Hey, Guys! Spas Aren’t Just for the Ladies—Man Up at These Locales

Celebrate spring with a specialized spa session.

Spring is known as a time of rebirth, renewal and rejuvenation. So how about luxuriating at a local day spa?  Relaxing massages, beauty treatments and other pampering possibilities await you, and news flash: Spas aren’t just for the ladies. Many of the following venues offer packages tailored to men.

Did European gentlemen in days of yore get facials, pedicures, lash tints or brow waxes?  Probably not, but Marie Monet European Skin Care & Medical Spa invites men to treat themselves with their “Gentlemen’s Package” anyhow.  Bridal packages and “Mommy Getaway” treatments are also available.

In addition to bridal and couples day spa retreats, Revive Day Spa & Salon offers Princess Parties for girls age 3-12, transforming them into little Cinderellas with hair styling, makeup, nails, massage and—of course—a tiara (sparkly ball gowns, pumpkin carriages and Prince Charmings not included).

Luxury and royalty go hand in hand, so it’s fitting that Salon de Solage offers “Queen for a Day” and “Princess” packages, as well as “Girls Night Out” treatments and even a “Sports Package” for the fellas, which has nothing to do with sports but everything to do with making spa treatments somehow sound macho.

While Skincare Unlimited offers alluring spa package titles like “The Ultimate Escape,” “Tension Tamer” and “The Royal Treatment,” they had us at “Chocolate Indulgence,” a three-hour treatment featuring cocoa exfoliations, a raspberry chocolate shower, seven-step European Absolute Chocolate Facial, a chocolate-scented massage and more.

While Stardust Rejuvenating Spa offers a wide range of traditional spa treatments (facials, massage, body wraps, hair styling), they specialize in “Sugaring Hair Removal,” an all-natural antibiotic sugar paste that promises gentle and less painful hair removal—take that evil wax!
