What a Man Wants: Male-Only Spas Feature Big Screens and Big Relief
There's no two ways about it. Stress is stress – whether workplace pressure
or other daily tension – stress pays no attention to gender. Spas catering
exclusively to male clientele are finding great success in providing treatments
that are low on the girly factor but deliver results for men who seek relief and
rejuvenation. Many have also kept in mind men-friendly amenities such as lounges
where guys can kick back and catch the game on flat-screen televisions.
Located in San Antonio, Texas, A Terra Spa features a men's specialty menu

This treatment can be customized to address a man's individual areas of muscle
fatigue and tension. The mineral essential Dead Sea Salt Scrub is a natural
exfoliate ideal for men's skin, which leaves the body hydrated and invigorated.
Or, the Gentleman's Hot Towel Steam Facial incorporates the traditional barber
hot towel technique with aromatherapy for the ultimate
experience.

In Manhattan, more than 4,500 square feet are dedicated to care for men at

eight treatment rooms, mani and pedi stations, and a reading lounge is both
sophisticated and masculine. Nickel's famous morning-after rescue gel is a
must-have for New Yorker celebrities and night-clubbers.
