Have you noticed if your man has gotten a little too…manly? There’s a fine line between looking masculine and looking like a caveman, so if you’ve noticed that your partner’s skin could use an overhaul, nails could use a sanding-down or he’s hairy in all the wrong places, then it might be time to book a spa appointment. But many guys will balk at the suggestion that he should go one of those stuffy, girly, frouffy places inhabited by ladies who lunch and an all-female staff. However, that’s just not how most spas operate these days. There’s something for everyone, including the manliest man. Appeal to his vanity when broaching the subject. If he’s a gym rat, then he might be up for a massage to relax those tight muscles. Consider the kind of massage he might like.

A simple half-hour shoulder and neck massage is a good start for a spa “virgin.” A little time to soak in a hot tub or relax in the sauna might do him some good, too. Tack on a harmless mani/pedi if you keep getting scratched in all the wrong places. Give him a gift card for a professional shave for the ultimate masculine luxury. He’ll love the hot towel treatment and close shave, plus he might find a few products that streamline his own regimen. It would be ideal if you or your man can tour the spa facility and ask questions before scheduling treatments. You can discover whether there are men-only facilities, if therapists can be chosen by gender and what the typical attire of the facility is before committing.
