Grooming Routine: The Best Spas for Men

Going to the spa isn’t just for the ladies anymore. Men’s spa treatments are becoming increasing popular, and hey, we have to admit, it is pretty attractive to see a man who likes to take care of himself. Women like a man with smooth, kissable skin (take it from me!). With Father’s Day coming up, spa treatments also make great presents. The Manual searched spa menus across the country to give you a selection of the most male-friendly spas; some do facials that are specially tailored for men’s skin, while others offer massages specifically for athletes.

Bliss
Bliss is one of our favorite spas, and you can take their awesome product line home with you.  The “Homme” Improvement is a facial that you wish you were getting right now to forget that hangover. It’s a version of their Triple Oxygen Facial that includes a serious scrub down and some in-grown hair removal magic.

Kiehl’s Spa 1851
This favorite carries a whole slew of men’s services, including a large selection of cuts, shaves and treatments. We suggest the Ultimate Close-Shavers Squadron Service (with Haircut) — you’ll get a straight razor shave, a custom apothecary mask, a haircut, relaxing scalp massage and styling. Total man overhaul.

La Prairie Spa Los Angeles
La Prairie offers some seriously good products and this Los Angeles location of their spa includes a special package called Grooming the Grooms, perfect pre game for the big day to look perfect for your lady. In addition, there are pedicures, manicures and facials made just for men.

Sir Spa
Most spas offer a menu for males, but this Chicago spa caters specifically towards them. Don’t worry, women and girlfriends are welcome too. Try the Sports Massage, which includes “muscle stretching, compression and release therapy for your workout maintenance.”

The Spa & Salon at ARIA
Whether you’re in the market for a full-service shave, tan (hey, it’s Vegas!), facial or massage, this spa has a full menu for men, so you can treat yourself to something special after winning big at the tables.

The Standard Spa
Okay, so they don’t offer special treatments specifically for men, but this is the go to place for in the know guys in Miami. It’s always filled with a cool crew and the hamam, steam rooms and sauna are all unisex and stay open very late so spa time can get pretty happening (keep it classy though!). Start with a bath and scrub in the hamam, then go for a full out facial.

The Manual Grooming Awards 2022: The Absolute Best Grooming Products for Men
The Manual Grooming Awards

Anyone who thinks skincare is light work hasn't been inside The Manual when approaching our fourth annual Grooming Awards. For the 2022 edition, we tapped four of our most experienced writers and six grooming influencers. For more than six months, they squeezed, daubed, and scrubbed their way through a cornucopia of more than 700 products. Any wobble in quality or mediocr e results when tested? Into the rubbish bin of editorial excess. With picks in hand, these grooming experts entered into a March Madness-like playoff bracket, wheedling their picks against others in a no-holds-barred, winner-take-all struggle for inclusion. But in the end, just 18 products survived, rounding out this year's list of what editors and contributors feel are the best-of-the-best skincare, hair care, and body care products that got us through a long, hard year.

All of our Grooming Award-winning products are effective, of course, but they also share a certain economy (because if 13 months of coronavirus lockdown taught us anything, it's that money sure doesn't grow inside the house). They're also relatively accessible through Nordstrom and elsewhere, and none of them require you to charter a jet to Paris. So, if you've neglected your appearance over the last year and need a reset, or just want to see what's latest and greatest in grooming, The Manual's got you covered. With Covid-19 restrictions loosening, vaccinations rolling out, and both domestic and international travel already looking promising, it's time to get out there and shine. Our carefully selected products will help you do it brighter.
