Women have been forgetting their worries with a visit to the day spa for years, so why can't men do the same? And who says that men don't care about how they look, anyway? Don't be ashamed of your desire for an expensive hair cut or a mani/pedi – just book into one of these male-centric day spas instead.
No. 19 Men's Day Spa (
shop 1, corner of Little Stanley and Grey Street, Southbank) is a discreet, men-only venue and one of Brisbane's most popular. No. 19 offers head to toe treatments carried out by specialised practitioners (from hair cuts to manicures), plus an onsite naturopath and a deluxe smoothie bar.
Garth Modern Day Spa (
shop 4/36 Vernon Terrace, Teneriffe) caters to both men and women. Their range of treatments designed specifically for men includes massage and reflexology, facials, manicures and pedicures and waxes (including the Male Brazilian – if you dare). If it's your first time at a spa, brush up on the etiquette
here.
It doesn't seem right to call Elan Men's Hair and Body (
162 Edward Street, Brisbane) a barbershop, even if that's technically what it is. But the humble barbershop has come a long way since your grandfathers days, now offering hair styling and colouring, facials, massages, hand and feet treatment and grooming and fashion consultants.
And the
Rainforest Massage and Day Spa (
16 Priory Street, Indooroopilly) offers men's massage packages, complete with light meal and a beer. If you don't want to go by yourself, take advantage of the couple packages.
Relax and unwind at a male day spa, where you know you're in professional and capable hands.
