Boys Boys Boys!!

What is it with men and beauty? Most of them absolutely love being pampered and dream of having facials and manicures but would never dare to wander into a beauty salon for fear that it will detract from their manly prowess.

The thing is boys (if you're reading this) that there are many reasons why having the odd pamper session will make you feel even more manly.

1. Beauticians LOVE having men in. They spend their days surrounded by women so the chance for a bit of banter with the opposite sex is always welcome.

2. A man with lovely skin/hands/feet is always more atractive to the opposite sex

3. Relaxation time makes you much less stressed and therefore a much nicer person!

4. You might meet a lovely lady. Forget internet dating...where better to meet and get to know a woman? You can laugh about your mutual love of manicures as you meet for that first date!


Seriously though, I took my mate Martin for his first pedicure at The Beauty Lounge http://www.beautylounge.co.uk/ (which is my favourite place for just about any beauty treatment) and his reaction was just amazing.

At first he seemed a bit embarrassed by the fuss everyone was making of him but he soon relaxed into it and said it was one of the nicest things that he had ever done. The combination of having his feet pampered and massaged and the outcome (his feet had apparently never felt so soft or looked so good) was enough to convert him to the wonders of the pedicure.

There are a number of spas just for men, but I think more of you should also join us girls in our regular haunts. It'll be fun...I promise!
