Spas are catering to guys now, offering massages, facials, shaves, manicures, and pedicures-all designed to put grooms at ease and have them looking their best for the big day.

Massage
When a guy goes to a spa he wants a massage, and rightly so. He may be used to the traditional rubdown,but there are all sorts of unique twists to the old standby. With the infusion of hot-rock and aroma-therapy options, a massage can be as comfortable or as adventurous as he wants it to be.

Facial
If he’s going to protests, chances are it will come when you utter the word “facial.” Do some convincing if you must, though; he won’t be disappointed. He may not admit it, be he’ll love the special attention, and ever the most rough-and-tumble groom will notice the benefits to his skin.

Shave
If images of barber poles and straight razors are dancing through your head, then you’re half right. The old-fashioned shave is back, but along with the hot lather and witty banter, guys are also taking advantage of the latest in face-care products while they get those whiskers trimmed.

Manicure & Pedicure
He may not know if, but those uneven nails and ugly cuticles of his make an impression. Getting a regular manicure is just good business sense for any young professional. And while he many not be regularly showing off his toes a work, a pedicure will keep his feet soft and callus-free.
