just curious. i was given a GC as a present and the menu looks rather.. extravagant. i've been only a few times and while highly enjoyable, i'm completely lost beyond the mani/pedi/facial/massage. a vichy rain shower? hydrotherapy? ayurvedic indian scalp massage? body wraps? body exfoliation? wow.<br><br>
what do you like?<br><br>
eta: men, if you go, feel free to chime in as well! <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif">

I'm a big fan of hot stone massages (either full massage or as a pedicure), and facials (add on a vitamin C mask if available).<br><br>
Enjoy!!!

Hydrotherapy is divine. Just be careful if you're hypotensive. I passed out after the first time I had it!

 

[QuixoticNotions]

Personally I wouldn't go beyond the basics that I recognized. But I'm not much of a spa gal

Aromatherapy is pretty cool....uhh, not that I've been. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I have never been to the spa so I think go nuts! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
However this thread is making me want to cut my hair again.

We all know you have the best looking skin of any male. Product whore!

Another vote for hot stone massage.<br><br>
And if they have a pedicure that involves foot massage... that's pretty darn awesome.

Manicures, pedicures, and waxing regularly, and the occasional facial and massage. I have never done any of the fancy stuff. Although the facials I get are Ayurvedic facials, and as far as I can tell, that just means they use a special kind of essential oil with you and do maybe a bit more facial massage-y type stuff. It's perhaps a bit more soothing than a regular facial.<br><br>
There's something about the place I go for most spa stuff. . .this is going to sound kind of weird. . .but they way they touch with massage is just very loving. Not inappropriate or creepy. It feels different to me than other places.

Callus shaving.

I LOVE a good massage. I'd probably skip the fancier stuff and use the GC for more than one massage...

 

[Stitcher]

I can't do massage unless it's DT.<br><br>
My spa is great....<br>
that's my foo foo hair lady!<br>
If you get there at the right time of day.....say, when they're OPEN....they'll give you wine while they cut your hair.<br><br>
Facials are a new indulgence of mine.......every once in awhile.<br>
Manis are a waste of time on my hands...<br>
Pedis last a little longer, but I always forget to take flip flops so I don't get them all the time.

I love the hot stone massage. That's all I've had but tonight I get to have my head rubbed by my hair dresser guy. mmmmm bliss

Is this a mancard violation or did you just "hear" about it?

 

[QuixoticNotions]

By the time a man is getting aromatherapy, is he likely to still have a mancard to get violations on?<br><br>
(I kid, I kid)

 

[runningINnyc]

I'm pretty sure CoachT's mancard has been revoked for YEARS. Let him tell you about his skin care regime. <img alt="roll_eyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif">

 

[coacht]

I'm not sure who even has my mancard these days. Last time I saw it was in 2005.

 

[oache]

I'm a fan of the "happy ending"..........it's mancard friendly too.

 

[gumbee]

Unfortunately I know what you mean. I tell people that I wear the pants in my family............... my wife picks them out for me, but at least I get to wear them.

<img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> Mr. DC has the same problem. (but he's also very, very colorblind, so if I didn't pick out his clothes, he'd look really, really, really bad.)
