What Every Man Wants: Day Spa Expert in Raleigh, North Carolina has the answer to your man's holiday wish list

November 24, 2004 -- What Every Man Wants: Day Spa Expert in Raleigh, North Carolina has the answer to your man's holiday wish list. Every man wants to be taken care of. Stress relief, pampering, and even some rejuvenation is something everyone, including men crave. Day spa gift certificates are becoming more and more popular with men, and it is no wonder. Computers, cell phones, and other advancements designed to make life easier can actually mean that it can be more difficult to leave business stress at the office. Men are asking for stress-relief and spas are listening.

Gone are the days that a man would walk into a spa and there would be looks of shock from other guests. At Blue Water Spa, in Raleigh, North Carolina, men make up approximately 40% of the clientele. The spa is designed to be inviting to both men and women. According to spa owner, Kile Law, men are often introduced to the spa when a mans wife or girlfriend purchases him a gift certificate. Other times, men can come in looking for the perfect gift for the lady in their life and find that they, too, could benefit from many of the spas offerings.

Some men can be initially a bit reluctant to experiencing spa services, but the environment of newer more upscale spas are very appealing and non-threatening to men. At Blue Water Spa, clients enter a contemporary, sleek waiting area with B&B Italia furnishings, floor to ceiling water walls, orchids, and fresh cut flowers. This type of environment is far more appealing to a man than the old fashioned idea of a day spa with silk flowers, overstuffed sofas, and lots of knick knacks.

Massage is always a popular procedure with men. A Gentlemans facial is also very popular. Men are also interested in newer treatments designed for skin rejuvenation like microdermabrasion, LED, and lymphatic treatments. With men, the key to satisfaction is combining results and relaxation. To a man, the best possible treatment is when they feel extremely relaxed and stress-free, and then they look in the mirror and say, wow. Some say a way to a mans heart is through his stomach, but one treatment every man loves is a foot treatment with hot stones and aromatherapy. This can be added to any treatment giving the experience of two therapists providing decadent relaxation simultaneously.

This holiday season more and more men will have spa gift certificates at the top of their list than every before.
