R & R = Relax and Revitalize
How does today’s contemporary man combine the relaxation of
the men’s club with the revitalization of the traditional gym?
Day spas have steadily grown in popularity with women for the last
ten years. In 2003, the industry reported $11.2 billion in revenues.
However, people the world over have come to a better understanding
of the impact of both mental and physical fitness on overall health.
Men as well as women seek time-outs from fast-paced daily life. The
ambient,
relaxing atmosphere of the day spa is where both genders
find it.
According to the International SPA Association, 30 percent of today’s
spa patrons are men. Spa owners are taking notice of this statistic
and many have added exclusive packages and treatments that cater
to their male clientele.
As well as providing exclusive services for men, some spas have
edged into the male day spa niche with jargon like hair camouflage
replacing hair color, body detailing instead of body waxing, and
sports massage instead of Swedish massage.
In addition, some spas
also feature men’s hot shave and barbering services and add
services for men with male-oriented lines of cosmetics.
