paris spa treatments for men

I originally posted this a few years back, but a recent string of inquiries has prompted me to repost these resources on where a guy can find a good spa treatment in Paris:

I received an email the other day from a groom-to-be in the U.S. who was frustrated because he couldn’t find information online about spa treatments for men in Paris. He and his Merry Band of Metrosexuals are foregoing the stereotypical Stag Night in Paris in Pigalle, and have chosen instead to spend the day before his Parisian wedding getting primped and pampered. His future bride is understandably ecstatic… Having had the pleasure of witnessing those bands of drunken bachelors first-hand when I lived near Pigalle in my former life, I sooo appreciate Groom-To-Be’s discretion. So here you go, boys. Kimmy’s just happy to help:

The Four Seasons Hotel: The spa in the Four Seasons George V features a full menu of treatments for men, including the “It’s a Man’s World”, which includes a green tea refresher, facial, herbal deep cleansing back treatment, Swedish massage and a classic manicure or pedicure. Served with green tea.

Institut Marc Delacre: Located on Avenue George V, this was the first institut for hair and beauty treatment in Paris that was conceived entirely for men.

Nickel :This trendy man’s spa in the Marais promises “Serious Skin Care for Men” (wipe that smirk off of your face, this instant!)

Il Fait Beau: Also located in the Marais, Il Fait Beau offers massages, laser hair removal, mani-pedis, and teeth whitening to help keep beautiful men looking their best.

Alain, Maitre Barbier: This is an old-fashioned Parisian barber shop (and museum) where you’ll be treated to a rasoir a l’ancienne with a sharpened straight razor and hot towel treatment. Alain also gives private lessons in the art of shaving…

And for you boys who may not have quite tapped into your inner-Beckham just yet…Here are a few products that can be ordered online for a French spa night chez vous (attention: this idea might not go over so well for your bachelor night, but would be great for a couples night in…)
