Men's Room

Well-Being -- Looking and Feeling Good
The masculine lounge area at men's spa HOMMAGE Atelier.

Graphite stone walls, deep leather chairs, a roaring fireplace, iPads and flat-screen TVs create an appropriately masculine mood in the lounge area of HOMMAGE Atelier (pictured), a spa in which men are shaved with a straight razor, shorn by a top hairstylist, massaged, manicured, pedicured, exfoliated, waxed, groomed and completely pampered—without having to check their machismo at the door. Jacket-steaming and shoe-buffing services are optional.

At Fábula Skincare & Wellness, beautician/massage therapist Claudia Colombo combines skin care and yoga to calm stress.

We all know that stress can wreak havoc on the skin, so it stands to reason that a sense of calm can have a positive impact on the complexion. That was why beautician/massage therapist Claudia Colombo came up with the idea of combining her “two passions—skin care and yoga.” Her 100-minute Alchemy Facial ($270) includes a body massage, chakra meditation and face treatments. Clients leave glowing, both inside and out.

Skin Test

Cellure goes above and beyond the average skin-care samples with mirrored boothes to try items.

Plenty of skin-care purveyors offer demonstrations, but newcomer Cellure (pictured) goes far beyond a daub of moisturizer on the palm. Upon entering the gleaming white store, its clinical crispness softened by wood panels, a client is given a bag of samples and ushered into a mirrored booth where, aided by a touch-screen video, he or she tries each item in the line’s five-step regimen. Then comes a detailed discussion with a staffer about the products, which use adult stem-cell extracts to rejuvenate the skin.
