The Spa is not just for women anymore – I Spa San Francisco Spa (Part 1)

Filed under: Spa Services — The I Spa @ 4:00 pm

spa in San FranciscoFor modern-day β€˜Princes of Denmark,’ the question of whether to exist or not (i.e., β€œto be or not to be”) has been decided. Men have arrived, and they are here to stay. A new question of the moment has arisen, though, and it confronts men head on: to spa or not to spa? It’s a question that ordinary men of previous generations could somehow avoid, but no more. At Spa, you or a man you know can address this question and, yes, even enjoy the process.

It would seem that a number of concerns could arise when mixing men and spa treatments, chief among them being the issue of masculinity. In recent history, the popular culture buttressed itself against such potential threats to manliness by mixing equal parts spa treatment luxuriousness with action hero dominance. James Bond can have his spa treatment just so long as his moment of relaxation can be interrupted by the need to dispatch an enemy. Bruce Lee faced similar situations. Yet, in fact, these scenes come out of a previous era, and the reality on the ground today is that men are less inclined to link the spa treatment with a bad form of vulnerability, and are increasingly opening up to the idea that their sex appeal and charisma are enhanced, not diminished, with a trip to the spa. Consider a treatment for a man you care about at and see for yourself.

$65 bucks for an amazing 50 minute massage...sign me up! I bought a Groupon for $120 worth of services at iSpa and redeemed it for a 50 minute Swedish Massage.

My masseuse, Madeline, was amazing. She greeted me warmly, made sure that the pressure of the massage was to my liking, and scored brownie points by incorporating hot stones into the massage...

One word for you: OMG. I received an amazing gift for a deep tissue massage from ISpa (heyyy groupon). While I've had massages before, I've never been to a spa proper and definitely not such a kick ass spot like ISpa. The hotel itself is really gorgeous and trendy, akin to the W. You make your way to the spa and the space is very open, white and relaxing. Everyone gets their own locker with a white robe and sandals. This was the perfect way to unwind after a day at work...
