It's obvious that The Barbershop Lounge in Boston is catered specifically to men from the décor alone. The shop's emblem has the letters "BL" in the centre of a white shield logo with two red lions on each side – not feminine to say the least. The name itself is screaming "rugged and male." All the furnishings in the hotspot are black leather and red suede, and the magazine racks are filled with Gentlemen’s Quarterly and Golf Digest. The Barbershop Lounge is making sure their customers don't feel like pampering is unmanly; as much as it would be great if all men could feel manly regardless of the circumstances, unfortunately, ideologies still prevail in our society, and some men need a stereotypically male environment in order to feel comfortable.

Nickel Spa for Men in London, England is not rugged, but it manages to pull off manly while maintaining a sleek style at the same time – if only all men could pull off such a look. The furnishing is very simple, mostly white and different shades of blue, and the same goes for the walls, and the vibe is clean, fun and fresh. This spa has the looks and the brains - they mean serious business and do the job right, from facials, massages, manicures or pedicures, getting something waxed or even having a technical procedure done such as Botox. Their website is also very helpful for those who are newbie’s to the pamper-scene with tips and faux-pas men should know about before going in for a treatment.

Another popular male-only spot in trendy London, which also has a second location in Belfast, is Jason Shankey, which was actually voted as the number one male grooming hotspot in London. The award-winning salon has a rich, rustic feel, with dark wood floors, black leather chairs, and pale walls with white crown molding. The main room is what we used to refer to as a barbershop, but now call "male grooming." What's different about this place from a barbershop, though, is that it offers skin treatments, bronzing, massage, hair removal and hands and feet treatments. Now we know why all the British lads are so smoking hot.

Even Germany's joining in the fun with the country's first ever men's-only spa, which opened two months ago in Munich. Media Spa's concept is that men are different than women (shocker). Their skin is different, their bodies are different, and therefore regular, traditional spa treatments typically aimed at women just won't cut it. They do everything, from aesthetic improvements to make you look better, to wellness treatments to make you feel better. Media Spa is transcending the German barrier of needing to be "manly" men and embracing that physical and emotional wellness – looking good and feeling good about yourself – is manly too.
