For some men, a haircut is a mere necessity—almost a chore, in fact. But for others, a haircut is that special pleasure. This trickles down to manicures and pedicure. But the lack of spa options for men - without Dr. Phil droning in the background and the aroma of acetone filling the air – is still pathetically limited. But, slip into the just-opened Mankind for an appointment with a master stylist, and you might think you're also paying to make a new friend.
Mankind is Noel Nagout’s little mandspa created just for men, and these pros take the time to make sure you get exactly what you want. If you don't know what you want, they'll get pretty revved up discussing the possibilities. Before opening the doors to Mankind, a one-stop grooming shop that markets itself as a 21st century barber shop, Nagout was reduced to learning how to wax his eye-brows himself… and certainly no man should ever have to do that and surely no woman should ever have to watch her man do that.
That said, Mankind, which takes over the old Swipe Books space, offers a whole gamut of services, in addition to man-waxing, that includes a straight razor shave, involving 18 cryptic stages, 45 minutes, and a lot of hot towels ($65); the alpha male haircut, complimented by a hand massage, paraffin hand wax and a hot towel massage ($45); and foot detailing ($30) that may or may not take care of the athlete's foot you picked up at the gym. Mankind, can go all-out crazy or as conservative as you need to keep your job. Also, Mankind is the place to go for "manscaping."
The small space comes equipped with a 22-inch flat-screen television at every cutting station, and a Manctuary, or waiting area, featuring an overstuffed leather couch, 65-inch flat-screen and Sony Playstation. A mere $10,000 gets you unlimited access to Mankind's services for the whole year, which when you consider how much money you save on beer and how much guilt you prevent by not coming home late, is quite a reasonable price.
