Spas are starting to cater to Black men, especially bearded Black men. Some spas are just trying it out, others have their services for men down pact. Spa services for women, expectant mothers and even teens and children have long been available.
But, getting services like a beard facial and sport’s massages are harder to find. Men need to develop a habit of self-care too, just as women do. Getting a pedicure isn’t selfish, it’s relaxing and can even be necessary.
Let’s normalize men having a spa weekend. There’s a ton of adventure at these Spa Resorts, so guys won’t be bored. It’s time to indulge. So, send yourself (of your bae) to one of these spas that cater to Black men.
