Man-icure at Rēnu Day Spa in Deerfield, Il

This is not your Aunt Christine’s nail salon, I explain to my buddies, but they don’t listen. This is Rēnu Day Spa, for men, women, and children, I continue, but they don’t believe me.

This is not your typical manicure. I don’t need to prove it to my buddies. And they can’t make me feel ashamed.

For one hour, twice a month, I allow myself to relax with a Reflexology Manicure at Rēnu. They massage my hands using a technique from Oriental science. They say that by massaging my hands in this particular way, they help relax organs all over my body.

I’m not sure if it’s all in my head or if it’s a miracle of science, but I leave my manicure feeling new again, twice a month re-centered. I’m not sure if it’s from peer pressure or their own issues of masculinity, but I hope my buddies get over their hang-ups soon and allow themselves to sit back and enjoy a well-earned pampering.
