New Yorkers are busy people, so sometimes they have a difficult time relaxing and unwinding at the spa. This is not one of those stories.

Right off the bat I felt at home walking into Mezzanine Spa in SoHo. If only my home was as relaxing and serene! But hey, that’s why some ingenious person invented spas, to give us crazed city-folk a rare and much needed chance to step out of our hectic norms and let our troubles melt away. This is exactly the environment the owners and staff at Mezzanine have created with a feeling of peace in the air, the cleanest of clean lockers, waiting and treatment rooms and a very helpful and smiling staff. I was taken in promptly for my appointments, something I really value as a time crunched New Yorker.

During Spa Week, I had the best facial I have ever had here. And although they did not recommend I have a facial before a massage, there were no other appointments left and the process was very gentle (yet thorough) and non-invasive, so there really was no problem. My skin is still glowing weeks later! I am so glad I went in to Mezzanine or I would have never known that facials do not have to hurt! And I really appreciated the descriptions of what products my facialist was using and the procedures she was doing along the way. I don’t know about you but I love being an educated consumer, especially when it comes to people working on my money maker! It just makes me feel more comfortable and be able to enjoy the entire process more.

Then on to the massage, which was much needed! Don’t get me wrong, I am kind of a massage connoisseur – my favorite ever has been at the Wynn Towers in Las Vegas, so please consider that fact when reading my review!  It was good. That is about all I can say. Not best I’ve ever had, but far from the worst. My massage therapist started me face up, which I found to be a little unusual, but hey I am not traditional so I went with it. She made me feel very comfortable right off the bat and was very friendly and not too talkative. Something I enjoy in a massage therapist is them holding off on the small talk and really letting me enjoy what I paid for!

The overall experience was awesome and I definitely would recommend Mezzanine Spa, especially for the facials.

Warning ladies… you may be wondering why your man has tossed out his razor. Well, a liquor company has launched a movement called “No Shave November.” Contestants submit their manliest beards in order to win. The prize?  Bragging rights and the party of a lifetime with friends. Oh the things men will do for some free beer…

We’ve seen athletes keep the beard during the playoffs in hopes of swaying the sports gods in their favor. One particular athlete garnered lots of attention for his grizzly beard: Brian Wilson of the San Francisco Giants. The Giants went on to win the World Series in 2010… was it the beard? We’ll never know…

AND THAT’S NOT ALL that’s happening this month. Maybe it’s not a full on grizzly bear face your man is growing… perhaps it’s just a creepy looking Fu Manchu on his upper lip? The explanation for that is that this is also Movember. This time for charity – men are growing out their ‘staches for prostate cancer research and other causes.

The good news: it’s only a month. Hmm… wonder what our man would say if we didn’t shave for a month? Or if we skipped our lip-threading appointment this month? That’s right boys – be afraid… be very afraid!

Red Door Spa far exceeded this spa goer’s expectations, and just may have gained a fan for life!

This was my first time participating in Spa Week as well as my first time going to a Red Door Spa. I had booked the 50 Min Spa Week Stress Melter Ritual with Exfoliation, Aroma Therapeutic Body Wrap and Relaxing Scalp Massage. I was not sure what to expect, but I knew they were probably booked solid so I somewhat expected a rushed service and a not so friendly technician who had been on her feet all day.

From the moment I walked in I got a totally different vibe than I expected, the staff was friendly the spa was so clean and relaxing and my service did not feel rushed at all. This was one of the best services I have ever had at a spa. I left feeling relaxed yet rejuvenated, my skin felt great and I am still in shock I got all of that for only $50!  I think I will now be a ‘Spa Weeker’ for life.
