Why is there a negative stigma surrounding men’s self-care? Why do men feel emasculated by the idea of receiving a manicure or a pedicure? I’ve asked these questions to several men and most can never give a valid answer; you know like “it’s against my religion”, or “I’m allergic to water”. My husband was raised in the south. A country boy as some may call him. He’s a hard worker. He builds things and he gets down in the dirt. To me, he’s a manly man. As you may have guessed, convincing him to get his first pedicure was like pulling teeth! He all, but had on a full costume when he and I arrived at the local nail salon. I’m serious. He had on a hat and sunglasses and walked around nervously as if he had appeared on the most wanted segment on the local news! Although he loved the service, he hated the atmosphere. It made him uncomfortable. He complained about the language barrier, the chemical smells, and being surrounded by women (now that he’s married of course). He felt out of place. He thought I was great at foot massages and suggested that I do it professionally. So out of his discomfort and needs, I birthed the Man Cave Nailcare for Gentlemen LLC. At The Man Cave Nailcare, our goal is to provide a more intimate, personalized, and relaxing experience for every man.
So why am I serving males only? The answer is quite simple…they are often overlooked and under-served as it relates to these types of services. The biggest challenge so far has been convincing men that these services are necessary self-care routines.
Ok men, hear me out. Let’s do a fact check.
