The V Spa at the Hilton Anatole recently revamped and relaunched its gentleman’s menu of services. The majority of the Adolphus Spa’s business is women (likely a 60/40 split), but having worked in the industry for well over a decade, she is also definitely seeing more men come as clients. When visiting with Spa Adolphus director Amy Bell she shared similar thoughts as to what I heard at the Anatole. The 80-minute treatment is “topped off” with a serving of the 1912 cocktail which can be enjoyed post-treatment in the spa’s chic outdoor patio.

A four-hour package, The Dallas Man, entices potential clients with: “Working downtown or on a dude ranch leaves your muscles feeling tired.” In addition to a “man-a-cure” they offer pedicures, facials, and assorted body treatments as part of their men’s services menu. Spa Adolphus at the famed downtown Dallas hotel of the same name offers high-end treatments specifically tailored to gentlemen as well. Here, I’ve compiled a guide to the best spas and treatments for the Dallas man. I‘ve found that a big obstacle for many men to take care of their skin is simply not knowing where to go. Karavas adds with a wink, “I think it has to do with their partners pressuring them to take their skin seriously.” To learn more about the campaign and support it yourself, check out /housing-is-vital.“In general guys are taking way better care of their skin.” What they have accomplished is remarkable.” But thanks to Lew, Charlotte, and their volunteer committee, we’re more than 90% of the way there already. “As a lean social service nonprofit, we don’t have the resources to invest in projects like these.
“When we first considered developing these new facilities, we never dreamed we could raise this kind of funding in support,” said Board President Craig Davis.
“They understand that these facilities will serve Central Texas for generations to come – and who doesn’t want to be a part of that?”Īt about 90% of the way to their $3.5 million goal, Project Transitions is confident in making the two facilities a reality. “Before we can even get into the details, people have been jumping in to make pledges,” he recalled.
