Give Your Favorite Mani a Pedi!

Dad toils over lawn care and is the master of your home’s landscaping. This Father’s Day how about giving him the gift of a little manscaping?

His hands are rough and dry from yard work and could use a little TLC. With warm weather upon us, his feet are finally seeing freedom from black socks, and he deserves some hoofers he’ll be proud to show off in his Chaco’s. He may be the manliest of men, but once he’s been soaked, trimmed and massaged, he’ll understand what we girls already know: Take care of your hands and feet and they will take care of you.

Nail Bar offers a whimsical menu of nail and waxing services for both women and men. The Man’s Hand Job at $25 includes callous removal, exfoliation, nourishing oil and massage. The Signature Pedicure at $48 includes a milk bath soak, exfoliating scrub, mask, paraffin treatment and essential oil foot/leg massage. Polish is, of course, optional.

While his toes are drying…a little bird (named mom) might suggest he take advantage of the haute hair removal. Can’t imagine dad as a waxer? Maybe he can’t see the hair on his back because it’s... well... on his back. And dad’s eyebrows may have grown together so gradually that he doesn’t realize they’ve presented a united front worthy of a revolution.

Never fear. Dad can belly up to the Nail Bar whose whimsical waxes and trims include: The Brooke Shields (Eyebrow Clean-up) $15, Chicago (City of Big Shoulders) $25, Schwartzenegger (Chest) $40, Planet of the Apes (Full Back) $50, Karl Malden (Nose Trim) and the Spock (Ear Trim) $10 each.

Dad will be so pleased with the results, he’ll wax poetic on the greatest Father’s Day gift ever. And who knows? He may just become a Nail Bar fly.
