The term “Pampering” is no longer reserved just for women! Throughout this issue, within the articles and press releases presented to you, our reader, the evidence of such a fact is prevalent. According to the article, Understanding Male Skin, Dr. Claudia Aguirre points out that the “American consumers spent $4.8 billion on male grooming products in 2009, a figure that has doubled over the past decade…” Therefore, it should not be surprising that by adding treatments which are solely focused and devoted to the male client it could dramatically improve your customer numbers. Within this month’s Great Treatments section, we have included several different treatments from around the world that are designed to “pamper” the male client; in hopes they will inspire you with new thoughts and ideas on how to update or revitalize your service menu.
