| Aidan
Gill for Men 2026 Magazine St New Orleans, LA 70130-5018 Phone: (504) 861-3340 | Infuriated
by so-called "unisex" salons that emasculate male clientele with feminine
frills, Dublin native and London retail vet Aidan Gill opened his art deco doors
to guys who want to be pampered like proper gentleman. The store houses an old-fashioned
English barbershop that offers full barbering services, including hot-towel shaves
and glasses of Jameson Irish whiskey. You'll recognize the expert staff by their
dapper attire. These impeccably groomed guys in suspenders and bow ties will explain
what makes a high-quality shave brush so expensive. Passers-by stop in to check
the museum quality barbershop artifacts and the city's coolest collection of ties.
The refined shop here for tubs of delicately scented European shave lotions. For
your son's first haircut, ask for the "heirloom" package. Photographer
David Spielman will document the occasion, and the shop will frame the photo along
with the first shorn locks. Make someone's spa wish come true...Spa

| Albert
Brown Salon 7217 Perrier St. New Orleans, LA 70118 504-861-0090 | Although
this salon looks like the typical small beauty shop located uptown, it's big on
talent. The owner, Albert Brown, is regarded as the best hair colorist in the
city. In fact, this is the place to go when other hairstylists turn your head
a strange hue of green. Mr. Brown is often called to the set of movies or to the
hotels of the rich and famous. Brown's clientele list has included celebrities
such as Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Linda Carter and Cheryl Ladd. Aside
from hair, this salon also specializes in facials, massages and manicure/pedicures.
If you're up for a great day of relaxation, ask about their special package, including
a manicure, pedicure, make-up session, massage, haircut, shampoo, hairstyle and
a champagne lunch. The shop may not seem like much on the outside, but the services
they offer pamper you beyond your wildest imagination. Make someone's spa wish

| Bliss
Day Spa & Shop 200 Metairie Road #201 Metairie, LA 70005 504-828-1997 | Forget
about ignorance. Bliss can now be equated with the pampering offered at Nancy
Lovejoy's intimate suburban salon. Open since 1998, Bliss has attracted local
devotees who stop in religiously for weekly bodily and spiritual rejuvenation.
The heavenly "Day of Bliss" signature treatment -- which includes a
massage, facial, manicure and pedicure -- is a favorite for birthday and bridal
parties. As a memento, Bliss gives the honoree a special gift -- such as soap
or a foot filer -- from the spa's shop, where Mary Lupo products are the best
sellers. The mostly female staff has a talented touch that draws women, men and
even children, and gift certificates prove a generous way to allow others to indulge
in the spa's sensual pleasures. Make someone's spa wish come true...Spa

| Earthsavers
Relaxation Spa & Store 434 Chartres St. New Orleans, LA 70130 504-581-4999 | The
soothing scents of eucalyptus and lavendar welcome you to the urban oasis that
is Earthsavers. One of the most down-to-earth venues on New Orleans's growing
day-spa scene, Earthsavers has locations both uptown and in the French Quarter,
as well as in Metairie, and over the years it has built an eclectic but loyal
local clientele. Kiehl's and Mario Badescu are among the name-brand product lines
you will find here, but Earthsavers's own glitz-free products are just as good.
Pick up a holiday package of coordinated candles, soaps, and lotions, or design
your own indulgent gift baskets. Locals visiting their favorite facialist or massage
therapist predominate at the uptown and Metairie branches, while the French Quarter
Earthsavers sees a good bit of casual foot traffic. A homey, slightly cluttered
feel to the stores makes for comfortable, unpressured browsing, and the ample
testers will have you lubed up in no time. If
the gift baskets on display are not quite what you want, ask for help designing
your own – specify relaxing, energizing, rejuvenating, or any number of other
desirable states of mind, and the sales associates will put something together
for you. Make someone's spa wish come true...Spa

rejuvenations. Alii honey wraps, pumpkin enzyme peels and salt glows are favorites.

deeper with beta-cell-stimulating treatments and other immune boosters. A variety
of hair- and skin-care products are also availbable. If you don't see what you
want, just ask one of the friendly and knowledgeable staff members, and they'll
suggest an appropriate elixir. Make someone's spa wish come true...Spa

| Lulur
Buras 7818 Maple St New Orleans, LA 70118-3961 Phone: (504) 865-7322 | It's
a small and inviting brick cottage with complete spa and salon services. The friendly
and prompt staff greets you in the front room, which houses an array of makeup

themselves. Lulu Buras provides facial care, waxing, a full hair salon, nail care
and a large selection of therapeutic services. Can't decide on a treatment? Spa
packages for men and women are available. Buras studied under "the foremost
estheticians of Europe," and some of the 74 options listed are unique to

The
Spa at The Ritz-Carlton | The
gentle beau monde elegance of 19th century New Orleans lives on at The Spa at
The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, a place where draped chandeliers and a hint of
citrus in the air return you to a world of beauty, ease and courtly traditions.
The spirit of the city's colorful history blends naturally with the latest spa
therapies and services, creating an elegant experience rooted in the past but
positioned for the future -- very much like the city of New Orleans itself. Specially
designed packages are available to provide for an artfully balanced experience.
If you've ever wondered how Marie Antoinette kept her looks, or Napoleon stayed
battle-ready, perhaps the secret could be found in the invigorating and exotic
health and beauty treatments practiced in France centuries ago. Many of these
same formulas to preserve wellness have inspired the therapies offered at the
spa in The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans. Make someone's spa wish come true...Spa

| Pampered
Soul & Body 4826 Magazine St. New Orleans, LA 70115 504-895-5333 | Unlike
most other salons, this place does much more than focus just on the physical.
The quaint, earthly salon operates with the belief that your soul must be cleansed
just like your body. For that reason, this moderately sized studio on Magazine
Street sells a variety of products like Full Moon Bath Salts, designed to be part
of a healing ritual practiced each month during the full moon. From Pampered Soul
and Body's philosophy, it should be pretty obvious the shop is operated by free
thinkers who place a lot of stock in practices like aromatherapy and therapeutic
massage. An afternoon filled with seaweed facials, reflexology massages and aromatherapy
baths is a great way to spend your time. If you're not really into the all-natural
spiritual thing, Pampered Soul and Body also offers the standard spa services
like manicures/pedicures, waxing and hair cut/coloring. Make someone's spa wish
