A manicure please! “You’re so metrosexual’!

Interestingly enough, I’d thought to put this discussion here today as we’d had a few men who had recently been to our salon to get their nails cared for (some even asked for a very hot pink polish on their toes. Good on you, you brave souls!!!). We also have our own regulars of course.

Anyway, a few came on their own accord, while few others were accompanying their female partners (willingly or not we were not sure :)). But it is a good sign whether we’re labeling these men metrosexual or whatever. Men needs their usual TLC for their nails just as much as anyone. My man always get his good dose of manicures regularly and I always tell him to use hand lotion to keep his hands well moiturised. There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking after yourself from tips to toes, whether you are a men or a women, in our view.

See below for a few definitions of the “metrosexual” definitions that are being coined around.

Metrosexual - Modern enlightened, sort of rennasance man. Secure and confident, capable and cool, typically well educated and stylish. Heterosexual with a twist, not gay by any means, but he probally has a few gay friends, and can easily be mistaken for gay by rednecks and jock types. The only straight guy in a fabric store or antique shop who is not being dragged there by a woman.

Metrosexual - An urban straight male ranging in age from late teens to mid 30’s who is: good looking, stylish, fashionable, trendy, cultured, & well groomed. A metro sexual is very conscious about his image and looks in public. A metro sexual is often associated with getting manicures, facials, & massages, as well as using “products” and shopping at nice clothing stores. However, metro sexuals don’t necessarily engage in each of these activities.
