Editorial Review for Nickel Spa For Men – by Lorraine Sanders
In Short
From the Love Handles Wrap to the Metro Mani/Pedi, treatments at this trendy destination are made especially for men. Submarine-like interiors with stainless steel and deep blue accents house multiple therapy rooms, as well as a changing area with individual showers and a steam room. The Bodybuilder's Special does away with hair above the waist, while the Boyzilian takes care of what's below. Massage, facials, salt scrubs and nail services provide pampering from head to toe.

I've had a lot of massages over the years. And few masseurs have gotten me for a return visit. Ron at Nickel Spa for Men has got me hooked, and I would more than highly recommend a massage session with him. In addition to having great technical knowledge, he really got in synch with how I was feeling, where I hold my stress, and tailored my 90 minutes accordingly. He made a total mind/body connection with me. By the end, as the saying goes, I was putty in his hands. Ron was kind, thoughtful, and made the whole experience exceptional without all of the attitude you get at so many spas. I left feeling relaxed, rejuvinated and ready to face the world anew. I'll be back for sure.
Pros: Great massage, pleasant staff
Cons: Locker room isn't great

On a recent visit to San Francisco a friend convinced me to visit Nickel Spa with him. I had never had a massage before, personal space issues I guess. I figured it was long overdue and now know what I've been missing. Nickel Spa is great. Clean, relaxing professional enviroment with an equally professional, helpful and friendly staff. Definitely put this 1st timer at east. I was scheduled with Moe, ironically his 1st client at Nickel so it seemed to be a good match from the start. Moe was great. Easy to communicate with and and able to put up with my being somewhat uptight so I could enjoy the massage, which I did immensely and definitely wanna go back for more. it's like a little oasis and true treasure of the neighborhood. I have nothing to compare it to but know that I was not all ready to get up from the table once my time was up and feel great. Thanks for breaking this massage virgin un just right. Definitely gonna go back for more!
Pros: relaxing environment, friendly and helpful staff
Cons: locker room a bit small but not a big deal
