This men's-only spa has the ambiance of an old-fashioned barbershop but with a modern twist. While waiting for a cut, customers can play pool, watch a game on a plasma TV and draw a pint from a tap. The spa offers traditional, manly treatments such as a hot shave for $26 or a shoeshine for $7. More, um, modern men can get a massage for $80 to $140, a facial for $80, ear "candling" (wax removal) for $50 or -- God help them -- a manicure for $18 or pedicure for $30. Mankind also offers dry-cleaning and tailoring services. Somewhere, Steve McQueen is crying.
