Charlie & Debbie

Luxury Men’s Grooming And Cocktail Spot Now Open In Charlotte

Author Charlie & Debbie

Okay, I may have to walk back one of my biggest and loudest tenets in life.  I am anti-spa.  Once upon a time while working at a radio station in Birmingham, Alabama, I was ‘treated’ to a full day of luxury at a new spa opening up.  A massage, manicure, pedicure, etc., you know, the works, I did it all.  I was in Hell.  First off, I could not have felt more uncomfortable in a place anywhere at any time.  It was OBVIOUSLY set up to appeal to women.  All the colors, scents, sounds/music, everything just screamed, “DUDES, GET OUT!”  Second, I really am not a fan of people messing with my fingers and feet.  It creeps me out.

That being said, on a daily basis I’m in a workspace with two women who fantasize about past and future visits to the spa.  That just makes me DOUBLE against it.  I’ve been very firm about this.  Until now.  There is a luxury spot now open with guys in mind that sounds like something I can rally behind.  According to MPV Properties, Scissors & Scotch serves a top-shelf experience along with a full cocktail lounge.  They provide the grooming experience every man deserves.  Scissors & Scotch is now open in the Ally Charlotte Center building, 601 S. Tryon Street, in Uptown Charlotte.   This is the franchise’s first location in North Carolina.

NOW, you have my attention.  And my opinion of these sorts of things is beginning to waver.  Their website further makes a case for my recalibration.  We’re not a salon. We’re not a clips joint. We’re not your run-of-the-mill barbershop. We’re everything you want your haircut to be, and then some. The Scissors & Scotch experience offers a complimentary cocktail, coffee, or cold one with every haircut, plus a full-service bar and lounge, because we know you’ll be ready for round two.

They offer a couple of different package experiences.  The aptly named, “Ten” and “Fifteen” year (get it? the ‘Scotch’ is in the name!) both promise a WHOLE lot more than your basic trim and dash.  And both are reasonably priced for sure ($49/$69).  I’m gonna be honest though, what’s REALLY got me intrigued is the shaving service detailed in the video below.  Are you kidding me?  There’s not a guy alive who loves to shave.  And what’s available in this area at Scotch & Scissors has me screaming, “Yes, please!”

I’ve heard of mom/daughter spa day.  I can totally see my son and I heading to this place for a trim, shave and a cocktail or two.  And walking away begging for another “spa treatment.”

Scissors & Scotch is open M-F (10-7) Sat (9-5) and Sun (11-5) at 601 S. Tryon Street, in Uptown Charlotte, in the Ally Charlotte Center building

9 Of The Most Luxurious Spas To Visit In North Carolina

Are the stresses of work and life weighing on you? Perhaps you’re looking for a relaxing way to celebrate a special occasion. Or maybe you’re just in a “treat yourself” phase. (How do I convince myself to end the treat yourself phase that I can’t afford? Asking for a friend). Whatever your reasoning, I bet you can come up with an excuse for a spa day or weekend. And lucky for you North Carolina is home to some fabulous top-tier spas. Whether you are looking for a spa day, staycation, or a weekend getaway there are perfect spas in North Carolina to choose from. That’s the hard part, choosing just one.

So while I can’t make the decision for you, I can’t even make decisions for myself, I can do some of the work for you. So I’ve compiled a list of 9 of the most relaxing and luxurious spas in North Carolina for you to choose from. Because you deserve it. Spas on the list include urban oasis, tranquil mountain getaways, resorts with golf, spas, and more to offer, and more. And you have to make a day of it. Not just your massage or facial, you want a destination you can take advantage of everything. Most of these destinations offer access to pools, whirlpools, saunas, fitness centers, and restaurants/bars.

So get to reading, then dreaming, and then planning your ultimate spa weekend. I may have to do the same (anyone want to foot the bill for that?). The list includes one spa I’ve personally visited, one I do have a trip planned to for a friend’s birthday and one that is a dream of mine to experience. Did I miss one you love? Let me know! If you need me I’ll be mentally relaxing, drinking prosecco, and enjoying a spa hot tub.
