Disney Cruise Line: A Manly Shave at Senses Spa & Salon

Most ladies I know are fairly quick to head off to the Spa & Salon while on vacation to have a few moments of luxurious pampering. However when they mention that their husbands should go it's met with resistance. However, Senses Spa & Salon on board the Disney Dream and Fantasy offer top notch shaving experiences to pamper your man.


A Manly Shave at Senses Spa Salon


My traveling companion was the guinea pig for me to be able to bring you an experienced review of the manly art of a shave, and his thoughts are reflected here. Since this was his first shave he went with the Elemis Express Shave.

Senses Spa & Salon Entrance
Walking into the posh Senses Spa you're greeted by lovely ladies smiling brightly from behind the desk. Everyone at the spa was warm and friendly making you feel instantly at ease. You will be handed a robe and shown to the changing/locker room. What an amazing locker room it is too, with it's beautiful hardwood lockers and luxurious decor. It may be the nicest locker room the average guy ever steps into. After a little time in one of the assorted steam rooms, a hostess will direct you to the barber shop for your shave.

Climb into the overstuffed leather barber chair and be transported with warm towels, ice cold lotions, and gentle massages. The barber (who was a woman for his appointment) did everything possible to make it the most relaxing experience ever. All of the products used during the shave were from the Elemis men's line. Elemis is the leading luxury British spa and skincare brand. Their successful combination of natural active ingredients with cutting-edge technology has enabled Elemis to bring to market some of the most influential professional spa-therapies in the industry.

The 45 minute treatment went by quickly, and my companion left refreshed and relaxed. He was impressed with the experience and commented that next time he thought he would splurge in the more expensive Grooming Treatment.
