...I feel really self conscious and uncomfortable getting pampered too much. A great haircut with a straight razor/hot towel shave I love. And massage is fine. But I find the mani/pedi and facial thing across some unseen but very real personal line. I have done it a few times as part of a couple's spa experience my wife thought would be fun but I was uncomfortable and not having fun for some of it. And frankly, I think my being uncomfortable made the poor service people a bit uncomfortable as well.
