Mens Body Works

Mens Body Works is a grooming and day spa on Bridge Road in Richmond, Melbourne, with a focus on men’s grooming, personal care and wellness. Established in 2002 by Angie Macolino, the business remains hands-on under her direction and brings together hairstylists, massage therapists, beauty and dermal specialists, and day spa therapists. The venue describes itself as Melbourne’s first and only grooming and medi spa dedicated to men, with women also welcomed on Wednesdays.

The service list covers hair and barbering, facials, massage, waxing, IPL laser treatments, LED light treatments, scalp care, hair restoration and a range of water-based experiences. Standout options include the Japanese Head Spa, Hydro Spa, Vichy Rain Shower and Float Tank. The Hydro Spa uses 144 jets, while the Vichy experience takes place on a wet massage table and can include a body scrub or mud wrap. The Float Tank is positioned as a relaxation and recovery treatment, and the Japanese Head Spa focuses on head, hair and scalp massage and specialised care.

There is also a broad selection of skin and body treatments. IPL is offered for concerns including pigmentation, redness, acne and hair removal, with a consultation before treatment to check suitability. LED light treatment is available on its own or as an addition to a facial, using different light colours for different skin concerns. Massage, infrared sauna, ear candling, teeth whitening, tattoo removal, spray tanning and hair replacement are also listed among the available services. The website advises that some IPL treatments require multiple sessions and that clients should discuss the procedure with a therapist beforehand.

The space is presented as a combination of a relaxed lounge and a health, beauty and recovery retreat, making it suited to anyone wanting several grooming or wellness services in one place. It works particularly well for a solo appointment, whether that means a haircut, facial, massage or longer water-treatment session. Gift vouchers are available, and the online booking system allows clients to choose a treatment, time and preferred therapist. Mens Body Works also sells hair, skin and body products online, including American Crew hair and scalp care products.
