When passing by a nail salon, typically all you see are women at first glance. You’ll see them having their nails painted or soaking their feet in the amazing relaxation of a footbath. But sometimes if you take a second look, you’ll see a man in the middle of all the estrogen. And no, he isn’t there waiting on his wife to get her manicure. He’s getting a manicure himself!

It’s not totally uncommon anymore to see this type of thing at nail salons and spas. And contrary to popular belief, it usually has nothing to do with the man’s sexual preference.
