Remember the woman on "Seinfeld" with "man hands"? Face it--if a woman has unattractive hands, it ruins her whole look. If you need to pretty up your hands, check out these Austin manicure salons.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Aziz Salon and Day Spa: Ask for the moisturizing paraffin hand treatment, the collagen manicure or the unusually named "hand facial." You can get just a manicure or a manicure/pedicure combo. They even do manicures for men. Aziz offers other day spa services, including wraps, peels, massage, facials, hair care and laser hair removal. The salon has two locations: downtown and down south.

  2. Step 2

    Bo Salon: Take the fast track to bliss with a sea salt, lavender, rosemary mint or coffee scrub. And you have a choice of aromatherapy or spa manicures--the latter with a mask. Get a massage, a wrap with mud or natural oils, or a sexy new hair style.

  3. Step 3

    Viva Day Spa: Order up the warm cream express manicure or the deluxe spa manicure with warm hand soak and sugar exfoliation. You can also ask for waxing or sugaring hair removal, a body butter wrap, salt or sugar body glow exfoliation, a fat purge or just one of the trademark massages. Viva even provides facials for men.

  4. Step 4

    Joie de Vie Salon and Day Spa: Request some skin brightening, an acne relief treatment, a "back facial," or a multivitamin power peel. You'll smell good enough to eat after the mocha coffee body polish or hot chocolate body wrap. You can get any of several nail care packages, including the strawberry margarita, Peppermint Patty, Orange Dreamsicle, or green tea detoxifying mini-manicure/pedicures. Joie offers you beauty and body care that's tailored to your schedule--whether you can spare a day or only a half-hour.

  5. Step 5

    Avant Salon and Day Spa: Treat yourself to a warm paraffin moisturizing manicure or a manicure/pedicure combo with a Caribbean seaweed masque. This award-winning spa provides such luxurious treatments as botanical skin resurfacing microdermabrasion, sea salt polishes and hydrotherm massage, in addition to waxing, bronzing, wraps, makeup treatments and facials. Avant even hosts regular charity events.
