"Hallelujah for Halo" is what hip Chicagoans say about this male spa on the Gold Coast. Men are ushered into a "waiting room" that's really the adult playroom guys wish they had at home. Black leather armchairs, free wi-fi, Nintendo Wii and a barrage of plasmas and LCDs running classic guy flicks and sports are but a few of the distractions. The signature treatment, The Man, combines a haircut, style, scalp massage, hand wax and massage, hot towel and facial toner, cleanup shampoo and a free touch up two weeks down the road, and it runs a mere $44. The Nearly Mile High membership nets this treatment unlimited times for one year at any location for only $700. The guy-centric space clocks in at 3,000 square feet of über-masculinity -- hardwood floors, exposed brick, dark mahoganies and sexy red walls -- only broken up by the torrent of lovely ladies catering to your every whim. Well, mostly.
