It's no exaggeration to say that Sava's services can transform skin. Their secret: Czech's thorough--and incredibly pampering--technique, plus the New York exclusive on products from French line Nuxe and California-based Protective Nourishment. Unique, targeted facials brighten, tone and nourish skin; luxurious body treatments firm, soften and leave clients melting on the table. Massage, waxing, manicures and pedicures are also available.
