24-Karat Gold Collagen Treatments Arrive in the Hamptons

Chocolate and wine body wraps among the unique treatments offered at new East Hampton salon.

A new salon that opened in East Hampton this week offers some high-end services unique to even the South Fork, such as the 24-karat gold collagen services, a chocolate body wrap and wine body wrap.

Salon Bar officially opens its doors in Suite 10 at 66 Newtown Lane in East Hampton, near and , on Thursday.

With a chandelier entrance and Swarovski crystals throughout the space, Salon Bar has a list of services you'd expect, like manicures, pedicures, haircuts, make-up application, massages, extensions, eyelash tinting, and even teeth whitening.

Owner Christina Savescu, a cosmetologist who has been in the beauty business for over 20 years, has teamed up with her husband, Dr. Napoleon Savescu, president of the Romanian Medical Society of New York, who will be offering anti-aging procedures, such as Botox, fillers, laser and microdermabrasion, at the salon this summer. This is a permanent location, in which Savescu has a 10-year lease.

Salon Bar has the ability to offer clients one-stop shopping for their beauty needs, but its the salon's signature items, a 24-karat gold collagen mask application and chocolate body wrap, that are really causing a stir.

"The 24 K Gold Facial Collgen Mask is the most effective anti-wrinkle mask made with real 24 karat gold," according to Savescu. The gold removes impurities from the skin, while still being gentle enough for skin. The gold flakes and natural collagen in the face mask penetrate quickly and deeply into the skin to fight free radicals that cause wrinkles and aging. It promises to reduce and prevent wrinkles, while lifting and firming. 

It lasts 75 minutes and costs $255.

An added 24-karat eye treatment, that stimulates the blood flow and oxygen to the eyes to eliminate puffiness and discoloration, costs between $35 and $55. "A serum and masque following the massage revitalizes and protects the skin from premature aging," the salon's information said.

The chocolate wrap indulges your senses while buffing your skin and adding hydration, the salon said. It starts at $175.

Also unique to the Salon Bar is a Wine Wrap treatment, which is supposed to remove dead skin cells, hydrate and help fade age spots. "The luxurious wine wrap body treatment utilizes the powerful exfoliating and antioxidant properties of the grape," the salon said.

"We all have a beauty icon that we idolize so why not let the Salon Bar team of experts bring out the beauty in you," Savescu said.

Unbelievable. So much for majority rule. The board forgets who they work for. They made a mockery ofRead More the democratic process. What they did was nothing different then totalitarian rule. They should be relived of their duty for not representing the people and supporting the majority rule. One can only imagine what other crooked decision making may be taking place that is contrary to the people's wishes. Shame on them! The mayer is a coward who forgets what side his bred is buttered on. The majority got him his job along with the other councilmen and they chose to turn their back on the ones who gave them a job. Bunch of arrogant, out of touch with the people, conceded morons is what they are.

My name is Rich Wilson. I am running for the East Hampton School Board. My agenda is no secret. ItRead More is to increase Scientific Literacy for all of our students in order for them to be better prepared when they enter an increasingly complex and technological world. I have been involved in this initiative for the last 2 years, working with teachers and administrators in all of the school districts in the Town of East Hampton. Cooperatively with a private donor and The GEHEF (Greater East Hampton Education Foundation), we have successfully begun supplying training and complete FOSS (Full Option Science System) materials to our Elementary and Middle School teachers. Using FOSS,The students discover the basic concepts of science through hands-on investigations, the teacher doesn't "cover" them. This is not text book driven, or rote memorization. Writing, reading and math are included with each investigation, resulting in a better understanding of the way the world works. This is being accomplished WITHOUT taxpayer dollars. I am now involved in another joint project to benefit our students that is not funded by taxpayers - the details will be announced soon. I have been involved in Science education for most of my life : Sag Harbor School District (1968 - 1998) - Wrote and delivered the lab component of the K-6 Elementary Science Curriculum . - Started the first Robotics class in 1995. Was the only team from Long Island at the time to compete nationally in the FIRST Competition, (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competition. -Taught a Biology Research class in conjunction with a Biology professor at SUNY Old Westbury. -Co-taught a "Timetables of History" seminar with a High School Social Studies teacher. East Hampton (1986 - 2004) -Owned and operated the "Village Toy Shop and Gifted Generation" , an educational toy store on Main Street, E.H. Amagansett (2003 - 2005) -Owned and operated "ROBOtech" in Amagansett Square, where we taught Lego Mindstorms Robotics to individuals and school groups. I now have the time to devote to the East Hampton School Board and hopefully play a part in the continuing efforts to better the future for all of our students, including my four grandchildren.

well after the town board meeting last night the way i see it is the whole town is affected andRead More everyting and everyweek is some one getting away with out paying , we have familys of teenagers sharing rooms with there parnets and siblngs , cause the cost of living , hmmm but no matter where you go it cost money , teachers have there work cut out for them if they have to spend 50 dollars to buy stuff its there choice , well what it boils down to is the childern parnetns rather drive cars and have nice clothes and fancy jelws than spend 5 or 1o dollars to pay for pens for there kids to go to schoo.also i dont feel the familys see what education really is is a free babysitting service thats my feelings ,
