According to its owner, Marie Bartkova, "ambra" is a fragrance used by the ancient Egyptians to perfume cosmetics. This welcoming day spa provides a full menu of body treatments, nail services and basic chiropractic care to its downtown clientele. Both men and women can opt for single treatments or a daylong pampering session featuring massage, nail care, facial and a catered lunch. Especially popular treatments include waxing (the wax used is good for sensitive skin types) and permanent make-up done by artists brought in from Europe. Conscious of all things au naturel? Ambra also retails vitamins and holistic beauty products. Gift certificates and gift baskets are available too.
