The facial Anne Hathaway swears by
What we say: 30 years of shiatsu training, a background in traditional Chinese beauty remedies, and a career as a professional dancer inform Su-Man's holistic approach. Which is a fancy way of saying Su-Man sneaks in a deep tissue neck, shoulder, arm and foot massage while her customized skincare products do their beautifying business on your face. Her healing touch is surprisingly firm, but as we surrendered to the rhythm of her strokes, we felt relaxation spread through our face, body, and dare we say – heart.
What they say: Su-Man's Signature Facial at the AWAY SPA is a non-evasive alternative to Botox achieved by a combination of shiatsu massage, collagen plumping, cleansing and nourishing that result in a lifted and glowing face. Celebrity devotees include Juliette Binoche,Frieda Pinto, and Anne Hathaway, who has called Su-Man's unique technique “a life-changing experience”.

Great for: Banishing your grey office pallor; tenderizing the knots in your neck and shoulders caused by “laptop hunch” and lugging overstuffed tote bags; revitalizing the will to live. Su-man's Signature Massage is an efficient way to intensely relax if you can't take a week away from your busy life.
Results: The night after the treatment, we drifted off into the deepest sleep in living memory, and awoke with a vibrant, peachy complexion.
Insider tip: Get the most out of Su-Man's wondrous treatment by clearing your schedule for the rest of the day to allow your body and mind to adjust to the new, detangled you. You'll feel too ethereal to leave the sofa, anyway.
