The Best!!

by rvp808 at Citysearch

I was looking for a reliable, professional and affordable hair stylist for my wedding. I found Cocoro salon accidentally as we were staying at the Hotel on Rivington for our wedding, which is just around the corner. LJ - the salon owner could not be more accommodating, down to earth and really a delight to work with. She colored my hair a few weeks to the big day and styled my sister-in-law's hair the day of the Wedding. She did a great job on both of us. Mako, who is a hair stylist and a make-up artist, who also works at the salon did both my make-up and my hair on my wedding day. I cannot say enough about Mako. We had an inter-faith wedding, which required a change of clothes, different make up and a complete redo of hair style. She went above and beyond for me doing a truly wonderful job with my makeup and hair - TWICE. She came to the site of my wedding and had only 30 minutes to redo both my makeup and hair. She was prompt, efficient and pretty much gave me a makeover in no time in a tiny room with lots of people hustling around frantically. For weeks after the wedding people did not stop commenting on how beautiful I looked. The pictures turned out gorgeous. Mako is a true professional, creative, and knows exactly what you want and what will suite you best. On top of this she is also down to earth and sweet - a combination which in my experience is really difficult to find.

"Artistic Massage from Brian"

by DrK at Citysearch

I had a Swedish massage from Brian. His massage was just amazing. I wish I could know the words to express more than that. I have had so many massages, but never had a massage that I felt art in it.

His massage was sensitive, informative and, more than that, artistic.His stroke was unpredictable and each stroke reminded me I needed the area be worked.

I felt that he could read my mind.

Also, I felt he had three hands. His hand movement was magic and the result was miracle.

I think that fingers could directly express and reflect the mind of the massage therapist. I felt that Brian loves giving massage and is dedicated his times for brushing up his technique. Therefore, I received a great energy as well from Brian.

great highlights at a great price

by vjsnyc at Citysearch

LJ is one of the best haircolorists I've ever been to. She's patient and meticulous, so the highlights look really natural. She's also gentle, which makes the experience a relaxing treat. For all this pampering and time, the price is incredibly low. The salon is a little out-of-the-way for an Upper East Sider, but well worth the trip for the great service.

• Pros: beautiful, natural highlights
• Cons: none
