Alexandra (the owner and esthetician) and her colleague, Kari (the massage therapist) were both so thorough, gentle, and attuned to what my friends and I wanted and needed for our facials and massages. They took such good care of us in a way that I can't put into words. Did I also mention how they closed down their whole shop and provided drinks and snacks for all of us for the day? They really went above and beyond--not only in the services they offered but also their overall hospitality.

I visited Cocoon Day Spa in Rockridge for a model lash lift service and it was a great experience…read more I believe the aesthetician was Susannah and she was training someone new (although I forgot their name unfortunately). The service was thorough and I thought they took their time to make sure my lashes looked nice. I will say I did expect a little more information on the different steps during the service or some aftercare instructions. Regardless, I was happy with my lash lift and the results were better than expected. While I have visited this spa for occasional massages and facials in the past, I'd consider returning for lash services in the future. Customer service was friendly and attentive and the spa is cozy and modern. The check in and check out process was easy and efficient. The location is convenient and easy to find. There is street parking available but this can vary depending on when you go. Alternatively, you can also park on a nearby street and walk over. Overall, a solid spa with plenty of services and spa treatments. Worth visiting if you're nearby.

Beyond her skills and professionalism, she is the sweetest person and a great conversationalist. I miss going to her! (I live in SoCal now). I would absolutely recommend her business.

One sales person was rather pushy, asking me way too many questions from the moment I entered the store. I wanted to look around at everything and take it all in, but she made me want to grab what I came in for and run. She complimented my eyes, then followed up with a sales pitch for an eye product. It was gross. You have to go through an employee to get your products, so I gave her my order only to find that when I got home 2 of the products were completely wrong (I asked for a highlighter but got a blush). Now I have to drive all the way back (about 30 min from home) pay for parking and enter that lion's den again. Not looking forward to it.

Fonnie gave me the breakthrough I have been looking for, for years, doctors and specialist couldn't diagnose me. One time of going to Fonnie and she told me every location I had pain! She understood me without me having to explain myself, it was almost like she had a silent conversation with my body. Just in one session she has helped me in so many ways and I am beyond grateful to have found Fonnie.
