Road Tested: Cocoon Hair Salon in NYC
Sometimes all you need is the advice of a good friend with exceptional taste. I was planning on surprising my sister with a Christmas present of a gift certificate for highlights and hair cut at a fancy pants salon on the Upper East Side. It was on my list of things to do when I got an email from Bridgette Raes (style guru) mentioning something about her favorite stylist. So, instead of calling my old standby, I decided to try Cocoon. It, too, is on the UES, but Fabian takes only one client at a time so it is the ultimate luxury: a private sitting! He will lavish you with the personal attention you won't get anywhere else -- no need to get shuffled around from the receptionist to the shampoo girl to the color girl and finally to your stylist, only to then be turned over to someone else who will blow out your hair.
Not only did Fabian share in my excitement to give my sister a pampering surprise, but he cleared some time in his calendar for her to get in to see him the very day I called. Let's just say my sister loves, loves, loves her new shiny locks and has found a safe haven to trust her tresses.

Older sisters always know best, right? Well, yes--in the case of Fabian, I am lucky to have just that sister.
A diva in my own right, i am low maintanence when it comes to beauty. Sure I am a product junky, sure i indluge in Chanel, but also love my Drug Store brands.....I also know myself that I won't have the patience to fix my hair everyday.
FABIAN managed to tackle all of that--in one little color haircut. The salon is so approachable, and earthy yet sophisticated and chic. It is one and one in the most comfortable setting. He was honest and informative and made this first timer feel comfortable about cutting off her always long, one length, bottle dyed hair.
He claimed he was cutting my hair so it would be easy to fix, the cut would dictate the style....he was so right. I have fixed my hair to great satisfaction (and no stress) every time.
