That High Pro Glow

Moko Spa Opens

Back in the day, your regimen for looking relaxed, radiant, and blissful was a quick coat of beeswax lip balm and that guy from Time Cycle who made special house calls.

You’ve ditched your hippie ways, but you still dig a natural approach to beauty.

New beauty spot Moko is there for you. Part spa and part apothecary, the airy space is stocked with the finest natural and organic treatments. Owner Monique Mason sells products that use fair trade ingredients and reflect her earth-friendly principles. Our favorite part: The locally made nectar — which incorporates teas, oils, and salves — is used in various facials.

Mason offers advice on color, cut, and scalp treatments; head aesthetician Kelley Hughes and her team do facials, waxing, and makeup application.

So whether it’s little fixes or big bags of herbal goodies, beauty is still a happy quickie.

Moko, 55 North Third Street (215-922-6656).
