Debut: Moko

By Ashley Primis

No wonder Monique Mason, owner of Old City newbie Moko, describes her gleaming, weeks-old shop as “holistic” — many of her services, from the 45-minute scalp therapy treatment ($55) to the Kelley Hughes-performed 90-minute ayurvedic balancing facial ($120), incorporate aromatherapy and massage. But Mason wants to make sure you take that newfound restored, relaxed, balanced and pretty feeling home with you, so she’s dedicated as much of her teensy space to selling top-notch organic and ­natural beauty products — like these soaps from 4mula, a nationally adored, Bella Vista-based, sweet-smelling bath and body line — as she has to those beautifying treatments. That makes this oasis more than just a spa, salon or shop — it’s an instant ­addiction.

55 North 3rd Street, 215-922-MOKO.
