Featured in the Monthly... Grace Shocron spent 3 years searching for just the right space for Panache, her new day spa, and finally found it in North Berkeley. "I wanted to create something quiet and elegant to provide higher-end service," she says. "The greatest appeal was that it was in this location." Panache offers haircuts and color, manicures and pedicures, plus facials and waxing. Shocron, a hair stylist for more than 25 years, selected environmentally friendly products, including Eminence, a line of organic skin-care products, and Zoya, a line of nail enamels without toluene, formaldehyde or DBP. The Goldwell hair colors, with anti-oxidants and UV protection, are "pure pigments and very stable," she adds. Asian-inspired decor pays homage to green-minded sensibilities with recycled materials throughout, including Italian floors tile and ceiling decorations.
