Pick and choose from the services you want, and dramatically reveal your true nature in all its smoothy-silk splendor to the astonishment of friends and ferret-legging rivals.

Cocoon maintains a tranquil, contemporary environment designed to swaddle you during your magnificent transformation. Pamper yourself with a facial, massage, or the mani-pedi that SF Weekly tipped for its Best Of 2009 issue. Sip on the complimentary champagne or herb-infused water as you enjoy one of the following services:

• manicures and pedicures ($22–$55)

• massage ($60–$250)

Experience a Thai massage for the first time since space camp ($120 for 60 minutes). This ancient technique is performed fully clothed on the floor, stretching the body like a yoga session without any actual effort on your part. Wax your way to the most futuristic hairless look with services covering areas ranging from upper lip and chin ($15) to a variety of helpfully illustrated bikini options. Cocoon caters to men as well, with back and chest waxing ($35), express mani-pedis ($15–$20), and couples massages ($220–$310).

Cocoon is committed to the wellness, relaxation, and health of its clients and is open Tuesday through Sunday with evening hours available to accommodate your schedule. The spa also carries a selection of clothing, lingerie, and jewelry from local designers so you can shop between treatments.

Reviews

Crave Party, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Daily Candy have featured Cocoon. SF Weekly singled out Cocoon’s mani-pedi as the best in the Bay for 2009: > * Paired with a cup of herbal tea and a plush blanket, the two-hour treatment includes gentle, loving attention to your tips and toes (without the ooky whirlpool foot bath). An exfoliating hand and foot scrub, meticulous nail and cuticle care, steam, paraffin dips, hydrating foot masks, hot towel wraps, and plenty of leisurely, limb-loosening massage make this treatment a delicacy you’re not apt to find at your typical, factory-style nail spa. – SF Weekly

Citysearchers give Cocoon Urban Day Spa five stars: > * They are very personable and accomodating [sic] and everything is generally set up to provide maximum relaxation. The chair was very comfortable. Despite 45 minutes of doing what they do to your fingers and toes with what appear to be sharp metal instruments, there was no pain as I was lulled into a dreamlike state while reading Esquire and drinking a beer they brought me from the restaurant downstairs. – Paul515 > * I just went here today for a spa mani/pedi and it was fabulous. The spa is very comfortable and unpretentious. The people working there are very friendly and attentive, constantly offering the customers champagne, strawberries or brownies among other things. – ErinCity > * One of my favorite services is the spray tan (yes, I admit it!) They make you look like you actually have a beautiful, bronze tan, as opposed to looking orange (which is usually the case). Great space for showers, bridal parties, bdays! – nwad
