Best Product Store. Period.

Miomia is a unique, saavy, gem of a shop. Owner Katie Chang has done an amazing job of hand-picking the highest quality and hardest to find products on the market. Go for Julie Hewitt's sheer lipsticks, french fragrance company Histoires de Parfums and to stock up on staples from Mario Badescu, Malin and Goetz and haircare line, Prawduct. They also carry the brand Menscience whose Microfine Scrub is truly life changing! Other must-haves include gorgeous body care from Kima Terramare, particularly the Olive Soap (tip: this is great for shaving too!) and the Bergamot Sage lotion. I love anything with bergamot and this one smells fresh yet sophisticated. A big part of Miomia's appeal beside its smart selection of independently owned grooming products is its relaxed and non-threatening environment. (No pushy salesgirls here!) Chang knows the industry backwards and forwards and tests everything in the store personally so you're able to get a spot-on recommendation if you need a little guidance. Miomia is also a great place for last minute gifts as they have cute cards, candles and gift certificates available. Go now!
