Welcome to Broadway Stages’ Spotlight, where we feature local shops, restaurants, organizations, individuals, and venues that provide good and services to our community. This week we visit Coz Salon in Greenpoint.

Broadway Stages believes in spreading the word about local businesses that are not only the heart and soul of our community, but also have a commitment to giving back. One such local business is Coz Salon. Whether you are looking for a makeover - maybe a new hairstyle and makeup to impart your everyday personal flair or searching for the perfect hair and makeup for your wedding, the team at Coz Salon has got you covered. In addition to finding a menu of styling and coloring services from which to choose, clients can go home with their favorite products, available for purchase at the salon, including environmentally-conscience and cutting-edge brands.

Beyond providing clients with superb hairstyling and makeup services, Coz Salon allows its customers to be part of the life force of the community, as the salon has a primary focus on giving back. Inspired by lessons imparted by her father, Coz Salon Owner Meg Costello understands and is committed to helping others. “He taught me the importance of community, of service, and of giving back,” says Costello. These core beliefs were further strengthened by the mutual community care and support that Costello saw during the pandemic. “I decided to make it a tenet of this business to give back to those in our local community and to the larger communities that we as a collective hold dear.” This commitment to community can be seen in the salon’s Coz Cares initiative that donates 1% of all of salon profits quarterly to charities selected by clients. Also, the salon is instrumental in working with other local businesses to organize the Shop Small Greenpoint retail crawl that Broadway Stages is proud to sponsor.
