In a celebration as stylish and soul-filled as the space itself, Coterie Salon and Spa marked its 30th anniversary on Saturday, October 18, with more than 100 guests gathered at its Robbinsville salon to honor three decades of redefining beauty—on their own terms.
The evening was a tribute not only to a business built with intention and grit, but to the community that made it thrive: clients, team members, family, and friends. Guests were treated to curated bites and signature drinks from Arvo Café, vibrant conversation, and personal moments that captured the essence of Coterie’s story.

Founder Angela Pantaleone surprises the crowd with a bold champagne pop—marking the moment with a smile, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of heart. She followed the toast with heartfelt words reflecting on Coterie’s roots, its growth, and the powerful community built over the past 30 years:

Founder Angela Pantaleone surprised the crowd with a bold champagne pop—marking the moment with a smile, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of heart. She followed the toast with heartfelt words reflecting on Coterie’s roots, its growth, and the powerful community built over the past 30 years:
“Thirty years ago, Coterie started in 680 square feet — a vision, a whole lot of hope, hard work, and maybe a little belief in something bigger," Pantaleone told the gathering. "Today, we stand in 5,500 square feet, with over 50 incredible team members and families who bring this dream to life every single day."

Among the honored guests was Karen Wilkin-Donachie, CEO of Collective Beauty Brands, (center), pictured with Dave and Angela Pantaleone.
"Our clients — you are truly the heart of it all. Your belief in us, your loyalty, your trust—every time you’ve sat in our chairs, cheered for us, and became part of our story," she continued. "To every person who believed in me and in my dream, who lifted me up, who helped bring Coterie to life — together, we’ve built something bigger than beauty: a legacy, a community, a family. So here’s to 30 years of passion, purpose, and people — and to the next 30, full of bigger dreams, louder laughter, and always, always fabulous hair.”

Pantaleone poses with Nora Matlin and Linda Feldstein, two beloved clients who have been part of the Coterie story for nearly 20 years. Their presence reflected the heart of the evening—gratitude for the people who’ve helped shape the brand from day one.
Though there were no formal awards or presentations, the clients were the true guests of honor—a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to authentic, lasting relationships.

Local leadership joined in the celebration, including Robbinsville Mayor Dave Fried and his wife Kathryn, seen sharing a moment with owners Angela and Dave Pantaleone.
