Appropriately located in Trump Tower, this one-stop beauty palace offers four peaceful floors of five-star services and products. On the ground level, a beauty boutique features Avon cosmetics and bath and body products, which have come a long way since their door-to-door days. One flight up is Eliza’s Eyes @ Avon Salon & Spa, home to the industry expert on eyebrows, Eliza Petrescu. You have to book well in advance to see the brow maven herself, but a session with one of her personally trained “E-ssociates” isn’t a bad option. Further up the tower, Polished @ Avon Salon & Spa offers innovative manicures and pedicures; the Champagne Mani-Pedi pampers the palate with Champagne and chocolate truffles, and treats hands and feet with Champagne-infused products. At the full-service salon, the highlight (no pun intended) is Brad Johns’ Color Studio; a favorite of the celebrity set, Johns outfitted his entire workspace in black and white to focus attention on the color of clients’ hair. And at the quietly luxurious Spa at Avon, facials, massages, and signature body treatments like the Paraffin Body Wrap—not to mention the Relaxation Room (for lounging before and after treatments)—just might make you forget you’re in the belly of Midtown.

Look for seasonal promotions offering complimentary Avon products to take home after your spa or salon appointment.

Eliza's eyes disappoint...

I have never had a worse experience having my brows tweezed as I did at Eliza's Eyes. I was surprised to get an appointment with the ever popular Eliza herself and decided then and there that the ridiculous $100 fee would be worth it because of her reputation. Even before I made an appointment, I grew out my eyebrows so that she would have more of a canvas to work with.Not only was she rude and abrupt, but she only gave me 5 minutes of her time and plucked only a few stray hairs and told me to come back and she would do a better job the next time! Well, I guess the woman has a great PR company because nothing that I had heard about Eliza seemed to be true. I wish I had never gone to Eliza but that experience taught me a great lesson--just because something costs alot, doesn't mean it's any good. My advice to everyone is to save yourself $75 and head over to Robin Evans in Soho!

Great Brows!

I spend a lot of money at Avon to go to Eliza's Eyes. So, naturally, I expect the best. At first I was disillusioned, but I had to go through 2 essociates until I found the one that fit me. Varvarra is the best! I probably shouldn't share it with others because her rate just might go higher, but boy is it worth it!!!! I love my brows. I don't think it's neccesary to pay $100 to see Eliza and from the rest of the comments here she sounds awful.
