The coming soon sign is up for the next retail tenant at 44 E. First St. … Joli Beauty Bar…
Here's more about Joli via a post at Racked back in the spring:
Joli Beauty Bar [is] a "French cafĂ©"–inspired space for makeup applications and lessons, a retail store for under-the-radar beauty brands, blowouts, "depuffing" treatments, and gel nails — all of which you can elect to get with a glass of wine or specialty cocktail in hand.
You can find the Joli website here.
The previous tenant, the plant store/boutique Green Fingers, moved to Rivington Street earlier in the year. The western storefront was briefly home to the hyped laundro-bar Wash House.
Julius Klein had the eastern storefront for years before he was Cromanated in the spring of 2012.
Depuffed?! I just spent all that money getting puffed! Criminals.
ReplyDeleteGreat Emma, and Roxie can get there toes painted
ReplyDeleteDAMMIT PINHEAD GOT HERE QUICKER WITH THE SAME JOKE
ReplyDeletethis place might be ok if they actually sell weird and quirky brands we can't get at Sephora, and if it's not full of screaming tipsy brides-to-be and their retinues getting spitty germs and lip flakes all over the lipliners..
if it's actually chill, i could totally see getting a drink and a smokey eye with a pal.
The only problem with my Depuffin' 'Da Dickheads list is it never seems to get smaller, and the treatments don't seem to last nearly long enough.
ReplyDelete(And why, when I first read the term depuffing, did my brain zap AUTOmatically to Bloomboig, ALL of the Bush Gang, Trump, Croman et al ? OK, there might have been a couple a Knicks on there too :+)
Thanks for remembering me…
ReplyDeleteDrinking before the drinking. Genius.

ReplyDeleteI owned 44 from March '83 till Feb. 2011. I lived in several units there while renovating. At one point in time, that storefront was my living room. Prior to that, the other (west) storefront was my Gallery. Memories. I made the mistake of selling the building to Crowman, but I didn't sell my memories.
