Athena's Beauty — lash, nail and beauty bar in the East Village

Athena's Beauty opened on Avenue A during the pandemic as a clean, comfortable, high-end beauty bar. Its mission is simple — quality beauty services at fair prices — across lashes, nails, brows, facials and waxing, all under one East Village roof.

Services

The menu spans lash lifts and extensions; a full nail studio with manicures, pedicures, extensions, chromatic finishes and nail art; brow lamination, tinting and shaping; facials for concerns from acne and extractions to hydration and anti-aging; and waxing, including full-body and Brazilian.

Technology & brands

Waxing is offered with a choice of honey, sugar and cocoa wax to suit different skin types, alongside brow lamination and tinting and a range of facial treatments. Tools and stations are kept clean between guests.

Team & masters

Athena's runs as a small, attentive beauty team across lashes, nails, brows and skin, known for personalized service and close attention to detail rather than a single celebrity name.

The Space

The Avenue A studio is styled as a clean, comfortable, high-end space where beauty meets relaxation — an East Village beauty bar built for an unhurried lash, nail or facial appointment.

Who it's for

For East Village and downtown clients who want lashes, nails, brows or skin in one place, anyone after a facial or a full-body wax, and regulars who value quality at a fair price.
