Avon’s first in-person experience opens in Koreatown, Los Angeles
For 135 years Avon’s products have been the leader in beauty among American women. Since its inception in 1886, the company has been offering an opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to earn an income by selling popular beauty products. Now the iconic beauty brand is having an economic breakthrough with its first in-person immersive experience in Koreatown, Los Ángeles with Studio 1886. The studio is a homage to Avon’s enduring existence which has withstood World War I, a deadly pandemic, and the different economic turmoils. Though Avon is known for its door-to-door business model, throughout the years the brand has leveraged its brochure with curated Korean beauty products.
The 19,000 square-foot indoor space features two white-spaced floors for beauty mavens to indulge in and showcase all of Avon’s best-selling collections including ANEW, Skin So Soft, CHI Haircare, The Face Shop, belif, and more. “We are very excited about this new chapter and are proud to create a unique space for our Avon community to connect and celebrate their love of Avon” said Avon CEO Paul Yi. “Studio 1886 will showcase Avon’s growing commitment to bringing customers and Avon Representatives the top trends and innovation in beauty while driving engagement.”
The behemoth cosmetic brand will bring new trends in beauty along with the technology and innovations in skin treatment. Aside from offering in-store merchandise, Studio 1886 seeks to build a network of beauty connoisseurs where they can network and learn all about beauty, wellness, and health. There is a Break and Lounge Area area for the ideal tete-a-tete over beauty news and a space for educators to train consumers on skincare, color, personal care, and more.
