Beauty giant Sephora to open second Manchester location this summer

Sephora has unveiled details of its second Manchester store which will open its doors later this year.

It follows the success of the brand’s UK’s Northern debut last spring with the opening of its first store outside of London at the Trafford Centre.

Now, Sephora has confirmed it will open another 4,618 sq ft location in the Manchester Arndale this summer, as well as new spots in Liverpool ONE and Sheffield’s Meadowhall Shopping Centre this year.

Sephora Arndale promises to bring an expertly curated selection of local and global brands across the makeup, travel, fragrance, skincare, haircare, grooming and wellness categories.

Beauty enthusiasts can also indulge in exclusive, “Only at Sephora” brands such as Makeup by Mario, Haus Labs by global icon Lady Gaga, and Tarte Cosmetics.

Customers can also receive beauty treatments via Sephora’s in-store beauty services at its ‘Beauty Hub’. Whether you’re looking for a quick-fire touch-up on your office break or want a full makeover ahead of your night out, Sephora’s Beauty Hub will offer an array of bookable services such as makeup application by Sephora Collection, facial skincare services, hair styling, and brows by Benefit Cosmetics.

Sarah Boyd, Managing Director of Sephora UK, says: “Manchester showed us phenomenal support when we opened our first store in the region, which blew away all our expectations. We are thrilled to bring a second beauty playground to our customers in this vibrant and culturally rich city, allowing us to reach even more shoppers with a city centre location at Arndale.

“We already know there is strong appetite from beauty enthusiasts in Manchester as we saw over 2000 eager customers queue on our opening day last year, and we look forward to recreating the same energy at Arndale and to continue providing an unparalleled beauty experience like no other.”
