Canada’s Shoppers Drug Mart announced that it will be opening a new pilot store — Beauty Clinic by Shoppers Drug Mart — that will be dedicated to cosmetic and dermatology services.
"Our customers expect us to offer the latest beauty products and services to meet their needs," Rachel Huckle, senior vice president of Shoppers Drug Mart, said. "With our expertise in both the health and beauty business, offering cosmetic treatments feels like a natural step for us. At the Beauty Clinic, customers can go beyond the beauty counter to a truly holistic luxury beauty experience."
The location, which is set to be overseen by experienced nurse practitioners, will provide consumers with one-on-one consultations and such select services and treatments as cosmetic injections, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, peels and a variety of laser services.
"Our research shows these types of cosmetic procedures are second only to manicures and pedicures," Huckle said. "But it's important that treatments are done by trusted professionals. Shoppers Drug Mart is currently the leading destination for beauty and skincare products and our customers trust in the quality of our products and services. We know our customers and can provide a safe, high-quality experience for them."
The first location is open to the public at the Shops on Dundas location, and a second is to open in Toronto at the Shops at Don Mills in 2019.
