...Beautytap Makes Its First Retail Location Debut At The Prestigious South Coast Plaza, Bringing A Touch Of K-beauty Luxury And Education From Seoul To Souther
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Beautytap, the premier destination for Korean beauty education, advice, content, community, and products, is proud to announce the grand opening of its first, full-fledged retail location at the coveted South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California on September 15, 2018. The Company chose South Coast Plaza for its first location due to the shopping center being among the most prestigious, with a long waiting list to secure a retail site. The celebratory weekend will kick off on September 14th with a private event for press. Then on September 15th and 16th, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony; a speech given by the first Korean American California Republican Assemblywoman and 2018 candidate for U.S. Congress, Young Kim; and an appearance by multi-faceted artist, fashion entrepreneur, and icon Jessica Jung, who will hold a meet & greet and autograph signing for fans to signify her relationship with Beautytap's new store as the second U.S. location to offer the Serein skincare line from her company BLANC & ECLARE.
"Skincare is a passion of mine, and I chose to partner with Beautytap to carry my BLANC & ECLARE Serein Skincare line because they embody K-beauty as an everyday lifestyle," said Jessica Jung, Creative Director and Founder of BLANC & ECLARE. "I believe anyone can have beautiful skin if they put the time and effort into learning what's best for them and use the best possible products. Korean products are some of the most innovative on the market, and Beautytap educates consumers about them so they can take advantage of their benefits."
"We at Beautytap are passionate about introducing a small part of Korean culture to the world through the best K-beauty products," said James Sun, Founder and CEO, Beautytap. "With 90 percent of beauty products still being purchased in physical stores, we know that in order to truly build a relationship with your consumers and community you have to go above and beyond the online experience. This is where the physical element comes in, by allowing customers to come into our store so they can experience and learn about products and interact with our educated staff, in-person. South Coast Plaza, with its annual sales being among the top grossing in the nation and the highest concentration of designer boutiques, was the perfect location for our first retail store."
Beautytap offers premium luxury beauty products, direct from Seoul, and hand selected by their dedicated team of beauty experts who are intimately connected to the latest trends and innovations from the top lines in Korea. By sourcing products with only the finest of ingredients, the Company is committed to their customers experiencing the best results from their skincare. Their vibrant social community and content on their site around K-beauty is intended to complement the in-store experience, bringing education around the products to their customers. The store will additionally welcome any influencers anytime to go to the store, try products, and film for their audience.
"We've created a strong online presence because we empower beauty enthusiasts with real information. We want to carry this from online to offline by arming our staff with knowledge of the products we carry and their ingredients, so they can help people make the best decisions for themselves," said Jude Chao, Director of Marketing, Beautytap. "There's no one magic product that works for everyone. We want our customers to learn about skincare and beauty so that they are empowered to make their own best choices. This is something we bring to the retail experience."
Beautytap's flagship location will now bring to life their K-beauty experts, who will be available at the grand opening event and in-store afterwards for consultation on the most appropriate products for skincare issues to empower people on their journey of self-care to make the best choices for themselves. Product activations will allow attendees to experience the products firsthand and will continue on a monthly basis after the grand opening. The first 50 customers who attend the grand opening will receive scratcher tickets with a chance to win prizes or discounts on products.
