Shopping in Glasgow: World-famous beauty retailer set to open store at Silverburn this summer

Sephora UK and its signature black and white stripes are set to arrive at Silverburn later this year, giving beauty and skincare enthusiasts the chance to shop popular brands including rhode, Haus Labs and Makeup by Mario.

The exact opening date for the Glasgow store, which will span 5,048 sq ft and be fully stocked with Sephora UK exclusives and selective brands, is set to be announced in the coming months.

David Pierotti, general manager of Silverburn, said: “Sephora coming to Glasgow marks such a big moment for the city and the west of Scotland and we are so pleased to be home to its largest store in the country.

“Our commitment to delivering an award-winning, first-class retail experience for our guests is demonstrated through our diverse offering of leading names across fashion, lifestyle and beauty.

“I know our community in Glasgow will be very excited to see another globally recognised brand join us and we look forward to welcoming them to Sephora’s ‘temple of beauty’ here at Silverburn.”

The store is one of two coming to Scotland this summer, meaning Sephora UK will have stores across the four UK nations. The other Scottish store will open at Edinburgh’s St James Quarter at a date yet to be announced.

The new Scottish stores will offer customers the chance to enjoy personalised beauty consultations as well as gift-wrapping and engraving services. They will also among the first branches to introduce Sephora UK’s Beauty Scan technology, which will see beauty advisors use an advanced lens to analyse clients’ skin and give personalised feedback, product recommendations and shade matching.

Sarah Boyd, managing director of Sephora UK, said: “The Sephora UK team and I are thrilled to finally reveal that we’re bringing our 'temples of beauty' to not one, but two incredible Scottish cities this summer - with fans crying out for a Scottish beauty playground.

“It has been three years since we opened our first UK store; from the very beginning we’ve been searching for the perfect locations for us to open in the region - and we are so happy to have found them in Edinburgh’s St James Quarter and Silverburn Glasgow.

“Opening in both Edinburgh and Glasgow this summer is about bringing double the energy, double the access, and double the magic to a country that has long been calling for it.

“Scotland also steps into a landmark summer, so the timing couldn’t feel more meaningful, and Sephora UK is proud to play a part in a special season that is set to make its mark in the history books.

“We know how eagerly our Scottish customers have waited while we expanded across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and we truly want to say thank you for your patience and loyalty. Now, Scotland, let's get even more bonnie together!"
