Quick-Service Beauty Bars Supplement Derm Offices as Demand Outpaces Supply — and Caters to a New Consumer
Glowbar is the latest quick-service skin care studio primed for expansion, having recently closed a $10 million investment round. The company joins a number of fast beauty bars and self-care studios poised to scale in the coming years. In the process, they’re taking a range of services out of the dermatologist’s office and into the retail arena, ultimately appealing to a greater number of consumers via quick and affordable “tune-ups.” Think of it as the omnichannel-ization of face services. But thanks to an insatiable, robust demographic vying for these services — comprised of Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and beyond — supply hasn’t outpaced demand, yet.
