Glasgow Silverburn

Since opening its first store in 2023, Sephora UK’s store openings across the nation have become iconic, community-driven moments rooted in the cultural zeitgeist, filled with entertainment from local and emerging talents, curated queue experiences and delicacies from favourite local culinary hot spots – all of which will be a part of the grand openings for Edinburgh and Glasgow. 

Customers at both stores will be able to enjoy personalised redeemable beauty consultations, gift-wrapping and engraving services, as well as immersive in-store experiences designed to inspire confidence and creativity. 

The new stores will also be among some of the first to introduce Sephora UK’s Beauty Scan technology, which allows Beauty Advisors to use an advanced lens to analyse a client’s skin for a more individualised consultation and personalised product recommendations, including oil and hydration levels and foundation shade matching.
