As the market continues to explode with on-demand beauty services – from blow dry and lash bars to infrared saunas – Skintimate, known as the shave prep category leader for decades, is extending the social act of getting ready (one men have enjoyed at barber shops for years) beyond the bathroom and into a unique and social setting.
"The Shave Bar by Skintimate is largely inspired by our consumer – she's an experience-seeker who makes every moment fun. Shaving is not a mundane chore for her, it's part of the getting ready process that we see her embracing with friends and sharing on social media," said Jennifer Rogers Sheppeard, Skintimate Brand Manager at Edgewell Personal Care. "As the authority in shave prep, Skintimate has created this new beauty concept, inspired by our scented new razor handles and vibrant shave gels, aimed to energize and inspire people to get ready with us. And what better place to open first than New York, a city filled with a diverse range of consumers who represent the Skintimate ethos."
