LOOKFANTASTIC is bringing its digital beauty authority into the physical world with the opening of a brand-new concept store in Cabot Circus, Bristol – marking a major milestone in the retailer’s evolving omnichannel journey. The opening follows the success of the Altrincham store, close to Manchester.
Opening to the public on 27 February 2026, the 3,000 sq ft space has been designed to blend beauty discovery, expert-led services and community-driven experiences under one roof. Known as the UK’s number one digital beauty destination, LOOKFANTASTIC’s move into Bristol reflects both the city’s creative energy and its strong, engaged online customer base.
A New Way to Discover Beauty IRL
Set in one of the UK’s most vibrant and diverse cities, the Bristol concept store puts experience firmly at the heart of the customer journey. Shoppers can explore a curated edit across skincare, haircare, fragrance, bodycare and cosmetics, featuring some of the most in-demand brands in beauty right now.
Brand partners include Jo Malone, Tom Ford, YSL, Armani, Medik8, Color Wow, Sol de Janeiro and Laneige, with each category presented through considered, storytelling-led edits rather than overwhelming choice. The result is a space that feels intuitive, premium and discovery-focused – encouraging customers to explore confidently while still enjoying the ease of a modern beauty hall.
The Beauty Box: Always Something New
One of the store’s standout features is LOOKFANTASTIC’s innovative Beauty Box concept – a dynamic, ever-changing curation that refreshes monthly. Designed to inspire trial and experimentation, each edit spotlights new brands, cult products and trending launches, ensuring that every visit feels fresh.
By constantly evolving, the Beauty Box encourages repeat visits and positions the store as a destination for what’s next in beauty, not just what’s already known.
Treatments, Activations and Community
The Bristol store will also house a dedicated skin service room, where customers can book treatments delivered by a trained skincare specialist. Alongside this, flexible space has been built in for brand activations, pop-ups and window takeovers, allowing the store to adapt quickly to launches, trends and customer needs.
This modular approach reflects the fast-moving nature of the beauty industry, and reinforces LOOKFANTASTIC’s aim to create a store that evolves alongside its audience.
A Store Designed for Modern Beauty Shoppers
Rather than replicating a traditional beauty hall, the store layout has been carefully considered to reflect how consumers now shop beauty. Brands are clearly defined but flow naturally through the space, guiding customers through each category while encouraging discovery.
Fragrance has been upgraded into its own premium zone, offering a more considered, sensorial way to explore scent. A move that acknowledges fragrance’s growing importance within modern beauty routines.
Putting Discovery and Confidence First
“Our Bristol store is about creating a space that puts discovery and community at the heart of the LOOKFANTASTIC experience,” says Lucy Gorman, Chief Executive Officer, THG Beauty.
“Bristol has a large, diverse population and an engaged online customer base, and it’s a city that values creativity, collaboration and connection. This store allows us to bring our digital expertise into a physical environment that feels intuitive, inclusive and experience-led – where customers can explore, learn and feel confident in the choices they make.”
At its core, the Bristol concept store is about giving customers the freedom to explore, experiment and engage with beauty in a way that feels modern, inclusive and genuinely fun.
