UK retail giant John Lewis is investing £9m in its beauty halls. Ed Connolly, buying director for fashion and beauty at John Lewis, said: "Beauty is one of the best performing categories at John Lewis and a significant footfall driver, so this investment is a reflection of our ambition in this space. "We are continuing to bring new and contemporary brands to our customers across both fashion and beauty, and we have one of the widest and best beauty selections of any department store in the world." The investment follows the opening of John Lewis's own Hair & Beauty spa in its Birmingham store, and the Clarins Beauty Bar at John Lewis flagship London Oxford Street store last year.
