IT’S HERE: Sephora Hoboken Store Opens at 319 Washington

Yes, it’s raining again. But this may brighten your day…

The long-awaited Sephora Hoboken store has finally opened its doors!!!

At 3,580 square feet, the intimate format is designed to offer a highly-customized shopping experience and foster personal connections between its store cast members and clients. The second of its kind and the first to open in 2018, the Hoboken location makes its debut TODAY—Friday, April 27th.

Studio clients can expect a carefully-curated product assortment, store beauty advisors with the highest level of Sephora training and certification, and a variety of high-tech digital tools that enhance the client’s experience before, during and after their store visits.

“As we look back at our 20 years in the retail landscape, one thing has remained true for SEPHORA: there is no better way to create meaningful connections with clients than through personalized experiences and a customized approach to beauty. We could not be more focused on that notion than we are with the introduction of our new SEPHORA Studios,” said Mary Beth Laughton, Executive Vice President of U.S. Omni Retail at Sephora. “The Studio merges the best of an inclusive neighborhood retail environment with best-in-class digital tools that enable our expert beauty advisors to customize recommendations on an individual basis. We look forward to bringing the Sephora Studio to more neighborhoods across the US this year including, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and Washington DC.”

The Studio will offer a comprehensive menu of new and classic offerings to meet each client’s unique needs during their visit, including:
