Beauty store

A beauty store, beauty supply store or cosmetics store is a specialty retailer that sells cosmetics, hair-care products and/or beauty tools.[1]. The term "beauty store" (without "supply") is often associated with large chains that provide a large-format, glamourous shopping experience[2] whereas "beauty supply store" (including "supply") is associated with smaller, independent retailers.[3]

Not to be confused with beauty shop or beauty salon.
