While you won\u2019t see your typical beauty consultant from the department store era, they are offering exceptional service and expertise from their team of Architects that include makeup artists, skin specialists and fragrance consultants, who are on hand to help you as an added support to their self-service approach. Customers can look forward to dedicated areas within the space for all their self-care needs. Browse the extensive collection of products in The Sanctuary, which offers a welcoming space for guests to find and develop their unique skincare routine, book a Dermalogica face mapping\u00e2 session for an accurate skincare analysis or enjoy a treatment in the privacy of The Pod. At the core of the ARC brand is the championing of individuality and self-expression.
