Seeing beauty in a new light at Rustan’s Beauty Hall

Rustan's, with a heritage dating back over 70 years, has always been a pioneer in luxury retail. Inspired by founders Gliceria Rustia Tantoco and Bienvenido Tantoco Sr.'s visit to Paris, they embarked on a mission to bring the essence of luxury to the Philippines through Rustan's Department Stores. This legacy of excellence and a reputation for exceptional customer service paved the way for the exclusive presence of renowned brands in its stores, making Rustan's a trusted name in the Filipino market.

Now, Rustan's introduces its newly revitalized Beauty Hall, a testament to the company's commitment to offering nothing less than the best to its patrons. The Beauty Hall is not just a retail space; it's a sanctuary of beauty and elegance, meticulously designed with world-class interiors and retail architecture innovations. It sets a new standard for excellence in the world of luxury beauty.

Moreover, the Beauty Hall serves as a reflection of Rustan's dedication to providing an international standard shopping experience. It's comparable with beauty halls found in key cities across Europe and the United States, offering a world-class haven for luxurious beauty brands.

On Sept. 7, Rustan’s The Beauty Source proudly presented the annual Beauty Addict Event, harmonizing seamlessly with its newly revitalized Beauty Hall.

The Beauty Hall was inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Anton Huang, president of Stores Specialists Inc.; Michael Goh, Shiseido Philippines managing director; Donnie Tantoco, president of Rustan Commercial Corporation; Zenaida R. Tantoco, chairman and CEO of Rustan Commercial Corporation; and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.
