JCPenney said the new experience will emphasize inclusivity, reflecting “customers’ beauty wants and needs, no matter their age, gender, race, skin tone, hair type, beauty regimen or budget.”

Michelle Wlazlo, the retailer’s chief merchandising officer, added in a statement, “Together with our brand partners, we have reimagined every aspect of our beauty experience—from the highly curated assortment and welcoming space to the integrated loyalty program and all new ecommerce experience.”

The concept, which was developed via customer feedback, will initially be rolled out to 10 locations by the middle of October.
