Skoah To Open Second Boston Location on Newbury Street

Triple “Best Facial” Winner Will Bring its Unique Skin Care Approach to the Back Bay

BOSTON (March 25, 2013):  Pete Dziedzic and Jay Judas are thrilled to announce the opening skoah's second Boston location on Newbury Street.   skoah, a widely-popular Vancouver-based skincare brand that emphasizes personal training for your skin, is slated to open this May at 35 Newbury Street on the 2^nd floor. 

The new Back Bay location is a product of the huge success of skoah’s first Boston location in the South End.   In the past year alone, skoah has been awarded “Best Facial” in Boston from Boston Magazine, InStyle and Allure Magazine.  The new location will offer the same sweet skin facials as the South End spatique as well as carrying the full line of skoah’s simply powerful skin care product line.   

“Newbury Street remains one of the country’s pre-eminent and unique retail destinations.  This new location will expose a new audience in the Back Bay and Beacon Hill, as well as the numerous visitors who shop and peruse the street, to skoah’s unique brand of personal training for your skin.” – Peter Dziedzic, co-owner P.J. Scooter, LLC

Guests will have access to skin care trainers who will provide customized facials (dubbed "skin care workouts") and skin care plans intended to generate lasting results and train customers to better skin.  The expansive retail area will sell skoah products, which combine the best of nature with modern science by featuring high-performance active ingredients mixed with dynamic plant-based ingredients to ensure maximum results.  skoah’s makeup line, chiiki munki, will also be available in the new spatique.

The 1,000 square foot space, designed by id8 Design Studio, will evoke the same chic Canadian cabin feel as the South End location (which won a Boston Society of Architects award for its design).  The spatique will include two treatment rooms for facials as well as a chiiki munki brow bar.  Everything about the space, from the layout and the materials used to the lighting and the music, is designed to maximize the guest’s experience.
