Injectables at John Lewis means that it has finally gone mainstream
The quintessentially British store has given its seal of approval to injectables. Does this mean we’ll never be knowingly over-treated?
To many British people, John Lewis is a bastion of reliability, often prefixed with the words “good old”, within whose fragrant floors we go about the business of feathering our nests. Le Creuset pots, Easy Care sheets, Arthur Price cutlery, Egyptian Cotton towels – we’ve bought them all in John Lewis. It’s where some of us have had our wedding lists and others have taken our school uniform lists, safe in the knowledge that its stain repellant skirts and scuff-resistant shoes will go the distance.
What we haven’t ever bought at John Lewis, however, is a new face. For while the redoubtable store may sell many things, it has never sold injectables. Until now. In what is surely a sign of the times – though a sign of what, exactly, is more nebulous – the 158-year-old store is set to offer a slew of aesthetic treatments in-store, including high-tech facials, Coolsculpting body treatments and dermal fillers, all administered by the Cavendish Clinic, which has more than a decade’s experience in the field.
