When Beauty Store Business started publishing 14 years ago, beauty stores were, for the most part, beauty supplies. Beauty stores have since morphed into a wide variety of specialty retailers, including ULTA Beauty, Sephora and PureBeauty to name a few successful operations. Included in this select group is the United States’ fastest-growing luxury beauty products apothecary and spa retail chain, bluemercury. Recently, BSB had the opportunity to interview the privately held company’s founder and chief executive officer, Marla Malcolm Beck.
