In addition to a traditional product selection, the Rexall beauty studio also carries a number of local picks including those from Canadian cosmetics brand Cargo and Toronto-based skincare company [Bare English & Co](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blo-blow-dry-bar-and-bare-minerals). The drug store's sleek design and branding details contribute to a more experiential shopping trip and change the way consumers perceive its image.
