Saltair is turning its 'Vitamin C Oil-Infused Scrub' into an in-salon treatment with the 'Townhouse x Saltair Luxury Pedicure,' giving pedicure clients a way to try the body-care line during an appointment. The service reworks Townhouse's 'Signature Luxury Pedicure' and integrates the scrub into a treatment built with Saltair body-care products.
It will run for six weeks starting Nov. 3 at 15 Townhouse salons in London and other UK cities. The scrub arrived at Space NK on Oct. 20 in scents such as 'Santal Bloom' and 'Coral Coast,' linking the appointment to the product shoppers can buy later.
Placement in 15 Townhouse salons gives Saltair a service-based route into the UK that its Space NK exclusivity does not, turning a scrub sale into a treatment-led trial. The six-week run also lets Townhouse refresh a core pedicure with a branded collaboration without changing its full menu.
