Kérastase has opened a retail store and its first-ever experiential pop-up store at the cdf Haikou International Duty Free Shopping Complex in Hainan, under the L’Oréal Travel Retail Asia Pacific group.
From October 2022 to April 2023, the Kérastase experiential pop-up store takes customers on an “engaging virtual and on-site pampering journey to discover the iconic Anti-Hairfall, Genesis range,” explains the press release.
This strategic partnership with the China Duty Free Group (CDFG) elevates the customer experience, with engaging touchpoints and activations for brand discovery at both retail and pop-up spaces.
To commemorate the opening of the Genesis Anti-Hairfall Pop Up Store, Kérastase hosted a celebration on February 10. Vin Zhang was the guest of honor at the on-site event. The actor participated in a livestream session, experiencing the entire customer journey at the pop-up store. He shared his hair care routine and interacted with fans through “hair diagnosis” and a fans confession segment.

The Genesis Anti-Hairfall Pop Up store highlights the iconic Genesis Anti-Hairfall Serum and invites customers to discover the range through an innovative augmented reality experience and an on-site pampering session.
Guests can try the Genesis Anti-Hairfall Serum and have a scalp massage using the scalp massaging hairbrush. To further amplify the experience, a Kérastase hair stylist is also available onsite to instantly touch up tresses, and a beauty advisor provides a comprehensive hair diagnosis with Kérascan, Kérastase’s sophisticated hair diagnosis tool.
