According to a post on Instagram, the Pure Beauty salon at Ala Moana Center’s Macy’s store in Honolulu will close doors. In Hawaii, Pure Beauty’s website listed six of its Macy’s outposts as of Dec. 29, though it did not clarify if all of the locations will shutter.
The state’s newest closures are the most recent for the salon chains located in some Macy’s stores, which began as early as 2018 when its location in Michigan’s Birchwood Mall closed, according to the Times Herald.
The salon chain also operates in rented spaces in Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and several malls nationwide.
FN reached out to Macy’s and Pure Beauty for comments.
Hawaii’s Pure Beauty closings are part of a larger current phase of companies closing stores to conserve more resources. As previously reported, retailers including Sears Hometown, Big Lots, Jo-Ann Fabrics and Bed, Bath and Beyond will undergo plans to close numerous stores this year, as well.
