Orchid Beauty Lab

Orchid Beauty Lab is a treatment room and retail counter for Korean skincare. Facials are practical; the shelf is edited; the advice is honest about what British weather actually does to skin.

The story

The lab is Asian-inspired rather than Asian-owned: founder Claire Bennett trained in Seoul and built the menu with Korean brands and a Leeds clientele. The classification is displayed as inspired, and verified as such.
