Lush Niigata

Amazing products, friendly service

If you've been to any Lush store inside a mall, you've probably smelled the store before you've seen it - they sell all manner of soaps, body washes, shampoos and more in delicious scents. I needed to get some shampoo that suits my fine gaijin hair, and most Japanese shampoos don't really do the trick. The assistant at Lush in Niigata (I didn't catch her name, but she spoke great English!) was super helpful, guiding me through what would be best suited to my hair. When I decided on one of the shampoos she suggested, she even threw in a sample of a conditioner that would pair well with it and suit my hair to see if I liked it. As well as their standard year-round range, they have loads of fun seasonal products. Since Halloween and Christmas are just around the corner here, they had loads of delicious smelling bubble bars and bath bombs to commemorate both occasions.
