Comings & Goings: Achorn Beauty Bar Opens

Achorn Beauty Bar, 287 Post Road East, has opened next door to the Achorn Pharmacy in Playhouse Square. The space was formerly occupied by Fast Frame, which closed about two years ago. According to Manny Shah (above), a partner with Ajay Desai, the new 1,250-square foot store features body and facial makeovers led by professional makeup artist Jodi Verdererame (above). Verdererame said the store specializes in skin care, body care and features fine fragrance perfumes and the exclusive brand name products by Origins, Smashbox and BareMinerals. Achorn Pharmacy relocated in May 2012 from downtown, where it had been a fixture since 1927. (See WestportNow Feb. 10, 2012)  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
