Greetings and Happy New Year pros and industry friends!

INDUSTRY NEWS: REVELHAUS COMES TO NASHVILLE

Posted on by

What does a pair of creative, driven and passionate New Yorkers do during a pandemic? Move to Music City and open a new brick-and-mortar beauty retail space. We caught up with partners Bennett Jason and Martin Casanova to learn more about this style-focused destination and what’s next for their brand Revelhaus.

What made you decide to open Revelhaus?
Revelhaus is a culmination of needs and wants. Coming to Nashville from NYC, a primary intention was to own our own business, embracing curation to bring brands not easily found in the Nashville area. Pairing that with Nashville’s only  “theater and performance” store recently closing, we noticed a big entertainment market getting left stranded with nowhere to replenish. We wanted to change that, while introducing today’s most inspired makeup brands in a tangible way.

What is the concept of the store?
Reestablishing destination boutiques with pro education and regionally hard to find brands. Our brands cater to the convenience girl with a 5 minute beauty ritual, lots of multiple products, lots of time management tips and tricks. We also are the destination for Continue reading →
