    Dior Debut

    Dior picks Dallas’ Highland Park Village for first beauty emporium of its kind

    Holland Murphy

    Texas gets its first Dior Beauty, a wonderland of skincare and cosmetics.

    At only 600 square feet, the new Dior Beauty in Highland Park Village is probably smaller than some master closets in the area. Yet the boutique is proof that good things come in small packages, because in the world of Dior, even a bottle of nail polish remover looks like an objet d’art.

    Luxury lipsticks, skin creams in gold-capped containers, and fragrance bottles line the walls of the petite shop, located just a few doors down from the store that carries the Parisian couture house's designer clothing. At first look, it seems simple enough — it’s all of Dior’s beautifully packaged cosmetics, skincare products, and scents in one space — but then a store clerk shows off the perks of the high-class setup, one of only three in the country — and the first in Texas.

    Many items, says the clerk, aren’t sold at cosmetic counters anywhere else in the city. For example, before the Highland Park boutique opened, Chicago was the closest place Dallasites could go to take a whiff of the dozen perfumes in La Collection Privée, a line crafted by in-house perfumer François Demachy.

    She flips through the settings on a mirrored vanity that emulate different temperatures of light and allow clients to apply makeup according to the occasion, whether it be a sunny outdoor wedding or an important boardroom meeting. Then, she walks behind the back wall of the shop and points out a third vanity. Here, she says, clients who appreciate privacy can put on their faces in peace.

    Walking past the private vanity and around a corner, the clerk opens the door to a room with floor-to-ceiling, white-lacquered cabinets and a single spa bed in the middle. Though a Dior Beauty opened in Las Vegas years ago, the added bonus of a spa room — called a “cabine” in Dior-speak — is a first for Dior in the U.S.

    “It’s soundproof, it has its own sound system, its own cooling system, and a one-of-a-kind spa bed. The bed is $20,000. It vibrates. It heats,” says store manager D’Onna Winn. “This is first-class luxury. You can’t get this anywhere else.”

    Hour-long spa appointments, Winn says, are provided by the boutique’s in-house facialist, an aesthetician with three decades of experience and training under the Parisian headquarters’ top skincare expert. The cabine’s customized facials with shoulder and hand massages are complimentary, though a purchase of three skincare products is required. (Take note: Creams run from $60 all the way up to $420 for a half-ounce of the skin-strengthening L’or De Vie.)

    In fact, all of the “Dior experiences” are complimentary with purchase. Winn says everyone from bridal parties to single ladies prepping for a big night out are welcome to sip Champagne and have their makeup perfected by the boutique’s professional makeup artists.

    See it all for yourself: The shop’s doors are already open and the grand opening soiree is set for January 28.

    Spa Castle Korean bathhouse in Carrollton reopens after renovation

    An Asian spa is about to celebrate a grand reopening: Spa Castle Texas, located in Carrollton at 1020 Raiford Rd., will re-open on January 1, 2026, following a multi-million-dollar renovation.

    Established in 2012 as a retreat combining traditional Korean bathhouse culture with modern resort amenities, the facility closed in late July with a plan to bring refreshed pools, enhanced saunas, modernized locker rooms, and hydrotherapy systems.

    The renovation was designed to elevate performance, reliability, and the guest experience, while staying true to its Korean “jjimjilbang” roots.

    A jjimjilbang is a large, 24-hour Korean public bathhouse and spa featuring gender-segregated wet areas with hot tubs and saunas, plus unisex zones with themed dry saunas like clay and ice rooms. Some also have snack bars, sleeping areas, and entertainment options like TV lounges or PC rooms. In Korea, it functions an affordable destination for families and a cultural hub for relaxation, socializing, and wellness.

    Dallas has not only Spa Castle but also King Spa, a similar facility that opened in 2008 on Royal Lane in Dallas' Koreatown district. There is also a Spa Castle in New York.

    Highlights of Spa Castle's renovation in Dallas include:

    • Re-Engineered Hydrotherapy Experience: Upgrades to indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, and hydrotherapy systems to deliver a more authentic Korean bathhouse experience.
    • Reimagined food and beverage menus featuring traditional Korean street food, barbecue, and beverages.

    A day pass is $65 for adults on weekdays and $80 on weekends; for 17 and under, it's $45.

    Phase II
    The re-opening marks the completion of Phase I of Spa Castle’s renovation.

    Phase II, slated for spring 2026, will include upgrades to the on-site boutique hotel and the expansive 8,000-square-foot banquet and event space, to position Spa Castle as a destination for weddings, corporate retreats, and special events.
