Supermarket operator Tesco has announced plans to roll out a chain of beauty salons and spas at its stores in the UK.

The concept will be trialled at six locations - Wembley, Cambridge Bar Hill, Milton Keynes Kingston, Manchester (Walkden), Leicester and Chesterfield.

The salons will initially offer facials, nail treatments and hairdressing, but if successful, the supermarket giant hasn't ruled out expanding the services it offers.

Andrew Carpenter, beauty category manager at Tesco, said: "We recognise the beauty market is a huge opportunity and we know there is a lot more we can be offering our customers.

"We know beauty treatments are very popular with many people these days, and we feel the convenience of great value and quality services.

"We are only at the testing stage currently and keen to understand how our customers receive the service in these stores."
