About

Take 2 Retail, operating as The Beauty Connection, supplies beauty products from a San Carlos base at 8670 Lake Ashmere Dr in San Diego's 92119 ZIP. The product catalog runs across hair-care lines, skincare, cosmetics, styling tools, and personal-care accessories, with online ordering through a Shopify-hosted storefront that ships direct to buyers across the San Diego metro. The Lake Ashmere Drive address places the operation within the residential heart of San Carlos, a suburban pocket bordered by Lake Murray to the west and Cowles Mountain to the north. San Carlos' wellness and fitness infrastructure overlaps with the beauty-product customer base, and the neighborhood's active population supports both the self-care retail channel and fitness anchors such as San Carlos Fitness on Navajo Road. The 92119 corridor's proximity to Cowles Mountain trailhead traffic generates a consumer demographic that skews toward active-lifestyle personal care—sunscreen, post-workout skincare, and hair-repair treatments that address UV and wind exposure. Product sourcing emphasizes brand-name and salon-quality lines at retail pricing, covering flat irons, curling wands, blow-dryers, and heat-protectant sprays alongside the consumable skincare and cosmetics inventory. The residential-address format keeps overhead below traditional storefront levels, passing that structure through to the e-commerce channel where buyers browse by category, brand, or skin type. San Carlos' dining and retail cluster on Lake Murray Blvd includes neighborhood stops such as Sei Sushi, and the same residential density that supports those businesses generates the repeat-purchase base for Take 2 Retail's personal-care catalog. Wheelchair-accessible entry and parking accommodate in-person pickups at the Lake Ashmere Drive location for customers who prefer to avoid shipping wait times.
