About Mera Segal
Mara Segal is changing the face of beauty distribution. “Her idea for vending machines that sell beauty and care products (displayed behind her in her head-shot), in both travel and full retail size, came from an altercation with an FAA agent who forced her to throw away a bottle of shampoo. The 31-year-old founder and CEO Mara Segal, prefer purchasing on the go, bypassing traditional stores and the wait time for Amazon shipping, acording to Modern Luxury magazine.
“Segal created a prototype two years ago, and her latest machines have over 50 beauty, fashion, and tech gadgets displayed brightly behind a sleek honeycomb facade. Now the machines are multiplying, with two in San Francisco—where the company is headquartered—and others in various airports nationwide.”
