A director at Jackeline Beauty Salon – the Hong Kong chain made famous by its “no acne” ads – has bought a HK$152.27 million (US$19.58 million) Ho Man Tin duplex, underscoring renewed appetite for prime homes among the city’s wealthy.
The executive, Huang Yating, took possession of a 25th- and 26th-floor duplex unit in Tower 3 of Phase 2 of the Ultima development on Fat Kwong Street on Tuesday, according to Land Registry records.
Measuring 2,681 sq ft, the duplex has five bedrooms, according to information posted on the website of Midland Realty. The purchase price works out at HK$56,789 per square foot.
Huang did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The salon is jointly run by Huang and co-director Yang Xiao Ling, also known as Jackeline Yang, according to records from the Companies Registry. The business currently lists three locations on its website: one in Kwun Tong and two in Tsuen Wan.
The beauty centre captured public attention when its posters, plastered on minibuses across the city about a decade ago, famously advertised before-and-after pictures of clients who had undergone the salon’s acne treatment.
