This location was a favorite place to stop and splurge on my lunch break. However, on 9/16 @2:30-2:45PM I went and I had a wonderful floor employee approach me when I first walked in and she was so helpful, recommended a great eyeliner to me. I moved on to check out some hair products and lowered my mask to smell a cream. I had no one around me so I did not feel it was unsafe. I then had a different floor staff approach me (who was about 20 ft away) demanding that I raise my mask back up. I did as asked and explained I was smelling a product. She just stood there staring at me as I continued to browse. I felt uncomfortable and honestly put the eyeliner back and left the store. As I was walking out, the employee very snotty says “THANK YOU BYE”. If you are unhappy with your job, get a new one. I don’t understand why someone gets off on making people feel shame/uncomfortable. I understand mask protocols but the rude tone and impatient behavior from this employee had me feeling like I’d rather not return back to this store. Put the samples away if customers are not allowed to try them.

Went in and no one greeted me. I walked to the employee who was just staring at me and mot onse did she greet me. I alsed if i could get a shade of foundation. She said she would be back amd never showed up. I then walked over to another employee and she agreed to help me. I opened up credit card and bought 300 worth of products. The cashiers were patient and nice but the floor employee suck!

Very nice and helpful cast. Store is kept clean. Dont be afraid to ask for assistance. Find anything you need here. Get great recommendations. And if they are out of stock on anything, they will go above and beyond to find it for you online or another store. 5 stars!

This use to be my Favorite Spot. Most items I want to purchase is either sold out or picked over. Hopefully this location gets better because it’s convenient for me. It saddens me because I’m getting better service & Fully stocked items at other Sephora’s near By

I dont post customer service reviews often, only if they are very very good or the opposite.. I have been to this store many times. Most times it is okay, I usually just get ignored which I am fine with most of the time. But today I came in to test out a specific perfume so I walked right over to that area. I sprayed one perfume on myself and was about to try a second when a sales associate came from behind me and without excusing themself or any other warning came and grabbed several perfumes (including the one I was about to try out) off the shelf. I told them I was about to test one that they had grabbed but they just walked away and displayed them out in front of another customer. I then walked over and asked to borrow the one I wanted to try and sprayed it on myself. I never received any acknowledgement from the sales associate. I walked right out of that store. Im not sure if I was dressed like someone they didnt expect to spend any money that day or if the person was just socially awkward, but the service left a poor taste in my mouth. I am a big supporter of brick and mortar businesses, but if I am going to spend money on cosmetics in the future, it will most likely not be at this store.

I went to this location just the other day. The people were friendly, my sales advisor was helpful and the cashier was very polite. Sephora is probably the place to go to for all things cosmetic and fragrance. They have plenty of variety and most designers are featured here, the price points at times can be a lot less than other retailers. Since it growth in the early 2000’s, I have gone to Sephora’s maybe three times and the reason being no Cologne Samples are ever given with this retailer. I used to buy fragrances, maybe two or three bottles in one setting and come out spending a lot of money in the process. So every time I would come here and make the attempt to do the same, the sales clerk works say, “We don’t give out Fragrance Samples here!!” This is why I am not a fan of this retailer because of that one glitch. I think if a customers spend the money then why not give them what they ask for because vendors used samples as a selling tool. You want variety and decent service because all three times I have come to Sephora within the lasts 16 years I have always received decent service then this is the place for you. But if you want samples with your purchase than go to the bigger retailers and spend your money there!

Shaundra was very helpful with concealers, very patient, and honest. She took the time to compare different brands especially since I have trouble finding the tones for foundations & concealers by numbers, and when certain shades look alike for my skin tone. She helped me find products that that we’re ranging from $12, $25, and higher. Bought a $14 eyeliner that works well. Looking forward to speaking with her again.

Amazing sephora store. I was in there today and a lovely workers they all helped me with my purchase. I love that they immediately understood the look I like and didnt try to force me into another direction. She completely understood that I want makeup to enhance, not cover up my face. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you so much

Nice store, very clean and well stocked. However, I don’t recommend the hydro facials at this location. The girl doing mine was very sweet, but it was very rushed and I don’t think I even got all of the 4 steps. The 30/45 min facial was more of a 12 min facial. Wasn’t impressed because I like to get a facial every time I shop which is every couple of months.

Staff here is very polite and also very knowledgeable with all things makeup and skin care. I was starting to really break out after these long winter months and one off the employees recommended First Aid Beauty as a more affordable skin care brand. I LOVE IT!

Review №35

I find the sales staff in the fragrance section to be very rude there. One woman will stand right in front of the Jo Malone counter after she sees someone trying to sample a fragrance, as if she doesnt want anyone testing the products. Also, if you ask for a sample of any fragrance (which is totally logical because fragrances smell differently on paper and adjust based on every persons unique body pheromones), they get annoyed and act like you are a mooch (even when you have bought fragrances there before and are a frequent Sephora shopper!)

Decent selection, but this really only services me as a quick Sephora run. I just pick up my normal products and go.

Happy Halloween all of you who made me feel sp special today! So this review is for the very diligent, professional and hard working staff who truly impressed me with their friendliness, genuine helpfulness and dedication and passion for the work they do! Two weeks ago I called every single Sephora requesting a special makeup slot just for HALLOWEEN but sadly every location was solidly booked. I was encouraged to try again just in case there were cancellations and due to our bad weather many customers decided against coming here today so I was able to get a professional, theatrical makeover with the very kind, vivacious and creative Lili today. She definitely knew how to create a beautiful cat look for me and I felt to her it was a LABOR of love because the makeup was do convincing everyone everywhere I went did double takes and complimented me on my cat look. I could have easily blended in with the actors in the play Cats this application was just THAT intriguing and convincing. Being here was the highlight of my day and customers are only required to purchase $50 worth of any products in the store. The location was busy enough today but the entire staff seemed happy to be there and everyone was in a good mood. The only thing that needed a bit of work was the fact that they had run out of their bonus point gifts because this seems to be a smaller store and a high volume of people come through here because its a hub of activity and all the connecting train lines are downstairs. I definitely recommend Lila here for a dramatic look because she really spent a good deal of time with me and she truly wanted me to be completely satisfied.They have wonderful skincare products here and everyone here is about teamwork.

Ask Dee any question from skincare to any type of makeup suggestions and he has you covered even if he seems busy. Katie in skincare is amazingly helpful and such a sweetheart. Today I received a custom make over from a young lady by the name of Claudia & I’ve been getting compliments ALL. NIGHT. She answered all questions and let me pick her brain on products. She was very raw and honest in her opinions on products & has an amazing personality. Despite the heavy traffic these 3 people are certainly “go to” for any needs. Love this location.

I shouldve known prior to my purchase that things were bound to go wrong. Salesperson was short with me, boarding rude when she helped me choose my foundation shade. I trusted her. Why, Idk. $35.+ & 70mi. Later, Im home and the shade was Definitely not even close to my skin tone. Shout out tothe cashier- who was very pleasant. Ill be making the drive to return the foundation but Ill never shop @ this location again.

Above and beyond customer service here. I came to town without a needed facial moisturizer with sunscreen protection. With nothing any good at Walgreens, I stopped in here hoping to find an inexpensive travel size or sample to get me by for a couple of days. After explaining the situation, the store clerk offered to make me a FREE sample of either of a couple of suggested products. This was very helpful as I avoided spending $45. Because I really liked the product (Supergoop), I will be buying it later though. Thanks!

This store offers so many different brands that you you cant not find something you like. the service is also very nice and the people offer samples and the ability to try out numerous things. the products are all of very good value and are priced high but they are worth it. the store itself is very beautiful and has all kinds of different displays that show off all of the different products.

Review №56

Terrible service! For Sephora to be on the expensive end, they need to hire people that provide good customer service! I walked in for all of 30 seconds and this one woman just looked at me. She didnt asked if I needed assistance so I walked to a different area to match my face with foundation. This one woman walked up to the sitting area and didnt acknowledge me. I decided to speak up and asked was anyone available to assist with matching foundation. She asked which kind, I said I didnt know. I said Your makeup looks nice, what do you wear?. She caught an entire attitude saying two different brands. I then asked her were they full coverage? Once again she caught an attitude and said uh no. But let me find someone to help you... Clearly she wasnt doing anything so why couldnt she help since I liked her makeup?!. She told me it would be a 15 minute wait and she walked away. I left and went to Macys. Ill take my money somewhere else!!

Its not just the person that just having a bad day that they rude its every time they it seems people that are in low class or really struggling they only have problems from this person. No i have not complained about not yet. The person treats people different. ITS WRONG. I have wanted to say something to her but she wouldnt like what i say.

Really helpful and fast working staff. It feels like something has changed at this location in the last couple years and they keep getting better and better. They have pulled items from the back because they aren’t on display. Today Rosa helped me find the perfect lipliner in about 30 seconds. They always make sure you know what the current rewards are and have recently become really consistent about giving out deluxe samples and promos at the register if you want them. I just wish they had a Natasha Denona gondola and I miss having Commodity fragrances in the perfume section, but I understand that they don’t have as much space as other Sephora’s.

After earning the VIB card last time I went in I got to go get my makeup done so I chose Valentines Day for my girls night out with friends. I scheduled an appointment for 6pm. I didnt request anyone but I totally lucked out and got Alexis again who helped me with my brows last time. We talked about what I was wearing for the night and the colors I wanted to pop. I told her how I wanted a smokey eye but with pop of the green from my shirt. Also I wanted my cheeks to be contoured. Im definitely not great at contouring. She brought over a great product that I hadnt heard of that had two colors a contouring and a highlighter.Not only did she choose all the right kinds of makeup and make me look beautiful but she was so fun. We chatted the entire time which was like 90 minutes. She was very complimentative and just fun!

Review №84

Worst customer service I have ever received at a Sephora! Every employee in there is condescending and very unhelpful. They all were standing around either talking to each other or ignoring customers. When I asked one employee of the had a certain product he looked down at me and very rudely said that the product “did not exist anymore” and he turned around and walked away. Absolutely no knee was helping any customers, and it was the worst environment I have ever been in while shopping. I felt so patronized and ignored. I will not be going back anytime soon!

2 stars. 1 bc I love sephora, 2. Bc I order online. Everyone here is very welcoming when u first walk in the store, butttttt be prepared to be ignored. They need to hire security bc apparently they have to greet people when they come in and everyone is busy greeting to actually help with products in store u have questions about. Everytime I asked about a product they basically pointed to it but didnt have answers to my questions about product. To have that many employees in store for being downtown chicago it was disappointing that I couldnt find help I needed.
