I've never been to this mall but a…read morecolleague told me about this place last year and now I finally have a chance to check this out. During my visit, I get to understand that this is two separate Mall entities connected to a sky bridge. One side of the mall is purely upscale high-end stores and the other end of the mall is upscale stores with medium end stores. This mall was absolutely packed too to the rim! I really enjoyed the diversity of the stores here and in fact this is the first mall where it's 100% occupied. They don't even have small shops in the middle of the mall as well like most malls do. The food selection is actually pretty good too! This mall is really clean and I'm Amazed by how well the bathrooms are as well. Coming here on a weekend is really tough to find parking! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit here this mall is more of a 4.5 star experience but I will say it is one of the best malls I've been to in recent memory.

Victoria did my makeup for both my engagement photos in November and my wedding in July, and she is truly an artist. I do not normally wear much makeup, so I was not sure what I wanted, but she took the reins and made me look flawless, glowing, and completely myself. Luigi worked magic on my hair. I have very thin hair, and he somehow brought my updo vision to life. He did not just copy the inspiration photos I showed him, he created something uniquely perfect for me. Aidan, my coordinator, was amazing. I walked in not knowing where to start, and he guided me through the entire process with warmth and clarity. He even helped me add my sister-in-law to the schedule the day before the wedding so she wouldn't feel left out. He made sure everything ran smoothly and that we had coffee, water, and anything else we needed. Todd's Room made getting ready one of the most joyful, stress-free parts of my wedding day. I am so grateful to the entire team and would recommend them to any bride or bridal party looking for top-tier service and artistry.

Neiman Marcus at the Troy location has the most arrogant, ridiculous and terrible customer service…read more This is my first time shopping at this store because I need a last minute foundation. First of all when you walk in, there is no one working. I can totally understand why now. When you walk in, no one will greet you or ask what they can help because they are too busy chatting with each other. After some struggles, I purchased a foundation that was not the one I wanted originally and the sales told me that I can return it if the color was not matched in 30 days which was clearly stated on my receipt Then, I decided to not want that foundation because of the color mismatch and I had an allergic reaction from the color match in store I sent it in the mail to that store and I waited for 2 weeks for their reponse. They basically ignored me until I call them 2 weeks later to ask about my status of the return. All I got after that was "honey it takes at least a month." so I waited. The next day they called me back and accused me of using a lot of the foundation and how they could not return an used item when I didn't even open it. She said they had a way to check it but the foundation bottle is colored, not transparent. I tried to explain to her about how I didn't want this to begin with and she pressured me to buy it and I had a serious allergic reaction from it. She basically said there was nothing I could do and we couldn't return. I said can I talk to your manager and she said yes she will call me back the next day. Not only they didn't call me back, but they just automatically shipped me back the defect foundation and called it a day I will say I am very disappointed about this kind of inconsiderate customer service from a well-known high ended department store. Please save your piece of mind, DO NOT EVER GO THERE!

I came in looking for a specific winter coat style/color. They have lots on sale - most discounted 50% with some even more. I found 5 different makes of the coat I was in search of. After trying them on, it came down to two. Due to people moving things around and signs not always correct, I looked for a price checking machine. They used to have them throughout the store (I hope they add them back!) but I could not find any in the usual spots so I asked a worker. Instead of telling me where one was, she took me to the empty register and scanned both coats. Both were on an excellent sale so I wanted to try them on again for a direct comparison. When I decided, Olivia helped me at the register. She was quick and helpful. I love my new coat - and thanks to Punxsutawney Phil, I'll have about 6 more weeks to enjoy it.

It's a nicer brand of suit jackets that Macy's carries. Met a worker named Dominique and he was quick to begin understanding what I was looking for and quick to help. He worked with me for about an hour trying on different coats and looking in the back for other sizes. He really put a lot of effort in while managing other customers that came up with similar questions. I was very happy with his service and ultimately bought a jacket that he recommended and helped me get fitted for. We purchased a few more things while we were there on different floors and found what we needed pretty quickly!
