Big fail. Walked into this store hoping to get several products upon receiving expert advice on the…read morebest products. Firstly, walking in - my olfactory sense was attacked by a sewer-like smell. It was hard to manage and I asked the staff if they smelled the same - which they denied smelling such. Meanwhile, my friend was experiencing the same as I was. The staff barely moved an inch and showed zero energy upon our entering the store. Not one other single customer was in the store. I was immediately disappointed and even had to ask for help. Truly ZERO offer to assist!!!! I asked the one young lady (looking quite unkempt) to help select a great day face cream with SPF and an overnight facial moisturizer. She recommended a very random brand without understanding my specific needs. When I asked questions she googled for answers. Yikes!!! You don't even know the products or what you're dealing with. So clearly there is no proper training to guide or sell to a savvy customer ready to spend significant money. Needless to say, I purchased a familiar brand and it will be the last few hundred dollars they'll ever see from me. Their service is a complete failure, the store smelled worse than a public restroom in the hot summer, and zero knowledge demonstrated by the staff. Please provide these folks with proper training and how to present themselves appropriately. If they don't have an interest in the beauty and skincare business- please go work somewhere else where you can find passion and energy.

I like Bluemercury but not this location. I tried to redeem my bday gift here. The staff were not…read moreinterested in helping and said it's not available.

Updated review. Unfortunately, going from 3 stars to 2 is…read moreworth the rating. The best thing about this dispensary is its convenience and their staff (security?) that greets you upon entering the front door. Aside from that, I'd say be very very cautious. They like to hurry you along, no courtesy or respect if you'd prefer to browse or ask questions, and even worse, they do NOT inform you about otherwise "hidden" fees after purchasing products. They don't share anything in advance. You either know already or you'll find out after the fact. Horrible! I'd recommend you use cash only. It's the safest bet! Otherwise, be aware that they do not accept credit cards, only debit. And keep in mind that for using your debit card there will be an additional $3.50 surcharge (and possible a fee from your bank, depending on who you bank with). The Apothecarium's system will process your transaction as an 'unauthorized' atm purchase/withdrawal. There are other dispensaries all around if you're into it, so this is not the only space. If you do go here, proceed with caution and at your own risk. Twice within the past few years was enough for me! That second chance was the last. Tiny parking lot with minimal spaces on the side of the building. It's easy to miss so look closely or you'll bypass it.

This is my go-to Walgreens as it is the closet Walgreens to my house. It's located at the busy…read moreintersection of Maple/Miesel and Morris Ave. There is always plenty of parking when I go. There is good selection in this store and the staff is nice enough. The prices for children's medicine seems steep. What bothers me is in the pharmacy area, there is this big sign that says "Skip the Line", pick up your prescription here or something like that. It's where you look up your prescription on a computer and then pay, on your own. You get a receipt and you have to show the receipt to someone and they get the medicine for you. Problem is, there is no one there to give the receipt to other than the person everyone who didn't use the computer is waiting in line for. Therefore, the skip the line sign is a fallacy.

Among the other Walgreens stores, this one definitely raised the bar. Staff is very friendly and…read morepolite. Restrooms are not locked for the customers. There are convenient chairs to wait for the pharmacy prescription. I do recommend this store to everybody.

I've been to a number of bookstores, and in terms of neatness, organization, and atmosphere, this…read moreone is pretty standard. It's a very lovely space, and the parking is not terrible (there is a lot down the street by the train station). I have visited this bookstore about three times, and each time, I am turned off by the lack of friendliness from the staff. No one has ever greeted me upon entering or said goodbye on the way out. The only time I ever heard someone greet a customer is to tell him to put his drink away. Even though this store is about five minutes from where I live, it is not my go-to.

On top of being well stocked with a varying selection of books, they also have a great selection of activity kits (for children & adults) and other little "doo-dads" (for lack of a better term) that would make for a great addition to a gift for anyone. All of the staff that I encountered during my visit were very kind & helpful. I can't wait to visit again.

This was honestly one of the best experiences I've had with a beauty supply store. I ordered a…read morelarge quantity of hair color (over 50 bottles total) to be shipped across the country, which normally makes me nervous because leakage is so common. My first order arrived perfectly, which already impressed me. But the second, larger shipment completely exceeded my expectations. Every bottle was carefully packed, separated into smaller boxes so nothing would move, and even individually sealed at the caps. I've never seen that level of attention to detail before. On top of that, Chris went out of his way to help me track down a very specific version of the product I needed, even contacting other stores. He was communicative, honest, and genuinely cared about getting it right. He also included extra items and even additional bottles, which was such a thoughtful surprise. It's rare to find this kind of care and integrity in a business. I will definitely be coming back.

The saleswoman/stylist, Jessica D who greeted my friend and me was very courteous and genuinely attentive from the moment we walked in. Her approachwas not solely about making the sale, which ultimately ended up happening primarily due to her politeness and attentiveness. She was extremely knowledgeable, willing to offer helpful suggestions and made the entire experience feel personal. The gift boxing expertise was top tier, and the care and attention to detail throughout our purchase truly stood out from other department stores we'd visited. From start to finish, the service and overall store experience were exceptional. I would definitely shop here again and highly recommend this store to anyone looking for outstanding customer service and a refreshing revisit to what an in-store shopping experience should feel like.
