This time around, I came to look for a pair of shoes after browsing FootLocker and not finding anything I wanted. The shoe section was a little messy and didn't have ALL of the sizes...but magically had mine so no harm there. I went to go pay and the cashier by the shoe sedation, Rosemary, was the sweetest and such a gem! Her uplifting attitude brightened up my day. Would highly recommend checking out with her. Plus don't forget to sign up for the rewards program. I got $10 off my purchase just for signing up! read more

I went to have full blond highlights. Root smudge, and cut. Mika was completely incompetent and destroyed my hair. She applies highlights then brown hair dye to roots obviously it washed into my blond highlights she reapplied more same process toned realized she messed up so did a bleach wash to attempt to fix it. My hair turned out so bad that I called out of work the following day out of pure embarrassment! It's so over processed and damaged I'm going to have to spend more money on treatments before I can even pay another stylist to fix my hair. I went back to salon following day to request full refund as I paid 330. They refused insisting another stylist fix it the following day. When I stated my hair can't tolerate more chemicals because of her negligence in over processing she offered a free conditioning.. it's SCARY THAT THE SALON MANAGER IS SO ILL TRAINED AND EDUCATED THAT SHE WOULD ATTEMPT TO CONVINCE ME IT WAS SAFE TO RE HIGHLIGHT MY HAIR 24 hours after it was already super over processed!! No wonder my hair turned out as it did. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO TGE SALON!! Save yourself the money time and humiliation. read more

See all

I like to order from them online, I can pick up products directly from the store or have it shipped to my house. I like their St. John's Bay line in 100% Cotton. I prefer to wear natural fibers. I like their styles and pricing. read more

Had the ABSOLUTE worst experience, waiting in line. My daughter and I were the last ONES who were left in the line after waiting a while. Then, the employee just leaves and left us standing in line, no, "sorry I'm closed" or "I'll be back" or "someone else will come help". NOTHING, just left and I had to get in line for the return items to tell the other lady who was there. Just for the other employee in the return register to completely dismiss my experience. No explanation, no apology. The young cashier who left is a young Asian girl, and the lady at the return register is an older chicana Hispanic. They were working by the shoe department. ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL! read more

Ref: JC Penney Store #494, Merced CA In April 2025 went to JCPenney's and the women's & men's clothing sections were rearranged in a very neat and organized fashion, however May2025 that was not the case. It now resembles a Thrift shop, more so on the women's section. Clothes racks are in the aisles, clothes thrown on the display tables, a lot of clothes just piled up everywhere. Maybe shipment of clothes were sent to this store from other JC Penney stores that closed, but won't be going there much...too junky. Plus the quality of clothes too substandard. read more

I highly recommend the Jcpenny salon. The women that work there are amazing and so helpful! Adriana and Maria were able to help me with great suggestions to fix my hair. read more

This is for JCpenny photo. We recently did our portraits there with Kelsey. Absolutely loved her and how our poses were different from last year's pics. She was fun to talk to and my family had a blast with her. It felt like going to your cousin's bbq. Loved her attitude. Loved how she asked if we had other pose ideas in mind after she already posed us several times. Loved the faces she made when she said...that's not working. We did not walk out of there wondering if someone was making a weird face. Thanks Kelsey! read more

DO NOT COME HERE. I was in the dressing room trying on clothes and some guy was watching me change. I went to go tell the people who worked there and was told they couldn't kick the person out and that I had to call the police if I wanted anything to happen. read more

Change you freaking store hours on here. If y'all close at 7 then say that on site. Don't make people go out of their way for no reason.

I had an awful haircut from another salon and went to JC Penney's in Merced. Maria did an amazing job of coloring and cleaning up my hair. She took great care in combing through the color to assure that all the "shaved hair" was colored. I would go to her again. I appreciated the time and effort she took in making my hair look gorgeous!! read more

Customer service was amazing This girl her name was Keiry she helped me in the children's department when I was looking for something specific for my child. She was very excited to help me out I appreciate her helping me she is one of the very few good workers I've seen there at the store because she approach me to help me and that's what I want to see when I'm entering a store. read more

I was at the shoe department for a good twenty minutes waiting for someone to help me look for the correct shoe size but as you can see in the pictures that department lacks customer service. I went towards the back to see if anyone was there, I can hear laughs in the back of the room but as soon as I said excuse me they stopped and stayed quiet. This is why I'd rather travel to Fresno/Modesto to shop. read more

Do not take your children to the portrait studio in this JCPenny. My daughter and my friends kid got attacked by mosquitoes while they were taking picts. Both ladies in the studio saw the mosquitoes and did nothing about it. After our kids got attacked they proceeded with their next appt that was a 6 month baby. They should have closed the studio and did something about their problem. I got a call from the studio offering me a 15% discount off of our next visit. SERIOUSLY why would I ever go back? Terrible customer service. read more

the quality is terrible..i've purchased two belts with in a year, it appeared that they were stitched that was not the case! they were glued. since then (like the fool i am) i purchased 4 pairs of shorts since late july and all four pair had the buttons disappear after one outing on one pair the the next three pair came off..with my sewing skills i have four pairs of buttonless shorts.. i'm tired of overseas call centers as i've been hung up on because they couldn't understand me. go AMAZON..although they sell pro meth shirts..but that's a story for a different time.. read more

Finally a remodel. Well that been going in for a whole now. Friendly customer service, and finally a Sephoria here in Merced.

Went to the salon today for a perm, the girl I normally use wasn't there so I had Christine, She was very nice but did a poor job on rolling, The perm is so loose even hand curling it wouldn't hold, Paid $60 for a perm that is beauty school at best. Wont go back unless the girl i normally use is there to do it. She always does a excellent job and the curls are tight. read more

Christy Wheeler is so wonderful. I always come away with a great cut and uplifted spirit.

D.j. at Sephora's Brow Bar was absolutely amazing! After telling her of my daughter's sweet 16 she went above and beyond. make my daughter and her friend so happy. Liz at Sephora was also amazing thank you ladies you guys deserve a big raise Friend/client JoAnn read more

Hair Salon Barbara is the only one I can say something nice about. Brought my son in today for a trim. Stylist didn't listen to what I asked for my son began to cry and stylist then said she couldn't finish. She thankfully didn't have us pay. Put a sign up stating that you are unwilling to style children. You get one star because of Barbara. read more

I walked In and was ready for a wait. But they started me off fast enough with deep conditioning and was done with it in 20-30mins. As the gal helping me had another appt. I was ok when she said someone else will do my blow dry. So another dresser started me off but It took this gal an hour and half to just blow dry and she did not even listen to me and turned me away from the mirror so i thought she was curling my hair like I asked but she just straightened it. Yes she told me it was her first day and so I thought she was slow. If u don't even hear to what the customer says. Maybe this is not the job for you. And also she straightened my hair with the blow dry but I had to show her all these spot where I still had waves. The worst way I ever got a blow dry was here. read more

Salon is excellent. I always go to the salon and they do a fantastic job of taking of my needs. Now I look so pretty.

This one is okay. For some reason it seemed more expensive. The last time I went it seemed to have okay prices. Oh well, maybe becuase it was the holiday. read more

I go to Nasrin at JC Penny hair salon. She is the Best! She takes her time to find out what you want and always does a great job. I won't go to anyone else! read more

Waited in line at Sephora for 50 minutes to buy perfume for my wife. Ladies that run the cash register could give a fiddle fart about you and your time. I will never again shop here because your lack of respect of my time. I hope this store goes under. read more

Told Christy Wheeler what I wanted, and boy was I disappointed. She said she had another client that gets a mohawk, his taste is not mine. Told her sides shaved and do not cut the top. Came out awful. She faded the top, destroyed my look. Almost impossible to gel. Will be trying again, but not with her. She didnt deserve the 10 dollar tip. read more

Got two pairs of leggings here the other day, very happy with my purchase, the prices, and the cleanliness and customer service at this store. It's right in the center of the mall, and there is a Sephora inside of the JC Penney's. Check the retailmenot app for coupon deals in store. read more

Excellent customer service. I was greeted & offered help multiple times. An employee actually helped me find exactly what I was looking for which was great!! This location is clean & I love that there is a Sephora inside! read more

Went to get some dress shirts for my husband and this guy Shawn that worked their in the department was so kind n polite he asked if we needed help and cashed us out at the end and was very professional definitely the type of person you need to make a manager. Thank you for the Great service Shawn. read more

HORRIBLE! I went in to look for some shoes for an upcoming wedding and I was rudely told by the lady in the department, " You need to get in line before we help you." when I was just standing there waiting to ask if I could try on a pair of shoes. When I finally got help the lady went and got the shoes. After I gave them back she just took them and left without giving me an opportunity to ask for another size. I also would have expected her to ask if I needed help with anything else. I am very disappointed with how I was treated. I was treated so rudely my boyfriend and I both left and went somewhere else to buy shoes. If I was greeted kindly, and treated with some respect I would have spent my money there. They should try hiring people that actually WANT to work, and be kind. read more

I just wanted to let everybody know this store is uneducated. the employees don't know what they're talking about and nobody knows how to accept a f****** gift card there. read more

Horrible customer service! I had clothes put on hold and I come back 2hrs later and it's gone. Put back in the racks! With this type of customer service I'm not surprised this company is in the process of closing. No matter how much you remodel the stores if you have employees who sucks at customer service people will go somewhere to shop. Wouldn't shop here again! read more

Just got my hair done by Charle G. He did an amazing job. Feel like I walked out of a very upscale salon. Thank you Charlie hope they know what talented stylist they have. Lisa B a very satisfied customer read more

I went here last week for a hair cut and some accent highlights..and they were all rude there by the way they just look at you and it was not a good experience at all I would never go back...and the highlights were horrible and she just left them yellow looking her name was Amy...I would not recommend her to anyone she ruined my hair read more

I was there today trying to return an item and the cashier jasmine told me she will do it as a favor or she is not suppose to return the item. U r not doing anyone a favor the item was purchased 2 days ago and the tags still on it. I hate when cashiers say that act like they're doing you a favor do your job and shut the hell up. Return the item because I change my mind. She should be retrained or let go because I didn't appreciate her attitude. read more
