The Quality of Jcpenney Clothes has definitely shot up! Love their Mango and Liz Claiborne section! As well as other brands that are being catered here! Quality is B Customer Service B Price range B I am definitely coming here for more clothes if there's anything I see online before I head out there! There seems to always be a sale or clearance going along. The only thing I recommend this mall doing is to have more lines for their check out area because I feel as if they need more lines for the customers to come to jcpenney for a quick and easy service! I do recommend this place for adults and professionals! read more

Five stars for Rhiannon my amazing hairstylist/colorist. She is very responsive and very flexible to accommodate my schedule. The salon within JCP is very clean and the people are very friendly. I highly recommend Rhiannon! read more

I was really excited to finally see JcPenney beauty in person!! The department is extremely clean and the two beauty advisors working there: Jennah and Alyssa were soo kind. They are really knowledgeable and friendly. They made my shopping experience 10x better. I will definitely be coming back to them. read more

My review is for the JCPenney Salon Manager Frankie. I went in to take my family pictures on Saturday. Upon arrival my son was asleep and he had messed up his hair the way he had fallen asleep. Frankie so graciously and happily helped me by letting me borrow some gel to fix my sons hair. I was so happy he was willing to do that for me because if he had not my sons hair would have looked horrible in the pictures. Thank you so much Frankie for your amazing customer service! You rock! read more

The people here are great, I have nothing against them. They are very helpful. My gripe is against company policies. WARNING!!!! DO NOT BUY ONLINE IF THERE IS A CHANCE YOU MIGHT NEED EXCHANGE OR REFUND. I bought shoes. They were a size too small. Went to store to exchange for bigger size. They didnt have. Asked for store credit. Didnt get it. Got partial refund in my card because they dont refund shipping/handling. So now I owe $4 dollars and have nothing to show for. read more

SEPHORA INSIDE!!! A decent sized one too and REALLY, this is one of the most cleanest biggest Penneys i've set foot into. While my old childhood girlfriends' mom's used to take them to Bloomies, i was stuck at Penneys, but i would hide any purchases in my Wet Seal bag. Now i really don't give a blip about it, i would rather take the savings with their nifty $10 off $25 coupons and use the money to buy candy lives. read more

JC Penney Salon: My sister made an appointment to have her hair trimmed and styled for her wedding day. When she arrived for her appointment she was told that the stylist would be right with her. 15 minutes later she was informed that there was a mix up and that the appointment was never actually recorded in their appointment book. The receptionist then proceeded to tell her that she could stick around if she wanted to see if anything might open up. Like my sister had time to sit there and wait for MAYBE something to open up. There was no genuine attempt to make up for their stupid mistake, which made the situation all the more insulting and infuriating. Un-effing-believable!!! My sister traveled from Holland where she lives with her Dutchy hubby (yes, The Netherlands, Europe, literally halfway around the world!!!) to the states so that our family could all be there for her big day, and this poor excuse for a salon blew her off like she wasn't worth the effort. Never in my life... On the flipside, I was able to book an emergency appointment with Casa de Bellini Salon and Spa on Whittier Blvd. and Valley Home Ave. Desiree took her in RIGHT AWAY and her hair turned out great! We were able to make it to the church on time. read more

Been a customer since 2011 since Ron Johnson from apple came and Remodeled EVERY STORE. That didn't work. Later came in Marvin Ellison from Home Depot. Forgot who took off the coupons for a long time. Now they got some new guy. Let's see what he brings to the stores. They filed for bankruptcy so many times lol please don't close stores. Don't let what happened to Kmart and sears happen to this store. read more

They carry Carter's. Very cute baby outfits but geesh!!! do they need to staff better! Waited on line for literally 10 minutes! Only two cashiers and one of them took forever trying to open a jcpennys card while the other looking up a customer's account info and rescanning all the items she just scanned! They didn't request for more help! I just totally walked out without buying anything! Seriously... Time = $$ ladies. I can get my baby's clothes elsewhere. They also have a Sephora inside but those ladies are super rude! I walked in there planning to buy probably over a hundred dollars worth of merchandise but no greetings no smile! That's fine... No money for you! read more

This JCPenney was very clean and organized. I'll give them that. But their customer service was lacking. I walked by many employees, and none of them smiled at me, greeted me, or even looked at me. (-1 star). Oh, and their baby selection is sooo small. Like... seriously small. There wasn't much choice at all. Plus, they didn't have what I was looking for. Boo. (-1 star). read more

I'm not sure why this JC Penney has such a low rating but this was the cleanest JCP I've ever been to. The staff was super helpful and they had everything we were looking for. read more

Today I was really upset & couldn't believe the customer service I received from a lady named deacon from the return area . Like most of us customers we don't always have our receipts . But the item I wanted to return had all the original tags & all I wanted was to do a exchange for a different size shorts . & most stores allow that . But quickly she just said sorry nothing I can do. ? Like are you serious , you know you can offer me store credit or something . I'm not asking for my money back just a exchange for a different short... anyway I could've been rude to her or made a big deal to her but I decided just to walk to the front of the store & ask another associate to help me , she did in fact say there are different ways she can help & she was able to call the store manager to assist me . Thank you for that & thank you to the nice helpful manager . I didn't get your names but I appreciate your help .. you should have a talk with deacon in the return department to tell her about better customer service she can provide because that was just rude . read more

If I could do no stars I would. I came to enjoy black Friday, and it was a disaster. We were at one door fo 30 minutes until the wanted us to wait another hour to get in the other line. Then when we got in the girl Lauren at the door was refusing to give coupons to my mom and other seniors. It was sad. This store needs major training. I wont be back at all read more

Like all the other ones I been to, decent choices, price is good, seems a bit understaffed, and some employees seem happy but some need to be let go. There's one near the appliances department, a girl, so freaking pushy I almost walked out on her. Not everyone wants to be pushed so go get some more proper sales training and I hope you are not a supervisor there cause you are pretty bad. She is just one person though so overall four stars read more

My sister got my daughter a cross necklace for her first communion and we got it blessed and within a year or so the chain became tangled and broke so I took the necklace to get repaired at jcpenny since my sister got the plan there and was told that I would get a call within 6-10 weeks for the repair, fast forward I had to go back and forth for 3 months talking to associates customer service always getting told I would get a call back and never did. I finally called again after 3 months of trying to get my necklace back to find out they were calling another persons number who wanted a buyout for the necklace and so I lost my necklace my patience and was given nothing as compensation for the hassle I even had to go through to find out what happened to my necklace and on top of that I just get the buy out on a merchandise card. Because I wanted to go back there after everything I went through. Thanks. read more

JCPenny truly is a great spot for quality bedding and linens! They have a variety of items in a range of prices. I found a great selection of single items, blankets, comforters or complete sets! The staff is friendly and helpful. I walked through parts of store but was really there for the linens. I was impressed with the womens clothing and purses kept focus on my task. I would go back to check out the rest of what JCPenny has to offer! ~Steppin' it up~ -great prices on linens and don't forget the coupons! -great service -competitive selection read more

I ordered some shirts from the website. Unfortunately I did order the incorrect size. According to the receipt it said that the exchange would be much faster and easier if I go to a store. The clerk and the 2 other associates made it such a difficult task. They at first took the return and instead of putting the money on a JCPENNEY gift card. They put the money back in my account. Which takes up to 7 days to process. Then wanted me to buy the shirts again. I told them that didn't make sense that they should have put it on a gift card so the money would be available immediately to buy the exchange. I got the same shirts I ordered online but a different size. For some reason on the return, they adjusted the tax to a 2 cent difference to their favor. When they ordered the new size it was 2 cents off and wanted me to pay the difference. After 45 minutes they finally got it correct. Once these new shirts come in....trust me, I will NEVER do business with JCPENNEY AGAIN!!!! By the way, my order came out to such a high price that I got free shipping. They put it in for in store delivery. Now I have to go back and deal with these people again when it could have just went to my house like my original order. read more

I love this location! It is always clean and well stocked. However, it is not designed for the disabled. There is a lot of walking involved and signage isn't very good. So you could walk the whole store before you actually find where you are going. Great if you are trying to get your steps in on your pedometer. I also recommend this location because the staff is very helpful. I've been to several Penney's locations and this one is more superior than all of them. read more

This is situated right into the Whittwood Mall (well that's what it used to be called but I still call it like this) It's right next to Petsmart, Target, Bank of America, and a food court. The building is pretty big, considering that it only has 1 floor. large parking lot and they close late during Christmas time. They do have the usual clothes sections, jewelery, shoes, accessories, bed, bath, kitchen, catalog services, etc. Nothing really special about this particular one, just anyother ordinary Jcpenney. oh and the employees here are nice ^_^ read more

Tried calling to see about a mattress. Was left on hold 10 minutes with the operator who never checked back with me. I guess they don't need any business. read more

GMIT is cleaning her room in preparation for leaving for college, and she found an ancient JC Penney gift card from 2003. I had written the balance in sharpie on the card and GMIT didn't recall having ever gone back to the store to use up the balance. I didn't remember either. That WAS 8 years ago, after all. So GMIT tried using the card at the register, and was told the balance was zero. GMIT persevered and was sent to customer service, where the rep called a central database and discovered a sizable balance still existed on the card. This was a lengthy and convoluted process. The customer service rep could have brushed GMIT off by saying the card had been zeroed out, but she took extra steps to verify whether or not the card had a balance. Customers are definitely appreciated here. One final note: With the gift card, GMIT bought a tiny dress, which is bound to Get Me In Trouble if Mr. P ever sees her in it... read more

If I could give a negative 10 I would. The worst customer service ever on JCPenney.com. I ordered towels 2 months ago have not received them but they have dinged my credit card t plus times. Trying to correct it seems no one can help me. I'm going to get an attorney and let's see if they can figure it out then. I or my family will NEVER shop at JCP again. I will be filing charges against this store. read more

Uhhh its JCP-it's awesome and if you don't think so, you are obviously caught up in trying to be "more"... Love it up.

My husband hates shopping but, once per year, we go to Penney for his work clothes. He can usually find what he needs and we're done. We entered the men's department on Sunday morning and were immediately struck by the overwhelming mess. This was not a sale weekend! What on earth happened? Everywhere we looked, clothes were piled on displays, shoved onto shelves and jammed into racks. One checkout stand was completely stuffed with bags and bags of clothes on the floor and piled high on the counter. The young men working that morning were very nice but, honestly, none of them know how to fold clothes. I was watching them try but they were so slow and inept (and unenthusiastic) they weren't making any headway at all. It was almost comical. The music was TOO LOUD, so loud my husband and I had to raise our voices just to hear each other when standing side-by-side; and the bombardment of Christmas music so early in November made it worse. A clerk was sympathetic but said even the manager has no control over volume; it's a CORPORATE decision. Well, corporate, that's a big mistake. We left in disgust and went to Khol's. Same shopping center, same day. Not my favorite store but--everything was very tidy and organized, we found everything we wanted and the music was at the right volume. Sorry, Penney's. read more

Horrible store, not enough checkouts. Been waiting in 1 line for 45 min and finally moved to another line and now waiting 30 min. They need to have better systems, this is why retail is loosing, who wants to be waiting do long and for few sales. Will not be coming here again read more

Gabriel in men's department is a fine example of great customer service! Helped us with our purchase. Went out of his way to help us. Even got an up-sale with his recommendations. Thanks! Way to go JC Penny! read more

This review is for the Sephora inside JCP. Ugh where so I begin? I walked in to find a replacement for my foundation I had bought previously (at the same location a few months back) anyways I walk in three employees where there with about 2-3 customers. Neither of the workers had asked if anyone needed assistance. Two of them were too busy talking and doing nothing behind the counter. After walking passed them SEVERAL times to see if they would notice I needed assistance & nope they could have cared less. I walked up to an employee i didn't catch her name otherwise her name would be in this but she wore glasses. I politely asked her if she can match me for a foundation immediately she looks bothered took a deep sigh and said w. Attitude "What kind of skin do you have?" I answered nicely and she said again w. A bothersome tone "what brand do you want?!" I said I actually would like a sample because I'm not too sure. And she again w. Attitude said "oh you want samples?! Like how many! I said just about 2 just to compare. She walked away to the smashbox area I follow, she stands there for a few mins and walks away leaving me not says she'll be back. Not a word. I stood there for another 10 mins looking at different items she never came back. When I looked for her she was behind the counter again talking to the same employee from earlier. I just walked out at left. That was so rude. If you want to wait at least 20-30 for someone to acknowledge you and get treated like shit. Go to this sephora. They're horrible. Staying far away from this store. Even though it's down the st. read more

I wanted to start this review off badly because the store looked unclean and the lines were long!!! Brian was picking up comforters and pillows and saw that I put them items down to leave without buying the items, he took me over to his registers and he made up for the lack of customer service I exprienced , we got to talking and found out we both liked the Dodgers and he started pitching me on appliances and I'm not going to lie he was a smooth talker , he talked me into buying a new frigerator and stove . Hire more associates like him and you will gain loyal customers , he also told me he wasn't a supervisor, the way he carried himself proved at least to me he is supervisor material . I'll be back in 3 months for a washer and dryer if he isn't a supervisor I'll be disappointed because I'll only buy appliances from him . read more

i like the new penney!! i get what they are doing. they changed their business model. they have a stores within a store concept. they carry, mango, bisou bisou, etc.. there is a sephora inside too. really think more people should go check it out. for some reason, i prefer stand alone JCPs to the ones at the malls. whitwood is convenient because you can go to von's, petsmart, target, world market, kohl's, bank, post office, 24hr fitness, etc.. =) perfect for getting in and out faster. read more

This review is for Portrait Studio only. Terrible terrible customer service by Tracy. Our appointment was at 1:40-1:50 which means we can arrive between that time. We arrived at 1:50 exact. There was a couple who walked in seconds before us and Tracy was helping another family off to the side. After a couple minutes she helped the people before us and their appointment was at 2 and then we checked in right after. She went back to helping the family in the beginning which now it was 2:20 when she finished with them. She ended up helping the people whos appointment was at 2 and took them to the back. We asked why they were going if our appointment was before. She then went on and on talking loudly that since we got there "late" that she had taken a walk in at 1:45 her 2 o'clock got there first and if we were on time she would have taken us. Her demeanor was so rude and she had so much attitude. She also loved to talk because it was so hard for me to get a word in. I told her that we have kids here waiting and ours was first and my kids were already getting antsy. She went back to helping the couple. I went out and looked for a manager but I knew they were different departments, I was still upset and wanted to address it. The store manager came and Tracy left to the back room because she was upset. Ivonne the manager was soo nice. There was nothing really she could which I understood from the beginning like i said I wanted the issue addressed. But seriously if you have an appointment your waiting on in a window of 10 minutes you don't take a walk-in in the middle of it. And also if I make it on time you dont take the next person without telling us. If she would have said ill only be a few minutes or used some customer service this could have been different. In the end we had to drive all the way to Brea to take pictures. read more

It's clear why they are going out of business just like Sears. They don't realize the ONLY chance they have against Amazon & online is human capital. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE is the only thing that will save them. This location FAILS miserably in this area - they are out of business & just haven't closed their doors yet. read more

The portrait studio is the WORSE!!! Never going back. I had an appointment and sat there for three hours. Don't understand why they set up appointments if you have to wait for hours. read more

This JC Penney has sales on everything and great deals for house hold items. cheaper than any other JC Penney Ive been to in OC or LA county, you must come here for the what I call "The welfare rack" great bath and bedroom sets for a fraction of the original price. read more

Awful customer service! There is a painful lack of organization in the store and misleading prices on just about everything. I got to the counter and found out something marked as half off was no longer that way. 1 star for your awful service and poor record keeping of items bought at the store. read more

The JCP is very small compare to the Arcadia and lakewood location. Employee are rude af. I was trying to ask one of the employee for some general question and she FUKING just walk pass!! Wtf seriously?! I will never shop at this particular location again. read more

We tried to buy refrigerator from this JCPenney's I tried to write a check and she said that they couldn't accept a check my friend went home and got his checkbook came back to the store and he tried to write a check and they refused his check also so my friend went to the bank and got cash and they refused cash she had to buy gift cards and pay for the refrigerator and then when they were going to deliver the refrigerator they said that the refrigerator wasn't paid for so they cancelled the delivery they said they would send her a check and now they're saying that they won't this whole thing is a mess don't buy from JCPenney's. So here we sit with no refrigerator and no cash read more

Photo department customer services was awful, sent my mom and sister in law to take pics with baby on Monday, and workers proceeded to mutter under their breath, thinking they did not speak English, then had them wait three hours even though they had a 6pm appointment, it was not until the manager came in that they received proper customer service. The correct appointment was found, but at this point my family had been waiting for way too long, while being treated unfairly. What is up with that!! My mom is respectful and patient, but this is too much, ALL people should be treated with dignity. read more

Like this location. Its a stand alone so its not attached to a mall. They have great deals and lots of good items at great prices. They have a salon, optical and portrait studio inside. I also think they sell appliances and mattresses. read more

This review is for salon. So I walk in and there is no one at the front desk. I wait for a few minutes and then walk to the salon area...where I see two women sitting at 2 stations. 1 was eating (gross) and the other was I dunno... Filing her nails. I ask if I could get a trim and apparently.... They didn't have the time... Mind you place was EMPTY! I guess it's just as well. I don't want to get my hair cut at a station where someone is having their lunch. I thought that's what break rooms were for..... read more

So disappointed with the customer service here. Not that I really expect much, but twice I have encountered the most ungrateful customer service rep in retail history. That's YOU JOSH, in the men's department.... I can hear your snarky ass comments of "ugh I'm NOT helping them"... Now I know why you aren't wearing a name tag! If you hate your job so much, just quit, the patrons of Whittier would celebrate. JCP is degrading their image by hiring idiots like this. read more
