See all

I came in today to pick up an online order and left really disappointed with the service. When I walked in, there were two associates at the counter and no other customers in line. One of them, Michelle, offered to assist me. She found my order, grabbed the product, and began to finish the pickup process. Since this was an online pickup, I had already paid, she only needed to hand me the product and print the receipt. However, right as she was about to do that, another customer walked up behind me in line. Instead of completing my pickup, she suddenly stopped helping me and switched to assist him, saying he was there first. That made no sense because there was no one waiting when I arrived, and she had already been helping me. To make matters worse, by the time she turned to that customer, the second associate had already started helping someone else , leaving me awkwardly standing off to the side for several minutes over what should've been a 30-second pickup. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. If she was in the middle of something else, she shouldn't have taken my order in the first place. The whole interaction left a bad taste, and I'll be returning my order. read more

So sadly I don't love this store as much as I used to. Saeed was the best and was always beyond helpful and warm. I've been in the store a handful of times since he's left and I feel as though I'm almost intruding. The associates are not exactly helpful and I feel like I'm interrupting them. If I dare ask for a sample of a new product, I'm met with daggers. (I buy a TON of their products so not sure how this is in any way an inconvenience) I think the company as a whole has taken a step back from customer service (used to be a strong point) My status was always at the highest tier due to the amount of product I purchase, but they have a lot of kinks in their online system where I need to contact them to resolve things. Not sure if this is due to the associates in the Manhattan store not counting my purchases or recyclables but its been a pain. I'm out for the Manhattan Beach store, and will try Torrance since Ive had luck with Bonnie there, but might just be time to find another skin care line. read more

Just spent $153.31 on a mask that had a broken seal. I noticed as soon as I got to my car. I reached out to them, and they refused to help me and told me to come back on a different day. I was super excited to use the product. Unacceptable! In the future I'll make certain not to shop at this specific location, since the employees at the Manhattan Beach location, because their employees don't put much effort into customer service/satisfaction. read more

Kiehl's Since 1851 - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

We love Jessy, great costumer service, and he was able to explain to me about the acne skin solution set, also he was able to give me a few samples of facial serums and sunscreens, eye treatment plus toner. I wish we could find more people like Jessy. read more

Horrible service- just left there. Is it so hard to be a little friendly../ I'm switching brand now.

Margo was so helpful and wonderful to talk to. She has been with the company for so long and she really knows her stuff. She made my experience amazing and I truly recommend going to her for any and all your skincare needs! read more

Great products and exceptional service from Saeed at the Manhattan Village store. Extensive product knowledge and he goes above and beyond to help with skin questions and concerns. Service like this is rarely seen these days. read more

Saeed was amazing in treating my skin. I'm definitely going to come back. I highly recommend the butter mask for hydrating the lips.

Every time I come here I regret it. They are pains in the you know what. You can't use your Kiehl's rewards in the store. They just refused to let me use the birthday discount, which shows up on my rewards account, because I didn't have the email. But it's on my kiehl's account! For such a great brand I would not expect such crappy customer service, every time I come to this store. I'll be buying my kiehl's at Sephora from now on read more

One of the best Kiehl's I've visited. Quality customer service and deep knowledge of the products. They are also very helpful in making recommendations and offering samples. read more

Online says open. Get inside door locked. Wait for 10 minutes finally someone come out locks door and leave don't go here

Saeed is the man! I received such a warm welcome. He was knowledgable about the products and he gift wrapped my mothers birthday present so beautifully. Thank you for the excellent customer service Saeed. Give this dude a raise. read more

I struggled with acne as a teenager and overall had unhealthy skin for most of my adult life. In addition to not eating healthy, I put little to no effort in educating myself on skincare. I used to purchase my cleanser and moisturizer at the drugstore, that was until I realized what I had been missing out on. This location is where it all started for me and although there is a new location (Torrance, CA) closer to home, this one is my favorite. Not only does the store look incredible in terms of product placement, but the employees are all exceptional. They are professional and knowledgeable. I don't ever get a pushy/sales vibe from them. On my very first visit, Matthew helped me select products that would work best with my skin type. Since then, I have really stuck to a day/night routine. I feel and can see a huge difference and I get tons of compliments on my skin to which I respond "It's gotta be Kiehl's because I'm getting no sleep with a new baby at home". Some of my favorite products include: +Midnight Recovery Concentrate (lavender oil, so soothing) +Calendula Toner +Super Multi-Corrective Creme with SPF +Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado +Butterstick Lip Treatment .... the list goes on and on. A couple of tips, join their rewards program to earn savings and inquire about their recycling program. read more

Kiehl's Since 1851 - Kat is the best employee here! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

My trip to Kiehl's last night was so fun!! I learned a lot and with the help of Ana I built a whole new skincare routine. She knows each product and it's ingredients (something I care a lot about as someone who wants all non-comedogenic ingredients!). She was patient and helped me figure out the best products for my specific skin type. I felt understood and never judged by her for my skin concerns. I will definitely be back. Thanks Ana!! read more

i usually get this product from like a second hand store or whatever it's called and it's amazing for my boyfriends skin. when we went to the actual store brand with everything, we got so much. definitely recommend this store in particular too, the staff was so sweet and kind, this lady, i wish i got her name, was so kind with my mom and was helping us the whole time, she even gave us a free hand sanitizer cream that leaves your skin smooth ! and before we left she even offered water (: we'll be back when we run out of lotion for sure read more

Wow! Where do I begin, I had such an awful experience with the product. Their stuff literally irritated my skin, to the point where it looked sun burnt. I never expected this to happen so when trying to return the merchandise, I was rejected just like that! The staff were rude and even though she remembered my transaction, she refused to help me because I didn't have the tangible receipt. Lesson learned and never setting foot in this Manhattan Beach Store ! read more

I am strongly in like with Kiehl's! I've been to the flagship store in New York City on multiple occasions, so I was really happy to find that there is one in Manhattan Village. The sales associates are helpful, knowledgeable about the products and are genuinely personable. I can see how it would be awkward recommending beauty products to customers: how do you suggest helpful products without coming across as judgmental? The sales associates here are able to navigate such situations smoothly. Kiehl's has great products, there's no doubt about it. Their Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque is effective and in high demand--it's always sold out online, and I was lucky enough to come to the store on a day when they had some in stock. I also like their face moisturizer-SPF 15 sunscreen and their toning products (you can feel the cooling/firming effects as soon as you put them on!) In general, I like that Kiehl's has plenty of product information on their labels, enough to help differentiate between similar concoctions. Other quick suggestions: 1) Ask for samples if they don't automatically ask you. They have almost every product ready for you to try at home. 2) Sign up for their emailing/points list. They have pretty good deals for people on the list. Whether you're a man, woman, young or old, go to Kiehl's! read more

I have never left a one-star review but there's always a first. Walked into this store early this afternoon intent on making a purchase and was about to ask a question about a shaving product when the clerk abruptly walked away. I guess it was more important to shoot the breeze with her fellow clerk. I used the word clerk because she certainly is not a salesperson. Needless to say I simply walked out. read more

Yay, Kiehl's is finally opened in Manhattan Beach! The store looks exactly the same as all the other stores and the beauty consultants are as friendly and helpful. I wandered in but couldn't remember what I need to stock up on since I forget my shopping list. However, the beauty consultants were able to help me narrow my options and I left the store happy and satisfied. read more

I wish I didn't have to write this review because this store has always been my favorite because of the fantastic employees they have. Margo was amazing! She remembered me even three months after my first visit and really listened to my concerns. She helped me find what I wanted and what my skin needed. Two weeks ago, I went into the store to restock up on the items I had been using. Margo was not there but a short, bald employee approached me saying if I wanted a skin consultation. I knew what I wanted but I thought sure it couldn't hurt. He completely recommended the opposite of what I had been using and it seemed like he already had an agenda. He was really pushy and persistent that I needed those items and completely ignored my dry and sensitive skin concerns. I told him I didn't want anti-aging products and that I was more concerned in keeping my skin healthy and hydrated due to my sensitive skin. He continued to push those items. I'm in my 20s so it seemed weird he recommended those items and it seemed like he was trying to reach his sales goal more than to help me. I bought the items in order to leave but I'll be returning them and contacting costumer service as well. The calendula wash made my skin feel so flaky and the serum for wrinkle reducing burned me. I've never felt so uncomfortable and ignored. I don't think I'll walk into that store if I see he's there. read more

I'm actually not a customer but as I was sitting at one of the tables in the mall I saw one of the women who worked inside run after a couple of women who had just left the store. I overheard the employee say that right after they left she realized the one woman was accidentally charged twice for an item and that she wanted to make sure it was fixed. This was so great to witness. That employee could have easily just said oops, my bad, and let the customer leave. Big props to the honesty and effort made to rectify the mistake! read more

I love Khiel's, it's stays on my top 3 for facial products. This particular location has a very knowledgable staff with a lots of product information. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Kiehl's line of mens products WORK. I have been using their full line of products for a few years now with great success. I start the day with the facial fuel energizing face wash and end it with the oil eliminator. Both of these work extremely well and compliment my sensitive and unfortunate oily skin. To moisturize and stay young and beautiful I use the Facial fuel heavy lifting anti-aging moisturizer. It has a thicker consistency but does not feel greasy or heavy. If you have dry areas that need more attention touch up with the classic facial fuel moisturizer. For body, both the activated sun protection sunscreen and anti perspiring deodorant are effective and again very gentle on sensitive skin. The sunscreen sets quickly and has a very minimal scent. as does the deodorant. The body fuel body wash is a great way to start an end your day, love the smell and the energized feeling it gives off. Some other products to not be forgotten are Kiehl's bar soap and chap stick; eye alert is great after those long nights when your look is not on point. So the products work great, we get it. Why I enjoy going into the store is the smaller more focused experience. This Manhattan Beach location is closest to home. Every time I go in (which is often) I get the attention and knowledge needed to make well informed and pleasant purchase. Take a second to get on the loyalty program, there are easy saving to be found here. Small gestures go really far in my book and the handwritten note I got in the mail was something I never expected, but such a personalized touch. Thanks Matthew! See you guys soon. read more

Kiehls has changed my skin and so grateful for the amazing staff. The store manager put together a skin regiment for me to use every night and every morning. I had been breaking out and now my skin has cleared! Now I'm working with her to get rid of my scars. Couldn't be happier with my results! read more

I think that Kiehl's make some great products--but I have attempted to shop this store 3X and I cannot get someone to help me. The last time--the guy at the counter was busy flirting with the mall security guard and giving him free samples. I would have been happy to wait but an acknowledgement would have been nice. So--off to Sephora I went! read more

I am sorry to say that Matthew at this location sold me the Powerful Strength Eye serum. He was really nice but when I tried a product he recommended I experienced a burning sensation around my delicate eye area. Matthew said it was the concentrated Vitamin C in the product and that this was normal. I trusted the sales person and wanted to try a new product which turned out to be a two day nightmare of hives and two episodes of my entire torso burning. Never had a reaction to cosmetics before or anything else for that matter. I was literally burning from the inside out, almost went to the ER with redness and a full upper body rash with hives running down my leg. Went to CVS and begged the Pharmacist for advice at midnight that kept me from a late ER visit accompanied by a hefty bill. It took me two days to realize that my new Khiels eye serum was the culprit. first ingredient is Propylene Glycol look this nasty chemical up. When I stopped using it.. All my symptoms disappeared like magic. Check the ingredients before you buy. Propylene glycol should be high on your avoidance list. Do not ingest it or place it on your skin. Sometimes it is used in toothpaste also. Manufactures are sneaking this chemical substance into our products. Even if you don't break out like i did... It can cause other problems and you will never be the wiser. Do your research! What an ordeal, because I did not do mine that day in the friendly Khiels store. Also, the label on the product I bought was in spanish...hmm i could not read the ingredients until I went back and found the box it came in? Why is Manhattan Village selling a product with a foreign language on the bottle itself, while the outside box is in English? Aren't these people from New York?? The whole experience was sketchy. Maybe not all their products have propylene glycol amongst many other chemicals, but this one bottle did. And you need to steer clear, trust me. read more
