I just had my makeup done at Charlotte Tilbury with Dani! I'm absolutely happy about my whole experience! Dani was so sweet in making sure I was satisfied with colors she picked and also making sure I was pleased about her makeup application. Whenever she suggested something 'out of my box' I let her do her thing (that's what I was there for, right?) and I was not disappointed! In the end she gave me a chart of all the different products she used on me. I wished I could've bought everything! I did get a couple things but will be returning next month for a makeup event with them and hopefully purchase more! If you stop by Charlotte Tilbury at Nordstrom's be sure to check if Dani's working! She has a lot of knowledge about the products and You won't be disappointed! read more

I love Nordstroms! They have the best policy towards customers hands down. I bought a pair of shoes for my girl at $79.99 which is quite expensive for a 2 year old. I bought it for the next season because it was on sale so it sat in the closet for close to 10 months. She wore it for about a week. It really did not fit her right as one of her foot is slightly pigeon toed. She ended up with blisters. I called nordstroms and they said to come back..They took it back without any questions and we exchanged it for another pair-cheaper and a refund in a gift card. My husband also came here and bought two pairs of sandals. One of them they did not have in his size so the sales clerk ordered it and shipped it DHL for free---we got it in 3 days! Love the service here! read more

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm an avid Nordstrom shopper. I especially go for certain goods like handbags, shoes and accessories. This review is particularly for the upcoming Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beginning July 17 - August 2, 2009. I've already pre-selected my items even before the pre-sale for Nordstrom Visa/Rewards Members. Unfortunately not all items were on display when I was there, but it's ok because I'll be able to peruse through again when I pick up my pre-selected items before the July 17th Anniversary Sale. I think I've spent well over $2K but I'm getting a % back in the form of Nordy Notes! Remember Mervyns' *open open open* tv commercials? For those who aren't Nordstrom cardholders, ENJOY the early morning wait for the 7:00 a.m. kick-off on the July 17th opening day! It's gonna be INSANE!!! read more

Best customer service EVER!! If I want something and they don't have it... they will call another store that has it... and ship it to my house... for free... Love them... They wrote the book on Customer Service... Literally... Check out "The Nordstrom Way to Customer Service Excellence" read more

I don't shop here much. Hardly ever. And there's a reason! I can find cheaper alternatives at dozens of other retailers. SURPRISINGLY this Nordstrom has never had a significance in my experiences where I can say I was truly pleased. The only thing I really like is the fashion creativity and the various choices they have of products. Lots to browse! The customer service has never stood out. Some days they're nice and others they don't even greet you even when they see you. No ones really helped me out in the way their company believes in and I don't know and understand why!! Reasons why I always come out empty handed. STORY TIME: I came in to browse and found a beautiful top with ruffles on the sleeve. The size that fit me had overwhelming/puffy sleeves and then I remembered they offer alterations. Not that I had ever inquired about it. The lady came to look at the top and automatically told me it couldn't be done. She said it would change the style of the top. I'm no seamstress but I pinched the fabric myself where I wanted it to be stitched and it in NO way changed the appearance. It just made it more subtle. And I suppose I could've done it at home and very well could have but it was an easy fix that the store offers to handle! So I passed. Could've made a sale but I guess they have too much money to care. This really makes up my mind about this store now and if I ever shop here again I KNOW NOT TO DEPEND ON ANYONE FOR HELP. read more

I love Nicole, my salesperson at the Chanel counter at Nordstrom. I followed her from the Americana Nordstrom to Santa Anita. This store is terrific. Love the shoe department. I've also bought evening wear here. Highly recommend. BTW did you know that Nordstroms will split a pair of shoes? My mom had polio and her feet were 3 sizes different. I think the difference must be 2 sizes. Anyway, they charge for one pair of shoes. No one else that I know of does this. read more

I was in hurry and needed assistance fast with my purchase Linda was the best and helped me and my friend with our shopping

Thank you Victoria in Intimates. I had heard that Nordstroms had the best customer service in intimates and thought I'd give them a try. I was shopping for bras and Victoria was the one to help me. She took the time to make sure I had the right fit, and comfort. She also found very attractive styles that I normally wouldn't even attempt to try. I ended up buying 3 bras off the rack for myself, 3 for my daughter and 2 that Victoria ordered from the warehouse stock to be shipped to my home. I have never been so happy buying bras until now. Thank you Victoria. read more

Disclaimer: I love, love, love Nordstroms. And I still will. Where else can I find size 4.5 shoes and a decent petite section for my petite frame? Nordstroms, of course! I've been a loyal customer, as I'm in need of business casual clothing that fit. But this location, meh. I used to be a regular at this Nordstroms, whether it was to browse for clothing, shoes, bags, and jewelry. About 3-4 years ago, I encountered excellent customer service at the jewelry counters with one of the sales associates. But since then, after numerous visits...customer service has definitely gone downhill. Like any other business, you would expect decent, respectful service to all customers who come out to visit and browse through merchandise. But at this particular location, it seems like you either have to flag down someone to help you, or you must appear like you're going to make a purchase (e.g. have a pile of merchandise in your hands). And the selective service to certain customers...I especially do not appreciate that. I encountered this at the jewelry counter this past 2 weeks, with full intention to purchase a necklace for myself. The sales associate appeared enthusiastic with other customers but very curt and had an attitude of "you probably can't afford that." Similar encounter with the clothing area on the second floor, except the sales associates blatantly ignored me while addressing the other customers. And the sales floor was not even busy. I may look young, but I obviously would not be shopping here if I couldn't afford the merchandise. Nonetheless, associates need to treat everyone who walks in, regardless of making a purchase or not, with respect and courtesy. These are just a few things I can think of. But every time I walk in here in the past few years, I definitely do not feel welcomed. Rather, I have a feelings of uneasiness and disappointment that the service has declined in quality. Hence the 3 stars. Bottom line: I am still going to shop at Nordstroms online...for now. But my search begins for other businesses where customer service is seen as a number one priority. read more

Irene is a great employee for Nordstrom. She helped me to find a gift for my mother. And she went out of her way and got a permission to sell me at lowest sales price. Irene you rock!!! read more

Nordstrom Santa Anita - Great price - Department Stores Near Me - Arcadia, California

The selection at this Nordstrom is pretty good. I'd have to say they carry everything that I buy and they're almost never out of what I need. Its very clean store and well organized as with most Nordstroms. The only downside I'd have to say about this place is that the customer service isn't as good as others. I went in for the Anniversary Sale. I'm used to people asking me if I needed help or offering me assistance while I browse. Here I was not approached. Several associates walked past me, made eye contact and kept walking. I needed help finding some shorts but I didn't want to bother anyone as they looked like they did not want to be bothered. I ended up finding what I needed, but as a level 2 cardholder, I go shopping a lot. I just probably will have to find another Nordstrom to shop at. read more

I'm a couple weeks late with this review, sorry about that. This review is for the Women's Shoe Department. I went in to try on a pair of Hunter boots to make sure I was ordering the right size when I ordered them online (they were no longer available in-store). For shits & giggles, I decided to see if a customer service rep could order them online for me. Majid not only took the time to find that there were 5 pairs left in my size/color at any Nordstrom's in the country, but he then called multiple store to make sure they had them IN-HAND before he placed the order. Since they are last season's boots, the rubber had started to oxidize (we were told on the phone) so Majid said that once I got the boots, I should bring them in and he'll shine them up and make them look like new. The next day, I got a sad message from Majid. There was some confusion at the store from which the boots were ordered and they denied the request. So, he called them back, got it squared away, but then needed my CC info again. He totally got it handled. I received my boots a few days later and called Majid to make sure he was in to clean them up. He was about to leave, so he told Jenny my plight and she was there, expecting me. She shined them up, they look GORGEOUS, and once again, Nordstrom's has some of the best customer service I've ever encountered. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

I discovered their WIFI so no more complaints! Always a pleasure to shop here. Hoorah for double point days!

Nothing compares to Nordstrom. It is BOMB. Examples: -Nordstrom Rewards! Being that I do the majority of my shopping there, I manage to spend (at least) $2000 a year. That means, I get free shipping (I could pretty much order a $10 lip gloss and get free shipping. But, I wouldn't do that. It's not green). I also get invited to private shopping events where I get first dibs on new stuff that is on SUPER sale. -L.A.M.B., Kate Spade, BP (everything and anything in that section. Inexpensive and cute)- to name a few. -This department store has all the sass of a high-end retailer without the snob factor. And, if anyone is mean, COMPLAIN. It works. They are 100% about customer service and stand behind their name at all times. Okay, gotta run. Time to check out the handbag sale bin. ; ) read more

Shout-out to Frankie in the Order Pickup section. We got there right when they opened. He was so friendly and professional. We had to wait for alteration and he offered to bring us water while we waited. I saw him deal with other customers and he was very respectful. I was surprised when I found out that it was his first time opening, he looked like he's been doing it a while. When I opened a credit card, he made the process smooth and straightforward. Thanks Frankie! read more

I'm not too fond of this Nordstrom in general but I'm a fan of Ani at the La Mer counter! She's super nice and knowledgeable! Not only will she help you out with La Mer, but she will genuinely recommend other great products for your need. Thank you Ani! read more

I love nordstrom !! Whenever I come to the Santa Anita mall, Nordstrom is the place I always go to. Why? Because Nordstrom is a lot more fancy, classy, and has better quality stuff to buy. If you're looking for a great birthday or Christmas gift to get someone, Nordstrom is the best place to go to. Its more expensive than the other department stores like Macy's and JC Penny, but it just looks better when you buy stuff from Nordstrom. I suggest you shop at Nordstrom online because they have A LOT more stuff to choose from. You can always have them deliver it to your nearest Nordstrom and you can pick it up from there. The best thing about Nordstrom online is that it's free shipping and free returns! So you never have to stress about wasting money on that. This Nordstrom has a lot of clothes, accessories, makeup, shoes, purses etc for both men and women. I suggest you guys sign up for Nordstrom reward points because on certain days if you use your Nordstrom credit card, you get double and triple points! The main reason why I love Nordstrom is because they allow dogs!!!! I've brought my little yorkie and corgi in here before and everyone loved them. They welcome dogs with open arms just as much as people. read more

Wanted to buy some clothes that were on the anniversary sale and they force you to get a Nordstrom card before you can purchase the items. What!? What kind of nonsense is that? They literally forced me to get a Nordstrom card by having me fill out the membership application and submit information from my drivers license. They had me wait at the register while they call the application processing center to get approval for a card. I don't need a Nordstrom card. I just want to get in, purchase the items upfront with no questions asked, and get out. Customers' time are very important. Don't waste their time by having them stick around for something they don't need. Worst customer service from a department store ever. I have never been required to get a membership card before purchasing items ever at a department store. I give you the cash or my credit card, you get the easy revenue, and I am out of there with my items. But no, they made it become an extreme hassle by having me stick around for this unnecessary nonsense. I won't be returning to a Nordstrom again. There are plenty of good stores out there that don't do things like this to a customer that has upfront money. Most of Nordstrom's clothing are made in China anyway. read more

This location is nice! I was in the area so I decided to stop by the local Nordstrom at Santa Anita & was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted on the way in and stopped first at the kids shoes section. The man was very friendly and initiated conversation. It's nice to see a sales person talk about something other than trying to make a sale. Then I went up to BP clothes & the sales associate was very helpful there as well. Her name was Emily. She opened the fitting room door for me & admired one of the shirts I brought in. Unfortunately nothing worked for me but she was lovely. Lastly I went to the women's Topshop area, where I believe her name was Amanda helped me. She was very busy being the only one in the dept but she explained to me that she didn't mind & enjoyed it since sometimes the store can be dead at times. Overall my trip here was great. Very friendly staff & nice product. One star off because I was so confused with their layout. It's so different from the other stores south of this one. I had to go up the elevator and back down to realize that the kids shoes was on the first level. read more

Great Store with Great Staff! great cosmetic department, they are very professional and product saavy!

Bad customer service, I was shopping at the Clarins counter I wanted to pick up the Double Serum set. Unfortunately the person behind the counter was too busy texting, laughing ignoring customers we stood infront of the counter for a while being ignored , therefore we left without purchasing the item I wanted very DISAPPOINTING. what happened to Nordstrom top quality customer service Santa Anita Mall on Saturday 7/21/2018 I have been shopping at Nordstrom since 1980, Very Disappointed customer BAD BAD BAD BAD customer service the WORST read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Made me jump through hoops just "picking up" things that I thought I had already purchased online. Two workers needed multiple IDs from me (over 3) I even had the online receipt. I also explained that my card was a debit and that no one could spend money unless they knew the code. The lady smiles and says "sorry, I need to do this because of the charged amount" NO FUCKING SHIT. I bought only 3 things: 2 shirts and a little skin care cream.. and that shit came out to be over $400. I don't know if it was because maybe I wasn't dressed all nice and bougie or what but she was making it so hard to purchase shit from the store, do you want customers to buy your expensive shit or not? Fuck you nordstrom, you lost my business. read more

This place truly exemplifies GREAT customer service. I love the cosmetics department in this store. Okay, I'm biased because I used to work in the department, but so what, that just means it's really THAT good! The girls behind the cosmetics counters are knowledgeable and they'll call you up to let you know of special events if you let them put you in their database. They have a trunk show once a year that you have to buy tickets for to attend where you can enjoy drinks and appetizers while you attend workshops held by the different cosmetics vendors. The money for the ticket then gets credited to your purchase and you get a bunch of samples to take home. Totally worth it! If the store is out of something, the sales associates can easily look it up on the computers to see if any nearby stores carry it and have it delivered to the store. Same goes for brands not carried by this store but are available at another Nordstrom. The anniversary sale and semi-annual sales are great too! They have regular priced items at reduced prices for the sale and the prices go back up after the sale. You can even find some Marc Jacobs and Chloe handbags on sale sometimes. Awesome! read more

Nordstrom is my favorite department store. The service is always awesome and they have quality stuff. I do not go frequently anymore since I work all the time, but I miss the live piano music. I think everybody knows what Nordstrom has to offer. I have learned though that if you are cool with buying used items, you can get a BIG discount, hence the popularity of ebay. Also, I got a clothier, so my tall and thin european look can get a tailored suit or shirts that will fit the way it is supposed to. Nothing but great things about Nordstrom. I have never had a bad experience there. read more

For starters: the salespeople at Nordstrom's are FANTASTIC. They are incredibly nice, helpful, and present. I gave the store four stars because of the below and the fact that it's not great for people who are short. Some of you will know what I mean. The shirts are cute, but too long for someone of my stature (5'3"); the pants generally fit, but same problem. My true problem with the store could be the florescent lights in the dressing rooms. Have you ever seen the George Carlin skit about our similarities? YEAH. After trying on clothes for a few minutes I just want to leave with a paper bag on my head and join a gym. The lighting is NOT flattering. Nordstrom's should take a cue from A & F in this regard: better lighting makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE. read more

My favorite shopping store ever! Especially when I need to buy my makeup CHANEL and EVERYTHING. If I could buy everything I WILL LOL... Since I am too far for Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Outlets and LUXURIES SIGNATURE NAME. I am still THANKFUL there's NORDSTROM closes to my place and I am so lucky. read more

See all

Ordered online. I was emailed that it was ready. On the same email, it said that they have a curbside pickup and that to call customer service when I'm 10 minutes away from the store. It was the most hassle free shopping I've done in a while. The sales rep went out and gave me my items and I was there for less than 2 minutes. It's quicker than a drive thru read more

I shop at Nordstrom's quite a bit, I've purchased David Yurman jewelry, a lot of burberry products and even things for my baby. I purchased a wallet a few days ago as a Christmas gift and I paid cash, I actually ended up buying a Kate Spade cat purse at another Nordstrom's for the gift and wanted to return the wallet. I had my receipt and the unused item. I made the return and I was asked for my license, I refused because I don't see any need for my personal information to be in their system especially if it's a cash transaction and I have my receipt. I refused and was told I could only get a gift card if I didn't want to provide identification. NO WHERE on their receipt does it mention needing an ID to return an item. I could understand it if I were returning a product with no receipt but this absurd, the "manager" Ashley was beyond rude and tried to give me lame excuse about the patriot act, I called corporate to let them know she's not only rude but wrong. I'm returning the purse as well because I refuse to give Nordstrom's another dollar, I guess Bloomingdales it is! In today's modern world where I can get things for cheaper online customer service is important. Things like this are the reason why so many retailers are hurting, i only spend a couple of thousand dollars a year here so my business won't be missed but when enough people get fed up they'll go the way of major retailers that closed. Never again will I shop here read more

I normally don't take the time to write negative reviews but this experience really pushed me over the edge. I ordered a hat on line. Unfortunately, it was too small and the Nordstrom in Arcadia didn't carry it so I ordered a different size. I went in to return it with tags, shipping label and original packaging all included. I was in the dress department and Sharon said she could help me. She starts processing the return and then mumbles under her breath "this isn't our product ". Knowing perfectly well she was mistaken I chose to stay quiet and give her time to figure it out. She then turned around and whispered something to her co worker. Wow! I finally asked what was wrong and she said I needed to take it down to accessories. I walked over to customer service where she quickly processed the return and couldn't understand why the comment was made. I understand that it's Nordstrom and people do shady things. I am not one of those people and you made me feel as if I was trying to steal a $46 hat. I will never shop there again. read more

Got Awesome customer services, ( I left Macy's so disappointed because the ladies at ESTEE Lauder didn't want to help me) anyways, I got to the ESTEE Lauder at Nordstrom and one ladies right away asked me if I needed help. I asked her for a Match up for a foundation, then Julie got there and she continued to help me. Julie tried on me the foundation, concealer , blush, powder lip stick and bronzer, she was so helpful.. I needed up buying more than just the foundation I was going for... I will be back next week for more of the products she tried on me... Thank You Julie.... Nordstrom - you should give Julie thanks because thanks to her my day went better after Macy's totally disappointed me. read more

Nordstrom Santa Anita - Thank you Julie - Department Stores Near Me - Arcadia, California

I was shopping here yesterday and when I was waiting for a cashier she said one moment I'll be with you. So I waited for mind you no one was in line. I patiently waited until both female cashiers were done doing whatever they had to do. Suddenly a white lady approached them and both cashiers were able to attend to her and took her clothes for her to purchase them. I thought it was unprofessional of these two women and I said wow so I guess my brown skin isn't noticeable and I haven't been standing here for five minutes. My money is green too and I work just as hard as the next person. I was very offended and ended up leaving. You seriously need to talk to your employees this is no way to treat a customer. Did they apologize no it's sad how Nordstrom people work. read more

We were unsure of the 1901 brand. And I asked a lady whether the sizes were standard or ran big. She said in a hurry, "they are trimmed to fit" without looking what item we were asking about. True, the polo shirts did say Trimmed to fit. But the jackets weren't. Joey came to our rescue. He took off his coat, tried on the Jacket and we bought the jacket. Nordstrom is lucky to have someone like Joey in the Men's Department. Thank you! read more

VERY friendly staff. Poor selection and variety of Premium Denim ("PD").

I've been coming here lately to purchase bras. The staff members are super nice. No matter who ends up helping me, they're always very patient and attentive. They always made sure I was comfortable in the bra from the fitting room before I made my purchase. I don't but anything else from here, so far only bras. Will definitely come back when I need more in the future. read more

Today I had to return a suit that I purchased 4 months ago. The entire customer service team was awesome. Special thanks to Justin in the men's department. He helped me with the return and getting two new suits. read more

The two sections I usually hit up here are the shoe and makeup areas. Everything else I pretty much ignore. That being said I really don't buy much here because it's just so overpriced... I enjoy looking at all the beautiful shoes and the new fashions but in my opinion it's not really worth spending so much money for one pair of shoes. That's why I check out Nordstrom Rack for cheaper prices hehe The makeup/cosmetic section is very nice, they have a huge selection so you can find anything you want and the ladies there are pretty helpful. I also like wandering around in the accessory section and trying on hats and various jewelry items =D read more

Thank you Tony N. at the shoes department for an excellent & professional service! Big thumbs up!

Out of the two Nordstrom department stores located around Pasadena (Santa Anita/Arcadia and Glendale Galleria), the Arcadia store is the better one. They just completed a very extensive remodel, and have completely redone the inside of the store to make it look hip and cool, and not drab 1980's-looking (like the one inside the Glendale Galleria). The mens shoe and mens clothing departments look great. The interior feels a lot more spacious too after the renovations. Merchandise is very nicely organized and kept that way. The whole store is also always kept very clean. I can definitely vouch for one of the reviewers before me about the well-dressed old gentleman standing at the entrance to the store from the lot greeting customers. I've seen him there quite a few times, especially during the major sales (the Anniversary Sale in July). I don't know what it is, but it adds a classy touch to the place and makes you feel welcome. I'm sure that it is something that used to be done in the glory days of the large downtown department stores. The salespeople working in the mens shoes department really know their shoes. They're not just kids selling pairs of expensive Italian dress shoes. Over the years, I've always had better service and attention in the Arcadia mens shoe department than in the Glendale mens shoe department. These are the specific points I want to make about this particular Nordstrom location. Needless to say, Nordstrom in general (every location) has among the best customer service in the retail industry - a model for everyone else to look at and try to imitate. read more
