A nice addition to the Americana. There were some fans of the old Nordstrom at the Galleria (I have no idea why...it was by far the worst location and selection of any Nordstrom I've ever been to) but this new one is really some thing nice. The location is bright and open and the selection of brands is a big step up. Nordstrom customers in the area went from a C-level store to an A. I was very amused reading some of the other reviews from some of the long time customers of the other location. Well there were no sale items on the first day because the stock is all new. The sales will come but if you are swearing off the place because of the prices....well... there is a Marshall's up the block! read more

What annoys me most about department stores is that the vast majority of the store goes to women's clothing and accessories, while the men get maybe a corner of the store. When that happens you get a very limited selection to choose from. Now there are some exceptions to this, but this is not one of those places. The men's department here is pretty small and barren. The styles and colors don't vary much at all. I was looking for a maroon/burgundy/wine colored shirt for my wedding. I like Nordstrom because they sell high quality stuff. The issue was that there wasn't enough clothing here to make a decent selection and the only colors they seemed to have were blue, green, black, and grey. You could spend less than 5 minutes and have gone through the majority of their stuff. Even just glancing at their clothes tells you what they have. The customer service here was good though. A christmas gift came with a security tag on it and they were happy to take that off. Another gift was too large, so they gave me a gift card for it. Their selection online is much larger, so I think I'll stay there for now. 32/100 read more

Enough with the sheer brown curtains ! Just put the stuff on sale already. Employees did not know where to find things. I was looking for specifics, she says, I don't know. Asked for the manager . He was empathetic. Nice guy. I won't shop at this particular store ever again. read more

Ahh Nordstrom.. I love you! I've become a big Nordstrom customer in the last year and I've come into this store a couple of times to return items purchased online or to make purchases. The times I've come in, the employees have greeted me and are quick to help make my shopping experience 5star! They seemed to have switched the people working in the shoe department too. Gone are the grumpy staff and they have been replaced by friendly employees that are quick to help you. Store is always imaculate clean and organized which is a bonus! read more

This is for the MAC counter in this Nordstrom. I came in with the interest of finding a good concealer and finishing powder. As a first time MAC user, I was expecting for the sales rep to be more informative and friendly, but it didn't seem like she cared for my business. She picked a concealer and applied it to my left under undereye, while I already had concealer on. It looked blotchy and horrible...I don't think anyone in their right mind would be convinced to purchase something that looked so bad. Obviously I did not purchase it. Didn't remember her name, but she had dark hair and a bun. read more

Brand new location at the Americana. This review is for the service. Not surprisingly, as Nordstrom is notorious for great service, but I am giving 5 stars to the staff in the women's section upstairs because they went above and beyond for me at my last visit. I asked a question about adding someone to my credit card and they called billing for me and walked me through the steps there and then to make the change. Then they offered great advice for parking at Americana: parking is always validated for 3 hr free parking for Nordstrom shoppers, there is a kiosk at any of the customer service centers in the store. Also if you spend $200 combined at any Americana stores, parking is free all day, just show your receipts. Anyway, I had a great visit and where many other older stores may not be as motivated to keep every customer happy, this store is on top of its game. read more

Nordstrom has changed quite a bit! The shoe department is a very sad place to experience. No high-end shoes at all. Went upstairs to the men's department. Two "sales" guys were so busy talking to each other, thought they should get a room. They couldn't see or realize they had customers. You'll have to go and ask them for help and break up the cackling. I remember loving to shop till I dropped and spend as much money as I possibly could. The only person worthy would be Michelle at the Bobbi Brown counter. She was knowledgeable and professional. The only the reason I might consider returning to Nordstrom Glendale. read more

Nordstrom really dropped the ball with moving this store to the Americana. Something is just so off about this location. The entrance is awkward and the whole store is like narrow and tall! It seems so uninviting! When advertising the opening they made it seem as though it was going to be one of the most amazing Nordstrom locations we have ever seen. The selection SUCKS! What is the point of all this fancy looking decor and remodeling when the merchandise is sub-par in comparison to Topanga and even Santa Anita. I come to Nordstrom for the higher end brands and the nice quality clothing but they did away with a lot of the stuff they used to offer. Not to mention, the extreme inconvenience of this location. Sometimes I just want to drop in real quick and leave but then I have to deal with the parking and crowd of the Americana. I used to come to Nordstrom 1 to 2 times a week. Now it's once every 2 months. *rant over* lol read more

I visited the Americana location and the most handsome young guy Dalton(very unique name couldn't forget) at the Dior cosmetics area was so helpful and patient with me.. I was stuck on my purchase and he recommended an even better lip shade than initially intended to get. He was so funny and very engaging with not only me but other people who needed help as well! If anyone's looking for a make up guru, HE IS YOUR MAN ! He gave me contact information in case I had any future questions or concerns ! SO AMAZING don't know a lot of people who do that !! Thanks again Dalton ! read more

Don't get me wrong... I LOVE Nordstrom. But I HATE the Americana. Nordstrom in general gets 5 stars. The Americana gets 0 stars. What a mistake Nordstrom made by moving to the Americana. I detest outdoor shopping malls. Yes, I was born and raised in "Sunny California." But, believe me, it does rain here - especially when you're trying to do Christmas shopping. (Isn't that when stores really cash in?) I want a covered parking structure with direct covered access to all mall shops. I don't want to get my shoes and purchases wet in the rain while also trying to prop my umbrella. What a stupid idea. Whoever this Caruso guy is with his outdoor malls, he's an idiot. Would you pay money to go to Disneyland when it's pouring rain? I don't think so. This is a 40 year step back. Even though we valet parked, we still had to walk a block outdoors to get to Nordstrom. Something wrong there... As for the Apple Store: I will make my purchases at the Galleria location. I will boycott the Americana location. My impression of the new Nordstrom at Americana: SMALL! Far less selection. Even the bathrooms are downsized. One regular stall, one disabled stall. Lots of baby changing paraphernalia. Still have the sinks covered with water splashes. Nordstrom: you'd be better off opening a standalone location with your own (free) parking below the store. Gee how about the Glendale Sears location? read more

Disappointed with the new store. Lacks inventory - shoe selection is slim pickings. Cosmetic section looks like Sephora (which is great if you are at Sephora). Clothing selection is so limited and organized in a strange way. In addition, they are very short staffed, took 15 minutes to get someone to bring out a pair of shoes which is the total opposite of most Nordstroms. It seems as though they are going in a different direction - I hope it isn't the direction all of their stores are heading - or I'll be headed elsewhere. I'm sticking with the Topanga location. read more

This store is nice, but I feel like there isn't a lot of inventory, especially for baby and kids clothing. Some of the employees and really helpful and sweet. read more

One of the cleanest Nordstrom's I've been in. Maybe because it is new, or maybe because there is the "Caruso" standard being in the Americana et al. Indeed they have great selection of bags, and evening dresses. Quite unique. I also like the bathrooms. I am sure most Nordstrom's will get some sort of a 4-star. I would give a 5-star to all the crew/employees at this one. I made three visits so far, and each time I came across kind, polite, and helpful employees. Bravo! read more

I have shopped at this Nordstrom's since they opened.. and for years (Xavier Espinosa ) assisted me and my kids in all our shopping needs.. sorry to hear is no longer with store .. it has definitely made us shop elsewhere! Wish he would return read more

A few months back i purchased Gucci sunglasses... They ended up behind my car seat crushed sadly. My friend told me to call them up and see if they would do anything for me. To my surprise the guy told me to come in with the glasses. He showed his manager and the manager approved a free swap for me!!! Honesty is the best policy i always say. And this time it paid off :) read more

I didn't realize how "dingy" and cramped the old Nordstrom was until I stepped into the new one. Sleek, gorgeous, bigger. The prices are higher than before, I think, to recoup their expenditures. No "grand sales" at the "grand opening." We lunched in the restaurant upstairs, and had a lovely time. Sandwiches and soups. Turkey BLT, chicken sliders. Outdoor seating as well. Staff was friendly. read more

Very nice customer service . I bought a pair of shoes for my little boy 6 months ago and went back to exchange them . The gentleman in the kids department was very nice , helpful and he even helped me to decided which pair to take. I really like this store , I wish I could go more often . read more

My husband and I just discovered the cafe and bar at Nordstrom. We spent a wonderful few hours eating delicious food, enjoying fantastic drinks. ALL the staff and managers are simply a wonderful team. We will be back for sure and I have now become a loyal Nordstrom customer! Zaric is the best bar tender there best service best employee! read more

MONA MONA MONA in the fragrance department, completely stunned me, to the point where I wish I had approached her instead of any one else. She was the most healthiest one out of all the workers but yet the most brightest, most active, most generous, honest, kindest, active and probably the only one who can't the black-and-white. Well all the other women standing around her made the experience of shopping for simple cologne feel awkward. Well everyone stating that they don't validate she took a time out to call me aside and direct me to the exact validation location. Even though I didn't give her the sale, she still took better care of me as if I was her own. Nordstrom should feel blessed and lucky to have such an amazing employee as Mona... Thank you Mona... read more

Natasha was incredible!! Thanks for making our trip an amazing one!! Please don't change....Thanks again Natasha!!!

I consistently receive HORRENDOUS service at this location that I was so inclined to write a yelp review about my most recent experience... and it's gotten to a point that I'm considering cancelling my Nordstrom card all together just so that this terrible company will never receive my money again. I came in to try on a pair of shoes, because the pair I ordered online were too big. I had been conversing with a salesmen for 15 minutes, one whom which I could tell was originally from Armenia due to his thick accent. Because of that, I tried not to let his abrasive and rude tone get to me, trying to be understanding of the language barrier. He also kept disappearing every now and then. When I finally made my decision on a size, I asked "Can I order these in a size 7.5?", he picks up the box and proceeds to walk away from me and says "If it's available". LOL so at this point I'm just like "ok this dude needs to be trained on how to talk to customers." but whatever. When we get to the cash register, there's a lady standing there, waiting to return something. He asks if she's been helped and she says no. It's at this point that he drops everything he's doing with me, turns his back and starts helping her (we're on opposite sides of the counter). I make a face, and even the kind customer said, "Oh no, you can help her first. She was first", because like I said, I had been talking to him for 15 minutes. does this guy not want to make a sale? He shrugs her comment off and proceeds to help her. This is the last straw and I walk over to another cash register infuriated. I also ask to speak to a manager. The manager comes over, and the rude man who was helping me also does. Mind you, I work in customer service, I know what to do when I have an angry customer-- I apologize for my behavior and I do anything I can to fix it. This man on the other hand starts to make excuses for his behavior and says "Mam, I had to help her, she was waiting". Also, at this point, the manager doesn't even step in to make him stop saying the stupid things he was. I say "I technically was first. I had been talking to you for 15 minutes. Does that not count as a customer waiting?" He says "It's our policy to help people that were waiting in line first." I look at the manager and ask her "Is that really a policy, despite the fact that he had been helping me first?" The manager stares at me blankly. Cool. Great job. And then the salesmen has the nerve to say "So it's fine if you come over here and let her help you out. I just wanted to explain why I did what I did". Fix your employee training policies, Nordstrom. This is absolutely ridiculous. read more

I like Nordstrom they have plenty of choice for gifts and cool brand stuff. Specially I love make up N perfume store. Staff is always helpful and kind. read more

Unfortunately, this Nordstrom is by far the worst. They used to have the best service when they were in the Glendale Galleria. Yesterday, I was at the Giorgio Armani beauty counter looking at some makeup. I saw 2 women standing there for a good 5 min chatting before one of them decided to offer me some help and call me "hun" which is totally rude. I asked for a specific color number and she ended up selling me the wrong makeup. Now I have to make a trip today and return the makeup because she was incompetent and didn't check to see if she gave me the right color lipstick. Shame.. read more

Warning! Do not go today. Place is a mad house today. I couldn't get any associates help because of all the people here. My claustrophobia is x 100 right now. Parking was a so hard to find. Most of all I'm just not happy with how the associate knew that I was waiting to see some shoes and she acted like she forgot that I have been standing there for the past 30 min trying to get a size. I just cant. I'm out! read more

Can't get enough of their bag section! All my favorite brands! Love kate spade, Michael kors and ted Baker! This location has a good stock of everything! Very clean and organized layout. Like that there's a coffee station right the entrance. Always grab one on the way out! read more

Nordstrom at the Americana at Brand - Department Stores Near Me - Glendale, California

The new store follows the Sephora layout in the makeup section so that it's less intimidating to DIY. The floorplan overall is simple, clean and crisp. The lighting and the white floors are impeccable. The design and layout is modern and simplistic. Makes the products look good. The sales associates are awesome here and have great suggestions. I would definitely come back. read more

Great customer service in lingerie! Merri was amazing! Especially, after being treated so poorly at Tory Burch, we came into Nordstrom on this Sunday afternoon! This young lady was attentive and so kind. Even though we were wearing a mask, her voice and her eyes showed that she was smiling! More Merri's are needed to bring back great customer service we've seen tank in the last few years! Thank you for your help and keep up the great work! read more

Awesome! Shoe shopping with my relatives here was amazing. My cousin has a shoe size of 4 1/2 so it's really hard to find her a shoe that fits and looks good, but that difficulty was cleared thanks to our awesome helper Arthur. He was super attentive and he had a great attitude. Arthur even got stacks of 4 1/2 shoes just for my cousin, she was so happy! Definitely would come here again. The shoes were a real kick! :) read more

See all

I have been shopping at Nordstrom Glendale (now at the Americana at Brand) for over twenty years. And though these days I live on the East Coast and unable to pop into the store regularly, I recently visited Nordstrom while in Glendale and had a very pleasant experience at the Shiseido cosmetic counter. I am truly appreciative of Kristy Tran's (Business Manager) expertise and dedication to her walk-in clients. Kristy was informative and thoughtful as she walked me through the lighter shades of Shiseido's Synchro Skin Lasting Liquid Foundation searching for the best color to match my skin tone. Kristy also introduced me to Shiseido's Benefiance NutriPerfect Night Cream -- "a high-performance nighttime recovery cream created especially for mature skin experiencing wrinkles and discoloration..." Not only is my skin showing signs of wrinkles and dryness these day, but I am also hyper-sensitive to all facial products and must be vigilant of any product I may use. Though, I was slow to accept Kristy's suggestion to use this cream, I am so glad that I did. I have now been using this product for over a week and have found that it is hydrating my sensitive skin much more than my usual nightly product. Thanks Kristy for being patient with me and for providing excellent guidance. If you desire personalized attention and service when it comes to finding the correct Shiseido product for your skin, be sure to visit the Shiseido counter at Nordstrom at the American at Brand and ask for Kristy Tran. She will walk you through the various options of Shiseido products that will work best for your skin type. Also, try and choose a time when the store is not too busy, this way you will get the personalized service you deserve. Another plus: products are specially formulated by Shiseido Laboratories in Japan, but are all made in the U.S.A. read more

(BP Shoes Celeste) I hate having to write these reviews. I'd love to go on here every day and rave about the best service, write a survey, or talk to a manager but this didn't happen to me the day I came in to do an exchange. It was a simple exchange from online. I had my receipts and the item came to me in the mail yesterday so it was in good condition. She was even going to get the commission. The entire transaction she was curt, from beginning to end. No smiles at all. I tried to be cheery and spark up conversation but she was having none of it. When I asked her if she could do a manual DTC because I'm going on vacation (I used to work for the company so I remember using that policy to speed up a delivery for a customer) she was pissed. Finally when it was over she didn't even hand me the receipt she just put it on the counter and walked away. What happened to walking around the counter? Didn't even say thank you or goodbye. This kind of service is rude in any retail store and I expect so much more at Nordstrom because my manager would not tolerate this. She would not train her team like this. I'm very disappointed. Do better. read more

To the Manager at Nordstrom's Americana in Glendale Designer Purse Dept. Dear "purse lady", you know who you are. It would've helped tremendously that instead of telling me to "calm down" you were simply more accommodating and dare I say nicer, less condescending. Simply, all you needed to say was "I'm sorry you've had a problem with this purse, let's work it out." Instead the entire conversation was about me "calming down" not you helping me. Nordstrom's, where's that customer service you're so well known for? I'm off to Bloomingdales from this point forward. You've lost me. read more

Great addition to the Americana. Came last week for their new addition (Nordstrom) to get a cropped animal printed long sleeve and I wasnt leaving without it! Some stupid girl left a make-up smear on it and it was the last of its kind! The sales rep from east coast, I dont remember her name (she was nice and friendly though) took it to their seamstress and brought it in ten minutes and the smear was gone! Happy with my purchase. Love it! read more

Nordstroms has always been very professional and never disappointed me. I bout a suit today and the gentlemen that helped me pick out something's totally different from what I would wear to a wedding. Can't wait till Saturday thank you for the help. read more

Nordstrom at the Americana at Brand - The best!!! - Department Stores Near Me - Glendale, California

Completely ignored from the moment I walked in to the Nordstrom's beauty and skincare area. I always buy my Paula's Choice products from a Nordstrom location so I don't have to wait for shipping from the website, and today I wish I had just ordered online. When I went to the main counter to pay, 2 associates walked up and ignored me, ringing up their customers and not even asking if I was ready to check out. Only after another customer told the associate that she could ring me up first, was my presence acknowledged. Won't be returning and will advise others to avoid this location with a 10 foot pole. read more

Service absolutely TOPS from Mel B. in the lingerie department! If you want to be helped and not shamed, go here. I have a red carpet event coming up and needed a supportive shaping bra for older breasts as well as possible shape wear for body flab which I've never chosen to wear before. However, the gown I'm wearing is form-fitting and my form needs help! Mel was not fake-gushy but supportive and precise in what she thought would help me achieve the best look. She knows her products. End result - couldn't be happier. Bra was side-pushup-supportive and could cross in back to create nice cleavage. Shape wear after second pull-on is easy to wear, smooths out lumps and lines but will not make me look model-thin - don't expect that. If you need advice for anything in lingerie, I highly recommend Mel. Nordstrom is known for their customer service and they have always come through with their trained staff. THANK YOU, MEL!! read more

I have mixed reviews about the service here. In one section, I was greeted and helped promptly. It was great customer service. However, in another section, I was ignored, and never even greeted. A few minutes later, another customer with a dog rolled by, and the workers went goo goo gaga over that dog. Guess a dog was more important than a paying customer? Too bad for you, bc you lost out on a sale. Besides that, it's a very clean and bright store. I'll just avoid some sections next time and only stick to sections with people who actually care about customer service and business. read more

This is our favorite Nordstrom store due to the location, the convenience, supply, and the all white interior. The staff is extremely helpful in the makeup department specifically which carries all of the higher end cosmetic lines. Although there is a Sephora right next door, it's convenient to have a well-stocked Napoleon inside of this Nordstrom. Three stories high, this store has everything you are looking for. If you're hungry, there's a casual e-bar on the first floor for a quick meal or you can go to the third floor and dine with a more sophisticated ambience or choose to enjoy the nice weather on their patio. -Ian & Megan read more

My review is specifically for Edgar, the Manager of Women's Shoes. Even though some of the Nordstorm employees at this location are in need of customer service training, he was able to assist me with a simple return/order. I am very pleased with how he helped me and I will definitely be back to see him. Thank you for the help Edgar! Side note: Not pleased with the cosmetic counter, these women are all standing around and I was looking for a brightening serum. I was asking about a few products and they kept responding "I'm not sure." Not even taking the initiative to ask someone. Ended up going to Sephora to buy a serum and moisturizer. Such a shame cause I enjoy my Nordstorm notes. read more

Literally just left this store after going through an incredibly embarrassing moment caused by the employees. I took in a gift to exchange it and they scanned the tag. The tag showed up as a different item and they looked at me as of it was my fault (i.e., stolen). Clearly, someone from their store incorrectly reattached the tag before I purchased it. And, the manager doesn't give me any solutions when it's a $75 shirt After years of coming here and purchasing, never again will I. read more

Great customer service, but no internet inside the store. You cannot use your phone. Cafe is great, with amazing food and service.
