The Brea location of Nordstrom Rack is one of my favorites. The staff is super friendly and helpful! They will go out of their way to locate an item and call when it has been located ! The lines are long but go quick. My one criticism is that the prices are sometimes higher here for the same items than other locations...otherwise I would have given 5 stars read more

The review is in regards to their check out. THE WORST. The cashiers take fooooorever here. There's always 5 of them in their area but don't acknowledge or look up at the long line. It takes at minimum 20 minutes to get to a cashier. read more

I love going here. They have a great selection and pretty good prices. It is always busy so be prepared. It is really nice to go shopping and feel like you get good fashionable deals. read more

Awful, rude associate who apparently is bothered by working there. Stood in line for 20 minutes with a return that I thought could be found using my email: used to be the policy. Tags on everything never touched. Apparently they only go back 45 days now so beware of your timeline. I use my Nordstrom Visa as my primary card for shopping. That will also stop today. What happened to your level of service?! Seriously. read more

How ridiculous! I walked in today and two dogs are barking at each other. So unpleasant to hear this when one walks into a store like Nordstrom. Feels like I walked into Petsmart. read more

Love this location! Always helpful associates & shoe selection never fails! Happy shopper!

Yes ,the line gets long and can head toward the back of the store but there are 8 registers at the finish line. Just watch for the waving flag and your next. So don't let the line scare you away because the deals will bring you back. You can get a little bit of everything here. Calvin Klein, hudson jeans,mek,William rast jeans, James perse,juicy,bcbg, maddie m, seven for all mankind and more! Kids is great as well as the designer handbags,sunglasses,jewelry, and lingerie! Best buy look for the catalog closeouts designer names for a fab deal. Nothing but great things to say about this one read more

I've always had great experiences shopping at The Rack in Brea. I have found great deals! My new obsession is using The Rack app. I can order things online and if it doesn't work out then I can just return it at any local Rack store. I've never had any problem returning items. read more

Been coming here for many many years, and it seems like the quality of goods get worse every year. I used to score a lot of high-end designer products at low price, but these days it's just mediocre products at low price. read more

Ileana the seamstress was awesome! She made my prom dress fit perfectly and was very helpful and efficient. If you need anything tailored go see her! read more

The customers that shop here are the worst, they make the biggest mess and expect Store workers to clean up after them, pig customers!!!

Ok so when I go to a "discount" store I want a discount! I have been spoiled by Ross and Marshall's and T to the J max! So when I walk into NR and find a great handbag for $259 I'm like what???!!?!?!!?? Does rack mean rack up all my money to spend? Caution: move away from the purses! Do not get fooled! So I Walk over to the clothes...what?!?!?!?!? $167 for a top! Does it come with a steak? This discount store must be for the rich! Ok let me move on to the shoes. Finally! I found some beautiful and comfortable black pumps for work for only 45 bucks! That's what I call off the rack! Everything is well organized and marked appropriately. The check out line was kind of long but moved fast. The check out person was not only nice but entertaining. She kindly complemented on what I was wearing so I felt like a boss walking out of there with my new shoes looking cute :) Located in a huge shopping center makes it even better because you can shop 'till you drop. I will defiantly be back after I take out a small loan :/ read more

Let me just start off by saying no one in this store has a name tag so I wasn't able to get the original employees name but I came in to return a gift my boyfriend receive and the First Lady at the register refused to return them and said "we don't know if you got the pants here" but there was clearly still tags attached and she continued to rip the pants out of my hands and I finally told her "can you please let go of the pants?" And then I asked to speak to a manager and the manager came over (De Andra is her name) and she said "I've never seen these pants before, are you sure they were purchased here?" I finally had to call the person that gave him the gift to send the email receipt and when she scanned it, BOOM there the pants were so we got store credit and went to look for a pair of pants to replace the ones we returned and there was a full section of the pants I had just returned. The customer service here is terrible and I will not return until it's improved. And they should really teach the employees not to accuse the customer of fraud. read more

Always had great experiences before and shop and spend a lot of money here. Last weekend approached a kiosk with only one person in line. I've been shopping there over one year and always but at the kiosk to avoid the long line. As I approached the girl turned to her coworker as yo not want to help me. I was carrying my items as here were no carts! Bad move Nordstrom. I tho I you need to purchase more carts, aren't you trying to sell more. Had I had one I promise I would have added more to my cart! As I approached the girl told me only 5 items max. The lines were extremely long , no one else was waiting or approaching behind me. I asked why? She said "that's there policy." I said I never had heard of that and I always have more than 5 items and purchase at the kiosk. She rudely told me it's been his way for over a year. I said funny since I've been shopping there I've never been told that. I asked why there weren't signs. She had no response and again told me I couldn't stay there. So as I'm carrying a heavy load of items almost falling out of my arms hurting my back since they have no carts, I approach the other kiosk I asked before I waited in that line if I could purchase at her line. The girl looked at me and said yes. That is customer service. I told her what the other gal said she said there are no signs, we've asked for signs its ok you can purchase at any kiosk. With the store packed and lines everywhere what happened to Nordstrom customer service? Seems it's just run into another type of mill like a ross or Marshall's! GM you should train you're young staff on what it means to be a Nordstrom employee and offer customer service and you really need to get many more carts if you want to keep up with your customers. read more

I was recently at this Nordstrom's rack on Friday and the guy in women's named Andrew I think it was was very helpful and sweet to me. He helped me with what I was looking for and he looked like he new his area well. After I was done shopping he offered me that express check out which was really helpful because I told him I was in a hurry. You guys need more people like him. I will be coming back because of that young man. read more

I love shopping here. It's a small branch but at least too messy. Also, the staff is nice and very helpful.

Just went in today to return/exchange bracelets that I got as a gift. I went in knowing it would be difficult without proof of purchase, but I know Nordstroms has amazing customer service even with difficult situations. Megan (sales assoc?) was so friendly and patient. She looked through the entire system for me and explained what information i needed to provide. Devon (lead?) was horrible. She entered the situation with a bad attitude and kept telling me they wouldnt take it (before even asking me for info like Megan did). She was so stuck up and had horrible body language. After i already said I would wait for her to create a new price tag so i could return the bracelet, Devon kept saying "it will take a long time. I dont know how long." After i agreed numerous times to wait she said "fine youre only getting sale price" and walked away. Finally when Devon returned and Megan completed my returns, i thanked Devon. Of course, Devon did not even look at me and walked away. IN SUMMARY- todays visit demonstrated awesome and horrible customer service. Megan=awesome Devon=bitch Nordstroms, i expected better. read more

I love Nordstrom Rack. I love finding a great deal! The only thing that is so disappointing is the makeup section. They have some great options. Most recently there were some Burberry eyeshadows and some urban decay lipsticks! The problem is that every single Burberry eyeshadow (there were about 8 in the display) had been opened by a customer and touched which totally ruins the product. Most of the lipsticks were opened as well. This isn't the first time I've seen the makeup section like this. I've also been back after finding used products and have found the makeup back in their boxes ready to sell. I find that incredibly gross that Nordstrom Rack knowingly sells contaminated makeup. Also the last time I was there, there was a young woman opening all the makeup looking at what was inside/ touching it to see if it was a good color and putting it back. So gross. I think staff needs to find a way from preventing people from touching the makeup because it is an easy was for Nordstrom Rack to lose money! read more

A lot of product and good deals. Only complaint would be that checkout lines are usually long and move very slow.

I bought a pair of true religions here about 2/3 months ago(one of many) I have worn them a handful of times yesterday I was wearing them and while I was sitting driving my car I moved my leg and they ripped about 8 inches down the seem and no they weren't to tight.. anyways I had my receipt emailed to me and I can't find it in my email so logically I went to the store to return them thinking they can look it up by email, but apparently they cant or at least that's what the wanna be wicked witch of the West wanna be manager Lisa said and she then offered me a gift card for a penny to return them. I'm sorry but when I'm paying that much for one pair of jeans I would expect them to have a little better system and a not so bitchy manager that clearly was mad that I asked her to do her job then proceeds to insult me by offering me a one cent gift card I'm pretty sure the card costs more! Anyways the block is only 5 minutes away i recommend you take your business there to be treated better and not get offered a penny for a pair of jeans that cost 125$. read more

i love this place. great deals on all the things i love at nordstroms. designer designer designer. i love designer things! and at a discounted price i love it even more. their shoe selection is AMAZING! can get a great pair of shoes for 50% off. plus they have all the brands! love it! minus the mess clutter and long lines. read more

shoes,jewlrey and acessories

I really hope this problem is temporary. If it's not, the Rack as we know it won't last - it seems to be sinking as it is. I, like at least one other person who also shared experiencing the waiting line of fools, will add that my experience may be worse. I saw 2 only cashiers; there were 17 people in line. No sense of urgency and of course, they do not empower satellite registers to transact returns from the signage I saw. So I waited and could no longer wait, then bailed. While waiting, I saw a few leisurely employees racking items and carrying on with things, no sense of help there either. Since then, I have missed closing time twice, due to having non conventional hours. For example, it is Tuesday night - and they've closed at 6? How do they expect to serve customers who have to work the hours they're open? read more

Awesome customer service. The store is clean and organized. I'm totally happy with the items carried at this location. I always get lucky finding a ton of stuff :) read more

Sat in line for 1/2 an hour while the cashier took FOREVER to check out one person. Got to the front four our turn and she said I'll be right back. Waited another 5 minutes and finally walked out. Horrible customer service!!! read more

Place was a life saver when it came to Christmas shopping. Can usually find some great stuff for good deals although sometimes it takes a while because it is messy and unorganized read more

Im really upset at Normstroms Rack. Poor customer service dont think I will ever step a foot in the brea location ever. Manager promised to hold my clothes for the next day so that I could get double points. Well guess what they put it all back and then said oh we will help you find the items what a joke! Out of 8 items we found 2 ! Soo pissed off! read more

Please do not ever shop here. I bought clothes from here and have been wearing all of them. Every time I wear something I get FLEA BITES all over. Just now realized that is what the problem is. I will never ever be shopping at Nordstrom rack again!!! read more

Walk in hopefully discovering my fathers perfect size suit on short notice...I know typical customer...We don't find the perfect size pants so of course we give the tailor the least amount of time to adjust my dads pants. I mean Lleana is only booked and full of work for the next two weeks; couldn't she just tailor immediately since we are the special customers they've been waiting for. Well honestly Lleana Stetco and Randi were so KIND. I'm sure they get customers like us all the time, who expect to be treated as priority. I'm sure they are expected to do the adjustments by they're bosses, but they're kindness and urgency to help is what impressed our family. Lleana immediately assisted my father and Randi was so kind to my mother and I. Great customer service is rare now-a-days. Usually comes along with the, I'm being forced by corporate face and expressions. Not the case here, both ladies were genuinely helpful and kind. My first experience at Nordstrom and boy they set the bar. I also love how the racks were organized. The size on hanger actually matched the item attached to it...Amazing right. I was skeptical so of course I checked a whole row lol. Perfectly in numerical order, all sizes. Made shopping quick and easy. Thanks Lleana and Randi read more

I NEVER write negative reviews but I am fed up and cannot stand how rude and lazy the employees at this location are. They advertise this whole supposedly more fast and convenient way of checking out process by directing you to an employee who is capable of checking you out without having to wait in the customer service/cashier lines. But when you actually go to the employee, they rudely tell you to go to a different employee because they're going to take a while with who they're currently helping. When you go to the next employee, they tell you the same thing? I might've as well waited in the customer service/cashier lines. This has not only happened once, twice, or three times, but FOUR times. Next time this happens, I will be throwing out names of every single employee that does this. It is unacceptable. A little advice- Do NOT offer this "fast check out process" at this location or hire employees who have great customer service skills and are happy to be working for the company. Thanks! read more

I'm not the type of customer that expects an employee to bend over backwards for me but my last visit to this Nordstrom Rack was beyond disappointing. I've worked in retail from entry-level positions all the way up to managerial positions so I understand that sometimes it can be tough as an employee to please everyone. That being said I was in the men's department for over an hour and not once did I even get a hello. I did see a few things I liked and I know that sometimes there is extra backstock in the stockroom but I didn't even bother to ask an employee for help since they didn't seem to want to help. Two different employees in the department Saw me a number of times but said absolutely nothing. It wasn't busy nor was there a long overbearing line to keep them from trying to assist customers on the sales floor. I'm writing this not only for myself but for the other six gentlemen that were in the department that also didn't get greeted throughout the time that I was there. I finally decided on something and wanted to just get out due to my bad experience and was going to utilize the mobile check out option up until I heard one of the employees that was on this men's sales floor tell 2 to 3 different customers that approached her to get rung up that she wasn't ringing up people at the moment and that they would have to go up towards the front to another line. One of the customers responded that he just came from up there and they seemed to be having technical difficulties so he figured he could get rung up back here with her since she wasn't with anyone but she made it seem like an inconvenience to her. Needless to say, i put back what I wanted to buy and left because I refuse to have to beg someone to ring me up for my merchandise. read more

I try to avoid this place if I can due to how busy it always is. I will say that it's a great place for finding the big labels at a much lower price. In my case - pants for extra long legs. I hate spending a lot of money on clothes that are bound to go out of style within 6 months but when it comes to jeans/pants it seems only the high end stuff fits the way it's suppose to without making me look like I'm ready for the next flood. SO that is my main reason for going here. The line is normally super long and on more than one occasion it goes all the way to the back of the store and wraps around. I think an easy solution would be to have all cashiers up front but they haven't seemed to figure that out yet. I also think that the prices on shoes aren't really much of a deal. Again I understand that there are shoes out there that started at $400.00 (and why people buy into that boggles my mind, but to each their own) so even when they're marked down to $150.00 I'm still not excited about it. They're shoes people. read more
