I really enjoy shopping at this store because the customer service is out of this world! I appreciate the luxury brands and their vignettes to highlight their brand selections. Great selection of fragrances which is important to me. The store doesn't feel as upscale as the Beverly Hills location which I'm used to shopping at. There were many racks with 70% off which I thought was unusual. This store is set back from El Paseo so make sure to take that into account. read more

I had a delightful shopping experience with Jane today. Jane went above and beyond to provide a warm and welcoming environment for my husband and I. She is such an excellent sales associate but even a better person. Jane is knowledgeable, highly professional, friendly and a gem! Can't wait to visit Saks again soon, and shop with her again. read more

I don't stop into Saks Palm Desert often--usually just for special occasions--but every time I do, the experience stands out for all the right reasons. Most recently, I was helped by Patricia W., and her service was truly excellent. I don't have a relationship with the staff, but I've always found everyone here to be consistently professional, welcoming, and respectful. Patricia was no exception. She was warm, helpful, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I had stopped in to pick up a small retirement gift, and once again, the complimentary gift wrapping was a huge plus. It's that extra touch that keeps me coming back here when I need something thoughtful and beautifully presented for a birthday, a thank-you, or any special moment. Even if you're just picking up something small, the experience at this Saks location feels elevated--and Patricia made it especially memorable this time. read more

One of my favorite stores in the desert. This is definitely a high end store. But you get first quality merchandise. They carry almost anything you need to look your best. Both fot men and women. Fashionable womens clothing. Purses, shoes, makeup, jewlry, they have it all. And just experience of shopping here is worth the price.. read more

This Saks in the El Paseo shopping area in Palm Dessert is much smaller than many other Saks Fifth Avenue stores, but the friendly and attentive store associates make shopping here a much more enjoyable experience than many other locations. Their offerings are mainly cosmetics and fragrances, women's clothes & accessories, and a small collection of men's apparel. The front entrance of the store off El Paseo is beautifully landscaped, but a drawback is that the front entrance is a bit cumbersome and lengthy for entry. If driving or needing special assistance, use the parking lot entrance at the rear of the store off Shadow Mountain Drive. read more

Fabulous store with excellent customer service and incredible staff. Must visit the fragrances department with a unique selection of products at exceptional prices!! read more

The store is very expensive, so keep that in mind! The associate that was working here, was able to help me find what I wanted out of the selection of stuff they had here. I found an amazing coat that I was wanting, and it fit perfectly! Eveyrone here was great. Looking forward to coming back read more

Diana w/ at Saks 5 th Ave in Cosmetics, who assisted us on this past Saturday , was the most patient and professional Sales Professional I have ever encountered. Her knowledge, Personality , and 'Elegance made for a memorable experience. Saks imo is fortunate to have such a representative on their team. ---Mark read more

If I could give a ZERO to the ALTERATIONS department I would. They are good for hemming but if you need any other work done on an evening gown DO NOT go here. I went for the first fitting and things were not fitting right- the work that needed to be done had not been done- and after their second attempt they simply ruined it to the point that the dress no longer fits properly- Awful. Take it to a dedicated bridal tailor. Was not cheap either. read more

I "love" how... when you search for Saks Fifth Avenue, you get their general profile. NOT their SAKS for each location like Beverly Hills, Palm Desert & Orange County... oh no! It's a composite review for all of them. Each store should be addressed differently and have their own Yelp profile. After all, each SAKS location, appeals to an entirely separate & completely regional type of clientele. Apparently this company refuses to separate their reviews by store location. This particular store in Palm Desert is particularly steered toward women 70, 75, 80 and older. I can't seem to get away from brands like Retrofete, Khaite, Aje, Andamane, Atelier Versace, BA&SH, Badgley Mischka, Baum und Pferdgarten, ByTiMo, Carolina Herrera, Chiara Boni, Chloe, Derek Lam 10 Crosby, Dodo Bar Or, Eberjey, Emilio Pucci, Escada, Etro, Farm Rio, Gottex Swimwear, ILA, JW Anderson, Lanvin, LoveShackFancy, Marchesa Notte, MISA Los Angeles, MUNTHE, PatBO, RHODE, & Saloni. Every single one of these brands I've either purchased an item from the line or have tried some of the articles from that season's collection. I've tried again and again and with NO success to be able to bring these brands into my wardrobe wholeheartedly but they all make me look 30 years older. I don't want to look 30 years older. We are ALL going to get there one day... god willing... but why should I rush it and dress like an 80 year old before I'm 80??? I realize that Palm Desert is a seasonal place and most of the clientele will already have their outfits figured out before coming to the Coachella Valley for the season... However (!).. it gets old when you want to see what a particular brand is doing, up close and personal, and the only thing you can do is look at the collection online. Some of the collections will be in its completion like Zimmerman and LaDoubleJ...however several brands are missing signature pieces in the current collection as displayed at the store level. I'm far too young to wear the brands mentioned previously. It makes for a very difficult shopping experience to shop at SAKS ..pretty much anywhere there is a SAKS. I am not buying full length sequined dresses nor do I want to look ancient. I can't even stand the sequined look anymore. It's a look that is over and done with and should be relegated to hollywood starlets or starlet wannabe's. I've become more conservative as the years have droned on, but I am by no means ready to wear clothes that are designed to look good on 80 year olds! read more

Very helpful staff, however they need to add more selection to the mens section. If you are looking for Ferragamo, this is the place. I got the best Ralph Lauren Jacket that I saw down the street at the Lauren store for about half off. I left here and went to their Saks off 5th avenue store nearby. That will be another review read more

Had an amazing experience at this location! Was told by an associate who worked in the purse department (Gergenes I believe), at which the shoe department associate was not aware of. They got the manager involved and granted the promotion. All three were so kind and worked together to ensure we had a great experience. Thank you Gergenes, Sam & Sylvain! We will be returning. read more

I've been shopping at Saks since the downtown PS location existed! But must give a shout-out to Anastasia! She is my favorite! She is the friendliest woman and always has the same warm, genuine welcoming demeanor. I like that she always makes sure that I find what I need and if it's not immediately available- she goes above and beyond! She is an angel! I also appreciate the respect and assistance that I get whether I'm in for a quick pick up or looking to explore and shop! I come back because I know that Anastasia will take good care of me! As will the others from JoMalone and Acqua di Parma associates! Who will also always give me as long as I need to decide what I want with no pressure, they are quick to share promotions and recommendations but never obnoxious or intrusive- reason why I love shopping here. Thanks Anastasia, for being a true gem in this store! See you again soon! read more

Small, but has the basics. Great team and always there to help. Can't ask for more. Store is very clean read more

What happened to Saks Fifth Avenue ? I worked for them 18 years and what I experienced at the Palm Desert store was humiliating. Saks is where you are supposed to feel listened to and catered to when buying something for a special occasion. Today I looked online for a vendor thar Saks sells. I found the vendor section but when I asked Pearl for help. I got scolded and asked what Saks location I needed. I said this one Palm Desert. I didn't want off 5th She asked me the same question again It was so weird. I wasn't in the wrong place. I only wanted to know if they had the item in stock. She walked me over to the section and said look for it. Thank god another associate heard and offered to help. Times for retail are bad. I was planning to spend at least 1000 dollars. When I worked for Saks the customer came first. I won't be coming back. read more

Saks Fifth Avenue - Women's Clothing Near Me - Palm Desert, California

This is now my Review #500th. I've always liked this brand & branch here at El Paseo, Palm Desert whenever I would visit Palm Desert. because they carried such a variety of brands here to choose from. Like all other Outlet 'Saks Fifth Avenue,' stores, they hold the following sections of items in store that catch your eyes~ Handbags, cosmetics, fragrances, shoes, clothing, accessories and other accessories and more..... These sections came from the top of my thoughts. I would definitely drop by this store if anything. This is a long overdue review, though! I'll be back again next trip! read more

The staff is amazing! They would get 5 stars - hands down. So why the 3 stars? What happened to the fashion?! The entire first floor is overpriced Forever 21. Head upstairs and suddenly you're accosted by Dilliards/Macys fashion for the elderly matron. This used to be a great store with great fashion. What happened? read more

I really do love coming to this Saks Fifth Avenue they have a phenomenal selection and a staff always willing to serve when you're looking at the colognes and perfumes they give you free samples so awesome don't forget whenever you come to Saks 5th Avenue look at the shoes they have amazing selection of shoes. They also have many perfumes and purses. Harder to shop with a mask. read more

Saks Fifth Avenue - Great Saks 5th - Women's Clothing Near Me - Palm Desert, California

My boyfriend and I are a younger couple we live behind El Paseo so we go all the time to walk around, you can't do anything in peace in this store they follow you around everywhere nonstop questions. I went to buy a YSL purse and was looking at the selection we then had Diana from the perfume section come over and not only trying to pressure us to buy a $500 perfume which we already have before and once we told her weren't interested she stopped talking to us literally walked away and just acted like we wasted her time we bought the purse the next day when she was not in. read more

While, they seem to carry some beautiful merchandise, their service is unacceptable. First we were so a pair of men's shoes that retailed at $850 and had a nail sticking up out of them. When my husband wore the replacement pair, and they were very uncomfortable, that only did the sales personally refuse the return, he said all the managers were on conference calls, and would not speak to us. There is a reason why we typically shop at Nordstrom or Bloomingdale. Service is everything. read more

As a full time resident of Palm Desert, I know how hard it is to get good help. It's why a lot of businesses fail here. That being said, the older, white haired sales lady that works in the contemporary woman's wear downstairs by the exit doors is insufferable. I have been in THREE times to browse through the Cinq a Sept section and she leeches on to me and even when I tell her I'm just looking, she stares and stands WAY too close, making me completely uncomfortable and I end up leaving quickly. I'm trying to find a dress for a wedding and I purposely go alone (without friends) because I want to not feel rushed or have anyone I need to speak with or share opinions about certain clothing with. This woman makes me completely uncomfortable and I just end up leaving. She is not friendly either, just irritating. When they fire her, I'll come back and hopefully give 5 stars. read more

Sunday, June 19, 2022 A really good experience. The store is well vendorized. And the staff is very professional. In particular, Keith Ellingson in Customer Service. Recently, I had an issue with an order. After a few minutes, Keith made it 100% perfect. (Thank you Keith!) read more

As of today, Saks Fifth Ave owes me $1,102. Please help. read more

Horrible! Bought a Michell watch wore it ounce it pitted and it was very noticeable after one time wearing it. They were not at all nice even with 2 of the store managers coming over. They said they couldn't do anything after wearing it one day! They said if I bought the watch with diamonds it wouldn't show up. They said I should take it to a jewelry store and have it buffed off at my expense,after wearing it ounce. They were horrible and I shop there a lot! No more and other people said that was crazy! Don't shop there is you want to be treated fairly. Never Again ! read more

I love to buy my cosmetic at Saks Palm Dessert. The customer service is great and the deluxe samples and amazing gift with purchases are the best. Every person I've met there is helpful. I love when these serve iced lemonade. It is just what you need to keep you shopping. read more

Saks Fifth Avenue - Love Trish McEvoy make up and skin care. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Though I have enjoyed shopping at the men's department at Saks 5th Avenue on El Paseo many times during past trips, today was a major let down. An older, well dressed gentleman by the name of Andy could not have been more rude and haughty. When I asked where the dressing rooms were he pointed aggressively to the other side of the department in a gesture that almost emulated a Hitler salute. Since the dressing rooms were locked, I had to seek him out to unlock the room, during which he muttered "they're usually unlocked." All this while not apologizing for the inconvenience or offering to take the garments I was trying on and hang them for me. He may have been well dressed, but his demeanor and lack of gentility and basic customer service etiquette was unacceptable. Certainly makes me think twice about returning if that's the caliber of staff Saks is employing lately. read more

Very small mens section compared to the LA location but the service from the staff is extremely better than LA! I'm speaking specifically for the mens department. Ed was amazing and ended up buying some slippers from him in the end, even though I was there just to return an item. read more

Had a great experience in this location browsing for more blouses. Somehow, this location had plenty of print/color options in my favorite lines. The staff are helpful and pleasant. I was trying on dozens of pieces, and was fed wraps/cheeses/fruits/cupcakes throughout. Would recommend this location for shirts, as the options were endless. read more

The service is great! This store is very well kept. Love the cosmetic department. Everyone is very informative on their products. This is my first stop for merchandise that were just released. read more

Although this location is small, I like that it is very easy to find anything and I have found that each time we shop here the attention and service is outstanding. It's usually not that busy so I am very surprised by the negative reviews. I find the salespeople tripping over each other to be friendly and helpful. I have never had a problem waiting for help and in fact have really enjoyed some very animated conversations while shopping. Great place to pick up a nice gift for someone special. The men's department is very tiny. However, all the more space for the perfumes, handbags, lingerie, and shoes...., definitely not a tomboy anymore. read more

Saks Fifth Avenue - Women's Clothing Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Blah. Came in waiting for a reservation and like most department stores, the mens section is tiny. I came in (just came from a hike in workout clothes) and to be honest, the selection was pretty good. I was acknowledged by a sales associate and walked around. I was looking at outwear and tried probably 5 jackets on. NO HELP, NO CONVERSATION from the sales associate at all. Hmmm. I get it, I may have not looked like someone who was going to buy the jacket, but at least acknowledge what I'm doing...there was NO ONE ELSE THERE. Long story short, I flew back home and ordered the jacket online. read more

I really like Saks! It seems to be even more friendly than Nieman Marcus :-) Approx 80% of my clothes lately have been purchased at Saks. The store is perfect for me - maybe TOO perfect; there was once a time when I owked more on my Saks card than I did on my car ;-) Highly recommended!! read more

Dropped by the make up counter because I was curious about La Mer and seriously considering buying it. It was like the scene from pretty woman . The sales woman's vibe was so condescending. I had just come from a massage and looked a little disheveled. Everything question I asked seemed like she was annoyed to answer. Please listen, if I'm going to spend $300- $400 on a crème you may want to SELL it to me. Please tell your staff not to judge a book by its cover. It's a really bad look Saks ugh. read more

Jasmine i was the best cosmetic sales girl ever! Not sure why she left. I miss her expertise in lipstick selection. This girl could mix 2 lipstick colors together like magic. I'm glad I got my nude lipsticks from her by Bobbi Brown. read more

I love this store and so glad it is still here and in business. Saks is an institution and this isn't San Diego, Beverly Hills or San Francisco etc... Although we are a resort community close to Los Angeles that attracts celebrities and money we are still a smaller community. Having said that, this store has the elegance and the ambiance of any of the larger high end stores that are out there. Selection here is great so I don't agree with some of the one star reviews on here. As for customer service, it is hit or miss here JUST LIKE ANYWHERE ELSE!! Let's face it, customer service everywhere has gone downhill. Every place you go people are obsessed with their cell phones & even sit in traffic on the phone, drive in traffic on the phones and don't care! I have always had good service here where they have gone above and beyond for me. I am no one special just a local shopper with an okay income. They have been helpful and respectful. I will support this store as much as possible. read more

I came in today hoping to find a bag. I walked in no one wanted to come help me. The workers didn't approach me and I had to ask for help. The staff is so disrespectful, I saw people who came in after me and were immediately greeted and helped. This place is straight up racist. Nancy was the associate I approached and she blandly did not want to help me. I had to call a manager. Avoid this place if you are any other skin color color but white. I am reaching out to corporate to file a case and from the looks of the past reviews. I am not the first person who they have discriminated against. read more

I exercised/walked to Saks to buy a new pair of sunglasses. Needless to say, I was not dressed up but in exercise gear. I walked into Saks and went straight to the sunglass department, picked up the sunglasses and waited near the cash wrap to pay for them. There were two sales associates who were both fawning over and chatting with two well dressed women. The women did not appear to be purchasing anything but had both sales associates fully engaged. So, I stood there and waited. When the two well dressed women finally departed, I thought, "Oh good, it's my turn." I stood there and stood there, feeling invisible waiting to purchase the Chanel sunglasses. After nearly 20 minutes had passed, I finally placed the sunglasses on the counter and walked out. I felt like I was being treated like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. So disappointing! read more

Expensive but very friendly store. The place to go to when you want to spurge or buy a gift for those special friends and family members.

I went to Saks on El Paseo yesterday for the first time in about a year to splurge on some shoes because traditionally, Saks has a great selection. I was so disappointed by the limited choices. They no longer carry Jimmy Choo and I did not see Gucci either. No one acknowledged my existence and for me that is a deal breaker. No HI, no BUY. read more

Regina in the shoe department was wonderful - attentive - not pushy - and very helpful. She even offered me a fashion tip on a pair of shoes that I never would have thought on my own - think rolled up striped socks and jeans with my new vintage looking Fendi open-toe shoes! I have bought two pair of shoes at SAX Fifth Ave in Palm Desert that, frankly, I would not have indulged in if I was at home. Still, they are two of my favorite pairs and they are forever shoes. One thing I am learning is that I take better care of my nicer products, they last longer, and I feel like my feel deserve them ! They take me so many places... Ask for Regina in Women's shoes. read more
