Sally Beauty Supply of Tinley Park is one of the greatest cases of OCD I have ever laid eyes on. The good people at the DSM really should get in here to classify this higher level of order- stat!
There are things I go to Sephora for, there are things I go to Ulta for and there are things I go to Sally for. We've all been (ladies) and we all know there are different levels that each operate at and that's why we love them. Sometimes I want a $32 nail polish, sometimes I want my mid-range liquid eyeliner, and sometimes I want less frills, more function and down to Earth pricing. Sally may be the smallest and least flashy of the 3 stores mentioned, but they do a body and more importantly, a wallet, good with their selection and superior pricing.
I have to be frank here, when I first walked into SBS of Tinley Park I was a little shocked. Was this even a Sally? I really don't expect much in terms of product display, store orientation, and basic things that a regular consumer might find appealing to the eye, but this Sally does it right.
The floor: Bright and spotless! Not a scuff on it. I think they might have adopted my grade school's gymnasium rule of no dark soled shoes allowed in the store. Normally, this isn't something I take notice of, or even care too much about, but it was such a stark contrast here in comparison to the many other Sally's I frequent. Night & day.
The display: Laces out, Dan! Everything, no joke, EVERYTHING is perfectly aligned with labels out, shelves are clean, products are all even in front and there's not a speck of dust to be seen. Somewhere in this store lies a very merry & obsessive compulsive individual, and I for one am thankful and would like to formally extend an invitation for them to come to my house and organize my ish.
The apology: I'm sorry I spilled my latte on the counter as you checked me out. I got excited about my new SBS goodies and my flail-y arm motions got the best of me. Thanks for not getting mad or kicking me out, and I promise to be better next time. Scout's honor.
SBS,
C.U. Soon!
