Jasmine was super helpful and it was very busy! I appreciated her patience with assisting me! She took her time answered all of my questions and handled my transaction. She also referred to me by name which I appreciated...great customer service! read more

The worst customer service ever. I'm a huge Sephora customer but I have to warn others for their perk treatment . This is a joke. A cold spray on the face then a small harsh plastic with low suction (that did nothing) is pressed on your face by a young employee that said it was going to take out the pores. When she came to the eye area she still pressed hard and I had to stop her after 4 min of agony. Now I had red small circles around my eye sockets. She then said that's how she was trained and was going to talk to the manager. Came back to tell me next time it will not be something I can cancel and was having a tone. I said there will Ofcourse Not be a next time and how you are treating the sensitive eye area is wrong. And pores don't even open with cold water. She said that how she was trained. Sephora need to stop with that horrible machine. I needed to buy makeup for 200 dollars because I'm out of everything, (that why when I heard of this I thought why not) but I was so upset I went out empty handed. read more

Had THE BEST EXPERIENCE because of sales associate KEANU ( forgive me if i spelled it wrong) WOW! He made my friends 17 year old daughter look totally natural in full foundation & blush paying special attention to young girls skin issues . He is helpful , a great makeup artist & super fun personality . I will come back to sephora because of Keanu but seriously Keanu you have a TON of talent & should put effort into getting into the industry ! YOU ROCK! read more

Everytime I am in this location I am followed around the store. I love Sephora and I usually only go when I know exactly what I am going to buy. I was asked if I needed help 4 times (one girl asked me twice). This did not include the times I caught employees staring at me or hovering over me as I was swatching eyeliners. My sister caught one guy who I'd already said "no thanks" to (he kept asking me to try Urban Decay eyeliners---been there, done that) standing over me as I was swatching the Fenty eyeliners, he walked away awkwardly when my sister caught him staring at me. I have decided to never, ever give my money to this location again. Worst Sephora I have been to, I suggest you avoid it as well. read more

Sephora TOPANGA location: There's usually 1-2 people who have amazing customer service. So kind and knowledgeable on their product. The others floating around are just working for their dollar. Totally fine. 5 stars for the wonderful person "NiNi" and 1 for this Sephora having such poor customer service overall. I had an exchange + a purchase which I'd be spending at this store #730. The lady at register did not have an inviting attitude. It's like the moment I told her I had an exchange is when her attitude changed. This isn't the first time I've experienced bad customer service here. I just go with hopes that it'll be more fun "next time". It's not ever fun in this Sephora. I do not recommend this location for those who want a pleasant shopping experience. read more

The Thai lady who works here (Intira, I think?) was a doll. She put a mask and moisturizer on my face, discussed my skin with me, introduced me to the Ren brand, and so much more! She was super sweet and made my shopping day. Go see her! read more

Usually I just go to Sephora to get product and leave but I figured it was finally time to really get my foundation match and figure out what to do about my dry skin, too. One of the girls with short black hair (I don't remember any names, I'm sorry!!!) helped me to my foundation match for both myself and my little sister. We are SOOO happy to have ended our foundation search that matches our different skin colors/textures. She was so helpful and friendly and got the correct color spot on for both of us. As for skincare, I have dry skin, as well as my cheeks are red and irritated. I went in knowing nothing about skin care and one girl with long blonde hair helped me pick out a cleansing oil and matching cream. I've been using the products for not even 2 days now and the irritated red patches on my cheeks are already beginning to go away. Very happy with the courteous staff here and my products as well! :) read more

I scheduled an apt for a makeover at 11AM and wasn't seen until 11:30. I was in a rush for a wedding and unfortunately this store did not exceed my expectations. read more

I always appreciate an employee who's willing to help, but I was approached about 4 times by the same person within 15 minutes asking if I needed help. Honestly felt like I was being followed around the store. She kept looking at my hands too which made me feel pretty uncomfortable and almost judged. Maybe they're trying to show their attentiveness but it's a bit much. Try to cool it with how many times you approach someone who is shopping on their free time! I assure you I would ask for help if I need it. read more

My friend and I were shopping at this location today and literally cornered by 7 different employees. Not sure why you have so many employees while the store is dead but, it would be nice to shop in peace without being followed and cornered by every employee. I never have this problem at the Northridge location, it came across as aggressive. If you are that over staffed & slow, send people home! Nothing worse when you are shopping then being followed & bombarded by multiple employees. Because of that, I would never go back to this location. Left a sour taste in my mouth read more

I wanted to find a foundation. I asked for assistance and they placed me with a guy, who was probably in a hurry because he took some skin scanning to find my color then quickly got a foundation, spread it on one cheek and that was all. I tried to find someone else for help and I found Gaby. I HIGHLY recommend her because she is amazing. Plus, when she found out it was my birthday she ended up giving me a full mini makeover for free. She's great, girls. read more

Have been at Sephora in many locations: Paris/France, Las Vegas and many in California. I have to say that associates are always professional and their locations are spotless. I take my make up students to visit the Topanga Mall location at the beginning of the course so they can shop for anything they need, we have had a great experience. Store associates are knowledgeable and very gracious helping the students as needed. If the register is busy they will bring a mobile credit card terminal to the students to speed up their transactions. read more

I am the sort of girl that doesn't really like to browse for makeup. I go in knowing what I want and I leave with that I want. I don't need advice, I don't need to know everything about everything, I just want to buy one thing and leave. That's why I was so happy with this Sephora location. I had read online that Sephora was carrying a new tattoo cover up, so I went in and asked about it. The sales girl took me over, got me the right shade, and just like that I was done. There was no annoying let-me-show-you-how-this-works session, no upsale, it was all very cut and dry, down to business, just as I like it. If you are anything like me, you will like this location. read more

Up until this week I would have given them 5 stars but that's because I walk in already knowing what I want. I love going in and playing with all their make up then going home and researching it before going back to buy the products. I like to know exactly what I'm getting into before putting down my debit card. I love that it's always clean and that the staff is never hounding me. However, all that changed this week. I had some questions regarding a few different products I'd read about in the current issue of Allure. No one greeted me as I walked in and I couldn't fine a salesperson on the floor other than the two cashiers who were busy. I stood around near one of the brands I was curious about. Eventually someone came over and asked if I was doing ok. I said "No. I have some questions about this brand." She looked so scared! I was trying to decide between 2 colors and as I was explaining myself she kept looking around the store. She also seemed really nervous. She kept saying "Mmmhmm. Uh huh." while she looked everywhere but at me. When I was done she was like "So what exactly was your question?" I said, "Well I'm not sure which color would look best on me." She studied me and said "With your complexion you can't go wrong with either shade. It's really up to you and what look you're trying to achieve. Did I answer your question?" I said, "Yes, thanks so much! I guess I'll just keep looking." I'm not gonna lie, I'll keep coming back. I love Sephora too much as a whole to let this deter me. Instead of going in with questions, I'll be sure to do my research beforehand. read more

Very convenient location for me. They have everything I need and their employees are very helpful. Place gets crowded so I suggest coming here on a weekday morning/afternoon. read more

I had a big dress up event, so I decided to take the plunge and have my makeup done (for the first time in my life). I say "take the plunge" because I am a complete minimalist when it comes to make up. I've been doing my makeup the same way since college and I'm now 42. And, I've never really been shown how to DO makeup. Needless to say, I was a little nervous about my appointment. Boy, did I luck out! After arriving about 5 minutes late (parking that this mall is a nightmare, particularly on a Friday afternoon), I was greeted at the door by gorgeous Norma. When I told her I had an appointment, she said that she was waiting for me (but not in a rude way). We commiserated about the parking situation as she got me settled in. Norma listened closely as I told her my tale and she put me very much at ease with thoughtful questions to find out more about what i was hoping for for that evening. Throughout the whole process, she carefully explained each step and product and answered my many questions. There was no pressure to buy any particular product. I ended up buying an eye gel and the lip stain that we'd used that night. I found the staff that I interacted with to be nice, but Norma, especially, is quite a gem. Be sure to request her if you treat yourself to a makeover! read more

Asked for help from Stephanie very rude woman. Nasty attitude. No knowledge how to Communicate with customers. read more

Very good costumer service! I just went there to get some perfume for myself at the door I was greeted by a very beautiful young lady. She helped me to choose the perfume and even gave me a suggestion. Then, she led me to the cashier and I bought my roller ball perfume. read more

My rating is based on my experience with Miguel. He is by far the best makeup artist/associate I've encountered. I went into the store to find a foundation, he tested two on me and selected the best one that matched my complexion. When I asked him advice on a everyday eye shadow look, he seated me at the makeup station and picked out a product for me and taught me and another associate how to apply it. I've been to many other makeup stores and he's got the best technique and eye for picking out the colors that looked good on me. He definitely knows his stuff. I walked out of the store looking like a million bucks! If you are like me and don't know what products to get, ask for Miguel and he'll be able to help you. Now I know who to look for whenever I go to the Topanga Mall Sephora. read more

I love love love the selection of make-up lines, but honestly, I have the worst luck when it comes to them having in stock the exact item(s) I want. This happens almost every time, and I use several lines. and many different items. I think this is the best Sephora (Topanga Plaza) compared to the other stores in Southern Calif, but I agree with Nicole A........the employees are either very helpful or not helpful at all. It's kinda crazy that way. I'm fine browsing on my own, but when I can't find something and want assistance......but can't get any.......guess who becomes irate? Even with my lack of in-stock luck, I still manage to spend far more than I should. Too many fun things here !!! By the way, it was just last week at the JC Penney Sephora in Northridge that I had an issue with the cashier. She didn't ask me for my Sephora card or identifying info to log in for points, so when she finished my transaction, I said to her, "You didn't ask me for my card." She then tells me she forgot and that now that the transaction was complete, she'd either have to do a credit of that purchase and then re-enter as if I had none, or she'd give me a phone number for me to call to fix it. Not only that, she had an attitude about it. I told her many's a time that the cashier logs in AFTER she rings everything up, but this one insisted it was because they're inside JC Penney, and problems would ensue. I cut her off because that wasn't what I wanted to hear. I was angry because it was HER responsibility to remember to ask me for my ID info......it wasn't my responsibility. I just took my purchase and left. I will not be going back to THAT specific location again. Granted, I don't typically go to the one in Northridge, but I for sure won't in the future. read more

Love Sephora! So much make up, and I love that you get to try basically everything out here before you have to actually spend. I come here a lot because I can actually try out their stuff and know how it looks on me or how it feels on my skin. My favorite brands are Josie Maran, Urban Decay, Too Faced and Nars. All of these brands are amazing. They are all on the pricier side, but so worth it! Their stuff last wayyyy longer than other brands and pigments are much better which is why they are so expensive. All the naked palettes are so worth it. I have 1,2 and 3 and the smaller basic one too and I'm not even close to finishing any one of them! Make sure to ask for any samples you for any make up may be thinking about but don't want to try on at the store. I usually do this for face cleansers and toners since I don't want to try them out in the store and they always give you a small little container and a baggy with the brand and product labeled for you. That way, you can try it at home a couple of times, see how it looks or reacts with your skin, and then see if it's worth the money. Also, even if you do buy it and realize it's not for you, you can exchange it for something else. It can be used, but just don't be rude and use like more than half or a quarter, lol. If you ever need help, all the beauty associates are there for you. You can even ask them for a makeover and they will work with your skin type and what kind of look your looking for. I always do this which is why I've been getting better with my make up. Some associates are better than others, but that's just based on your make up preference. I say just take a look at everyone's make up, and if you see someone with make up you actually like or want something similar to, ask! They are more than willing to help. I always go for the more natural look so I found one girl who had minimal but gorgeous make up at a different location which led me into trying out the Josie Maran brand. Don't be afraid to try new brands. I used to sick to MAC cosmetics all the time because their colors were closest to my skin tone but I was always breaking out. Not worth it. Try out new brands. See what's good for you. You never know! read more

The selection of makeup is great, however the employees and the service is TERRIBLE. I walked in and not a single employee greeted my mom and I, on top of that I tried to ask for help from 2 people and was completely ignored. So frustrating! I love sephora but I will not Be back to this location... read more

I've been a rouge member for 15 yrs. this is my last year. They are nothing like they use to be. Everything about this place from their services, customer service, return/ exchange policy - its all HORRIBLE. Don't waste your time or money. Nordstrom & Bloomingdales has almost all the same brands, a points program, free gifts w/ purchase (no points necessary), mini make overs, etc. Go there instead. read more

This Sephora is really really annoying! I used to live near by and never found myself visiting this store. I was home for Christmas and stopped by to pick up a couples of gifts for my family. At check out, I wasn't asked if I was a rewards member and by the time I remembered to tell the girl ringing me up she said, "It's too late, your purchase already went through." Maybe it was too much of an inconvenience to go back and add my points, maybe there was really no way for her to do it. But at least be apologetic about it. Really bad customer service, I will NEVER shop here again. read more

I took a class called Makeup 101 here and I learned a lot. Everyone was super helpful. You can find any cosmetic you need here, I have always loved Sephora and all their products. My Xmas present to my sister was all my favorite sephora products from my favorite bronzer to my favorite mascara and she loved it. read more

Bare Minerals is great. Love Sephora. Have to focus focus focus or I will buy too much. read more

Excellent customer service! I only wish they had more products I like this place because they have friendly staff. I require a special cream for my skin and they are the only place I've been able to find it affordable for me. Which is important. The staff is kind and it always smells really good in the store. Skin care is something this store knows about and having the plethora of issues I have, the staff knows exactly where to walk me to just grab, pay and go! I recommend more MEN stopping in to get some advice over the age of 35! You're not getting younger and skin needs care! Plus they have great perks rewards system for points. read more

All the great stuff you love and need and a bunch of cool stuff you don't... This particular Sephora is filled with friendly and helpful kids who really know their stuff. Go ahead. Ask em anything about the stuff in there and you'll get the real 411. I honestly have never been steered wrong at a Sephora (not the ones in JC Penney, the regular standalone shoppes). I wouldn't hesitate to ask questions while there, the staff makes you feel right at home. I don't feel like a dork when I'm trying all this new stuff to look my best. TIP: this location is right off the dining terrace going towards Neiman's...super quick to find on level 2. read more

Customer service has improved overall. This store is always busy, but they also have a lot of employees that are available to help either immediately or within a few minutes. For the most part, this store is usually well stocked and has all the makeup items i need. read more

This is the local Sephora that I go to near my house. I would agree with some of the other reviewers on here that the customer service is kind of hit or miss. Sometimes, the customer service is great and you get somebody who is knowledgeable and eager to help out. Other times I feel like I have to really track somebody down to get a sample or to ask a question about something. What commonly happens to me too is that someone would ask me if I need help right when I walk in but when I'm browsing around and actually want to get a sample of something, there's nobody available. Another thing to note is that this Sephora is a little smaller than the other ones and I do find that it is a little disheveled. I personally do not like to go to the make-up stations at the kiosk ends to find that there isn't tissue available to wipe something off or the trash bin is dirty. I would like to give some credit though to this Sephora. There are associates here who are very nice and helpful. The trick is just getting one when you want one. read more

There only 3 people that work there. Literally 2 at the register and one "helping" I was "helped" for a minute by a cheerful girl and then lost her. I waited a good 20 minutes so I left. I have never left a sephora without purchasing (hence being a VIB member) This was so disappointing. I just wanted to see if they ha BB cream in my color Thank goodness I have sephoras in NYC I guess. read more

Saw many employees on the floor talking to eachother rather than greeting customers or talking to customers or helping customers. I was in the store for a while I went around the whole store three times and no one bothered to ask if I needed help. I went in bought a concealer, eyebrow pencil and skincare. If it werent for the love of my make up products I wouldn't bother to drive and visit the store and just order online even if it takes later to arrive. I also had a lot of points to redeem since I'm a VIB member and they had no products available. What a bummer. I'm very disappointed from this whole experience. read more

By far the best Sephora. Why well beacuse the girls that work there rock, not snotty and super helpful. Returns are never a problem! read more

I was reluctant to try this Sephora because of some of the recent negative reviews, but I decided to judge for myself, besides, I really needed some new products! I was greeted and asked how I could be helped and I shared that I needed a moisturizer and foundation that not only would not aggravate my roseacea but treat. Shay quickly came up with three options for the moisturizer and we checked out each one. I was thirlled with the one that I went with, Dr. Jart's Tiger Grass Cream. She then took me to someone with a ton of experience with makeup to help with my foundation. Thomas was also amazing! He knew exactly what would work, IT CC cream, would help with the roseacea in addition to providing good hydration. I love this product. It looks great and so far hasn't aggravated my skin. I felt so confident in his abilities and I enjoyed his demeanor that I asked him if he could identify a blush, lipstick and eye shadow for me. He shared this neat product by Bite. It's all 3 products in one. I never would have thought that something like this would work, but it did and I'm really enjoying it. When I checked out I was just so impressed by the entire experience that I asked to talk to the manager to tell her how very different it was from what I thought I might experience based on the reviews. I'm happy that I gave them a chance and am making this my home base Sephora! read more

The staff here is always friendly and ready to help. Last time I avoided going around high school let out time and I was fine. I was approached by 3 different people to ask if I needed help and the lady that ended up helping me was extremely nice. read more

I love sephora and the vast array of products but after reading some reviews here I agree their customer service isn't up to par. I feel like although they ask if I need assistance it's forced and the cashiers aren't as warm. I don't normally get greetings when coming and leaving. They don't have a lot of stock because the products I buy usually get sold out and they never seem to know when new stock will arrive. I'll still be a faithful customer but they do need to improve their customer service and stock. read more

Not entirely a huge fan of Sephoras in general because in my opinion, it's expensive. Some of their items however are the same price on amazon and at other retailers, and their selection is vast so I end up coming here when I need something. Agree with other posters that the people who work there have attitude, but I never have to deal with them really so it's not that big of an issue. They're always rearranging merchandise which throws me off when I go in, too. Hopefully they come out with some coupons in the future, I'd be more inclined to shop there if they did. read more
