I can find mostly what I need here even with the store being on the smaller side. The store is organized just enough to make sense of the layout on such things as skincare vs makeup, etc. At the register, they always ask if someone was helping me today. It's always a no. Not sure if I just don't look like I need help - but no one ever asks. read more

Linda can schedule the whole bridal party. Nails and feet for the whole group and bring wine

Everyone was very nice and offered me help finding my shade. Someone would help me and then I would browse a little and another associate would come by and ask if I needed anything. Every interaction was positive. read more

This 5 star review is for Marsha. She was working the register and saw that I was checking out with a shade that was too light for my skin tone. She walked with me to try out a new shade that was much better! Thank you Marsha from this Sephora!! read more

SEPHORA - Brown Mascara-August 2022. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This location is always busy. Somehow there's always something my wife needs for a date night that she can't live without so every time I'm there it's peak hours and I'm in a hurry, lol. If my wife has to go, the night is ruined. She's so much less stressed out if I go so it's totally worth the effort. The staff is always attentive and eager to help me find what's on the list or a close alternative. read more

The staff was incredibly kind as I wandered the aisles (Sephora is a treat for me and I had a gift card, so I wasn't too familiar with where everything would be!). Will absolutely be making the trip downtown to visit again! read more

The girl at cashier definitely don't want to work there, really bad mood. Shopping is fun, but shopping with that store sucks.

I have always had a great experience at this Sephora location. Once I was looking for a specific blush but did not see it out. After poking through the other colors I was asked if I needed help. Right away she checked the stores inventory on her device and saw there was 1 in stock. She checked in back but no, the inventory was off but immediately she offered to order it and have it sent to me without shipping costs. So great! She even rang me up right then on her device so I did not have to then wait in line. Love the mobile service that happened and I had my blush 2 days later. read more

SEPHORA - Treat yo self, I could not resist this palette from Melt - great colors for Thanksgiving - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This location can get a bit crowded but the selection is great! The staff is so friendly and nice. They don't pressure you to buy anything. I guess I am in the minority cuz I don't love how Sephora employees were always coming up to me in other stores when I'm just looking around... in this store you do have to go up to them first or flag them down but I don't mind that. I was doing the makeup beauty classes here before covid and they were amazing! I found my new go-to foundation through it. Sometimes it can be a little hard to figure out where a brand is - just ask someone and they will point you in the right direction. read more

This place can be hectic during the holidays, and that was it for me when I stopped by. It is the perfect place to purchase make-up gifts for Christmas. read more

Nice and helpful Team Associates. I stopped in with one of My Friends to see if Sephora carried this certain brand of Eye Glitter. There are friendly smiling faces as you enter the store to assist you. Nice Display's throughout the store. Attentive and helpful Sales and Floor Associates. I would come back and shop again. read more

I stopped in Sephora to check if they had a new perfume I wanted to try and WOW! Shaundra was so incredible. She found it right away and was super cool (+ she didn't give me the Pretty Woman treatment in my baggy tee, cubs hat, ratty shorts & earphones - power walking on a hot windy day along the lake ain't pretty ladies). As we talked we started talking about skin (girl had me at she also loves Retin A) and she introduced me to Lila (I know I totally misspelled it - it was an unusual spelling). Lila was also super helpful after listening to my skin concerns. Basically - giant pores that eat makeup. I used the sample primer she gave me at a family barbecue and I was pleasantly surprised that after 8 hours I still looked somewhat decent. So I will brave the mile next time I am in need of advice from these. Store is kept clean. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance. Find anything you need here. Get great recommendations. And if they are out of stock on anything, they will go above and beyond to find it for you online or another store. 5 stars! read more

I'm extremely disappointed with the companies pricing model. I purchased a 1.5 oz bottle of Mens cologne. When I began checking out I inquired about the price discrepancy. The employee did reassure the price was accurate. In my gut I felt something was off. I left the store and did research. I found the store was up charging me $35 dollars for this product. This will be my last purchase from this company, and honestly it will be returned. Be aware this company is price gouging compared to their competitors. read more

I popped into this Sephora after an insanely early flight to chicago from SF today. I was SO grateful to have found Meili! She helped me with some hair/skin product recommendations for a quick fix up post plane and en route to a work dinner when I realized I forgot to pack most of what I needed at home. Awesome and friendly staff- perfect location if staying downtown read more

This is the worst customer service ever very rode employees They kick us out after we bought our stuff because I asked them to let my younger brother in he left by accident never let him in again read more

Give yuri (i hope i spelled that right) a raise!!! That girl was so sweet ! She took me all around the store to not only help color match me but build a whole new makeup routine!! She made me feel safe , like she was actually trying to help not upsale me !!! Idk she made me feel so beautiful after we got all the products, i really cant thank her enough read more

You can find all your basics in this Sephora but i give it three stars for two reasons. 1. Employees - I'm generalizing here, but my personal experiences and opinion is that they kindaaa suck. Always standing around & talking to each other, and rarely offering their help. I always, always, always have to go up to someone to get assistance. That said, the customer service at the cash register is always top notch, Lolol. 2. Samples - Why do you all not put samples in the bag?? I always have to stop and ask for a sample please. Never have this happen at the Michigan Ave. location, so I'm uncertain of what the policy is. With that said, I prefer the online Sephora experience for actually purchasing repeat items. They offer a wider selection of samples and you get free shipping on orders over $50. read more

2 minutes ago Happy Halloween all of you who made me feel sp special today! So this review is for the very diligent, professional and hard working staff who truly impressed me with their friendliness, genuine helpfulness and dedication and passion for the work they do! Two weeks ago I called every single Sephora requesting a special makeup slot just for HALLOWEEN but sadly every location was solidly booked. I was encouraged to try again just in case there were cancellations and due to our bad weather many customers decided against coming here today so I was able to get a professional, theatrical makeover with the very kind, vivacious and creative Lila today. She definitely knew how to create a beautiful cat look for me and I felt to her it was a LABOR of love because the makeup was do convincing everyone everywhere I went did double takes and complimented me on my "cat look". I could have easily blended in with the actors in the play Cats this application was just THAT intriguing and convincing. Being here was the highlight of my day and customers are only required to purchase $50 worth of any products in the store. The location was busy enough today but the entire staff seemed happy to be there and everyone was in a good mood. The only thing that needed a bit of work was the fact that they had run out of their bonus point gifts because this seems to be a smaller store and a high volume of people come through here because it's a hub of activity and all the connecting train lines are downstairs. I definitely recommend Lila here for a dramatic look because she really spent a good deal of time with me and she truly wanted me to be completely satisfied. They have wonderful skincare products here and everyone here is about teamwork. read more

Big shout to Priscilla! Didn't know anything about the place, just went there to get a present for my wife and she totally save me

I went to buy dr jart sheet mask but I could not find it by the dr jart counter area so I decided to look around to get someone's help and I even waved but these two employees kept talking to each other and ignoring anybody who needed help. Never going back to this store. The store is always out of stuff and the staff are just so useless. read more

had the BEST experience here. The gentleman who works with Dior, I believe his name is Derrick but that could be wrong, helped me so much. I'd definitely recommend here. He went above and beyond to help me and made me a Dior fan for life. read more

Bad service! The gave spoiled bag for perfume. And they didn't help us to solve the problem.

I was on a business trip from NYC and stopped in to get some skin care products. Tamaria was supper knowledgeable and helped me find the perfect eye cream! I will definitely be back to seek her expertise when I'm back in Chicago! read more

Sephora is a beauty, skin care, and makeup supply store that represents myriad brands from high to low end. I like this one because the layout has a nice flow and organization, also, the selection of products seems a bit larger than a few other Sephoras. That seems so basic. But it's actually really important when shopping for those types of items that's its a relaxing and efficient experience. In my experience the employees seem more knowledgable and personable than many at department stores. Sometimes though a person knows what they want or just want to browse in contemplative thought and for that this place is brilliant because the items are not enclosed behind counters but in shelves and kiosks. So have at it and have fun. read more

Great customer service here as they aren't overbearing or stand off-ish I came by because they were only one of 3 places that carried Tom Ford cologne The girl that rung me up set me up with a rewards account and gave me additional info...good stuff read more

What can I say - this is the candy store for makeup lovers! I knew exactly what I wanted on today's visit so I didn't really need much help. I was greeted as soon as I entered the store and there was someone around to help me find the section that I was looking for when I did need help. The girl that rang me up at the register was the nicest. So polite and pleasant to deal with. Keep in mind that this location is in the loop and gets busy and loud. So if you're not a people person, I would avoid this location. read more

Re: Classes etc ENTRANCE BEFORE/OFF HOURS -- on Dearborn Street down to Blue Line after hours entrance, then escalator up to Sephora. None of the street level door to Block 37 is open. CLASS -- Show up by 9:00 am, no one is admitted by 9:15 am. 2 hours is quick, easy breezy. The instructor. The model. And other instructors per table to assist with products and individualize Q&A to reinforce class material. Quickly fills up. No last minute cancellations the day before class. But, 25% are no shows. I hope there will be a standby list in the future. CLASS SNACKS & COFFEE -- very much appreciated. Dunkin coffee and munchkins with mini bottled water. ROCKSTAR SERVICE -- to the left, my info was taken for the class (and she found me from the door greeter), and to the right, Ms Shayla is matching the perfect full coverage Sephora liquid foundation on my neck/chin. Say hello to Ms Shayla friends! GENERAL STAFF -- everyone is eager to help with excellent knowledge of products and keen understanding of your products wants and needs that is adjustable to one's budget. read more

This is my go-to Sephora, as the staff are unfailingly helpful and I am able to tick the items off my shopping list without ratcheting up my frustration level, as it almost always is at the Mag Mile location at the Shops at North Bridge. I came here yesterday with a shopping list a mile long of items to replenish as well as new goodies to scope out. The sales associate (I can't remember her name, but she is older, with dark hair and had helped me once before) located the Clarisonic replacement brush heads I needed right away. This was much appreciated, as it allowed me to get on to the fun part of my visit here. I ended up buying a couple of Clinique eye and lip chubby sticks in the new palette along with some pricey Caudalie serum that, now that I am north of 30, is no longer a discretionary item. When I got up to the cash register, I was able to whip out my trusty VIB Insider Card and claim my birthday surprise (for September, a sweetly packaged set of lipstick, mascara, and eye color minis). I also redeemed some points for a couple of freebies: a smaller serum (Lancôme Genefique) and a travel-ready tube of Benefit's PoreFessional (or, as I like to call it, spackle). Now that I am well stocked I will probably not be back for a while, but I am grateful to the helpful staff and stress-free shopping vibe for helping get me prettified for fall. read more

Overall it' s usually busy, I mean this is on State Street and it's also part of Block 37. Every time I come here, even if it's for one item, I designate at least 30-45 minutes due to the line and or browsing around for items I may or may not actually need. Love the free classes they offer, just need to sign up early enough to get a spot. It's hit or miss with assistance but I can say that more often that not the sales associates will acknowledge me and get back to me as soon as they are done with another customer. They have a VIB (Very Important Beauty) program, it's free and you get freebies along with some nice items once you have enough points. They offer 3X's point opportunities around the Holidays. read more

This is a very convenient location right in the Loop. It's in Block 37, and has an entrance on State. I find that sometimes the store is crowded, which can make it hard to browse. They could definitely benefit from an expansion if they had the room to. I always find what I need here. I don't think there's been a time when they were out of stock of things I needed, but I can imagine the more popular items go fairly quickly. read more

Not a very large selection at all. Usually the employees just kind of ignore my presence even if I look lost. And when I have asked employees for help they look at me like I'm weird or have something on my face. Okay, well at least my makeup isn't caked on with a ton of eyeshadow and winged liner to my temples. Besides, there's a ton of mirrors in there and I know nothing was on my face. It's a bit farther if you're already in the loop but I recommend to go to the Michigan ave location. MUCH larger, nicer employees, and I always find what I'm looking for. read more

Never get any help in this location. The workers literally walk past me without asking if I need any assistance. It's very frustrating especially when you see them asking everyone else if they need help with anything. read more

My wife & I are huge Sephora fans in general, but on this particular visit, the staff really went above and beyond. Four different employees assisted my wife as she had various questions about waterproof mascaras and eye makeup removers (while I posed for selfies with our dog in the try-on mirrors.) I wish we had gotten everyone's names so that we could shout them all out, but the only one we caught was Hayley, who seemed to be manager....she answered all the mascara questions and gave great recommendations. But EVERYONE we interacted with was patient, kind, and knowledgeable, and we left with a few extra samples to boot. Hayley, big thanks to you and your awesome team for taking such great care of us!! read more

The last few times I've come they have been out of stock with some items, the the people working there are always really friendly and offer to help. They even offered free shipping to my place for an item that they ran out of in store. Lots of employees also trying to give me a basket for me to put my items in when I said multiple times I didn't need one lol! read more

I LOVE Sephora at most locations, but this location wasn't one of my favorites. I went because it was convenient location-wise. I walked in, and an employee greeted me, but just turned away afterwards. In the first fifteen minutes that I was roaming around none of the employees (there were at least four, one seemed to be in training) that walked by me without saying anything! So, I got to go on a little scavenger hunt for TARTE which resulted in having to walk around the front half of the store about three times before I finally found the section. I had to go up to two employees chatting with each other in order to ask another question about makeup too! Another one: I had my hand out (I was standing in front of it when they walked over) as an employee walked over with another customer to show the customer a product... and she didn't care about my personal space, she was pushing (lightly, in her defense) my arm as I was trying to grab something! Communication, please! The only reason I'm giving three stars is because the girl at the register was extremely sweet. Summary: I'm happy because I was able to find what I wanted by reading reviews through the Sephora app, but not happy about physically being in this location. read more

DANNY @ Sephora on N State St in Chicago, IS AMAZING! Every time I come into the store he knows exactly who I am, he is very knowledgeable, kind, funny, and passionate about his job. I will never buy makeup from any store ever again, Danny has sealed the deal with his impeccable customer service. He is such a pleasure to shop with. He is the absolute best. read more

If Ulta is a college kid, Sephora is their chicer, more wealthy sister. You won't find drugstore brands, but the selection is vast. This location is much better than the one in Water Tower - friendlier employees and laid out better. The staff is more than happy to take you around and show you options and answer your questions, then leave you alone to look. That's my favorite way to shop. Make sure to sign up for their Beauty Insider program to gain points and try the Pantone IQ tester to find your perfect base color. I did it and am SO happy not to waste money buying the wrong color foundations anymore, plus once you pick one you like they'll do you makeup for you at no charge. The nice lady that helped me was super knowledgeable and didn't bat an eye when I asked for a cruelty-free option (she actually knew which ones were not tested on animals, unlike the staff at Ulta). Oh and the nail bar is super fabulous too. If you love makeup, definitely shop here. read more
