I absolutely love this store everyone is very friendly! Every time I have gone I'm completely blown away with their customer service and the knowledge of the product that the employees have is amazing!! Especially Angela R. Always greets with a smile and is so happy to help she makes you feel special and beautiful and she always finds the best product that will work for me!!! She helped me find a great eye and make up remover, foundation, powder, lipstick and lip gloss!! I love them all!! Highly recommend Angela and Sephora products!! read more

SEPHORA - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Modesto, California

This Sephora seriously is the worst! Everyone I go in there I have bad experience, the girls who work here act too good to be working there. No one is helpful!! It's like they are doing you a favor if you ask for help. I would rather go to the Sephora inside jcpenney but they don't have all the brands. I definitely don't recommend this store. read more

I got my wife a $50 gift card for her birthday and she loves Sephora! When we walked in noone greeted us and when people came in right after us they were getting greeted and were helped right away. We spent almost 30 minutes NOT one person came to help. We told the girl at the register, Lexi how bad it was and she was the only friendly one. Honestly we felt very offended especially because I got her the gift card and for us especially her a loyal customer to be treated like that was insulting. She likes Ulta too and we will most likely go there where we are treated better and have never had issues. Lexi offered her free samples my wife turned it down and told her we didn't want free stuff. They treated us like we had no $$$ mind you my wife paid $70 + dollars. read more

Every time I come to this Sephora I always receive great customer service. Alex and Kash are always on top of their stuff and know exactly what they are talking about. I appreciate the help and let me just say Alex is a kick ass manager. read more

I've never been into a Sephora and my sister was really excited to take me there. I understand a lot of people shop lift and the employees are trying to be helpful but I felt more harassed than helped . At one point an employee grabbed the two things I had in my hand and took them away and came back with them in a basket . I guess I would rather ask for help than have 10 people come and ask me if I need anything . I'm pretty disappointed with my experience to be honest . I didn't end up getting anything because I felt like I couldn't just enjoy looking . read more

Bad Customer Service. Waiting long for assistance and did not ring out all items. They lost money from me that day. Not going back. I'd rather shop online. read more

Not bad service, one thing I notice when I've walked here few times is one of the Sephora dolls are ready to help.. the 3 stars factor? While I am looking to buy something they seem to still follow me and make suggestions, mind you I am trying on colors looking at products etc... I dislike being hounded, and like to be asked once if I need anything. I'm not a fan of being followed around and being offered suggestions, i feel this is pushy & pressurring to have an obligation to buy something if tried on. Otherwise not a bad place, just the helpers have to give some space, I don't think I look clueless when I'm shopping there. I haven't had this experience in the bay area. read more

I recently went into Sephora and had a terrible experience with their customer service. First of all, I had to ask for assistance several times before recieving any help. I was told that they were short on staff and were very busy, but saw a few employees standing around and leaping to help other customers entering the store. I was told to sit and wait for someone to assist me. I sat there for a very long time, all the while I saw other people being assisted who had come into the store after me. I was not taken seriously as a customer, judging by lack of attention and willingness to assist me. Secondly, one of the employees was extremely rude (every time I asked a question, I could see her exchange glances with another employee and make faces) as if I was being such a hassle to them. At first, I tried to just ignore this, but after a while it became irritating and frustrating. I spoke with the manager, and she offered me a free makeup session as compensation. However, during the makeup session, the same employee I had complained about was present, making it highly uncomfortable because she knew I had complained about her. The makeup artist did half of my face, then told me we were out of time. I didn't think it made sense to only do half of someones face.....she had to call over her manager and ask if it was alright to finish the rest of it even though my time was up. It was absolutely ridiculous! And the employee who I complained about, who obviously doesn't like me very much, said to her manager (a different manager than the one I had complained to the other day) that I did not actually pay for a full makeup session and that this was only compimentary, and therefore cannot have a finished makeover. How rude! Very bold of her, considering the fact that she knew I was given the session because of her own poor behavior. Eventually, my makeup was completed, but it looked absolutely terrible. The lipstick looked like clown makeup. The color was an atrocious shade of super bright red that didn't look right on me at all. The eye makeup was not great either. I removed it instantly upon leaving the store. Overall, I had a bad experience here (bad enough that I would take the time to write such a thorough complaint) and would NOT recommend this store to anyone. Not only is the customer service bad, but the makeup artists don't do a good job. Take your business elsewhere; it's not worth spending your money here. read more

Great service, and oh, the samples! I got 3 generous helpings of $100 face creams to try. The selection here is just what this area needed... mercier, nars, bare minerals, ojon, fresh, etc. I love that you can try out just about anything in that place. It's well stocked with disposable brushes and makeup remover. Some Sephoras (ahem, Pleasanton) are like one giant petri dish. Not so here- it's still shiny and new. Enjoy! read more

Just was in on my lunch break, not one but three employees went above and beyond to help me find what I needed and provided me with samples. Amazing staff ! read more

Make-up heaven! This place has everything you could possibly need (makeup wise). They carry numerous brands and they even have a section for perfume/cologne and hair products. Since most people have been inside a Sephora, this review is for the service. They have a friendly staff. I'm always greeted when I walk in and ask every so often if I need assistance. It's not like they're breathing down my back, watching me to see if I need help. But somehow, they just know that I have a question on my mind. Everything is clean and well kept (no messy testers). LOVE this place! read more

I have to just say that Sephora is crazy addictive! I first hit up Sephora in SF like 10 years ago and always wanted one here. Now it is here and my bank account is sorry! Just a tip: please do not use the makeup as is - there are disposable applicators. I once saw a girl apply lip gloss from the tube and wanted to smack her! Seriously... read more

I have been to this Sephora many times. Benefits are that it's relatively empty for a Sephora and you can get service quickly. Skin care is well staffed and I have always received thoughtful tips. Today I have to give a shout out to Cheryl, who gave me the most incredible service!! Very helpful and allowed me to exchange my unwanted gloss, find and test the correct color, and find wonderful eye shadow samples from Bare Minerals. I got home smiling ear to ear!!! For the person who reviewed this as being in JCP, I think you are referencing something else as this is a free-standing store. read more

I'd rather go to Ulta! Came here the other day to get my mom her Bare Essentials make up. All the ladies in my fam love BE. But I usually make my purchases online or at Ulta cause I'm not a big fan of this particular Sephora's customer service. They aren't really rude, just something about them irritates me! Like they seem bothered by your presence in your store. I guess cause a few times I've gone in with my kids. They seem to dislike kids quite a bit, and mine are not the kind that run around the store or act wild either! But anyway, I prefer Ulta. The store is more open and has more selection! read more

Great service. Awesome staff. The pedicure was well worth the price. They took their time and were very gentle. Definitely will go there again. read more

Lori helped me out Tuesday afternoon. She was very nice, super helpful. I was looking for new make up because I am in a wedding this weekend. I needed some foundation that had full coverage. She helped me find something that worked for me. Also, helped me find bronzer, under eye concealer and some new brushes. Over all she helped me spend 290$ lol but I was very happy with all the items I ended up with. Oh I forgot to mention she greeted everyone that walked in. She was very professional and was able to multitask with out making me feel like I was left alone. Thanks Lori! read more

Came in to purchase under-eye concealer and foundation. I was helped by Sam and she did a GREAT job but she accidentally spilled most of a bottle of Urban Decay's new foundation down my leg and in/on my new purse!!! She was so apologetic and tried to clean everything up. It was her intention to comp me the concealer and foundation but they didn't end up having any more of that shade. Sam color matched me again with the Bare Minerals Serum and took care of that. I left my info with her so we could discuss replacing my purse with a different manager. Two days later they purchased the purse again from Macy's and let me know it was being shipped. I just got it in the mail today along with a few samples, so nice! Thank you so much Sam and Anna for restoring my faith in retail management and humanity. Excellent! read more

Always get great service! Alex usually helps me, but today Michelle helped me color match a couple brands. I appreciated her patient and helpfulness. read more

Best makeup store in town! I defintely am a fan of Spehora. This is the once place that carries all your beauty needs from makeup & skincare to fragrance & hair products. The options for foundations, blush, lipstick, tools, etc. is endless! The foundation IQ machine is something specific to Sephora that is great! It finds your exact shade of foundation in all the many brands in store. They also have a rewards program that adds up the money you spend and you get great free samples of items. The staff at this specific location is the best I've ever met! They are all very knowledgeable in their areas. They do a spectacular job at makeup, especially Jas! read more

The ladies at this Sephora store are always nice and accommodating. Sometimes when I walk into a Sephora I feel like there are SO many products that it can be extremely daunting. I did have a bad experience once where I was recommended and tried on a Dior foundation. It must have been a lighting in the store because when I got home and applied the foundation the next day, it looked terrible. It didn't match my skin at all! Alas, they are a one stop shop for beauty products and are better than the Macy's staff. read more

I looked online to make sure the Tarte amazonian clay was in stock before going here. Once I arrived I was helped right away, but they unfortunately did not have my shade in stock. She gave me a sample of it from the test tube and let me know when it would be in stock again. She was very informative and pointed me in the direction of the JCPenny Sephora. Every time I have shopped here I have received great customer service and I always recommend this specific store to my friends. read more

I walked in literally just a few moments ago to check out the new shade range for Born this Way foundation. I did three little pumps on the back of my hand and walked over to the beauty counter and had two masculine looking employees repeatedly walk over and glare at me and didn't even ask me how I was doing or if I would like some assistance. They looked more like club bouncers then Sephora staff. Lighten up and offer customer service or ditch the job! read more

I love going here whenever I am in town to get my makeup. I'm from Sacramento but when I visit, I make my stops here cause the I love the help and they are super nice. I visited yesterday and got color matched for one of my foundations and it was an awesome experience. read more

SEPHORA - Airbrush foundation, love it! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Modesto, California

I will admit I have never been a make-up addict, but slowly this store is feeding a new habit. I was first introduced to Sephora when I was shopping for a new foundation. My first experience was great and I received the best service even though there was a promo going on and the line wrapped around the store. They allow you to take samples of foundation, if you ask, which is helpful! I don't know if a foundation works for me until I've used it for about a week (I am prone to breakouts), and the color always looks different in true light. For me this is a huge plus as it has saved me dozens of trips to return purchased products. Another perk... their return policy!!! Most MUA's are fairly knowledgeable of products and can generally give great recommendations of brands and colors that work for you. Slowly, my makeup bag is filling up with brands purchased from Sephora. read more

Their products are good. I give them three stars because some of the staff can be pretty condescending. It's hit or miss whenever I go here. The person helping me today was polite enough but made a comment to her coworker after I walked away. Hello lady, I was still in earshot! The guy working at the desk was polite and friendly. They are not as uniformly professional as they are at Ulta, which is where I went to spend $ when I had the less than stellar experience here. read more

Cosmetics paradise! Skincare heaven! Fragrance utopia! Warning: DO NOT ENTER SEPHORA if you're on a budget and have a penchant for high-quality, glossy-packaged items that make you feel prettier just by looking at them. You'll fail, miserably, to not stand in line with at least one lone item. And, of course, after standing in said line for anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 seconds, you'll make it up to the counter with a rueful smile and present the cashier with 1 - 5 more little items you picked up from the 'helpful' rows of cute, mini stuff right in your eye-line. Don't be foolish enough to think you can actually resist any of it! The samples are fantastic. In fact, one day when the wait in line was long, a Sephora employee went around and gave every single person a sample of a NARS highlighter as an apology. I've also been given, on two different occasions, more than the maximum three samples I'm allotted as a Sephora card holder, and all of the samples are very generous! All I've yet to do here is get my make-up professionally done, which I may do come graduation this May. I have no idea if the women here have the credentials that the MAC counter girls do, but perhaps I'll report back later! read more

Never been to this sephora in Modesto. But today I did and it was amazing. I have had dry and cracked skin for a year now and I wasn't sure when I was able to have clear skin and smooth foundation finishes. But today I got the best service and consult from Diana! She made my skin look like in never has before. Truly amazing read more

Whenever you go into this Sephora , ask for Nelly. Her makeup is beautiful and she's the only one with good customer service. I had a really bad experience with the lady handling the line today 4/7/21 @ around 3pm and the cashier. read more

Cool place. Good finds. I usually go here once or twice a year since I don't wear much makeup and I shop online mostly. Came to get my belated free birthday gift and to exchange some things I bought online that was shades too dark. The gal who helped me around the store was nice and the cashier was nice as well. Though one thing I noticed is that they will follow you around kinda like how you would do with people who steal. Kinda annoying. I felt so awkward I left and only bought one thing. read more

SEPHORA - Best find. It lasts literally for months. 16$ not bad. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Modesto, California

Pretty nice staff who seem to like their job and appreciate their own style and choices of makeup , Store is pretty clean and makeup swatches alongside cologne samples always available . Even though I'm always meek and indecisive ... I appreciate their support and I apologize for always being so needy lol. Just know that they have some great floor sales team members read more

The Sephora downstairs by the Apple Store. The man in the all black outfit was super helpful. He spent all his time helping me find a foundation and concealer. I really appreciated! read more

I got my make up done by ash , a few days ago for a staff party . And I LOVED it ! I am a makeup artist myself ,but I wanted someone else to do it since I never do anything different on myself . She even was able to fit me in an hour early ! Which is a good thing since the service took almost 2 hours . But the out come was so worth it ! I got SO many compliments . Thank you so much ash read more

If I could give a negative star I would. This Sephora location gives the worst customer service ever, not friendly at all and when you ask questions they have an attitude about it. read more

I will give them 1 star since 0 is not an option. So yesterday my friend and both of our sisters decided to head into the main sephora after class. Gosh, I've never felt so uncomfortable trying on makeup. These girls were literally following us around and kept their eyes on us the whole time as if we were going to steal something. Not to mention some of the workers there look ghetto af and they should be checking themselves. Tony was very rude! Afterwards, we went to the Sephora inside of JCpenney to purchase the item that I wanted we went back to the main sephora since the jcpenney sephora didn't have the perfume I wanted a sample of. Ghetto Tony girl tells her crew "they're back" like really how unprofessional is that. She just confirmed my suspicions. Regardless of how many people have stolen stuff there it is not cool for anyone to stereotype or follow people around the store like fat lady tony did along with the other girls. we have money to pay and we did pay for all of our merchandise. Patty however inside of jcpenney was so helpful she even helped me order a Anastasia brush I was looking for and Corina at the other sephora couldn't do that for me?! That goes to show they have no type customer service skills. These girls need to be re trained or should not be allowed to work in a place where customer service is key. Btw I did get a perfume sample from Corina which was only 1 sprit since she only filled the perfume sample bottle about 1/4 if that. What kind of ish is that? They give you sample bottles to fill up dummy... and I don't believe it comes out of your paycheck if you fill it up. So if anyone needs to go into Sephora make sure you go to the one inside of jcpenney. read more

This Sephora is the best location in the valley. They usually have what Im looking for in stock & the girls are nice & willing to help you, unlike Sacramento or Stockton locations. As nice as they are though, some don't have much knowledge about actual skin, makeup, technique or application but they do make up for it in personality & great attitudes. Dont get me wrong, Im not expecting award wining makeup artist at a mall so I know that going in but the girls here seem willing to try EVERYTHING until they get it right so that in & of itself makes it worth the trip. TIP: If youre looking for a info on a certain brand item, I'd call & ask when that brand will have a demo or rep in the store & then head over at that time because its just impossible for any ONE person to know everything about every brand & the best chances are going to be with the brand reps. read more

I just want to start out saying that Jane the skin care associate is AWESOME & AMAZING. I went in about 2 weeks ago for the umpteenth time trying to find a matching foundation for my olive skin tone. Every other time I've gone in there the cosmetics ladies DO NOT spend more than 5 minutes with me. It's so frustrating. I've had to go back to return my items every time because they did not work for my skin/skin tone. But Jane,wonderful Jane, spent almost an hour with me. Answered all my questions. Matched my skin. Gave me LOTS of tips, recommended great products that ACTUALLY worked for my skin. If you are a woman past your 20's & is NOT looking for that new "contoured" look & want actual skin care & make up advice,go see Jane. She is wonderful. She is very knowledgable. She knows her stuff. from one happy customer. read more

Sometimes when I go there, I just want to be left alone. I get asked literally every minute If I need help-which normally is awesome, but I've seen soooooo many Youtube videos where former employees say they're trained to do that when someone looks poor, not very pretty or looks like a thief. I'm a 47yr old mom and housewife. I'm not ugly, but not gorgeous, I'm not a thief and not rich. So idk. It's annoying tho. read more

I haven't really been in Sephora very often, until just recently. I'm getting a little older and noticed some changes in my skin. Also being a redhead. finding the right foundation can be difficult. I went in on August 31 and Angela greeted me at the door and was very helpful in finding me the products that I needed. I liked them so much I returned on September 11 and Michael helped me to get a good match on some other products I wanted to try. Both of the customer service personnel were very professional and helpful and I really enjoyed my experience thanks again guys. Betty read more

I mean, it's Sephora, so that's good. But this line is so long. This store seems somehow unclean. And most staff seem bothered to help. To the gentleman who found me waaaay in the back corner and offered to help, thanks, cause you were the only one. It's just such sharp contrast from the last Sephora I was at, where the amazing customer service truly encouraged me to spend big bucks when I was just stopping by to browse. Now I'm stuck in this line to get my free full-sized mascara after the five minis. Heck, seemed like a good idea at the time. read more
