I was there with my husband from the very opening of this store at 11:00am. Not one staff member asked if either my husband and I needed help. We went from looking at areas near the front of the store to the back of the store near the perfumes and colognes, no one cared to approach us if we needed any assistance. With as many staff as there were present, (5 staff as we counted) with only 5 customers present (the store just opened) the staff did not care to acknowledge our presence. This is the only time I have ever had this extreme lack of customer service at any sephora. I will not be coming back to this particular store and would rather order online or visit a store located farther than have to experience this again. My husband was in agreement this was the worst experience we have encountered in terms of customer service at a Sephora location. read more

It's always an uncomfortable experience shopping here. The second i enter i came see someone trailing behind me which if i wanted to steal i would steal but okay. I came in to buy a brozer but my shade wasn't on the shelf so i got in line (there was only 1 person in front of me so I thought it would be no problem just getting help there since it's DIRECTLY IN FRONT of the display. and immediately the black girl with blonde braids in a bun stared at me crazy. And its wild bc tf did i do?She had no problem being all nice to the white lady in-front of me but looks at me with disgust? Stop hiring weird ass bitches like its sephora im just trying to buy some makeup and be cute and instead in enter the sephora humiliation ritual. read more

New policy for Sephora can only return/exchange within 30 days??? Apparently they changed their policy in April 2025. Annoying bc I was a couple days off and the product I bought gave me acne so I don't even want it. How are we suppose to know how the product is if we can't trial it. 30 days is dumb. Anyways place is clean, the only compliment. So many workers working and I had to ask someone to come help me. No one came. They just talk to each other pretending to do things, no one greeted me when I walked in even tho I was literally the only person there. Customer service sucks. Manager isn't helpful either. I'll be purchasing online, unless I have to return something in 30 days bc of their lame strict new policy. read more

This location is hit or miss it gets sooo crowded in this store at times it is so uncomfortable to shop. Warm and stuffy. I came in for an order pick up and still couldn't wait to get out of there. The sales rep was kind though. read more

Not sure what to rate the place. A vendor helped me not the Sephora staff. I like Sephora because it's a one stop shop BUT it's at times it's chaotic, the displays are kind of smudgy and messy but it's cool cuz you can find out about a lot of brands and products you don't know about. My issue is I was totally out of foundation I have somewhere to go later tonight so I dashed to Sephora to pick up a foundation. I chatted with a vendor and loved the product I decided to temporarily ditch my Dior and try something different. Anyways I loved it bought it and drove home. I unpack everything to start getting ready and to my disappointment the foundation I bought is freakin used and half empty! Most likely a return that was just put back This makes me so mad it's a huge inconvenience since I need it for tonight and now I have to drive back deal with mall crowds explain this story to the employee. Point if my story do better and double check your returns Sephora or throw them away..and next timE I will double check what I'm walking about with. read more

Came into your wonderful store looking for tinted moisturizer. I asked to people and they just pointed in the direction... Had I had some assistance I would have bought more items than the moisturizer. As I left I told Diamond .. and she seemed only interested when I told her I was writing a review.

The people here are so nice and so helpful. It was a delight to shop at this location.

I've been going to this Sephora for years and the customer service is usually fine, but only one interaction was worth reviewing until today!. lesha assisted me with the skin tone checker, foundation matching, and suggesting fragrances that l ended up loving. She is sooo helpful, patient, friendly and professional yet down to earth. Thanks to her, my experience was amazing!! Ask for lesha next time you stop by :) read more

This happened almost three years ago but I'm still feeling pretty bitter about it. Contacted customer service (the day it happened) and recently but no help. Maybe store manager can help or someone will see this and be sympathetic? I had a makeup appointment with Sephora and went into labor that morning. I called as soon as I was feeling better to cancel and they couldn't do anything about it. I'm sorry my child came early and I was supposed to have a photo shoot the day he arrived. Sephora charged me $20 for a no show fee. I have bank statements, text messages, and a birth certificate to prove why I couldn't be physically be there. Do better Sephora with that policy. read more

I went in to Sephora to purchase mascara. I showed the young lady what kind of mascara I had. She informed me that that is sold at a Target. Then she proceeded and walked away.. instead of showing me something compatible to what I was looking for. I had to call her back. When she did show me an item she said that that was compatible. And started to walk away again. When I asked her if she had something a little better than what I was looking for in a mascara. She showed me a high-end one and gave me the whole spill on the cosmetic. She then commented that she showed me the low end that they carried because of what I had showed her that I needed . I ended up buying their high-end mascara only because I was already in there and needed to get out. I will never purchase anything from Sephora again. The customer is always right and should not have to chase a sales rep around the store! I will be purchasing my products at Ulta in the future. Very sad and disappointed on their sales rep. You would think they were packed and full. I was the only customer in the store! read more

Cristal and Dominque, was sooo sweet to my mom. They made her feel like a queen. First time coming to Sephora and they went all out for her. Cristal's customer service and patience with her. She's a bit older and yall know how moms are. lol amazing job Cristal!!!!!!!! You did that!! read more

It's pretty packed at this location, but overall the workers are super helpful and friendly! Definitely recommend!

This Sephora is nice and big, but it's always packed! Too many people ISO beauty? Who knows... but the service in this particular Sephora is really good. No matter how full it is I always have found a friendly face to help me. read more

Usually I'm not a fan of this Sephora due to the attitudes the employees have but today I took my daughter and her friend in and we were greeted by Vee, both my daughter and her friend fell in love with her, in their words, "she's so beautiful, she helped me choose what I wanted, she should get a raise" . You need more employees like Vee, she was amazing! And with the amount of Tweens and teens wanting to go in Sephora these days that's the kind of person all parents would want to help their kids regardless if this is a store for their age range. Thank you Vee for making these girls day read more

It is difficult to get the attention of the staff because they are so busy with the line. It just doesn't feel like there's enough staff. I need help with my online order and I'm just standing there for so long because no one is available to help. read more

I placed an order for curbside pick up while I was at work and had my husband go pick up the order. I placed the order at 5:30 and was notified the order will be ready in 2 hours with curbside available until 8. When my husband arrived, they refused to bring out the order because it was past 7 PM. He had our little baby and fur baby and couldn't bring them both inside. SOOOOO annoying. Not sure if the store just decided to change the policy because the staff didn't want to come out or what bedside my email said 8'pm. read more

Stopped into this Sephora to get color matched and to choose a foundation and setting spray. I was helped by two people there and I wish I caught their names! They were very nice and more than happy to help me color match and also they helped me pick out a new setting spray. This Sephora is located on the Second Level and the closest main entrance would either be JC Penny or Forever 21. Sephora also has a point system and birthday system so you can get free goodies! I got the cutest passport holder and it says Oh the Places You Will Glow! Its the cutest thing I have ever seen! As a frequent traveller I had been meaning to purchase a cute little holder but I am so glad my points racked up enough to get the one from Sephora! read more

I understand we're recovering from a pandemic and they had just had their semi annual sale, but this store was SO UNDERSTOCKED. Many of the products I was looking forward to picking up were not available. I must say though the staff here are Absolutely lovely!! Overall good experience, just wish I would've been able to pick up everything I wanted. read more

I DO NOT recommend this location for makeup application at all. I always make my appointments at least 3 weeks in advance. I get reminders a few days before then I walk in 30 min before my appointment and they tell me no artist is Available until 3-4pm. My appointment was at 1 and I have to leave for my event at 4 so that definitely wasn't an option. They tell me the system let's you book outside their availability, however I believe it's super unprofessional to not at least check your system if you know it's an on-going issue so clients don't come in disappointed like me. read more

I went here to purchase a self tanner this past Tuesday. I had store credit from returning a purchase which I had no idea could only be used online. When I went to the counter to check out I asked about using it, from the moment I walked up the worker seemed annoyed. She almost yelled at me to put in my number and her whole demeanor was very off putting. I politely asked if I could use my credit and she proceeded to rudely say I didn't have enough insider points to redeem them. I tried to explain that it was not points it was credit and even showed her my screen to prove I wasn't making it up. She raised her voice several times and said she had never seen that in her life. I ended up leaving without buying anything. Please train your employees to be more respectful it really ruined my shopping experience. read more

Worst place ever! The girls that work their are rude! This is the 3rd time I go their to tried to purchase make up and I always walk out with empty hands and very disappointed! I'm starting to think they are racist here because I tried to ask for help and all they do stare me down and talk shit among the other workers their! It's so sad that a company like this has the worst customer service ever! I feel very uncomfortable to go here the girls are mean to me hate it cause I go their to shop and purchase my make up items and the vibe I get is so awful that I rather just leave and go somewhere else! read more

Honestly horrible customer service from a girl that is more pale then white she was rude and rudely told me what did I want when all I wanted was someone to help me. I don't understand why you guys hire people like that. read more

I actually ordered online at Sephora.com but posting my review here. I ordered 3 bottles of my favorite foundation. The Dr.Jarts V7 is the only makeup foundation that is pale enough for my skin. I love love love it! Goes on smooth, has good for you vitamins, and has SPF 30. This is more of a natural looking coverage, and is made for vampires and ghostly looking people like me I joke around and call this my "V juice"... Anyone who has seen the show Trueblood will get my reference to being addicted to "V"...lol I'm addicted to V7! Will continue to order forever and ever. Just wish they sold in stores. I always have to order the V7 online. Which is not a big deal since they process and ship my order in a timely manner. read more

This sephora is absolutely horrible. They never have anything. This most recent time I went to this location me and my friend were looking for a new face collection and everyone in that store were completely following us every step of the way. Assuming we were stealing or putting something in our bags because we kept going back and forth! Of course we're gonna go back & forth in the store I'm trying to look for a shade that matches me!! We ended up leaving everything on the floor because I couldn't stand it, someone where 5 mins asking "Do you need help?". After we dropped it the exactly grabbed our shopping back and were watching us leave the store speaking on their walkies as we were walking away. I have never been treated like this before at any Sephora. We will never be going back to this location ever. read more

Wish I could give no stars................ Beyond DISAPPOINTED! I went in there with a positive & hopeful attitude. I haven't worn makeup in 5+ years & needed to get colored matched as well as a primer. I told the girl these things & that I preferred Bare Minerals because that's something I used before & I loved the brand. She asked about trying a different brand & I was open to it..Took me to that area & had put a dark color on me & asked if I wanted to go lighter ( obviously I'm white & what she put on my face did not match at all ). I turned to my boyfriend & he said the color was too dark, the next color she put on my face was a color even lighter than my skin ‍ ( I would've looked like a ghost at this point ). When I say she put it on my face she literally wiped her tiny brush on my face & I had about 2inches of make up on my cheek. Never did a whole color match thing. She didn't even offer a napkin or wipe so I could wipe the foundation off I had to look for a tissue.....I then went on & asked her about a primer she put it on my hand & then she couldn't remember which one she used.. At this point I was nice & tried making conversation I felt like she didn't want to be there or help me...I put all the items back & took my a** to Macys! Let me tell you I was not disappointed with MACY's. When I went to Macys the girl spent an hour with me. She colored matched me, showed me the primer she recommended ( & applied it too my face ) Super friendly & I didn't feel like she didn't want to help me. I recommend going to MACY'S hands down! Won't be going back to this Sephora!!! read more

Sephora needs an ENTIRELY NEW STAFF.... I asked if they had anymore of Fentys body lava..... kid you not... the girl looked me DEAD IN MY EYES and said "WHATS THAT??????" I was completely BEWILDERED. GIRL!!!!!! how you work at one of the most popular makeup stores and not know FENTY????? then she tried to match my cousin to fenty's foundation. HONEY, LET ME TELL YOU... my 4 year old could have found her color better than the employee. It was an entire mess... I would suggest a different location if ur seeking a knowledgeable staff and decent CUSTOMER SERVICE. Do better Sephora! read more

I typically try to avoid the Tyler mall Sephora like the plague but I had a break in between my classes and I desperately needed a few things so I had to do it. The reason I don't enjoy coming to this location is because for some reason every time I come in here the girls working are always so rude. I came in this morning and it was the same thing. I'm never greeted, no one approaches me while I'm shopping, and when I get to the register they look so annoyed that they have to ring me up. As far as their products go I do like that they carry all my favourite brands and usually their in stock. I can in today for the tatcha cleansing oil and the caudalie s.o.s thirst quenching serum. I also really like their display for Anastasia. They actually carry their eyeshadows which I know some Sephora's don't carry them yet. read more

I was given great customer service both by Rebecca and Julianne! Rebecca helped me the night before over the phone on holding some product that I was on the hunt for, I wasn't sure exactly what color I needed and so she placed all that was available to purchase on hold for me so I could choose when I got to the store. The next day Julianne gave me directions and where exactly to park as I told her I was in my lunch break and that I needed to get in and out. I was soooo thrilled that I jetted in and out per her instructions! She truly delivered! She was so pleasant in person too when she rung me up. So sweet and informative. Please recognize these 2 stars at your next meeting/huddle. read more

What happened to this Sephora?! It once was a great location to shop for all makeup needs. The employees were friendly and extremely helpful. I came in today and I was shocked to see employees walk around but doing nothing. No one asked if they could help even after I approached for information. The employees would gather to chat and joke around but certainly not working. No one was working the register. Who does that? You need a compiten manager. It is obvious that no one is in charge. I will not return here. read more

This has been my best experience! I've been into this location 3 times! Walked in received no help and walked out. Today I was greeted soon as I walked in by Emily she was busy stopped what she was doing to come to help me! I didn't have to ask! She showed and let me smell 3 different male colognes I picked one and went to check out! And was then greeted by Blanca and Marcy they assured me I would love the fragrance I picked and told me it was new and my husband would love it. I told them how awesome they were and that they gave me the best customer service. read more

Sabrina is amazing. I went to her to get my make up done for my engagement photo shoot and loved it so much that I booked her for the wedding. She knows how to highlight your natural beauty and pays attention to skin care just as much as she does make up. Plus she's super friendly, accommodating, and professional. Will continue to go to her for all my future make up sessions. Highly recommend! read more

I wish I could walk into sephora and have all these "makeup consultants" and "beauty advisors" lend some insight on products to a person like myself but that's just not the case. This Sephora is seriously the worst to get any assistance at. If you walk into this place bare faced don't expect to be helped, they will look at you like trash and not offer you any assistance whatsoever. If you're looking for some higher end makeup or skin care products I suggest you do all your research online before buying a products because all these girls aren't down to help you out, UNLESS, you happen to come across this taller African-American woman who does the color matching. She's seriously the ONLY PERSON who will help you out. Everyone else who works at this location are too busy gossiping about each other and sampling products on themselves. I have emailed sephora directly and have talked to them about my terrible experience at this location and they have nothing to say about it. Shows you how much they care about you, psh. I literally wish I could go to some other place for my makeup needs but my favorite foundation (KVD lock it foundation) is a sephora exclusive. This is the main reason why I continue to shop here. read more

The employees at this location always seem to be so open to helping. Yes... sometimes you will run into an employee that isn't that friendly, that may walk right past you because you don't look like you will be spending money, and that is plain out rude. But, this is only referring to just one or two of the employees. The rest are very, very friendly. I spend quite a bit of money here and even if I may be dressed down (maybe even in my sweats) I still like to be acknowledged. So shame on the one or two employees that made me feel invaluable. Now on to the good stuff!!! The location of this Sephora is on the second floor towards the Forever 21 wing. This store has quite a bit of product, if they don't have the specific product you are looking for then they will order it for you with free shipping. They have great packaged deals for brands too! Just keep a look out for them. The employees here are soooo friendly. If you have questions about anything, they go to great lengths to answer your questions. If they don't know the answer to your question, they will be honest and grab someone that has more knowledge on the product. They suggest some great products. Without their suggestions, I would probably still be purchasing MAC makeup for the rest of my life (EWW). If you want a sample of a product because you're not sure about it, then ask them for a sample!! They are really generous with the quantities. It's better to try the product and then buy. I have bought ALMOST every sample I was given. So thank you for this! Now this may be a little bit of a different topic. I am going to talk a little bit about the classes they offer at this location. I just recently attended the Flawless Foundation class and had so much fun! I learned some really cool techniques and was advised by the most helpful beauty advisers. I even ventured into different makeup brands that I have never tried before and I LOVE these new products. I was introduced to new foundation applications, new brushes, blushes, primers, etc. Another cool thing is that they used the Color IQ to take a few pictures of my skin and then the device would give me a color IQ that matches my skin. I was very surprised with how well the foundation matched my skin....probably the best match I have had so far. Really cool!! Thank you Sephora Riverside for being so awesome! read more

This is probably my favorite Sephora I've been to and go out of my way to go to this specific one if I need something.

If you want to get your makeup done don't come here. I made a hefty purchase and asked to have the girl test my new products out on me. I figured she would have some skill in applying makeup since she works at Sephora but that was not the case. She made my eyebrows look like two huge F'N caterpillars. She seemed to think that's a cute look. I asked her to redo them so she did. SHE MADE THEM THICKER this time. Now it was bordering on MONOBROW territory. After that I just wanted to get the heck out of there so I could wipe that sh*t off. SEPHORA, if you're gunna hire people to apply makeup on your customers PLEASE train them. I left insulted because your employee thought it was ok to do that to my face. read more
