    Huge Sephora store at City Walk!! I think they carry every & any products you need. Yes, it could be a little bit overwhelm when you walk in. But don't worry, their staffs are very sweet, they greet you right when you walk in & answer all your questions & needs. They are all so professional & knowledgeable.

    Amanda on 12/6/23 acted very rude and unprofessional while I was attempting to locate the associate that first helped me as I walked in. When advised Amanda that I was looking for the rep that helped me she looked at me very confused and when I asked her if she knew what a sales rep was she got very nasty and requested the manager as if trying to get me kicked out!!! One of the managers a young handsome Hispanic gentleman defused the situation and helped me through my perfume purchase! I am in customer service and I would never treat any of my customers like Amanda treated me! I will Never shop here again!!!

    Sephora... Now City that walk! Strolled into this bright lavish well staff wonderland of scents, aromas and skincare where I was greeted right away along with other patrons who came in before and after me. Located just across from Hot Topic and towards the mid front end of CityWalk - Sephora of Universal Studios Hollywood's outdoor shopping & eatery plaza extravaganza is chic and trendy and fairly easy to navigate... Not to narrow with plenty of space around shelves and displays. They have many sales reps on the floor and tons of hand sanitizer stations between testing products and getting a closer look at some of their quality selections. Absolutely slaying it with the health and safety practices, especially at check out. Other than not having any single bottle nail polish... (Awww) at this location (though they do carry a bundle pack with some essential colors)... I do recommend Sephora UCW for skin care, health/beauty and fragrances. Definitely not just a makeup store, lots of great gift ideas and items for all genders. I was asked for help by more than one rep on the floor, which was a treat... So getting help on any question or advice is pretty fast and efficient.

    It's always a hit or mess with these "beauty associates ". I walked in and usually there's two employees greeting, watching by the door but there was no one. I spot an employee chatting it up with his co worker and I approach him, kindly ask if i can get help with a pickup order & he so rudely cuts me off and says "Give me a minute". Points his grimy finger and says "Go wait over there". (The order online pick up in store area.) He makes me wait about 3 minutes so he can finish talking and I present my barcode and proceed to ask about the Rare Beauty blush. You'd think he'd push for customer loyalty and simply answers " Oh, for thaaat particular blush you have to keep in mind its ALWAYS out of stock . We get shipment every Monday but we don't know what we get. Perhaps try ordering from the actual website itself." Soo much for pushing for sales huh? He was rude, not welcoming, some tone to his demeanor and makes me question if Sephora as a company really cares about their customers & how they're being serviced. Idk what his name was, but he was like 5'9 with dark hair and thick glasses. All the other associates I've ever been helped nice have treated me way better if even just asking a question. He clearly must be a new addition to that team.

    Opening Spring 2018!

    I LOVE that City Walk has a Sephora location now. I went opening day and there were a lot of customers. Because it was opening day, they were giving lipsticks away for a certain amount of the first customers and if you were lucky, you might win a giftcard. Just like any Sephora location, it has all of your staples.. makeup, perfumes, skincare, haircare, nail polishes. Most of their products are on display and you can ask for a sample (so you don't have buyer's remorse later on). All of the employees were SUPER NICE and PROFESSIONAL. I've been to a few locations were the employees would just lash out at their customers. Parking: Because Sephora is located on City Walk, you have to pay for parking because it's attached to the themepark. The closest parking structure to Sephora is Jurassic. This location is convenient if you happen to already be at City Walk, but if you were just going to this location for Sephora alone, it might not be work it. Prices for City Walk parking: Before 6pm: General parking $25 Preferred Parking $45 Front Gate Parking $50 After 6pm: General Parking $10 Preferred Parking $20 Front Gate Parking $30 BUT if you are watching a movie, it is $5. (you will receive a refund at theatre box office with purchase of a movie ticket and general parking voucher). The universal tram is also available, so you can avoid parking.

    Didn't expect them to be open today but the store looks beautiful and the staff is great. Definitely a great add on to universal city walk. Don't mind me stopping by often. The store is fairly large. It's located where upstart crow/ coffee bean used to be. They have everything a normal Sephora would have. The only con for a few people would be the parking. Unless you got an Uber/ Lyft you do have to pay for parking. Other than that. Kudos!

    Ok so I've been to this location before and so far have never had a bad experience. Today I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT TO TATIANA.! She hooked my eyebrows up.! I haven't had my brows done in maybe over a year and she worked her magic. I felt so comfortable in her hands. As a queer person that matters and is very important to me. she was so genuinely nice and listened to what i like and gave me the best suggestion for what to do with my brows. She gave me some great easy pointers for my brows that really made the difference. My brows look great I feel stunning and tatiana did that for me today. Idk how comfortable she would be if i shared her IG info on here but definitely ask for her if going here for brows or make up. MY BROWS THANK YOU TATIANA.! You will be seeing me again

After a long search of visiting multiple different stores, the search is FINALLY OVER! Santa found me:-) Was warmly greeted by so many friendly staff that I can't even remember their names. One thing I can say, is that I was treated like ROYALTY! Felt good. Being helped by different people in different aisles. Got everything that I needed and wanted. Paid less than $100.00 not including tax. Great deals every corner of the store. Store was nicely organized.Honestly it felt like family. Parking can be a disaster at times, but the flow is moving pretty fast. They also have an underground parking and the store is shared with numerous businesses. I honestly wish that I could have given them 5 STARS. Mother nature was calling me & I had to use the bathroom. The minute I walked in, I wanted to vomit. It was so disgustingly filthy, dirty, smelly, toilets in all 3 stalls were not flushed. Wet all around the sink, & the floor. Can also be dangerous. Please clean your bathrooms lovely employees at Marshalls!! I will be back.. JUST to use the bathroom! Thank you ALL!!

In addition to beauty supplies, they have a great choice of candles, cards, and even some slimming undergarments. They carry high-quality blow dryers and even have micro-current machines that can help reduce wrinkles and revitalize your skin. The main thing I love about this store though, is the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Bryant is amazing and knows so much about all the products. Every time I go there, he turns me on to a new wonderful product. He has made so many great recommendations on everything from hair care to nail care to skin. I look 20 years younger because of some of his recommendations! At the very least, my skin is much more beautiful and glowing. Celeste is also super helpful and friendly. She turned me on to the Deborah Lipman nail polish which is the best polish I've ever used. There are also a number of other awesome folks who have helped me when I go in there but I can't remember everyone's name. The point is, everyone that I've dealt with there seems to be super friendly and helpful. So nice to go to a place with great customer service! The prices are also very competitive, and because they are often offering discounts, the prices are typically the same or cheaper than online or at the bigger chain beauty stores. Last night they were having a sale, and I saved a truckload of cash on K18 hair treatment! Way cheaper than the big chain beauty store up the street formerly known as Du Pars! The store is conveniently located in the shopping mall on Vineland and Ventura, so you can also go get your shopping done at Ralph's after your beauty needs and hit the Wells Fargo ATM. They have a huge lot and parking is convenient. It is a small independently owned shop with wonderful products and amazing customer service. I highly encourage you to check it out if you need beauty supplies.

Parking varies if on if you have a pass, if you're just going to the theme park, and if you're going to do validation only for City Walk. Though, it's pretty cool that it's reduced after 5 PM (technically you can do this for Disney, and , but it's after 7-ish instead). The scale of everything and the neon lights, and photo ops are much more impressive. Great to look at, at night and this was the location of my senior prom. Wish I had the intellect to just wander around City Walk instead of being forced to be in one of their event buildings only with some of the most cringe people I've met in my life. But I digress. Dining options are tad more limited with more desserts and quick service, standard fast food chains (probably the craziest Raising Cane's I've ever seen), and a couple of sit down restaurants. Neat that they have a Pink's since it's so closely tied to Hollywood history. For shopping, they do have a bunch of businesses that you can find at your local mall like Lids, Hot Topic, Shoe Palace (lol), Tilly's and much more. I think for the must stops and unique shops, it'd be the Sanrio and Hello Kitty Cafe, that chocolate emporium place (insane name), the Line Friends shop, and of course the shop that sells all the merch from Universal Studios. Due to the distance and the cost, it's not a place I'd go out of my way for, but if you're already at Universal or it's after 5 PM, it's worth it as a tourist and to explore.

A good plan is to use the Jurassic parking area (valet parking). You can get your ticketed validated at any of the main restaurants for 3.5 hours and the price is only $15.00. The most striking thing we noticed was the actual beauty of the architecture of each store. Even raising canes was amazing. Each store like Bubba Gumps and Margaritaville are really decorated nicely. We ate at Margaritaville and they have excellent food. Antijitos Mexican restaurant has some of the nicest decor i have ever seen. We plan to eat there next time. So many other shops to explore like It's Sugar and the gigantic chocolate emporium. I highly recommend making an outting here even for just some exercise or to come for lunch at one of these unique restaurants.
