This location is tucked into The Arbor Village Center so it's surrounded by other eateries and businesses. Most people familiar with this plaza know that parking is a headache during lunch and dinner hours. I would not want to be here if it was overly crowded, but thankfully that wasn't the case when we were there on a Saturday afternoon. My friend recently visited Japan so she wanted to stop by to show me their popular haircare products. We ended up spending a whole hour here and I've added more products to my wishlist for the near future. I also walked out with a purchase and can't wait to try it. Notes: ~ Hours of operation are 11:30 AM - 8:30 PM daily ~ Opened in 2018 and it's a smaller store but they still carry wide range of cosmetics, skin/hair/oral/ personal hygiene care products, toys, snacks and lifestyle items (not just Japanese ones, but also trendy Korean and a couple of Chinese brands) ~ Prices are actually not outrageous (some products appear cheaper than the Japanese and Korean markets) ~ Aisles are a bit more narrow here so please be patient ~ There's a spacious sink in the back of the store for hand washing after testing out the wide variety of beauty products ~ Store associates are nice and ready to help find any product ~ Partnered with Fivestars for their loyalty program ~ Sometimes they offer deals like spend $50+ to receive a free gift ~ Products approaching end of shelf life are placed right by the checkout counter (items can be between 30-70% off) ~ Mobile payment accepted

Lots of options to select from. Will be back to check out more options…read more Thanks

They don't have a lot of selections compared to shibuyala, but definitely more than Tokyo Central/Mitsuwa. They also carry Asian sunscreens with filters that are not available in the us. Very light and not heavy feeling that you get with us sunscreen that burn your eyes. They do have a bunch of testers so it's nice when you can do that versus hope that a product work if you're buying something internationally online. It seems like the items are a little bit more expensive than online, but I guess it's the cost of doing business and person, labor, and shipping as well. They do have another random section with kitchen items. But I would say if it's a popular item in Asia cup and you'll probably find it here.

I've never even asked her for help, but her attitude alone makes the experience uncomfortable. She seems like she doesn't want to be there, and it shows.

I've also seen other reviews mentioning similar experiences, which makes me feel better knowing it's not just me--but it's clearly a pattern. I hope management takes note, because it definitely affects the overall experience. I will now drive the extra few miles to another location

I went to the store and another associate, Taylor recommended a different product than the one I had come to pick up. When I told her I do not purchase that particular line because they're known for animal testing, she became combative and telling me I was wrong. I am not wrong. I've done a lot of research on the subject and she is repeating lines she's been told to tell customers . It is a well known fact that China and other countries still insist on animal testing and her insistence on spewing incorrect information was off putting and rude. Do your research before you call yourself an aesthetician and treat customers with respect. The associate at Ulta Beauty is repeating Clinique's official statement--but your understanding about China is the key nuance. Here's the accurate, current breakdown: Clinique's official policy Clinique says: * They do not conduct animal testing themselves * They do not ask suppliers to test * Except where required by law That last clause is the deciding factor. The China factor (this is where confusion comes from) China historically required animal testing for imported cosmetics. Since 2021, rules changed: * Many "general cosmetics" (like moisturizer, foundation, shampoo) can now be sold without mandatory animal testing if certain paperwork and safety requirements are met * However, animal testing can still occur in some situations, such as: * Special-use cosmetics (sunscreen, hair dye, etc.) * Missing documentation * Post-market safety investigations Because Clinique sells in mainland China, they must agree to comply if authorities require testing. * Therefore: Clinique is not classified as cruelty-free

Young teenagers who have a clue what customer service is, they have no knowledge of makeup, they're standing around talking to each other, instead of helping customers out. I wanted to give them another shot, so I ordered a few things online and decided to pick it up curbside. I waited for 15 minutes and then finally had to walk into the store. They didn't even have my order ready. It's a joke! Whatever happened to servicing the customer and having mature people who know the product and our knowledgeable. Today it just seems like all you get are these young kids who just need a job but have no clue what they're doing.

I can't recommend this practice enough…read more I was an out-of-state patient, and from the very beginning, they made the entire process feel seamless. We were able to do FaceTime consultations along with in-person appointments, which made planning everything so much easier. They also worked with me on financing, which I really appreciated. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. Every time I walked in, I felt comfortable and taken care of. The staff is incredibly kind and supportive, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. It's worth noting that he is a busy surgeon, so you do need to be patient with scheduling -- but in my opinion, that speaks to how in-demand and trusted he is. One thing that really stood out to me was the environment of the office. It has a strong faith-based presence, and while I'm not personally religious, I found it surprisingly comforting. I was told that during the building process, he would come in and write scripture within the structure of the office, which I thought was such a meaningful and intentional touch. On the day of surgery, I was understandably nervous, but the entire team made me feel at ease. The anesthesiologist was absolutely hilarious and helped lighten the mood right away. Right before surgery, the doctor asked if I would like him to pray with me. Even though I'm not religious, I said yes -- and it ended up being a really grounding, calming moment that I genuinely appreciated. Now, about 14 weeks post-op, I can honestly say I am so happy with my results. I feel confident, comfortable, and like I got exactly what I asked for. I'm still working on scar management, but overall, I love how everything looks. And coming from Las Vegas, I paid a fraction of what I would have locally, which made the experience even better. If you're considering working with him, especially as an out-of-state patient, I highly recommend it. I felt supported, safe, and truly cared for every step of the way.

When I asked for photos of people with similar cases like mine he pretty much brushed me off & suggested I visit their website for photos. Why would I do that if you're literally right in front of me hahah. Show me photos educate me you're the surgeon who I may potentially pay thousands and thousands to perform this procedure. Anyways after our rushed procedure the sales team gets a hold of me lol and they just went right into pricing .. didn't ask me about the consult didn't even introduce themselves I was shocked !!! The whole experience came off rushed and very sales driven. I even expressed that to the sales girls) I really believe if the surgeon took his time explaining things and behaved like someone who cared about me instead of my $$ this would have been a totally different experience. People are coming to you to spend tons and tons of money. They're not an inconvenience as soon as they want questions answered, very unprofessional. The 2 stars is for that fact that he doesn't charge a consult fee (shocking )

Understanding Korean skincare is still a bit of a mystery to me as there are many steps to caring for your skin and this store has so many products to support that method of loving on your skin and taking good care of it! Of everything I've bought here, I love them all (except for the one mask that irritated my skin a bit, but I think that is just because it was my skin. Perhaps it's great for other people). I have gotten many masks here and have loved them all. I've also gotten moisturizer, toner, cleanser here. I did try a shampoo once but my hair didn't totally love it. That's ok. Someone else's hair will. And their little hand creams are great gifts and perfect for throwing in your purse. They moisturize well. My most recent risk buy was lipstick and I love it! I come here every time I pass through town. See you again soon!

There was a female employee in the store and she was so sweet, but her kindness was overshadowed by this man's behavior. You don't know what people are going through, kindness goes a long way. I do not recommend this store at all. Do better Nature Republic.
