My daughters and I stopped by Shibuyala twice and we love this little store! The staff are very…read morenice and friendly!! They tried their bests to assist and gave the kids free candies which they love!! And free sample mouth wash! You can find a variety of items from facial, body, make up to food or pets food from Asia in this store. My girls love the stuff animals, pens, cartoon writing paper and some cute little things here. I got the holy grail mascara (Koji Dolly) here and it is a few dollars cheaper than Amazon! I also got a box of Korean masks, which is also cheaper than I normally get from Nordstrom Rack! Highly recommended!

Everyone here is so nice whether I am just picking something up that I ordered online (as I did this morning), or answering my stupid cosmetic questions (that was me a few weeks ago). Whoever is responsible for the hiring of the opening crew did a great job!! If you are afraid you will go in, roam every inch of the store and leave with 10 bags then just order online and pick up what you need!

I have mixed feelings about this Ulta location after visiting on this day…read more I was already shopping around at Arsenal Yards & wanted to grab some makeup goodiesi put in an online pickup order via Ulta app while I was shopping around. My order was supposed to be ready in about an hour & the store inside wasn't busy, so I went in to ask if I could help pick out the items I purchased for online pickup and bring it to the counter to scan out to quicken the process. The store associate told me that this works, so I went to pick out all the stuff that I had placed an order for and brought it to the counter. Then she proceeds to try to charge me for all the items I gave her to scan instead of just going by the online order. I guess she didn't know how to do online pickup orders and got confused but she wanted to refund my online order and have me repurchase everything. I didn't want to do this since I didn't really see the point in doing so. Instead, I just waited until my order was fulfilled later in the day & picked up my order an hour after all of this. I feel like an online pickup order shouldn't have been this difficult & if my order couldn't be fulfilled in time or earlier, it would've been okay to have said so.

I also always grab something new from their collection of sustainable/reduced packaging products. I love that I can pursue and shop for so many lovely things at once! I have gotten shampoo and conditioner bars, tablets for multi purpose cleaner, scrubs etc. Staff is always very helpful in answering my questions! I wish I had more reasons to stop by more often but once you buy in bulk it takes a long time to run out!

I have been waiting for a store like this to open in the Kendall/Central/Inman area! The other…read morereview is right; it's definitely got sticker shock up front. However, all of the products are built to last. The shampoo and conditioner bars are $10-15, a lot more than what a Garnier product would at Rite Aid, but they certainly last a lot longer and come with the satisfaction of not adding more plastic to our lives. You do have to come prepared, but that is more of a hassle associated with trying to live at a plastic minimum in an economy that wants everything in plastic packages. I find their website, which lists every product they have, really helpful for planning in advance! It might be useful to see an approximate list of prices there as well, to assist in financial planning as well as what containers to buy, though. The staff is helpful and ready to answer any questions, and really open to suggestions about what customers would like to see in the store! I hope this business continues to grow.

I have used it through all my pregnancies and now I use it for all my aching muscles. It has a very strong scent of Eucalyptus and might turn some people off but it is better than the Bengay smell. I have recently have bursitis in the hip and I use this product at night to help get to sleep. I heard they redesigned the container and possibly messed with the formula but I can not tell the difference if they have. I like this location and the people are very friendly and helpful. It is the perfect location in Harvard Square right in the middle of all the action.

I hate going to this store, but it's the closest option to my house. Every time I visit, I make a purchase, yet I always feel unwelcome. The employees often stand around talking to each other, and I feel awkward interrupting them to ask a question. When they do respond, they answer quickly and walk away. Today, I tried to mention my experience to the cashier while paying, but she completely ignored me as if she didn't hear me. My neighbor told me the same thing

I usually just walk around the store and half the time I know what I want to buy. However, this time around I wanted to try a new foundation. I approached one of the sales associates and asked to have my foundation match. Hailey (Haley) was more than happy to assist me. She match me without even using the color matching machine (since the foundation I wanted was more like a light coverage). She gave me a sample to try at home and answer all my questions. She gave me her full attention and is very knowledgeable about all the products. She never once try to push me to buy an item or discourage me to try a certain product. She was friendly from the beginning to the end of our conversation. Immediately after she was helping another client. I was blown away by how great her service is and will continue to come here.

I love going here to find Asian goodies that you typically wouldn't find nearby. Here, you can find some KBeauty, Japanese snacks, cute stuffed animals, Asian makeup products, kitchenware, hair products, little knick knacks, and more! I personally love getting beauty products, snacks, and stuffies from here. I think prices are fair for their items since they're not sold at any other stores around here and if you order them online, expect to wait a couple weeks to receive. So, I don't mind their prices because of this.
