Little knick knacks of stuff you never knew you never knew you needed or wanted till you bumped into it. It's a little girl's paradise, a way of paying homage to frills and beauty and all things feminine. It's such an odd little shop to bump into, especially when you're not looking for it. It's tucked away in a bit of an obscure location, so if you're not looking for it, you'll miss it.

They were professional, warming and listened, and as I am an older woman, they respected what I was saying. As an older client, I have been as invisible, I've been not respected, and I've been ignored by most so it was such a refreshing experience to be seen as an individual age.

Thank you to the Hillsdale staff for making my day and renewing my faith in the Sephora brand.

Lilian called me and was professional and nice and told me that she did have a talk with Jesse and the cashier and for me to return to the store to pick up the money and that she WILL make sure that he gives it. But it took for ALL OF THAT to happen to get my change money back! But I am thankful for the service that Lilian did provide, unlike her manager and cashier employees, so I decided to add an extra star JUST FOR HER, but I still would not be shopping here ever again because I don't want to risk that happening to me again, especially with me also seeing a prior review on here of a past customer that was a victim of them overcharging their card for more than authorized. I generally DO NOT recommend spending your money at this location because I don't know how Jesse will do again when Lilian is not around!

This has shown me how much she cared and put her heart into her job. She even went above and beyond by throwing some other work on my face without charging and I know that blue light is another $50 somewhere else but, she gave it to me because I needed it! How wonderful. Oh, and I had her do my eyebrow and lip wax and it's been almost two weeks, no sign of any growth coming back! Whatever wax she uses, it's amazing - just like her! Definitely going back to her for my facial's keep up! Thank you, Jen the "Miracle"! That should be your nickname! ;)

I tried on the mid-rise 90s straight jeans instead and liked them, found my size, and purchased a pair. They also had a great selection of athletic wear and really cute dresses with reasonable prices. Once I had my size figured out, I ordered the relaxed jeans (plus a few extras) online.
