Aggressive sales tactic from the front of the store, putting a whole product in your hand and then walking back into the store so you have to give it back to them, repeatedly telling them I'm not interested only to have the person put lotion onto my hand (which made it turn a weird shade of yellow by the way). Absolutely avoiding this whole section of the mall just to avoid these people. Like I literally chose not to use the elevator on that end of the mall just to avoid them. read more

The workers at this store turned my mundane walk through the mall into a traumatic experience. I was running past the storefront on my way to pick up a cake and they lured me in by yelling at me like my hair was on fire. I thought that I had dropped something so I stopped and one of the workers immediately started slathering some wrinkle treatment under my eyes. Then he kindly pointed out the acne I had on my chin and tried to sell me a 1,300 serum for it. I made multiple attempts to leave and he kept ignoring me and urging me to "do something for myself!" When I finally left and got in line to pick up my cake, the worker FOLLOWED me to the ice cream store. He pretended to be browsing for "muffins" and kept shuffling closer to me. When I continued to ignore him, he finally said "Be sure to come back when you have time!" and left. If people wonder why malls are dying, this surely is it! I popped in for a birthday cake and ended up harassed, insulted and frightened. read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could. These people harass you into buying this garbage and also use bait and switch tactics.

Not sure they even exist - no email address to contact them to follow up on order, no one ansers the phone or responds to messages. Expected shipment date every day I checked after original "expected shipment..." of December 18th was not met. They charge your credit card as soon as the order is made, which is in their terms, but offer no way to contact and cancel an order if expectations are not met. I disputed the charge and and received a credit from my credit card company, even though the website continues to show the order as unfillfilled with a new "expected shipment" date. Would love to have resolved this directly with the vendor, but no way to contact them. Never again read more

I must say thank you! I feel like a whole new person Love to be your customers. read more

Center Stage Store in Woodfield Mall is a MUST STAY AWAY! It is HIGH pressure sales pitch. They lured my 80 year old father into the store and pressured him into a $200.00 purchase. When we went back to return the items they told us to sit on the couch and they would call us up in 2 minutes. 30 minutes later we left. According to my father there was never any discussion about NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS. THIS IS A SCAM AND A HIGH PRESSURE STAY AWAY! They were originally on a Kiosk and they have unsafe business practices. WARNING.... read more

Stay AWAY!!!!! They scammed my elderly mom $7,700 for their supposed medical equipment, which is a facial massager. Then left with her driver's license....... why??? No refunds, all sales final!!! Stay away! Many complaints with Better Business Bureau! read more

Most obnoxious place ever, you cannot peacefully walk past them without them incessantly trying to sell to you and get you to see their products. It literally is the most annoying and ugly sales strategy. Stores that were by their store front all moved away because people literally avoid anywhere near this dumpster fire. Kick them out Woodfield!!!! read more

Horrible service. My 14 year old little sister was targeted by an insanely pushy salesman who walked up to her and started filing her nails while she was leaving bath and body works. She left crying because she said she felt like they forced her to buy their crappy pedicure kit after she told him she didn't want it multiple times. When I found out and confronted the employees about what happened they all made excuses for his predatory sales tactics and many of the workers very obviously did not care. I had to remind them about 20 times she is a 14 year old CHILD and the sales worker was a grown man targeting her because she was by herself. These people will do anything for a quick buck, it's disgusting. read more

It was a total bait and switch!!!!! The product they put on my face at the kiosk was not the product they sold me. Then when they took me into their store they shuffled me through 3 different people, each saying this will only take 6-12 minutes, then after 40 minutes I left the store with a layer of goop still on my face. I was told their product was not for me because I apparently have enough self esteem to not be unhappy about any flaws. I do not recommend!!!!! read more

Totally bait and switch plus they quote one price...run it thru register and it is wrong amount and they refuse to correct. Will not let you do a return....had to file dispute with credit card company....stay away. read more

I have worked at he woodfield mall for 2 years. The entire time i've been at this mall, this store has had the pushiest, rudest employees of any store or kiosk in the mall. I never really thought much of it though, just kind of standard mall hustling, until today. I was walking past the store and a man at the door got my attention to hand me a lotion sample. I accepted it and started to keep walking, but he then asked me what kind of products i use for my face. After speaking for a moment, he led me into is store said he had a product for me to try. I told him no, i had to go to work and didn't have the time. He would not take no for an answer and insisted i give him my hand. After begrudgingly accepting, he lathered a cleansing gel on the back of my hand for a moment before making the remark "wow when's the last time you showered this is taking a while." Why would you say that to someone you are trying to sell something to!! Insane!!! Being relatively mortified, after he wiped the gel of my hand i said i was leaving. As i was going i saw him roll his eyes, as if it was my fault i was offended that he just called me dirty and was trying to hustle me for some BS cosmetic that i dont need and TRIED to tell him i didn't want. Im not the only one, either. I've heard stories of these people being ignored and following you all the way to the exit to try to get your attention. These people don't know how to take no for an answer and are incredibly rude. Don't go here. read more

Eight weeks after my first visit I am beyond happy with my results from the equipment purchase I made here in early January. Honestly prevented me from the dermal fillers I had an appointment for, that I did not want but thought were my only hope. Important to note that I FOLLOWED THE PROGRAM TO THE LETTER. It took over 6 weeks to see dramatic results, only minimal ones the first month (reduced pore size being the only initial visible improvement). The bags under my eyes are gone!! Nothing else has come amywhere close to what this did for them. I received follow up instruction and attention from my team and have had free follow up facials that are amazing. My skin is incredible when I walk out. I'm a real customer and am happy they lured me into the store. My results have me very satisfied and I will use this equipment for life. Its true, it is a non refundable purchase that they did explain to me before they had my credit card. But I'd not return it!!! read more
