Makup I Purchased At Glendale Galleria
Priscilla V.

To Whom It May Concern at MAC Cosmetics, I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the service I recently received at your Arcadia, CA location (400 S Baldwin Avenue, Suite 352). As a long-time and loyal customer of MAC Cosmetics, I feel compelled to bring to your attention an experience that fell far below the standard of professionalism and customer service I have come to expect from your brand. Throughout the years, MAC Cosmetics has been synonymous with quality and excellence for me. I have visited MAC stores across different locations, including international ones like Paris and Mexico, and have always had positive experiences. Unfortunately, my recent encounter at the Arcadia store was disheartening. I had booked a 15-minute Holiday Glam appointment online and arrived at the store well before my scheduled time. However, from the moment I entered, I was met with an unwelcoming atmosphere. There was a lack of greeting, and I sensed an almost disdainful look from the staff, particularly the makeup artist assigned to my appointment. I understand the importance of respecting the time of makeup artists, and I appreciate their need to efficiently manage appointments. However, the attitude at this particular store was far from the professionalism I've encountered elsewhere. The makeup artist, without any warm greeting, quickly informed me that this was not a makeup session but merely a 15-minute courtesy appointment. I assured her that I was aware of the nature of the appointment but had expected a bit of the Holiday Glam touch, given the specific booking. Instead of addressing my concerns, she curtly suggested that the manager would explain the process to me. When the manager arrived, she politely inquired about the key features I wanted to focus on. I specified my preferences for skin and eyebrows, to which she agreed. However, the makeup artist continued the service with complete silence, not providing any information about the products or the process. It left me feeling uncomfortable and unappreciated as a customer. At one point, when the makeup artist left to showcase holiday promotional products, her demeanor suddenly changed to friendliness with another customer. I found this inconsistency in customer treatment troubling. In the end, I had to complete parts of the makeup application myself, using my own products, as there was a lack of communication and engagement from the makeup artist. Not a single word was exchanged during the process, and even as I left the store, there was no acknowledgment from either the makeup artist or the manager. This experience has left me questioning the commitment to customer service at this specific MAC Cosmetics location. I hope my feedback can contribute to improvements in the professionalism and customer engagement at the Arcadia store. As a loyal MAC customer, I took my business to the Glendale Galleria MAC Cosmetics store (2117) afterward, where I received the exceptional service I have come to expect from your brand. I urge you to address the issues at the Arcadia store to ensure that other customers do not have to endure a similar disappointing experience. Glendale is a great place to get your Mac Cosmetics. Thank you ladies for being wonderful.

I had such a terrible time there during my pickup for my online order. Such a terrible experience. I placed an order online for pick up. Upon arriving, I gave them my order number, they were two separate orders. She bought me one bag saying that it was actually returned and I have to re-purchase the all 4 of the items. She asked for my ID and my card and when she came back she told me that she gave me 10% off. I told her that when I placed the order it was for 30% off, she told me at least she gave me 10% off. I walked away frustrated, called their customer service and to confirm that my order were canceled. She confirm that one of my orders were actually delivered today at my home at 12:45 PM and the other one is still ready to be picked up. So I re-purchase four items on top of the ones I ordered online. I tried to return the items to the Mac where I am at and I was told that I could not return it because she gave me that lame 10% off discount. Had to drive to the original store again and explain this whole dilemma. I was so frustrated and lied to. I feel as though that she just wanted to get the sale, aren't I right? There was no need for me to purchase any products again plus 10% off and make my items non-returnable. This is despicable!

Recently was invited to an event by MAC to come and get first peek at the new M*A*C x Nikki Minaj line that came out. Wasn't certain on what to expect other than testing some of Nikki's Nudes.....but I left beyond pleased! We did have some wait time....not much (working with customers) ....but all the employees acknowledged us and as soon as they became available we're hands down AWESOME! Marissa got me set up with a few other gals and even came over to make sure I was flawless when I left! Walked out with Nikki's N*U*D*E and kept getting major compliments on my lips! Even went back to get the same shade for my coworker! Second major Event experienced at this store and it's always been GREAT service......positive ENERGY and I don't think I'll be going to another MAC store!

Nine months ago, I had an excellent review. Today is a different story. Last Friday I bought my…read morehair color that I've been purchasing from them 7-00and 8-00. The next morning I colored my hair for an event and when I opened the box for 7-00, it was half a tube of 6-00.Easy mistake. They have a hair salon next-door could've happened. I can see how it can happen. Not a big deal. What is a big deal is how Michelle, the buyer/manager treated me. When I first called her up, I asked to speak to the manager and she said the manager was not in and that she's the buyer she could help me. I told her the story, she said, you cannot return used hair color. I said, it's not a color I used. It's an incorrect color in the tube that I purchased. She said bring it in. I'll match the number with my inventory number and if it's there, I'll take care of you. I was a little frustrated and annoyed at that but I'm like OK. I couldn't go in until Tuesday. And she was not in. The person behind the counter (very nice ) took a picture of the product and my receipt and said she was sending the picture right then and a message. So I left. ***note*** it was at this time that I asked the person behind the counter if Michelle, was the buyer and the manager, and she said yes. *** I come back the next day, Thursday. So I call before heading in. Once again, I asked to speak to the manager and she wants to know who's calling. So, I asked to speak to the buyer, and she's ready to talk. Then, I tell her I'm the one who her associate sent the hair color box and my receipt. And it's frustrating because she acts like she has zero idea what this is about but then immediately says it did not match my inventory number. So that upset me. And I tell her, " that's not true" and she says well you only bought 800. And I said no, if you look at my receipt, it shows I bought two colors!! Now,I'm very frustrated because the finger is being pointed at me and I'm the customer!! I have been calling now three times to resolve this issue. And in her tone, she says how she's not trying to give me a hard time, and I said it seems like you are. And then she says come into the store. We're open from whatever to whatever and hangs up. I get to the store and she is there. I say are you Michelle the buyer, and she says yes. I said I'm the one who's trying to return the color. And she acts like she has no idea, again, about what I'm talking about. So, one more time I have to tell her the entire story. And she knows it. I know she knows. She's not dumb. She is the manager and the buyer. She's capable. She's just playing some kind of terrible game with a customer who's trying to resolve a $13 issue. And that is how I feel. And this is why I won't be returning to the store again and why I had her remove my points that I had and the ability to earn points. I deleted the app. I will never go to the store again because of her, Michelle, the manager, that she does not want to admit that she is. And the buyer She could not have been more rude to me if she tried! Her whole tone, her demeanor, her handling of the products, her body language, her look at me. It was just not a good thing to happen for a $13 product. Of which I had the box and the receipt for. And I brought in the other box that I purchased. And before I left, I raised my voice and I said you are so rude. You're not a nice person and she said I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry she kept saying that. I'm like you're not sorry, you could've handled this differently. You're rude. Your customer service is terrible. the whole time she kept saying, I'm sorry. And I left. As I was walking out, she yells FORGIVE AND FORGET. And I replied, I will forgive, but I'm never gonna forget. And sadly, I won't. And I liked the store. They had great product. There is another lady that was there, that was always very nice. But if a little mistake happens, their buyer/ manager is not the person to resolve that issue. She is horrible. I cannot say that enough.

My sister dragged me into this store because she wanted to show me how amazing it was. I'm not the…read morebeauty guru myself so I wasn't that excited, but I'm really glad that I went in! The staff was really friendly. There was a young girl working there who I unfortunately did not get the name of, however she greeted us when we walked in and then came to ask if we needed help with anything. Which we didn't at first but she made us feel comfortable enough to ask her for help later on. The store layout is nicely put. There's make up all around, a nail polish section, a hair section, and then to my surprise even a hygiene section, which I was most excited about considering I wasn't there for the make up. They had products ranging from shampoo & conditioner, shower scrubs/loofas, hair brushes & dye, etc. Usually I have to go to three different places like Hans, JoAnne's, and CVS for things that I can now get ALL AT THIS ONE STORE! I'm extremely excited about this. Lastly, the price! I'm a broke college student but I still need necessities that fortunately this store offers! Products ranged from $2-6 dollars and the most expensive thing I saw was a nail kit with tools and such INSIDE a nice case, and it was only $10. Overall I am so happy with this new store's customer service, product offerings, and prices. I hope this review convinced you to try out a new local business and help support our town.

I walked in the other day because I had heard this place had makeup. Unfortunately, I had lost my…read moremakeup bag on a trip and I had an event coming up where I desperately needed makeup. One of the cashiers that goes by the name of Brenna was so helpful! She helped me find everything I needed to find and I was able to pick a few things that I didn't even know I needed. Great place and piercing selection.
