    My recent visits to Nordstrom left me quite disappointed with the level of customer service, particularly in two different departments. This review is specific to customer service at the Brea Mall location. On May 17, 2025, I stopped by the Byredo counter hoping to purchase a lotion. The male associate informed me they were out of stock and needed to reorder. Since I was already there, I tried a perfume and sprayed it on a testing strip, he bluntly told me, "Could you spray away from the counter, because it gets sticky here". This felt incredibly rude and unwelcoming, and I simply walked away without saying anything further. From my experience, I've noticed a pattern in the Handbag Department that shows unfair distinction. On two separate occasions, when I was wearing a more visibly "signature" handbag, sales associates would either immediately compliment my purse or approach me, being overly attentive. In contrast, when I'm not carrying a high-end bag or dressed in more casual attire, no one even bothered to ask if I need help. This inconsistency in service based on a customer's appearance or style is very disappointing and frankly, quite off-putting for a store like Nordstrom. I believe that everyone should get a consistent standard of courteous and helpful service irrespective of what they are wearing.

    Usually I love Nordstrom but this location wasn't as appealing as South Coast. It was missing the nordies it factor. Even the ebar was mediocre.

    Avoid The Black Tux at the Brea Nordstrom -- terrible experience. The Black Tux location inside Nordstrom Brea is a joke. Nordstrom should either require them to have regular, reliable employees or remove them from the store altogether. I've heard great things about The Black Tux, but my experience was awful. The Brea "location" isn't even a real store -- it's just a few random chairs in the middle of a Nordstrom. I had a confirmed appointment for Sunday at 1 PM, but no one ever showed up. The day before, the same thing happened to another member of my wedding party. They warned me to call and confirm because their appointment had been randomly canceled. Unfortunately, the only way to reach anyone is through the corporate number, which means sitting on hold forever and still getting no real help. When I spoke with a Nordstrom sales associate, they said this happens often and that The Black Tux employees come and go whenever they want. He even apologized and recommended going with a different suit company. After being on hold with corporate for over an hour, they finally said someone might show up around 2:30 PM -- but they wouldn't be able to help me that day. It's completely unprofessional for a company that markets itself as a "luxury" suit rental service to have no dedicated staff or real storefront. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere that actually values their customers and their time. Tip: If you still plan to try them, call and confirm multiple times before going in -- they clearly don't value customers' time or commitments.

    I've been coming to this Nordstrom for as long as I can remember. I love it because I know where everything is. The people are wonderful that work there, but I have to admit it is taking its toll being brick and mortar. Please support in person shopping, this season especially!

    Extremely Disappointed with Curbside Pickup Service I've been a loyal Nordstrom customer since 2016 and have used curbside pickup since it first launched--so I know how it's supposed to work. This time, I waited 20 minutes in the designated stall before noticing another car pull up next to me and receive their order within 5 minutes. When I asked for help, an associate named Karly (I think that was her name) told me they "didn't get an alert" from me. She even had the audacity to question whether I entered a stall number when checking in--yes, I did, just like I always do. The app clearly said "Justine is getting your order." Karly offered to help and said she'd check on it. I waited another 5+ minutes, only to get a call from her saying the shoes I ordered were damaged and that she had to go downstairs to find a new pair. By this time, I had already waited a total of 30 minutes, was livid, and now running late for my family's dinner. Nordstrom Brea used to be my go-to location, especially because of their awesome customer service--but after this experience, they've lost me as a customer. This was disappointing, frustrating, and completely avoidable.

    Toxic Service & Complete Management Failure - AVOID THIS LOCATION…read more ​The Zara at Brea Mall is an absolute embarrassment to the brand. If you value being treated with basic human Decency, do not shop here. I walked out feeling disrespected and humiliated by a staff that is clearly untrained and hostile. ​The experience at the returns counter was a disaster from start to finish: ​The "Frontline" Issue: The associate (thin with black hair) was flat-out insulting. She rolled her eyes, talked down to me, and acted like following the store's own return policy was a personal burden to her. It wasn't just "attitude"--it was blatant unprofessionalism. ​The Incompetence: A second associate with curly hair actually found me an exchange item in a larger size, only to suddenly "change her story" and claim it wasn't policy. Don't offer solutions you don't understand; it's misleading and incompetent. ​The "Leadership": When the manager was called over, things actually got worse. Instead of de-escalating, the manager was arrogant, dismissive, and provided zero help. ​When the leadership is this rude, it explains why the staff feels comfortable mistreating paying customers. This isn't just one "bad day"--it's a systemic failure in training and accountability. Zara corporate needs to take a hard look at the Brea location because the current staff is driving loyal customers away for good. I will never spend another dime here.

    I had a fantastic shopping experience at J.Crew Factory in Brea thanks to Keith!…read more I came in looking for white summer pants for an upcoming vacation and wasn't sure where to start. Keith immediately jumped in to help, bringing me multiple styles and sizes to try on. He was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to talk to. Because of his friendly approach, I felt comfortable trying on items I normally wouldn't have considered. With Keith's help, I ended up building a beautiful summer vacation capsule wardrobe. I also found out both a teacher and healthcare professional, I qualified for an additional 15% discount, which I greatly appreciated. The best part is that this shopping trip inspired me to go home and completely clean out my closet. I donated four large bags of clothing and, with just a few carefully selected pieces from J.Crew Factory (and a few items from Nordstrom Rack and some from my closet), I was able to create 42 summer outfits from only 7 tops and 6 bottoms! Keith's customer service went far beyond helping me find a pair of pants. He made the shopping experience enjoyable, helped me discover a new favorite store, and gave me the confidence to build a wardrobe that truly works for me. Thank you, Keith, for your outstanding customer service. J.Crew Factory is lucky to have you! 5/5 Stars!

This brand always gives me major '90s throwback vibes, which I appreciate. The store itself is very clean, items well stocked and well-organized, with plenty of space to browse. There were only a couple other customers inside. That said, the staff were chit-chatting and didn't seem particularly engaged to acknowledge you as you walk by which put a bit of a damper on the experience. (FYI - I like to be left alone when I'm browsing, but a courtesy hello would be nice when you come in). I wandered around for a while but didn't find anything that stood out enough to buy --- the sale wasn't a wow-factor...even with 60% off clearance. Overall, it's nice to have this store here, but my visit felt a little underwhelming. Maybe need to try again for Black Friday!

The first time I showed up about 8 months ago and the store was closed - during business hours. It wasn't even lunch time. Today I was at the Brea Mall so I thought I'd try again.

Their business hours are listed 12-5pm. Do they open at 12 and then go on a 2 hour lunch break? I really don't get it. I showed up at their store at 1:15pm today, and just as I was parking, a young man was at the front door, changing the little sign with a Clock that shows when they will be back!! What the hell?
