I Knew what she has been looking for but once my mom got to the store on Monday, 8/7/2023, I knew we needed help and in Philadelphia and NJ lush stores the associates are Super pros and Experts. I'm not sure why this store was Different on our visit. Deeply disappointing and frustrating. I had lots of ideas and questions so I asked the 2 young ladies but they completely disregarded me and continued talking even when I said Excuse me and they just ignored me. I Hope they DONT work on commission, or Maybe they just make a salary and Do Not Care about customers or any kinds of Customer Service. My mind honestly was blown away. If I acted like this, I wouldn't have a job. I went further inside the store and stood in line at the register and the bubbly and kind Asian cashier answered my questions about anti aging and about their enchanted Eye cream! Half of my battle was done and so when I asked her to point me towards that area of this Wonderful enchanted Eye Cream, she did not respond with directions. She walked away to her associates who ignored me and then told me she was Off the clock and the girl who previously ignored me attempted to help me. Why was she blowing me off when she just Could have said pointed me in the direction of the cream instead of passing me off to someone who Clearly Did Not want to Help me. I'm so aggravated when I just wanted to buy gifts for someone who I love. I'm amazed that anyone is allowed to Treat customers or any other person like this. We WONT be back. Ever. I hope they can at least are train their workers. They may need a new job where they Do NOT EVER work with People. I can understand if it was a Ghetto-Hood-Rat place, but there are some really nice and high end stores. It's a pity that their associates have no clue how to demonstrate "Customer Service". I also see many great reviews but the 4&5 Star reviews show purchasing online or shopping self serve and not needing any associates Help.

Minimal packaging and loads of items made fresh weekly (word to the wise, give a gift card or buy a day or two before gifting because some items like the face masks have to be refrigerated and expire 30 days after purchase). Don't be shy to ask for demos or samples of things to make sure you find the product that is right for you. I appreciate that I never feel pressured by the staff to buy anything and always feel that they are able to answer any questions I may have. I do find the price point a bit high so I end up sticking with companies like Bath and Body Works for my day to day purchases even though I'd prefer the products here. It'd be nice if they had a weekly sale or at least it seems I never pop in when there's a sale. While I don't mind letting my husband steal some of my philosophy products from Sephora I don't want him using up half of one of my face washes in one fell swoop! Portions are small and prices are high - so plan accordingly to what's worth the bang for your buck :-) With names like chocolate cupcake for face masks, you may want to have a bite to eat before popping in or you're tummy will be growling in no time at all! See you soon Lush :-)

Mother Earth Essentials is a store that sells bath and skincare products, as well as candles and…read moreteas. Their products are their own brand, and are made in Canada. They are an indigenous-owned business. I received their Cedar Balsam candle as a gift from my sister-in-law and it smells divine! It's a natural woody scent that makes me feel close to nature. It's made of soy wax, is non-GMO and the wick is made of unbleached cotton. The candle was part of a personally curated gift box that contained my sister-in-law's "Favourite Things." Well, guess what? Mother Earth Essentials' Cedar Balsam candle is now one of MY favourite things too, lol.

I'm constantly looking for new options to reduce the amount of chemicals in my personal care…read moreproducts (soaps, shampoo, creams/lotions, etc.) So this store was a fantastic find! You can drive by & easily miss it. Next time, pull in the parking lot (free parking) and take a look. It's a 100% Aboriginal owned & operated small business using locally sourced ingredients and essence from sacred plants. They have a really unique and important mission statement which sets them apart from other similar businesses. As for their products, I loved pretty much everything in their store. You can view their entire collection online. I particularly love their soaps. They have a wide range that appeals to many people. I love the Wild Mint & Sage. They also sell a line of healing teas, but I looked mostly at the skin products. And all their prices are completely competitive (if not a bit cheaper) than other companies selling similar products. And as far as I could see, they really are 100% natural. Companies like LUSH still use chemicals like Sodium-Laureth-Sulfate which are known to disrupt hormones & possibly cause cancer. Everything I looked at here at Mother Earth Essentials looked completely natural. ...exactly what I was looking for!

You have to be a certified hair stylist or beautician to shop at Modern Beauty Supplies. As someone…read morewho likes to dye their hair silly colours, I'm like a kid in a candy store whenever I go in. The shelves are packed with the latest brands and hottest trends, from shampoos, to hot tools and barbering essentials. If you are a hairstylist looking or some inspiration, don't forget to check the noticeboard for the upcoming classes hosted at the downtown location. Modern are always bringing in top stylists from TIGI, Keune, Moroccanoil and other top brands, to offer training in a variety of colouring techniques, braiding, waxing and even eye lash extension classes.

Now everyone and their dog likes nice-smelling things - candles, lotions, aromatherapy oils, soaps, lip balms, body scrubs, lip polishes - It's outta control! Every time I've walked by Bath & Body Works it looks like it's Boxing Day. This place is a mega warehouse for everything that smells, softens and soothes. It's pure sensory overload! The bottle of creams are stack on shelves, in cubbies, on tables and in glass cases like fine jewelry or clothing. It's almost comic that so many people are milling through the aisles trying to find the body cream that defines them. Is it key lime verbena or pina colada passion? Don't get me wrong. I love this stuff. But the quality of product here is a bit watered down. It's not as good as Body Shop or spa-quality products. But that isn't stopping people from shopping here in droves. They're going to give Body Shop a run for their money.

It looks like The Body Shop's got some stiff competition! If you're a fan of this popular lotions…read moreand potions brand, then you've probably already gone to see this new location. If you haven't, where have you been?? This store is usually jam-packed with people, but lately it seems it's even more so, if that's possible. BBW now has their new Christmas fragrances out, and prepackaged gift sets as well, so shoppers are probably racing to get their hands on those. The scent is quite heavy when you walk into the store. My boyfriend, who doesn't quite like fragrances, said it smelled like overdone curry. But don't worry, he thinks Chanel No. 5 is some classified document to protect the country from invasion or something. They have their classic scents like Lime Verbena and Warm Vanilla Sugar, as well as new ones like Twisted Peppermint and Black Amethyst. The bath and body products are at the front of the store, while makeup, skincare, haircare and home fragrances are located in back. The cash register is also all the way in back, which is a clever ploy to get you to walk through the whole store. They have some pretty good deals on right now too, like 3 antibacterial hand soaps for $12. I saw many empty shelves though; things go pretty quick here! And I'm not exaggerating when I say it was mayhem when I went. You would've thought it was already Christmas! I needed to fight my way through the crowds. Just remember to be cautious while having fun here. Lots of people use the spray testers liberally, so be careful you don't get accidentally sprayed!

I get a good haircut here with Riley, and I do keep coming back…read more I do think it's worth mentioning that the last couple of times I've had a haircut booked, they call me and move it within about an hour of the appointment. There is no reason given, and although I understand things happen and come up, it doesn't reflect well on the business if I can't rely on them to consistently make their appointments. Not to mention their own cancellation policy requires 24 hours in advance. Although I intend to return to get my haircut this time, I'm not sure that I will continue to come back if appointments keep getting moved like this.
