Sephora in this shopping center? YES, PLEASE. First of all, location is everything. I am so excited that I can get my beauty products AND stop by Sprouts and Nordstrom Rack in one shopping trip (also soon to be Bath and Body Works). Second, the staff here is so friendly and helpful. I felt welcome as soon as I entered the store. Finally, since it is so new, the vibes inside are wonderful. It is well organized, clean, and provides tons of beauty product options. I think I've stopped by 4-5 times since it opened earlier this month (I forget to Yelp check-in sometimes). It's a standard Sephora store but my favorite thing about it is the location. Sometimes I want to take a break from online shopping and actually go into a store to browse. I don't have to drive to Valley Plaza anymore if I want to check things out. It's great! read more

So many people walking around and none of the cashiers will check you out with their handheld POS device. With 30 people in line is ridiculous. Two cashiers told me they were busy as they were wandering around not really making any sales... I took a picture of the things I wanted, and I will buy them online. read more

I love this store, but I always spend too much money here. I came in to pick up an online order and was greeted right away, by several staff. I received my order quickly and even found a couple new items. I'm obsessed with this Rare Beauty perfume. It's amazing! You purchase the different layering balms and it changes the scent. It's very hard to find so I had to pick it up while it was in stock! read more

As of 2025: Always out of stock of the best items. A handful of employees are kind of rude and snobbish, always talking amongst themselves. Even the manager ignores customers. It seems like the nicer employees are usually the newer ones. When doing online order with in-store pickup, they leave you waiting for awhile before anyone thinks to attend to you. Same thing if you're the only person in line, no one will come to help you until many minutes have passed and the line begins to grow. The reason I continue to visit this location is simply out of convenience, and that there are some employees who are still courteous and attentive. Initially, when this store first opened, all the employees were kind and helpful. I think they wanted to do something different than the Valley Plaza location, which had many bad reviews of snobby employees at the time. But the longer the store remains open, the more that this rudeness appears as a typical trademark of the Sephora brand. Surprisingly, the VP location has the nicest employees now. read more

To say the customer service here is horrible, would be an understatement. Never have we had a salesperson treat our 86 year old mom so poorly. The guy working there was rude and disrespectful with no awareness of the needs of elders. I will NEVER GO BACK. read more

I love all their products & how incredibly helpful their staff is! They also have great sales & even special gifts for your birthday. Absolutely recommend this place! read more

Every time I go into Sephora, the ladies are always so sweet. Someone will help you if you have a question or problem. The cashier is always kind and quick. I really like Sephora's makeup, which is not expensive, and it works great!! When you shop and buy, you get points that go towards free items!! And these items are good and yours right then and there! read more

SEPHORA - These two for $20......love it! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I just went by the sephora on stockdale in Baketsfield CA. I parked in the curbside pickup to go get an item, but I had pickups at the store next to it too. there were no handicap options and my husband is handicapped so since we were going to be doing both, I thought no big deal. I do understand people use those spots selfishly at times but i didnt expect a store associate to come out and yell at me and embarrass me very badly. I told her the predicament of handicap and she continued to tell me to move. she was so rude and I got in the car crying. my husband was furious and wanted to see the manager but I asked him for us just to leave. I was picking up an order for my mom but I will NEVER shop at that sephora again nor do pickups. I may never shop sephora at all again due to that employee. im regretful I did not get her name. Great attitude during Christmas. thanks for ruining my evening and spirit. I also want to note the pickup sign is only im front of 1 spot, not both. I do know its both spots having been there and used it before, but if I hadn't and was treated that way, it would be even worse. read more

Now that I am getting a little older, my wife has gotten me to take better care of my skin and hair. Apparently you can't use the same bottle to wash your face, hair, and body. Who knew? I have started a new skincare routine as well as hair since I don't want to try the bald look when I am older lol. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

My daughter and I had a horrible shopping experience at this location. We were enjoying our girls' day until Jessica, one of the managers, walked by us several times asking if I needed any help, accompanied with a rude and condescending facial expression and tone of voice each time. We were asked by 3 different employees within a 10 minute period if we needed any help, despite me saying "No, thank you" each time. I felt as if the two female employees were being suspicious that we were shoplifting since my daughter and I had been in the store for almost an hour, browsing and deciding on which items to purchase. I understand customer service and customer engagement on the floor is important but when you are asking the same customer if they need help and giving that customer a nasty, rude facial expression accompanied with a rude tone of voice, it's a poor reflection of their customer service behavior. When we paid for our items at the register, I made a verbal complaint to the cashier about Jessica's rude and condescending behavior, tone of voice, and rude facial expressions, and was laughed at by the woman at the register, saying, "Oh my gosh, Jessica is like the sweetest person, if you give her a chance!" I remarked at her, "If Jessica is the sweetest person, then why would she come up to me to ask me if I needed help and give me a nasty, rude facial expression as she's walking away?" The female employee at the register and Jessica continued to argue back at me defending that Jessica did nothing wrong, with Jessica saying, "I'm sorry, I can't change my face...my face is just that way..." after I showed them the facial expression that Jessica made at my daughter and I while we were shopping. I responded with, "Well, Jessica, you can change your facial expression and improve your attitude." My daughter at this point was crying her heart out because of the confrontation that was taking place before her, which both of the employees continued to escalate in an unprofessional manner with no offer of any resolution. After our sales transaction was completed, my daughter and I proceeded to walk out of the store, while my daughter is still crying. Jessica proceeded to follow us to the front of the store, being invasive and rudely saying, "Excuse ma'am, excuse me ma'am, excuse me, I'm talking to youuu!" as I'm trying to console my crying daughter. I told her to "just leave us alone because we're having a terrible shopping experience here" and left. I have never experienced such a horrible shopping experience in my girls' day out with my daughter. Shame on you, Jessica! Definitely not coming back to this Sephora location and filing a complaint with Sephora's customer service department. read more

Went in today for new make up, specifically for mature women. Taylor helped me and she was awesome! Thanks Taylor!

My preference location. Always a good experience Employees are super sweet and helpful especially the elderly blonde lady! read more

Don't come here the manager Susie will rush you and not acknowledge you when you come in. I have never had such a bad experience before here. Upper management needs to see who they put in charge of their sales associates. read more

The person I ran into here was rude, her tone was something like snobbish and childish. Looking for shampoo that did not come in a dirty bottle. I felt the person I ran into there was rude and snobbish its the way she talked to me and her tone. I just wish they would hire people that don't think they are better than you if you have a question, so nevermind they are rude here. read more

I don't give reviews of the store in general I give reviews on the person and I want to give a shout to Karla! She is the best beauty advisor in the store she pays so much attention to you and also gives you so much advise. She is the best and amazing person. I love getting get help from her. I feel like I take up her time but her customer service is amazing!! Karla you are the best and keep doing what your doing to give amazing customer service read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. The young man I spoke to over the phone was rude condescending and utterly useless and unhelpful. Just wanted to know if they had a certain perfume in stock. He refused to even check. Instead told me to go online to see who has it in stock. He refused to give me his name and hung up on me. On 12/22/2024. At 12pm pst. Completely unprofessional and unnecessarily rude. Was definitely in a mood. Or maybe he is always lazy and rude. read more

Got followed around this store the entire time which has never happened to me before but still ended up spending 200$ though, despite having an employee with a bad dye job side eyeing me every time I moved a muscle lol I'll stick with Ulta next time. read more

So nice to have another Sephora in town! Hated going to Valley Plaza just to go to Sephora. Love that it's all new and clean. Parking could be better as it seems very congested in this part of the center. However, happy to have a new Sephora in town and was pleased with the service. read more

This has to be the better Sephora in Bakersfield. Everytime I come to this one I am greeted at the door by the really kind employees, I am helped immediately, and I always feel like I can carry a conversation with the people working there. They don't sound like they absolutely hate their job which is a plus, but I get how working at Sephora can be draining. I think my only complaint is that sometimes the associates push color matching onto you. I went in recently and was helped by a very nice young woman and everything went fine until she asked if I needed a color match. I just laughed and told her no thank you, and we talked a bit more and she decided to basically force me to comply to a color match for a foundation I wasn't even interested in. She kinda took it upon herself to apply product to my forehead without my consent. I'll give her this, the product did match very well but it's like...no thank you lol. Then she asked if I needed a tissue, I said sure, she walked away and never came back lmao. The entire situation was pretty funny looking at it, but it's just because I find anything funny, but this could've happened to the wrong person and started an issue. I figured I'd write this review because 99 percent of the time I have a great experience, and the workers seem very knowledgeable and great to talk to. They're nicer than the ones at Valley Plaza Atleast lol read more

Great customer service, clean and organized. I have been here several times and always greeted with since happy energy.

Frankie had excellent customer service. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, even if that meant her running all over the store. I highly recommend this location and recommend Frankie to be the person to help you make your selections. read more

I LOVED the amazing service I received from here. I went in not knowing any particular foundation, concealer, or primer I wanted to try but I was helped by Atziri and she was the best! The rest of the staff was very nice as well. read more

Went in today to look at the rare beauty liquid blush at this location. Wasn't greeted but whatever I understand it's busy but what I didn't care for is that I wasn't asked if I needed help. I had two associates walk right past me like I wasn't even there. I've seen good reviews about this location but next time be more courteous and acknowledge that I'm there. read more

I walked into this Sephora looking for a new lipstick. While I walked around searching for a new lipstick, two employees stood in the corner gossiping about what they did the night before. I asked another employee for help and she ignored me. It was a terrible experience and I walked out with no new lipstick. This Sephora has bad customer service. read more

Customer service was terrible! I waited 15 minutes to make a purchase at the register and was never acknowledged!! Walked in to the store without being greeted or acknowledged!!! Take time to acknowledge or say something! 3. Lurks on the floor and no one had time !! read more

Reili is my girl! Wow! After being super frusterated by going to Ulta and the mall I landed here which just happens to be the closest beauty store to my house, yay! This gal went above and beyond in every way. She is the one who took my call the other day when I was asking what they have to offer at their store, the one that greeted me and helped me through my whole first Sephora experience. I was going in for some new makup to work with my changing post baby skin and I ended up leaving with skin care products that will actually help my skin to make my makeup look better and my skin on non makeup days.(most days mom life) I learned SO much from this girl! She truly took the time to listen to EVERYTHING, I mean truly everything I said. Skincare is what I really need to be focusing on to get the look I'm wanting to achieve with makeup. I had so many ideas going in there and walked out with nothing I thought I needed. After just a few days with my new products I can truly see and feel a significant difference in my skin already! Reili has a wonderful work ethic and very professional demeanor. She dresses and presents herelf very well. She showed me how the products worked instead of just telling me. She didnt rush me at all and they were busy. She was even being a teamplayer when she was helping me, but in a way where I still felt 100% focused on. I've worked in customer service and customer service management for years and she gave the feel and presentation I always strived to give and for my team to give. I'm itching to go back already to get her advice on some other cosmetic interests I now want to look into like lip coloring and honestly just to go back. I had such a fun time in this store. Never thought I would have fun looking at skincare products. There was another gal with blonde hair I believe named Jessica that was very kind and informative too. She consulted with this fellow professional on a few of my makeup products. The whole staff wished me well as I left. Great experience. I prefer shopping online, but will definitely take the time to physically come in this store for the experience and expertise. read more

i was completely bothered about my shopping experience and felt harassed while trying to browse at products and shop with my daughter !!! i am aware that customer engagement on the sales floor is always the first priority, but having 6 different employees come up to me within a 20 minute time span and continuously hover over us was a bit excessive. i felt as if we were being watched and stereotyped as suspicious shoplifters. none of the employees on the sales floor had a positive approach when they greeted us. such bad attitudes and looked lost. i took my daughter outside to sit in the car and came back in to quickly purchase the 2 out of 3 products that i initially came in for. yet again asked twice now by the same employee " if i was sure everything was okay *while he rolled his eyes at me* and walked off. the only person who i enjoyed was the cashier who checked me out. she was informative about gift cards and assisted me with the loyalty program such an awkward yet uncomfortable experience. read more

I came in looking for a body scrub and I was immediately was greeted by a lovely sales associate that offered to get me a basket and told me the current sales and promotions going on. I originally was not shopping for hair care but getting 4x the points seemed like it would be worth it to look into. I picked up my skinfix and wanted to still look around and another sales associate asked if I needed help. I asked her about hair care and then I believe the manager might've been helping me at that point. I frequent this Sephora and the times I've seen her she is usually in the front. I could be wrong. Not sure. Anyway, she was great and so informative. I had so many questions regarding different brands and ingredients in the products. I had specific results for my hair and I feel like I ended up with a great purchase. It's rare to find great customer service but it was so nice! I ended up purchasing Ouai fine hair shampoo and conditioner as well as the necessaire body set and I'm excited to try the for my what "feels like a spa" products! read more
