During the past year I've had the amazing opportunity to take advantage of their FREE "Beauty Classes/Workshops", which I believe they began piloting since I was the only person there for the very first Skincare 101 class. Anyway I don't think every location has this feature, but just go on the Sephora website to check what they are offering and to reserve a spot. Example of some classes: Skincare 101, Contour & Highlight, Brow Shaping, Correct & Conceal, Nighttime/Daytime Smoky Eye The classes are typically on Sundays at 9:30AM before the store officially opens at 12PM and it usually finishes early so you have the rest of the time as "private shopping" time and to ask any additional questions. The classes are usually limited to 10-15 people so you can get more 1:1 attention. At the start of most classes they will do a color IQ on you to find the correct match in foundation. They really do a great job breaking down the steps so that anyone at any skill level can follow along. They also provide a clipboard with a diagram and overview of all the steps. The class is set up so that we watch the Artist with instruction do the live Demo on one of the Sephora cast members. Then we apply the same technique on ourselves at the work stations that they have set up for us. They provide all of the tools that we need (brushes, eye shadow, lip product etc...) and the facilitators will walk around to check and help everyone. The experience in the beauty classes has really impressed me and convinced me to update my review from a 4 to 5 star for the personalized experience.

I am severely disappointed in my recent experience with this Sephora. I frequently purchase from Sephora but typically only purchase online. I decided to go into the store and be fitted for a foundation color. The actual color matching consultation was great. But once I got home, and opened my newly purchased foundation, I found a mostly used foundation bottle in a completely wrong color from the box. I'm both disgusted that I have used makeup from who knows where and annoyed that I have to make an additional trip to the store to rectify the problem. I will NOT be visiting this particular store again after this incident and will stick to online ordering.

It's also the best insight I've received for personal care products from the gentleman who's always there (at least when I stop in.) There's ample parking in front of the shop, and it's a shop where you can sample just about everything before committing to a purchase. The Yelp details include no credit cards accepted, which is not the case. Credit cards are welcome here.

This place has hundreds of fragrances and hard to find men's and women's sundries. The proprietor is a quiet and nice man who was able to pinpoint the right product for me based on my request for something subtle. There have been a few unjustified bad reviews that I've read, and I have to blame the reviewers who are more likely the problem. Simply put, if you're going to shop retail, then purchase from retail. Don't walk in and try a bunch of fragrances then buy online to save a few bucks. Do the right thing by merchants that have rent to pay and operational expenses. Supporting local May cost a bit more but it worth it. Thank you sir for a great experience, I'll be back.

These are really good quality natural/raw fragrances that are beginner and sensitive friendly. As a person sensitive to smells and who doesn't really wear fragrances for fear of them being too powerful or causing migraine, I was skeptical of trying perfume. I was recommended to try BYREDO by my friends roommate who is into perfume because this business uses natural/raw ingredients to formulate their fragrances. I walked in and it was empty so I got some great service and tried almost all of the perfumes, and I realized what I liked/didn't like. It's hard to commit to just one fragrance so I opted to get a smaller perfume. Well the salesperson recommended I actually get 3 small ones for only $40 more. This is a great deal for a beginner like me who wants quality products and to explore what I like. And on top of that I was given the option of 3 free samples. And then they threw in a couple samples of body wash as well. I feel so pampered and am excited to wear my new perfumes. They didn't overwhelm me and since they are natural they won't trigger a migraine.

I was looking for both cologne and perfume for our upcoming wedding, and I think she sprayed me about 50 samples to try to find the perfect scent and feel for the day. For my perfume, she helped me find one that not only smelled nice but also had a pretty bottle (gotta do it for the pics!). I didn't feel rushed or pressured at all, and we had a great time just hanging out and sniffing all the things. I ended up buying a cologne (Mercedes -Benz Day) and a perfume (Chloé Love Story) at buy 1 get 1 half off, and I found it to be a very good deal. I'm so excited to spritz on our fancy scents for the first time on our wedding day and am so grateful for all of the attention and support from Fragrance Outlet!

The employees have always greeted me and gone above and beyond to be helpful. I owe my new signature scent to a recommendation of theirs - and I'm pretty picky. Overall, happy that I live in close proximity. I'll be returning for all future fragrance purchases for myself and loved ones!

Two weeks ago, while visiting, I walked in here out of curiosity and because I'm a frag-head. I walked out with three skincare products and three perfumes over the span of two days! The staff (especially Chuck) are friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. I've already used up a-third of one of the perfumes because it is THAT good! I'll be a customer for life! --- EDIT: In case anyone was curious as to the perfume which I had quickly used up, it was... *drum roll* ...ROSA NOVELLA! What a gorgeous fragrance!!! I initially did not like it the first day I visited this store. And that was only because I was expecting the scent of a traditional rose. It was anything but! I smelled it again the next day and couldn't help but keep sniffing the affected part of my forearm! Rosa Novella cocooned me in past memories that I didn't have, teased me with re-incarnations that I didn't live, and submerged me in landscapes unimaginable beyond the horizon of this observable universe. It's sexy, intelligent, and electrifying. What kind of sorcery was this?!? I knew I had to buy it the second day I came back. My only regret was not getting the larger size (100 ml). Alas, I can always order it in the future!!

That was just the service portion. The space is very calm, and welcoming. Beautifully done. Stands out nicely from its neighboring shops. The product is other level.
