I just wanted to give a shout out to the employee named Ellison with the cat tattoo. She's super awesome and helped me so much finding the right color foundation for my skin which generally is a very difficult task since I am both multi ethnic and I have combination skin. I don't go to Sephora often but when I do it's for a very specific items and I was definitely very happy leaving today. read more

I don't know the name of who helped me yesterday. They were great though. Helped me with finding skin care. I've been having oddly sensitive skin lately, and they pointed me towards a wonderful moisturizer and the ceo glow which smells amazing and my skin loves. Thank you!! read more

Accident happened on March 20, 2020 (at 3:50ish PM) Worker: short, Asian girl with balck hair I would give this place 0 starts if I could for the terrible service a friend and I received. My friend came to pick up an order he had placed online mind you, a significant amount of money was spent. I was browsing as my friend was waiting behind a group who was talking to the worker. When this worker was done with the customers, my friend proceeded to say "hi" (which I heard from a few feet away). The workers just kept on walking, for a second I thought she didn't hear, my friend say "hello, excuse me" and again she just tried to go around him. At this point I look over and my friend is literally following her around trying to get their attention. I've never seen this kind of shit service. Why woke in retail if you don't want to help customers? So disappointed. read more

Bad experience here for my gift return. Use to love coming to this sephora because of the friendly staff, but I haven't been back since the first Covid shutdown. But they have obviously hired new people who don't care for customer service. However the staff at the queue was nice since she asked what I was coming in for and I told her I wanted to exchange a gift I received but did not have the receipt. So she explained to me that I would just need the beauty insider of the person who purchased it. At the register the staff told me that was not possible since she could not pull up someone else's info which is understandable. However I had my friend on the phone who could provide the info and she still refused. A picture of the membership should have sufficed, but she told me harshly that the person had the be there in person. Luckily my friend was in the shopping center nearby, but they were held up by the line outside. So I decided to shop so I could just exchange the gift, however those 20mins were horrible. A staff was constantly staring at me and watching my every move, which made me feel uncomfortable to shop there. Every 5 mins a staff would ask if I need help and when I asked if something was in stock she would rudely say "No". Treating your customers this way is awful, horrible experience at this sephora location. When my friend finally got in the store we decided just to get store credit because this environment was hostile. read more

Fix your timing nonsense! 4th of July in google it shows you guys are open and I went there is shit was closed, I have to call colma Sephora and luckily they were open. Nonsense fix you time. read more

Worker's are rude and not supportive of any questions I had. They were more interested in their coworkers conversations than helping customers. Go to Mac or anywhere else. read more

Had the BEST customer service EVER! Was there earlier this week to p/u some online purchases but wondered in to return an item since I could not try on (new concealer color, wasn't sure of). However, I was approached by Alison who was the most helpful customer service and sales person I have ever encountered. Long story short, ended up getting the right match for concealer and bought a few other things to compliment. Great Customer service is hard to find nowadays, I'm so glad I found Alison. BTW, I live in San Francisco but I'm driving to Daly City for my Sephora purchases. read more

Went in to find a new moisturizer with some pretty specific needs and Cece was wonderful and incredibly helpful. I ended up taking home the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer. Just tried it tonight and I absolutely love it! Store was super clean and all the employees were knowledgeable and friendly. read more

SEPHORA - Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Daly City, California

My first impression was that the beauty associates at this Sephora are the worst! I went to this associate standing free (found out later her name was Cece) asked her if she could help me. She gave me this judgy side-eye look, ignored me and walked away. I was taken aback and went to the register to ask them to assign someone. The register person apologized that they were short staffed and asked in her headset for someone to come help me. Cece came around in my aisle, saw me, made an "oh shit" face and did a uturn. After 2 mins I saw her with a lady who already had an associate helping her! Just adding "oh yeah that looks good I agree". For a store that was short staffed, 2 people waiting on a lady seems excessive when 1 patron had no-one. I wasn't wearing makeup (to get an accurate foundation shade match) and can't believe someone would go out of their way to avoid helping me just because I didn't look "put together". I would have never gone to this branch again if the associate who finally helped me (Holly) didn't work there. Holly was the absolute sweetest. Only reason I'm giving this 2 stars otherwise even 1 star would be too much for the bitchy attitude I initially got. Sephora, train your associates better to not make customers feel like shit. read more

There is a line of 10 people and only one person is checking people out while there are 15 other employees just walking around the store. I will be going elsewhere next time. Very poor customer service read more

I'm really not a makeup person, but Sephora is the place to go for holiday shopping. I went during Black Friday and found so many deals on stocking stuffers that I went crazy and purchased almost a dozen different items. There were such good deals and the staff were great in pointing out all the items that met my price point. Oh shoot, did I just mess myself up for all my secret santa giveaways this year? Just know I was thinking of you when I picked up that 1) eyeshadow palate, 2) lipstick combo or 3) face powder and concealer. Happy holidays! read more

Customer service is amazing at this location! It's been over a year since I wore any makeup. I decided to go to Sephora to pick up a few key essentials to start wearing makeup again. From the moment I stepped in, the associates were very friendly and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I was helped quickly to get a concealer shade matched. While browsing around looking at Fenty products, Villie complimented my sweater. I asked him for several product recommendations. He took the time to explain each use case to determine if the products were suited for everyday wear. As a makeup newbie, I felt like I could trust his knowledgeable responses to all my questions. All the associates at this location are very welcoming and provide exceptional customer service. I will definitely be returning! read more

I love that they offer help right when you walk through the doors. I'm not really the type to ask for help so that was awesome. The girl at the door was incredibly friendly(unfortunately I forgot her name) and partnered me up with Villie (I hope I spelled her name correctly). She matched me to the shade I needed. I don't wear any face makeup so I don't really know anything about shades or anything. She also sold me on the new Selena Gomez line. Walked in for 2 things and came out with 5 and I am not even into makeup. Overall, all of the staff we're incredibly helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this location. They're also extremely clean and they make sure that their staff is protected from COVID-19. read more

I've coincidentally been greeted by Ari the past several times I've visited this location, and she gives every customer in line stellar service every time! Super peppy, makes sure to acknowledge every customer in a super friendly manner, engages in full on conversations, and figures out our needs before we officially step foot into the store. Not to mention, she's usually doing this while standing in Daly City's freezing cold as she stands outside to greet us! Consistently provides 10/10 customer service. Thanks, Ari! I'd also like to add the fact that I love that there is always someone readily available to help me once I'm in the store. I'm not sure if this is the case due to the decreased maximum capacity during COVID or not since I didn't start shopping at this location until COVID, but it's highly appreciated! read more

Service is hit or miss depending on who you get helped out by. A few times I've come in here and some of the employees aren't super welcoming or informative. read more

I had terrible experience at this location, employee Ceecee gave me the worst customer service. I came hoping to spend money and I believe I was racially profiled. This was my first time in this store and never going back. Please go elsewhere, they treat you like a thief. read more

I love this Sephora and it's mainly for their customer service. Talia helped me out when I was shopping here for the first time and she couldn't have been more amazing. She was knowledgable, friendly, relatable, and took the time to actually get the right products that worked for me. This Sephora is located within Serramonte Shopping Center in the back of Target. Not the best in terms of parking. It's always congested and extremely packed. For anyone who lives within the Bay Area, parking is always a struggle anywhere, anytime. Their selection is up to par to what Sephora in Stonestown has to offer. Clean, and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, which is no different from any other Sephora store I've been too. read more

This one-star review goes out to the Shiseido rep who approached me yesterday at the Daly City store. I came in looking to purchase a Sephora-brand moisturizer, but they were out. When the girl approached me, I inquired about that specific moisturizer and wanted to know if they had more available somewhere in the store/in the back, etc... She said no, but she had a recommendation and wanted to share all about this one particular Shiseido product-(which btw was $53 more than the one I came in for...) She told me that she recommended it to her mom, so it should be good for me. I was like.....Wait? What?? ummmm, excuse me? What did you just say?? Honestly, I was shocked at the comment. I found it extremely rude. I mean, what's next....will I get the "When are you due comment, too"? Ok I get it, we all grow older, but I do NOT need to have that thrown in my face. There were no questions asked about what kind of skin tone I have or what I wanted in a moisturizer. She was just hell-bent on selling her product. She was obviously flustered by my response and tried to back pedal...She was like, Oh I mean, I recommend this for my family. I was like WTF....seriously? The other two in-person encounters I had, were with the sales staff and I would give that two stars....Those exchanges felt very dismissive and they really couldn't give a rat's A$$ whether or not a customers' needs were met or not. The only bright moment was when I called the store and spoke to the manager, Christina. I told her my story and she sounded very empathetic on the phone. For the Shiseido Rep, you can kiss my aging a$$. Go get trained properly on how to provide good customer service, because they can't train you on how to improve your personality or how to interact and navigate through personal interactions; you'll just have to figure out that one on your own. Oh...I almost forgot the other insulting piece...Once this whole thing went down, the rep came back to me in the store and was like, " Oh, here are some samples for you to try". Three of the samples were XX small sealed package-type samples and one sample was in a tube. When I open the tube of exfoliant, I noticed it was close to being halfway empty. Seriously, she wanted to make amends by giving me the samples (one of which had already been used). Sad and Pathetic! read more

We were in your Serramonte Center store to purchase a gift. We were initially assisted by a very pleasant beauty assistant who checked stock for the product we wanted and then directed us to Alyssa Santana at the sales desk. Alyssa was very knowledgeable and professional. She seemed to really enjoy helping guests with their requests as I watched her while we were in line. She listened to our request and made some suggestions that enabled us to purchase the gift. She was GREAT! I loved her very up beat personality. Thank you Alyssa Santana!! read more

If you live around the area and shop at this location. Save your coins and go to another Sephora! The people here will follow you around and "pretend" to be working and while blatantly watching your every move. My friend was also followed while he was shopping in fragrance. Is this how you treat your paying customers that support YOUR paychecks. So if you want to feel like being watched while shopping. Come here for an uncomfortable experience. Also they don't carry Charlotte Tilbury here. Good for nothing! Go into the city. I know its inconvenient, too crowded and smells like dookie and urine. But at least you'll get better service. read more

This Sephora location is truly terrible. No one knows what's going on nor do they even pretend to care. A million people working but other than greeting you 7 times they don't provide any real customer service. I had a pickup order that was unfulfilled hours later. Literally had to pick it up myself and no one apology or bit of acknowledgment. Ive been here several times and have never had a stellar visit. This is why Ulta is pushing to the top. It's worth driving to Hillsdale if I really need a Sephora product. read more

Main issue is that every time I come in here I get approached by more than five people and constantly asked if I need help and I have to repeat myself over and over again and it makes me feel uncomfortable and annoyed. Most of us want to be left alone and not followed around like we are thieves. I've tried to give this place a chance but after this constantly happening to me where it just made me want to leave asap and go another location. As a rouje member I shouldn't feel this way while shopping so I'm sticking to San Francisco locations where I'm not treated like this and not coming back here anymore. read more

LOL worst Sephora ever. had to leave quick because my friend overheard the coworkers and security talk about how me and my friend were stealing... WHILE I was buying the items??? Maybe you should worry about serving beauty advice as beauty advisors instead of ACCUSING theft. Asked the girls there advice between items and they brought me over to a screen so I can scan items and read it myself... not very helpful. I could have just shopped online and saved myself from horrible services and dirty looks. read more

I had the most wonderful experience ever at this location. Alison helped me figure out everything I needed and was so patient with me! She really made the experience worth while and talked to me like we had known each other our whole lives which I believe is the best customer service experience I've received to date. The team here is always so kind and genuinely interested in helping you find the best products. I am so grateful for their resilience in these horrible circumstances as a retail worker. I really hope the management at this store recognizes what a phenomenal team they have! Also the girl at the door was the sweetest button and made me feel so comfortable even standing in 50 degree weather. Definitely worth the drive from the Marina stay strong you beautiful angels read more

I visit this store often and I'm embarrassed to admit how much I spend each month at Sephora online and in store. One request is if the store could keep the product displays for makeup and skincare continually stocked? A big reason for customers to come in store in the first place is to try things and many of the more popular brands i.e. Charlotte Tilbury, Makeup by Mario, Tatcha, Rare Beaty, Sephora brand, etc have shades missing or completely used up by customers. I'm a loyal customer and just want to continue trying as many products as possible. read more

So epic! I was looking for Men's Cologne, this place resembles an alternative business model with a much larger line of Men's Cologne offerings. Once the two of us acknowledged my error she was happy to report a small are where they stocked Men's Fragrance. Still no Karl! I was overwhelmed by the upbeat vibe the excellence of Customer Service by all representatives at this location. This company is well blessed by the excellence these young ladies bring to their jobs It is really a niche business that requires this in order to thrive in today's economy. Needless to say they need only maintain status quo and be certain any new team members reflect their core integrity and quality. read more

This location has excellent customer service and they are very attentive to the customer's needs. I was able to get my concealer matched perfectly, and the sales associate recommended a face primer I absolutely love! read more

Terrible customer service. Snobby and rude staff. Not helpful. Did not greet me. They need entirely new staff.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to Antonio at this location for his very welcoming demeanor + awesome customer service. I visited this location on the last day of the Sephora sale and he was so helpful and pleasant to talk to and gave some fantastic recommendations. It's hard to swatch and shade match these days but I felt like I could trust his knowledge and also loved that he consulted with another teammate. Visiting this store made me miss shopping in person. read more

Today, I decided to order online and do an in store pickup for the friends and family sale. I ordered around 10am expecting it to be ready 2 hours later, since that's what it said on the app. However, after that duration, it is still not ready. I come in myself around 3pm and ask about the items of my order. They apologize and say they are short staffed. Short staffed??? What upsets me is that I am walking around Sephora, I see many employees just standing around doing nothing and they tell me they are short staffed. An employee talks to me and asks about my order, while shuffling through many receipts, of what I assume to be other pick ups. I felt bad for her, since it seems as if she's the only one doing these order pickups, while there are many other employees just standing around. I ordered two items, but was only able to walk out of the store with one, since the other item was probably snagged by other customers because they weren't doing their pickup in store orders in a timely fashion. However, another employee was able to order me the item. It was just unfortunate how I could've left the store with my items if they fulfilled these pickups as they were placed. Why have in store pickup orders as an option, if the items aren't going to be available when we order them in the first place? read more

I went today to do an exchange for foundation and they said no because it past the 30 days but it wasn't my fault that they gave me the wrong foundation color. We're in a pandemic and they think that the answer to find our matching color foundation is to put it up in a clear board and guess. read more

Hi. Minus the front door female staff customer greeter who very clearly displayed an unfriendly attitude and did not articulate well, my first time in store experience was awkward and somewhat stressful. Please kindly retrain your employees to be more mindful, humanly and excited as the product line is not always feasible. I may consider returning if that staff is no longer present. read more

Just got back from buying Christmas gifts at this location. It's a great place to get skincare and make up gift sets for the holidays and they have plenty of options ranging from $10-$200. Pros: - Clean, organized and helpful employees. I came here in the morning and I'm sure inventory get s little messier late in the day but that wasn't the case for my visit. - An employee asked if I needed help and I said I was looking for Christmas gifts. She kindly showed me where all the options were on the floor and told me the price breakdown for each section. Super helpful! - I like looking through their mini section near the register. - I'm glad this location is open because the JCPenny at Serramonte is permanently closed and that was the closest Sephora in the area. Cons: - Depending on what your looking for things can get very pricey. - Smaller stop compared to other Sephora locations like Burlingame read more

Every single person I came across at this location was so helpful and friendly. It's so a re are nos days to come across such great customer service from the moment I walked through the door to the moment I checked out I was so impressed with the knowledge of the staff and the service they offered. Not only to me but to everyone who made their way into the store. I had trouble finding a product and Villie helped me find the exact primer I wanted. We had a great conversation about vegan food it was such a great experience that made coming into the store really personable. I will totally be coming back read more

I returned an item I bought a few weeks ago (before friends and fam sale). During process, cashier had a stone face. Once return was complete, she turned to her co-workers and said "It's happening. It's already happening." right in front of me. I immediately was offended. What was she trying to insinuate? That I buy sh*t just to turn around and return it?!?!?! I'm 48 years old and if she took one look at my purchase history, she wouldve realized right awat that I buy A TON Of sh*t from Sephora. That chic left a bad taste in my mouth. Sephora should consider having their employees with a bad attitude to stock items in the back only so that they are not represented to the public in a negative way. read more

I love all things Sephora. Life would be perfect if I had a unlimited gift card.. Come on Sephora, I'll give you 5 stars in exchange for one? This location is kinda small but I love that it isn't inside a mall. It's in a small strip mall outside of the Serramonte Mall. Drive there, park, and then walk right inside. So convenient! My current faves are Becca and Nars and both brands are fully stocked here. They are super friendly here and will give generous samples. Totally worth the drive!!! read more

Racial profiling at Sephora is unfortunately a very common thing. However, I have been followed almost every time I visit this specific Sephora. It started when a security guard saw me open a perfume I was already set on buying. I told him that there was no tester and I was already set on buying it. After this instance he asked for the perfume back and the rest of the time I was followed around by Sephora employees. It's tiring and quite frustrating considering how many white women I see steal from Sephora yet I am the paying costumer who is followed. I would like to be clear I can't prove the intentions of the employees however I was very uncomfortable considering that this is a pattern. read more

I went here before and bought stuff at the door without going to the line of ppl wanting to go inside coz i knew what i want. And today i tried to do the same thing to get a couple of things that i wanted, and they wont let me. This so counter productive, im trying to do whats best and not go inside the store but here they are tryna make things difficult. read more

Let me start this off by saying how welcome I felt walking in here. As soon as I walked in, a store associate asked what I needed and immediately directed me to where I needed to go. Allison, another store associate heard what I needed, walked me over to the section I was interested in. After delving into what I was looking for, she was able to make a few recommendations and guide me through product usage. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and I felt so supported in finding a new product. Amazing customer service, really knowledgeable team, and a great product selection. Can't wait to come back here! read more

If it wasn't for Sabrina and the one cashier worker (I didn't catch her name but she had lip piercings) this review would be 1 star. Trying to pickup an order for my wife with 1% battery left on my phone and waiting in a line of 5+ people I was a little worried. Come to find out the order wasn't ready which is understandable. So I asked if I can cancel my wife's order and just buy the items over the counter. While the cashier helping me was willing to help me get the TWO items my wife wanted, the "manager" with freckles (again didn't catch a name) was extremely rude to me and her own employee. She said I have to get them myself and wait in line again. So I went to get the items with the help of Sabrina. She saw I was a little annoyed and did everything in her power to turn my experience. When I got to the counter the "manager" left the cashier alone with a busy line. I understand high stress jobs as I work one myself. But that manager needs to remember that this ain't the way to handle it. Kudos to the team that held it down when the "manager" couldn't! read more
