    Al I.

    Dear Sephora Management, I am writing to formally express my deep concern regarding an upsetting experience I had today while shopping on behalf of a customer through Instacart. I was harassed and disrespected by a manager named Robin in a manner that I believe was not only unprofessional but also completely unacceptable. As someone who frequently shops in Sephora stores, both for myself and as a representative of customers through Instacart, I have always appreciated the helpfulness and professionalism of your staff. However, today's experience left me feeling targeted, disrespected, and extremely uncomfortable. Two times I approached associates to politely ask for help locating items. Despite the fact that they were not assisting other customers at the time, Robin intervened and prevented them from helping me...It felt as though she was deliberately watching me and actively working to block my access to assistance. The final incident involved a front-area manager who was kind enough to help me find a few items still within her department. Robin immediately approached her as well, seemingly reprimanding her for offering support. I want to emphasize that at the time, the store was closing in 10 minutes, and I still had over 10 items to locate. I was working diligently and efficiently, and my order totaled over $450. I never ask for help unless absolutely necessary, and given how frequently product packaging changes and new items are introduced, occasional guidance is sometimes required. Sephora, as a retail environment, is not always easy to navigate quickly, especially under time pressure. Robin's comment implying that it was simply "my job to find the items" was not only dismissive, but entirely uncalled for. As a professional completing a purchase for a customer, I believe I represent not only myself but also the customer's trust in the Sephora brand. I was shocked to be treated with such hostility and disregard. This encounter has affected me deeply. I do not believe anyone--whether a customer or a third-party shopper deserves to be treated with such disrespect. I strongly urge Sephora to address this behavior. Managers should set the standard for professionalism, not act in ways that alienate and belittle people doing their best to support your brand. Thank you for taking the time to hear this feedback. I hope this matter is taken seriously and that no one else will have to go through what I experienced today. Because if Sephora wants Instacart shoppers to keep coming and driving sales, treating us with respect is essential. We help move your products and bring in revenue and making our jobs harder only hurts your business in the long run.

    Got my makeup done by Janine and she did such a fantastic job! I'm going to a wedding later on and have little makeup experience. When explaining what I want she was very patient and understood the vision! While doing the makeup not only was she informative about the products but also gave helpful information as to her process. She was extremely communicative and amenable every step.

    LeAnna helped me pick more products for curly hair. Diamond also assisted. Both salesgirls are so helpful!! I had to exchange the make up that I got yesterday for a darker color and they were both awesome!!

    I have been going to Nordstrom at UTC since the early 1980s as a teen, about 45 years. I really…read morelove when there are friendly and helpful employees, it makes the shopping experience more enjoyable. As a San Diego native I truly appreciate quality customer service in a busy busy world. I was looking for a new purse ( the two saleswomen were chatting away and glanced at me , and not even a smile back or " Can I help you with something?" ) and because it felt so non welcoming, I decided to shop for my husband in a friendlier department. I was looking for Dolce & Gabbana cologne for my husband ( I recommend the scent called , The One) and was greeted by such a lovely and professional young man. His name is Daniel G and he was so attentive and warm. He radiated simple elegance and kindness. No arrogance, just sincerity. He is most definitely one of a kind and sincere salesperson. It was a refreshing experience! Now my husband is twice as happy since I saved him money ( on not buying the purse) and he received a bottle of his favorite cologne. I hope Daniel's manager reads this, because his sales style felt exactly like what Nordstroms used to feel like years ago. Always grateful for the kindness while making a purchase, big or small.

    I prefer the intimacy of the old smaller Nordstrom to this larger and noisy version. They also have…read morefar fewer Caslon && things out on the floor than they used to, and I do better when I shop in their website to find something cute and reasonable than I usually do in person. But today I came mostly for bras. Alex was a fabulous salesperson and helped me figure out the best fit. She also found sizes that were not on the floor. Unfortunately the ones I found were not on sale - but I appreciate that they have a range of sizes and styles so everyone can be comfy. For bras, they have a great selection and knowledgeable help!
