I want to say how amazing Khowla is ! She helped me find the perfect shade I was describing and my perfect brow shade. She was patient and really took the time helping me. I am very pleased with the products she chose for me .I hope they are able to keep her long term and give her a raise soon ! read more

I often come here to look around after work. It's usually more of an impulse thing lol, especially with Sephora so close! I get what I need, my endorphins kick in, and boom... impulse purchase. One thing I have noticed, though, is that if you don't look "nice," you sometimes feel like you're being followed or watched a little more closely. And my friend, after work I usually look like I just rolled out of bed I'm tired and exhausted! This has happened to me a handful of times where I've genuinely felt like I was being watched more closely. I get it, girl, you're doing your job, and I understand loss prevention is a thing. But even when I grab just one or two small items, sometimes I still get the look. Idk lol. Don't get me wrong, many of the employees are helpful and genuinely offer assistance. This is definitely not directed at the entire staff or the store as a whole. However, there have been a handful of interactions that have left me feeling uncomfortable. Of course, a business can say that's not what's happening, but as a customer, I'm simply sharing how the experience has felt from my end. I also want to add that I looked through some of the other reviews after I had already written my original review, and I actually came back to edit and include this part because I found it pretty telling. Let's just say I'm clearly not the only customer who has raised concerns about the overall customer experience. I'm writing this more as constructive feedback that I hope management can see and use to improve the store. If one or two people mention the same issue, maybe it can be brushed off as an isolated experience. But when a handful of customers are saying similar things, I think it's worth looking into and asking if something could be done differently. Nothing against the store, I continue to shop here, but customer perception and how people feel while shopping matter too. On another note, they don't have a huge perfume selection, which is disappointing because perfume is one of my favorite things! It's a smaller store overall, so I'm giving it 3 star. On the positive side, it's clean and conveniently located near a Whole Foods! :) read more

Came in to this location to pick up a bday goodie. So happy to find a local one near me. Place was clean and I was treated by staff. This location is not as busy and you can find just about anything. I heard you can book a make up consultation, will try to do that next time. read more

SEPHORA - Shopping bag and location. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Extremely disappointed with this Sephora location! I placed a same day delivery order on Sephora.com for nearly $400. The delivery was fulfilled through Uber Eats by this store. The driver never showed up, and Uber's GPS tracker shows my order was marked "delivered" to a completely different city. Uber Eats has confirmed this was their fault and stated the order is eligible for a refund, but only once Sephora contacts them. I even provided the store with a direct Uber support number. Despite multiple calls and speaking with an assistant manager named Shay, no one at this location is willing to make that call or help resolve the issue. I should not be penalized for a delivery failure completely outside my control. I even filed a police report due to the value of the order. At this point, I have no products and no refund, simply because Sephora refuses to take responsibility for their delivery partner. This experience makes me seriously question how Sephora treats its customers when something goes wrong. read more

I have dealt with Bobbi twice and both times she was condescending and rude. This time I went in to pick up my birthday gift and purchase another product and she acted as if we were a major inconvenience. Will not be returning to this location because of her alone. read more

Thanks so much Eve and Jared for helping me shopping and finding all the items I needed it . Great customer service ! I really appreciate your help ! :) read more

I bought 2 SEPHORA eye liners here a couple years ago. I thought they were nice and I liked their texture, but the inside separated from the outside on both of them. Although I usually keep receipts, I didn't keep the receipt for these because I knew Sephora had an account with my phone number. Today I went to return these and they would not take them back because they couldn't find them in their system and I didn't have a proof of purchase. I understand that this is their policy, but this is also THEIR product with THEIR name on them so clearly I didn't buy them elsewhere. They lost a customer in me and my daughter today as I will NEVER return. There's a reason I buy most cosmetics from Nordstrom and it's called customer service. read more

Well stocked (even as a smaller store), clean, stand alone Sephora! Was in and out pretty quick grabbing what I needed. I didn't interact much with the team members except at check out but overall the vibes were good. Easy parking out in front! I guess I don't really need to mention parking but living in LA, when I get to shop in OC it's usually so easy finding parking so it's memorable to me ;) Don't forget to check the app for perks! read more

The older lady at the front that didn't want to work , and would rather spend time gossiping than helping customers is rude . Don't go to this location. When asked for a specific brand drop , her response was we don't have it and don't know when we will get it . It comes when it comes .. no offer to get it online which is available . Just rude sassy behavior . Do better ! read more

Leann was so kind and helpful. Went above and beyond to find my previous color matches and make sure I received the right products. Another gentleman there was so nice as well. Newly remodeled a lot more products, clean and organized and friendly helpful staff (the most important) will make it a point to frequent this location. Thanks guys! read more

I came in on a busy saturday afternoon to redeem my birthday gift and the employees here are SO friendly! One of the best Sephoras I have visited in terms of friendly service, efficient service, and cleanliness. read more

The older woman Bobbi is extremely rude. I don't like coming to this location because of her attitude.

What happened during my sister-in-law's visit to this store was UNACCEPTABLE and deeply upsetting. She was blatantly treated with suspicion, closely monitored, and made to feel as though she was stealing -- based solely on her race and how she was dressed. There was no legitimate reason for this behavior. It was profiling, plain and simple. Oh and she's a first responder , so she doesn't always have the luxury of getting dolled up to go to the store. Because of how uncomfortable and humiliated she felt, she ultimately put over $500 worth of merchandise back and left without making a purchase. That is real financial loss to the business -- and emotional harm to a customer who did nothing wrong. No one deserves to be treated this way. No apology was offered, no explanation was given, and no attempt was made to correct the situation in the moment. I hope ownership or management takes this seriously, reaches out, and makes this right. At minimum, this situation warrants acknowledgment, accountability, and appropriate compensation for the experience she endured. Silence or inaction would only confirm that this type of treatment is tolerated here read more

Unfortunately, I've experienced similar negative customer service attitudes and interactions at this location as well. This store is my closest most convenient Sephora, but I choose to drive further to other locations to avoid it. read more

Every time I go to this location the workers are rude, inconsiderate, and lazy. I'm not one to write yelp reviews, especially bad ones, but I have consistently been disappointed by this store front and their workers. As someone that works in the service industry, my advice is to change out the staff or have a full retraining. read more

I have consistently received amazing service from the associates at this store. The associate Gill that helped me was polite, educated in a huge array of products and she was personable! What a wonderful experience! I purchased more BECAUSE you had trained staff available to help! Bravo! Thank you! read more

if I could give negative I would! Aliso Village store has the worst customer service I've experienced. I've been to this location 5 times and 4 out 5 my experience was horrendous. This would be my last visit here (February 11, 2026 at 1pm). I was never greeted. The customer who came in after me was greeted. Walked around the store for at least 5-10 minutes and was not asked if I needed help. Which I actually needed help. There were 3 other customers at the store and they were all approached and asked for assistance. Me nope! No one even made eye contact; I know because I was looking around. Then, decided I'm not gonna even bother. If I did I might get an attitude. Cashier asked 2 customers if they were helped but me? Nope. Cashier never smiled, she was very bland. Employees, too busy stocking shelves or walking around to help others. I bought 2 things and now regretting my purchases; because I should have just purchased them online. Is there a dress code? Maybe a race code? Hrmmmm? Makes you wonder because same treatment was also applied to my daughters. read more

I like the comedians of this location when I need a staple and don't want to go to the mall. The staff is really helpful and friendly. read more

Very helpful and friendly staff. I was able to find what I was looking for. Quality makeup and skincare products and brands

This is the nicest place. I have had two amazing amazing people help me repeatedly always greet me. The one guy knows my face knows. Me helps me, and then I always thought he was a manager, but he's not. But he should be, and then the other gal is an assistant manager, and she's phenomenal. She knows all of the products. She knows what is good for me. What is bad for me when I can go, she knows all my colors and Shades. I can go on, and on both of these two. I've been Blessed and Have lucked out since I started going to the store. I've been going since they opened, and I finally said enough is enough. I need to go on record and let everybody know how wonderful these two are. They have a great Stuff. Do not get me wrong, but these two are phenomenal and I just wanna shout out to the top of my lungs. How wonderful these two are and I will be googling them also. So if you have any questions, dilemmas uncertainties seek out these two. They're there more often than not. Or I just shopped there a lot, but look for these till ask for their for them. In particular. They know their stuff. I am not knocking the other people that worked there. It's just these two. Have been working with me for quite some time. And when I say sometime, I'm talking more than a year or two years or three years. The whole Stuff. Welcome you. You fill the warmth in the love. You're not just a body walking through that door. Everybody greats you everybody smiling, and it's not like they attack you, but people are right there to jump out and help you anyway they can. And if they don't know something they reach out to another teammate to chime in and put their two sense in to help you. It's phenomenal. They have a great team. I'm sorry. I don't know everybody's name that has helped me, but I always seek out these two people, because I love them, and they know my skin, and they know my Color chart. You can't go wrong with anybody. Because like I said, if they don't know the answer, they will seek out another teammate to get you the answer You walk in with the big Smile. You leave with a big smile, and you can fill the love when they greet you and when you're exiting. They also acknowledge you. It's a great location. It's a great STORE positive vibes, positive atmosphere, positive attitude from the stab. That's hard to find nowadays. Thank you so much my Sephora team. I love you and appreciate each one of you. I'm not trying to administer anything with the other Stuff, but these two people are my favorites. Thank you so much. See them all out there. It's a great team. We can't go wrong. OK, here's my two favorites. Jared and he really really should be a manager. I don't know why he's not. But he really should be because ever since I met him a couple years ago. I thought he was the manager. He's so knowledgeable and he's fun to work with. And then my second favorite. It's really a tie. I love both of them. His name is Jared and I always thought he was the manager of the STORE, but he's not and why he's not a management. I don't know, but he's great. Then my second favorite is JAREL. She is a manager and she rocks it and she knows her stuff people go to her. That's how awesome. She is meaning the Stuff. And she doesn't even have to look. She can just rattle Off stuff off the top of her head. She's awesome. But again I do not want to diminish the other staff members, but those two are my favorites because they helped me all the time. Butit I gotta say Jarrel ---she is a manager and she rocks it. She helps me all the time. I love both of them, but they're all good. But those are my two favorites. Go check it out. It's an awesome Place. You won't be. Sorry. read more

I had a hand full of products to purchase as I was looking. An employee came near my boyfriend and I to show another customer something. I believe my bf was in the way, so instead of asking him politely to move. She looks at him and uses her finger to point to get out of the way. The way I put my things down and left. To MV mall or Ulta I go! The place isn't very busy, maybe use some downtime to work on customer service scenarios. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Sephora thanks to Lindsay! When I was confused and unable to find a product that wasn't on the shelf, Lindsay kindly approached me and asked if I needed help. I certainly did! She quickly found the product for me--it was right by the door, and without her assistance, I never would have located it. Lindsay's helpfulness didn't stop there. She treated my dog, Booboo, with such kindness, making the entire experience even more pleasant. Her friendly and efficient service made a significant difference in my visit. Thank you, Lindsay, for going above and beyond to help both me and Booboo! I tried to post a great survey through the scan but no success. I hope it will have the same results read more

This place is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! I had a purchase that I wanted to return and they refused as it was past the "30" days. Yes it was past the return time. I was tending to my dad that had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was in hospital for over a month and he eventually passed. It still didn't matter to them. I'm beyond myself with their policy and not even taking into consideration why I couldn't return 2 items. I'll NEVER SHOP SEPHORA EVER AGAIN. They used to be great with their returns. AWFUL AWFUL read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Once I walked in I was already brought up by a lady named Bobbi. I then went to get what I need and asked her for the product I need and she went to check and it wasn't there until she checked again. She was doing this for commotion to get money out of me and my friend or something but I was able to get what I needed. Then I went to purchase it and left. Once I came to return it Bobbi was trying to talk about all this email or phone number thing to get money out of it. I then said I didn't want to and she got mad. Don't ever go to her. read more

This location is ok if you need to get in and out quickly to get something you already know you want and have used in the past, that is if the small store carries the inventory. But if you want to learn about new products and need educated and knowledgeable staff you are in the wrong location. Ironically the woman "helping me" claimed to have been a hair stylist and I was asking her about two different brands of hair products I had already researched and narrowed down, not once did she ask me any questions about my hair type, what my concerns were, and what I needed the product to do for me. she just took me to a product line I had never heard about and said a lot of clients buy this... well, what for? Do they have the same issues as me? Oh wait, you didn't even ask... you were too busy giving me shallow compliments about my dress and trying to make a quick sale. Flattery only gets you so far, we also need product knowledge. For knowledgeable staff, I make the drive to South Coast and come out with the products that are really suited for my hair and skin type. read more

I wanted to take the time to comment on the staff at this store. I have shopped here three times now and each time was a five star experience. One real shinning star is Eve who coincidently helped me on each visit. Sadly I'm allergic to all sun screens ( as a result of my covid booster shot I might add) which has led me to be in need of what they refer to as " clean cosmetics". Eve not only offered a great presence, and positive attitude, she was very knowledgeable about the products carried in the store. One smart young woman! I ended up buying almost everything she suggested and am very pleased. Eve seemed to be very happy to work in this store which must be a reflection of the manager. Thank you all for offering such a positive shopping experience. read more

Who remembers the scene from Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts goes into the dress shop to buy some clothes and is snubbed by the saleswomen because of the way she's dressed? That was my experience in this store. Without sounding like a conceited South OC cheer mom, I'll just say that I could walk into any Sephora and buy absolutely anything and everything I want. Money is no object. But that particular day, I was dressed in sweats and a t-shirt with my hair messy from the gym - and God forbid no makeup. I was there to exchange a lipstick that my daughter bought me for Mother's Day. It was too dark. A simple task. The girl greeting customers at the door was super friendly - for about two minutes until she looked me over and heard why I was there. I asked for a lighter shade and where I could find that particular lipstick. She pointed me i. The direction and I was on my own. I found the lipstick and the color I wanted, but there were none on the shelf. I traveled across the store, found her and asked about an alternative. She said there could be more of the color that I wanted in the back and she'd check. The problem is, she never did. After waiting several minutes, I looked over and saw her helping a new customer that was interested in buying a boatload of stuff. I stood nearby to see if she'd remember she was helping me. It didn't matter. I found another employee, explained again, and received the same disinterested attitude after a "look over" and hearing why I was there. Again, no help. At that point, I decided I was on my own. I walked through the store, which honestly I'm not familiar with - my daughter shops there. I buy my cosmetics at high-end department stores. I found a lipstick, not sure if it was one I'd like or not, took it to the register, and made my exchange. And when the cashier gave me her "Was anyone helping you today?" I said "Nope!" and decided to leave this review. Do these girls get paid commission? Is that why they pick and choose who to give less/more attention to? If so, that's wrong. This Sephora store will never see me again. Just as a follow up: We just returned from two weeks in Maui and I visited the Sephora store there at Whalers Village. What a drastic difference. The girls were SO friendly, without any expectations. A delight. And guess what? We ended up spending $475 on skin care and makeup. That's how a good store is run. read more

Bailey (hopefully I'm spelling her name right) was AMAZING! So helpful and knowledgeable on all the products we needed- from moisturizer for mature ladies to mascara sets ! Best customer service I've received at any makeup store. Highly recommend! read more

As the former Assistant Manager of a non profit organization located at St. Joseph Hospital of Orange, I feel the need to update my review. In my previous review, I state something to the effect that I typically don't return products, and instead give them to friends. Guess what? I fail to add important facts that day. My husband, friends, and family know I don't give away used products to anyone now because of the current health crisis. He can also tell you how well I clean products in the past before passing them off to friends, and family before the pandemic. FYI, at that time, I don't give them any containers in which I touch the actual product. For the Spring Sale event, my order is going through UPS. I'm hoping to get appointments for my vaccine shots soon. Even though I'm experiencing cabin fever; like many, I'm ordering online. "Patience, grasshopper." Right? read more

I am currently Christmas shopping at this Sephora and the lady who is at the register is beyond rude. Write her name down, Bobbi. A gentleman came in and asked her if they carried black lipstick. She rolled her eyes so hard, smacked her gum, and said i don't think so without even giving him a glance. It must have taken courage for him to even ask. Her response is beyond inappropriate. If I want ten people away from her I would have told her to knock it off . Poor customer service and unacceptable. read more

Went in over the weekend to get some makeup. Was greeted and asked if I needed any help. Bobbie helped me with the product I came to the store for. Afterwards she proceeded to march me over to a skincare product she wanted to show me. She introduced me as her client to another employee and then proceeded to tell me how much I needed this anti aging product because I was getting older.Excuse me but I have never met her before today so I certainly wasn't her client. And how rude and aggressive to point out my skin flaws unsolicited.She bragged how she was a licensed cosmetologist when I never asked. She lost all interest in me when I told her no thank you. It was obvious she was trying to upsell me. No thanks- going to Ulta next time or buying online just to avoid this kind of customer service experience. read more

Tonight was the Grand opening of Sephora Aliso Village. Located in the strip mall next to the Druggist , Orange Theory, Jersey Mikes, and a walk from Whole Foods this anticipated store opening finally graced us in Aliso Village. I came during the week for their soft opening and then again for their grand opening party tonight thrown by Modern Luxury Magazine of OC. We were greeted with drinks, small bites, music and a steady crowd of people when then event started at 5pm. The store is a stand alone, with free accessible parking which I love compared to the chaos of going through Mission Viejo or South Coast Plaza. This location is going to be my go to for in and out beauty needs. Pros: Amanda the manager was super helpful in answering my questions and addressing my legitimate concerns. Bobbi was extremely helpful and patient with my moms beauty questions and addressing her make up needs . I appreciate that. Thank you Bobbi for everything you did tonight, you are amazing. Tonight there was a Wide selection of items and so far inventory was on point for most stuff. The store is spacious and when you walk in there was plenty of staff to help. As expected , ling lines and a bit chaotic. I had to get out of there as after a bit. Biosaance had a rep there and was able to provide valuable product info that I was able to utilize for my purchase. Loved that!! Tips: every $50 purchase you get sephora black and white stripped tote. Every $100 purchase a sephora make up case was added as a gift. Cons: After contacting HQ, the app still does not have Sephora Aliso Village Listed, nor is it in the website via laptop! So you could not reserve a mini makeover or service as the advertisment had listed. Super frustrating, and Bobbi ended up doing a quick service on my moms brows standing up in the middle of the isle. It is what it is! Being a Rouge member , I would have expected a seperate chair for those since they failed on the website to reserve spots ahead of time. They have NO makeup artists yet to get make overs done or a space like mission viejo or South Coast Plaza where they hold classes. For now, if you want to get your makeup done you need to call ahead of time and reserve a spot for the weekend ( Sat/Sun), until according to Amanda they hire makeup artists sometime around OCT. I suggest going to South Coast, Mission Viejo, or Spectrum. Its still a work in progress. Want to throw a Sephora Beauty Party? Cant do it here either! Look at other locations. All in all, this is a great alternative location to quickly grab your make up and cosmetic needs. They still have alot of room for improvement! Welcome to Laguna Niguel, and looking forward to doing more business as a rouge member. read more

Great experience at Sephora in Aliso Viejo. From the moment I walked in I was asked by several representatives if I needed help. They were very helpful recommending the products I needed, and showing me different lines I was interested in. Finally got to the checkout line and Bailey, the representative who helped me, was very helpful and noticed that one of the products needed to be replaced due to a defective cover. Customer service is truly important and it looks like they have it all taken care of at this store!! read more

For the past year i've been coming to this sephora every weekend, I will never return to this location due to the employee who is a petite, older, blonde woman with short hair. She literally follows you around the store from the second you step in and starts harassing you asking if you need help or need any samples, say "no thank you" and instead of walking away she just stands at the end of whatever aisle you're in staring at you making sure you're not stealing anything. I come shopping here and see you every week maam i think you'd remember me by now LOL Yesterday I think she approached me 4-5 times within the less than 15 minutes I was in the store for. That is legitimately harassment at this point, this isn't agressive sales or customer service, it's just harassment. I walked out and went to ulta down the street to make my purchase. Please give her something to do so the customers aren't feeling targeting and terrorized while shopping read more

This sephora has stuff in stock way more than the one at the Mission Viejo mall. I like this location
