This review is for Gabriel only: This man is probably one of the most fabulous human beings that works for this company. If you're a reading this, and you work for Sephora management- you should quit immediately and allow Gabriel to take over your position. Yes, he's that good. He's kind, knowledgable, helpful and will literally do whatever he's able to to make sure the customer finds what they need. read more

The service is so-so. I think it depends on the day and time you come in. Some of the girls (and guys) are happy to help you find what you're looking but there's always a few who don't want to be bothered. They seem to always be out of stock on whatever product I want. Coming here is like rolling the dice, there's a 50% chance of having a good shopping experience and a 50% chance you won't. read more

There customer service is terrible, horrible unwelcoming attitudes. They are always so rude.

I am a vib rouge member and realized I never use freebies that come with this so I decided to make an apt for the mini makeover. I thought it would be fun to have my makeup done , however The woman who answered the phone said I didn't need apt , then I was placed on hold and the next woman told me she will check the book and put me back on hold. 14 minutes on hold, I hung up.. Come on lady's get it together. read more

This review is for Valerie only. I had to go to a formal dance and she did the 45 minutes custom makeup. She really did amazing and I got so many compliments on it. If you're reading this. Thank you! read more

SEPHORA - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Montclair, California

See all

i will drive out of my way to come to this location instead of the sephora in victorias garden, which is way closer to me. the workers here are always soo helpful. ive had workers go into the back looking for nail files for me, because they didnt have any on the sales floor. everytime ive been here, i end up spending way more then what i had orginially intended, but what these employees recommend are definitely worth trying. i had never heard of tokidoki or tarina tarantino before an employee introduced me to these brands. and now i am soo obsessed with toki doki and tarina. i love them. i usually would just stick to smashbox and too faced, but the employees here have expanded my horizon.. i love this store.. read more

I was treated like shit! Look at my reviews I typically write them to praise .. But WOW!!!!! Apparently she had somewhere to be that she couldn't take 5 mins to help me when she was just STANDING THERE DOING NOTHING . Worst holiday experience yet. read more

I'm a big Sephora shopper, which is why I had to write a review for this store. I was in there Saturday evening and unfortunately this is the worst one I've been to. I didn't get greeted as I walked into the store, and when I needed help I had to search for somebody to help me. The girls that helped me were both so fake, and didn't know what they were talking about. I didn't get their names but one was a chubby little thing with her hair in a bun and the other was a little taller with waved hair and a pointy nose. And after all that they didn't have what I was looking for -_- Anyways, this store and its employees suck. read more

I just walked in and asked if they have Anastasia clear brow gel. The employee pointed to a section and said it's somewhere over there. She couldn't even walk over to show me. So I walked over and searched and searched that area but nothing. There were so many employees and not one came over to ask if I needed help. I walked to the register and asked for help and this woman pointed and said its over there. I told her I looked but can't seem to find it. I know they sometimes have extras locked below so thats why I inquired at the register. Unbelievable that she said I can't help you because I am at the register but go look for so and so and she will help you. Useless people with no sense of how to practice good customer service. This individual at the register should have called someone for me at the least since she was not ringing anyone. I just walked out and went to JC Penney Sephora and asked the girl where I could find the same product. This stellar employee said it's on the far left corner next to the wall. She also said let me ring this customer and I will come show you if you can't find it. Now this is excellent customer service. ****Ladies always remember to give good service. The clientele secures your jobs so be kind. read more

I really like this place. I go here when I'm NOT going to buy MAC, and Im not talking about the computers. They have all the great brands you would be looking for. They have MAKE UP FOREVER, NARS, URBAN DECAY, KAT VON D's LINE, TWO FACED, ETC. They also carry perfumes and cologne from major brands like ED HARDY, GUESS, GIORGIO ARMANI, DKNY, KIM KARDASHIAN, ETC. If you need brushes for your make up, they got it. They even got a place for you to try airbrushed make up, which they also sell. It is a great place and the staff is very helpful and knowledgable of their products. Great place to go. read more

Visited this location recently to purchase a few gifts. To start i must mention that I am not a makeup fanatic and keep mine to a minimum. I had a couple of brands in mind when I entered the store. Immediately upon entering I was greeted and offered assistance to which I gratefully accepted! I notified the consultant (Summer) of what I was looking for and she immediately took me isle to isle on the hunt for my items. Here's where the customer service was really delivered. Because I was unsure about what products to choose from, Summer was patient with me as we went back and forth through the store multiple times. She offered recommendations, helped me look up the receivers account to get an idea of what they liked, and even went as far as to do some swatches based off of photographs of the person receiving the gifts. I ended up buying several items that included those I was in search for as well as the recommended items. Summer (the consultant) was incredible and made the overall experience wonderful. Everything she suggested ended up being a hit including the lip stain she had chosen based off of the photographs. I've always hated shopping for beauty products but Summer made it fun, fascinating, and easy. I highly recommend this location as well as asking for Summer if you're like me and get overwhelmed the second you step foot in a Sephora! read more

Best experience ever!!! This was my first time here, but I did enjoy my visit very well. I bought everything I was looking and more. Officially my fav place. Yes it did get busy. But I was helped and walked through how to apply new products I didn't know how to. read more

I LOVE this store!!! And not just "sephora" (because I LOVE them too) but I mean THIS store! The staff is amazing! They are so friendly, and helpful. The store is always clean and maintained well. They have a great selection of everything! The staff is really knowledgeable and always help or ask if you need help. If you sign up for the Beauty insider card you'll earn points when you shop and can earn really great gifts/samples. Whenever I need something from Sephora I make a special trip to Montclair plaza just to come here! They have my business for life! read more

The customer service sucks don't go here if you have questions or need help they're ALL useless go somewhere else

I went there to buy a certain product but ended up buying more products, because of the explanation and helpful nature of the sales person called Jazzmine. She was talking to another lady prior with the same passion. It was a very pleasant experience and will go again, if I see her. read more

This is a busy sephora the girls are great the staff is very helpful and yes people complain of the staff as I see in reviews but its because its always busy so dont expect to have a girl trying to help you when theres a girl to like 10 people at a time be patient and if you dont want to wait read the product description ;) overall this is a clean well kept store. So if you want excelent service go either early in a.m on weekends or during the week before evening time. read more

Once my friend and I come in, a girl really rude from the start, but she is so warm and smiling to others, YES, we are Asian, it makes us so disappointed. read more

I'm usually disappointed with every store in the Montclair Plaza because of how small and unorganized they are but I actually like this Sephora. The employees are really friendly and helpful compared to most Sephoras I have been to. They actually try to help you out here and don't mind giving out as much free samples as you need/want. This Sephora is pretty organized as well and it's easy to find what you need. The only thing I don't like is that they always run out of my shade since its popular so sometimes I have to come back and check again if they have it in stock but at least they offer me samples for the mean time. I am a VIB too and they take care of you :) read more

I would like to thank Andy for her help when I was at this store 3 weeks ago. She's very helpful and will give you her honest opinion. It was a scent that I was deciding and and Andy has a good taste. thanks Andy! read more

I love Sephora and all of its incarnations whether it be online, in a mall, or in JC Penney. This specific location just lacks sparkle. Its clean and acceptable, but the VG location is just more fun somehow. read more

This was the worst customer service I've ever had at a Sephora store I received a gift card for Christmas with a $75 value when I went to pay for my purchase the sales clerk told me she could not read the numbers because they were worn out she also told me she could not scan it she told me to call the Sephora customer service after being on the phone for over 20 minutes customer service told me try another store so I went to the JCPenney Sephora location and Judith the sales clerk had no problem scanning my gift card and she was very helpful and very nice read more

This is really based on service I got from Shaanty. She was helpful and came up to me with a big smile. Love that and the other for two helped me too but I forgot their names. Overall good experience. .. I wish they carry bobbi brown . read more

WORST customer service at this location. They are definitely understaffed and always out of stock on items! Also, staff here are not very knowledgeable with their products either. read more

Rude associates and Manager.... Takes forever to get to get someone to help you in the encounter. Associates always chatting rather then helping customers. PLEASE GO TO ANOTHER SEPHORA DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME THERE!!! Very disappointed the worst service... no body help me out, I waited literally over 30 minutes no body bothered to help me....The Manager all she said sorry about that, let me help you.. I left the store super Mad ... read more

I love this location. The have a wide array of products and choices.. the staff is pretty helpful but there are a couple of snooty chicks working here too so I knocked off 1 star for that .... I can pretty much find anything I need in here though read more

I like this Sephora because they're super friendly and helpful. They take the time to help to see what you need.I like how this sephora has the beauty insider program where you can earn points to earn some samples or other products. They also give you a birthday perk. read more

Loved this Sephora, the girls are actually really nice, unlike other Sephoras I've been to. It's nice and big too!

Their Sephora is so big. I'm used to going to Sephora in JC Penny. I bought the summer set for $32, not including tax (Over $100 retail value) and for each one purchased $20 of the price paid goes to charity. I also got free samples! read more

Probably the best sephora I have been to, and I've been to many... But that's beside the point here. It was pretty empty when I came in, moderate size so not huge but not small either. They have a lot of people working so I felt very well catered to and I believe that I had Joseph helping me today. It was an awesome experience. He was super nice, attentive to what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect products! No pushiness or conceit. I will definitely be back because they are well stocked and have the best service I've ever experienced. read more

Love this store! they always have what I need in stock and the staff is so friendly and helpful. I rather drive a bit further to come to this location than go to any other Sephora. read more

I love this location. Always clean. I shop here about every two weeks, today however, I had the pleasure of meeting James, who was assisting me with some foundation/powder. Let me just say, he is hands down my favorite sales associate I have ever encountered. He is charismatic and personable. I hope that He stays at this location. He is going to be my go to sales guru from now on. Absolutely AMAZING! read more

Wonderful branch of a great chain store. They have a very stable and consistent staff of employees who actually remember you from visit to visit! Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable about the wide variety of products that they stock. The store is kept well stocked and clean. I love shopping here! read more

Had a great time here. Got my bday gift Thank you. Great reference for Caudalie products by Svetlana, although she works for them. Love Sephora. read more

Super friendly and helpful employee. Drove all the way from West Covina because the one at Westfield JC penny's is horrible.

Yuck!!! All the girls seemed bothered to have to help. I felt guilty for asking questions, they seemed pissed to be there. Awful!!! Spent $255 only because I didn't want to drive! read more

Customer service is horrible here. I needed to get my foundation matched so they told me to wait at the counter for the next available employee. I spent 30 minutes at the counter with several employees walking by me to help any and every customer other than me. The store was nearly empty at some point and it was humiliating and really discouraged me from over going back to this location. I ended up buying a foundation I thought matched my face the closest and got out of there. I'm not the best at makeup and I'm sure they noticed but I'm trying to learn and I feel like they discriminate and ignore people that don't look a certain way. read more

They have very well trained workers who are knowledgeable in makeup and can help you at a moments notice. I came into to buy a concealer and powder for my acne prone/ sensitive skin, and the workers did so well to accommodate me and color match my skin. She also helped my mom find the perfect concealer for her needs. We were very happy with the service and will come back here in the near future. read more

Definitely not my favorite Sephora. Always low on items, packed and a bit messy. Customer service isn't that great either, at times a bit rude. When I ask for samples they always tell me I can return the item and when I do returns they make a face about it. On the bright side, the store is kind of big. read more

The employee named "katlyn" was all up on me and kept following me around the store & asking unnecessary questions about what I'm buying when I said multiple times what I am buying ! She just kept asking and following which was REALLY annoying and she just kept getting really close to me . So I just put back the products I was going to get. i DO NOT RECOMMEND this Sephora location! read more

This review is based on customer service to which I wish I could give 10 stars!! I dont shop here often but I really had wanted to try fenty beauty. Unfortunately I had a horrible allergic reaction to it that put me in the emergency room! I had thrown the box and receipts away so I pretty much assumed I was out 70 bucks. I went to try and exchange them hoping they would understand and they were so awesome!! I wasnt questioned or harassed at all about not having the box or receipt and the ladies helped me find an amazing foundation and powder to replace it! Thank you so much sephora Montclair! read more
