In my convoluted mind I always thought that stores in NY would be better stocked than their NJ counterparts. I was a little disappointed because this sephora branch was smaller than what I'm use to and they were not as well stocked. They actually didn't have one of the items I was looking for and I knew both items were available in NJ but I came to this branch cause I was tagging along with someone. BOY was my naive thinking completely dashed when I realized that NY stores aren't necessarily better than NJ stores. But anyway...3 lovely stars because there was this darling sales person that knew her stuff!! She made eye contact right away and asked me what I needed. I told her the beauty line and the item I needed and without even a pause, she pointed me to the correct direction and informed me what items of that beauty line they carried in that branch. She saved me so much time in navigating. Sales people here really know their stuff! read more

Idk what happened to this sephora but there used to be beauty advisers that i'd actually want beauty tips from that worked at this location... unfortunately the people that work there now look like they don't comb their hair in the morning before they start their day. Went inside to pick up an online order that was canceled and the big lady that looked dirty told me it was canceled because the item was out of stock. NO it was canceled because i didn't pick it up in time but I knew they still had it locked away, so how did wanna be lizzo tell me it was out of stock before she even moved herself out of the spot she was taking up chit chatting with her coworkers? One of the managers intervened and said it was bad communication on my part, sure. Let's just ignore the fact that they just pull out random excuses out of their asses. Before this lovely encounter I was waiting for a beauty advisor as she was helping a 10 year old girl in the pat mcgarth section... this store is a joke. read more

Thanks to beauty adviser Joey for professional work very healthful and pleased relationship to the customers nice we very pleased with his service Thanks read more

I went last week to pick up a few items. Most of the shelf's were not stocked , there was about 1 advisor on the floor so no one to help with color matching. Some of the drawers were open so I tried to find the products I was looking for myself. The cash register line was super long with 2 people as cashiers. I went to get my makeup done for a party. I scheduled an appointment at the first time of the day and they were late opening the store. They opened well after 11:05. The beauty advisors were busy taking a class. This meant they weren't ready for my appointment. We didn't start till after 11:15 am when my appointment was scheduled for an hour. I planned my morning to be done in an hour. The look I wanted could have been completely in 45 min max. The lack of professionalism and cutting down my appointment time already got me upset. I asked for a very common look but unfortunately my advisor was nervous and seemed unskilled. I was very nice and gave feedback. The managers were accusing me of being picky and were very confrontational. It was about 12:15 and I needed to leave to go to my event. I left with my makeup unfinished and the manager told me to just leave as if I was causing a scene. It's a shame that I had this experience as I previously had my makeup done with Hailey and it came out really good. I won't be going back even if it is for something simple like picking out some lipgloss. It's definitely a fault on my end to expect service while paying 60$. Most makeup artist are charging over 120+. read more

One of the worst run Sephora's around. Takes HOURS for them to put your online order together, then when you come for it, no one is even remotely near the counter where you're supposed to get it. Then you have to hunt for an employee, which defeats the ENTIRE Purpose of online ordering. read more

Went inside with my mom to look for some lipgloss. There were 3 works in front who were chatting and didn't even acknowledge us when we walked in. We found some lip glosses we liked but it looked like they weren't in stock. I tried approaching the 3 chatting workers and got side eyed and dirty looks so I walked away. I had to go to the cash register to ask if anyone could help us. Alyssa helped my mom find the products she needed and was really helpful, shes the only reason I'm not giving 1 star. The whole store is poorly stocked, half the 'try on' makeup is missing and basically every is out of stock. All the makeup on display is crooked and looks messy. On our way out the three workers were still chatting and looked annoyed while we walked by. Used to love coming here but with the poor stocking and rude workers (besides alyssa) Id rather go to Ulta. read more

Do your own makeup or find a MUA in your area via hashtag on Tiktok or IG. Them people only know what to sell NOT how to apply!!

This place is disgusting. There is trash on the floor, samples are dirty and out of place, drawers half open, and it is a mess. It looks 10x worse than the cosmetics section at your local TJ Maxx. On top of that, the management is horrible. Staff members just talking amongst themselves having unprofessional conversations loudly all over the store. The girl who rang me up yesterday had to stop every second to talk to her friend and she didn't cut it out until I glared at her. I don't know what the hell is going on with their management but I'm done with Sephora. read more

I was in the store on 5-26-23. I always love the products and the sales assistant that helped me was wonderful Her name is Arta N. She was very approachable and kind. She knew what I needed and explained the product fully. I did not care for the loud music. It is not a club and since you have shoppers of all ages, please consider the music volume and selection. Again thank you to Arta for your help. read more

OMG. When this store first opened up several years ago I got sooo excited. I am a makeup whore. I love the beauty insider samples and the in-store returns. Such a friendly environment. Last year when I wanted a new perfume scent one associate (a guy) helped me find the perfect one. He was very helpful and attentive. My last trip here I made an exchange and forgot to mention that I am a beauty insider. I happened to be back later that night with my friend and asked how I can get the points to my beauty bank. The sales associate told me and the next day I called the number he gave me and I got my points. Thanks again sephora for not disappointing me. read more

Cute hello kitty perfume...in love with the section of YSL!!! their face cream is soooo good for the face. People are very helpfully here!

I like this location during off peak hours. The cosmetologists are extremely knowledge about the products they sell, and do such beautiful work. I HATE this place when it is busy because it's impossible to find someone for help. When you finally do find someone they're never knowledgeable and it can be frustrating at times. Go at night or when they first open. read more

Even though I have a Sephora beauty insider card, I rarely purchase much anymore because of the economy. However, I could not resist stopping in to pick up my free birthday gift. While I was there, I chose my favorite Clinique lipstick and decided to purchase a new Clinique night moisturizer. I actually had time, so I wandered around...browsing. What I noticed was many of the places where the samples were supposed to be were empty -- I would say a good 25%-30%. Had I been serious about sampling some product, I would have had to ask for help. Also, they used to have product stocked right there -- quite a few bins were empty. I do not hold this against them as I understand their rationale during this economy...carry light inventory and it saves in the long run...especially on the trendy stuff you know you will get stuck with. On the other hand, I was asked quite a few times if I needed help and when I got to the counter, I was asked if I found all I was looking for. I also did not have my card on me and the salesperson did not complain when she had to look me up with my email address. My main issue was the samples were not all available..otherwise, I love this store! read more

I'm in Sephora at least once a month buying NARS bronzer (Laguna). Everytime you use your Beauty Insider Card you earn points and once you have a certain number of points you get free gifts at checkout! The cashiers always stick free samples in your bag and everyone in the store is very helpful. I really enjoy shopping here. read more

SEPHORA - Free gift from using my beauty insider card!! - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Extremly helpful staff that is lgbt friendly. They were able to help me with finding a good foundation

i will no longer be shopping here.Specifically because as I was rung up yesterday there was an employee named JESSICA !!! Who worked yesterday 10/17/19 @ around 2 pm. She was working the font register. She was extremely rude, nasty attitude and wasn't helpful at all. !! I have never been so upset leaving sephora before, I actually never ever had a problem there but from now on I will be giving any other sephora location my sales instead thanks to there employee jessica. I actually left Sephora and went to Ulta. I refused to purchase anything at that point so Ulta got my $89 sale yesterday instead. read more

This place is my go-to when it comes to makeup. Sure, I could go to the neighborhood drugstore, but why when you have a store like this nearby. I've been to many Sephora stores in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, and they've all consistently been great. They are always busy yet, I'm almost always approached by a salesperson to see if I need help with anything. Most of the girls are friendly and very helpful. Their products (both Sephora brand and others) are high-quality and never disappoint. I always go in for one or two things and walk out with a whole bag full of makeup. After about 15 years of shopping at Sephora, I can say with certainty I doubt I'll ever go anywhere else to get my makeup. read more

I was passing down from PA and made a stop the Staten Island mall to do some shopping. And to my surprise I had such a pleasant experience walking in and being greeted multiple times by different employees more than willing to help! I was assisted by this lovely employee named Constantine and he helped shade match me to a foundation and concealer. The line was long but went by quickly as there were 4 registers all accompanied by a person. And needless to say I came in and left with what I was looking for with a smile on my face! Loved the service here I will definitely be shopping here again if I'm in the area. read more

Amanda, one of the artists, is very talented. While she didn't work on me personally, the effect she left on my girlfriend is really impressive. If I were a girl, or a boy that used make up, I'd go to her often. read more

I just walked out of Sephora! Freaking asked for help and they told me to wait to I waited for someone to come and no one came - and I have a baby with me - like how hard is it to get color matched! - the girl who I asked for help from was super dismissive and didn't give a shit - fuck u too read more

Customer service sucks and once I was convinced that I'd probably never step into another Sephora again simply because I'm a MAC girl, Agnes behind the register convinced me that coming it's worth another try. read more

The customer service sucks !!!!!! I been here multiple times and the workers walk pass me and do no speak. This store has a lot of workers who stand around doing nothing and do not even ask if I'm looking for Something. Even at the register customer service sucks. This store needs to have a customer service training. read more

i am robot. i am your slave. i will spend copious amounts of money in here, master. as you've promised, you will always preserve my robotic beauty. whenever i'm about to malfunction, you bring me back to life. your apprentices are helpful human beings. i cherish them. fiberwig, urban decay, hard candy, sugar, two faced, venom, nars. 0000001 000000111 000000111111 abort. abort. wallet is self destructing! read more

The staff here does not even acknowledge you when you walk into this store. They give you no eye contact, when you ask for help they act like you are interrupting them and you're a bother. It's really sad the treatment I got In This store today. I ask for assistance she said brushes are over there and basically said its a help your self type of place. Like I shouldn't be asking for help with makeup. Was very disappointed. read more

Just ridiculous. Their customer service is nonexistent. The freeze your accounts for no reason at all and apparently they don't want your money. read more

This is a decent location considering that it's inside a mall. Yes even the Staten Island mall. It's a pretty decent sized store and it's great to have a option in this mall besides the body shop and bath and body works for beauty supplies. What I love about Sephora is that it has so much stuff at such affordable prices. It makes it affordable for someone who doesn't know about makeup to play around. And it doesn't have that stuff why don't you know attitude that a lot of department store make up counters may sometimes have. read more

Customer service slim to none. Majority of the staff are really rude..walking away while asking them questions, giving smart replies when asked a question about mascara. Last time I went one of the male managers ignored me after I asked if someone can help me...none of the staff really KNOW makeup. Better off going to the Sephora in jcpenny. read more

I agree with the other reviewers this place is a gem. The staff is super friendly. I have areas where I am as confused as can be such as concealer and foundation. The consultants have tried different products on my face and I have left without buying anything. I wasn't given a dirty stare, and I ended up buying the recomended products a month of two later. My latest discovery there- Bare essentials eyeliner. AWESOME. read more

Today was my first time buying something from sephora, I was in the quest to find my perfect shade of red:] well at first I kind of hesitated to ask anyone for help because I thought that perhaps they were a bit racist and would probably give me a face but I was beyond wrong ^-^. The staff was beynod friendly:] I asked one of the ladies there what would be my perfect shade of red, she easily gave me a lipstick to try on & I was in love^-^. After I asked her what lip liner would go well with it and she gave me the perfect shade^-^! Despite the fact that the lipstick was a bit pricy, I really didn't care, I am beyond a happy customer:D read more

I will never ever come into this sephora ever again... i asked this woman for help and she said " hold on a minute" when she finished she said what is your question... i told her i needed help finding a shade for my skin.. and she said " oh i thought you had a question i am in the middle of helping someone" so i said " okay is there anyone else who can help me the floor looks empty" and she says " i dont know i have to go finish helping my person" i told her that her customer svc skills were awful and i walked out... wish i got her name but she was a black woman with short man haircut....someone needs to train her on how to deal with clients! She could have simply said give me 5 minutes or let me find someone to help you... ulta it is from now on! read more

I came here looking to purchase two products I ran out of. I also forgot my makeup bag so I just decided to use their tester products. I bumped into one of my friends and she was getting her makeup done by Melvin. So I was chatting it up with them and decided to start applying my own makeup. Melvin wouldn't have it. He called over one of the girls to do it for me. The makeup artist was Breanna. She was so wonderful. She put on a full face of makeup for me. Thanks so much for such awesome work. You guys here rock! read more

I don't come in too often, but when I do, it's worth it. They always have my Bare Minerals products in stock. I love their impulse items near check out. The staff is helpful and I never wait for check out. I have the Beauty Insider card and make sure I use it to rack up those points! Great store! read more

I could spend hours and a lot of money in Sephora. Its products are well-stocked and displayed and the sales team very helpful with trying new products and making sure you buy the right color for your skin tone. I like having the Beauty Insider card to get free gifts every now and then. I just popped in the other day for a Bare Minerals foundation and some Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue for the summer.I also hear their St Tropez self-tanner is one of the best out there! read more

the staff in this sephora never know the answers to ANY questions i ask them. i feel like they're not as knowledgable as the sephoras in manhattan, where i never ever have an issue. I always have some sort of an issue in this location, whether it be staff ignoring me, cashiers conversing amongst themselves while they're ringing me up rather than acknowledging me when i have questions, people not having product knowledge. its quite a hassle. read more

Came here to pick up my birthday gift. Waited in line for about 20 minutes behind these two delinquents. Only 1 cash register was open, meanwhile another employee was pacing around the OTHER register, pretending not to see me IMPATIENTLY waiting to be attended to. (Very rude!) When it was my turn to step up, I just stated that I'm here for my bday gift. The woman very rudely just handed me the gift, NOT EVEN IN A BAG! I walked out of there literally holding a product in my hand without a bag. Just because I came for my birthday gift, does not make me any less of a valuable customer than the next. I was astonished! And she handed it to be with such a fake, sarcastic smile UGH Another time, I had to return a foundation that was in the wrong color for me, and the women behind the counter was handling it in a very rude manner. No need to roll your eyes! Please teach these young employees to be respectful to each of their customers, no matter what the customer needs. The only time they're nice to you is if you are buying something, forget about having nice customer service when returning, or just coming in for a bday gift! read more

I was a little hesitant on returning a purchase I made because I had used the product once and wanted to return it because I was not happy with it. To my surprise the sales associates and Dawn the Manager were the kindness and professional people in the cosmetics industry. The girls were so knowledgeable and helpful in choosing the right cosmetic I was looking for. Being in the Airline industry myself I know when I see terrific customer service! The only way a business will survive is when there is a great manager on board (no pun intended) and that is Dawn. Thank you! Linda read more

Nice store, most of the employees are nice but I have so many points at this point as well as p,atinum membership but I never use it.... It's simply nothing good and useful offered... Useless colors etc. They really Shoud let us to pick samples consumer interested to try out. read more

Sephora is the greatest! I hope they continue to grow. Remember how you could never, ever return a makeup item, anywhere. That always stopped me from taking chances on new makeup because I got fed up with so many products being useless. Because Sephora has the greatest return policy, I have taken chances buying products that I never would have in the past and I have discovered the best lipsticks, foundations, moisturizers, etc...You can test everything and then go home and order online and you get 3 free samples each time. I discovered the best makeup primer from a free sample. read more

I am a beauty insider and shop at Sephora mainly for the variety of make up they have, particularly base and foundation make up and for their face creams. Overall, this store has good customer service - specialists are attentive and friendly. HOWEVER, I went in the other day to buy Anthony Eye Cream (LOVE this product)! The price on the shelf was marked at $26. When I was at the register to pay, it rang up as $28. I politely informed the female associate it was $26. She, without a smile, but with an attitude, told me it was placed in the wrong place. I replied with, "then ALL the Anthony eye cream's are placed on the wrong shelf." I think that pissed her off even more b/c she had to have the male security person check the price. Mind you, I wouldn't have made a big thing about it b/c it was ONLY $2 difference, BUT there was no other customer behind me in line and this associate didn't even greet me with a smile or hello upon approaching the register. So the guy checks the price and confirms it's $26. This girl DID NOT apologize, make eye contact, NOTHING with me. I HATE when customer service people are rude, have attitude, and appear to hate their job, especially when products are not cheap!! So much for customer SERVICE!! read more

I love Sephora! I am a VIP Rouge and in the past I have gone to the makeup classes they offer in the store, as well as had my makeup done on many occasions. The store is always well stocked and for being the only Sephora on the island it is mostly very neat and orderly. All the employees are knowledgeable and willing to help, Vanessa who works there is especially talented when it comes to makeup..she is truly an artist. Now my issue here is...the store never seems to have enough employees working at peak times (holiday season, weekends). There is often one associate working the register and it always seems to be the slowest associate at ringing up. There are also very few employees on the floor to assist customers and do makeup for clients. This isn't fair to the employees, the people shopping or the clients getting their makeup done. Another issue is, if you buy something online and pay with PayPal you only get a store credit they can't refund your PayPal account. That isn't specific to this store but Sephora in general. I mean it's 2019 cmon! I love this store and will continue to shop here but I just wish they had more staff. read more
