I come to sephora a lot and I'm usually left standing by myself untill someone is free enough to help me and usually the associates are not friendly. They get snobby, and it ends up me being in a really pissed off mood. I come around 4-5 and I come across the same snobby people, I remeber I was doing a return and the associate was extremely snobby and made me look stupid for making a return. I picked up a few makeup products and my skin is super sensitive and they end up reacting on me so since I spent like $80 on the product and they didn't work on me, sensible thing would be is to bring it back so I don't waste my money. So I brought the items back and the associate acted as if I stole this products, used them to my hearts content and then brought it back. She kept telling me that these product were all used and I kept telling her very politely yes they're used, I used them and they reacted on my skin so I'm bringing it back. And she replied in a very rude way saying well what was the need of purchasing these products, I look at her with the obvious expression of are you stupid?? I didn't say anything I just said well I won't purchase them next time. One of my returns including a concealor from nars, I had purchased it the day before and when I had opened it, it looked clearly used, it wasn't a new bottle because you can see the bubble spots in the jar. I told her that I had purchased it the day before and when I opened it, it clearly was used. And what does the associate do, she tells me straight up that she's not gonna return it and she does something where on the receipt I got back, she notes, defective item not eligible for return. So I can't come back and return it and I just wasted my money on a product other people used. I'm in shock and nearly in tears at the rudeness and how much of a bitch she was. And then even after all that insult I got my return and wanted to shop for other things and in the corner of my eye as I walk away from the register, I hear her talking shit about me to another co worker, telling the co worker how I'm trying to outsmart sephora and how stupid I looked. Like what the heck?!?! I spent my hard earned money on products that reacted very badly on my skin and that was clearly used by someone else and she's saying I'm the one to outsmart them??? I immediately walked out and told myself I'm never coming back when she's working. And that's how it is, everytime I see that associate I willl never step foot onto sephora and I told my friends and family about my experience. I should get her name so I can report her to the manager on what an awful associate she is. Then I came another time for foundation and again I stood there looking like an idiot because everyone else was too busy talking to each other rather than helping the customer and mind you im a very polite and understanding customer, I will never argue with an associate or be rude because I understand how busy it gets. Then I was approached by an associate named Kiana and OMG she's like a best friend at sephora. Even though I just met her I feel like shes my best friend at sephora. I will only go there if Kiana is there. She's so friendly and Is quick to give you what items you need. She works so hard to give you the right products and she works with you to make sure you're happy. I was so so so pleased. She's such an awesome person I couldn't believe how nice and friendly she was! Another thing is that she took in account my sensitive skin and allergies to some ingredients and she thoroughly went through every product to make sure I had the right product and indeed I always do! My skin never reacts on the products she gives me and because of her friendly and funny conversations I leave in such a happy mood! I love her so much! And she's my go to gal at sephora! Sephora all I have to say is she's hands down the best associate I've come across there and I will always come back thanks to her! 5 star rating for this place only thanks to her! read more
