Testers were fresh and I was able to try out most of the products on my hand while browsing. Besides skincare, they also have tools and makeup! I was shocked to see my beloved Innisfree powder amongst the shelves, along with some TonyMoly and a variety of cute lipsticks and glosses. I came here looking for a specific moisturizer, a pack of eyebrow razors, and any other fun skincare tools I could find. Unfortunately, they didn't carry the brand of skincare I was looking for, and the eyebrow razors were a bit overpriced for my taste. Not sure if the owner is still getting the shop set up or if she just got a shipment in, but there were a TON of unpacked boxes behind the counter and on the floor. It was a bit difficult to maneuver around the store, and the bottom of my coat was covered in dust from brushing up against the boxes on my way out :( Ultimately, I would suggest coming here if you want personalized recommendations (the owner is very skincare savvy) or if you want to see a product in person before purchasing. They mostly have higher end products and not many brands I use, so I probably won't be back unless I'm in need of my Korean makeup staples.

Skincare, haircare, makeup, and even some beauty tools cover the walls from top to bottom. I stopped by because I was looking for kbeauty sheet masks for the drier weather and ended up leaving with two Dr. Jart masks. These were only $4.25/ea compared to the $6 I would have paid at Sephora. The ladies seemed super nice too. If you're looking for some kbeauty, definitely give this place a shot.

I have mixed feelings about this Ulta location after visiting on this day…read more I was already shopping around at Arsenal Yards & wanted to grab some makeup goodiesi put in an online pickup order via Ulta app while I was shopping around. My order was supposed to be ready in about an hour & the store inside wasn't busy, so I went in to ask if I could help pick out the items I purchased for online pickup and bring it to the counter to scan out to quicken the process. The store associate told me that this works, so I went to pick out all the stuff that I had placed an order for and brought it to the counter. Then she proceeds to try to charge me for all the items I gave her to scan instead of just going by the online order. I guess she didn't know how to do online pickup orders and got confused but she wanted to refund my online order and have me repurchase everything. I didn't want to do this since I didn't really see the point in doing so. Instead, I just waited until my order was fulfilled later in the day & picked up my order an hour after all of this. I feel like an online pickup order shouldn't have been this difficult & if my order couldn't be fulfilled in time or earlier, it would've been okay to have said so.

I have gotten shampoo and conditioner bars, tablets for multi purpose cleaner, scrubs etc. Staff is always very helpful in answering my questions!

However, all of the products are built to last. The shampoo and conditioner bars are $10-15, a lot more than what a Garnier product would at Rite Aid, but they certainly last a lot longer and come with the satisfaction of not adding more plastic to our lives. You do have to come prepared, but that is more of a hassle associated with trying to live at a plastic minimum in an economy that wants everything in plastic packages. I find their website, which lists every product they have, really helpful for planning in advance! It might be useful to see an approximate list of prices there as well, to assist in financial planning as well as what containers to buy, though. The staff is helpful and ready to answer any questions, and really open to suggestions about what customers would like to see in the store! I hope this business continues to grow.

I have used it through all my pregnancies and now I use it for all my aching muscles. It has a very strong scent of Eucalyptus and might turn some people off but it is better than the Bengay smell. I have recently have bursitis in the hip and I use this product at night to help get to sleep. I heard they redesigned the container and possibly messed with the formula but I can not tell the difference if they have. I like this location and the people are very friendly and helpful. It is the perfect location in Harvard Square right in the middle of all the action.

I hate going to this store, but it's the closest option to my house. Every time I visit, I make a purchase, yet I always feel unwelcome. The employees often stand around talking to each other, and I feel awkward interrupting them to ask a question. When they do respond, they answer quickly and walk away. Today, I tried to mention my experience to the cashier while paying, but she completely ignored me as if she didn't hear me. My neighbor told me the same thing

She cheerfully let me in on a wonderful Sephora perk: you can get a sample size of any perfume you want. All you have to do is ask! Because my current scent of the moment doesn't come in a suitably small size, I dashed into Sephora for a tiny sample of Tom Ford's Black Orchid. They were all too happy to give it to me and even suggested a few other spicy floral scents with effervescent citrus notes that might also appeal. For the traveler who hates checking baggage and doesn't dig getting hassled by the TSA I present to you: Sephora perfume samples!

I love going here to find Asian goodies that you typically wouldn't find nearby. Here, you can find some KBeauty, Japanese snacks, cute stuffed animals, Asian makeup products, kitchenware, hair products, little knick knacks, and more! I personally love getting beauty products, snacks, and stuffies from here. I think prices are fair for their items since they're not sold at any other stores around here and if you order them online, expect to wait a couple weeks to receive. So, I don't mind their prices because of this.

I was intrigued by this beauty supply store and made the trek to Chinatown on a Saturday afternoon…read morejust to check out what Tao's had. The store is well stocked with a variety of Asian (mostly Chinese but also Japanese and Korean) beauty products and supplies/stationary along with some snacks. It gets easily crowded in the shop so be prepared to dodge other customers eyeing the makeup section. The unfortunate thing about this store is that some of the price labels are not placed properly or placed at all-- it kept me guessing at what the prices of some of the products were. I could've asked the employees, but who wants to ask the staff every time they want to know how much a product costs? Just a fair warning that you really SHOULD however get the proper pricing of these products prior to purchasing because some of these makeup/beauty products must be imported and therefore MUCH more expensive than if you would purchase them from an online supplier. My total came out to nearly $50 (yes, you read that right. 50 bucks) and all I bought were 4 products: an eyeliner, hand sanitizer, hand cream and dispoable razors. You can't even return these products because RETURNS ARE NOT ALLOWED. I'm sad I even joined the rewards program because I was charged 5 bucks for the keychain tag thing they give rewards members. The employee DID tell me this prior to me joining, but I didn't hear her properly because I was shocked at the additional charge when I did receive my receipt. I even saw that they were selling a limited edition Asian Starbucks tumbler for a whopping $64. I'm giving 2 stars for the fact that there are some great variety of Asian beauty supplies (some reasonably priced, others not so much) offered at Tao's as well as for the very friendly employees who came by to ask if I needed anything several times.
