SEPHORA Westgate 2hrs Click Collect

poor customer service. so many staff but dont bother to come offer help? even the security guard initially accused me of opening stock item when im clearing using tester. dont bother about redeeming birthday gift, they pretend to go in and check and just say dont have every year. (staff was roxanne). afterwards i emailed customer service to ask where i can redeem and they said all stores have it in stock so clearly the westgate staff was lying. what’s the point of having such member benefits when your staffs don’t give it out??

Sephora Singapore, the "ugly"side of beauty. As an avid makeup and skincare fanatic, I have been supporting Sephora sg since it's launch in 2008. Initially, their service was pretty good and I spent thousands a year and accumulated my gold membership throughout happily. However, recently, I started to face many issues with their customer service (cs). I tried to contact their chat line but it was hard to reach out to them as they would only get back to me hours later and if I was not present in the chat, I would need to repeat the whole process again. Next, calling Sephora ion was worse than calling your neighbourhood bakery. According to their staff, they said their phone had issues and they were in the midst of 'fixing it. This went on for a long time and I was wondering? If ion was the flagship store, shouldn't the basic be to have a proper working phone? Moreover, when I contacted the help desk, initially one agent will reply but they will ghost you after a few emails without solving the issues and another agent will take over. All in all,horrendous cs. Therefore, I had no choice but to make my way down to Sephora Westgate in march 2025 to discuss about the issues I faced, which was the wrongful deduction of my points. Apparently the Sephora app had some glitches too so I mentioned that to a staff named Elaine Toh. This staff was soft spoken and 'seemed' to care about my legitimate issues. I was obviously very frustrated with the cs that I had received so far and I thought she would be able to understand me as her body language seemed like she was empathetic. I was feeling unwell that day and the shop was very hot so I just wanted to resolve my issues with the wrongfully deducted points and get out from there. However, a few days later, on the 10 march 2025, I received an atrocious email from Sephora's CRM manager Cynthia Lai, which I believed to be an internal email. The shocking and unprofessional email depicted me, the customer in a horrendous light and had many slanderous and libelous remarks about me using words like ' allegedly' and 'demanded' etc. Just to point out, it was not an "alleged" deduction of points as I have evidence to prove it. It was evident that Elaine had defamed me to her manager and because of their blunder of wrongfully sending the customer an internal email, it caused me great grief and injustice as sending an accusatory one sided email without finding out the actual facts is beyond unreasonable. As a gold member customer of Sephora for so many years, it is beyond appalling to be maligned. I do not need to spend thousands of dollars a year just to complain for nothing. Truly lame 😒 Lastly, the most exigent issue currently is no longer about the technical glitches anymore but to emphasize that I have never faced such a terrible customer service from a large organisation like Sephora, which is actually under the luxury brand company, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Even Faceshop has better service in my opinion. On 18 march 2025, after Sephora realised that they had sent me a wrongful email, their recovery action was a ridiculous 15th percent discount which I do not need. And it was a joke because within a week, the Sephora sales was on and gold members could get 20 percent. LMAO. I have posted only one section of evidence of their internal email to prove that their app does have glitches. This review is my own experiences and to remind all Sephora lovers that just like the brand logo of Sephora- "black and white", it doesn't reflect on how 'black and white' they truly are. All the glitz and glamour that you see of them might just be a facade? Who knows...

Extremely poor staff service by the staff manning the Rare Beauty section!! I was checking out the Rare Beauty blush, which I was very interested in purchasing. All the shades have a tester, except for one shade. I asked the staff for help and she tried to look for it, but when she couldn't find it, she just brushed me off, saying that it was unavailable without a good explanation. When I asked again, she said the tester was broken (obviously she didn't know what happened to the tester). I proceed to ask how I am supposed to try out the shade if there is no tester. She subsequently replied sarcastically, saying how can she open a brand new one just for me. Sorry, but they just lost a customer. If the tester is broken, shouldn't it be replaced with a new one? The staff attitude is unacceptable. Instead of helping to solve an issue for the customer, she just brushed me off.
