Oh snap. No heat stroke please. Yeah, I think the sleeveless shirt with a nice blazer would be perfectly fine. Usually though, for the last interview they’ll ask you to wear black on black as if you were coming to […]

Well, first of all good luck and I wish you well on your interview. For your outfit, I would suggest all black if possible as that’s what Sephora used to have their employees wear. The outfit you’re talking about […]

Gaby- We had 9 seasonals and kept two girls. So I think it depends on budget yes, but also how you are working. Lots of people took this as “just a weekend thing,” so they’d call out a lot for shipment. This […]

Awe, thank you! You’re very welcome! Again, I didn’t have anyone to ask when I was going through this process so I was completely lost and was starting to go crazy at how long this whole thing took!

I think the […]

Yeah my background check took almost two weeks as they were opening a brand new store downtown along with hiring for our store, so there’s a lot of people to go through and try to get done. Plus they have to […]

Every store is different I’ve noticed so i’m not surprised that your hierarchy is different. Ohhh the basket girls. They’re girls in color who are told to hand out baskets and greet. It’s usually a time when the […]

That’s so awesome! Congratulations! You’re VERY lucky as they had me wait until my background, drug, and references came back. Took foreverrrrr. Well, there’s DIC who handles the schedule of the day (breaks and […]

Jazmine – You do get a brush belt, but you only get basic brushes for right now. We’ve just switched to a new “pro” line and the brushes we have now are more expensive as they are better quality than the previous […]

Well, since you’re already in color that’s a start for sure. You can go to any of the worlds and be a consultant which for the US they call that a Personal Beauty Adviser. It’s someone who is trained in all three […]

JC Penney’s owns their own Sephora, so it is not connected to free standing Sephoras at all. They train their own staff just as they would any beauty counter and they worry less about Beauty Insider points as well […]

Pronouncing our product names incorrectly. “Do you have Laura Mer-cer?” It’s pronounced Mer-si-yay. I understand a lot of the foreign companies have complicated names, but it’s a guess it’s just a gigantic pet […]

Ohhh yeah. Surveys are huge with us, that’s kind of why cashwrap is nice to start out at. You get to speak to everyone who passes by from every world and make their experience a liiiiiittle better. I just circle […]

Wow, that is amazing! You’ll definitely do very well then. I’m sure she’ll start you off in color, especially if you have experience. I’m not sure about each store but there’s a color artist, a Beauty Studio […]

I’d say that’s fairly normal. Usually it does take a few months to get in but something must have stuck with them when you came in! I had two interviews actually! I thought I had three, but no. Just the two. One […]

No problem! I’ve been asked a few times what it’s like and such with clients, but we usually have to give them the glamorous version ;D
OH! Another few things I would like to add..I was just talking to a […]

Hello!
I work at a Sephora located in Oregon and I’d be more than happy to help you with any questions you have.
So first off…
Uniforms!
It is all black, but the unfortunate part is, there’s no room for […]
