I've come across so many rude people and working in customer services myself, it grates on me so much! I think a lot of it has to do with that rude, posh attitude stereotype here or maybe the staffing of one particular department store, because the girls at Mac and Chanel in Glasgow are lovely! Try not to let a couple of bad experiences or the intimidating 'they're looking at me like I don't belong here' feeling ruin what can be a great thing! It took me ages to become confident enough to go up and let someone else do things to my face, but it was worth it later on. Especially in terms of colour matching my foundation for once haha xx<br /><br />kandicewood.blogspot.co.ukAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553922357560586442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762783001765735155.post-7592022678186607572015-01-16T21:06:43.011-08:002015-01-16T21:06:43.011-08:00yeaaah, but many times the employees at Ulta have ...yeaaah, but many times the employees at Ulta have been rude to me where I live and condescending themselves towards me or passive aggressive/snooty.

I wish I could post this as my counter and have every customer read this before coming to me lol the one that reaaally gets on my nerves are the ones that come in for a "free" makeover, well it's not free because you are wasting my time. Makeup artists at counters have daily sales goals that have to be met and I could be working with someone who is going to respect my time and skills by purchasing items. <br /><br />You hit the nail on the head with this post!!!! I always compare my situation with that of hair stylists. People wouldn't dare do half of what they do to us at a haor salon.<br /><br />Giselle ♥ <a href="%E2%80%9Cwww.redlipstickandchampagnedreams.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Red Lipstick & Champagne Dreams</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099860079456392425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762783001765735155.post-88366858144868244272015-01-04T15:17:26.783-08:002015-01-04T15:17:26.783-08:00as a person that works at a makeup counter I'm...as a person that works at a makeup counter I'm really sorry to hear your experience :( not all counters are like that. Not to say that some people aren't like that either. I would suggest that every time you have a bad experience write the company an email and let them know. The higher ups really like to know from customers how their experiences have been with their brand and they tend to take care of it. Good luck hun ♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099860079456392425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762783001765735155.post-75552345326897865832015-01-04T12:34:33.907-08:002015-01-04T12:34:33.907-08:00Hi jenxx49 I'm sorry you've had some bad e...Hi jenxx49 I'm sorry you've had some bad experiences at beauty counters in the UK, don't feel intimidated by the consultants though,a lot of the time they will come over to you when you arrive at the counter because they're expected to speak to every customer and ask if they're ok. If this comes across in a different way I'm sure they're not meaning you can't afford to shop there or are going to nick the testers. In future I would suggest just telling them you're ok thank you and would just like to have a browse and will let them know if you need help. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised next time you go to a counter.

So many times I have been browsing and they look at you/hover infront of you as if A: you can't actually afford to shop there and B: you are going to rob them of the testers/products. I absolutley hate it. Last time I was in Selfridges I wanted to have a look at Illamasqua, but I carried on walking by as both of the assistants looked down their noses at me. It's happened so many times I don't even bother approaching counters, I buy online instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307431598421664911noreply@blogger.com
