What we’re doing to keep you, our employees, and others safe as you shop in reopened stores (Updated 5/26/21)

[SephoraBIC]

[UPDATE 5/26/21] Effective 5/28/21, based on recently announced new guidance from the CDC, we will allow clients who are vaccinated to enter our stores without a mask, unless federal/state/local regulations require them by law. We request that any client who is not vaccinated continue to wear a face covering, and we acknowledge that any client, especially those who are at higher risk, may choose to continue wearing a mask. Thank you in advance for considerate cooperation with this revised policy.

Just like you, we’ve been sheltering in place and taking things day by day throughout this unprecedented situation. We’ve also been working hard to implement rigorous in-store processes and training that will ensure a safe shopping environment for you. Thank you for your support—we’re excited to get back to beauty and see you in store once again.

• We’re thoroughly cleaning stores before opening, and we've increased cleanings and regular disinfecting throughout the day.
• We’ll be doing employee health prescreening prior to start of their shift.
• Where required, we’ll be limiting the number of shoppers who can enter at any given time in stores with capacity restrictions.
• Where required, we’re observing social distancing.
• We may ask you to comply with other additional, locally mandated safety measures.
• In locations where local health guidance allows, you are permitted to freely interact with testers and even self-apply. We ask that you use our disposable, single use applicators and sanitize your hands before and after handling a tester. Check with your local store to see what’s permitted. If you require more assistance, our beauty advisors are there to help you.
• Sampling will be limited to select items in select stores. Check with your local store to see what’s available for sampling.
• Hand sanitizer is available for use throughout the store.
• We’re offering contactless payment with compatible phones and chip cards.

8. What if my local store was closed when I went to pick up my birthday gift, can I still pick up my gift in store? Yes! If your birthday was during your local store closure, you get an extra 30 days to pick up your gift in store. Check your local Sephora for more information.

9. How does the healthcare and frontline promotion work?  We are so appreciative of those on the frontline dealing with this national crisis.  As a thank you to healthcare workers and first responders, we are offering 10% off the total of their in-store purchase until further notice with a current employee ID, badge, or paystub. See your local store for terms and details.
