Children at Sephora

[Briana363]

I went to Sephora today for the first time in a while and was quickly reminded why I only order online. It was an absolute nightmare in the store. Little kids running around, straight up getting pushed in the aisle and not just once, making a total mess of the testers, watched one kid squirt expensive product all over the floors and just bolt. Not to mention just being full blown disrespectful. I quickly just tested the products I was curious about and got out of there to order what I liked online. I mean why do little children need to be in a store selling under eye depuff wrinkle care? Children should have no reason to be in a store with higher end lines like Dior.. why can’t they just go to a regular store and get basic makeup like the rest of us did. If this is how it consistently is in the store, it’s honestly not fair for people who wanted to get out and enjoy a treat yourself experience of testing and getting a nice product that little kids are too young to understand that lesson. Even if the parent/s were there, they were still so insane. I completely understand that not everyyy kid is like this and can be respectful but in my opinion this should not be a store for young children.

It can be frustrating for many people when children in a store create a disruptive environment. However, it’s important to recognize that this isn’t the fault of the children themselves or the store—it ultimately falls on the parents to ensure their children are properly supervised and respectful of the space.

While some may argue that children shouldn't visit stores like Sephora because of the expensive products, this reasoning doesn't hold up. Many retail stores carry high-end items and still allow children inside. It’s not fair to generalize about all children based on a few instances of disruptive behavior.

Instead of discouraging families from visiting, stores could implement clear rules to protect their products and maintain order. For example, if a child damages or wastes a product, the parent or guardian should be held accountable for paying for the item. This approach emphasizes responsibility and fairness without unfairly targeting children or their presence in such environments.
