MAC RAVES - Great MA/Counter/Online Experiences

[samtaro]

I totally dig my counter. My favorite MA's name is Angie, and she's just so funny and sweet..but everyone there is pretty awesome If you're every in the Grand Rapids area, it's the counter in the Rivertown Crossings mall in a Marshal Fields.

The MAC store at Tower's City Cleveland is great, I think the girls name is Eunice, she's Asian. Anyway, she is always very sweet and patient with me and my friend because we spend alot and are like kids loose in a candy store when we go there since it's like 1-1/2 hours away, so I'm sure we drive them batty. I've never met anyone there that wasen't real sweet.

My favorites are all free standing stores:

Towson Town Center (near Baltimore, MD)
Pentagon City (VA)
Tyson's II (VA)

I can't wait to see how the new store turns out in Columbia Mall!

The MAC counter at Myer Brisbane. I've written to maccosmetics.com several times about how wonderful the staff are there, and I really miss them now that I'm in a different state.

In Sydney at the Pro store, Jo is really vibrant and into her product, which makes her a great staff member to snag.

I haven't been to the one in Brandon yet, but I will agree that I received awesome service at International Plaza!

I love my MAC counter in the Nordies at Cerritos mall. All the girls are nice and helpful. I've been to the Brea store and they are not so great there, except for one man named John.

I 2nd this. love this store!! I always love coming back.

I also love the counter in Louisville, KY (@ Macy's in Oxmoor). . .
Tracy was my favorite MA but she has since left. but the current ones are fantastic too, especially Amelia, Jessica, Deanna, Nikki, & Pam.

The counter in Montgomery (I think there's only one?) is fabulous (and they always have lots of LE/DC things! so score extra points for them!).

In Philly, the Nordie's counter at KOP was awesome. . .but the MAC store SUCKED really really bad. they were very horrible.

At every MAC I've been to, I've been very impressed or very unimpressed. they either have great service or they've been very rude. . .it's never in the middle. but overall, I've had overwhelmingly amazing service.

The SAs/MAs at the Macy's counter in downtown Brooklyn offer good customer service and are very friendly. While I've had some standout service at the 34th Street counter, there are many times that the SAs are not familiar with the products or just stand there with a Stepford Wives-type stare.

The freestanding store in downtown Brooklyn is a good place to go if you want personal service, a calm environment, and knowledgeable MAs.

My counter truly rocks!! My city *finally* got a mall after 34 years of waiting. I shop at the Simi Valley Town Center. I get awesome service every time I pop in, which is weekly. I am a MAC junkie, I admit it.

I want to give kudos to: Stacey, Monet, Tori, Lauren, Oppie ( I hope I spelled that right), Daniela, Leo, and Annie, the manager. I am sure I forgot some because I am sooo forgetful. Oops!

MAC at Macys in Simi Valley ROCKS!!! =)

I had a very nice time with the girls from MAC Soho. Only topped by the lovley Shu Uemura make up assistants!

I want back to NYC !!!

[afterglow]

I always go to the Pro one on Robson, in Vancouver! I loveeee it there, the MAs are always quite nice to me. My favorite MA is there... her name is Jenna! She's so helpful and non-pushy, and just genuinely a really friendly person! I can also go to the counter at the Bay in Pacific Centre, the counter at the Bay in Metrotown, and the free-standing store (I think that's what its called) at Metrotown. Actually, I've never really had a bad experience at MAC, but my favorite is still Robson.

my big island counters rock

[brandi]

MAC alamoana store!!! and MAC counters in pearlridge and alamoana!

I second this - there isn't a single bad MA there, they are all fantastic and gently poke fun at my obsession haha!

The counter at Nordstrom in The Westchester (Westchester, NY) is usually staffed with a really nice girl during the day but I'm not so keen on the others and it's usually very busy.

The Bloomingdale's counter across the street is the best, they have some really nice girls there and it's less busy most of the time.

[litlaur]

I like the freestanding store at Perimeter Mall in Atlanta on weekdays. Most of the MAs are nice and helpful, but they can get pretty busy on weekends.

I also like the counter at Lenox Bloomingdale's.

shannyn i love that counter too! they have the nicest people [with exception of a few] and are just plain awesome!!!

[angelwings]

M.A.C Pro Store on Chapel Street in Melbourne, Victoria Australia!!! I love it there! It's make-up heaven!!!

[Jen1234]

The MAC counter at Marshall Field's in Skokie, IL (suburb of Chicago). Awesome service, doesn't get a ton of business because of the nearby MAC counter at Nordstrom, but this one is SO much better.

[bellaetoile]

MAC counter at Macy*s in the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square, CA. (i think thats what its called..its off woodman and riverside in the mall with Bloomie's). I've always had good experiences here, particularly with a girl named Jenn, I think. Plus, occasionally they'll have some leftovers of LE and DC products.

Nordstrom MAC counter in the Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia, CA. once again, incredibly helpful MAs and they too occasionally have leftover items from past lines. only drawback is that this counter is always SUPER busy, unless you go at like, 9 am or 9 pm, when they open or close.

[SugarAsh182]

I love all the MAC stores and counters in Michigan, but especially the one in the Southland mall! The MA's are so nice and helpful! The guy MA always asks me if I'm going to buy the whole collection lol.

[ellemarie]

The counter at Marshall Field's in downtown Minneapolis is my favorite.

[Blyss]

For Greater Toronto Area, I am starting to like the MAC counters at the Bay instead of the freestanding stores. So far my favourites are:

The Bay MAC Counter Square One
The Bay MAC Counter Bay and Bloor (Yorkville)
MAC Freestanding store Yorkville
MAC Pro Store Queen Street

I really dislike the MAC freestanding stores at Square One (except 1 MA and she's always busy) and the Yorkdale one. They're ridiculously snooty and always appear to be bored of 'you'.

Hmmm..I don't really like the Bay counter in Square One-with the exception of one girl the rest are kinda meh..I'll check out the other counters since I'm in the GTA as well.

Melody at Macy's in Town Center Mall in Kennesaw, GA is the best! She always has a smile and is uber-friendly. She even does mini-makeovers on my two girls (5 and 2) with a patience befiting a saint (even I get frustrated when DD2 wants every Tint Toon put on, one right after the other).
