If he goes up a block and to the left there's some shops...I don't know how long it will keep him occupied as they are pretty random...not a mall or strip mall atmosphere.

Re: MAC Pro NY

My husband had to call multiple times as we were literally standing outside the door going "where the hell are you guys again?" (in more polite terms, though, haha). I actually took a picture of the outside so I could use it for future reference. There is literally NOTHING telling you it's there except the tiny little sign.

Here is the pic... hope I resized it small enough...

I was in awe the first and only time I went. But I did go in with a list so that made it easy. But I could've gone very crazy if my husband didn't set a budget (he was treating). I want to go back and try some cream color bases.

Re: MAC Pro NY

There's a sign on the right side, and it'll have MACPro with a button. press that and it buzzes you in. then it's onto the elevator and up to the 2nd floor I think. Hope that helps!

Hi!

I'm new to Specktra. Forgive me if this is the wrong forum!

I'm going to be in New York next week, and I was wondering if you have to be a MAC Pro member to visit the MAC pro store in New York?

I know you don't have to be for other MAC Pro locations, but I wasn't sure if this one was any different, since it's such a large facility.

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Re: Question about the MAC Pro Store in New York

You do not need to be a pro member. It is the same as any other pro store.

I figured as much, but I wasn't sure. Thank you so much.

Re: Question about the MAC Pro Store in New York

you dont have to be a member, however its not an easy location to find. there is no sign outside of the building and the entrance is one door next to this restaurant and i walked past it a few times before i realized that is where i have to go. you will not see a mac sign on the building or in the lobby. you will have to know to get on the elevator and push 2 because there is no sign for the floor either. i dont know why its so secretive but it is!

Re: Question about the MAC Pro Store in New York

yeah it was difficult to find. My first time there I past it like 4 times. A couple of city workers outside asked me if I was lost because I kept passing them so many times. Finally I found it, but I felt really stupid.

wow! that's just like my counter here (Jersey City), but I have a trillion lipsticks and wanted to go to the pro store so i could get some e/s or l/g (which i heard you can get for B2M only @ a freestanding store).

Thanks so much for the info

I am going to bump this thread because DH and I are going to be in NYC in a couple of weeks and I want to check it out. I thought I read in another thread that the NYC Pro store was no longer allowing non-Pro members to shop there. Anyone know whether that's true or not? I'm not a Pro member and I really need to get my Pro fix!

 

[purrtykitty]

Bump again, please see question above!!

 

[hello_kitty]

Damn, I hope that's not true. I haven't been back, but it'd be nice to know before I waste the time/money taking the subway down there if I ever do make it back as I have no other reason to be in that part of NYC usually.
