I either go to Browns in Chester as we have relatives over there or to the MAC shop in Nottingham. I have found the shop in Nottingham especially good as I was there in male mode and the MA had no problem trying different shades of foundation on me in the shop. Still it does help having such a pro Trans policy as they have.

I go to Plymouth most of the time. Its ok, Chloe is a darling, thats who i normally deal with.
I like Bristol for their efficiency and not feeling the need to hassle me all the time. Last time I was served there by a really lovely lady who was rushed off her feet but she was smiley and really sweet.
Had mixed response at the Pro Store, first time I went the MAs were really nice and helpful, the second time not so... but it was different MAs.
I love the MAs in Bath, particularly Mikey, he's lovely and I know so many people who think he's the bees knees. In fact, i would be going to Bath on Friday for a spend if I didn't need to go to Zara.

I know what you mean. The counter in HoF is where I buy most of my stuff, but you do get a snobbish so to speak vibe off some of the MAs. But I can only say I've only waited a long time to be served once or twice when it's been really busy, but then again they probably recognise me from going there all the time or them coming into where I work (s'bux).
I've only been to the Fenwicks counter a couple of times, but they do seem like a more approachable bunch =)

I usually go the pro store in Soho, in fact I went today to get some goodies!! I haven't tried the one in covent garden or the one in kensington but I think I will check them out.
The pro store is ok although they have been out of quite a few things lately! some of the MA's are a bit rude tho, I mean I am not easily intimidated I am 6' 2" with multicolored dreads so you kinda can;t miss me yet today they still stood about chatting whilst I was stood there like a lemon! ALthough the guy that works in there is super friendly and 2 of the girls I have dealt with are really nice, so now I try to get one of them so that I know a nice person is getting the sales commission or whatever!

Yup, I got served by the manager the other day, and we had a nice natter about the upcoming collections, she was really lovely.
I nabbed the last lightscapade in the shop too, after promising myself I wouldn't be suckered in.
