L’occitane

This little store is wonderful. I am a massage therapist and have had the privilege of working a couple of events with them. They are incredibly professional, friendly, and fun to be around. They also clearly are very knowledgeable of each and every product in house. Personally, I have started to use the body wash in the Cade line, I have breakouts on my chest and shoulders. It has only been a couple of weeks since starting to use it, but I am already starting to notice the difference. Do go in if you have the chance, you will not be disappointed. Amy, the manager, is soon to go on maternity leave so say hello!
They also do complimentary facials to exemplify their products. Um, yes.

Stumbled out of the cold and into L’occitane for the first time the other day. Everything in here smells so nice! But this review is mostly for the sales girl on duty: she was great! I wish i knew her name but she was black with a shaved head and bright red lips, a total doll. She knew her products perfectly– I was in the market for a moisturizer with SPF and was overwhelmed with all the different creams and lotions. She knew right where to look and was totally cool about me just trying the products out that day to see if they worked, and wasn’t trying to pay a sale at all which I really appreciate. (the product wasn’t really what I was looking for btw– I tried the shimmery immortal flower face lotion with SPF, it looked, smelled and felt great but was not hydrating enough, about an hour later my skin was dry and flakey again.) Anyways, great staff L’occitane, I’ll definitely be back to try and find a product that does work for me. :)

The only other review is a few years old, so I figured I’d update. I hardly come in here but I decided to splurge on a bottle of Almond bath oil. The sales associate who was working that day was very friendly and sweet. I really liked her! She helped me sign up for rewards program and sure enough I got 30% off in my email and a sample in the mail (which my mother snatched up).
As for the bath oil, they’ve changed the formula since it first came out. It used to be deliciously greasy and perfect for my exotic skin. Forget lotion– this stuff got the job done in one step. It still smells marvelous but now I’m ashy afterwards. Meh.

This is a product review.
My hair was dying. 3 perms over the span of 13 months had brought my hair to the brink of death. It became dry and frizzy. It would get all tangle and form a bird’s nest. Hair was falling out in clumps every time I brushed my hair. My one good infallible quality ceased to exist anymore.
After 1 treatment with the L’Occitane Olive Paste for Hair, my hair regained some shine and the frizz disappeared. I was able to brush it without a painful operation AND very little hair fell out.
As amazing as this product is, it only works like a dialysis machine. It doesn’t treat the root of the problem and I have to do the treatment twice a week to maintain good results.
As for the sales folks, they completely ignored me. I can only blame myself. I looked completely unkempt that day and didn’t look like I cared about myself enough to spend that kind of money.
