Seacret Kiosk

Don’t make eye contact… in fact avoid this kiosk at ALL costs.
I got cornered by a guy who put some sort of lotion on my hand, followed by a cream or serum on my wrist to remove dead skin. Then he went for my face and I told him I didn’t want anything on my face but he put stuff on my face anyway telling me my make-​up wouldn’t get messed up. It did mess up my make-​up and left this gooeyness on my face.
As soon as he finished his spiel he tried to get me to buy something. I politely declined several times and I got attitude and eye rolling from the sales guy.
I don’t care if the product is the most amazing product ever. The customer service sucks… not to mention creepy.
Run…don’t walk past this kiosk.

1 Star is too good for this place. More like negative 5 stars.
I can’t tell you how pushy and insulting these sales people are (for an INCREDIBLY overpriced and ineffective product) but I will try.
I don’t know how I got lured in, since I was minding my own business, on my way to the Apple store to buy a replacement iPhone charger. The guy offered a free sample and before I knew it, and without asking permission, he starts lathering «stuff» all over the right side of my face, despite my objections! I told him to stop and he still did it! I was in shock. Literally. Couldn’t react.
After assaulting me with various creams he shoved a mirror in my face and criticized the «deep wrinkles» on my face and the «bags under my eyes» and how the creams just eliminated them. I looked and saw no difference AT ALL. What made it worse is that I was looking quite good that day and feeling great about it. He was so full of it.
He then announced the $ 250 price tag for just ONE serum and I felt my jaw hit the floor! WOW! I tried to politely bow out. No deal, I said. I told him I wasn’t his target audience and that he needed to focus on the little rich old ladies that shopped at this mall. I was only here for an iPhone charger. He couldn’t accept that and insulted my clothing and skin in a way that I think he felt was polite, but it wasn’t in the slightest. I was flabbergasted. I told him he could shove a mirror in my face as often as he liked but it wasn’t going to change my mind OR the size of my bank account. I told him repeatedly he was embarrassing me and he ignored me. I have never had this kind of experience in my life. I tried to walk away, but every step I took he was there. Like some crazy nightmarish choreography.
I kept telling him (his name is Hayay) that I was a single mom on a single income and that this wasn’t in my price range and at one point he told me I was driving a hard bargain! I exclaimed that saying NO isn’t driving a bargain!
It doesn’t pay to be polite at this shop. Don’t even give them a second look. WALK AWAY. Their product is a sham and their staff is desperate and devious. In fact, since I’ve been there I’ve been jokingly quoting what the clerk said to me and my daughter has been yelling at me for even listening to such a horrible person.
DO NOT SHOP HERE.

I received a gift in May from a dear friend which he purchased from a Seacret kiosk. And when I heard that my buffer could be replaced every time I needed it, I was ecstatic! This was until I made my way for replacement of said buffer… There is one of these kiosks in Manhattan Beach, near my work, and conveniently across from the Apple store. As a technical worker and person by capacity, I make frequent purchases at Apple. So, I run from my job at Directv and drop off my buffer to get replaced. And yes, albeit, frequently, nonetheless, I became disgusted after my last trip to Manhattan Village, and lectured by some greasy haired punk that told me I need-​ant come in more than once a month, if I used acetone to clean my buffer. I didn’t bother telling him that if he used shampoo, his grease wouldn’t fall onto his face and give him acne. I digress. Thanks for the lecture kiosk worker; however the cost of fuel to drive from my office in my Porsche is more than the effort to have said buffer replaced, than to spend the money for a manicure by a professional. Great business plan, Seacret!!!

I stopped at this kiosk in the Manhattan Village because my husband needed a face lotion. The sales person asked to show me a nail product and I was amazed with how shiny my nail became, and was interested in the promise that the buffed nail would stay shiny for a month, and would not chip or split. I was told the regular price was for the buffer kit was $ 89 but today was only $ 59, so I purchased the nail set. I was also shown a face serum that promises to be as affective as botox, and was $ 600 but I could have it for $ 200. I didn’t purchase it.
When I got home, I looked at the website to get more product information to find the nail kit for $ 49 and the face serum for $ 100. I was over charged at this kiosk! I called to ask for a refund and my call wasn’t returned. I intend to call the Manhattan Village to complain. I’ve seen other similar stories on Unilocal and now I don’t trust Seacret and would not spend another penny there. How can I believe in the integrity of their products when they are repeatedly dishonest?
