The Body Shop

Be advised that this location is now CLOSED.

I was looking for a birthday present for a friend when I wandered in here. For such a tiny looking little store they really have a lot to offer. I didn’t even know they had makeup and skincare items! I just thought it was all bath/​shower stuff. The guy working there was super friendly and super helpful. I will also say the prices were a little better than what I remembered from past visits to other locations, and they were also running a sale on gift bags. Successful trip!

So I was on a personal mission to find Sandalwood oil for a special project I was making (call me the black male version of Martha Stewart), when I walked into this location for the first time.
I’m not a usual habitual shopper of skin care type of places, so I expected to be bombarded by tons of over eager, over zealous clerks to hunt me down to smell their products. My experience here was the exact opposite! In fact, their was only ONE worker– and she was behind the cash register talking on the phone, having a personal conversation (about her night out). Now here’s the kicker– she was on a Blue-​tooth!
I searched the store for about 4 – 5 minutes before she looked up and even acknowledged that I was there. Call me a prude, but since when did good customer service go out of style?
I finally found what I was looking for, only AFTER she told me they didn’t carry it. One bonus star for them, because they were the only place in Atlantic Station to carry what I was looking for.
