Sabon

Lydia is terribly rude, has no tact or grace, and should not be in sales. I love the products here and keep them in constant stock but I’ll shop at a different location to avoid her. She made me feel like Julia Robert’s character in PRETTY WOMAN while I was shopping. The rest of the staff was kind and knowledgeable but Lydia kept interrupting them and it was very uncomfortable and like I didn’t belong. Good news is there’s a new one at the Roosevelt Commons in South Loop! I’ll be going there from now on…

This place is on the pricey side but I love it. It’s like the grown up version of the body shop. Lol. The body mists are very light and especially nice to use during the summer months. I also love buying bday gifts here. Candles and body butters are amazing. I recently bought the soap which may be my last time cause I can’t justify spending $ 8 on one bar of soap… we shall see though.

Just yes, yes, and YES.
A few months back I had my first experience with Sabon. The ladies there were super helpful and friendly.
I tried on several products they had and decided to splurged on some body scrubs and lotions for my mother, sister, and own myself. Can I say… AMAZING? No, not just AMAZING, beyond amazing!
Ok, my sister and mother tried and they told me they it’s great, but I wasn’t convinced enough.
I recently finished the body scrub from L*sh company so had to break out a new jar (Rose Tea) and used it today.
Umm…yes like I said before, it was absolutely beyond amazing. I was amused by soft and smooth feeling it left me on my body after shower.
To be honest, I don’t think I’m ever gonna go back to L*sh. I graduated. Now to the next level? SABON it is.

LOVE SABON.
We were thrilled to find one in Chicago, had only ever been to NYC locations.
The sales associate was really helpful and knowledgable. She suggested the face scrub, which I bought, and loved!
All of their products are quality and reasonably priced. Also, who doesn’t enjoy a free hand scrub and lotion treatment?!

Walked in here on a whim b/​c my hands were dry as hell. I ended up buying the body butter and the hand cream. I could do w/​o the body butter, too much work. But I love me some hand cream.
Went back yesterday for some more and ended up getting the body butter scrub. One of mine (Indos) talked me into it! I’m usually too lazy to use that stuff so I’ll probably only continue to use the hand cream.

What do I love in this store? Let’s see… EVERYTHING! Basically, I’m hooked.
From their scrubs to linen spray to bars, everything is amazing. My favorite scent has to be the patchouli lavender vanilla. It’s the perfect scent in a non-​hippy patchouli kind of way.
Perfect place to to buy a gift since you can mix and match for the gift box.
The staff is very friendly and always welcomes pets, which is great in a neighborhood.

Nice sales girl, gave us a lot of information on all of their products
$ 30 for body scrub is a little pricey but everyone I know who’s purchased has said it’s lasted them over six months, sounds good to me!
I intend stoppin by again soon to grab some mothers day goods!

This place is great! I love the hand creams and buddy scrubs. The girls that work there are extremely helpful, patient, and not pushy to make a sale. This place is good if you need to get someone a gift. My favorite scent is the Musk.

I have been going to Sabon since the day they opened and every time I go it only gets better. Last night we went for dinner around the corner and after was pleasantly surprised to find the store still open at 7:30PM on a Saturday night. My friends were cursing me for introducing them to the store as they knew good chunks of their paychecks were soon going to be spent here. I love their dead sea salt scrubs. I loved the Fig Coco scent so much I had to get that one. The ladies loved it so much one of them got 2 jars of scrub and a bar of Body Butter. I like the concept of the body butter working as lip balm too… The Sales woman was great, Not pushy, friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this store. I hear some celebrities pop in from time to time as well… shhh

In various reviews of Sabon, people compare the store to Lush. My conclusion is this: in Lush, you feel like a princess, and in Sabon, you feel like a queen.
Sabon has a very elegant, sophisticated vibe to it — whereas Lush is sparkly and colorful and sickly sweet, Sabon is subdued and relaxing and less «in your face».
I had a Groupon here, so I went to sniff around and ended up picking out a couple of goodies that I didn’t already have in my self-​pampering arsenal: a lemon-​scented body scrub ($ 32) and a lavender-​scented bath powder ($ 18) that should last for about 8 – 9 baths, according to the very helpful sales girl.
I’ve used both products already, and I love ‘em — the body scrub is a great exfoliater and smells divine, and the the bath powder fills the room with a soft lavender scent and makes a low layer of bubbles in the tub.
All that being said, I’m still a princess at heart, with a ways to go before I can upgrade to a queen’s budget — so I’m sticking to Lush for now. But for women who find Lush repulsive or overwhelming? Sabon’s the way to go.

Excellent service and a good selection of Israeli soaps and beauty products. Some of the men’s bath products are expensive, but they are well packaged in glass containers and certainly curated for the male-​grooming market. Keep up the good work!

What a great store! Upon entrance, I was greeted warmly by a sales girl. She was busy with another customer, so I showed myself around for a bit. After the other customer left, the salesgirl immediately came over and asked me questions about what I was looking for, scent preferences, etc. She encouraged me to try out many different items (including the scrubs at the fountain). I ended up purchasing a body butter, shower oil, and butter cream. The majority of the scents in the store were pleasant and I never turned my nose up once after taking a whiff. Yes, it’s a little pricey but you only have one body so spoil it once in a while!

Maybe I’m cheap or uncultured or something, but I do not understand how this place has almost five stars. I’m not one of those people who gives one-​star reviews to try to knock down a highly rated business — that’s just immature and frankly stupid. I was actually going to give it two stars after seeing so many positive reviews, but no, I came here to give a one-​star review so that’s what I’m going to give. «Eek!» is a better description of my reaction than «Meh» anyway.
I had never been into a Sabon store before, but I went in here because I had been looking for reed diffusers and saw some on the shelf. Some of them smelled nice, but they were waaaaaaay out of my price range. Over $ 30 for a tiny bottle? Yeahno. The salesgirl seemed desperate (there was no one else in the shop) and I felt bad so I decided to look around at the other products before exiting. Some of the prices were slightly more reasonable, but the product just didn’t seem worth it. Many of the soaps and bath bombs I could hardly even smell, and when I could smell them there weren’t any scents I could get excited about.
I suppose I should disclose the fact that I am a huge Lush fan, and this just seemed like Lush with less interesting products and a fancier store. So the soap is handmade in Israel. La de da. Is that supposed to be impressive in some way? Israel is cool, but I don’t know anything about it in relation to soap.
I did like the idea of the loofah soap. But I have plenty of Lush soap here at home, so I’ll stick with that. Sorry, Sabon!

Sabon is simply one of my favorite stores to frequent for soaps, body lotions, and oils. Everytime I have gone, I am greeted warmly and never once followed like a hawk. If you are new to their products, the benefits of Dead Sea Salts, or what products suit your needs, their staff are happy to walk you through their different product lines and offer useful recommendations. I am so pleased with their products that this is where I go for special gifts for my hard-​to-​buy-​for friends and birthday/​Christmas presents. They can make great baskets which can be shipped anywhere in the country (a benefit if you hate lugging bulky packages to the post office and you dislike waiting in line.)
Their store is an oasis. Sandwiched in between Chipotle and a tea shop, Sabon feels like a soothing spa cave with a neat water feature /​giant sink in the center, that you can use to wash off lotions and oils you might have sampled. While their price may be higher than drugstore quality, you get great quality items that do wonders to your skin. Every gift recipient that I have given Sabon products have since been converted and I continue to get hints to keep repeating my purchases for all future gifts. Try it, you’ll like it.

Their diffuser (smelly sticks) is amazing! I have a stinky boyfriend but his entire apartment has been smelling wonderful for over 7 months.
I got the Champagne sent, it’s not masculine or feminine it just makes the whole place smell good, not over baring or too light. Works so well even clothing will have a faint but really good sent. The (indian i think) guy that is always working is very sweet and explains everything very well. So worth the $ 34! I love it, it’s priceless.

First tried these products about 4 years ago when my (then) boyfriend bought me a few goodies. I am not wild about the face mud stuff or the foot cream, but for the last 2 years since I tried it, I’ve been dreaming about the Jojoba face cream. On a recent visit to Chicago, I finally got to check out the store, what a delight!
The packaging and store design are minimalist and elegant– makes me wish i had a cute bathroom where I could display my products. The sales guy definitely had his product schpeal rehearsed (I hear him say it to like 4 different people including me), but he was patient with me while I sampled a bunch of different things.
They have this cool huge sink thing in the middle of the store where you can try out the body scrubs, etc. on your hands. I ended up getting a scrub and some hand cream for a friend ($ 32 and $ 14, respectively), and of course, the jojoba face cream ($ 18). I think the prices are a little steep for their body products, but for face stuff, it’s actually quite cheap. I think this stuff makes a great little gift.
Random FYIs:
— They have REALLY cute gift boxes, but they’re pricey ($ 3.50 for small size, $ 5 for large).
— If try to call to order stuff, it costs a LOT to have it shipped (like $ 15 or something– may be worth it depending on how much stuff you order). However, the sales man told me that once a quarter, they do a free shipping special, and if you are visiting from out of town, they will ship stuff to you for free, and without sales tax (I assume there is some minimum purchase requirement).

Products to die for. My brother turned me on to Sabon. You walk in to this fabulous place to a large face bowl to experience their products. Kadia is great. I bought a boatload of stuff to bring back to Cali with me. They also have a website… www​.sabon​nyc​.com. The milk bath and mineral powder are amazing. I love the way my skin feels after using these products. I have the shower gel, body scrub, body cream, body butter and mineral powder. I hope to be using these products for quite some time.
My favorite scents are the lavender apple, ginger orange and the patchouli, lavender and vanilla.

Wonderful handmade soaps, oils, potpourri, washclothes, etc.
Great gift baskets.
All cruelty free.
I have sensitive skin and I am allergic to you name it.
I haven’t had one problem with the soaps I bought there, at all!
The best thing I’ve ever bought from there is the mud soap, which is wonderful. I have had acne prone skin since I was 10, and even now am prone to occasional breakouts. Since I started using the mud soap, none. I once forgot my mud soap when on vacation, and had to buy an alternative, and immediately started breaking out. I now know better.
I recommend this place for everyone. Their products, even the scented ones, actually smell NATURAL, and they work.

I don’t know how I haven’t ever written a review for this place. I absolutely loooooove their products. I swear by their body scrub in particular, especially if you use it right before shaving. After using this body scrub, I cannot go back to another, they are all piss poor in comparison. Some of the scents are obnoxious, but I’m a fan of the coconut one that is very subtle.
Other great products to try: foot cream, seaweed face products, body butter.
YUM! Great quality, good prices without being absurd, and very nice staff. HIGHLY recommended!

I didn’t have high expectations, but was very impressed. I thought it was going to be like LUSH, which I am not a fan of…
Great scented bath products. The store is well laid out and products are pretty self explanatory. They have amazing smelling soaps, body creams, exfoliators, oils, salt scrubs, masks, etc. Favorite scents were lavendar, green tea, rose and coconut vanilla.
The staff here is very attentive and happy to answer questions. I’m pretty brand loyal and stick to L-​Occitane, Fresh and Santa Maria Novella. However, I think this is a great place for something different. Makes great gifts too!
