Cos Bar of Highland Park

My go to for everything. Their price points cover a nice wide range. More importantly the employees are extremely helpful, personable, knowledgable and open to your feedback. Katie is lovely and my 4 year old boy looks forward to seeing her. She’s a wiz at concealer and no nonsense makeup application. Karen is the queen of gadgets and brushes but both can help with anything. Good perfumes and they always give nice samples regardless of how much you spend. Owner very nice too. Better than blue marble down the street, some of the employees are wenches.

I had the most amazing experience at The Cos Bar. Katie Thomas gave me a skin care consultation and she was fabulous. Her personality instantly brightened my day, and she provided very valuable insight. I only had a few minutes, and the makeup she put on me looked absolutely flawless. I can’t wait to go back!!! The energy in the store is just so refreshing and everyone working there is so generous and great to work with.

My friend had recommended I go to Cos Bar to have my makeup done for my niece’s wedding so I did just that last weekend. I was beyond thrilled with the way I looked when I walked out and in a few pictures I’ve seen taken from a cell phone. All the staff were so kind, sweet and attentive. While one gal applied makeup, another massaged my neck and shoulders knowing I was tense and she was free at the time! I bought a few of the products which were used and recommended from various cosmetic lines to use at home. I will be sure to book again for future special events!

One of my favorite places to shop for makeup! All the lady’s are extremely friendly and more then willing to help you find everything on your list! They also do a beautiful job on doing makeup! By far my favorite place to be! Always waking out looking a like a movie star!

Just started frequenting the Cos Bar of Highland Park. Great place to buy makeup with so many wonderful lines that are all in one place. Karen Graff Schaldach, the manager of the store, couldn’t be more helpful. There is no reason to go anywhere else.

Fabulous service, great layout they had EXACTLY what I was looking for! Well stocked and carefully maintained!

This store is just amazing! My friend and were visiting from out of town, and the ladies in the store were just fantastic to us! They treated us like old friends, and I can’t wait to come back. I got a makeover and looked amazing for my birthday dinner! They were very knowledgeable about all the products and had fantastic recommendations. Love all the new products I bought, and can’t wait to get more next trip!

I went to Cos Bar for the first time on 4÷10÷2015 and was so impressed with the staff. The employees were so sweet and their knowledge of their products was off the charts. My experience was beyond my expectations! I look forward to treating myself again to this upscale cosmetic store which must be the mirror image of wonderland.

The expertise of Karen & the other employees !!! It can get a little
Pricey but it’s worth it when you realize how much individual attention you receive!
I Love you Cos Bar !!!

Service makes the difference.
Living near downtown HP means you have a lot of opportunity to spend your hard-​earned cash on some retail therapy. What makes Cos Bar different is that they treat you like a neighborhood friend instead of just a sale. I was blown away by the handwritten thank-​you note that I received after my first purchase there. I’ve been shopping for my makeup needs there ever since.
Their product selection is great, but you can get some of the products anywhere. What you can’t take for granted is the tangible friendliness and A-​1 service experience.
I spend more time laughing with them when I’m trying out a new look or product than I do with some of my girlfriends. They are just that personable.
Ok enough gushing… Cos Bar is a winner if you like shops with some personality!

This is the best place ever to get make up advice and buy great products. Katie is always helpful. I would not shop anywhere else!

I want to like Cos Bar. I really do. I have been there many times. Initially thought they just had some growing pains. But their pains have become mine. What a mess. They can’t keep staff — revolving door. The staff don’t know how to run the register. Enormous amounts of lost time while they try to figure out how to ring you up. Always running behind — seriously behind — for scheduled appointments. They don’t know the product and can never find what you want because the drawers are always messed up with wrong items in the wrong place. Shop Cos Bar in Aspen but not HP.

I loved this place mainly because of Ricki. She always told me the truth about products and everything she ever recommended to me I ended up hooked on and have continued to purchase as part of my regular routine. She always made me feel comfortable and gave me samples of things knowing that I have sensitive skin and needed to try things first. She never made me feel like I had to buy it, but because of her letting me try things, I always ended up buying more. I just heard that she no longer works there and will have to find out where she works now, because she is the reason that myself and a handful of my friends frequented there. Some of the other staff are very pushy and made me uncomfortable. One of the ladies was very rude to my mom and only goes there for Ricki and now obviously won’t go there. I am very upset that Ricki is no longer there because she is truly wonderful and kind and made me want to come back just to see her. Maybe the was sent to another cos bar? My friends and I are on the look out!
