Is that the blond tim?? When I lived in hawaii (bout 4 yrs ago) I loved to buy stuff from him!! He was always super nice!!

There's a few MAs at the freestanding store & the counter that I go to that I'm partial to. None of them try to push products on me, which I appreciate. Plus they always demo stuff on me which is nice

aww thanks my ashley (ash and al are wifeys 4 life! lol, btw girl i keep carrying your shooting star in my purse!!lol). i NEVER push a sale on someone by kissing ass or saying thier my customers...heck no!. I really just bond with some cutomers alot like i know i would love to hang out outside of work, i only have about 4 and two of them are on here. latindoll and mac pixie for life!!! i just get to let real loose with these girls and they take my advice and i give them some too, its just a comfterable situation. It makes my day when these kinda customers come in. however it doesnt mean i treat other customers badly i give them the same alley i give my girls but some people click on another level.

Well if what you guys are saying is true, I can't wait to find "my MAC artist". I've had neutral or negative experiences with most MAC artists. I keep hearing this one girl named Nancy at Fashion Valley Store is awesome, I really want to meet her.

This is prolly gonna sound so awful but please don't take it personally ladies (this is ONLY from what I've experienced at the 2 counters I've been at and the most awesome 2 ppl thats EVER served me... )

But I personally like "my" gay guys or "inbetweeners" (if you get what I mean, between surgeries I guess... man I sound like a b *tch)

But From my experiences, gay guys can be much friendlier compared to the chicks I've been in contact with, the GGs get quite excited showing you products (esp. the new stuff) that makes you get excited along with them and make you laugh and really get into the products whereas I've had girls completely seemingly "uninterested" in what they're selling me, or what I'm looking at and just stand around waiting for me to hurry up, GGs help me, tell me exactly what would like nice and (sometimes a lil' bluntly) what is NOT going to work, again, some chicks just tell you anything to make a sale, ya know what I mean...

Thats why I prefer going to the Gay Guys. They're AWESOME!!!
Just girls, don't take it personally, I realise not every chick is like that, just most ones I've met.

I have three faves actually. Jack and Ashley at the Nordy's flagship store in downtown Seattle (Jack is amazing and I am seeing him tomorrow for the Danse event). And then there is Jenny the amazing manager of the MAC store at Hollywood and Highland in LA (Burbank). Between the three of them I have never missed an event or product that I was dying to have, have been talked out of some bad purchases and have had the most amazing makeup done. When I left I felt gorgeous. If it wasn't for Jack specifically I wouldn't have made it through my cancer treatments mentally still intact. Most days I felt less than human but after a few minutes talking with him while he worked his magic, I felt like a new person. And never once have I been pressured into a sale.

I Have 2, First I Met Hitomi She Is Very Nice, Everytime I Was In The Store She Was Saying Hi Claudia* (* Is My Real Name), And Then I Really Like Stephany She Is So Sweet And Very Nice As Well, I Think They Like Me Because I'm Not A Bitch Customer, Most Of The Times I Try To Go With My "mac Shopping List" Or For Example If She Has Another Customer That She Is Busy With, I Always Wait ... They Always Take Good Care Of Me =)

 

[noahlowryfan]

does MAs at freestanding and pro stores ever on commission?

 

[duckieXcouture]

I don't know any makeup artists, but my cousin Gina is a hair stylist. It's really awesome because she knows my hair type and gives me discounted cuts. Plus, I volunteer when she needs hair models. Free hair cuts!!!

I totally agree!! i got served by 2 GGs at Soho NYC freestanding, one got the stuff for me and the other rang up my stuff and my gosh they were sweet as anything and honestly the nicest MAs i've encounted, ok i havent met bitchy ones yet but GGs are so cool, at least they actually care about MAC

They have business cards at the counter. Next time you are in, ask her to write her name on one.

even at the Macy's Macs? I def. need to do that then!
