LATHER

Awesome place! Ladies were very helpful but not pushy. They are very Ecco friendly and have a wide variety of products. I wanted everything in the store. I bought a few things, and she gave me a handful of samples in which I love!!! I will definitely be back!

I’m always looking for places that use more natural ingredients or essential oils in their products. I stopped by this place for the first time a few days ago. I like an environment where I don’t feel pressured to buy anything, and that’s definitely not how I felt here. The girl who was helping me showed me all the different products. I really liked one of the scrubs, but I was not expecting to spend that much money my first time in. So I went with some olive oil soap and a muscle ease cream. A few days later I went to return the muscle cream, simply because I had changed my mind, still completely sealed. I was told that there was nothing they could do. That they don’t do returns. When I asked where it said that, she proceeded to look at my receipt and say that it’s «usually» on the bottom but that the sign behind the register says they don’t. Really? Completely upset, I contacted customer service, it’s been a few days, and they still haven’t gotten back to me. I probably will not be returning to Lather. I gave them two stars because their products are really nice, but it’s not worth the terrible customer service. I’ll be sticking to shopping at my usual place for these kinds of products.

Lather has such great products. I love how everything in the store is color coded for face, body, feet etc. Outstanding customer service today from Lajoy. I bought the coconut crème body whip which I love.

Great place to buy natural products. I love their soaps, candles, and oils! I create my own scented oils. They’re nice to have on hand just in case you-​know-​who needs a good massage after a long day of work/​play! ;-) They’re good to add to the bath water as well.
The saleslady is great and very knowledgable of their products. This last visit, she inadvertently charged me for a product that I didn’t purchase. I didn’t know this and probably never would have found out, as I don’t look at my receipts when I get home. I was texting as I was leaving the store and the saleslady stopped me and asked to see my bag. Unknowing where this was going, I handed it to her. She opened the bag, took out the receipt, glanced at the receipt, and quickly told me what she’d done. (That just touched my little olé heart…) She apologized repeatedly for her error. No big deal, the world still turns… Too, she loaded my bag with samples!!!
I’ll be back. :-D

I love this place! I have been going here for awhile now. The store is always so clean and in order. Testers (and a sink) are available for every product so you know exactly what you’re buying. Staff is always friendly and willing to help. They give you samples with every purchase so it’s great to go home with something new to try out. I hope they do another Groupon deal because that was amazing, 50% off! Thanks for your amazing products, Lather!

I had already visited a couple of times before (last week and three weeks, or more prior) to check out the store, the products sold there, and the customer service and came in today to use an expiring Groupon I’d purchased three months ago. I am pleased to report that while staff members are quick to welcome guests and offer assistance, they know to leave you alone if you «just want to look.» The reps I’d met yesterday and on the first visit knew much about their products, and even if they didn’t, I had the feeling they’d go to great lengths to find out. I can’t say the same about my second visit, unfortunately, but it was late in the day, fifteen minutes to closing time as a matter of fact, so I didn’t mind, since I knew that all of the info I sought was online. On the other hand, if I wasn’t lucky to have internet access and/​or reside nearby, I don’t know if I’d have cared to return again had I not purchased a Groupon, especially after noting that the rep wasn’t inspired enough to look for the info either from printed or online databases, irregardless of the time of day. I found Ashley to be very helpful during today’s visit.
I really like that MOST of the products sold here are parabens-​free and MOST of the cleansing products are sulfates-​free. I find that I am not able to sample many of the products offered here due to food allergies**, but it’s refreshing to find more and more businesses that strive to offer products using natural ingredients– sometimes even organic! Not only does Lather strive to help people who are looking for natural alternatives in facial, body, hair, and aromatherapy products, but it also gives back to the environment (by packaging their products in containers made from recycled materials, by offering 10% off purchases to customers returning Lather recyclables, and by purchasing carbon off-​sets) and to charities by partnering with and contributing to the following three organizations:

. BTW, do you know that Lather only has three locations in the U.S. (CA, GA, and AZ), and that its products can be found in upscale hotels, such as Las Vegas’ Borgata and Wynn, and Canyon Ranch? Granted, I’ve never been to any of these hotels, but I know of their reputation, so I’m impressed to hear and read that these hotels endorse Lather products.
I like the slatted wood soap dish I found here, as it prevents water puddles from forming, thereby extending the life of my exfoliating lavender soap. If you use delicate glycerine– and olive oil-​based soaps, you may find this dish a nice investment, as well. I hope to update my review in a few months’ time (maybe sooner) to write about my experiences with the products I’d bought today, specifically the Vitamin C Peptide Renewal and the Shine Control Face Lotion.
**I realized many years ago that those skin rashes and breakouts I’d get from time-​to-​time were allergic reactions to specific natural ingredients, such as carrot, avocado, corn, rice, and any orange variety, be it orange, bergamot, tangerine, neroli, and so on, to name a few. (I’m still experimenting with sweet almond oil… I’m thinking it’s more of an intolerance, since I am able to tolerate hand and body products, but not facial. Now that I know which ingredients to avoid, I rarely experience breakouts and rashes. If only I could stay away from them when I dine out!

I have been a loyal Lather fan for a couple years now and will continue to be for life! The store is open and very clean and the service is top notch. They are so helpful yet unobtrusive which is a rare find for a beauty store.
The products are truly fantastic. They strive to use natural ingredients when possible and everything is such a great value for what you get. The best part if you are unsure, ask for a sample and they will send you home with anything to try out. My must haves from this place include:
” foaming bamboo lemongrass scrub will knock your sucks off. Hands down best scrub I have ever had
” vitamin c peptide serum is super luxurious and perfect for daily use
” 10 minute brightening glycolic mask will refresh and renew your dull skin
” white clay facial mask is perfect for sucking grime out of your pores
” eucalyptus foaming foot scrub with ground up pumice stone will scrub anything off and clean\soften your feet
” almond shave cream is amazing
TIP… Ask to try all scrubs at the sink… what a great treat while shopping!

Came here with my half off Groupon and left with enough goodies to «lather» my skin to survive another likely wretchedly miserable summer. I love the aromatherapy oil bar. I splurged on some pure Bavarian rose lotion and a roll on applicator of eucalyptus oil for those days I feel the need for an afternoon pick me up of minty stress relieving fragrance or something to drive away an oncoming migraine.
The prices of the oils are per drop, so depending on your aroma and what method you’d prefer to employ e.g., lotion, body soap, massage oil the overall price will vary. I also came away with the honey moisture mask and sweet almond moisturizer which I’m looking forward to indulging in during bath time or while at the jacuzzi. And next time for refills you can get 10% off if you bring back your own bottles!

This was a great discovery thanks to Living Social. I got a great deal for becoming a member so I got a $ 50 of merchandise for $ 20 net. I was ready for discovery and am glad I ventured out. The location is out there, but its in Kierland commons so its worth the drive. The store is very clean but doesnt have that overly clean hospital feeling. It also does not stink like some of these line of stores do where there is so much smell where you feel like you have to wipe it from your clothes. The sales associate was very helpful and friendly but not clingy. I had my list of items I found from the website and they carried them all. The items I did smell were wonderful, everything smelled real and not full of chemicals. I stopped before I did too much damage to my wallet and asked for some shampoo and conditioner samples. It was not a problem, the sales associate was more than willing and put me on the mailing list for coupons. I purchased avocado mint hair repair which looks wonderful, the ten minute brightening mask with glycolic acid, the almond shave crème and muscle ease. All products use natural ingredients and the other thing I noticed is the containers are not overly flashy. The product says it and no pictures are needed. I can’t wait to come back and try the mint hair wash and conditioning crème.

I love this store for years now. I discovered it here.
The candles are wonderful. I love the little travel sampler kit.
The yuzu bergamot moisturizer is great.
I enjoy the soaps.

Why yes you just read my Stocking stuffers for myself that I just sent my husband. hehe: D
Worth trying. You will find a favorite.
Quality of their ingredients from their website:
«…using only pure essential oils, vitamins and antioxidants, and rare fruits and herbs — and never using synthetic fragrances or colors. Now, we’re also sourcing organic ingredients when possible, and are on track to have all of our products be paraben-​free and SLS/​ALS-​free by mid-​2010. «
Service: She was very nice and was even happier when she saw I was a little shop happy when I started putting everything on the counter. hehe.
From St. Louis and loved it!
TLDR: The products are a favorite of mine. Good products and good service at this location. Great outdoor mall.

My most recent two experiences here have been five star material.
Props to La Joy who introduced me to one of the new products that wasn’t even in store yet, «facial polishing powder» & to her for giving a courtesy phone reminder that my items were available for pick-​up. Kudos to the other staff ~ no one had hastily put my items back on the shelf when I was four days past scheduled pick-​up, plus, the salesperson knew right where to look for my items. I love no-​hassle.
And ~ thanks to Lather for creating a product like «muscle ease» which is an amazingly effective muscle pain reliever sans the painful odor! (Please redesign the lid though ~ why so diff to screw back on?)
If there’s a manly man in your life who’d rather not admit that he uses specialty bath products, well… I know a guy who knows a guy who swears by the «bamboo lemongrass scrub.»
OH, PS — be green & get 10% off next purchase (when you bring back in your packaging or the bag from the store)

Not bad. Kind of high priced, but the products are pretty good.
I was looking for a good body scrub and picked the peppermint scrub. It is VERY gentle, probably good for the face if you have sensitive skin.
The best product I found was the foot scrub with pumice granules. It is the bomb! Especially for AZ summer weather, it is extremely effective for dry skin on the feet. I use it every other day and it works wonders, I HIGHLY recommend it!

A hotel stay a few years back introduced me to Lather… imagine my surprise to actually discover a store.
I picked up a great baby gift and several of their candles as well.
I love their candles. I gave a few as gifts which were enjoyed and I love my lavender one. I also bought a lavender oatmeal bar of soap that I loved as well! Definitely a place I would frequent and recommend.
They said if you bring in you prior bag or container for recycling you get a small discount. bonus!

Walked past this store dzns of times & never went in! Not sure why, but glad i finally did!
We were greeted immediately and in a nice & unobstrusive way. We were given a few samples, and it was pretty clear i was not going to make a purchase this time since all the products were new & different to me, I was just gettting educated :-)
This didn’t hinder the salesperson, who still gave me some cupons, samples & a full bar of rosemarry soap!
The sample ended up making me go back 2 days later, as the shave cream was the best shave hubby ever encountered! I purchased and entire shave kit with lots of goodies, more samples, and the sales girl threw in a bamboo soap dish (bonus!).
I’ll be back to ck out more products after i finish using up my arsenal already in my possesion!

The Lather boutique in Kierland Commons is a place where nature meets nurture. As soon as you set foot in this store, you’re hit with a calm simplicity that manifests in their skin and body products, packaging and atmosphere. On the many occasions that I’ve dropped by this store, the sales people have always been welcoming albeit a bit too enthusiastic on occasion to help. But they back off and let you quietly trip through the store, sniffing here and sampling there. At the back of the store is a sink where you can sample their scrubs and soaps. Their body care kits and candles make great gifts and as far as must-​have items, Lather’s yuzu and bamboo body washes, scrubs and lotions are classic hits. If you have sensitive skin, their skincare lines are gentle and nature-​based. You usually will get a few samples with purchase (if you don’t, just ask!). The store is tucked at the far end of the shopping center near Tommy Bahama’s and Anne Taylor Loft. Let your nose point you in the right direction!
