Shopping at Sephora Inside Kohl's Stores Across South Carolina

What Sephora at Kohl's offers and where to find it

Sephora at Kohl's is a beauty counter operated by Sephora inside select Kohl's department stores. You shop for makeup, skincare, fragrance, and tools in a dedicated section of the Kohl's store rather than visiting a standalone Sephora location. South Carolina has Sephora at Kohl's counters in multiple cities, including Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach, though not every Kohl's location carries one.

The counter stocks the same brands you would find at a standalone Sephora—including Sephora's own line, plus brands like Fenty Beauty, MAC, Urban Decay, Drunk Elephant, and Nars. You can browse, test products, and make purchases during Kohl's store hours. Staff at the counter can answer questions about products and help you find what you need, though the level of service varies by location and how busy the counter is.

How rewards and payment work at Sephora at Kohl's

When you shop at Sephora at Kohl's, you earn Kohl's Cash on your purchase—typically $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent, though promotions change. You do not earn Sephora Beauty Insider points at Sephora at Kohl's locations. If you have a Kohl's credit card, you may earn additional rewards depending on current promotions.

You can pay with any major credit card, debit card, or Kohl's gift card. Kohl's also accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay at most locations. If you have a Kohl's charge card, you can use it to make purchases and build your rewards balance. The Kohl's app lets you check your Kohl's Cash balance and view current promotions before you visit.

Finding a Sephora at Kohl's near you in South Carolina

The Kohl's website has a store locator that shows which locations have a Sephora counter. Go to Kohl's.com, click "Store Locator," enter your city or zip code, and look for the Sephora icon next to participating stores. You can also call the Kohl's store directly to confirm they have a Sephora counter and ask about current hours or product availability.

Major South Carolina cities with Kohl's locations—including Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head—typically have at least one store with a Sephora counter, but availability changes. If the nearest Sephora at Kohl's is far from you, you can also order online at Sephora.com or visit a standalone Sephora location if one is nearby.

Returns and exchanges at Sephora at Kohl's

Sephora at Kohl's follows Kohl's return policy, not Sephora's standalone policy. You can return or exchange most beauty products within 60 days of purchase with your receipt. Items must be unused and in original packaging. Some products—particularly those that are opened, used, or damaged—may not be returnable.

Bring your receipt and the product to the Sephora counter or the main Kohl's customer service desk. If you do not have your receipt, Kohl's can look up your purchase if you paid with a Kohl's card or provided your phone number at checkout. Online purchases made through Kohl's can be returned by mail or at a store, depending on the item.

Product selection and testing at the counter

Sephora at Kohl's carries a curated selection of beauty brands rather than the full range you would find at a standalone Sephora. The counter typically stocks popular items and bestsellers, but you may not find every shade, size, or specialty product. Inventory varies by location and restocks on a regular schedule.

You can test most makeup and skincare products at the counter before buying. Staff can apply samples to your skin or hand so you can see how a foundation shade matches or how a lipstick looks on you. If you want to try a product but the counter is busy, you can ask for a sample packet to take home—availability of samples depends on the product and the store's stock.

Online ordering and in-store pickup

You can order beauty products online at Kohl's.com and pick them up at a Sephora at Kohl's location near you, usually within one to two business days. This option works well if you know exactly what you want and want to avoid shipping costs. Orders placed online through Kohl's are subject to Kohl's policies, not Sephora's.

Some items may not be available for in-store pickup if they are out of stock locally. The Kohl's website will show you which items can be picked up at your chosen store and which must be shipped. You can also order online and have items shipped to your home, with standard shipping typically taking five to seven business days.

Differences between Sephora at Kohl's and standalone Sephora

The main differences come down to rewards, selection, and policies. At Sephora at Kohl's, you earn Kohl's Cash instead of Sephora Beauty Insider points. The product selection is smaller—you get popular brands and bestsellers but not the full range of every brand. Returns follow Kohl's policy (60 days) rather than Sephora's (typically 60 days with receipt, but varies by product type).

Standalone Sephora locations offer more brands, more shades and sizes, and Sephora Beauty Insider rewards that you can use at any Sephora. If you are a frequent beauty shopper and want to build Sephora points, a standalone location may be worth the trip. If you shop at Kohl's anyway and want to grab beauty items while you are there, Sephora at Kohl's is convenient and lets you combine your shopping trip.
