Shopping at Sephora at Kohl's in Summerville

What you'll find at Sephora inside Kohl's Summerville

Sephora at Kohl's is a beauty counter located inside the Kohl's department store in Summerville, carrying makeup, skincare, fragrance, and tools from dozens of brands. You don't need a Kohl's card to shop there, and the selection mirrors what you'd find in a standalone Sephora—foundations, eyeshadows, mascaras, serums, cleansers, perfumes, and brushes sit alongside lesser-known indie brands and established names like MAC, Urban Decay, Fenty Beauty, and Drunk Elephant.

The counter operates during Kohl's store hours, which typically run 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, with slightly shorter Sunday hours. Staff at the counter can answer questions about products, help you find a shade match, and demonstrate application techniques. Unlike some beauty retailers, Sephora at Kohl's does not require a membership to shop, though Kohl's offers its own rewards program if you want to earn points on purchases.

Location and hours in Summerville

The Sephora counter sits inside the Kohl's at 1265 Summerville Commons Drive, in the Summerville Commons shopping center near downtown Summerville. The store is easy to find from Highway 17 and has ample parking. Once inside Kohl's, the Sephora section occupies a dedicated counter area near the front of the store, clearly marked and separate from the rest of the cosmetics department.

Kohl's typically opens at 10 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday, closing at 9 p.m. most weekdays and Saturdays, with 8 p.m. closing on Sundays. Hours can shift during holidays or sales events, so calling ahead at the Kohl's main number or checking the Kohl's website before a special trip is wise if you're traveling from outside Summerville.

Brands and product categories available

Sephora at Kohl's carries over 100 brands across all major beauty categories. Makeup includes foundations, concealers, eyeshadows, mascaras, lipsticks, and blushes from brands like MAC, Urban Decay, Tarte, Benefit, and Fenty Beauty. Skincare ranges from drugstore-priced cleansers and moisturizers to prestige serums and masks from lines like Drunk Elephant, Clinique, and Olay. Fragrance options span designer perfumes and colognes, and the tools section includes brushes, sponges, and applicators.

The selection leans toward mainstream and prestige brands rather than ultra-luxury or niche indie lines, though you will find emerging brands alongside established names. If you're looking for a specific product, calling the counter ahead of time can save a trip—staff can tell you whether an item is in stock or suggest a similar alternative.

How to pay and earn rewards

Sephora at Kohl's accepts all major credit cards, debit cards, and cash. You do not need a Kohl's card to make a purchase. However, if you have a Kohl's card or sign up for one at checkout, you earn Kohl's Cash on your Sephora purchase—typically 5 to 10 percent back depending on current promotions. Kohl's Cash can be used on future purchases at Kohl's or Sephora at Kohl's.

Sephora's own loyalty program, Sephora Beauty Insider, does not operate at Sephora at Kohl's locations. If you're a Sephora Beauty Insider member, your points and status do not transfer to this counter. You earn rewards through Kohl's instead, making it worth asking about current Kohl's promotions when you visit.

Returns and exchanges

Products purchased at Sephora at Kohl's follow Kohl's return policy: most items can be returned or exchanged within 60 days with a receipt. Opened or used products are generally accepted, though Kohl's reserves the right to refuse returns on items that appear unsanitary or heavily used. If you don't have your receipt, Kohl's can often look up your purchase if you paid with a card.

Fragrance, which is final sale at many retailers, can typically be returned at Sephora at Kohl's if unopened. If you're unsure about a product before buying, ask the staff whether it can be returned if you change your mind—most beauty items at this location are returnable, which is more generous than some standalone Sephora stores.

Getting help from staff and shade matching

The Sephora counter at Kohl's Summerville employs beauty consultants who can help you find products, answer questions about ingredients or formulations, and match you to a foundation shade. Consultants can also demonstrate application techniques and suggest products based on your skin type or concerns. During busy shopping hours, wait times can be longer, so arriving earlier in the day or on weekday mornings often means shorter lines.

If you want a more in-depth consultation—such as a full makeup look for an event—let staff know when you arrive. They may be able to set aside time or suggest when to return when the counter is less busy. Many consultants are knowledgeable about product ranges and can steer you toward options that fit your budget and preferences.

Parking and nearby shopping

Summerville Commons has dedicated parking directly in front of the Kohl's, and the lot is rarely crowded. The shopping center also houses other retailers and restaurants, so you can combine a Sephora visit with other errands. Downtown Summerville is just a few minutes away if you want to explore local shops, galleries, or dining after shopping for beauty products.

The location is convenient for residents of Summerville and nearby areas like Goose Creek and Moncks Corner. If you're traveling from Charleston, the drive is about 30 minutes via Highway 17, making it accessible for a day trip focused on shopping or exploring Summerville's downtown district.
