I don't think it's even possible to explain how absolutely amazing this store & its employees are. I am actually writing this review as I am walking back to my car with multiple Akira shopping bags in hand!
I walked into Akira as a first time customer in a bit of a panic after being told by my fiancé this morning that his huge holiday party at work is THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Ugh. Right upon walking in I was greeted by Shaina who asked me if I needed help finding anything.. And oh boy I needed help! She was sweet, attentive and overall wonderful. She brought me dress after dress and really listened to my feedback until we narrowed it down to 3 different dresses (all of which I ended up purchasing)- one of them was unavailable in this store in my size. Shaina quickly tracked down the last one in a size small for me in a store nearby and had them hold it for me. I was so happy bc I'm love with the dress!
I ended up staying and shopping for over TWO HOURS haha and when Shaina had to leave to visit another store another amazing employee, Sparkle, took over for her and helped me find a bunch of other pieces that I really love! She listened to me explain my style and what I was looking for and brought me items that were exactly my style as well as some that were a little different and I'm so happy she did bc I got some beautiful items that I never would have tried on if she hadn't suggested them. Thank you, Sparkle!
Then when I was checking out, Vanessa the cashier had the patience of a saint as I went through my 20+ items and she made sure that I got all of my discounts with their awesome buy one get one 50% off sale. I was all over the place and my dog kept jumping out of my bag but she (as well as all the other employees) were so sweet and accommodating.
In closing, I just want to say that the fantastic employees at this store really made my shopping experience so much easier and ultimately successful bc they were so warm, welcoming and they are really just GREAT at their job. Thank you so much, guys! You'll be seeing me (& my puppy who absolutely loves all of you) again really soon!
I highly recommend stopping by this store to shop for ANYTHING! It's the best! read more
