I asked a few questions about make up for older skin (I'll be 58 in June) and she ended up basically giving me a makeover. I ended up buying several products as they were light and didn't settle in my creases . Very helpful having someone who understands mature skin assist me! I just hope I can replicate her work!

I guess it's a little reminder of why I don't spend my money there family dollar is a much nicer place to spend your money and a min more up the road !! never again !! I will highly suggest to friends and family to always shop at another store but this one

I really do love WeeCycle!…read more I feel their prices are very reasonable!!! I found an adorable pair of baby Adidas shoes in like new condition for around $5. I don't think I've ever paid more than $9 for a pair of shoes. And I know I've always found a pair of shoes that I 'had to have' for the baby (now that I'm done with my shoe fetish that I am possibly passing down to my 19-month-old son)... Their clothes always seem to be in great condition. I don't remember how much I spent on an average outfit, but I know I've never found anything in there I didn't think was a fair price. I've even found brand new outfits there, with the tags still on, for thrift store prices. They have a great selection of adorable clothes, as well. I honestly drive over 40 miles to come to this store, that's how good it is. And FYI: They have a FaceBook account that you can friend and they give a 'word of the day' which gives you prizes that range from new items to gift cards. Everyone there is friendly, helpful, smiling, and seems to love their job. And that makes all the difference (especially if you've read my review on The Monkey Cage.)

They had a market with additional outside local vendors so we wanted to check it out. I noticed I'd…read morebeen here before a while back on one of my last Gainesville visits. It's cool with the additional market. Lots of indie type vendors and a good space along with tables and chairs too for hanging out and eating. The Auk Market also has a bar in the back of it which is pretty cool and retro modern like. Here they have fun little vintage funky items and cool stuff for gifts or yourself. It's a cool spot and they do have markets often. So def check them out!

We walked in and the woman at the desk gave us a dirty look. I can't stand walking into a business…read morethat has an attitude as soon as you walk in the door. To be honest with you I thought this was an antique shop because that's how it showed up when I was looking for shops in the area. I'm not really sure what this shop is but my husband said it stunk so bad he had to leave. I don't usually give one stars, but I really could not give them any business because there wasn't even anything in there that I wanted to touch.

I enjoyed my first visit to Shirt Shack this summer! I am not from the area, and was visiting for…read morethe week. I was told that this store is relatively new to the area by some locals. Everything appeared new and clean, both inside and out. It is located off of SR 45, and has a sizable, private parking lot that is easy to get in and out of. When we stopped, it was not too crowded but there were some others shopping around. It was a Thursday in July, around mid-morning. This store is huge! They have an incredible selection of boots and various western wear brands for men, women, and children. You could definitely spend an hour or two in here just looking around at all of the different shirts, jackets, pants, accessories, and shoes that are available. There were a lot of brands that are popular for sale - Columbia, Wrangler, Local Boy, Judy Blue, Stanley, and so many more. We ended up purchasing a few shirts, and I thought the prices were fair here. It seemed like they run various specials and sales, as well as having a healthy sale/clearance section. The staff were all friendly, and they had several people working and active on the floor. They were willing to help with anything and answer questions as asked. I would recommend giving this place a stop if you find yourself in the area. Selection is great, and they have some extended sizing on items as well. You really can shop for the entire family here. Will definitely be back on my next trip to the area!

I love this place and am glad there's another thrift store in the neighborhood. They've got a great…read moreselection of used clothes and accessories. They have household stuff but didn't have time to browse. Part of the 5-star rating also has to do with their dressing room - it is literally a room! I did not feel crammed in a cubicle. The downside is there is only one so you can't lounge or anything because it's always in demand.
