Not sure why reviews are so mixed for this location; I had great experiences the last few times…read moreI've been in. This 5 stars is specifically for Vi, who did my makeup for me before my engagement portraits. She did a great job finding more subtle/natural shades since I don't usually wear a ton of makeup. She was also fun to chat with! I let her make the decisions about how heavy to go on makeup, since I knew I'd be slightly uncomfortable with a lot on... but if you're doing portraits, you look much better from far back with professional makeup so your eyes pop, etc. I didn't feel pushed to purchase any products but I ended up spending $150 on them because I love the shades she matched to me, and the liquid blush from the Selena Gomez brand. She also (with very little direction from me, other than "not gloss") picked a beautiful shade of matte lipstick that she said is commonly used for bridal looks. Finally, I noticed Vi and the other makeup artist working next to her paying attention to when people walked in the door and greeting them, which I thought was nice. When I returned the next day to get some eyelash glue (since I wanted to reuse the eyelashes I bought), the line was long so a gentleman who worked there took me aside and checked me out via a mobile app. All in all -- very happy with customer service here.

Found everything pretty quickly with the help of staff. The line wasn't bad either and the store…read morewas very organized! One of my fastest shops ever!

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A FUN DATE NIGHT, BACHELORETTE ACTIVITY, BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, WORKPLACE…read moreOUTING, OR JUST A FUN ACTIVITY THIS IS A PHENOMENAL PLACE! I was informed that there was a recent change in management and honestly under the new manager we had 10/10 Service! I made a reservation for 3 for 12pm. The class was about 9 of us total. We came in a little late but Sammy and Morgan made us feel so welcome and really took the time to help each of us, as well as provided a fun environment. Sammy provided great recommendations for all of our candles scents to help us really be content with them! Morgan was speedy with helping provide us all the candle materials we needed and was also very engaging! The space was clean and they had lots of choices for scents and colors, Sammy and Morgan were also committed to making sure that you were happy with your candle. There were lots of different options and different prices but they take part of the pricing of the candles out from the deposit you make for the class. (Lowest candle price $27, highest $45) Located conveniently on Kings Street so while you wait for your AMAZING candle to set you're in the heart of Old Town Alexandria so you can explore and get some good food while you wait (approximately 3 hours of cool time) If you don't want to wait that day you can pick up your candles for up to 60 days after! My family and I decided we will be making this an annual outing! If you're the owner of this place, these girls deserve a raise!

My friend and I stopped in as a walk-in. We had to wait 15 minutes for the next class to start so…read morewe smelled scent options while we waited. They have mason jar, glass and ceramic options. Ceramic was $38, mason jar / glass was $25-$35 depending on size. You could customize the color and add up to 4 scents. The class was nice, there was music and instruction but also time to jus chat with your group. It took about 40 minutes. My class was at 4 and I came back at 6:30 to pick up my candle. It wasn't fully dry yet but they allowed me to pick it up so I didn't have to drive back later. Overall, I felt the experience was nice, maybe a little pricey but a fun experience!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience here shopping for (and purchasing) an engagement ring. I…read moreknew I wanted an antique ring and I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted from a lot of online shopping. We went to a more ritzy place in DC first, and while their rings were gorgeous,they were also way out of our price range, and the selection of antique rings was pretty small. So we popped in to The Antique Guild after I looked at their website. Mara, the owner, and her staff were so warm and welcoming. They took the time to listen to me about the style I was looking for, and showed me several rings in our price range. We ended up blowing the budget just a little when Mara showed us something that was just perfect! I'm so happy that we found such a beautiful ring, but also that I have such great memories of our experience purchasing it. I highly recommend The Antique Guild and will definitely be back. (If you're not looking for a ring, they have a beautiful and diverse selection of other antiques!)

This is an amazing store with great customer service and antiques. The two women at the counter are…read morealways professional and helpful with any questions that one might have. I appreciate their kindness and all they do. Please remember that 6 people are allowed in the store at one time because of the small space. This is an amazing store and have fun shopping.

One of my good friends from high school lives in Old Town and whenever I'm in DC we get together…read more(though it doesn't always work out with our schedules). I love stopping in at 3 Sisters (you guessed it, actually owned by three sisters). It's a two-level boutique of fashion for women that ranges from accessories to formal wear and everyday wear. The items they curate are stylish, timeless, and lovely. They've got something for everyone. The prices are incredibly affordable. I mean it's a boutique with a luxury feel in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the country and you can walk out paying the same prices you would at a big box place like TJ Maxx. The difference is that at 3 Sisters you're getting personalized service and higher quality items while supporting a local, women-owned business. Love, love, love.

Such a cute store with really great staple pieces. I noticed there seem to be a theme for colors…read moreand it was a lot of neutrals and browns and blacks and creams. If you're looking to add a couple staples to your wardrobe, but this would be a cute place to stop at if you happen to be in the area. The pricing was actually pretty reasonable. The were some items that were a little bit higher than I would have normally spent if I was purchasing anything. I also noticed their sizes did not really go past extra large. There may have been a stray XXL, but I don't really recall. So I'm not sure it's plus size friendly in the long run. When we walked in, we were not really greeted and nobody really helped us the entire time we were in the store walking around. It did not give me warm fuzzies.
