They have really unique jewelry, clothing, accessories, and much more. The prices were very reasonable, too. Apparently they do readings, and I think crafts and things too. This place is great if you want something one of a kind! Even if you don't think it's your style, you might find some cool earrings, a fascinator, or even just hair clips.

Defienetly love the vibe and all the metaphysical goods. I'm also loving the new inventory! I always drop in for a gemstone or the dried herbs and teas they have!

The majority of stores were saved when they found a buyer for the company. Buried inside the Grossmont mall, this wasn't the easiest location to get to, but parking near Walmart and World Market seemed to work pretty well. Had a fun conversation talking to a couple of the employees one visit. And my last visit, the poor employees were dealing with a teenager that was having a hard time working up the courage to go through with the piercing that her Mom had paid for. I mean, we were all encouraging her but after a while I had to have one of the employees stop to ring up my purchase. So I don't know if she ever went through with it.

They had been there for about an hour before I got there and made friends with the employees. There were great deals happening already but we also got 50% off due to getting the piercing. All their little items are so cute and we were able to snag lots of things. We even saved more than we actually spent Here is what my daughter had to say: "This Claire's has some really great service and the employees are so nice. They were social and friendly and very welcoming! They were also very helpful from helping me not feel so nervous about piercing my ears to helping me find something that shared a birthday with me! The employees were Leslie and Ericka and they were so nice!! I really enjoyed being there and even though it's a small Claire's I stayed there for hours. We had some fun conversations and they helped explain things very well! They also stick to their words. We accidentally left our paper for the aftercare for the piercing I had gotten and she looked for us around the mall just to give us that paper!! Whenever I go to Claire's I'm definitely going to this one!!!" Needless to say, she had a great experience. Thanks for making our girl feel special Leslie & Ericka!

I was super impressed with Seamless boutique. I happened upon it when I was walking through the…read moremall with my 3 year old daughter. The shop is fairly small but has a great selection of vintage style dresses, shirts and tops. I loved that most of the items went up to 2x but a few items went up to 3x. The woman manning the store was super friendly and helpful. She shared that she actually makes the children's clothing sold in the store and was sitting there sewing before I walked in! The children's clothing had a ton of fun character patterns (mickey, star wars, etc.) They also had a fun selection of vintage inspired jewelry and sunglasses. I ended up purchasing a circle skirt dress for $55. It isn't lined but still appears to be if great quality. The styles were comparable to what you might find on modcloth, but about 20% cheaper. I will definitely be back!

Cutest store ever!…read more There's such a great selection of items! The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how good it smelled. Everything I smelled, smelled sooo good. Lots of candle, soap, and lotion options! Theres so many random things to name but all cute. To note, there is specifically a cute little pet section and baby section in the back! They have a wall of the cutest greeting cards. There's also cute dainty jewelry. There's also some La Mesa merch that I promised myself I would buy if my dream of owning a house in La Mesa ever comes true! Great times with great value, the pricing was very reasonable for everything! I was also immediately greeted by the cashier Darav. She was so sweet and I enjoyed our conversation. She was playing Taylor Swift (my favorite). She wrapped up all my items carefully and put it in a bag with ribbon. It was so cute and I can't wait to gift the items I bought! She also let me know if you join their loyalty program you get discounts when you spend a certain amount. It's easy to spend lots of money here because everything is so nice! I will definitely come back any time I need a gift or just want to buy myself something nice!

I was tempted to get it but I changed my mind due to the reason I am giving this store only three stars. The service was really bad. My girlfriends and I just had lunch together and decided to stroll down La Mesa Blvd and check out the little shops. We all (5 of us) walked in excited to check it out. We walked right past the register and the salesclerk behind it. No greeting. No eye contact. We browsed through the store and the whole time the sales lady was chatting with one man and two women at the register. My friends started leaving, but I moved back to the blouse that I liked. I thought about buying it but I couldn't bring myself to support this business Because if the bad customer service. Before waking out I wanted to strike up a conversation with the sales clerk to give her a chance to redeem herself. Now there was only one other person chatting with the sales clerk. They were talking in Spanish and when I asked how long they were in business, the older lady gave and answer and then looked away from Me and went right back to talking in Spanish to the clerk. I felt as if I was invisible! In a nutshell- cute clothes, bad customer service. I believe EVERY customer should be verbally greeted when they walk in and for sure at least some point during their visit. I don't think that's too much to ask. Another note-one friend did make a purchase. After we left she told us that she was given a plastic grocery type bag for her purchase while the chatting couple was given a cute handled bag. Weird.

Pam was SO helpful & kind, helping me find items but not pushy at all (perfect combo). I had no idea they make the gorgeous pieces they sell! The quality is amazing & prices are cheaper than similar (high quality) festival clothing online. I got a beautiful black lace skirt and beautiful matching top with long arms, and flowers on the black lace. Gorgeous and I can't wait to wear it! The items are one of a kind because they are made on site so you can really show off some beautiful statement, artistic pieces of clothing if you like that kind of thing, which I do! Their jewelry is beautiful... Looks exactly like items I saw on Etsy for five times the price! I can't wait to come here next year while before Coachella so I can get all my outfits here. It really is a hidden jam in San Diego! I'd highly recommend it for anyone going to costume parties or festivals!
