A&M Couture in Greenpoint has horrible customer service toward African Americans. I came in looking…read morefor a blue dress for my daughter's Sweet 16. When we first walked in, one of the girls pointed me to the blue dresses and never came back. The next thing I know, she's helping a Spanish family and completely ignored us. Thankfully, another young lady with glasses stepped in and was extremely sweet and helpful. If it wasn't for her, I would've left. I rented the dress that same day and paid $600. The day I came to pick up the dress, the lady behind the counter asked my best friend (who is 36) if she was the one trying on the dress because she "looked too big and old." How disrespectful and unprofessional. Then they gave me a bouquet with missing rhinestones. I didn't make a big deal about it, but I did ask them to note it, and I never once asked for a discount. They were rushing us out of the store and had already zipped the dress before we could fully look at everything. When we asked one of the workers -- the same girl who ignored me the first day -- to unzip the dress so we could compare the tiara and bouquet, she sucked her teeth and said something to her coworker in Spanish. I stayed quiet because I refused to let anyone ruin my daughter's special day. When I returned the dress, they spent forever inspecting the dress, tiara, and bouquet while speaking to each other in Spanish the entire time. Then they claimed there were two holes in the dress and took $40 from my deposit for "alterations" on tulle material that costs almost nothing to fix. I took my remaining $160 and left. I would never recommend this place to African Americans. The environment felt unwelcoming, disrespectful, and discriminatory from beginning to end.

For one, you actually have room to walk and think. There is no overcrowding, no yelling between store associates, and no funky smells that greet you at the door. The customer service was also spot on. While there isn't an abundance of inventory, Casey knows the items he does have in store. The outfits are quality pieces at reasonable prices. The store is clean and organized in such a way that makes it inviting to stay and browse. Casey also was not pushy in forcing a sale which made it very easy for my entourage and I to purchase multiple outfits and accessories. I'd recommend checking out Bombay Bridal if you need new Indian attire.

Visited charisol almost two years ago to try on some wedding dresses. I was pulled in by the raving…read morereviews and the fact that there was a bridal shop so close to home. I believe I was helped by someone named Kimberly. I was given a questionnaire to fill out and then she selected some dresses for me to try on. My friends and I were able to peruse the collection and find dresses as well. I wasn't sure which style would fit me the best so they were able to help me narrow it down. The bridal attendant was so patient and kind. She really knew which style would fit my body the best and from that visit I knew I wanted a dress that was very fitted and in an A line shape. My friends took a ton of photos so that was very helpful to see which looked good on me. I also tried on a lot of dresses. Fast forward almost two years later and it's my friend looking for a wedding dress. We arrive for an appointment and are met with someone named Vicky. She was ok, a little pushy and didn't really give me the same vibe that Kimberly did. There was a form again to be filled out but since the venue was not determined she suggested that it would be better to find a dress after. A nicer way to approach would have been to not state that at all because it felt like she shouldn't be trying on dresses to see which style fits the best. So currently they only allow 5 free dresses to be tried on. Anything more than that requires a payment of $20 for 5 more dresses. Also mentioned everywhere on the walls were no photography unless it's a say yes to the dress. Um, how are we suppose to help our friend see how she looked like in each dress? Also when I grabbed a dress to pick for her, Vicky snapped telling me to put it down and to listen to her. I didn't really feel so comfortable going around picking out dresses for her after that. At the end she stated that she also does makeup and is available for wedding services too. Overall, if I were the bride again and went through that type of customer service I wouldn't be too compelled to come back after all the new ways of the business.

NEGATIVE -----TEN STARS. BEWARE…read more Future brides, If you want a Drama-free wedding, I urge you to NOT make this your bridal shop. LOOK ELSEWHERE. There are PLENTY of bridal shops that will carry just the same brand and variety of gowns with BETTER staff, if not more. I purchased a wedding gown from Charisol Bridal and the store's own tailor had completed a hemming job on my dress on my sleeves and the bottom of the skirt. Dissatisfied with the job they had provided me with, I decided to pick up the dress from Charisol Bridal to have it looked at by another independent tailor. Upon trying the dress on at the new tailor's, I noticed the hemline at the bottom was uneven with a portion of it at the front shorter than the rest (SEE PHOTO). I also found a stain on the front of the dress even though I have not taken the dress out of the original bag until that time. I reached out to the manager at Charisol Bridal who told me that there is nothing she could offer to mend the issue rather than to "listen to [us]" over the phone. I asked for a better solution and the manager later called back offering two solutions for the problem: 1) provide me with the refund for the tailoring job, which is $450 OR 2) order an entirely new gown from the designer. I opted to get the full refund of $450 for the tailoring since the wedding was very close and I will be out of the country for a full month before then. The manager was made aware and had agreed to refund me a full amount of $450 + any cleaning fee for the stain. She proceeded to take my credit card number down for the refund which I provided. I was contacted the day after (today 4/12/19) by "Mike" from the shop (owner) saying that this is not their responsibility and that they have contacted the designer for a new dress. I was very upset and dissatisfied that 1) they did not offer me the refund that they had offered even after taking my credit card information over the phone 2) they have requested a new dress to be shipped from the designer fully aware that the bride will be unavailable and WITHOUT ASKING ME. At this time, I am left with a bill from my new tailor of $700 to undo all the previous tailoring done at Charisol Bridal and to tailor the dress all over again with Charisol Bridal Boutique refusing to refund me any money for the botched tailoring job they had done. UPDATE: just called the shop to make a quick visit at the shop to resolve the issue in person, my mom started the conversation pleasantly, then Mike the owner asked "What do you want for your wedding?" and when my mom began to answer, he cut her off constantly, infuriating my mother. My mom asked "why do you ask us what we want if you are not going to listen?" he replied "resolve this matter on YOUR OWN" really? my mom got upset, things got heated up and then he started accusing my mother of using INFORMAL KOREAN LANGUAGE. Done with even trying to put up with their refusal to admit to their own mistakes and failing to give us the refund they verbally agreed to (this is held against them by the Better Business Bureau). I have screenshots of all texts we have exchanged. Anyone, please feel free to contact regarding my experience.

I continue to swoon over their gorgeous, ethical, dreamy designs and cannot wait until my time comes to go here and create the dress of my dreams. This review is for a purchase I made for my sister in law prior to her 2021 wedding. She had to postpone their wedding due to Covid by a year, so I decided to cheekily purchase the "I f***ing do" crop top (she was a health care worker and beyond amazing waiting for her wedding day!) Unfortunately, even their 2021 wedding was impacted by another Covid surge and as such, we were unsure how much masking would be required. When I went to pick up the crop top, Marteal went out of her way to make a custom mask for my sister in law so she could have something to perfectly match her dress and simply through it in there free of charge as a token of gratitude for my SIL's line of work. Marteal and the entire Loulette team are just terrific. This review is long overdue, and I can't wait to come play dress up one day!
