She listens to what you're looking for and does her best to ensure you're 100% satisfied. If fern doesn't make you satisfied, I've always known her to refund..... Was that true of your experience, Trish? Did you receive a refund? I'd be appalled if that wasn't the case....... Fern is honest and values the talented work she does(as she should). I would recommend her to ANYONE!

July is the month that lavender is in full bloom, and the month that I seek to visit many of the…read morelavender farms throughout the Gorge! A friend told me about Bates Lavender Farm, which I had never heard of, surprisingly, since I'm in the Gorge all the time. Located in Corbett, it's just 30 minutes from Portland and a breathtaking ride. On a bright blue sky day, the purple lavender and surrounding lush green forest, makes for a picture perfect afternoon. The scent is intoxicating, and the hum of the bees doing their pollinating, provides a zen like background buzz. As most of these farms do, Bates sells products made from lavender. They have the largest assortment of products of any farm I visited thus far. They have soaps, essential oils, hand cream, scented room spritzers, lip balm, bath oil, sachets, a grinder of lavender infused salt (get this) and honey, too! The variety of soaps is both creative and impressive. Not just the requisite lavender, they offer lavender lemon, rosemary lavender (fabulous), lilac lavender, lavender-aloe-avocado, rose lavender, mountain mint, citrus, vanilla lavender, and my favorite, lemongrass basil. The spritz comes in similar fragrances. These make wonderful gifts for teachers, friends, hostess gifts - or for yourself! The owners are lovely, the fields beautiful, and you can make a day of it by stopping at The Women's Forum to take in the best view of Crown Point and the magnificent Columbia River. Continue up to Larch Mountain. Go chase the waterfalls along the Old Historic Highway . Options are endless. Just go! Check website for dates.

Everything is organized by types and themes. If you can't find something, they can help you. They sell many White Barn items....from hand soaps and candles.

They have a selected men's care to choose from. A lot of their items is very neutral and not too strong. Lots of parking here. I recommend not parking in the front of the store. It gets awfully busy in the front.

I thought there wouldn't be much to select from but I was wrong! Everything was stocked and they kept restocking while I was there.

The store is super clean and organized! Everything looked perfect. Even my 6yr old daughter said it was one of her favorite places. Highly recommend this location!

Came in to get some help for the fret buzz on my new beginner bass from amazon. Help was offered as…read moresoon as I walked in the door and the employee immediately got to work after quickly diagnosing the issue. He told me it wouldn't be perfect since it is a very affordable bass and that I could purchase a full set up, but that it'd probably be a better investment to put that cost toward an instrument upgrade down the line instead. After a few minutes of adjustments, I was offered a cable to hook up to one of the in store amps to try it out. SO much of an improvement! I wasn't even charged for the service. I wanted to look at gig bags afterward but noticed they seemed to all be in an employee only area. A staff member almost immediately noticed me and showed me their options. When I said I'd do some more shopping around and would keep theirs in mind, there was absolutely 0 pressure to try to make a sale. The customer service was fantastic and felt very genuine--no pushing to make a sale or upsell something I didn't really need. Especially as a beginner who wouldn't necessarily know better, it's so valuable to feel like the person helping you actually cares about your best interest as opposed to just making a sale. Super happy with my experience and I'll definitely be back in the future for any of my musical needs!

It was so bad I just replaced the tub. They destroyed my tub by grinding g at it and then the finish they sprayed on was covered in dust nibs. My photos will show you all you need to see. They charged me $795 for this and gave zero explanation or apologies, they did say they would charge $450 more dollars to fix what they created , I was shocked at how terrible the work was and the customer service afterward was pathetic. I fired them and made them refund my money. I should have made them pay to replace my tub.
