Incredible experience, as I entered Michelle's yesterday, to only see what there was to offer, as I…read morehad not been there in over 10 years; I did not plan to purchase anything. And my spontaneously visiting the South Bay, I wanted to see Dino and/or sons next door at Paisano's. With the immediate positive greeting from Michelle's salesperson, Joy, I felt so welcome. And looking around, I would have gotten "in trouble" with my credit card if I had been at Saks Fifth Avenue or the like. The dresses, the jewelry, the beautiful and unique cow print skirts... wow. And my boyfriend had not yet gifted me a Christmas present. Opportunity. With the help of Joy, we took photos, and that helped me "sell" my boyfriend. Joy and I really had fun, taking photos, deciding on which shawls, what jewelry - what really "meshed" with my wardrobe and current jewelry. texted photos to my boyfriend. He quickly agreed that these would be "his" Christmas gift to me. The best thing? I honestly did not get into as much trouble (money-wise) as the prices were reasonable - and there was a special. The shawl, the earrings, the bracelets (that match my newly purchased jewelry in Morocco) AND the perfect gray cowboy hat, that salesperson Joy strongly recommended, were perfect in my wardrobe. The neatest part? I wore all of, every purchased item this afternoon, the shawl, the jewelry (bracelets and earrings), the gray cowboy hat -  and received 3 compliments from strangers. Thank you so much, as I hope to purchase the "heart" silver bracelet if it might be fixed, allowing stronger magnetism.  I am so impressed with the salesperson AND the quality of the jewelry and clothes. Thank you for my belated Christmas gifts!

Several weeks ago I was on my way to San Diego and stopped at Javaman for some coffee before the…read morelong road trip. Upon getting out of my car at Javaman I saw this store 'Wicked.' I looked in the window and saw bikes, skateboards, clothing, iced tea, and ecofriendly attachments for your Iphone. I looked deeper into the store and observed a very cool shirt which had a multicolored fish next to a multicolored fish surfboard and thought it was worth me coming back when the store was open to check out exactly what this store had to offer. Yesterday (11-23-2012) I found myself again at Javaman and this time 'Wicked' was open. I walked in and observed all of their clothing to be preshrunk organic cotton. I asked the gentleman behind the cash register if they still had the shirt I was looking at several weeks ago, he said they did but the only size left was a medium and I needed a large. I still tried on the shirt in the bathroom / changing room and discovered it to just be a little too small and with a price tag of $39.00 a shirt has got to fit me perfect for me to invest that much coin on a shirt. The cashier said the shirt I wanted was out of stock and they could not order anymore which was a disappointment but quite honestly I am not sure I would have paid $39.00 for a t-shirt even if they had my size. I walked around the store and checked out several other items they had to offer from books on surfing, to ecofriendly shoes & sandals, I did not find anything that I felt the urge to buy. I thanked the cashier for his time and left. This store is located right next to Javaman & a Jiu-Jitsu studio on Pier. The store itself is quite small and too darn close to the beach to be finding any kind of discount. I hope more stores like this pop up here & there but this close to the water you are paying for the overhead to keep the lights on and I have to give this place a pass. I might be back if I am at Javaman and looking to kill time but other than those circumstances chances are this was the first & last time I walk in the door. With saying the above, if you are Xmas shopping for that Ecofriendly person this might be a spot you want to check out they have it all and when I mean it all, I mean IT ALL. I am giving this place 4 Stars instead of 3 because they are a local business that is Ecofriendly, if this review was solely based on the prices it would be 3 stars.

She did the transaction all the while being short, rude and insensitive and having no concern for my questions concerning what I wanted to buy. I wish I didn't have to purchase something there but it was last minute and I really did not have a choice. Over priced ....of course. It's because of the location. Yet, I would have left at least a little happier and pleased if the sales lady was in the least bit friendly or concerned. I will never go there again if she is working there. Blond with glasses. A real self absorbed ?&:!;!;!:! who doesn't know when to separate business from personal issues.
