I was a little nervous/hesitant going into this, I've never really paid too much attention to my…read moreclothes. But my wife, who was a former client of Andrea's raved about the service and the results. And so I decided to give it a go, and I'm really glad that I did. Andrea is a joy to work with and a very cool human being. She is an expert at assessing the person, understanding their tastes and needs, and walking through the process. Great communication, too. The result is that I have a wardrobe that I really like (it feels like "me"), my wife thinks I look great and I'm getting complements at work. I also understand which colors are my friends and which to avoid. And for the first time, I would dare to say that I have adopted a sense of style. Only took 50 years :) Andrea is a pro, and what she offers is a true life upgrade. Do yourself a favor and give her a call. And this would be an extremely cool gift for your spouse or a friend in need of a little bit of "help". Thanks, Andrea. You're awesome.

Sydney was a dream to work with and helped me: -Purge clothes that were bad choices for my figure -Understand what looks good on me regarding fit, style -CREATED new outfits out of stuff I already had and would never have thought to wear together -Learn about new places to shop for both stretching your budget and for splurging -Save a ton of money by shopping with me and helping me buy the right things vs. things that would just later hang unworn in my closet Sydney is extremely talented and so gentle and kind to work with (critical attributes for someone who is watching you try on clothes!)

If you like to dress well, and your paying attention, there are still limits to your ability to…read morepick things out that represent you well. This is why you need an expert - to daringly try things out that you normally would not pull off the rack and try on. In my case, I can go for days buying suits, dress shirts, jeans, stuff I have been wearing for years but what about that other look? What about that cardigan? If you look like a fool, you want to know before you make the purchase. :-) However, if you look great, you have level'ed up and can't wait to wear it out. I highly recommend this service. It is like getting hit over the head with a "I-look-frickin-awesome-stick" You can spend the money with this service and look good, or you can go it alone and look average at best.

Laurel's system is brilliant, from the initial questionnaire to the closet consultation, and through the shopping session itself. I felt like she really understood my likes and dislikes, had a real sense of how much I wanted to change my look and what I wanted to retain. The only hard part was choosing from all the great stuff she picked out for me. I'm psyched to start wearing my new clothes - which is a feely I've rarely had before! I can't recommend Laurel highly enough. Thank you Laurel!!

The assignments she had me complete got me thinking critically (as in, analytically, not in a mean spirit...) about what I wear, well before our consultation. When she tackled my closet, I was surprised by the versatility of my existing, and fairly minimal, wardrobe. And while I was a little anxious about someone coming over and going through my clothes and style with a fine-tooth comb (kind of a personal thing!), Raquel was non-judgmental and enthusiastic; it was like having a friend over. Glad I did this, it was a great investment!

I've been going to this place long enough to write a fair review. First off, I will say this is my…read moreabsolute favorite Thrift store in Austin. There are so many thrift stores out there that I've gone to but this one by far is one of the best as far as clothing selections go. I always walk out with $30-70 worth of clothes and with that money I get so much especially on discounted items. Not to mention their used clothes are so well priced it honestly makes the experience more enjoyable. Now here are the cons. Their new with tags items are WAY over priced, some near retail. I know those are supposed to be more expensive ideally they should at least be half off not near retail price which defeats the purpose of buying them thrifted. Another thing, it's way too hot and stuffy in there. I've gotten used to it but they don't have AC only fans which doesn't do much only if you're in front of it. Other than that the pros outweigh the cons. The employees are cool, and honestly I typically spend like 3-4 hours there at most. I always look forward to coming here. Lastly, don't forget to bring cash because it's cash only!

The only reason that I'm giving it one star is because I can't give it no stars. This place is…read moreoverpriced and disorganized. They put staples in their clothes to attach the price tags. The worst part was how rude their customer service is. My 2.5 year old is deaf/hard of hearing and took off her hearing aid in the store. My husband put it in what he thought was our cart. When we realized he had misplaced her hearing aid, I went back inside to look for it. I asked one of the stockers to help and they ignored me. I then went to the front to ask for help and was told that I would need to look in the carts myself. I told the lady that my daughter needs the hearing aid to hear and they are very expensive but she blew me off again and told me to look myself. I then told her I had spent $60 in the store and that they were $12,000 and asked if she would please help me. She told me " not with that attitude I can't." She then forced me to take a breath and continued to berate me about my attitude after she had refused to help me. She finally did make an announcement and someone came forward with the hearing aid. I'll never go back to this store and would never recommend it to anyone.

I was in desperate need of updating my wardrobe and building a clothing repertoire appropriate for business settings. Melissa from Meld came over to my home, helped me review ALL my clothes, clean out my closet, put together complete outfits appropriate for different settings (work/nights out, etc.), took photos of the outfits, and then she went home and sent a list of clothing and accessories that I should consider purchasing to complete the outfits. Melissa is personable and respectful--there was never an awkward moment--and she was capable of understanding my own fashion sense and translating that to a wardrobe that worked in today's fashion trends. She also was careful not to go too trendy, which I appreciated. Highly recommend!
