But the bathing suit I tried on had a security tag with an exposed metal wire that attacked my arm. And then also an exposed / open safety pin that thankfully I avoided. Again, the girls were really nice (provided a wet paper towel and neosporin - no bandaids though) and apologetic but good service is not worth a potentially permanent 5in+ long scar.

I cannot say enough good things about Azaleas, Cindy the owner, and her incredibly patient and…read morehelpful staff. In the winter, I updated my boring bra collection with the most beautiful, perfect pieces from Azaleas (a five star experience that I previously reviewed). This summer, I got a whole new bathing suit wardrobe - picked up nearly every Hunza G style they had in stock, a couple vitamina bikinis, and that amazing Haight red one piece. I love the selection and they made shopping convenient throughout the last few months. Free shipping and then I utilized the in-store pick ups from the coffee shop next door. Now that the shop reopened, I purchased even more bathing suits (whoops!) and Carly could not have been more patient with me as I tried on approximately 100 different suits (thank you!). A wide range of styles and price points but I also trust Cindy to pick really high quality, well-made pieces which makes it easier to justify paying more for the quality. The customer service I have received here is unparalleled and I feel so grateful to have Azaleas as a neighbor in the East Village. One quick warning: the shop may look small but you can spend a lot of time inside!

I am afraid to put a review here because this has to be my favorite clothing store. I am so…read moresurprised it has not been reviewed by NY Magazine, the NY Times, Citysearch, DailyCandy, and by yelpers yet. However, I want the store to be successful so please check it out and tell Rita (the owner and sweetest person) that Michelle sent you. I go here to buy sexy summer and evening dresses and Brazilian bikinis. They have the most beautiful, original designs straight from Rio. I promise you you won't see anyone else wearing what you purchase there. Everything is carefully selected that is being sold and she has quality not quantity. One Brazilian designer they carry here is Morena Rosa. Beautiful fabrics and cuts. I definitely recommend buying bikinis from here. I bought 3 of the same design but in different colors for when I went on vacation to Aruba. [Small beauty tip for those who don't want to look like a zebra with tan lines;)] This boutique looks like it belongs on West Broadway or on Mott Street not on Steinway Street in Astoria. Very chic, modern and clean design, and colorful.

Was in desperate past 3 days finding a swimsuit! Today I…read morefound on yelp! I read good reviews about this place so I gave a call and asked if they have swimsuit. Luckily I found this place not too far from where I work at! As soon as I walked in the store a very nice lady gave me a smile and said hello to me. I asked her if she was the owner but she said no. She was nice lady, gave me a recommendation. There was nice clothes at that store so will come by next time for sure to look at clothes. Since summer is over. I got my swimsuit for 55 dollar. Got 50% from $110. Love this place! See you next time!

As someone who regularly shops at Garage and has always had smooth experiences, I walked into this…read morelocation expecting a simple exchange. Instead, I was met with an employee whose behavior completely changed the atmosphere. Her tone was dismissive and accusatory, almost as if she believed I had brought in a stolen item. Why would any customer be treated like that when they have full proof of purchase? The way she refused to remove the censor, refused to complete my exchange, and then told me to contact customer service made the situation feel frustrated.I left feeling disrespected and confused about how such unprofessional behavior could occur at a store. No customer should ever feel guilty for something they did not do and until the staff is better trained in professionalism and customer respect, I cannot recommend returning to this location.

In the past bra fittings have felt like being poked, prodded, and measured, but Dakota used her keen eye to help me find my perfect size within minutes. I really appreciated her patience as I tried on dozens of bras and her attentiveness to every little question or adjustment I needed. She also helped me find the perfect styles for my body (something I'd never even considered), expertly explaining all the jargon in an easily understandable way. She also wrote me a card to take home with my size & best styles - a detail that I really appreciated. I felt no pressure at all to tip, but even 15 minutes into the fitting, I felt compelled to due to the excellent level of care I was receiving. Furthermore, the shop was filled with a range of pieces - from basic nudes to vibrant colors. I would recommend the Rack Shack to anyone who is looking for a bra/underwear/lingerie. I will certainly be back!!

While the selection still seems great and most of the associates seemed friendly, the associate I ended up with did not seem interested in talking with me.

They also have cashew nut juice which you can't find in most other stores which I partook in. The prices were high but it's quite hard to find these things in NYC and their selection was excellent.
