I could not find a bra that fit me correctly until Johari in Montclair fit me perfectly. This experience was a game changer for me and I will continue to recommend you forever! Thank you!! I would give you six stars if I could. read more

If you go for a fitting, book with Deborah ONLY, for a professional and non judgemental experience. It is a cute boutique with plenty of selection and the prices are average. The front desk needs to be cleared and organized because it is over cluttered. There is very limited off street parking. read more

I'm not sure I've ever taken the time to write a negative review on Yelp but after thinking about this for a week after my visit to the shop, I opted to do so as I really don't want anyone else to have this kind of experience. I drove over 45 mins to this place. The greeting was not warm. I was shown to a dressing room by a woman who announced to me with barely a hello how my bra was the wrong size. That was no surprise - that's why I went to this place. Bra fittings can be nerve-wracking when you're a plus size person. I've always been treated so kindly at places until this one. The sales person barely looked at me - and she was working wth a broken finger which obviously prohibited her from doing the job right. She brought me a bunch of bras that I could not get on because they were too small - as she told me they were the right size. Lady, if I can't get them on, try again. I should have just stopped there and left but I didn't. The sales person gave me this one type of bra that's more of sports bra in style and while I could get it on, it didn't lift me up in the slightest. I kept trying to convince myself that this woman was the expert. I ended up buying two of them - desperate to have a nice bra for a work gala. Neither honestly helped me in terms of lifting me up and providing support - so I wore an old bra after all that. I'm not returning the bras, because THERE IS NO way am I driving 45 mins each way to deal with that again. This is my fifth bra fittings as I've gone up and down in size and this was just not a good experience. You should feel great after a bra fitting - you learn the right size, your body is shaped in a positive and supportive way, and you feel that someone took good care of you. This place made me feel awful. If you're plus-size GO SOMEWHERE ELSE for kind treatment. I feel like this woman who "helped me" should apologize. (Maybe the service was rough because she was working with a broken finger, but still.....do better. read more

I'm so excited I purchase a swimsuit that actually fits. Absolutely will be back!! Personal attention is very much appreciated!

**LONG REVIEW. PLEASE READ TO THE END** I took my daughter & granddaughter here about 2 years ago & had an amazing experience. I go back for myself because I need a strapless bra. The service was great and I walked out a satisfied customer. The problem came upon return of the bra. I only had it on for a few minutes in the store. When I actually wore it, it started to cut me after 4 hours. I went to return it after I got in the store, realized I missed the deadline for return. HERE'S WHY I GAVE THEM 1 STAR: The salesperson in the store (she's always there when I've been there) tried to shame me into thinking I must have been mistaken!! She literally said it wasn't her fault, it was MINE and I didn't know how to wear the bra properly. WTF!!! Lady, I know my body & that underwire bra cut into my skin after 4 hours. She showed NO sympathy for my issue and basically said she's ALWAYS right! I hope never to step foot in that store again and I will be directing others to different undergarment stores. Remember lady, the customer is ALWAYS right! read more

Service is amazing, high quality lingerie and best of all... bra sized swimsuits and bikinis! I've been following Johari for a few years now. Its where I go for my Freya bikini obsession. They always carry the latest collections and also offer to order anything that you might not find in the store. Staff is always on hand to assist with sizing and I love their new bigger location. Love this store! read more

Went here for the very first time on Saturday (4/2/2016). Sydney, who is also the Assistant Manager was there, and she was extremely helpful. I went in with an idea of a starting size I would need, as I fluctuate often. I used the ABraThatFits! subReddit on Reddit to find my starting size (it's really an amazing community and they're very well researched and provide so many resources, I highly recommend checking it out. You don't need an account to look and check out their guides). I went from a 32DDD to a 32G, according to my measurements and their calculator. I found my size in the style I liked, and tried it on. Unfortunately, the cup seemed a little big, so while I was in the dressing room, Sydney came by and asked how I was doing, so I let her know that it seemed a bit off. She came in the room and checked the band and the straps, and then had me turn around to see the front so she could see what the problem was. She said immediately that we should try a smaller cup, but the band was perfect. So, she went out and got me the correct size. It fit perfect. Then, she asked if I wanted to see another type of bra, a multi-way, and if I wanted to try it on. I said yes, so she brought me the other bra. That one fit lovely as well. Their selection is pretty big for ladies that are bigger than what Victoria's Secret offers (as well as every other lady looking for a great bra). They have sexy and naughty lingerie, regular bras and panties, multi-ways, swimwear, shapewear, they had flip flops when I was there to get ready for Spring and Summer, cover-ups... etc. There's probably more, but I didn't really get to walk around. You really just have to go there and see. I ended up buying both bras Sydney helped me with, and when ringing me up, she even wrote down my correct sizes for me in both UK and US sizing, as well as the "sister" sizes in case the band of a bra was too snug. My correct size is a 32FF(UK)/32H(US) or 34F(UK)/34G(US). I was very pleased with my first visit and I can't wait to go back. Yes, the prices might shock some ladies, but if you think about it, wouldn't you rather spend the extra $10 on a quality bra that's actually going to fit you correctly, than spend hundreds replacing a bra every few months? Also, Victoria's Secret keeps raising the prices of their bras. At Johari, I found the average was about $60 - $70 a bra. Meanwhile at Victoria's Secret, you're looking at about $53 - $55 a bra. And, the bras at Victoria's Secret stretch out fast, nor do their fitters know how to fit correctly. I spent $99 for both bras, which was still cheaper than me buying 2 bras at Victoria's Secret. But, I'm sure if you tell them your price range, they'll be able to find something for you, or recommend something. A great bra will lift, support, improve your posture, make you feel amazing, and make you forget you're even wearing one. Johari is the place to go. The only bad thing is parking. Either you need to find a metered spot, or there's a lot on N Fullerton that charges $2/hr. When I got there, they changed it from $2/hr to $5 flat. No time limit. I got there at about 2PM on a Saturday if that helps. Also, for the metered spots, make sure you read the signs. Some have 1hr limits, some have 2hr limits. Some, you can only park at certain times. It's annoying. For those complaining about the refund/exchange policy, I see no issue with it. They want to keep their products clean and hygienic,. And, who would really want to buy something that someone else already wore? Especially swimwear. You never know if someone really kept their undergarments on when they tried it on, and you don't know what they do with the item once they get home. Plus, this is a small business. They can't afford to take in merchandise like that, especially if it's unsellable. read more

Johari - $99.00 for two bras. Cheaper than buying 2 nice bras at Victoria's Secret. - Lingerie Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Johari never disappoints! Came in for a quick bikini! I'm a funny size on top but bing bang boom - 20 minutes later i'm leaving with a brand new Freya bikini! I love this place :) read more

My new favorite store! Parking not easy but for this store it's worth it! Quality, selection and care and interest from staff are exceptional! Prices are high, but not for the quality you are buying... And the brands. Bought a fabulous Bathing suit and cover up. Will be back for Pjs, bras and Spanx. Honestly, things here are so beautiful, and service like this is not found on line or at big department stores, plus, they have sales. I actually checked a few pieces to see if I could find it on the internet for less and for the exact brands, they were the exact same price.... But at store I got honest and helpful sizing and advice! Stop in, you'll be glad you did! read more

Don't waste your time. After driving 50 minutes both ways to their store I was highly disappointed. The store is extremely small and doesn't carry enough merchandise or sizes. I almost tripped walking up the crooked stairs. The stairs definitely needs to be repaired. I know I was wearing the wrong size since I had gained some weight from medication. The women kept harping on this fact. I KNOW I WAS WEARING THE WRONG SIZE!! I purposely went to this store to get properly sized. So she tells me to remove my bra and she eye balls me. No measuring tape just eyeballs. She got the cup size right (the second bra she brought me) but the waist size wrong. She only had one (1) bra in that size anyway. I'm in pain wearing this bra. They have no strapless or variety of styles or colors. She had to order me another one. So I had to go back when it arrived. Another 50 minutes (almost 2 hour ride back and forth.) I bought the bras because at least it was close enough. I now know pretty much what my size is. I will shop Amazon going forward. I will NEVER EVER RETURN TO THIS "STORE". read more

This was the place I felt the most comfortable until today. I walk in and im treated as if I wear a training bra and have no knowledge of my own bra size. This was the only place I shopped for me and my daughter. From now on I will just order online from another vendor. I guess when the location changed so did the customer service as well as selection. To respond to your comment. If I say to you I know exactly what I am looking for obviously I have knowledge is not like you have a big selection in your store. The sales rep took me to the same bra I had on. My patience ok. I want to say listening is a problem for you. You have your knowledge as well as I. I knew our sizes as well as bra types that work best for us but instead of listening you rather have me do what you prefer instead of what I prefer. Just because it's hard to find my size at your location does not mean it's difficult. You have just motivated a new business venture for me. Thank you read more

I went for a fitting and was very disappointed. Looking back I should just not have paid. I felt I was being rushed and bothering the salesperson, J. In addition they only had 2 bras in the size I was to try on. So I left there not even sure the size was correct because they did not fit properly. Someone was in the fitting room next to me and she said to me "They are very pushy aren't they". I called a few days later and requested the 40 dollars back and was told by the salesperson that she could not do that and the ower would not be in as she was sick. The owner did call back and said that they do not rush people or make them feel uncomfortable and I said to her that she was not there so how could she know for sure that that did not happen. She also said they only have a couple of each size in the store and I could go back and she would help me. I will not be returning based on how I felt I was treated and would not recommend anyone going there. read more

My teen daughter and I both have been fitted here. Great customized customer service. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. Reasonably priced items, and they will do special orders. Highly recommend, 10/10 and A+! read more

Stopped into Johari today to purchase some tights, my second pair by Berkshire. Will definitely return for an updated bra fiting once they move into the new location in Montclair. Have been purchasing from Johari since they were on South Park Street to Bloomfield Avenue and will definitely stop into the new location in Montclair. read more

I LOVE Johari. What can I say, I'm a skinny girl who also happens to be quite large in the wrong (or right, depending on your perspective) area. I've been to many, many lingerie boutiques in NJ and have never been as happy as I have been here. The girls who work there are always helpful, educate you about how everything is supposed to fit, and give amazing bra fittings. They also have a ton of bathing suits (!!!) which is a plus because girls who are larger on top can have an extremely hard time finding a bathing suit at any department or mall store. If you're on their email list they also send out coupons regularly and always have some items on sale. Overall a very cute shop in Montclair where someone who usually has a hard time finding a well-fitting bra or bathing suit can come and feel pretty again :) read more

Nice place and good staff ready to help and fit you. Biggest issue is lack of inventory. Very few sizes in the store. Owner will order for you if you want to wait and then return to pick up. Not super convenient. I guess keeping inventory in store is expensive but I would have purchased more if stock was available or if shipping was offered. read more

This place is great. They carry lingerie, pantyhose, swimwear and accessories for women in a very friendly, helpful atmosphere. They do free bra fittings and after one, you will walk out of there feeling more confident than ever! the floor staff are so helpful, it's quite refreshing compared to buying bras in mall chains or department stores. Love this place! read more

I just want to give a shout out to Johari for their great products and even better customer service! When I went there on Saturday to look for something to wear with my backless top , it was recommended to me by the saleswoman to use Booby tape which I already had owned and tried but wasn't having great success especially with this top since it had zero support. She basically walked me through exactly how to execute and achieve the result I needed- and I am definitely a larger chested woman! It worked amazing with me getting compliments all night on how great the top looked plus I was able to dance the night away! It was way more comfortable than any strapless bra I had wore! Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Love Johari 2.0 meaning thew new store is larger and the selection is even better than before. The lingerie is "saucy" and "sassy" the swimsuits have always been top quality from the best designers. The styles Johari offers always keeps me coming back for more! The space is great, very well organized and the selection makeS it my go to in a pinch; especially when I don't feel like venturing to Short Hills for something sexy or my Spanx for under my office suits and dresses! The staff is fun and friendly not to mention the owner is knowledgeable and savvy when it comes to what women/men want (she did go to FIT no less!) Love Johari and thanks for keep the locals looking amazing in the bedroom and on the beach! *for those complaining that you can't return swimwear...get real THAT'S GROSS"!!!! read more

I was assisted by Esther and she could tell I had the wrong cup size on just by glancing at my shirt. She properly fitted me in the most comfy, flattering bra. I thought I was a DD, I'm a DDD. I originally stopped in to find a bathing suit top (target cannot support these DDD's) Esther picked out multiple tops and styles (their selection is amazing!) and helped adjust and fit me. I ended up finding an adorable top to match the bottoms I had. It gave me support and was soooo flattering. I'm so happy! All in all, it came to $116 for the bra & bikini top. Money well spent. I will be back! Esther was so friendly, knowledgable and accommodating. She's a gem! read more

Amazing. Experience. Great fitting. Great selection of clothes. The owner is so kind and Everyone is reasonably priced.

Johari is a fabulous store for so many reasons! What ever your looking for when it comes to Swimwear, Under Garments, as well as special gifts they deliver the goods! Woman and Men are catored to and there is something for everyone, most sizes can be accommodated. The customer service is impeccable and their knowledge and ability to work with each individual is a spot on. Johari is always stocked with the latest in styles, keeping you fresh and looking great year round. I highly recommend Johari a jewel in Montclair. They really go the XXXTRA mile for You!!!! Great Store! Angel Williams. read more

Johari - Johari A Jewel! - Lingerie Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Having never been to a boutique lingerie store I was hesitant but excited to walk into Johari. I've lived in the Montclair area my whole life and I suppose I'm tired of the hard sell one is given at Victoria's Secret. Of course I took them up on their free fitting and was met with mixed emotions after finding I've been wearing the wrong size (that old story!) Anyhow I was handed several different colors of full coverage bras for my ... ample size and after trying on the first one and striking a pose I instantaneously knew I'd not be venturing out to Macy's for the ol 18 hour playtex model again. The shop owner was very cordial and accommodating too. Whatever magic Johari seems to have makes them the real Victoria's Secret. Johari! Send me coupons! I dig yer style! read more

Johari has a winning combination of wonderful selection in size and upscale brands, knowledgeable staff and body positive atmosphere. I have been shopping for bras here for years, and these ladies make me look and feel great every time I shop. I recently took my mom with me, and she left with several bras and a renewed feeling of confidence. Deb and her staff are the best. read more

What happened to this store no customer service no selection..I drove over 40 minutes to get there no ladies room hello your a womans lingerie store that costs alot of money step up the customer service read more

I came to Johari with my mother in order to get some quality bra's for college. I thought Johari would be different experience from a major retailer like Victoria's Secret. Before I go to a place, I like to do my research; I wanted to try Freya's bras.. I called the store and asked if they carried Freya and the woman said yes, but not the specific one you're looking for. I decided to pop in the store anyway since I was told they do carry the Freya Line. Okay here's where I get really upset! ....Just wait for it! So I walk in the store asking to see their Freya Line and the sales associate asks for my size. I said I believe 34 C but I'm not really sure; I've never been properly measured and I asked if she can measure me and she said ok. I patiently wait for her for an awkward 7 minutes as she finishes her little desk organizing and she just walks over and says 34 C okay.....P.S she never measured me at this point; I dont think even scientists no matter how much of an expert measures solely with their eyes. This sales associate wasn't very polite to start with. She asks me how I heard of Freya and I tell her how I wanted a new brand and I saw a bra I liked: Deco Vibe. I know you don't have it here but I wanted to see the line. I show her a picture of the bra set. The first thing she says: "Hunny you will never get that cleavage; you don't have the material for it. The cup's holes are too deep." Okay at this point I am still taking the fire because yes...as a 34 C I don't have the biggest boobs in the world. BUT WAIT? I never even pointed out that I wanted the cleavage? I just wanted the bra set to be honest cause I thought It was cute never specifically asked for the push up look....Now the lady proceeds to find bras for me with okay styles and I begin to try them on. Didn't really feel like I liked them much; not cause of the "cleavage or push-up issue as she routinely pointed out with remarks like : "hunny you will never get that look because you need the material" and giving me various analogies regarding my "itty-bitty" boob ". I just didn't like the bra..But after all her comments I had enough; I had bras that made my boobs look fantastic so who is this lady to shame me and my small boobs. I try to subtlety tell her that but she kept making remarks how I will never have a cleavage because of "no material" that can fill in the bra. It might just be this sales associate that made my experience at Johari horrendous and I feel bad for leaving a bad review, but I was truly upset about the sales associate consistently telling me I had small boobs and will never get a cleavage in a vulgar manner when I never even asked for a push-up or a cleavage producing effect for a bra in the first place. I just wanted an authentic feeling bra. DONT THINK IM FINISHED YET........ ......I am going to stay at Atlantis so I asked the sales associate for a swim dress for my mom. Instead, she gives my mom a one piece bikini. My mom isn't the skinniest woman on the planet; but she's not crazy big. She likes swim dresses for coverage. Wear what you feel best in right? I tell her to try it anyway; give it a try! Be open to new things. Well, it ended up not fitting right and I tell the lady "sorry, she doesn't like it but thank you." The lady asks why and my mom tells her its because it doesn't really cover her belly or flatter it; it was a tight one piece bikini......and the lady rolls her eyes. First off, we asked for a swim DRESS; not a one piece and still tried it on for the sake of trying it on; who knows maybe it'll look good. I expected to have a different experience at Johari rather than your typical Victoria Secret store but I didn't. My needs weren't catered to and was shamed for the SIZE of my boobs and my mom; her desire to hide her insecurities. My Johari experience in 2 words: Rude and Inattentive. read more

As having a difficult time finding bras in my size, I love the selection available. Small ribcage and being bigger than a DD means Victoria's Secret is a no go but LOVE the selection of Freya bras there! The staff is always friendly and willing to help you get sized up properly. Your boobs (and back) will thank you. read more

If you have not been to Johari it's a must see! Proprietor, Deborah really knows her lines and makes you feel at ease when trying to find your intimate apparel. Hubbies, she will make your job easier, just tell her what you're looking for and she will find it for you. She has top of the line bathing suits and intimate apparel and her prices are very reasonable. You don't need to go to the mall! She even carries fitness wear. Mom's bring your teens, she'll take care of them too! Her warm personality and genuine smile makes you want to stay all day or have a cup of coffee with her. I'm thrilled that I discovered Johari and Deborah and you will be too. read more

Amazing service! Best place to buy lingerie, bras, nursing bras, pajamas, or bathing suit. The women that work at Johari's are very helpful, very attentive, and very smart about how to pick the right garment that you are comfortable in and look good in. The women are intelligent, kind, and encouraging. I find shopping to be intimidating but at Jahari's I find it to be FUN! I will for sure go back!! read more

Stopped in to find out about and hopefully purchase Fajas, for compression. After I explained what I was looking for, the girls were wonderful and knowledgeable. Mae (not sure of spelling) was especially attentive and I walked out with the garment I wanted. I felt sexy and confident. read more

I live in Brooklyn and passed this place while visiting my boyfriend in Montclair. This is the only place I buy my bras from now! The staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and warm. While the prices are a little high (on average I spend about $70/bra) it's wonderful to find a boutique that carries high-quality bras in larger sizes that also come in pretty colors and styles. I'm so happy I stumbled across this place. It's worth every penny and a trip from NYC! read more

After years of searching and numerous depressing tries at department stores, boutiques, VS, online shops, etc. for the elusive good bra, I won't go anywhere else ever again because Johari is simply the best!! Julianna helped me with her expert knowledge of bras, sizing, and the store's inventory to find a couple of fantastic fits. I went back a couple months later to pick up another one because I love them so much. Never thought I would feel this way about bras but I no longer dread putting them on and can't believe the confidence boost it's been! read more

I love going to johari! after 2 pregnancies and various gym routines my bra size has been all over the map. Johari has always been great about getting me fitted perfectly and finding bras that meet my needs. They know their merchandise so well and are always super helpful. I have found great bras, sexy stockings (the red heeled thigh highs are super cute!) and swimsuits there. Why bother heading out to the mall with such a gem right here. read more

Store has a lot of potential and friendly staff, but definite lack of customer service by the owner. You should be able to do a return a day after you buy something with all the tags, protective stickers, and receipt. Just make sure you want to keep something before you purchase. Won't be going back. read more

Believe the hype! This is place is as good, or better, as you've heard. I was instantly put at ease and treated like a VIP at my bra fitting. Sydney, who assisted me, was a wonder and immediately instilled both confidence and camaraderie. The setting was elegant without being fussy or overdone. No sales pressure at all. Top quality merchandise and the prices were far more reasonable than I've seen for the same stuff in stores that do not offer anywhere near the customer service I found at Johari! read more

Recently lost 50 lbs. A good friend (we all need one of those) took me dress shopping and then told me my next stop should be Johari for a bra fitting. Bra fitting? Never had one! Was nervous.... Johari was a dream. The owner helped me find exactly what I needed. She was patient and I never felt embarassed or rushed! A really great experience. i was impressed with their selection of bathing suits too! I will definately be back and recommend them to every woman...every size :) read more

I love this store. The best bra fitting I've ever had.They carry high end lingerie at several price points.

Absolutely love this store! For one thing I never knew my true bra size, after visiting I was fitted by a bra expert who made me feel comfortable and at ease. This store is great for those of us woman who have a larger bust. They have tons of selection for us ladies with bigger bra sizes. They don't only have a great bra selection, but they also have amazing swimwear for women of every size. The sales people are nothing but nice and helpful and the owner is a riot. I recommended all my friends to this store and we are all fans! read more

My mother and I have apparently been wearing bras 2 sizes too small for YEARS. Getting fitted at Johari set that straight in one hour! Great prices, especially for a boutique, and great quality. No more VS for this gal. I plan to definitely come back for swim wear too. read more
