I had a fantastic experience working with Thane on a big tailoring order a few weeks ago…read more I had 7 or so suits that needed various levels of adjustments, mostly simple stuff like shortening sleeves, hemming pants, and taking in the width on a few blazers. However, I also had one blazer that I purchased at an online tailor company that came out very wonky in the shoulders. Thane was able to perform surgery on it and perfectly fix the issues. He got everything done on a tight timeframe too, and put in extra work to get it all exact. Beyond that, he was a pleasure to chat with and very professional. The whole project came to a little over $1000, which I think was reasonable given the quantity and quality of work done. I especially don't think anyone else could have fixed the shoulders on that one blazer, so it effectively saved me the value of losing out on an entire suit jacket.

This is 2023 and Narrative Space is now almost exclusively a barber shop (they don't sell boots and…read moreshirts anymore). I looked online for a hair-cutting place that did both men and women (I am a woman). I didn't want a fancy-looking salon. Narrative has a lovely, old-fashioned look and feel. Their web site said their prices were $40, $45, or $50.00. MUCH too expensive, but I realized I was paying for ambience. My barber was Michael Clark. (One got whoever was free when you arrived.) I showed him 2 sets of drawings of the cut I wanted (front and profiles, the difference between the 2 sets being where I wanted the main curve to be: a little higher or a little lower. To begin with the outcome: The drawings clearly showed that the hair should be even with my chin. It ended up, in fact, 2 inches too short...... just below my ears. The cutting experience was very weird. On 4 occasions, he grabbed the hair at the very top of my head and repeatedly pulled it up and down, as if he were washing something on a scrub board. I don't know what on earth that was about. The way he was separating strands and cutting was quite baffling to me. There seemed to be no organization to it. Unfortunately, I was unaware of how short it was getting. I was focusing on it covering my ears. At the end, it didn't even fall nicely and I had to do some repairs when I went home. Unfortunately it was too short to do all the repairs it needed. He had paid no attention to my drawings or instructions. I knew what the price was before I sat down in the chair. This is embarrassing. I paid $70.00 for this cut.

I had done research on local salons, and Narrative Space was at the top of my list. I really liked…read morethe fact that Chris Burnett had both clipper and scissor expertise. My research paid off. Chris did a great job on my hair - short and tight on the sides and textured on top. Great haircut and great shop - cool original barber chairs, warm, industrial Instagram worthy design and a fab shop pup to boot.

I liked this Urban Outfitters because of their back window that looks out onto the canal walkway. It's a very pretty location. There's only street parking. Their sale section wasn't the largest I've seen at a UO. I liked that sold Cable Buddies iPhone-lightning charger covers and rubber banana pencil bags. I got a cropped linen blouse here on sale for $24 (super expensive still for what it was). I like that UO is a great place to buy gifts. They have beauty products, clothes for men/women, house stuff, and books. They have a lot of self-reflection journal style books. The worker here wore a cropped top that showed her midriff. I'm not surprised that workers can do that here at UO but it was definitely the 1st time I've seen it.

The manager was a creepy person who smoked cigars and made uncomfortable awkward comments in the parking lot. At one point he told me I should go home with him to learn some manners. I think this was because I wasn't able to tie a tie or I wanted the pant legs longer, something trivial. Regardless, not appropriate. Writing this review 3 years later should be an indicator about how strongly and certain I feel about this establishment. Perhaps the CEO should rethink his anti-background checking policy.

The employees are rotating and I doubt you'll ever see the same one twice. The ones today were helpful, reminded me about my points and rung up or purchases quickly. I'll continue coming here on every visit and happily pay the prices at a fraction of their original cost.
