Sometimes they can even be a little too ready when you're trying to browse on your own. The sales and promos here are legit, and everything always rings up the way it should. I've never had an issue redeeming a code or promo from the app or email here. They're usually really well stocked, and I can always find what I came for (plus a few things I didn't plan on). It's reliable, clean, and smells great without being overbearing.

What a really cool experience!…read more Private session for my friend and I to create and customize a scented soy candle. Personalized attention, great explanations and assistance. After measuring and mixing we picked the perfect vessel for our candle to solidify and were handed a label to name it. We were also signed up for the perfume class. There were fifteen of us present, good energy, nice vibe. It was like a science lab of scents and we worked our magic. We were instructed to choose up to six oils to mix into a beaker. We played around with the scents until it smelled like something we wanted to wear. We were directed to shelves of pretty perfume bottles; some included with the price of the class and upgrades that were not. My pretty pink bottle was an upgrade. When we received our perfumer's alcohol, we poured into our bottles, gave a little shake and came up with a clever name for our signature scent. I was really hoping the owner would pop in. It's good to know that we can refill each perfume bottle and candle jar at a discounted price. I named my candle "Priceless" because the combined scents remind me of my travel experiences. My chosen name for my perfume is "Journey" because that's exactly where each note takes you.

The female sales associate was less than friendly. Didn't seem excited or cared that I saw their business on social media and drove 4 hours to see it. The other guy was helpful though. I was expecting ALL travel sizes though, not regular sizes too. That's fine. It was fun to look at. I felt obligated to purchase something. I felt like it was really overpriced though. A travel sized bottle of Kérastase for $20.99? No thanks! I'll buy the full size from the company and get that for free. Also, the store is very, very, small. It was nice to see it, but I highly doubt I'd ever go back.

I'm glad she talked me into it because their store has some fantastic stuff. I loved walking around and browsing... the store is really big. I thought it was just the first floor but there's an entire second floor that's even larger. That second floor has a ton of children's stuff; books, toys, stuffed animals, art, and so on. There are also lots of books for adults, and cards, and jewelry, and t-shirts, and so many things. I bought several books for my little one, and there are some toys I think she'd like that I may pick up another time and some really cute stuffed animals as well. I'm not sure if the woman that greeted us was a docent or a paid staff member but she was so welcoming. She's the one who pointed us to the second floor that we didn't know existed and let us know they had kid stuff. Then she welcomed us back when we got downstairs, and told us about the MCA kids days and said she couldn't wait to see us again.

They have done…read moresome excellent social media marketing and we added this store as a priority stop during our trip after seeing several viral videos about creating a hat. Service was efficient and professional. Staff answered questions patiently and did their best to move customers through the hat making experience without making people feel super rushed. We arrived a little before opening on a weekday and a line had already been formed halfway down the block. The hype around their custom hats was real. Although there was a formalized line of people that was built, customers still needed to scan a QR code to file in a virtual queue to make their hat(s). Since we arrived early, the wait was very minimal through the virtual queue once the shop officially opened. There were several choices of caps to choose from. They had both adult and children hats. I was able to make (semi) matching hats for my daughter and me. Hats were reasonably priced, but the patches are what quickly made the price add up. They're plentiful and so cute. It was hard not to select a ton! Once we completed a mock-up of our hats, the time to finalize was quick. The girl who helped us was super friendly and lovely to chat with. She also gave my daughter a special sticker when we were all done. 5-star experience. We've worn our hats several times since making them and they're still holding up well. Highly recommend this experience if you're visiting Chicago from out of town.

She brought it to me in front and I didn't have to lift a finger. Very helpful experience in my book! I saw someone brought their dog in which is nice because I was looking for dog friendly places to visit with my pup. The items are pricey but they are Chicago tailored and I like that.
