I had so much fun here shopping for a baby shower. I ended up buying 2 gifts!! Prices were normal for a Boutique. I like to shop local and support our neighborhood. read more

I drove all the way here to purchase LABUBU's Nicole does charge over the actual sticker price so I was a little taken back by that. (100$ for a 30$ item) that was a bit steep. But she has a huge AUTHENTIC variety of all Labubu items and designer outfits read more

I came in looking to get something for my twin boys and the owner, Nicole wasn't just unhelpful, but was on the phone with a family member yelling most of the time I was there. I called my husband to get his opinion, all while Nicole was on the phone loudly yelling... on speaker phone. I was the only one at the store and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The things she was yelling were actually quite awful, and should have been discussed either when no one was at the store or at home with family. I've had a business for the last 24 years and know what it's like to be in customer service. Whether you're there once or become a regular, you should be treated the same and never show emotions like I experienced when I was there. No excuse! There was such an uncomfortable atmosphere and I felt so awkward asking about anything. For such a high end, expensive children's store, I expected someone really sweet, welcoming and helpful, unfortunately I was really disappointed that I did not have a great experience. I will also add that I stopped by the day before after 5 because on yelp and google it shows the store is open till 6, but when I pulled up it showed they close at 5. She did say she'll make the changes, but it still shows the wrong closing time. read more

The selection is fabulous as is the service. It's a fabulous store with great charm and the clothing speakers to this!

We bought some items on Mother's Day and they had a 20% code. We bought a Labubu for $120. It's a week and a half later and their website shows the Labubu for $100. Feel like they hiked up their prices because of the coupon code. Sad for anyone who bought that weekend and didn't have a code. Pretty shady business practices read more

I purchased 2 Labubu dolls online but was only sent 1. She asked for a picture of the box it came in which I sent. She said they wouldn't mail only one doll in that big of a box. I don't work for you and I don't care how you mail things but you only sent 1! You will reap what you sow. You give small business owners a bad name. Whatever God you pray to and believe in I pray that you will have misfortune and strife until you do right by me. Don't be a bad and unethical human being. read more

I came in here a couple times looking for some goodies for my niece. The store was an absolute mess. It literally looked like a hurricane ruined the store. The owner was having conversations with her friends, completely ignoring me, and absolutely inappropriate language and conversations for a kid store! It was disgusting. read more

Always find the cutest , trendiest clothes. My go to for gifts . Nicole is awesome and will help you find whatever you need for any occasion . I love shopping here read more

Meant 2 Be - Some favorites - Children's Clothing Near Me - Tarzana, California

See all

I was by the store today and the owners attitude was appalling. This was not the first time, but I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that people can have a bad day. This is clearly not the case here. Each time I have encountered her it's been rude snarky remarks and zero knowledge on any questions asked regarding the merchandise. Aside from the high-horse attitude I would think she was an employee that had started that day and had no care for the result of customer service. If this is the way customers are treated, esp during these trying economic times, a foreclosure is likely in the cards for this store. The labels carried are easily accessible online. I can also see that there are many other bad reviews aside from the obvious solicited reviews above. Needless to say, I will never shop at this store again, and quite frankly, she should be ashamed of the way she treats her customers. She has zero self-awareness, not only as a business owner, but as a mother to small children. Disgraceful. read more

Buyer be ware. The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. The owner is so unpleasant and snobby, especially when you have a return or store credit. She is clearly one of those people who kisses the butts of customers who buy a lot but treats others poorly. News for you, friend, I can buy your whole store, building included. I came in to buy something with a store credit from a gift that was given to my daughter, and she was awful, making it very clear that she didn't want to honor it and made it as difficult and unpleasant as possible, like I was trying to get something that didn't belong to me. She finally relented, acting like she is doing me a favor or some great service, but then she discounted my credit even though when I made the return I was told the amount the credit was for. Acted super elitist and snobby and made me incredibly uncomfortable. She then just threw the items I purchased into a bag. Didn't fold anything. Just dumped them in. Miss, you're not curing cancer, you're not saving lives, you're not in a high stress job, PLUS there are hundreds of other options to chose from. I buy a ton of kids items and she will never have me is a customer. And, I do PR and am a trusted source of information for many friends. I am also a very active member of our community where I share businesses and elevate their profiles so that others use them as well. That's who you treated like crap today. BUT GUESS WHAT, you should be nice to everyone. PERIOD. The store is super overstuffed and looks like a giant store room. The items are good quality, but nothing you can't find elsewhere. I'll head to Calakids next time. Amazing people and amazing products. read more

Beautiful overpriced clothes. The owner is quite rude and unhelpful. There are plenty of other places that will be happy to take my money. I will not be shopping here again. read more

LOVE this store and its amazing selection of kid's trendy, quality clothing and accessories. The owner, Nicole, is always very helpful when I'm in a rush and trying to pick out gifts for others. I love shopping here and avoiding the uncertainty of online shopping and high shipping rates. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I ordered online - a very large order worth hundreds of dollars. I received multiple items with no tags on them and have contacted the store looking to return them or for some sort of discount. I was going to gift these items and don't feel right giving them as gifts without a tag showing they are new. I kid you not when I say I have sent 14+ emails over the course of over 2 months and have not received a single word back. I am truly considering reporting this business to the BBB. Customer service is worse than nonexistent. read more

I absolutely love going to Meant 2 Be in Tarzana! I know I can always find a unique and special gift for a child there and when my daughter was younger I found fabulous clothes for her!!! I would love to have a Meant 2 Be for adults and teens so I'd have a "go-to" for my self and my daughter and nieces! read more

This is the first place I have been to since the pandemic started where the store employee was not wearing a mask. She was also not enforcing it as a few shoppers didn't have masks on too. I had to wait 20 minutes for her to help me because she just couldn't tear herself from her phone conversation, which was riddled with profanity. Seriously, how unprofessional! It is obvious that there are not following any covid precautions as there were no hand sanitizers, distancing, and she just takes costumer cards for payment instead of letting me insert it myself. Clothes are also overpriced for the style and material. read more

Place to go if you need good quality and stylish clothes for your little one. Nicole is amazing, she will always help you to find the best gifts and clothes. My kid always gets compliments on his cloth. By far the best children clothing store read more

I was gifted a toddler track suit from this store and I loved the quality of it. It says "california vintage" so that's the brand. Packaging from the store was super nice as well, I will definitely come back here myself next time we need clothing for my little one read more

Disgusted by the frumpy owner's nasty attitude. I called to check if they carried an item and she was extremely rude and short with me on the phone. I thought ok, maybe she's just like that on the phone. I walk in later and the store is a DISASTER. Clothes piled everywhere, disorganized, dirty, and hardly room to walk. It was truly anxiety provoking. I walk up and there's food on the counter and she's slurping her coke loudly. She gave me the worst attitude as she gave me my order. Clearly a very unhappy person. I like to think that I have a lot of influence with my large group of mom friends and my social media following and I'll be sure to post about this horrendous place and owner. Yuck. read more

This store is GREAT, hip and up on all the latest kid fashion!!! This is my go to place whenever I need gifts & clothes for babies/kids of friends and family. Owner and staff are lovely! read more

The own is the biggest b----tch. Shw bodyshamed my daughter and as soon as I bought something for full price a couple days later she marked it down for a hundred dollars less. Everytime. She also asks me why I don't buy thing for full price when that is none of her buisness. Don't support her buisness. Trust me she is the biggest crook involved in a bunc of fraud. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this boutique!! I've been looking for quite some time for that perfect children's clothing store that offers stylish and unique pieces especially in the Valley. Thank goodness for Meant 2 Be!!! The owner Nicole is just FABULOUS!!! She has a GREAT sense of fashion and because of that all the clothes she carries is not only hip and on trend but they are truly versatile and special. She knows exactly what looks great on my daughter. Nicole is also so sweet and is amazing with the kids- my daughter LOVES her which makes the shopping experience even better! Every time my daughter (age 6) and son (age 17 months) wear the clothes from Meant 2 Be- we ALWAYS get compliments. People want to know where we buy our clothes because my kids not only look so stylish but you don't ever need to worry about showing up at a party with 20 other kids wearing the same thing. You can say my daughter has become quite the fashionista thanks to Meant 2 Be:-) Hands down, without hesitation, I highly recommend this boutique!!! read more

I just went in to get my daughter a birthday outfit and I haven't a clue about clothing, especially a 6 year old girl! Right when I walked in Nicole helped me pick out something that my daughter loves. She spent a lot of time with me and was amazing! Their selection is great and it's right next to one of my favorite sushi spots which is a bonus. I'd highly recommend going in there... What a great store! read more

My all time favorite store. Because of this boutique Id rather shop for my kids than myself. I think the owners name is Nicole... she was so attentive and funny. I actually enjoyed being in the store w my 2 girls (not usually the case when we're shopping) they had toys for my kids to play w and the other employees also kept them Entertained. Every time my kids wear clothes that I got from this store we get stopped on the street. Everyone wants to know where we got it from. Prices are fair, there's always great stuff on sale. And the best part... sometimes I can get matching outfits for everyone! Including myself. read more

my wife and i found this store from one of the mommy and me moms. So we were in the area and decided to stop in. we ended up stocking our little girl up with an entire wardrobe. great selection of clothes and stuff you don't find at all the usual spots you get kids clothes, if you know what i mean. If you want you child to stand apart like I do shop here, sometimes looking good costs a bit more but worth it read more

No website? I received the most hideous outfit from this boutique at my baby shower and would like to return it, but I don't want to drive all the way to Tarzana to do so. I wish they had a website so I could do the return via mail. read more

My daughter is obsessed with this boutique. We drive a ways to shop here, but it's worth it, especially for a special occasion. The salesgirl was amazingly helpful and nice and there was no smell of smoke I have no idea what people are talking about. Love. read more

They have decent selection for clothes and what not.. But obviously you can find some of the shoes online for half the price since some are generic brands such as the wannabe Valentino shoes. Anyways the lady working at the cash register stays on her phone. She's super loud and obnoxious .. If you have questions you have to interrupt her phone convo which is annoying. Sales people and people running a retail store should NOT be chit chatting on the phone! read more

I love meant to be!! I come here from the westside because of Nicole! She gets to know your child's character and matches the clothes with them. The quality is amazing!! I would shop here all of the time if I could. I can't wait until she opens up in Beverly Hills :) read more
