I went there to just look around and get a feel for the place and what it had to offer and to…read moreperhaps find a bit of community or a trinket for myself. I barely got in the door when I was accosted with a hard sales pitch and had a tray for crystals aggressively thrust at me. I politely declined it, saying again I just wanted to look around a bit first. Then, the woman, the owner, I assume, tried to take my phone to put in her website, even though I told her I could easily find it online at home. Then, she tried to do the same with her Instagram. I really don't like people grabbing at or taking my phone. You never know what they're going to do. I gave her the same reply. The store has some lovely things, the same things as every other store of that kind has, and I already have most of them. As I looked around, I felt very uncomfortable. I could feel her angrily watching me. When I made my way back to the front, I asked her about those crescent crystals. She brought them out of a display case and told me they were $36., each, which I thought was way too much for what they were. At second glance, their shapes weren't even all that appealing to me, certainly not for that price, which she kept lowering. Still, I politely declined. I simply did not care for it but did not want to tell her that. One thing I really hate is the rudeness of aggressive sales people, especially when they won't accept that "no" means no, no matter how politely it's phrased. I also don't like when a proprietor gets angry at someone for not wanting to buy something. I don't understand this breach of a buyer's prerogative. This was a turn off for me and made me quite uncomfortable and a little irritated as well. For this reason alone, I will not be going back. At that time, I was the only customer in the store. Perhaps this was why. People in general do not like aggressive sales people or haggling. I know I don't. I will not be bullied into buying something I do not like or want.

Earth Stones International is a place I had wanted to go to for a long time. I finally made the…read moretrip and glad that I did. I received some great information and insight from the shop owner and also was able to make a few purchases that I think were specifically designed with me in mind. The shop is well stocked and could perhaps be considered overwhelming yet the energy is transformative to say the least. I am Scorpio sun, Scorpio moon, and Gemini rising, so I can definitely get intense, but overall this shop helped to draw out those things that were bothering me and to find healing. I purchased a bracelet and a couple of stones and little did I know when I purchased that bracelet it was going to really have a strong effect on me days later. I also appreciate that I was able to take a photo of the description that went with my bracelet so that I could look at it later because at the time I was there it didn't really sink in. I plan to visit this shop again. It's in a portion of Laguna that I adore, and there are many shops nearby that I think are worth visiting. Not only that I've loved staying at the Capri Laguna across the street and walking down to the ocean, especially down at Pearl Street. In my opinion, this section of Laguna is one of the best and still maintains that quaint, artistic Laguna vibe that I enjoyed many years ago in the 1980s.

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about The Chakra Shack. I stumbled upon it about two…read moreweeks ago and I've already been back four times because I just love being there. From the moment you walk in, the energy is pure magic, so peaceful and welcoming. The lovely older woman i've talked to a few times and every other single staff member are just the sweetest, warmest people. They are so genuinely helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly care about helping you find what you need. It is so easy to lose track of time and stay way longer than planned just soaking up the gorgeous atmosphere. The whole shop is curated and decorated so beautifully, and everything is always immaculately organized. I've visited every single crystal and metaphysical shop here in Laguna Beach, and The Chakra Shack easily tops them all by a mile. Plus, the pricing is so fair and honest. Every single visit is an absolute treat for the soul. If you haven't been yet, you are missing out--I cannot recommend this beautiful little sanctuary enough

I like the brands that the store carries as well as their branded merchandise. Maybe I'll try again next time I'm Laguna.
