Very Disappointing Experience -- Be Careful…read more We had a very disappointing experience at this shop, particularly because the customer involved was my 90-year-old mother. When we first arrived, we had to wait about 15 minutes because the salesperson was late opening the store. My mother was looking for a pair of sandals in the exact same style and color as a pair she has owned for many years. The salesperson, who had a European accent, ordered the color my mother wanted and told us she could modify the insert for approximately $30-$40. About two weeks later, we returned to pick up the sandals. At that point, my mother purchased an additional insert, costing approximately $200. The total purchase came to $549.53. She repeatedly assured us not to worry and said she would "make it right." Unfortunately, when my mother got home, she immediately noticed that the sandals did not fit or feel like her original pair and was very unhappy with them. We returned to the store and requested a refund. The salesperson initially resisted the refund and repeatedly told us that she would lose money if she refunded the purchase. I explained that this was not an appropriate way to treat a 90-year-old customer and that we would dispute the charge if necessary. She eventually agreed to take back the sandals and the expensive insert, but she still charged my mother more than $90 for the original modification. I asked to see exactly what had been done to the sandal. What I saw was essentially a small piece of cotton with a small piece of rubber attached to it. I was shocked that we were being charged more than $90 for this. The salesperson claimed it took her approximately 30 minutes to install it. I personally witnessed the work, and it took approximately five minutes. She also refused to refund that $90 charge and would not allow us to take the piece of material with us. We are now in the process of disputing that portion of the charge. The issue here isn't simply the money. It's the way the situation was handled. My mother is 90 years old, and we expected honest pricing, good customer service, and a willingness to make things right when the product didn't work for her. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We left feeling that my mother had been taken advantage of, and I cannot recommend this shop based on our experience.

They were also super helpful throughout the process of picking out a board that actually fit my style. They took the time to listen to what I was looking for, gave me great advice, and genuinely made sure I was happy with my purchase. They even gave me a free leash and 20% off accessories which was super helpful. Really appreciate the customer service and how they handled the situation. I'll definitely be coming back to Hansen's in the future!

Lots to choose from at great prices. I moved on to the Men's clothing section and couldn't hold back from buying things for myself..lol. There was so much to choose from. Heavy coats, pants, socks, shirts, the list goes on and on. If you look well enough, you're sure to find some good deals. Now off to home decor and I was really impressed with prices here. Their holiday section was large and as you'll see in my attached photos, there is plenty to choose from. Wreaths, ornaments and many more items for the home and gift ideas. It was so nice to shop on a weekday when crowds were low and it provided an enjoyable shopping experience. Try to get here as soon as possible before the holiday rush takes place. Welcome to Encinitas, Burlington!

After enjoying a Lofty Coffee with the husband (at the roasting site across the street), I decided to peruse Moonshadow in Encinitas for some holiday gift giving inspiration! I knew I could come out with at least a hint (for someone) if I didn't find a gift for someone on my list! Moonshadow has something for everyone from the hippie to the hipster...unique baby bibs and rattles, local healthy treats and toys for your pet, fun tees for the guys, custom jewelry for the gals! Gift cards, books and unique home items for all! It was initially a massive dreamcatcher in the window that lured me in. It was suggested that Cat Stevens wrote Moonshadow as a song of hope. The song is about being present, being joyful and living in the moment! This boutique is one that offers many symbolic items that help you do just that! #Moonshadow #CatStevensFan #LiveInTheNow

These backpacks are light and water resistant, sturdy and they hold a lot of items. Aloha Collection was founded in 2014 by a flight attendant named Rachel Leina'ala and Heather Aiu a native of Kauai. They both had a dream to create travel light and splash proof purses, totes, backpacks, cross body bags, duffles, diaper bags, lunch boxes and laptop cases. They feature so many unique Hawaiian patterns/prints in their design and who doesn't enjoy carrying a piece of Hawaii with them? They also offer special collections from time to time like Hello Kitty and they just came out with a Moana collection. I find their products reasonably priced and they often have some great sales. You can purchase in one of their stores located all over Hawaii, Newport Beach, Encinitas, Malibu, and Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Easiest way to purchase is online. This store was well laid out and organized. Products were easy to view and staff were helpful. Each and every year, they gave back 5% of their profits to organizations that uplift the Hawaiian islands. These non profits support perpetuation of Hawaiian culture, environmental education and community well being. I love supporting businesses that give back to their communities so I will continue to shop here. Thank you Aloha Collection!

I got the weekender, large pouch, and a passport holder for under $100. Can't beat the deals and quality. I highly recommend. Thank you so much ladies
