Last week I was in St. Simon's Island for my family's vacation and was thrilled to finally see the shop in person! I was so excited and couldn't wait to finally go to the real store, but when I got there I have to admit, I was extremely underwhelmed. They barely had ANY smalls in stock-- all mediums and larges. So I couldn't have purchased anything even if I wanted to...but what really disappointed me was the customer service. They were young girls (I am 25, and have worked in retail before so I am allowed to be upset) Neither one of them once left from behind the register to greet, help, or answer any questions. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have looked up if I didn't say hi. Extremely disappointed by the whole situation, and has honestly left a bad taste in my mouth for future shopping. Do better, Shop Hopes.

Writing I'm sharing this experience so others can make…read moreinformed decisions. My daughter chose to celebrate her 13th birthday by paying $80 for a septum piercing at Island Republic in Bluffton, SC. During the appointment, she became uncomfortable with how the interaction was handled and decided she did not want to go through with the piercing. As a parent, I fully support her listening to her instincts in that situation. No service was ultimately performed. However, when she asked about a refund, she was told that none would be provided due to store policy. While I understand that businesses have policies in place, I believe there should be some consideration--especially when the client is a minor and the procedure was not completed. A store credit or the option to reschedule at a later time would have been a reasonable and customer-focused solution. Additionally, the response from the employee when my daughter expressed discomfort could have been handled with more professionalism and understanding. This experience left my daughter feeling upset on what should have been a special day. I hope the business takes situations like this into account moving forward and considers more flexible, compassionate approaches when working with young clients. Dad of the daughter, Charles Jaques

This wasn't noticed by any staff, but rather than walk away, she brought the broken glass to the their attention.

There are plenty of souvenir and clothing shops in the area that sell very much the same kind of stuff as Island Breeze. You should choose one of those instead.
