Took some out of state friends for a fun day of thrifting and was humiliated after going to this…read morestore. An older woman who was not the owner was working and was rude and curt to everyone in my party including my husband who was more than happy to drop alot of money in there for me. I am older and she followed me around like I was a shoplifter. She accused one of the gals I was with of changing a price tag, then got made at me because I put my purchases on the counter to check out. I seriously would have left but was so embarrassed I did not want to ruin the day and the gals I were with were blown away at her rudeness. She also turned to my husband and son as he was shopping with me and said "there is a book store across the street!" as if she did not want them in the store. I ended up buying all my over priced purchases anyhow and left. I seriously almost put everything back and walked out but like I said did not want to ruin the day. Avoid this place at all cost. It is over priced for second hand clothing even in Carpenteria. Go to American Cancer Discovery stores or Assistance League stores instead where you are treated with respect. Why the owner allows such a rude lady to work for her is beyond my understanding. I should have listened to the other reviews that said the same things.

I have been coming to Twice As Niice consignment for several years now. Jana, the owner, does a…read morefantastic job of bringing in a variety of styles and at good prices. It's my first go to when looking for something new, and I rarely leave empty handed. The selection of clothes are seasonally appropriate, and Jana is good about having those shoulder season items as well. Clothing, shoes, jewelry, belts, bags, name it, her store is small but packed with treasures! I have even started consigning there and her pricing is fair. Definitely worth a stop in, you might very well get hooked like I have.

Man. Man oh man. I really don't like giving less than 3 star reviews...especially to a small and…read morelocally owned business! But, this experience couldn't have been any: worse, boring, blah. I will not be back. I walked in to look around as I have never been here. I love to shop local and I was excited to see all the local Carpinteria merchandise. I wasn't greeted. OK. Fine, I can accept that as maybe she was having a bad day? It was an older lady, blonde hair, who was working. She was *radiating annoyance and irritation and I felt awkward trying to even make small talk with her. You could tell she didn't want to be there, and by the body language she was presenting, she didn't want me there, either. I had asked a question about plus sized shirts. I had asked about the sticker prices. I knew after my 2nd question that she couldn't care less if I had any questions or even if I had asked her what time it was. I bought a few items because I felt a bit guilty about going in and just looking. I still love Carp even though this experience sucked. I wouldn't recommend spending your money in this place. Support one of the other local businesses in the area instead who really appreciate you and your money!

We came into this store genuinely excited to shop and were planning to make purchases because they…read morehad really cute pieces at great prices. Unfortunately, the experience with one of the attendants completely changed our minds. While we were browsing, the female attendant gave us virtually no space to look. She repeatedly put her hands in our way and asked if we wanted her to hold rings for us, to the point where we couldn't comfortably browse without her standing right over us. It felt like we were being watched the entire time rather than welcomed as customers. The male attendant was very nice, which we appreciated. However, things took an even more uncomfortable turn when the female attendant called out her husband's name and motioned toward my sister, who happened to be wearing a ring similar to one she had when she entered the store. The way it was done came across as if she was signaling him to watch us or keep an eye on us. There was absolutely no basis for this implication, and we found it extremely disrespectful. We would never steal, and being treated as though we were suspicious simply because of what my sister was wearing was upsetting and completely unnecessary. We had every intention of purchasing something, but the way we were treated ultimately caused the store to lose our business. It's unfortunate because the jewelry was really cute and reasonably priced. A little trust, personal space, and basic respect for customers would have made this a completely different experience.
