The items (only women's clothing) are high-quality but so affordable, there were suit sets for $12 and I got a thick Banana Republic blazer for $3 because it was on sale. And the service is lovely, the workers are very kind and friendly! So glad I finally took the time to check this place out, as a friend recommended I do.

To be clear, this review is for the newer store location on Meadow street, not the mall…read more I had a rough experience during my visit. I think one of the 2 staff members greeted me when I walked in, I wasn't sure but I said hello back. I was fine browsing alone, but not once did they ask if I needed help finding anything. The ENTIRE time I was in there (30-40 minutes), the staff members were talking to one another across the store, complaining openly about their income, about the way the store is run, about other coworkers, about their schedules, about their workload, etc. At one point one of them said something about threatening to "punch an old lady in the head," speaking about who I assumed was a co-worker from this store or another location. It was an energy draining experience. I left without purchasing anything because I couldn't stand to be around the unprofessional chatter anymore. The store itself was clean, spacious, and organized, had a decent selection of shoes, and a cute section for kids with a cartoon playing on TV. It's unfortunate that the customer service was so severely lacking, it really does make a difference in guest experience.

Not a great experience and a very odd one. When we found shoes we wanted and opened the boxes…read morethere would be only one to try on, this was true of all the boxes we opened and some boxes had nothing in them. We then asked one of the sales associates for help finding the mate to the shoe we wanted to buy were told that we would have to scour the store to find it. Yes it is a "warehouse" style store but I did not go in to the store for a treasure hunt, I went in to buy shoes. A real time hoover.

This is 2023 and Narrative Space is now almost exclusively a barber shop (they don't sell boots and…read moreshirts anymore). I looked online for a hair-cutting place that did both men and women (I am a woman). I didn't want a fancy-looking salon. Narrative has a lovely, old-fashioned look and feel. Their web site said their prices were $40, $45, or $50.00. MUCH too expensive, but I realized I was paying for ambience. My barber was Michael Clark. (One got whoever was free when you arrived.) I showed him 2 sets of drawings of the cut I wanted (front and profiles, the difference between the 2 sets being where I wanted the main curve to be: a little higher or a little lower. To begin with the outcome: The drawings clearly showed that the hair should be even with my chin. It ended up, in fact, 2 inches too short...... just below my ears. The cutting experience was very weird. On 4 occasions, he grabbed the hair at the very top of my head and repeatedly pulled it up and down, as if he were washing something on a scrub board. I don't know what on earth that was about. The way he was separating strands and cutting was quite baffling to me. There seemed to be no organization to it. Unfortunately, I was unaware of how short it was getting. I was focusing on it covering my ears. At the end, it didn't even fall nicely and I had to do some repairs when I went home. Unfortunately it was too short to do all the repairs it needed. He had paid no attention to my drawings or instructions. I knew what the price was before I sat down in the chair. This is embarrassing. I paid $70.00 for this cut.

I had done research on local salons, and Narrative Space was at the top of my list. I really liked…read morethe fact that Chris Burnett had both clipper and scissor expertise. My research paid off. Chris did a great job on my hair - short and tight on the sides and textured on top. Great haircut and great shop - cool original barber chairs, warm, industrial Instagram worthy design and a fab shop pup to boot.

I liked this Urban Outfitters because of their back window that looks out onto the canal walkway. It's a very pretty location. There's only street parking. Their sale section wasn't the largest I've seen at a UO. I liked that sold Cable Buddies iPhone-lightning charger covers and rubber banana pencil bags. I got a cropped linen blouse here on sale for $24 (super expensive still for what it was). I like that UO is a great place to buy gifts. They have beauty products, clothes for men/women, house stuff, and books. They have a lot of self-reflection journal style books. The worker here wore a cropped top that showed her midriff. I'm not surprised that workers can do that here at UO but it was definitely the 1st time I've seen it.

Plato's closet it's a national chain for thrift thing and stuff. They have a lot of women's clothes…read moreI would say 75% of women's clothes are very small selection and then stuff so I don't really speak on the women's clothes I guess but it was OK that the men's selection they had a lot of coats. The price point was probably a little high for what I've seen thrifting. The sales people seemed engaged with the customers you know running around taking orders and they have like a whole system of like tracking and reserving stuff in the back so that's always positive but yeah for women's clothing like I said a lot of women's clothing go check it out for that not much men at all.

I've been visiting Ithaca from Georgia for many years. My mother and I come to the store every time…read moreI'm in town. This time my husband went and was pleased. I have clothes that I got years ago and they are still in great condition. Anyone complaining about the prices should understand the cost of Polo driving shoes compared to the $15 we spent. There is always something to be found here. My mom has sold clothes in the past and if your items are needed, they pay very well. The employees are rotating and I doubt you'll ever see the same one twice. The ones today were helpful, reminded me about my points and rung up or purchases quickly. I'll continue coming here on every visit and happily pay the prices at a fraction of their original cost.

Wow! I had an incredible experience here today…read more I am not knowledgeable in the area of fashion. I felt tense about an upcoming job, my first that would require professional dress, so I decided to come into Loft.

This experience lifted a HUGE weight off my shoulder- I couldn't be thankful enough. I plan on returning to Amber and Loft soon!
