They enjoy following customers around the store !!! Meanwhile they have things that you can easily find on Temu or Shein. Might seem like a drag but if you're Black don't go in there because they immediately think you want to steal from them. Have a great day! :) read more

I went to get a few Hello Kitty plushies for my dear friend who is in the hospital. I didn't notice it at first but a few minutes in I realized my friend and I weren't greeted which is a red flag for me. But what made me say you basically got me messed up was when the girl who worked there didn't offer any assistance (Because there was no prices on many of the items) Decided to hover instead like we were there to steal. Hell would have to have frozen over twice if I were to buy anything from this place after experiencing such disrespect. Get CCTVs if you are so paranoid. Maybe it's the New Yorker in me but nope there are other places in Flushing to get plushies. And based off these reviews this place not only lack customer service they are overpriced. So I think we dodged a bullet. read more

Valentine - Hell - Women's Clothing Near Me - Flushing, New York

Store had a lot of cute items. Good store to browse through during our trip to Flushings, however, despite the employees being very nice, I felt uncomfortable by the employees staring and following me around and ended up leaving without purchasing anything. I was honestly scared to touch anything because every aisle I walked to, an employee quickly followed me there and stood approximately a few feet away just staring. Many of the clothing items didn't have price tags so can't attest to the prices. Worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Oh no the amazing korean clothing vendor has been replaced! It used to be a couple that sourced great stuff. Now the owners bought that booth and the clothing are off trend. WHERE DID THEY GO? (sob) read more

Valentine is a really cute store. They have plenty of Hello Kitty and Korean character merchandise. I saw some Pororo and Kakao Friends. What I really liked was their selection of jewelry and hair accessories. They were super cute and reasonably priced. They also carry a bit of clothing and TonyMoly cosmetics. It was a one stop shop and I left with a great headband and barrette. read more

Cute assortment of stationery and supplies, tons of cute plushies in the window beckoning you to come in.

In the back there are hair accessories, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and even a small selection of ladies clothing too. read more

Valentine - Some assortment of pencil cases they have - Women's Clothing Near Me - Flushing, New York

It was raining and I wasn't finished with my holiday shopping. We ducked into this shop.. It was cute. Reminded me of the stores in Korea. Girly and cute with a whole wide selection, from make up to clothes. This is a perfect gift shop for a teenaged girl. Hello Kitty socks, head bands, earrings, cellphone accessories, Tony Moly makeup, hats and scarves. It is hard to leave this store without buying something. We got a hat and some socks. Because it is the holiday season they offered gift wrapping. There weren't too quick about it but the effort showed, because the gift was beautifully wrapped with a very pretty bow. The cute girl who helped me definitely was a hard worker as she hopped around the store helping all of the customers find what they wanted. read more

It's a store filled with very cute things. They have stationary, cell phone cases, stickers, hats, sunglasses, bracelets, circle lenses, necklaces, jewelry, promise rings, clothes, etc. Sanrio and San-X fans, you would like what they have here. I took away two stars because of how expensive a lot of the things are. There was this pretty bracelet there for $45 made up of bows and imitation pearls. I found the same exact bracelet in Busy Mall for $15! So if you really like something in Valentine, I suggest you check other stores to see if they would sell it at a cheaper price. read more

Two of my friends and I wandered into this store during a trip to Flushing last weekend. My roller derby team has Queens in the name, so I am always looking for crown items. You'd be surprised how hard it can be to find costume jewelry and other accessories with crowns or tiaras on them, but I struck gold here! Valentine had a variety of bobby pins, barrettes, hair chopsticks, and iPhone cases adorned with crowns. My only complaint is that it's expensive, but the items do seem like they are decent quality, so I'm happy for now, and I would come back here again if I was looking for another special accessory. read more

My friend and I walked in for fun because of the music and bright layout. We were looking at the makeup and skincare section. I was overwhelmed with the variety of products, but Peter, who works there, answered all our questions. He was funny and honest about the products being sold. I ended up buying several face masks, orchid essence, and water-tinted lipstick. We loved Peter and will definitely return to check out their stock in the future. read more

Valentine is a cute store and I've been there a few times. And the guy who works there is really nice and when you leave they say goodbye

Valentines has stationary, jewelery, baby clothes, womens clothes, and mens blazers. They also recently closed tonymoly and opened up etude house & innisfree!! The products are very reasonable, I checked and they are practically the same price as Korea. read more

See all

First time venturing into Flushing and my daughter and I love the look of this store. We actually visited the day before Valentine's Day so most of the customers were men. This store is comprised of different "stores": a gift and school supply shop, jewelry and hair accessories, korean clothing, and asian makeup. My little girl got sucked into the jewelry and hair part which I know takes credit card. They also did on-request gift wrapping (maybe only for V-day?). I really loved their selection...costume jewelry with a lot of bling. I felt it was a bit expensive with some pretty simple bling necklaces going for $20 to $30. Maybe 'cause I know it's made in Korea, it should be more around $5-10. They even had some necklaces and rings around $70-90. But if you love those Japanese fashion magazines and wonder where to get those cute pearl cross earrings and lots of pearls and ribbons necklaces that are better looking than JCrew...this is the place to go. If items were priced $10 less, I probably would be going crazy in this store. But though the prices are high, I don't really see this selection in "American" stores say like Claire's. Also, I'm a big fan of those cloth-made, fancy hairbands usually of Hello Kitty. The most I paid for it is around $8-10 (bought one in L.A., and another in Bryant Park). Their headbands cost $13! But I got suckered in because it was so darn cute and totally original. I know no one at my girl's school would have it so I drank the kool-aid and paid up. I casually glanced at the clothing section...seemed pretty hip. I liked the shoes at a glance. I'm a big Secret Garden fan of the moment, and the shoes kinda reminded me of the show. I think the shop is a hit because I noticed a lot of guys in this section buying stuff for their girls. I probably would have given 4 stars if not for our treatment trying to buy our purchase. The Korean girl who looked really cool was very helpful and spoke English well explained to me how the store work (certain sections she knew took CC and some only cash) and which counter to go to. But as I was standing in line with my cute little girl waiting patiently with her basket of goodies, we had one K-girl cut us and then another man who obviously bought more than us cut us again. The store clerks acknowledge it by saying sorry but if we were waiting in line, pls. tend to us accordingly. Since I'm not Korean, I do tend to be cautious going inside and experiences like that make me think twice before entering. We were going to buy 2 Hello Kitty necklaces and a hairband =$55. I didn't realize one of the necklaces she chose was $20 so I told her to choose one and she ended up picking the expensive one which went down to $35. Maybe I would have dropped $55 if we were treated better, maybe not..but spending that much on little bitty stuff after being cut in front of twice didn't sit well with me. Anyways, I would like to come back again to see the other parts of the store without my boys waiting outside for us to finish. The store is super cute, super original and the cool Korean girl who was nice to us in the beginning is enough to lure me back despite what happened...and maybe give this store 4 stars if the service changes. read more

I have never felt so uncomfortable shopping in a store ever in my life. The employees stalk you and watch you but offer no help. They follow you as if you are ready to steal everything in site. Everything was ten times overpriced for what one would normally pay. This store caters to rich or people who are willing to spend blindly. If you are not Korean you may feel uncomfortable shopping there as well. It made me sick to see how those people worked there and the prices they had. Never the less after being stalked instead of helped we lingered around some more to see how much more they would follow us (which they did and humored us a bit) and then left without buying a thing. read more

I visited NY from CA this weekend for my cousin's wedding and I had some free time to roam the streets of Flushing. the sparkly-ness of the store caught my attention so I decided to take a look. I Love the wide selection of cute items from accessories, stationery, cloths, contact lens... I don't plan to buy everything but just being in the store makes me happy. I noticed that the 3 employees in the store were male, I joked with my mom that they are trying to attract customers! As other review have mentioned, the employees do hover and make you feel watched. they would also stand on a chair near the counter on occasion. We asked them about it and they say that it is because they often have to deal with shoplifters, so the manager requires them to be watchful. Which is fairly understandable to me since it is a big store with lots of blind corners and small trinkets that could easily be stolen. I liked this store, but still -1 star because I do not like being followed/chased through the store. but will visit again whenever I have the chance! read more

2 1/2 stars really. I came here with my boyfriend after we planed a visit to flushing. The place is very appealing to the eyes however, some of the things seem to be overpriced. I disliked that the workers hover over you. The working men seemed to fallow us everywhere kind of starring at what we were doing. it felt like they were worrying about us stealing something. We really didn't look like the type to steal, nor would we ever. It actually felt nice to leave the store because it was feeling uncomfortable there. in the end we bought very little just two pencils and some led. -In short, it wasn't my best experience there. But the cute things make you think about perhaps going back! read more

People work here are spying on you once you enter in this store. They think everyone come here for stealing their stuffs. I felt insulted so be careful! When I was looking at hair clip the girl who works there constantly watching me like I was gonna steal it or what? That is very rude. read more

Valentine sells many cute products from Sanrio with Hello kitty and such, it's very similar to morning glory and Banzai. The service is great but the employees tend to follow you around a bit which made me uncomfortable. I go there for all the cute Hair accessories they have, but they can be pretty expensive. The prices ranged from $3-$30!. They also have cute school supplies,jewelry, some clothes and cosmetics but I have yet to check those out. read more

I come here sometimes to buy gifts for my girlfriend It's a little on the expensive side, but the products are decent quality, so it's about alright (plus I think they're from overseas) This place gets 3 stars because the workers stalk you and it's downright scary read more

Super cute and bright store for stationary, plush toys, and slightly overpriced gifts for those young at heart. The guys here are very friendly and knowledgable on their items (even on the panda eye cream by the register). read more

Very cute little shop with lots of wonderful gifts. I came here to shop for my student's birthday present. They even have free gift wrapping and it looks very lovely. My student loves the gift and I'm very satisfied by the great friendly customer service here! read more

I have to go to Flushing every weekend for music classes and every time I always have about an hour to spare. I never want to go there again with all the people following and staring at you to see if you are stealing. I bought about 10 pens one time and yet I kept feeling like I was doing something bad with all their stares. I'm Korean and yet I felt like lifting my hands in the air while walking out to show that I had nothing in them :( There were two guys standing up on chairs watching people and there were four people behind the counters watching everyone walking out. read more

Valentine is awesome, it has all the cute stationary, Sanrio and San-x stuff I love! It also has some k-pop merch, cute hair stuff and clothes. The employees were very friendly and helpful, and the prices were fair. read more

********DO NOT pierce your ears here********** My review is only based on my experience from the ear piercing area of this store. It is BY FAR the most unsanitary place I've ever come across. I thought places like busy mall were bad, but this was the worst. 1. I wanted to have my concha pierce with a needle- he assured me he can do it with a gun. 2. He takes out his gun from a dirty plastic container that has been used on countless number of people- definitely does not look sanitary. I can't imagine how much germs and possible blood it is on the equipment. 3. He pour alcohol in a shot glass looking cup. 4. He uses the most rustiest wrench to grab a earring, swirls it around the alcohol for ONE second 5. Takes the wrench out and uses his FINGERS to adjust the earring. 6. He uses said finger to scratch his nostril and sniff his nose I SHOULD HAVE RUN FOR MY LIFE HERE but I was so traumatized, I was just staring in shock 7. He comes towards me, again fidgeting the earring with his fingers and sniffling 8. Tries to place the gun on my marked dot and rips my ear out because CLEARLY you can't pierce this area with his tiny gun 9. He relentlessly pulls on my ear until I finally say "this can't be done" This is literally the most disgusting place I've been to. I also question if this guy is certified to pierce ears. From the looks of it, he definitely does not. When my friend tried to record me getting my ears pierced, he told her not to. When she asked why, he just laughed. So, please. Do not get your ears pierced here. It's extremely unsanitary and dangerous. I have never seen anything like this. read more

There is a funny but also kind of rude story behind my experience shopping here at Valentine. Alright, so I typically don't go shopping in Flushing other than for groceries. But I was suddenly exposed to Korean beauty products and when I saw that they sold them here, I couldn't help myself but go in and check it out. On this occasion, I also brought my very good guy friend with me, who happens to be Korean. He didn't mind coming in with me but somehow, that kind of sent the wrong message to the sales associate, thinking we were a couple. I was doing my own perusing meanwhile my friend just pretty much followed me around. When I was about to pay, one of the female sales associate decided to grill my friend and said something in Korean that made my friend look bad. Essentially, she said something along the lines of why should he let his "girlfriend" pay since he's a guy..blah blah blah. I think she eventually knew I didn't understand what she was saying so she started to speak in English and pretty much said the same thing. I kind of laughed it off and gave her my money. But suddenly, her smile turned into a stern face and gave my friend the dirtiest and snobbiest look. We walked out of there laughing our hearts out but boy, it was a terrifying and awkward moment at the same time. read more

I went in with my friend and we spent 5 minutes just looking around. It was horrifically expensive. A little star necklace was 15 dollars. Makeup baskets on the floor. Never Again. My friend and I yelled "Cash me Ousside with these prices" because we hated it that much. read more

very bad service very overpriced and no refunds which was very annoying to many customers it is better to make ur customers happy then just for the money which is what this store was in my option which is the right option go to morning glory around the block it is way cheaper with the same things at valentines read more

I was in Flushing waiting for my boyfriend to get his haircut done. So I walk around in Flushing and I walk in the store called Valentines. They have pretty cool stuff. So I walk around looking at their stuff. And then I notice that a Korean employee butthead kept following me around. If i took one step, he will take one step. If I walk around the table, he will walk around the table. And I ask him why he kept following me around. And he said that his job. I didn't even have space to just shop as a shopper. When I pick up an item like he will get up all in my face staring at the item making sure I will put it back. So I basically told him that he basically telling a customer that their a shoplifter. I work in retail and I know how to give a great customer services. But this Korean guy did not know how to do his job and I think he is gay. I feel like he was racist because I wasn't a Korean. read more

When I went to flushing to hang out with my friends, we went inside Valentine after getting some bubble tea because it looked like a really cute store. The items were pretty and girly, such as some earrings and hairbands, however they were way overpriced. My Korean friend told me that those earrings cost around $2 in Korea and in Valentine it costed $35. It was seriously a rip off, and the quality isn't even that good. In addition, the workers in the store would stalk me and my friends as if we were going to steal something. It was very uncomfortable and plain creepy. The guy workers would also try to flirt with us and try to coax us into buying some Korean BB cream. That was really unprofessional and I view it as harassment. I also found out that the manager of the store ONLY hires good-looking Korean guys in order to coax and flirt with the female customers to make them buy some extremely expensive cosmetics. Not to mention, when we were walking out the store, the workers would stare at us all the way til we went out the door to check if we stole anything. I will not be coming back here again. The service was horrible and the stalking just made me feel rushed and not comfortable enough to buy any of the overpriced items. Even though the items were cute, it is not worth all the hassle. read more
