Going into the store you are overwhelmed with pink fluffiness. They have pretty good prices and their hair clips are good quality. I've found many times that hair clips will snap easily, so finding some that work for more than a month is awesome. They had some great pirates stuff when the movie came out and that was a huge plus for several of my friends who dressed up for the premiere of the third movie. I gave it four stars cause I can't stand the music they play.

To my pleasant surprise we got to meet Jill and she was so wonderful!! Her studio was welcoming and everything in it was stylish and special, I could have spent hours in there with her. She helped with styling the jewelry I was looking at and it was an extremely pleasant, no pressure, jewelry buying experience. I highly recommend shopping with her if you're looking for something special, or even just to add an everyday piece of jewelry. It is all amazing quality and you can't go wrong with anything in her studio - will definitely be sending my husband there for future gifts!

Jessica, her experienced sales associate, is kind and friendly and represents the JBJ brand quite well. In addition to Jill's JBJ creations, you can find bags, purses, clutches, clothing, belts, and other goodies from brands that Jill has carefully curated.

The two times I've been here, the employees have been more than happy to help me, which I have been…read moresooo thankful for. My first visit was when I was in need of shoes to wear for an interview a girl helped me choose the shoe and the color. Today I was in need of basically my first pair of jeans if you can believe it. I was helped by a girl named Lizzy, I believe her name was, as I was told at the register when I asked. She asked if I needed help and she offered to pick out some straight leg jeans in my size. I ended up leaving with a pair of jeans that fit me perfectly thanks to her suggestions and feedback! It was about $138 at the register, which is a little steep for one pair, but I'll happily pay the price for a pair of jeans that fit me perfectly in the waist, fit my 5'1" frame, and feel soft and comfortable and not scratchy at all. I got the 90's Straight in a 25P. (Thank god they have petite lengths!!!) Super happy with my purchase thanks to Lizzy and will be back for another pair eventually :)

When I entered the store, I was immediately greeted. I told Lea, a stylist there, that it was my first time in a Madewell store. I let her know what I was looking for. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable, helping me find my size, the jeans that fit me best, etc. as well as a top and a few accessories. I wasn't even looking for a shirt, but she was such a great stylist, she convinced me! If you are looking for a fantastic experience and help finding the right outfit for you, ask for Lea!

I knew about this place as a friend gifted me a pair of earrings & a necklace from here on my birthday (which I wear everyday and was hoping I could gift my cousin a staple jewelry piece from here as well). When I entered, I was kindly greeted by two young ladies and was very casual and clear about what I was looking for. Jasmine helped me look at the popular gifts that fit with my budget and was quick to answer any questions I had along with pointing me to different pieces that my cousin may like. We went with a necklace & an initial with a heart which was super cute and the price was not bad at all. I was worried at the thought of my cousin not loving the gift, but Jasmine reassured me that we can get her a gift certificate which eased my nerves and helped me follow through without overthinking the transaction. I definitely plan to come back to get myself a gift, I loved seeing the return of the chunky charm bracelets & would love to come in and build one overtime with them. Thank you Jasmine for your patience, friendliness, and fabulous service!

She made both of us feel so comfortable and really wanted to know what we liked. I was pretty anxious going into it but she made the experience so easy. She asked so many questions about what I'm looking for and what's most important to me. She also was genuinely interested in our relationship and who we are. I left toward the last 15 minutes of the appointment so Lyss could talk to my boyfriend about pricing and logistics and he said she was not pushy at all to sell. We were offered waters and chocolates, and each consultant in there was incredibly kind and welcoming. It was truly a great environment. All in all this was an amazing experience and we truly owe it to Lyss. Thank you so much!

This was my boyfriend and I's first experience engagement ring shopping. We expected to leave the appointment with more understanding and knowledge. Our appointment was with Michelle. She was initially nice, but when it came down to our questions regarding differences of the 4 C's, we felt she did not explain nor provided much knowledge to us. This was meant to be an experience for not only I, but my boyfriend which she didn't really acknowledge much until it came down to talking prices. My boyfriend was also taking notes, but Michelle insured that she'll be sending an email with notes, information, and everything we discussed. The email we received was just links to the rings.. We did have a limited selection of diamonds to see in person, however, there was not much to compare in person because most of the diamond option were interested in were shown on screen on their regular website. We have now gone elsewhere and had a much better experience. All in all, it was just mainly trying on different rings, but glorified.

I thought I could get away with wearing my everyday sneakers and old tennis racket that had been hanging out in my closet but after 3 classes and pain in my feet and hand, I googled a tennis shop and Mriva Sports popped up. I swung (no pun intended) by one afternoon, needing shoes and a new racket. He had a nice selection of court shoes and after a trying on several brands, I found one that felt snug and supportive for my feet needs. For a racket, he was able to give me an overview of types of rackets, grip size (turned out that I needed a smaller grip size), weight, etc. Since I didn't know what type of racket I wanted - control vs power, he suggested trying out his program of trying out different rackets each week over the course of a month for $25. I have worn the court shoes several times now and it has been so comfortable when running around on the court. No longer do my feet hurt. For the rackets, I came back after a week and decided which racket I liked. It turned out to be a power racket. Deepak strung it and I was able to pick it up the next day. I played with the racket and wow, it made so much of a difference when hitting the ball. No hand pain. Deepak is really knowledgeable and helpful about tennis equipment. I would definitely return for my tennis needs. Thank you! Oh and there are a couple of parking spaces for Mriva Sports in the back.
