I work across the street from this store (Encinitas location) I'm in sales and sell high volumes of…read morehigh end products. I pride myself in customer service and proper etiquette when dealing with the general public. I have now been in this store 3 times today being 12/8/22 approx. 2 pm. I have been greeted poorly every.single.time. The first 2 times I don't think the woman working even acknowledged I had walked in and today the sales associate gave a underwhelming hello and didn't ask if "I was looking for anything in particular?" "Can I help you find a Christmas gift?" "Let me know if you have any questions at all, I am here for anything you may need" and there was nothing as I left the store either "Thanks so much for coming in" "Have a great day!" Are just a few things you can say when you work in retail. If this wasn't the 3rd visit with the same treatment I wouldn't be leaving a review this thorough but I really felt the owner needs to know. They do have really cute items for purchase in there but the staff is rude and seems to maybe only cater to customers who have a certain look to them? Just a guess. Do better in the customer service department and you'd make more sales! I would have been willing to buy a necklace I saw in there today and really cute MYSTIQUE sandals if I was at least treated like an actual customer but I can't support this business.

The store is adorable, with careful attention to details and has something for everyone from women, to men and children.

I want to start this review by saying that the store itself and the people that work there are…read moregreat. The issue I have is with the quality of the merchandise and perhaps some misinformation. I purchased an 18k gold double plated choker necklace by House of Sacred Flame that cost $236. I specifically asked about the double gold plating because I wanted to make sure that it was not going to tarnish. The salesperson assured me that if I made sure that the necklace did not come in contact with any oils or lotions on my skin then it would stay the gorgeous gold color it was. Less than 5 months after I purchased it (and followed the instructions to the letter) the necklace is tarnished. I have reached out to the manufacturer, House of Sacred Flame, but have not heard back from them. This is a cautionary tale for those who shop at this store and perhaps a point of reflection for the person who selects which merchandise to sell.

I went in to the store, thinking how cute it was, and told the gal there that I would love to exchange them for something else in the store. I had the gift receipt. Long story short, she would not budge on her 14 day return policy! I even offered to forfeit the full retail price and use the sales price of the other 2 pair hanging on the rack in the store. Given it was a gift and my friend probably purchased them a little while prior to my Birthday, a 14 day period is far too short and ridiculous when you are talking about a gift. Not to mention she was unpleasant aswell. Sad to say I shall never be returning to that store again, and will urge my friends to do the same.

This boutique shop is fabulous! I have been looking for a bathing suit to match my body, and I…read morewalked out with two bathing suits! My figure is definitely not model status; I am 5'1, B-cup, slimmer waist, thicker hips, and bigger butt than most girls. Lots of bathing suits in other stores are made for tall, skinny girls which is not me so it's hard for me to find a good bathing suit. With that said I was willing to spend the money if it looked good on me, especially since it's a very revealing piece of clothing. Julie had me try on around 10 different bathing suits to test my style (from one piece to flush to patterned), and I really had a blast doing it. My husband loved most of the bathing suits but in the end we chose two two-piece Brazilian cuts (lots of butt showing) that were either sporty or islander styles. Lots of bathing suit shops in San Diego do not carry Brazilian cuts because it is too risque, but Julie's had a huge selection. I LOVE my bathing suits as they were so flattering to my curvy body. Once I'm in Ibiza I will definitely add photos to this review to show off the bathing suits. Thank you Julie!

My venture in finding a new wallet was achieved in store, but I also left with a new sport jacket and pocket square for a fun evening out on the town. John's knowledge in tailoring expertise ensured me that I was getting the best fit possible. The look was not complete without a pocket square. That was the cherry on top of the sundae. I walked out of the store feeling confident, stylish, yet true to my aesthetics. I recommend The Ascot Shop La Jolla as the premier destination for men's fashion with service to match high-quality goods. I will certainly return during my next trip to Ja Jolla in search for the new pieces to upgrade my wardrobe.

I went to pick it up and it's a very nice men's store. I told the employee how thankful I could get this because I wanted this style for my husband's birthday. Then he offered to put it in a box with a bow. I would definitely recommend this clothing shop for great brands and excellent customer service.
