My male friend went to zara's this week and purchased a blazer. The sales associate crumpled it in a bag and he asked if they could not do that and hang it and he said the associate just rolled his eyes and gave him the bag. Ok now if they couldn't do it just say so but no need for the attitude. What is wrong with their customer service? read more

The one star is for the one employee there who was actually helpful. The rest of them - all 20 or more - were wandering around looking busy but not interacting with customers whatsoever! All I needed to do was exchange one for one items of different sizes. The check out is SUPER slow - they actually take the time to put the sensors back on the purchased items before he would exchange them for the new sizes I needed. I'm telling you, it was mind numbing to participate in their checkout/ exchange process. read more

Jeebus kryste. I love this store. Caught a great sale a few days ago. 8$ for a nice shirt ;D This is definitely one of my favorite stores in the Galleria. My only problem are the price tags, but that's not to be expected considering my college student job/budget! I've read most of the other reviews and they mention the low quality of the clothing, but I haven't experienced anything of the sort yet. I hope it stays that way! I think if I won the lottery I'd buy the store out :( Clothes for me and very nice clothes for my boyfriend! read more

I am so in love with Zara! As Houstonians, I think we're really lucky for the Galleria to include this store! I know not many malls in different states contain a Zara, so that's a brownie point for us! I think it's pretty cool when I hear my friends from other states are traveling to Houston just to make a shopping trip at Zara :) Makes me feel as if I have a little of the upper hand living over here (sorry!) At Zara, there's always something to buy; something you'll always lay eyes on. Whether from their classy to casual clothes, to their super sexy strappy heels-- you're bound to find something. Trust. I enjoy looking through the Men's Department for my boyfriend's clothes! They looks are gorgeous! Cons: They need a Zara kids! That'll be greatest thing to happen to my nieces and nephew :) read more

Cashier was extremely unfriendly. I don't get it. If you work in a place like this you need to like it and if you don't just keep a big smile on your face cause it's not the customers fault that you hate your job! read more

I remember when Zara used to be a place where I could go and was guaranteed to find something that I liked. Recently, the quality has become more like H&M and the quantity has increased tenfold. This store in particular used to be my fave before the much needed remodeling. Now that Zara is expanding everywhere in the Houston area, I feel like it has lost it's cuteness to me. I remember a time when their sales associates used to be helpful and would dress up for coming to work. Now it created an environment where that one friend of yours was one shot away from depresso. Their sales never have anything that I am looking for and their regular priced items feel like they are made with really cheap fabrics. The products no longer have a good finish. There was a sports jacket that I tried on and the inside of the sleeve literally had so many threads coming out of it like it was rushed out of a sweatshop so that the material would reach the US from Bangladesh before a labor union raid or something. I am sorry Zara, but I am done with trying to make it wit chu. read more

As a Spaniard I love Zara. It's my style and I can go literally three times a month. This is the first ZARA in the world where they ask you to put your clothes on the hunger once you are done in the fitting room. That is not the customers job! read more

One of my favorite stores to shop at. They have super cute, high fashion clothes for good prices and good quality, they have great sweaters and jeans and they have amazing options for all sizes and they have great and helpful service read more

Saw something on the return rack that I wanted to purchase and they said they could not sell it to me for 48 hours. I asked multiple employees to confirm this and they said yes. I wanted to make sure I would not miss out on the last of this clearance item and they said to come back at 11 in two days. I rushed to the store to get there at 11 that day and they said they didn't open until 12. I asked if they could at least see if the item was there so I wouldn't need to wait for an hour and they said no--we're closed. Their customer service doesn't begin until 12pm Sunday. read more

This Zara has everything. I don't usually shop at Zara but I bought several things at this location because I saw quite a few items I liked. I went during Labor Day weekend so it was slammed. The baby clothes there were soo cute (I do not have a baby *yet). I got a sick pair of black edgy leather like pants with zippers on the sides of the pants, a red jumper for my girlfriend's birthday present, and a a tiger sweatshirt that I found in the boy's section. All in all I am bringing some cute clothes back to LA. read more

I LOVE zara! You can always walk in and find something! They always have amazing womens shoes. The jeans are priced good. $40-$60 and have an amazing fit. It's always stocked with cute dresses, skirts, pants, everything! Of course their designs are knockoffs of trends set by major design names, but, helloooo, that's what all the clothing stores/boutiques do, so it's nothing new. I wish they had ZARA kids like in other countries :( The mens department is very small, and only sometimes have good stuff, in the winter they always have cool jackets. You can mostly find formal wear for work. (( Yes, the quality is not the best, but its not bad either. I think it varies case by case, and personally I can tell what kind of fabric will get saggy or lint balls. )) The only thing I don't like about this place are the snobby sales reps. :/ Overall: STOP BY AND FALL IN LOVE! read more

Love love love. I always get home with lots of happiness and satisfaction after traveling to Zara. Zara 's fashionable, always on trend and high quality. I love everything there. Their staffs were not that friendly at all but they were always ready to help. Last time I was looking for a new arrival dress I saw posting on zara.com a night before but I could not see it anywhere in store. I asked someone there and I got it quickly in 5 mins. So happy read more

Purchased 2 pairs of Jeans for my 13 year old on November 1st of this year, gave them to her on Christmas Day (and she was not happy with the style) - tried to exchange them on the day after Christmas and was informed that as it was over 30 days from my purchase that they were only exchangeable for the exact same product in a different style. I would suggest not shopping at Zara at all, but if you feel that you have to .. wait until mid December so that the person you are buying for has an opportunity to exchange. read more

Love love this store. You can always find something here that's reasonably priced but with better quality than the other fast-fashion sores. Zara clothes aren't disposable like F21 and is much classier. I can find nice business casual here, cocktail attire... Even jeans and layering basics that are all very cute, fit well, and last through the washing machine. Also their hand bags are something to look at while you're there. Some are made from real leather, not all, and they always have a decent price tag. Zara is from Spain and truly reflects the sleek simple European look... Great for 25-35 year old range, not a teeny bop store. read more

Poor customer service! Don't know why I keep shopping here! Maybe because the clothes are cute?! When I find a good deal online and then need to return or exchange in the store, I remember why I keep telling myself I wont shop here again. Just seems like the associates are none too eager to assist. read more

Worst customer service ever. These people doesn't even know how to check out, hence, always long line. How many bad reviews this store need to take action? read more

Great clothes, love the style. Quality could be better, but decent considering price. Employees are HORRIBLE! Twice I have shopped in store. Both times I left pissed off. I will be doing all my shopping online or in a different city from now on. read more

This location left me bitter about the customer service that zara "provided". Before I proceed, I'd like to skim through the quality of the items before expressing my frustration about this particular store. Zara used to provide such great quality for their brand but recently most of the items lacked elasticity and the material no longer feels like what I paid for. If anything all the blouses feels like polyester and the graphic tees shrinks/ fade within 3 washes (I'm not even exaggerating, all my shirts looked like they came out of a thrift store). Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who gets riled up when my clothes goes to waste but they fit my style so I somehow always get lured in... yes, I'm aware that my logic isn't completely there, but bare with me. Styles are always up to date and I like how Zara has a specific theme to them that I can't seem to fall for in other stores, their fit is also another factor. Their consistency in selecting styles to sell is generally the reason why I still lurk on their website. Back to this particular store's customer service. I'm an employee at another retail so I'm aware of policies and how to maintain a respectful attitude towards those who work in the same industry as I do. As I walked in the first thing I noticed was how stoic the workers looked. All the workers there seemed like they hate their job... I get that retail is a horrid job and you don't get paid enough to put up with the crap that the job entails, but does anyone not believe in work ethics anymore? (I mean, not to sound pretentious or anything) I went into the store to ask if my items were still good for returns since I forgot their return policy. On my receipt, it told me that I would be able to get store credit if I was unable to return it within the allotted time (or so that's what I thought I had read). The cashier told me that my return had expire and she would not take it back, and they were not able to issue me store credit. Which was fine since it's store policy. A lady with short black hair and glasses comes up to me and told me to call customer service and "they would tell me the same thing" with the most distasteful look on her face and her tone did not give an ounce of decency to want to help me. She acted like I gave her an attitude or even uttered a word to her... I was so shocked that I just walked away silently because wtf? yeah that's literally what I thought as I walked out. Apparently, she was the manager so I was like great, an asshole manager. I'm an avid online shopper so I'll probably stick to that from now on. I did come back to the store once for a last minute dress pickup but that was it. The one star was mainly for this store! The brand would be a bit higher (3/5 stars) read more

i checked online beforehand that this store has my item. but i couldn't locate it so i flagged down an associate for help. immediately he said they don't have the item after showing a picture. he then told me to go look in the sale section. he didn't even bother to check. i left without buying anything. they should have reserve on line option. read more

Zara - x - Women's Clothing Near Me - Houston, Texas

I lived on Zara when I lived in barcelona. I was superpsyched to see it at the Galleria, but my oh my, this is not the Zara of my Euro-wandering days! Poor quality, high prices, and everything is smushed together everywhere in a big mess! And no, I am not just talking about the sale racks, those are pretty impossible to navigate, although i'm sure you can find a great deal if you dig through enough stuff, just make sure it's not half threadbare before you even buy it! read more

I read some reviews from the guys on here for the Zara in the Galleria and I have to confirm their experiences all seem to be true. For some reason, the houston Zara thinks it is better than it really is. In San Francisco or New York, Zara has a way more casual and mainstream atmosphere, almost like a Gap for people out of high school. In Houston, the sales associates seem to think they're working at some avant-garde high-end store. I've never been offered assistance once, and when I do ask for help for things such as moving something stored at the top of the display down to see, they're usually SO LAZY about it. One time an associate literally said "Oh just look at it from here and decide if you like it first." What does that even mean?! And it's not like they're busy, they are usually just standing behind a computer with the screensaver going. Or they're dramatic guys dressed like they're a wannabe fashion blogger running around like headless chickens acting busy and flustered eventhough they're not actually helping anyone or running any errands. Seriously, just have your eyes follow one of those sales guys who just seems to be all over the floor, it's like he's playing human pinball by himself with the sides of the store. As for the clothing options, the Zara Galleria one lacks a lot of the options that are in hipper cities and that are available online. Based off how this review is going, it should not be surprise that the stuff I do buy at Zara are from their online webstore which have more options and are oddly more user friendly than the actual people they hire. read more

If u want customer service, don't shop here. First of all one of the salespeople couldn't even speak English. They were having a store wide sale and we picked out a blazer that was marked $69.99 along with a 100 other blazers marked the same. Unfortunately the tag on the jacket I wanted fell off by the time I got in line. When they went to ring it up they said it was $149! My wife went back to the rack & grabbed the exact same jacket in a different size w/ a price tag but they refused to sell the size I wanted at the same price. They said we can buy the other size for the sale price but not the size we wanted! Are u f-ing kidding me?! There were other sizes of the EXACT same jacket at the sale price but they insisted the size I wanted was a different price....WOW! read more

The service is terrible!!!! They never pick up a call. The associates do not offer assistance. I'm not sure who the manger is but they need send them to classes on customer service and then use a score card to measure their levels of service. I decided to shop elsewhere. read more

We were shopping and trying on some clothes at Zara, before hand we asked if "two people could enter the dressing room? " and the attendant told us not a problem. But ten minutes later another attendant yelled behind the curtain demanding someone to get out immediately. "Store policy only allows one person in the dressing room!" When we attempted to explain, we were treated unfairly and talked down too. When addressed to the store manager, we received a generic apologize. We've shopped in Zara in Buenos Aires, loved the service and it's impossible to believe this treatment in USA, employees need to receive "Ethic's training and some form of customer service courses" before being allowed to assist customers. Customer service ruins to good quality products in the store. read more

They have some fun fashion but their staffing and customer service is unbeatable, I cannot shop at this location. I do like the Seattle store and would rate it a star higher, read more

Ive noticed that at this specific location, the zara employees are the absolute worst. They never greet me at the door nor the dressing rooms. Also waiting in line takes forever. No, not because there are so many people in line, its because the employees like to do things super slow on purpose. Ive never seen such laziness and rudeness at any other zara store. The clothes are super cute but i didn't buy because I dread having to deal with those employees. read more

Cute clothes but the customer service is awful. Huge lines not enough help. Several registers not opened --- it's the weekend. Who runs this place? And for crying out loud get some employees that smile. Only giving it two stars because the clothes are cute. Other then that will never come here again. Not worth the lines and etc. read more

Zero selection, horrible customer service. Workers are not knowledgeable. Place is a mess and unorganized.

I can usually find some great, affordable clothing here. Their prices range greatly from item to item but can accommodate almost any budget. Their handbags are also priced really well and on trend. I think of Zara as a fast fashion store hit with much better quality. This was my first time actually coming to this location on a Saturday and all I can say is wow! Kudos to the staff for constantly folding and straightening up the sales floor. Every time I saw them they had a handful of clothes that needed to be hung up or refolded. The line for the fitting room was ridiculous, intimidating and cut my shopping trip short because I did not want to wait in that line. I would suggest going on a weekday if possible. The mayday at this location was a huge turn off. read more

Great clothing store that keeps up with the trends. The clothing isn't overly expensive, but the quality is definitely good. I have never had anything fall apart or rip. I am so glad they have updated the store and made it larger! read more

I totally agree with the rest of the reviews, the one star goes for the clothes that are very nice and unique (especially the coats and jackets) and the good sizes for small people like me. The lack of more stars is due the horrible customer service, the workers there walk around the store like zombies and don't bother to help or ask if you need anything, the ones at the registers don't even make eye contact as if you were to ask for an autograph. I really hope the supervisors or owners see these comments and do something about it, it is a shame that such a great store hires these good for nothing people. read more

I agree with Farrah, their prices have seemed to go up, yet their fashion sense has gone out the window and the quality of their material hasn't changed. Last year - everytime I've gone I've left there with at least something! This year i've gone numerious times and not once have I seen anything i've liked so far. :( read more

I'm sorry Zara. Your deals and sales do not make up for the horrific store management at this location. The store manager needs to train the staff to actually manage the fitting room. Due to the nonchalant attitude of the staff, it was 30 min before they realized the fitting room had 5 empty and unused rooms. Oh by the way the line waiting for a fitting room was at 15 people for 20 min. Because someone forgot to check if the rooms were actually occupied... read more

This store has great products; however, I'm not sure if any of the employees at the register have an ounce of common sense left in their brain!!! They left every single sensor on my purchase of 4 items! 4 ITEMS!!! Best of all, I leave Houston tomorrow morning so I don't have the opportunity to go remove these sensors from my clothing and will have to probably go through extreme efforts to be able to wear any of the clothing I purchased. Check the damn clothes before you give it to the customer - SIMPLE. read more

Excellent quality clothing, awesome leather shoes and bags at great prices, full of color and a little different from the run of the mill options at the mall. If you catch their sales, you won the lotto, because they are BIG sales. I went there in July (twice!) and did not get any item for more than $10.00, except a pair of comfortable cobalt blue suede shoes for $19.00. For teens, young adults, and young-at heart-whatever-your-age, male and female. Items are cool, elegant but almost on the edge, always stylish. Regular prices are moderate to expensive, but like I said, sales are super! read more

Ah Zara what to say where to start. Since, I am reviewing this for this location I want to be fair. This is still by far my favorite clothing store but the issue is the men's selection is rather small. However, it's not as big an issue because of their amazing return policy. Free returns to any store is a major reason I shop here aside from their style of course. I usually order the same shirt with different sizes and return the size that doesn't fit. The employees are helpful and returns are easy. It usually gets packed but lines go relatively fast. As stated previously only the selection is a negative but I don't put too much blame on them, I'll just buy and test the sizes and return. read more

I love this store! The clothes are well organized! Affordable prices! The staff always are ready to help.

This place has one of the WORST customer service I have experienced in a while. There were 5 people behind the counter chit chatting while only 2 were working the register to check people out! Also, the girls in the dressing room were not helpful AT ALL! Never going back nor will I make any future purchases here. read more

Runaway guyssss!!! Horrible customer service I ever meat, the stuff is just unprofessionals and I guess they are just coming to spent their time and get their salary as a sales they r 0!!! The worst sales stuff I ever meat...Awful!!!! read more

It's 11 o'clock, and we've been here 30 minutes waiting to checkout behind one customer. There's about 10 other employees at the side, just standing and joking around. Another lady got tired of waiting and threw her stuff down and left. It's the worst managing I've seen. Props to the single cashier behind the counter read more
