When you go here for the first time and interact with Mary you will understand what makes this…read moreplace so special. It is not just a business, but a passion. Mary is an entrepreneur that took a bold step in opening a boutique that is more than just a clothing store, but an business that focuses on the woman's spirit. I filled out a multiple page questionnaire that covered my size and my fashion needs, liked styles, and fashion concerns. Following that I scheduled an appointment that was convenient for me. After the fact I learned this appointment was past the stores normal business hours. When I arrived at the appointment she had a well presented snack and beverage ready for me and my friend. She also had an entire rack of clothes ready for me to try on as per my needs. She was very patient with me trying on clothes, took my opinions and critiques to heart, and came back with different selections based on that input. She was never pushy with me and even made a point to iterate that she did not want me to buy anything that I was not comfortable with. I left with several articles that day. She personally made an appointment for me at The Full Cup at La Promenade - another highly recommended boutique. The clothes that she has are of exceptional quality - something Mary prides herself on. I wear a pair of paints that I bought that day at least 2 or three times a week and they look fantastic. I purchased the pants 4 months ago and they hold up as if they are new. Since my first purchase I regularly receive emails and cards. The correspondence does not always promote the store, sometimes it is just to keep in touch. Mary greatly cares about her business and she does this by genuinely caring for her customers. I currently live in Washington DC, but I will always make a point to stop into her store when I am in the area. I cannot wait to see what she has I store for the future of her business.

But only had two -then finally added a third cashier. All while there were literally groups of staff on the floor and behind the counter. People were leaving the line (that had DOZENS) because they were waiting SOO LONG! And, there were groups of employees gathered within sight of this very long line that was snaking through the store. Just thought Mgt would want to know -it wasn't a good scene!! Lots of loyal NR customers that wanted to spend money-and not enough cashiers to help !!

I used to shop here all the time growing up to get my dance wear. For years they seemed to have…read moregood service, never had any issues but things went pretty downhill when I started needing pointe shoes. It's been a couple years since this happened and I now dance in Florida (I just went to a dance wear store down here and had a completely different experience which reminded me of my experience here and I wanted to warn others). The first time I got fitted for pointe shoes- the saleswoman (maybe in her 40s or 50s I would say? Not sure if she's the owner, had short black/brown hair at the time) was SUPER condescending about my feet and made me feel like I was a burden to her because my feet were "so flat" and made more than one comment about it. Mind you I was like 13 at the time and already insecure enough about my body. Whatever- it was my first time being fitted for shoes and it's like the only dance store in Virginia Beach so my mom and I just bought them and left. Getting your first pair is supposed to be fun and memorable and she tainted that experience for me. The second time- maybe a few months later- My dance teacher recommended I try new shoes because she wasn't sure if the ones I was given were the right fit anymore. When I went back, I brought my old pair but let them know what my dance teacher recommended about possibly trying a different brand and they let me know it was going to be I believe another $10 to be fitted for new ones. The woman (same one we had a poor experience with the first time) had me try on two pairs. Two. From the same brand as my old shoes because she said I just might need a different size. Wow what a time consuming process! Totally worthy of being tacked on a $10 fee! When my mother inquired more about the fee and expressed her frustration because the shoes were nearly $100 and that process only took her maybe 5 minutes- the saleswoman just yelled, complained, insulted my mother and said we could take our business elsewhere. So we did. Had to drive to a different store in Chesapeake, but I had a great experience, the saleswoman was very complimentary, had nothing but posts things to say about my feet and recommended a completely different brand to me that ended up feeling a thousand times better. No fee. She spent a good 20 minutes with me making sure they felt good. This was my go-to dance wear store growing up and it's really terrible this happened. Do better.

Newer location in the last 2 years. Very helpful staff that says a big hello when you walk in…read more Discounts off most items if you are at a dance school. Also 15% off if an ODC. New store is a little smaller than last it seems, but this one is all new in a nicer building and appealing. Store has a great inventory of most items you would want, or they can order. Parking lot was clean, but sidewalk had duck droppings outside the door and we were greeted by one that frightened by little girl to death. There are really not a lot of options for dance wear in this area and they are more central Virginia Beach with the move. We will keep coming back.

I was on my way to Green Tea and Pebble spa, and I was a little early. I am not usually in this…read morearea...So I am not familiar with any new stores. I pulled into the parking lot of the Golden Hour Boutique. As I was sitting in the parking lot. I saw the girls working rolling out some clothes on a rack. It looked like the clothes were cute, and was like "eh, I guess I can take a look" I walked up to the rack, and quickly loved what I was seeing. After getting a few looks of their clothes..I decided to see what else they had. When I walked in the smell of their store is AMAZING! I thought it was a perfume...but its not! They use some kind of filter to make their store smell the way it does! They had some cute dresses, outfits, accessories...Decent quality. They are kinda pricey though...for example...a dress was around $86...I had asked the girl if they were gonna have any upcoming sales, because by that time I had to leave for the spa...and didn't have any additional time to look any longer. She had told me that the next weekend they were having a pretty decent sale. So I had made not of that! The following weekend...I made it a point to roll through and try to get some dresses for my vacay. I had to bring my one year old...who unfortunately HATES sitting in a stroller. So I knew once I walked in there I had to be fast. When I showed up...I wasn't wrong...my son was throwing a fit...I had just drove an hour to this store...and had no time to really check it out...but saw the dresses that I wanted from the previous week! The associates kindly took my clothes and hung them up in a fitting room and gave me the chance to try them on. I picked out the ones I loved and purchased my items. I saved $300 bucks in sales and spent $300....I can say I will definitely be looking cute on my vacation with the cute dresses I got. They also threw in a free shirt, because I spent over $200. I will definitely be coming back.

Employees were all smiles; helped my daughter perform a gift exchange (with receipt/packing slip). Total was put on a gift card but required a picture ID and phone number to be connected with the return. When I asked the rep if it's a cool place to work, she replied "Yes, are they (my daughters) interested in working? I'm hiring!" Though they had 40% off sale sections/racks, I couldn't help but notice prices were still on the high side. Think $50 leggings and $60 sweaters is lofty (see what I did there?). They did have a designated section for 5'4" and under called "Loft Petites." Fair warning, though the sizes decrease, the prices do not! A few fitting rooms are present. My daughter ended up keeping the gift card because she didn't see anything that screamed "but me now!"

I've never had such an awful experience with any loft employee, including at the lynhaven location just 15 minutes away!
