    Grumpy employee who yelled at me for coming in before they were open then went in the back to drink her Starbucks
    Mara M.

    I got here at 11:55 am and walked in the open door. A cranky girl in cat ears yelled "We're not open yet!" and stormed off into the back of the store where I saw her just drinking her Starbucks. I went back outside and waited until 12 pm when she glared aggressively at me and flipped a sign on the door from closed to open before opening the door and storming off into the back of the store. No hello or offer to help me find anything. I left without buying anything and will not be back. If you're going to work in customer service, you shouldn't be angry when you have to *gasp* serve a customer. I would recommend going to Mileage in PB instead - much better selection and friendly, helpful employees!

    Cameras in the dress rooms

    Came here for the first time today and never will I ever come back. I was looking around and the clothes seemed okay and I found some stuff that look interested and decided to try them on. Let me ask why is it that when I look up at the mirror I see a camera pointing directly to where I was changing. I was completely undressed the moment I realized it. Top off/ bra off/pants off. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. I felt expose. I didn't even anything. I changed and walked out. I didn't even want to make a scene I felt so embarrassed.

    AMAZING! I feel like a have found a gem of a place! Pam, the owner, was so kind and very helpful. She even disclosed that they make all their clothing in shop, which I find to be such a unique aspect of this store! Also, the prices are better than what I have seen online. Each piece I had found was under $30 and the material is amazing quality ! Definitely be back!

    Aphrodite's closet is amazing! Pam is so talented. I bought belly dancing outfits from her, and lingerie. She also does commissions! Definitely the best lingerie store.

    Conveniently located next to Hustler's Stip Club, they sell a wide variety of hoochie mama and stripper clothing. How perfect could that be? TONS of cute clothes and costumes. They also have all the shoes, accessories, stockings, wigs, etc. that you could possibly need. If you work next door and are looking to change things up because the customers aren't diggin your current threads, head on over and select an outfit. If you're looking to spice things up with your main squeeze, this is the go-to place. If you're looking for a Halloween costume that isn't the same as what every other girl will have, this is the place to come. Or if you're just looking for a unique outfit, you'll find it here. Their dressing room is pretty sweet because you have the option of choosing regular lighting or a more club type of lighting (blue, black and red lights). The saleswomen were very nice, personable and helpful.

    It fits perfect everywhere.

I've shown this store to my mom because most of their stuff is her style. This past Saturday, I had 3 parties to go to back to back.

I came to Sara's Boutique as soon as they opened at 10am and Kasandra started collecting dresses that would work for the occasion and my petite frame.

I loved walking in and seeing the treasure trove of pieces that caught my immediate attention. The prices on everything are moderate. They haven't raised their prices much over the years which is amazing. I couldn't help myself, Kassandra, Sara's daughter, was assisting us and the other patrons in the shop. She was lovely! She somehow knew without me saying or mentioning or even touching that I am a pantsuit girl. She brought me two and I was sold...hook, line, and sinker! I tried on both that she brought to me and they fit like a glove. The styles and patterns were different between the two and not something I've seen in any other store which is one of the many things that makes Sara's such a gem. Thank you, Sara's (and Kassandra), for making downtown La Mesa that much more special!

She has glasses and streaks in her hair - I forgot her name, but if I remember it I will gladly share it. My boys are children - sometimes they are a little noisy, but nothing unusual. On one occasion, they were simply standing in line and talking a bit, and she immediately told them to be quiet. I honestly didn't understand - is this a hospital or a clothing store? On another visit, she literally followed us around the store. No matter what my children did, she kept finding reasons to comment and correct them, to the point that they started feeling uncomfortable and even afraid of her. No customer or child should feel that way while shopping. It doesn't matter how good the merchandise or prices are - this is not how you treat customers. The store is large and often messy, yet instead of managing staff or organizing the store, she seemed focused only on my children. When I asked for her name, she loudly said my name back to me and told me I was welcome to file a complaint, as if this is something she's used to hearing. Very disappointing behavior and extremely unprofessional!!!!!!!. I expected much better.

    I got my wedding dress at Prevue Bridal about a month ago and had such a great experience here!…read more The associate was so kind and made me feel very comfortable. Unfortunately, I'm horrible with remembering names, but I was there January 10th and my appointment was at 3:30 PM (hope this helps get her a shout out).

This was my very first wedding dress appointment and I was suprised to have found the perfect dress so quickly. The prices were also very reasonable compared to other places I was looking into. Definitely recommend Prevue bridal!

    I drove over an hour in heavy traffic with a friend to shop for a wedding dress and was turned away…read morebefore even making it through the door. On Tuesday, March 3, I called at 3:27 PM while driving from the UTC area. I saw 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM appointments available, indicating they were fairly open that afternoon, but explained I wasn't comfortable entering my credit card information online because reviews mention a strict 15-minute late charge policy. I told the associate I would try my best to make the 4:30 PM slot, and that if other brides arrived before me they should take priority. I also said that if it looked like I could arrive within the 4:45 PM grace period, I would enter my information while driving. I was communicating proactively because that day a fiery fatal tractor-trailer crash shut down southbound I-805 near I-8 for roughly 12 hours, creating traffic chaos across San Diego. As traffic worsened on the 52 East, my ETA slipped to about 4:48 PM. At 4:25 PM, I called again to explain that I likely wouldn't arrive before 4:45 PM and wanted to avoid being charged the late fee. I asked what options were available. I was simply trying to communicate proactively and avoid being charged for something outside of my control. I was repeatedly told that because I was not already in their appointment system before 4:30 PM, they could not help me at all. I suggested several reasonable options: (1) marking me as arrived so I could finish driving safely, or (2) simply working with the situation, but every suggestion was rejected. They offered to apply the $50 late fee towards a dress, but couldn't answer what would happen if I didn't find my dress there. The conversation continued in circles. At that point I was about 10 minutes away and would have arrived at 4:48 PM, just three minutes past their grace period. Despite calling ahead, communicating honestly, and making every effort to come to their store, they refused to accommodate me. My friend had come with me to help look for a wedding dress, so the situation unfortunately wasted both of our time. We ended the call around 4:40 PM, and I turned around and drove home. Ironically, at 4:45 PM, the store called back with a workaround: if I made an appointment for the next day, they could simply mark me as "arrived" in their system and take me in immediately. This made it clear they had the capacity to help the entire time, but had chosen to rigidly enforce their process instead of welcoming business. When I pointed this out, I was told they have been in business for 40 years, which makes the lack of flexibility and basic customer consideration all the more surprising. Based on this experience, I'm glad I learned how this business operates before even walking through the door. It doesn't inspire confidence in how customers are treated once they've committed, and it's not the kind of experience that would make me feel comfortable trusting them with something as personal as a wedding dress.

Cinnamon did my photos and it's OBVIOUS she has decades of experience. Her personality was so vibrant but calming. The first questions she asked were about my comfort level, what I was ok with showing and not ok with showing. Asked a lot of questions about what my goal for the shoot would be. It made me feel very safe and comfortable. She had me get in my first outfit and pointed out things I never would have thought of like deodorant on my underarms. She gave clear direction on posing and made the whole process so much fun. I forgot I was there for a photoshoot. It seemed effortless for her. She took time after my shoot to answer any questions I had about the next steps in the process. After the shoot I got the edited photos 3 days later which is a crazy turn around time. The album came with very clear instructions on how to view and select photos or packages for purchase. I was also given multiple reminders to make my selections before the cut off time which my ADHD brain really appreciated.

That's the magic--she makes you feel so comfortable, so confident, so beautiful that the insecurity doesn't even get an invite to the shoot. And let's talk about Cinnamon because whew --an absolute delight. Loved her instantly. Her energy? Immaculate. Her vibe? Safe, fun, empowering. Her makeup skills? She made me feel comfortable, polished, and like that girl from start to finish. If you've been thinking about booking but hesitating--this is your sign. Book the shoot. Period. I literally told her yesterday this is now my every-five-years tradition. This was round two, and best believe I'll be back again in 2031. Confidence boost? Secured. Experience? Unmatched.
