10/10 Experience - We did the candle making class for Valentines Day. For each candle making…read moresession you're guided throughout the entire process. After you check in at the register, they offer a complementary glass of Rosé or Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Juice. (You also have the option the bring your own bottle of wine) Afterwards, they show you the wall of vessels you'll make your candle in and a quick backstory about them and their multi-functional purpose. Then, they show you to the fragrance wall to smell and choose your scent. Then, they bring you back to the table to guide you through making your candle step by step. Once you start it goes by very quickly and next thing you know you're done! Takes about 3hrs for the candle to set and they let us know when your candle is finished. You can come back and they'll refill it for $10 with the same scent or a different scent. The class itself is $40 per person but a detailed guided experience, multiple vessel options, multiple fragrance options, and a pretty quick turnaround is well worth it!

Candles, jewelry, and some pretty spectacular art work. We ended up buying three pieces that I think will look fantastic in our home though we haven't figured out where to put them yet. All were very reasonably priced and ready to hang. The young lady manning the fort was very friendly, personable, and helpful. I love that she allowed us to touch the paintings! You don't get that courtesy at a lot of places. And free stickers! If you're in the Troutman area you should definitely stop by!

I would have spent WAY too much money here. The candles smell wonderful, come in a wide variety of scents, and are available in a breadth of sizes - as a matter of fact, their website states "We have 80 different wonderful fragrances we use to scent our handcrafted jar candles, pillars and votives." You can tell that the people here take pride in the craftmanship behind their candles, and they also offer various pottery selections - specifically, a wide variety of mugs, bowls, vases as well as candles trays - in the store. The staff is very welcoming as well - happy to answer any questions you have about what's available in the store. I just wish they shipped their wonderful candles!

I was overwhelmed with the options. I ended up purchasing a large jar candle which was $30 and burns for 145 hours. The size just below this one was $28 and burns for 95 hours. The scent I decided on was a mango sangria of sorts. I forgot the exact title. It's also new so it's not on their website. But the website does have a complied list of all their scents! And they offer shipping! I also bought several of their little small candles that burn for 10 hours. Because I bought 6 of them, I got a free glass container! Ive burned my mango sangria candle and LOVE it! You've really gotta keep the wick trimmed because it burns super bright and big! But it burns evenly and after a few hours it doesn't even look like it's been burned. I can already tell I'll get my monies worth.

Communication for email notification was standard from order confirmation, to shipment notification with tracking number and order fulfillment for delivery. No comment for customer service as I did not need to utilized. I have a predilection for tulle, chiffon mesh fabric and embroidery incorporated in my clothing when shopping. Such fabrics as tulle, chiffon mesh are a very hard find. Hip Chics Boutique appeared in my Google extensive search, but I could not possibly travel to North Carolina for shopping and was glad to order online for one measly targeted coveted item. Pink Tulle Sleeve Top, medium $24.49 This top hits all my aspirations that I seek for color, tulle, and style for design that heed my hope. It is a hot pink color, but I highly prefer a subtle pink color. It is not very revealing, but flattering for the very girly girl within me. I do wish Hip Chics Boutique has more size options as this medium felt large. This medium size was not fitted as it was very loose and wide. It is a comfortable wear. Oddly, the tulle mesh fabric was not itching my skin as I can puff it outward away from my skin. I have sensitive skin. I prefer cotton fabric. This woman's top is 96% polyester and 4% spandex. I now have a new hot pink top added to be wardrobe. Price is reasonable for good value. One week later this same women's top is now sold out and Hip Chics Boutique's website states "404 Page Not Found. The page you were looking for does not exist." This is the only clothing item that piqued my interest for Hip Chics Boutique.
