    Was having a nice time looking until old lady with curly hair got in my way and asked so rudely if I needed something because "I was in her way of organizing ." She ruined my shopping experience, I might never come back because of this interaction.

    They carry plenty of Charger and Laker logo shirts. Plenty of shoes, tennis and boots. There are clothing and bag packs to shoe laces and jewelry. Much to look at. The quality... you may want to use the gentle cycle on some of the items they offer. But, I would come back, fun things to look at and for the most part the customer service is friendly.

    I have been shopping at california dreams for over 4 years, i have never once had a problem until today. I don't know if the old woman was having a bad day or what it was. I simply went in for a piercing and showed her the one I wanted. I don't know if she got bothered from the way I tapped on the glass to show her or what but right after she wants to tap on it harder in an obnoxious way and say "which one?". I looked over at my partner and said "what the hell" because what the fuck was that? And right after this old woman goes "We can go at it all day." Seriously so shook. It will definitely be a while til I return and spend money here.

    If you're anti-establishment but still partake in brand loyalty to such behemoths at Famous, Metal Mulisha, and Dickies, then Californian Dreams lives up to its name. You can also find tons of Levis apparel and no-name long sleeve, short sleeve and no sleeve t-shirts. Feel like customizing your shirt? Well that dream can come true here. Wanna customize your hat? Yup! This is really a store that serves those that hate to shop and don't really care about what they wear, but do want to fit in with a certain segment of the population. The raised-truck segment, the beach cruiser segment, the bro/ho segment. But it's owned by Koreans...

    Place is decent. I can always find a cute outfit for a decent price. Some of the clothes are from Charlotte russe and other stores at the mall but because their not in season anymore they sell them here. Variety of items from jewelry, swimsuits, T-shirts, bras, underwear makeup, shoes and more. Men's section is on the right once you walk inside and women's is on the left. Customer service is meh, they ask how your doing but when they get you to the register they rush you. The employees are constantly making sure no one steals which is understandable with all their prior situations with people stealing. So many cameras are installed through out the store. It seems everytime I turn around I see one.

These sales offer great reduction on items, so if you area fan of these brands or like in kind check out their website. The Olukai sale that I recently went to, offered predominately shoes. Most people were on the hunt for sandals, as their shoes tend to be over 100 dollars. The offerings were in big boxes by size where you had to hunt and peck for shoes. The offerings did not only include sandals, but also included slippers and tennis shoes. The men shoes had a lot more variety. Beyond the Olukai brand, there were couple of other brands being offered that provided yoga wear, snow wear, and sunglasses. The experience was good as fellow customers were not agressive. The event was pretty tame. If you have interested in a brand, and you don't mind searching through boxes, then this is a good opportunity to snag a deal. Just remember there are no dressing rooms at the events.

    To be clear- this review is only for the Kohls store not the Sephora section. I've shopped at this…read moreKohl's for over a decade, and the decline has been impossible to ignore. Customer service is a constant gamble -- sometimes tolerable, but far too often I'm met with a dismissive, "you're interrupting me" attitude just for asking a basic question. And then there are the fitting rooms, which are hands‑down the worst I've seen anywhere. The floors are covered in hair, dust, dirt, and random debris that looks like it's been accumulating for months. It's genuinely disgusting and feels unhygienic to the point of being a health concern (Hello Athletes foot). To make it even more absurd, the fitting rooms close one full hour before the store does, because employees say managers want everything "put away before store closing" An hour feels excessive, especially when that "extra time" clearly isn't being spent on actual cleaning. After these two main issues for many years, it's clear this isn't a staffing issue. It's the culture at this store. After years of dealing with rude service and filthy fitting rooms, I finally tried contacting corporate. Their main number (262‑703‑7000) doesn't connect you to a human at all, just endless automated prompts. So not only is the store a mess, but there's no real way to report any of it. At this point I'm considering writing an old-fashioned letter instead, though I have no idea if it would even get read or routed to anyone who could act on it. Between the attitude, the dirt, the early closures, and the complete lack of accountability, this Kohl's earns a 1‑star rating, and that's being generous. (I like to show receipts with my reviews -My cell phone wasn't with me at the time so I couldn't upload photos- I will edit this with photos showing the incredible amount of filth from dressing room at a later time).

I recently…read morewent to the Men's Wearhouse in Temecula and had a pretty horrible experience, so I was honestly a little hesitant going into this location. Thankfully, Chloe and Cynthia completely turned that experience around. From the moment I walked in, both Chloe and Cynthia were incredibly approachable, helpful, and knowledgeable. They took the time to listen to what I wanted, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood everything throughout the entire process. Cynthia especially went above and beyond to fix all of the issues that had been created by the manager at the Temecula location for both me and my groomsmen. She was patient, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure everything was taken care of correctly. After the experience I had in Temecula, I was worried that getting everything sorted out for my wedding was going to be a nightmare. Chloe and Cynthia completely changed that. They made the process easy, stress-free, and actually enjoyable. If you're looking for suits or formalwear, I highly recommend this Men's Wearhouse location. Chloe and Cynthia are absolutely fantastic and deserve to be recognized for the incredible customer service they provide!

I explained that I had already washed them and that I've brought multiple pairs of pants and other clothes here for alterations before and was never told I had to do that. The employee basically just gave me the same response. One of the people who had actually altered my pants before was standing right behind us and didn't say anything either. If that's actually part of their policy, I get it and have no problem with that. What bothered me was that there really wasn't any explanation as to why, especially when I've had alterations done here multiple times before without being told this. I also looked online afterwards and couldn't find anything on their website saying clothes have to be dry cleaned before alterations, only that the garment needs to be clean. I just would have liked an explanation as to why it was different this time. I also didn't really like how the rest of the situation played out. When I was leaving, I could hear them murmuring something behind me and then heard a few giggles. I don't know what they were talking about, but it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I've had really good experiences with other employees here before, so I'm not saying everyone at this location is like that. I just didn't have a good experience with these particular employees and left feeling pretty upset about the whole interaction. This happened Friday, August 28th, around 4:30-5:00 PM.

The checkout lines move quickly, so it's an easy, stress-free shopping trip. They always have a great selection of styles, from casual to dressy, so it is easy to find something that fits exactly what I'm looking for. Plus, the deals are hard to beat, and I often end up discovering something I didn't even know I needed. I also love that it's easy to make returns here from Nordstrom.com, with a free in-store return for eligible items (some exceptions), which is especially convenient now that the Nordstrom in Escondido is closed.
