Sonia Says is a boutique clothing store - with mixed messages…read more.... Mostly high end clothing - with prices to match. Bargains are to be had during their periodic 70-80% off sales.Unique brands that not readily available elsewhere in the area. Service - mixed. Although there is apparent desire to "help"... what I've found over many years of shopping here (and many $000's spent) is that the focus is always on getting you to spend more.... and with little concern to how those items look on you. Certainly cute styles, but you need to use common sense and learn the word "no" or you will have overspent in spades. I've many items in my closet from Sonia Says that I've never worn - and never could wear for various reasons. I can't say how many times I expressed my unique style requests and the clerks would come up with the most god-awful combinations (yes, lots and lots of $'s) that were designed to make me look 92 years old (and I'm definitely not 92!). Try them. Hold tight to your wallet. Don't hesitate to say "no". Go during a sale.

I have stopped in Fringe on many different occasions and they always seem to have exactly what I…read moreneed for any given event. They carry a plethora of jeans and "basic" tops, as well as many dresses and statement pieces. The sales associates are always super friendly and willing to help!! The store is merchandised by color, making it very easy to shop for specifics. Make sure to stop in during football season for the largest selection of red, white, and black clothing.

I have been shopping at Fringe in Athens for about a year now. Anytime I need a game day outfit or…read moreeven a cute top, pair of jeans, shoes, earrings, this is my go to spot. Most of the staff is extremely helpful and always helps me when picking out pieces that go together. If there's something posted on their Instagram, I am reacting with their content. If there's something posted that I love and they have it in my size, I immediately go to purchase it. If there's something that I purchase and end up not liking, there's never been a problem with me bringing it back (even with the tag not being attached). About three days ago a staff member helped me pick out a sweater-vest to wear for the game. Unfortunately, they didn't have a long sleeve black top to go underneath. I went ahead and purchased the top just in case it sold out and I ended up liking it after I found an undershirt. Three days later, I found a shirt to go underneath but ended up not liking the vest with it so I decided to take it back. Once I arrived at the store, a women behind the counter (that I've never seen before) greets me asks me if I had a return. I proceeded to say yes and without taking a look at the sweater she states that she won't return it for me because I've worn it and I took off the tag. Keep in mind, I've returned clothes from this store in the past and the tag not being attached was never an issue. I guess I would understand if I didn't have the tag or the receipt but I had both. I understand if this is your policy/protocol but maybe you should make sure all of your staff understands this policy so it doesn't confuse your loyal customers who have purchased hundreds of dollars of clothing from you. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back.

Think sorority sister from 1985 who now sports the man cut and permanent snotty attitude. All the other employees I have encountered there have been friendly, but that particular one is a PILL. I have seen the way she interacts with other customers and it wasn't just me. Luckily she isn't there often. Beware!

Epiphany has been my favorite store for the 4 years I've lived in Athens. Every time my mom comes…read moreup we make sure it's on our list of places to go. The ambiance is amazing and the layout and decorations are constantly changing, giving it a new feeling every time. However, I went in yesterday and I was so disappointed that out of all the workers, only one was wearing a mask (and she was wearing it below her chin, so not even wearing it). Even the owner's daughter was not wearing one. Athens has a mask mandate, and in the midst of COVID it was EXTREMELY disappointing to see Epiphany not taking the health of both their workers and customers seriously. I'm not going to take stars off because I want people to support this local business, but I hope the owners see this and make a mask mandate inside their store. I know for me personally I will not be back in until masks are required for employees.

As soon as we walked in we were approached by a friendly young gentleman. I explained my dilemma and he directed me to exactly what I was looking for without hesitation.

All in all this experience was a pleasant one and I would definitely go back for all my minor sporting needs.
