    Whether you have an appointment or not, you will most likely be seen within 10 minutes. We didn't have an appointment, but it is best to have one to avoid a wait. You first check in on the iPad at the entrance, and then you'll be called when it's your turn. The process is very quick and from start to finish, should take about 1/2 hour. Oh and if you went to one of the local private Catholic schools, you get a discount.

    Navy suit!

    Julian was great to work with! I made an appointment online and was looking for a suit for graduation pictures and also one to reuse for other occasions. He allowed me to try on all the colors of suits that I wanted to and found the right fit for me! It also helped that I knew my sizing and how I like my suits to fit, so I knew whether to size down or up. Since they had my sizing in store, I was told that my suit would be altered and ready within a week's time! Also, as a woman who likes to wear men's suits, Julian was so chill and made me feel like any other customer! There was also a student discount which was a pleasant surprise and Julian made sure that all the sales and specials online were price matched to what he sold to me in store. I'm excited to get my suit soon!

This was the closest place here in OC to find BBC stuff but it doesn't look like they have much of it anymore.

I know some of these are limited edition but c'mon.. if you want $250 for a jacket you're gonna have to add more than a patch or small graphic to a regular looking jacket/hoodie to get my business.

    Only based on shopping experience…read more I had a lovely experience. Tried on multiple items, had an associate help bring my items to a room (because I had so many), and I continued to shop around. He was so lovely, and even remembered my name and checked in with me prior to leaving. I can't remember his unfortunately (he was tall, dark, and handsome). I got lucky enough to purchase items that were new/clean and for an extra 50% off. A Levis sweatshirt, Aritzia tank top, Princess Polly jeans, and a Patagonia dryfit shirt, for a total of $23 with tax. Surprised they have 12 employees working that day, a lot for a thrift shop. Checking out took abnormally long due to one register, and a buyer being upset from a past purchase and not agreeing with stores policy, felt bad for the worker handling that issue/confrontation. Apologies to everyone else who had a terrible selling and shopping experience. Hopefully they improve, and I definitely will return again for the meantime.

    As a buyer, I love this place--so I figured I'd try selling here. Almost a huge mistake…read more The offers were honestly shocking. An Alo hoodie? $2. A vintage 100% silk Victoria's Secret top? $0.10--yes, ten cents. A rag & bone handbag? Also $0.10. When I asked for clarification, they said maybe the buyer didn't realize the brand... but even then, how does that justify ten cents? The only offer that felt remotely fair was $50 for my Balenciaga hoodie. Everything else? Basically nothing--$1 total for four additional items. They were also "authenticating" my vintage Dior bag, and at that point I just stopped the process. I wasn't about to risk them offering me such a low price for it. It genuinely felt absurd. I understand resale businesses need margin, but this felt extreme. It honestly made me feel bad for people who sell here--like you'd have to be in a really tough spot to accept those kinds of offers. What's more frustrating is that nothing in the store is priced anywhere near that low. As a buyer, I've spent real money here--I even bought a beautiful vintage D&G belt for $250. Now I can't help but wonder what they paid for it. This experience definitely changed how I see the store. I still think they have great pieces, but the selling side feels incredibly one-sided. Offering even 20-30% of resale value would feel a lot more reasonable. Their "coding" for buying, It's a huge scam. As much as i loved shopping here.. you are better off not selling. Don't give your items away unless you're truly okay with the price--don't make a decision out of desperation. (If you have that luxury)

I understand store policies, but the way she spoke to me felt extremely demeaning, dismissive, and unprofessional. I will not be shopping here anymore after this experience. The employee was a tall white woman with blonde hair and very bright pink blush, which made her easy to recognize. Her attitude and facial expressions came across very arrogant, judgmental, and discriminating, which made the situation even more embarrassing. It stopped feeling like a normal return and started feeling like I was being looked down on. I shop at Alo frequently and have spent a lot of money there over time, which made this experience even more disappointing. It wasn't even about the store credit at that point, it was about how poorly I was treated. Customer service should never make customers feel humiliated.

Sarah was printing my receipt and I asked her about a specific model of pants that I saw online, but I just wanted her opinion, I really didn't want to hold them up. She answered the question and showed me the pants, explained all the differences with the other pants that I was familiar with, knew exactly what size I should pick, and sent me to the dressing room with the size I thought I needed and the size she recommended (a size smaller). Of course she was right about the size and I left with those pants that, by the way, I'm wearing today and are all that she said, I really like them. Sarah, you are awesome!
