My first trip to H&M was while I was visiting my brother in London over the summer. When I got home I knew I needed to hit the one up here, but I finally went this past month. The location is nice because it's on the other side of the street from the main mall. Yes there is another store in the main mall, but I just went into the one on the other side. For this being in the middle of Christmas season the place wasn't overly packed. I did have to wait a bit for a fitting room while the girl came back from wherever she had gone off to, but overall the staff was very friendly and moved quickly with the line. I also like a store that doesn't have people coming up to you constantly asking if they can help you find something, and here they just leave you alone. If you need help you can ask them, but overall they let you be. Cute clothing for the prices. If you're used to shopping at Target like me, then this is a nice upgrade every once in a while. They are on cue with the trends, but also have great fashion basics. Pretty much if you're a female you will like H&M. read more

I love the H&M at South Coast. If I want more professional attire, I go to the south coast side. If I want something edgy, I go to the crystal court side :) Sure it can be an inconvenience... but at the same time it helps to narrow down your choices as well! Also, there was a nice sales guy the day I went :) (rare in retail unless you go to a high end store). As he was ringing me up, this rude-ash lady was trying to ask him to find something for her. He directed her to the fitting room (as he's putting my clothing in the bag! wait your turn lady!). Then, after she left, he apologized!! So nice! 5/5 for being a nice guy :) read more

Good service and really clean. The cashiers were great and the guy in the kids section was very helpful. Love you guys. Best quality leggings ever. read more

H&M - H&M has the cutest stuff all the time. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I hate shopping for clothes. Mainly, because...people. This H&M was packed...singles, couples, moms, dads, and bratty kids all over the damn place. Problems: The clothes here are so disorganized; most stores have clothes on a rack arranged by size, so you can expect to find the smalls in the front and the larges in the back. Here the clothes are ALL mixed up, and the racks are packed with clothes so it's really hard to move the hangers enough to find your damn size. Plus-sized girls beware - most of their clothes only go up to a large. My other complaint is that they only let you take seven items in the dressing room at a time. I know this is fairly common, but I'm trying to give you my money here. Let me try on my thirty items in peace! It's such a hassle to go in and out of your dressing room to get your clothes from The Lords of the Dressing Room. Pros: The clothes are cute and price is right. They've got their "basics" section, which consists mostly jersey knits. Most of these items are $6-$10, which is a total steal. Their other items a still reasonably priced. Most shirts are in the $17 range and the skirts are around $25. I got out of there with three knit skirts, a pair of leggings, two lace tops, one jersey tank, and a cute necklace for $90ish. Not bad. Bottom line: I'll be back, but I won't be happy about it! read more

I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary of coming home from living in London and am feeling terribly nostalgic. I seriously went to H&M about five times a week while living there. I spent most of my grant money on super trendy striped shirts that I no longer wear. Thanks State of California! I was super stoked when this one opened up. I don't bother with the one in in South Coast. The one in Crystal Court is bigger and has all the same stuff, plus MORE! It's dirt cheap, trendy, and tends to be higher quality than Forever 21(which I also have much love for). I haven't quite figured out the logic of the layout of either store. It's like, casual girls wear, boys clothes, than nicer girls wear? I don't know. I'd like all the ladies gear to be in the same place. I'm nutty. Or really lazy. I like the one at the Beverly Center more. It feels bigger and is across from a XXI store. I can't go to the Beverly Center anymore without blowing a mint. read more

The customer service really sucks. I waited in line just to ask how much the headband i had in my hand cost...since it didn't have any tag. I was so tempted in just walking out with it, thinking that the alarm wouldn't go off... but of course, my morals hit me and i couldn't pull myself to be a thief. Anyway, the way the cashiers were managing their time really pissed me off. they took their time with everything and chatted with their friends as if they hadn't noticed me waiting in line for a while. ALL I WANTED, was to know this price. And out of all the times i've been here, I can't recall any co-worker offering any help. It's always me LOOKING for a worker for help. and having to wait. The selection of clothes seem to have a much better quality than those of Forever21, and although it is overall more clean-looking, i HARDLY ever find any clothing/accessory worth buying. read more

BEHOLD THE BEST H&M IN ALL OF ORANGE COUNTY! SELECTION: Unbeatable. SERVICE: Pretty good unless it's packed, but then you're just trying to avoid all the blondy OC moms and trying to keep their bugaboos or w/e they're called from hitting you in the shins. PRICE: Cheap. QUALITY: If it looks like it's going to fall apart in a month, it will. read more

I want to upgrade this store to three stars because of some of the better merchandise available. However the store looks really cluttered and some of the items should be given out for free because they are yesterday's yesterday fashion. If you travel to Europe you will find items in this store that are not available in the US, for some reason the fashion in the US is at least one year behind. I shop here to get few fashionable items, the quality went down a lot in this store compared to few years ago. The pants are not long enough and the sizes are all over the place. Sometimes an XS looks and fits like L and a L looks and fits XS. Hopefully someone from H&M besides the sales clerks will read this review. read more

I came in at 7:45pm on a Saturday evening looking for a couple dresses. After spending 15 min looking around I found two dresses that I wanted to try on before buying. Walked into the dressing room and barely got an acknowledgement from the guy folding clothes in the corner. So I said "hi! Can I go into any dressing room to try these on". He replied in an unapologetic tone "we are closed" looked back down and turned away. I walked out of the dressing area. Meanwhile multiple people were walking past me into the dressing room to meet up with at least five people in diff dressing rooms already trying clothes on. So I turned around and walked back into the dressing room and asked to the same guy "so where do I try these clothes on?" He replied "well we could put it on hold and you can come back tomorrow to try it on". I walked right back out. Stopped another staff person in the store and asked "why can't I try my dresses on?" She replied we are closed and just walked away. First off I had already been in the store for 15 min looking to purchase items. There were already people in the dressing room and I had TWO things to try on. Not ten. There was no announcement or even sign at the dressing room that you cannot try on clothes after 8pm. And none of the staff even apologized or was helpful at all. I will not be back to this location. read more

Next to San Francisco, this H&M has to have the most stuff for men. Then again, H&M is one of those stores were I hope to find something good, but usually walk away with nothing because I find something I don't mind buying, but it doesn't really "grab my balls" as my friend would say. Yes, there's another one a few miles down 405 south at the Spectrum, but they have more stuff here. I guess its a good thing I don't usually find stuff here, despite the variety. Cheerio. read more

I love love H&M it makes my heart race to see cute clothes that is reasonably priced and won't fall apart after one washing. For $65 bucks I got a sweater, a blouse, a cami and some flats. Tell me.. where else would you get that? There selection for business casual clothes is amazing! I can't wait to go back! read more

You can definitely put together a hip and stylish outfit business or causal outfit from H&M for a pretty moderate price. If it's your first time, make sure your at the right store. The mens department is in Crystal Court and there is a female store in the main mall. Confusing...I know (it took me a while). 2 stars taken away for two reasons: They don't accept American Express (BOOO!) and the selection in so cal is much more lacking than their store in the bay area. I've found so many good deals at the one at Union Square and unfortunately not had the same luck down here. If you're looking for some budget business clothes for men, H&M is a great stop! read more

Perfect spot to accommodate shopping for the whole Fam! I never mind when my Man wants to come here for work shirts cause while he is in the dressing room I can steal over to the women's side and score some things myself! I can usually find my sizes at this location which is not always a guarantee at all HnM's! The HnM across the street at South coast is definitely more fashionable, but this spot is perfect for staples like jeans and tees and way more manageable when it comes to parking and getting in & out! read more

Huge selection of clothes for guys, girls and kids. Really good prices for what you get. read more

I usually purchase yearly. Prices aren't too bad. They have a huge selection of men's apparel. They have clothing that suits my age group. And they hooked it up with a 20% discount when i signed up for their email newsletter. FYI they have a H&M app too. read more

H&M - Fly shit - Women's Clothing Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Back at my days at UCI, I was very excited this location opened up. I think this is the biggest branch in the OC. Directions: This branch is located in the south coast annex across the bridge from the main mall, 3rd floor. If you're coming from the main mall, the first entrance takes you the young men's which leads you into the other men's in the next room. If you live in the area, go here and forget about the Irvine one. I picked up a lotta stuff on this location. read more

When I lived in Los Angeles I had the advantage of shopping at some pretty big Forever 21's... in the OC the biggest one is in Irvine.. so when they opened up the H&M i was excited. My other experience with H&M was in Pasadena, where i waited for 30 minutes to GET IN the store, then waited another 30 minutes to TRY ON the clothes... boohoo. Plus that store was so small. This one is nice and big... no waiting to get in. hardly a wait to try on clothes. I managed to buy 5 tops and some hair clips for under 80 bucks. not bad. some of their clothes is very teeny-bop so i minus'd a star. read more

I like this H&M location. There are two at South Coast Plaza - come to this one if you want a wider selection of clothes for men/children. At this location there seems to be a lot more people. The main H&M inside the mall has short lines and pretty much the same merchandise, but this store location is always packed. There are lines going into the dressing room and five long lines going up to the cash register. The aisles are tightly packed and tiny. You might find some nice, cheap stuff here. Key word: might. This place is more for accessories, not jeans or dresses or stuff like that. The problem with a lot of H&M stores is the pricing labels. They'll set up clothes under signs that say "$5" but the clothes actually cost $10. It's annoying and I feel like they're trying to scam me into buying things. Overall not a bad store, but kind of crowded. read more

4 stars for the selection 1 star for the service Its not that the cashiers are rude or anything, just very, very slow. They must understand that we have places to go, people to see, etc. read more

This is for the H&M store on the BIG mall side.....not Crystal Court.... Yesterday was the cleanest and most organized I have seen it. We found LOTS of stuff that looked good on the hangar. Once in the dressing room, not so much. Definitely cut small....really small.....that could wreck a girls day if she is the least bit shy about going up 3-4 sizes! If you really search there are some cute things to be had. The accessories are a great find..... read more

I am somewhat not surprised by the low score of this establishment. I went the H&M Costa Mesa to buy a tee-shirt on sale, but the XL size is not available. They told me I can get the same XL tee-shirt at H&M Irvine Spectrum for $6.99. When I arrived at H&M Irvine Spectrum, they jack the price to $12.99. Of course, I did not buy it. I am giving both H&M at Irvine Spectrum and Costa Mesa with a ONE score when they have unfairly priced the same item $6 more than they should when I arrived at H&M Irvine Spectrum. It seems evil corporate America wins. I am very sure someone will buy the tee-shirt at full-price. read more

I never knew that buying trendy/fashionable clothes for less than dirt could be so satisfying. O_O ..for women. Men, unless you are really skinny and/or lanky, this place is not for you. Just kidding, they have a lot of clothes to fit you men who are average in size.. medium to large sized people. XL wearers might have trouble finding things to buy though. read more

Love this place they have such great deals! Lots of selections and everything they have here are always current with style. I like buying my Tshirts here because they are cheap ranging from $5 - $10. Staff are friendly and will approach you And ask you need help. I just don't like how the dressing room line is always long. It takes me forever just to try on a pair of jeans. read more

Before this chain expanded to California, I was impressed with the New York outpost but at this location, I only buy an umbrella or headbands. I love the designs for the scarves but I don't end up wearing them. I stock up on cheap hairpins now instead. I used to go crazy for blouses and hair clips when it first opened. The selection of coats are good. read more

I remember I used to come to this H&M all the time during my class gap breaks at OCC, but my how the quality has declined. Idk wth happened to H&M and their style in clothing. Business definitely has slowed down here 'cause they closed one side of the fitting room and registers so lines can be a long wait. I'd probably only come here just for the business/professional clothes now cause the casual clothes suck. I can never find my size either. read more

Life is not fair, there is a H&M store in the main mall but it's women only stuff. LIFE IS NOT FAIR!! A lot of men (myself included) have walked into the main store only to find out that there is no men's section. I bet the people that work here snicker at the guys who come in and out. I really felt cheated :( BTW, there are two H & M locations at the adjacent portion of South Coast.. but it sucks since guys have to walk across the street or drive their car to the next building. With my rant being over, I honestly love H&M. Style of clothing and price is just up my ally. The quality isn't there but if you take care of it the garments/items should last you for a while. Also, I love their shirts here because most of them are fitted. Guys, got a hot date this week? Come here and buy something spiffy to help your game and take her back to your place :D read more

I LOVE H&M. When I used to live in England, this is the place I'd go shopping and always come out with bags of goodies. Always trendy, always hip, and always edgy. In california, I've noticed that a lot of the stores are catered to the area. Beverly Center has the ENTIRE collection and others have a little of everything. There are two in the South Coast Plaza. Do not be fooled by the selection INSIDE the plaza - this is catered for the business women. very conservative. For the young hip and cool stuff, get your asses over to Crystal Court. this is where the great stuff is. Inventory changes weekly so I'm there prettty often because there will always be something new :) LOVE it. I wish they just had more of them around. read more

THEY HAVE KIDS CLOTHES HERE! Alright, maybe it's been a while since I've shopped at H&M, but today I was shopping for my friend's kids and there were tons of cute choices. Register lines are not organized like other H&M stores I have been to. They make you line up on the middle of racks and merchandise. Oh and a big negative, no gift receipts? UMMMM! It's 2011, why do you not have gift receipts? read more

Plusses... -Great affordable clothing - $15 bucks for a kimono robe... not bad! -Decent selection for women's clothing - I was able to find the this Kimono robe that I had been eyeing out since our trip to vegas the week before. I still can't believe that the massive H&M in vegas (3 stories) didn't have my size! -Fast service - I only had to wait about one minute? Negatives... -No men's section. - I mean... that's half of the population here! -Tiny store compared to many others in the area. - For example... the spectrum or the block. read more

H & M is a hit or miss. Sometimes they have really cute clothes and great service. And sometimes even getting a dressing room is very difficult. They're always hectic and it frustrating how they sometimes just walk by and ignore you. They're return policy is okay but sometimes not. The clothes can be cheap in terms of basics, however the quality isn't the best in terms of sweaters, jeans, bigger items basically. This is the place to go if you want a cute dress that may or may not last long term. On the other hand, somethings are way overpriced. read more

Super friendly staff. They took the time to help me find something special for my wife. They even called around to other stores to help me find the right size. Smile, be friendly and you'll get great service almost anywhere you go. read more

I love their stylish and affordable clothes. HOWEVER, I do not like their dressing room service. So I was in line to get a dressing room, and this guy helps out the two people in front of me. Then he helps my boyfriend and then comes back around. At this time I'm thinking he's going to get me a dressing room, but nooooo he walks pass me like I'm not there. I'm not short or anything....Then he comes back around and I'm thinking he's going to get me a dressing room. NOPE, walks pass me again. Then a girl gets in line behind me and helps her. Like WTF do you not see me standing here? I had to go up to him and ask him to get me a f***** room. He just says "oh, okay". It's so unprofessional, I should've complained to the store manager that day. I'm never coming back to that H&M until they learn how to train their employees better. I used to work in retail, so I know how it is. BUT, WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EVER! read more

If I can put ZERO star - I WOULD Went in just to have the anti-theft sensor attached on the item taken out & right there & then the costumer rep said non-chalantly " you have to return it where you bought it" just because the sensor is not the same as what they have. I don't think she understand the store's return policy. I have receipt and all & no intention to return just the sensor TAKEN OUT but the IGNORANT customer rep Andrea adamantly said they could not help me. If I have not insisted that I refuse to drive further to where I purchased the item she would not even call the store manager who right away said he could take out the sensor. With all the stress & anxiety that the mis-informed Andrea did to me, I would advise HR to find a better & polite employees for a big company like H&M. One Andrea in their store would be a disservice to them. I don't see how employees like her are able to work as costumer service rep when she does NOT do what the job description entails her to do. read more

Friendly environment and good clothes~ Big selection too, the employees were very interactive with me read more

0 stars!!!! They won't make the store numbers available, you have to call a customer service number. So I called customer service to get a local store phone number so I can check in item in stock she proceeded to tell me that they do not do courtesy checks any longer that you have to go to the store to look for your item. I will not be using the company as it's not convenient for me to run across the county looking for particular item that I did like. I can certainly buy something comparable at a store that provides better retail customer service. read more

One of the better H&Ms in the area! This place has a lot to choose from and they always carry my size which is great! I deducted a star because they only had one dressing room open and the organization of this place would make Martha Stewart cringe. But all in all, this is probably my favorite H&M. :) read more

If you really want some cheap deals that H&M is probably the place to go. Don't expect anything to high-end or classy if you want that then go elsewhere. There are deals to be found here whether you just want something small like a little bowtie or cheap jacket or some cheap shoes then is deathly find then you can get something with some style is a little unique. Don't be shocked when you see 500,000 other people where in the exact same thing since it H&M and anyone can buy it. Guys and girls come here as they have a selection for both but don't be overwhelmed prepare to be underwhelmed if you really want that elite look. read more

Disappointed. Came here today and there was limited selection, nothing special or unique. Saw 1 sales person on floor. The layout is poor and difficult to find items in any semblance of order. Store is over rated and over priced. Will not return. read more

i participated in the h&m isabel marant (not-so) chaos and was thoroughly impressed with the organized system that was able to allow shoppers to shop in a civilized manner. kudos to h&m for: 1) wristbands: implementing the 30 shoppers/time into the ladies section was a must. it kept everyone organized and we all know that saying, early bird gets the worm. 2) timed shopping: 15 minutes to shop per group. you best know what you want before getting into the ladies area. 3) friendly sa: even having to wake up just as early as the shoppers the h&m team were courteous and organized with process. they knew the ins and outs of everything. 4) organized fitting room: 7 items per try on. there were plenty of associates at the fitting room it was easy to swap sizes and styles if needed (if there were any left). 5) security: there are plenty of don't-you-mess-with-me-looking security guards to make sure everyone's behaving and staying clear of the aisle in the event of an emergency. the only thing i'd complain about is i wished they had a more organized roping off system outside of the store while shoppers are camping out. so many people just "casually" joined their friends and cut in front of the line. other than that, i wished Isabel didn't have so many pieces i loved! but she did. the collection was so worth losing sleep over. read more

Part of H&M's appeal is its unexpected items of clothing (some of it being heavily influenced from the '80s); sometimes I gaze in fascination at the particularly eccentric pieces, just as if they were a part of a museum exhibit. I would describe H&M as a more grown-up version of Forever 21 - both stores offer competitive prices and a sense of whimsy, yet H&M has more durable textiles and a greater selection of work clothing (I've seen some beautiful blazers that incorporate feminine details while still exuding a professional aura). They have cute and moderately priced shoes and scarves; however, I'm not particularly fond of their fashion jewelry or purses since they are usually cheaply made, and look it. read more
