I'm an online shopper, I avoid going to the mall especially on weekends and holidays. But when I…read moreneed some me time and a much needed retail therapy I go to Nordstrom Rack. This location is less than a mile from my house, very convenient and has plenty of parking available even on weekends. Even though this is not my fav Nordstrom Rack, (San Marcos, Ca. location has better shoe selection) I found my best deals here by far. Im super petite and tiny everywhere. I wear either a size 00, 0, XXS or XS depending on brand and fit in a size 4 or 4.5 shoes. Being tiny, it's hard to shop for clothes that fits me perfect outside of kids section. I find that I either pay full retail price or get really lucky with highly discounted odd size shoes or clothing regardless of the store I go to. So when I need a wardrobe update, I'll spend hours at NR and comb through the racks carefully if I want to find really high end brand name pieces for super low prices. Last time I went looking for a dress to wear to my brothers wedding in July, I found a super pretty floral dress for NOTHING!!! Original price was 172 on sale for 20 and I had a 40 dollar note sitting in my rewards account, so I paid zero for it... score!!! I've also gotten a blouse for a penny lol... say wha??? How is that even possible? Best deals to date: - Stuart Weiztman riding boots: paid 10.00 original price was 410.00 - Stuart Weiztman kitten heels suepump: paid 17.00 original price 199.00 - Ted Baker pink cocktail dress: 99.72 original price 1695.00 Above are just my fav buys, I've gotten really awesome finds and some of my fav treasured pieces at this store. Brands I love that I often find in this location are Stella McCarthy, SW Nudistsong (I have 4 pairs of different colors), Theory, Ted Baker, Bailey 44, lots and lots of Splendid, Via Spiga, Reformation and Badgley and Mischka shoes. Go in the morning during a weekday when everything is put away neatly. It's easier to comb through the racks when all's in order.

Checkout lines are always really long and the ventilation inside is poor. If you have trouble with…read moreallergies and asthma, you may want to really consider shopping at a different location. I was there to return a Nordstrom item and it took me well over 30+ minutes waiting in line. That was on a weekday afternoon too that wasn't during the holiday season. Can't say I love it. The rest of the store has ok selection of items. It has the lighting of Ross and the atmosphere too. Couldn't find anything I wanted to exchange my item with.

My husband and I came to this location to look at suit rental options and colors for our wedding…read more He's big into suits, so he was excited to see what we could put together. Unfortunately, the person we were working with there just was really uninterested in helping us. He had said to just go online to look at the options and packages. It was like pulling teeth even just to get him to show us the shoe options next to the suit color tones. We felt like we were being rushed out and like a nuisance, maybe because you formalize the order online? But it's so hard to gauge colors on the internet and important to see swatches. We were really disappointed in the experience. The next week, my husband went to the Reston location to try for a better experience, which is just what he got. He said that location was SO helpful and much more attentive. Wouldn't recommend Fair Lakes for wedding suit rentals, but would recommend the Reston location!

I'm writing another update to my review as I just completed my suit rental with this Men's…read moreWarehouse. I dropped a star because they gave me the wrong colored vest for the rental and unfortunately, I wasn't able to have it corrected because it was picked up late due to a medical emergency on my end and there was no opportunity for an exchange. I tried to have it exchanged at the Charlottesville, VA location, and the gentleman I spoke to was very dismissive and offered instead that I buy one of their $100 vests - which I had to decline because that voided the whole point of me renting it out to begin with. If I remember correctly, I even had to pay more for the rental package with the vest, only to have the vest come out with the wrong color. Throughout this whole experience, I've felt very dismissed by the staff at Men's Warehouse, both at this location and at the Charlottesville location. The only reason I'm giving this a 2 out of 5 stars is because both the lady and the gentleman (I believe his name was Anthony) that had my suit sized and who answered the phone when I needed to tell them I was going to pick up my suit late respectively were really nice and courteous and to be honest - they're both well above the standard the rest of the Men's Warehouse brand has set for itself when it comes to my experience. Unfortunately, I think this is the last time I'll ever be using MW for any of my needs for suits or suit rentals. This whole experience left a sour note for me. There honestly just needs to be better customer service training with the employees - with an emphasis on not being dismissive towards people.

Hmm, where do I start. I'd give this establishment negative zero stars if it was possible. I came…read moreto the store because a good friend (who lived in Fairfax) past away and I acquired his last suit that he purchased at William T. Clothiers, and I wanted to get it altered for me in his memory. While I was there I decided to get 4 customs shirts made, as my last tailor retired recently. The shirt measurement process was strange from the get go, the owner/tailor Todd put 2 sample shirts in the dressing room. He stated 1 was for tighter fit, and 1 was for a looser fit. But didn't tell which one was which, so I put on the closest one to me. Todd then started asking me about how I wanted the length/width and such and started to measure me. Then we started to go over shirt patterns and fabrics, and I started to pick out patterns/fabrics/cuffs/collars pretty standard stuff. BTW, once this process started I never did try on the other sample shirts and he never mentioned for me to do so. After all the measuring was finished the pricing came, and OMG it was crazy expensive! The 4 shirts came to an average of $323.75 each, wow. All of my suits, jackets, dress pants, and dress shirts in the last 20 years have been custom tailored as I am an oddly shaped person. I know custom clothing is expensive, but the most I've ever paid for a shirt was about $200, but I bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered the shirts as I need a closet refresh. After a few days I got a message that 2 of the shirt designs were not available, so I had to basically let Todd pick the new colors/designs. About 4ish weeks later my shirts were ready for pickup, I was excited to see how the expensive shirts looked. When I tried on the 4 shirts, they were so tight that I was really taken aback. It was like his tape measure or eyesight was not working properly, they were so ill fitting. So all 4 shirts had to be completely reorder, and low and behold another color/design was not available again. That makes 3 of the 4 colors/designs picked out ended up unavailable. Well I picked up the 4 shirts yesterday, 5 months after my original order/measurement. Another bothersome thing with this tailor/Todd is that I ended up in that shop approximately 8 times, and Todd was only there 2 times. He as some nice whiskey displayed in the shop, never did he offer any to me. He knew how upset I was, and didn't even have the decency to be present when I finally pick up my shirts yesterday. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this tailor, there are so many tailors to choose from in the DC area to deal with this tailors crazy high prices, and awful customer service. The shirts are good quality, but this quality can be had for half the price.

My apologies for forgetting the young man's name, who worked hard, to prove that last pair of shoes was in the shop! That was really good service. The problem with Vans shoes, is that they don't last long. Their prices have gone up significantly. If quality showed, I'd be sort of okay with that. Yet their shoes even without extensive effort, can be worn out rather quickly. Are they the worst shoes? Not at all, plus some of them are stylish. It's an opinion, but there are better brands to choose from.

I'm trying on the hat..and this asian girl walks past the mirror and smiles at me, I politely smile back and IMMEDIATELY turn around! It's my girlfriend and she works there. Funny thing is, she still hadn't recognized me because of my 10 inches shorter hairstyle and with the straw hat on! She just started when the store opened and she's the store's only personal shopper! What a small world! She was working with a bunch of customers and picking out cute items. The store is already slightly starting to get messy though and I can't say this is one of my favorite Jcrew stores yet, but I'll give them some time to get their stuff together :) definitely going back to visit my friend though! Her name's Tiffany, call her if you need a personal shopper!

The selection in store and the layout of the garments were not in par with their price range. Save yourself a trip and go to the Mosaic location or a different store all together.

Many places are or have followed suit. Still from what I have seen this lines are long and merchandise is going fast. Yes, you can buy the mannequin and do what Eminem did in his song 3AM. Catch lyrics too. I do see some clothing that might look good on other people, it's not my style. What is more important is that I am seeing people going...almost going back to the way things were before the Coronavirus Pandemic. I think people are washing their hands more now.

Sometimes it is disheartening coming into the store that does not have a lot of clothes to browse through and hoping for something new to buy and wear. They do keep their place clean and organized. Service - Was alright. I did not like the fact that there was no immediate help when I was at the cash register. Was not overly thrilled with their assistance. I asked one of the associates if a certain product was one of the items on sale, and stated no. Fine, so then my next question was to see if they had a different size. The person hesitated for a bit, and felt begrudged to look in the back of the store for different size. Price - They had deals on certain items. I only go to BR when I have a coupon on hand. Otherwise, the clothes are pricey! I have another BR store that I would go to, this is not the place I want to enter into again.
