Arrived at the west county location at 7:40pm on 9/22. My daughter and I were shopping for a dress…read morefor her homecoming. We were greeted with "we are closing in 15 minutes" with a snotty tone. My daughter really wanted to try on some dresses so we quickly found a few to try on and stood in line for the dressing rooms. There were about 6 dressing rooms, but the staff had already closed/blocked off 2 of them even when 4 people were waiting in a line ahead of us to try clothes on. We waited in line for about 10 minutes, then a clerk walked up to us and said we couldn't try anything on because they were closing. This was at 7:50 with 10 minutes left to closing. I asked why we couldn't use the 2 dressing rooms they had blocked off and she replied that they closed those already. Had they been open, everyone in line would have been able to try on the clothes before the closing time. Very rude customer service. It was clear the clerks had no care for those shopping, they just wanted to close the store early. I won't be shopping at this store again.

After stopping into the UPS store in this shopping center to return some online purchases, I…read moredecided to duck into Cohesion Boutique next door for a fix of brick-and-mortar retail therapy. Although Cohesion has only been open since September 2018, it is a compelling addition to this shopping strip. Immediately upon entering the store, I was struck by how good everything smelled, as well as the chic yet relaxed style of decor. Heather, the owner, mentioned that the candles are available in store, and shared her plans to branch out into more home accents and decorating items, in addition to the women's clothing and accessories currently offered. As far as the clothing selections, the items are unique and run the gamut from more dress-up dresses to everyday wear and athleisure, with a smattering of-the-moment sweaters and scarves in the mix. On my visit there were a number of cute jackets, including a white parka with an adjustable drawcord collar, and a crushed-raspberry colored velvet blazer. I ended up with a not-so-basic LBD with a lace panel and exposed back zip, and a tie-front striped button down shirt that can be transitioned with the seasons. Inventory changes on a weekly basis, and there are only a few selections of each style available in every size--all the more reason to snap up that favorite piece right when you are eyeing it, because it might not be there the next time.

Highly recommend!

Every employee I've encountered there has been great, but my absolute favorite person to work with is Jackie. She always remembers me, always knows what I like, and how I like things to fit. I literally can't remember the last time I've had customer service this fabulous. Aside from customer service, the store always looks good and easy to shop.....which is not an easy fete when a store has as many products as Akira. I will absolutely keep shopping at this location and telling all my friends to do the same!

Staff members write your name in chalk on the door of the fitting room when you go on to try clothes and will grab different sizes for you if you need! That being said, clothes here are definitely on the pricier end (shorts for $36, tops $50s, dresses from $70-120s) but the dresses are really good quality. There is a section towards the back that is clearance/sale where you can find stuff significantly marked down (from $78 down to like $30). However these are often XS or XL sizes.

I think this makes me basic but their in-store holiday aesthetic really was a hit for me today! I want everything in the store that says Diet Coke and Ford Bronco. I love the ornaments and I don't even decorate for the Holidays. I did not have luck in the dressing room today but I'll be back and I'll be stalking this merch online where I belong.

Great little local shop for your personalizing and gifting needs. They have an extensive selection…read morewith lots of high end brands such as barefoot dreams, jellycat, weezie, thml, Kendra Scott, etc. Tons of items including home decor, clothing, kids, toys, jewelry, accessories, etc. Many of which can be personalized! Gifts for all types of occasions - housewarming, bride, baby, yourself! They actually have a large selection for clothes, outside of typical personalization or gifts. I was pleasantly surprised with the large selection! I worked with Margy who was super patient and helpful with all my questions and ideas for personalization. She helped me find the correct item, size, use the dressing room, etc. She went above and beyond in terms of customer service! The wait time was 5 business days to personalize which is very reasonable. I got the call my items were ready on the 3rd business day. I imagine the wait time might vary! They are willing to personalize outside items if they can. I was disappointed but understood that stuffed animals I brought could not be personalized because they were not flat. Similarly, the tricky thing is knowing what can be personalized and how as a customer. Some things are clear or there's samples but lots of items especially for stuffed animals, I wasn't sure. Items turned out as expected and perfectly! They also offer free gift wrap which was nicely done. Convenient location for me as well. I'm excited to come back for future gift needs - and for things for myself :)

I brought in a sweatshirt to be embroidered. I thought it was unnecessarily expensive. Some shops in the mall can do custom embroidery in an hour for about half the price but I try to support local businesses. Then when I picked up my item I felt like the embroidery looked awkward. Maybe I just picked a bad font but it is a cursive and it didn't flow. I'd be willing to give the shop another chance but I'm hesitant to recommend the embroidery. If you're just looking for gift ideas this place is very fun.

Website purchases can be returned to this store. The check out process can take longer than the hunt to find an item. Several times I have run in to buy a present, jumped in line...only to wait and wait. The registers themselves don't seem to be the fastest, and always seem to be causing stress to the employees.
