Yael has an amazing selection of affordable yet unique and chic apparel. It's a small but impactful boutique. When I go through the racks, it's usually a hard no, or a "I have to have this" reaction. That's because she seems to be able to choose clothes that you won't find elsewhere for less than $300-500 but each piece is perfect for a certain type of person. And so affordable - usually around $100-140 for a beautiful jumpsuit, dress, jacket, pair of great jeans, etc. That's why it's so dangerous to come here. The clothes are beautiful, unique and most pieces can go from office to an evening event easily. And many have pockets, which is a bonus. Come here and you'll see why it has close to 5 stars!

But when things are normal, the lighting is excellent, the clothes are well organized and the staff is always, and I repeat, always polite and friendly. They are business people and this is their business and customers need to understand that. As with any business based on donations, you can find wonderful things at very reasonable prices or you can find nothing at all to your liking. But that is why Unique Boutique -- and each item is unique -- is so much fun. A note -- someone reviewed it saying "I called to ask about furniture and the guy said no and hung up the phone..." This is what I mean about customers not understanding retail...you asked a question, he answered it and why should he stay on the phone with you ? There is no way this store has the space to accommodate furniture and once that is clear, there is nothing more to say, so salespeople hang up. If you would like them to apologize for not taking or selling something impossible, that is what you expect culturally, but other people do not think that is necessary in what is not a personal relationship. You asked a question, you got an answer, good bye, move on.

He sells well-made and trendy clothing that I see nowhere else. You will not see everybody walking up and down the street in your clothes! The clothing here is sassy and classy, and there is a wide assortment--from everyday clothes to professional and party wear, and they last for decades. I still wear all the clothes that I bought from him in the 90s. I feel like Darryl is my personal stylist. He is forthright about what looks good on me, and he will not allow me to buy anything that does not compliment my figure or complexion. I always get compliments on the unique clothes that I found there. Importantly, Darryl's always has sales, and I since I only shop for things on sale, his clothing is reasonably priced. Darryl's is a NY gem that has saved me when I needed an outfit for a special occasion and could not find anything online or in the major stores. Darryl's is my favorite boutique in the universe!

But the clothes are generally well-made and very stylish. Once, I decided that I really, really needed a short down coat with an enormous fur hood. Variazioni had ONE left, in a medium. On sale! I bought it and wore it happily in the freezing cold. The salespeople can be pushy. I had a favorite, non-pushy, quite languid sales associate at the Columbus Avenue location. Today, on Broadway, I was practically chased around the store by some man who smelled terrible and kept telling me he had things in other colors, and bringing me tops to go with the pants and skirt I was holding. I finally told him that I like to think while I'm shopping. He wasn't happy, but did leave me alone. I bought a beautiful pair of white silk palazzo pants and a cream sweater. They have some gorgeous spring/summer dresses, but the prices seemed quite high. Sometimes it's best to check online and see what the price is elsewhere.

It is amazing to me how different people experience the same situation so drastically different…read more There were employees who were obvious stand-outs and those who were probably going nowhere. As I shopped I basically kept to myself yet observing everything. It was later on so I'm sure everyone was tired. This is when you see the real employee. Although every conversation was status quo, I was frustrated knowing that every employee could have been creating extraordinary experiences instead. For instance when I went downstairs there were two employees talking while leaning on a sale rack. They both glanced at me and went back to their conversation. When they finished up, about two minutes later, one went and abruptly turned the music off and the other went to tell the one other shopper that she had only eight minutes left before closing time. Both fairly normal occurrences but they were preceded by one of those employees first announcing that she "Can't wait to get out of here." I was shocked! Who trained these employees? Employees should feel like the store is their stage and when they are on the floor they are "on." Could you imagine going to a Broadway play and having one of the actors leaning against a prop instead of joining the chorus line in the final dance and then even worse saying, "I can't wait to get out of here" to a packed house of people who have rearranged schedules and paid good money to get there. Money that pays her salary by way. So there I was in a store that this employee can't wait to get out of and I am thinking whoever trained her must have missed the part about consumer confidence because now instead of the candy land of clothing I was in, I now found myself in a fluorescent-lit basement, surrounded by shoes I really don't need. So I didn't buy any. Now I'm checking out and having another average experience listing to the women next to me trying to checkout but she is lost in the system. "That's strange, I shop at Foxes all over the country and just received a coupon which is why I'm here." I am being rung up by an unsmiling employee who is saying everything right but as if she is forgetting me as she is saying the words. (Not her fault. Why do more when if you do a little less, you are actually making more money right? Plus how can anyone ever get to know me with questions like "Did you find everything you were looking for?" These closed ended questions keeps the employee disengaged and the lines moving so everyone can "Get out of here." Now Mrs. Harris is finally finishing up. Not once did anyone say thank you for being such a valued customer or "Mrs. Harris, my name is Melanie, and when I find you in the system I am going to make sure you are in our database as a preferred customer and get my manager Susan in the loop so this never happens again." Nothing like that was said and the laborious guessing game which should not be part of a shopping experience was never even acknowledged. Now, when I first arrived: I went upstairs and overheard the tail end of an exchange where a customer was asking for an employee's name. Uh-oh. That usually spells trouble especially on the upper west side of New York City. I missed the employee's response but she had a happy tone in the answering so I relaxed and started browsing. Why would someone be asking for an employee's name I wondered. This was something out of the ordinary. I found a Michael Kors puffy coat that I was definitely not looking for and absolutely could not afford on my little shopping excursion for a pair of pants. Eh, I'll try it on any way I thought. Oh my god! This is bad. I love everything. Crap. Why did I leave the house? O.K. stop. You NEED pants for the presentation. You do not need another jacket. (Even though the jacket and pants look STUNNING together.) Sorry Michael. I have to break-up with you after this brief tryst on the second floor at 79th street. It hurts me more than it will hurt you. Me with heavy feet dreading the clink of the hanger returning to it's rack. "How are you finding the coats?" asked a voice as I looked at Michael one last time. How am I finding the coats? Is this a retail employee asking an open ended question? Dose she already know my philosophy? Could there be hope for customer service yet? This employee just asked a question which was impossible to say "Yes, no or I'm just looking" to! What a pleasant surprise! "I love them! I just wish I could afford this one and my rent this month!" "Aren't they beautiful? They brand new and are 25% off you know." What? Although the sign was right there the whole time, I had seen the jacket first and fell so hard, I hadn't seen anything after that. This was a dream come true! Michael and I together forever all because of a fantastic, Dark haired & glasses, 55+ year old, customer service employee who made Foxes glimmer and shine through her product knowledge, customer engagement, enthusiasm for me to get what I want.
