They greet you and are constantly checking on you until your appt begins. They control the chaos without taking away from the excitement. My daughter found the dress about the 3rd dressin, but she/we wanted to be sure and tried several more of my daughters choices. The sales person completely understood and we never felt rushed. Yes we had a time allotment for the appointment but still was never pushed or rushed. They have a broad range of pricing. Thanks to all the staff at Vow'd in Raleigh. Great job ladies !

We happened to dine at a restaurant around the corner and had a little time to kill, so we searched…read morewoman's boutiques and this popped up only 0.2 miles away. Wasn't sure what we would find but I dragged my teen into the store. The facade is very unassuming, but don't be fooled, they have a lot of unique and gorgeous things that are perfect for women and teens alike. They also have lots of fun jewelry by Kendra Scott and other fun designers. My daughter loved a lot of the things they had and I found it to be reasonably priced compared to the boutiques we have in our hometown. Most items were priced around 40-70 or so for unique, on trend items. My daughter managed to snag a homecoming dress, a cute denim skirt and a romper for next year. I'm glad we swung by and certainly if we are ever in town again, we will be back. They also have a great frequent shopper incentive program. I highly recommend you check them out!

The Pygmalion reference as a store name is subtle. I get it; but don't quite see the link with how…read moretransformed or brought to life you'll be if you shop here. Despite that, I found Galatea to be a classy store but with a bohemian laid-back vibe. The separates were mostly of softer, less constructed fabrics, and of styles you don't see in the mass market stores. The fabric textures could work well for both casual or professional wear. It's always good when you can add something to your wardrobe without fear of seeing it on someone else the next week. With that; however, Galatea isn't someplace for young fashion, but rather a store for the woman who feels young at heart without necessarily being slotted into the "middle-age" genre of clothing. The clothes aren't inexpensive, though, so be prepared. Galatea also has some truly beautiful jewelry, scarves and handbags to complete whatever look you're after. The ladies working here cheerfully answered my questions and made recommendations on some of the jewelry I was perusing, but were not pushy, overbearing , or shadowing me around the store like some crazy stalkers. It's not a place I'd gravitate toward, mostly because it isn't my style; but I wouldn't mark it off my list if I needed something different.

I have shopped at Galatea for years and enjoy the curated selection of items that is different from…read morewhat you'll find at mall stores or even most traditional boutiques. Many of my Galatea items become favorites and get worn out because I reach for them so often. The prices aren't super cheap, but since I end up wearing the items for a few years they actuallyl become bargains. I'd rather pay $75 for a shirt I wear 100s of times than $12 for one that shrinks weird after two washings and has to go to the thrift store. The styles are mostly comfortable and unusual, but work well for artsy or relaxed offices, low-key dressy events and socializing. A friend characterized the clothes as "California" in style. The store stocks several Made In The USA brands and lots of organic cottons, linens, etc. They also have lots of locally-made jewelry, handbags, candles, etc. While it's a grown-up, non-trendy women's store, my 15-year-old has been known to pull an item off their substantial consignment racks in the back of the store and make it work in her teen wardrobe (she's a Free People, Madewell, Urban Outfitters shopper usually.) The staff is friendly and very low-key. If you prefer shopping without having to make idle small talk, they will allow that. If you want assistance and like talking through your wardrobe choices, they will do that as well. Bonus: they sell Locopops popsicles which is always nice on a summer afternoon!

Extremely disappointed and appalled with the service we received from Sarah today. This was my…read moresisters second appointment trying on wedding dresses. The appointment was going normally, with some pushy behavior from Sarah, but it was brushed off. However, once Sarah discovered my sister had purchased a dress at the previous appointment, she approached our suite and said "so I know we have another dress, I wanted to find out if you were serious about this appointment". The unprofessional behavior on top of the lack of integrity was the deal breaker. I cannot speak on the other attendants, but Sarah lacked empathy and intentionality. Her immediate response to my sister having purchased another dress was evidence of her perspective, that clients are only treated with as much respect as they are willing to spend.
