They had a lot of items I liked. The staff was present in the store, but I had to ask for help. The girl I asked took the time to look up an item I was interested in, but it was mostly sold out in store and online. She said that they could order it but there was a chance they would not get it due to the fact that the online quantity was so limited. I appreciated her candor and did not order the item. I tried on a few items and decided on my purchase. I had heard the previous cashier tell someone that they did not have much change in the register so if the person was paying cash they couldn't take any large bills. When it came time to pay I decided to pay cash, but apparently they had to use a different register for that. I had exact change, so she moved over to the next register. It took her awhile to figure it out and she had to call for help. Eventually, she figured it out but I felt bad for the person waiting behind me. I will definitely be back. They had some really nice items and are not far from me.

I usually opt for jewelry, bags and accessories but the sales ladies were encouraging and inspired me to try on some items outside of my comfort zone. The quality of their denim is unbeatable. The staff were attentive and helpful, and Stacey at the register was SO wonderful. I forgot they had my birthday on file so I got an extra discount on top of the sale items and she absolutely made my day. Her energy was so contagious that my friend and I walked out of the store literally beaming. Thanks Stacey!!!

The minute you walk in, you can tell it's different from the surf shops around, the decor is cool, relaxed, hip and clean. This unisex shop carries unique pieces from top quality brands that range from casual to sophisticated. Whether you need a new pair of denim shorts or a dress for a wedding; they've got it. The staff is extremely helpful and happy to make suggestions; without being pushy. Socorro is an amazing "personal shopper" and has picked out things that looked better on me than what I chose for myself! I am a pretty experienced shopper so trust me when I say this place is special.

When I walked in the store, Rachel greeted me so warmly and introduced herself offering any help I may need. As I wandered through the various racks in the store, she checked up on me every so often to make sure that I was finding everything OK. Usually, this annoys me, but her demeanor was so kind. I didn't mind. Unfortunately, I didn't find any dresses that I liked, but I did manage find something. When I got to the counter, there was no one there so I waited a little bit. The girl who had been ringing up people prior, apologetically came to help me. She rang up my purchase applied my discount and I was on my way. The next day I got an email that there were further markdowns. This always seems to happen to me with loft. I think I'm just unlucky that way. Still happy with my purchase either way. It's so nice to have an easy, friendly, quick shopping trip sometimes and that's what this was. I'll definitely be back in the future.

I didn't have the receipt from the bag, but I had the bag and I had the item with tags on . she very pleasantly through her register Magic looked up my item and seamlessly processed my return. She was very put together and stylish and as she was doing my return, we chatted I found out she's actually a high school student getting credit for work experience. She had come to her job straight from her school day. I feel she takes her job very seriously and she looked very professional. She handled herself in a very mature way, and on top of that the store was spotless. All the displays were beautiful. Everything was folded and organized. I think loft was very smart to hire this young lady . for such a young girl, She is very accomplished. She is an asset to loft.

I did NOT enjoy your entire "team" as I ONLY enjoyed doing business with Mo and another gal, slim…read moreand tall, so pretty and youthful with long chestnut hair, Daniel and lovely, equally radiant, sweet, pretty Kyle. The female BRUNETTE/DARK HAIR salesperson, Maribella/Bella was tooooo busy trying on clothes and sneakers for her own benefit to be bothered with customers and she was VERY irritating loud complimenting herself constantly! TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS!!! I was so happy Mo was helping me and compliant, sweet, efficient, kind gal, Daniel. It was not until I returned evening of May 27th that I learned the gal I just mentioned is named Bella and then later reading my receipt saw her name spelled as Mirabella. That put 2 and 2 together when I called earlier this month about product availability that Mo was NOT working that day and I spoke with a female named Bella who was BEYOND irritating responding with idiotic replies which smacked of SLURS that I found humiliating attempting to PUT DOWN Mo's fine character by the degrading comments, how Mo has "LOTSSSSSS OF CHILDREN!!! MO HAS A LOT OF CHILDREN!!!" She made Mo sound like some illicit trollop FREAK! I hoped I would never have to speak with HER: BELLA again! BELLACOSE BUMPKIN is MORE LIKE IT! An EXTREMELY obnoxious and unsettling personality TRYING TOOOO HARD, TOOO ARTIFICIAL, TOOOO PHONEY, TOOO 'being BOTHERED' ! FAKE, artificial and for goodness sake I am trying to shop so GET OUT OF MY FACE BELLA idiot!!!!!!!!! Sadly I returned May 27th to pick up socks since I had received a $10. certificate offer OnLine. You know, like WOW: $18. checkered 3 pairs of pastel socks for only $8. + tax! GREAT! I gathered those and a TOOOOOOOOO IN MY FACE BELLA was there, the same gal trying on clothes that other day, informed me NICE Mo was not working today! BUMMER! Neither was sweet Daniel. DOUBLE BUMMER! I looked around and saw that GREAT: Van's finally has some male energy and hired another guy! COOL! I asked the guy for help, telling him that and he whispered TOOOO OBVIOUS into an earphone and HE disappeared and suddenly BELLA was IN MY FACE LOUD AS A BULLHORN making me SO nervous! Something has GOT TO BE WRONG with Bella because normal people don't act that way. And the stuff she said was so STUPID, making NO sense but OBVIOUSLY smacked slurs of racism, prejudice, bigotry, homophobia and all together TOTAL mandrist HATE OF MEN/MALES! Hey! I don't judge proclivities nor leprechuans! NOTHING MAGICAL ABOUT BELA Lugosi!! I tried to get away from Bella wondering where the fab sales guy was and she did NOT let up on us! She was SO CONFUSED and discombobulated handing me the other guys items to buy and I had to correct her and tell BELLA those are NOT my items! I'm NOT paying for those!!! I just asked for a bucket hat and checkered socks! Bella got a bucket hat from the back but it was no the flowered bucket hat OnLine Vans! I bought it and the socks with the other person's stuff NOT happy with the point explaining to almost wriggle out of a truth she was giving me(!) This "BELLA" is so transparent and unauthentic I had a HORRID experience and do NOT want to ever wear the items I bought. She threw off my peaceful, beautiful day! My friend said he never wanted to return to this Vans store every again!!! I told him, I am returning tomorrow the 28th to RETURN EVERYTHING I bought from Bella because every time I will go to wear these items I will think of HER and that horrid experience I felt blocked into!!! THAT is NOT a good salesperson!!! I sure hope she is NEVER EVERY considered for Manager! How could she be with the ridiculous racist slurs she threw our way! In my book, BELLA, YOU'RE FIRED! I hope Mo will be there tomorrow and not self-obsessed, narcissit Bella/Mirabella. NOTHING "Mira Bella" about her OBTRUSIVE and OBNOXIOUS personality! She is so totally NOT Vans material!!! Pity because I own so much VANS and bought Vans stuff for our friends in Italy! - Italy LOVES Vans by the way! I'm so sorry to say this but it is the truth and I'm sorry but I will be returning all my purchases! Pity the store did not have in the flower Bucket Hat I initially asked for. I'm NOT a black garments person which remind me of funerals and death. I like sunshine colors! - Mr. Mark Gonzaga, former Public Official, Los Angeles County, Star Trek VULCAN Noble TOS. and LAPD Who Framed Roger Rabbit. GOOGLE ME: Mark Gonzaga Star Trek Memory Alpha. ADDING: I RETURNED MAY 29TH AND HAD MY FRIEND GO IN TO RETURN MY BUCKET HAT AND SOCKS WHICH TERRY DID AND HANDED ME THE RECEIPT. TERRY TOLD ME THE OBNOXIOUS GAL BELLA WAS NOT THERE BUT THE SWEET GAL WAS THERE, DANIEL and Kyle. I WENT IN SIDE SO PLEASED TO SEE DANIEL AND KYLE! WE HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! DANIEL AND KYLE ARE SO VANS WONDERFUL! SUCH RADIANT PERSONALITIES PERSONIFYING VANS IMAGE! TERRY BOUGHT SOME STUFF AND WE ASKED IF WE COULD TAKE A PHOTO WHICH THE GALS WERE HAPPY TO DO SO!

Yesterday I went into the store in Encinitas and I had a very specific pair in mind and of course they were right in front of me... Perfect. But the best thing was, when I went to check out the lovely cashier said to me, would you like to use your family plan credit? I had no idea what it was so I said sure. She said well then your total for the shoes are $30! I was astounded that Company like vans even knows who I am or what I am but their system does and they rewarded me for being a good customer. They have my business for life, a great company.

She chatted with me politely and told me about the great blouse I chose, then continued to show me other pieces that were on sale which had the same "style" -- needless to say, with Olivia's help, I walked out with 5 blouses for me&sis, 2button down shirts for my uncle, 2blazers that I can pair with the one linen pants that I didn't know I needed. ;) talk about upselling! LOL! Olivia was great. She was friendly and didn't pressure me to buy. She just walked around the store with us and pointed out all the great sale items that suited my own outfit. 10 new summer pieces and all on sale! What an awesome buy!!
