It's not Beverly Hills, it's Oakland..this i didn't mind. i went into the place looking for a wig. i'm ethnic, thus it was difficult to find the type of wig that wasn't "glossy" or just plain "wiggish"..never found one..When i walked in, the Asians can barely speak English.
I was directed to go to the "wig room" which was basically an open space with a counter. An old woman was helping people find the "right" wig. i sat in horror watching this old asian woman telling several clients at different times: "This rook good" "This rook good on you"..There was one woman in particular, a heavy set African american lady whom the wig lady donned a brassy blonde fall wig on. When the "Wig lady" walked away ..the young lady looked over at me and asked "Excuse me, what do you think?" i gave the "slash across the throat" gesture..she said, "I thought so"..i pointed to a wig that was far more fitting..she tried it on, and liked it..
i realized the wigs that the "Wig lady" says "rook good" are the most expensive in their collection - which wasn't saying much..i tried on a few, and didn't like the selection at all, just cheap wigs..as i was walking out, the "wig lady" said "you pay one dolla" it was for the wig cap..these were strewn on a desk, and you had to put them back when you were done...they actually looked like used black knee-high stockings..
i gave her $20.00, she didn't have change, pointed to the front to go get it..at the front the woman said, "you have to wait for someone to buy something, i can't give you change"..so i walked out..there was hardly anyone in there TO buy anything in the first damn place...
Pros: great ethnic hair product selection
Cons: when the wig lady says "rook good"..find another wig..

I think this is one of the most amazing clothing stores in the bay area. The product is exceptional & so high quality. You can find the most unique items and feel confident that you are truly getting something special and individual. The owner clearly takes pride in her work and her boutique. The customer services is wonderful and the overall experience is amazing. I wish there were more boutiques like this. It makes shopping a pleasure!

Clausen House's thrift shop has everything. I just bought a ton of sheets there the other day, plus a $5 and a $3.50 pair of pants. They have children's bike helmets, games and movies, tableware and books. It's all crammed into a small space but it's great savings and it benefits their nonprofit! Oh, and they have a lot of great furniture for sale hanging around outside.

It was my girlfriend's birthday and I wanted something nice for her, so I stopped by this store which my friend told me about and bought a robe for my girlfriend. She loves it and when i felt it, it was very smooth and warm like something you would were after a warm shower on a cold day. She enjoys it and know many of her friends go there to buy stuff from there.

I have only sold my used clothes to this store but have not purchased anything there. When shopping there, I noticed that the prices were not terribly low - I get a much better deal at garage sales. But when selling my old items, I get pretty good money for it, however the clothes must be in perfect condition and brand namish.
