Absolutely wonderful. I had a last minute cancellation from my regular hair stylist--for my wedding. However, she recommended Trever, and now I recommend him to you. The morning of my wedding, Trever was on time (early, in fact, at 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday at that), kind, and just a general joy to be around. He styled my hair beautifully, and I'd gladly visit again.
Pros: Trever and the rest of the lovely staff
Cons: None

My daughter & I, along with 2 very close family friends, arrived a bit early for our appointment but our consultant, Susie, was ready to help us immediately. The store was busy with prom dress buyers & their friends & moms, along with a couple other brides with moms trying on dresses. All the consultants, including the owner, were gracious, helpful, patient & kind with all. After many gowns and narrowing our choices down to "3", my daughter tried on each dress again for us to pick our "favorite." There was not pressure or pushiness to buy, just a lot of time & work on the workers' behalf to make a bride feel special & beautiful. The next day the bride, daddy & I went to another location that carried a differnt brand of dress we were interested in. Afterwards, we wanted the bride's daddy to see what we saw the previous day so we called Diamond's & Susie told us to definitely come back in. She and the owner were ready for us! When trying on "the" dress, they chose jewelry & hair comb and dressed her in that too and then did the "WOW" factor by turning off all the lights except the running light. Our bride just glistened! It was incredible. The price of the gown is very reasonable. Susie had asked for the bride's "budget" & she only showed us gowns in that price range. We looked at the dress on line & the pricing is the same. We could not have received better customer service, personal attention and making the experience of trying on dresses more exciting. Thank you, ladies, for all you do. You have a special gift and talent. We appreciate your service.

I love this independent bookstore! They are the premier place in Raleigh for author readings and book signings. Their selection is excellent. They even carry imported British mysteries and Dover thrift classics (so you can pick up school reading quite cheap!). The selection of reading-related gifts is nice. The staff is very helpful and willing to help track down a book you're interested in. The selection of local authors is very strong. They often have more than one edition of a book available, great if you're looking for a nice hardback edition of a classic or a paperback just for a course.
The children's book selection is very nice; I am particularly impressed with the large variety of board books (including the GIANT board books), bathtub books, and foreign-language children's books.

My best friend recently got married. I served as her maid of honor and accompanied her on all appointments and shopping excursions. She bought her dress from Bridal Boutique of Raleigh and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience.
Even though the dress she bought was a store-sample they were clearing out, they never treated her as a second-class customer. Beware that there are extra fees (which they offer to turn into a package, which we took) for fittings, but this seems to be the norm for bridal shops. They were happy to adjust and tweak alterations until she was very pleased with the results, and all of the work was just *beautiful*. The staff was very helpful with picking out accessories that would go well with the dress and supportive of whatever the bride decided (even when it meant that she would not be purchasing some pieces from them). Everything was ready when promised.
For another friend's wedding, two of the bridesmaids realized Thursday night before a Saturday wedding that their dresses needed to be re-altered. The staff was willing to rush the necessary alterations and arrange for a pickup by another person. The new alterations were ready when promised and still excellent work under the rushed schedule.
If I ever marry while living in this area, I will certainly use this boutique. Even though discount stores and outlets may be cheaper, every bride I know who has used this shop has been pleased with the great level of customer service.

Bridal boutique of Raleigh was so helpful when I chose my dress. Other places made me feel like a sale they made me feel like a bride to be for the first time. The sales girl was helpful without being pushy. She made suggestions about what would look good and what didn't. I was suprised when we were both teary eyed over my dress. They do not take appiontments and are packed on Sat. but that was part of the fun. They made me feel like family instead of a visa card. I am buying my bridesmaids dresses there as well.
Pros: not pushy helpful and lots of choices
Cons: packed on Sat

In a city of malls, shopping centers and the same store at every turn, Zest is a refreshing change. They carry every kind of specialty gift you can imagine - from pocketbooks to hand designed glasses to games for children. The prices reflect North Raleigh living but are very comparable to many stores in the area. This is the first place to go if you know someone who has everything and you need to get them a gift. (Note: I have not eaten at the cafe so I cannot comment on it.)
