I have never been treated with such understanding until I met Kelly. She really took the time to understand the haircut and color I wanted and also made it so much better than I could have imagined. I have never had a stylist do that..they usually always acted like the got me but never did..Kelly wasn't afraid to ask me questions before she just went ahead and she made me feel so comfortable..
So Vain and Kelly have made me believe that amazing hair does exist if you find someone that gets it..and Kelly gets it.So do yourself a favor and get your hair done by Kelly..SHE IS AMAZING..KELLY!!!THANK YOU..
Pros: KELLY works their, amazing salon

I've been going to Archie's as long as I can remember, ever since it was on Stone Way, and it's never failed to disappoint or provide anything less than a stellar visit. There are so many good gift items here, from the novelty toys to the strange foreign instruction posters to the assorted odds and ends (New Kids on the Block trading cards, fingertip rubber monsters, magic 8, bacon strip band aids). There's also a deep and wonderful selection of postcards, including scenes of old Seattle, old movie posters and other strange scenes--buy some and send 'em to your friends. I seriously do about 50% of my holiday shopping here, year after year.
Pros: The amazing selection
Cons: Can be waaaay busy around Christmas

Do you think you've seen it all?! Well, not yet until you've stopped by The Old Curiosity Shop down on Pier 54 in Seattle. The things you only think happen in fairytales, you'll see preserved in Giant Jars. Three headed pigs, shrunken heads, who wouldn't want to go peruse the shop?

The university book store is one of my favorite seattle books stores. Not only do they have good prices and wide selection of textbooks, their selection of other books is hugely extensive. It's a really nice, relaxing atmosphere (except during the beginning and end of UW quarters). The staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, they have really good special events. The husky shop is pretty cool and the people in the media center are helpful. Overall, it's a really great bookstore.
Pros: Great selection, great staff
Cons: parking is a little annoying

Tulip is my favorite little jewel of a boutique. It has the most interesting mix of clothes with a strong point of view. I've found some of my most "classic with an edge" clothes there. The kind of things you can wear season after season.
The jewelry as well as the accessories are simple, understated and well-edited.
The sales gals are just great!
Always extremely helpful- finding sizes and giving honest opinions when asked for without being pushy or bothersome as I've experienced in other Seattle stores. Annie, the owner is often there and always helps to find the perfect thing.
Another bonus- Tulip is the only Seattle boutique I know of that carries Christy Turlington's Sundari line of skincare. There is nothing else like Sundari- it's the only high end skincare that has natural ingredients.
I always find something new and unique at Tulip!

Urchin is my kind of store! All the merchandise at Urchin is carefully selected--it's unique and fun. I always go to Urchin for birthday gifts and wedding presents and appreciate the knowledgeable and polite staff. I have recommended this store to all my family and friends. At this point we don't shop anywhere else!
Pros: unique gifts, polite staff

More
I wish I would have gone there for all of my halloween items, but I did get the last accessories there this year. They have aisles upon aisles of goods that go from grotesque to hilarity. I was very pleased with the selection of items and thoroughly enjoyed my shopping experience. Longer hours during the week before Halloween was also convenient. I may even go back for other holiday items--they have another side of the store with party and display items that looks pretty lucrative. I would recommend this store to people for Halloween as well as for general party items.
Pros: Great selections
Cons: Insanely busy around Halloween

I love to go places where people take care of me and the Sip and Ship is definitely one of those. From the minute you walk in the door with a stack of things that need to go to multiple locations, with no boxes, no tape- they take it on like it is no worry. Love that. From the "shipping' counter- I'm usually on to the "sipping" counter where I get equally great service and occasionally a piece of Squash bread from Macrina. This is also the place I hit when I am looking for a fun gift for girlfriend or new baby on the block...did I mention their cards...fantastic letterpress and local designers. This is a keeper!

We are shocked to see the details in the review of June 12, 2008 - we have historically prided ourselves in our firendly service and desire to please our customers. As the owner of Antiques at Pike Place, I write this response after many hours of internal review and staff communication regarding customer service and it's importance. It is absolutely our goal to cater to repeat customers - this is a big part of our business, and we have repeat customers locally and around the U.S. and the world who fly in to shop at our store each year. Thanks for the feedback, and being specific on the date... it's this kind of feedback that will ensure we do not lose focus on our customers.
