I normally donāt play the race card but Iām doing it today. I went into this store for the first time ever. Four to five employees passed me by, never even looked up to speak or ask if I needed help with anything⦠it was like I didnāt even exist. To add, I was the ONLY customer in the store so it wasnāt like they were really busy. I browsed for about 10 mins, still nothing. I decided to leave after the coldness because obviously, my business wasnāt wanted at this store. As Iām getting ready to leave the store, 2 Caucasian young women walked in, they were instantly greeted with a smile, asked if they needed help and EVEN told them about the current promotions. At the same time, as Iām walking through the store to get to the EXIT, the young lady at the register THEN proceeds to ask, āCan I help you with something?ā I replied, āNo thanksā because at that time, I had felt a certain type of way so I decided to leave. As Iām leaving, the same young lady (at the register)stared at me, as if I was the plague as I exited. I will ABSOLUTELY never come back to this store. A colleague encouraged me to shop at this store because I was looking for attire to wear to a conference. I own and run a business, I will NEVER tolerate my employees and nor will I ever treat a customer or potential customer this way. This behavior will never be tolerated in my establishment. I saw several things I liked and wanted to try on but I felt uncomfortable. That was very unprofessional. I was actually excited about going there to shop because of what my colleague showed me online. Well, guess thatāll...

The only reason I gave four stars is because of the quality of the jewelry. I only bought my 18k gold monogram beaded bracelet three months ago. I store it properly away from any other pieces and I donāt wear it to bed or in the shower. Two months in to me wearing it, the gold began fading and just last week the bracelet turned my whole wrist green. It was disappointing for the price I paid and because I talked at length with a store representative about the quality of the jewelry.
Aside from that, Altarād State is one of my favorite boutiques. They always have great sales, a very nice collection of Hosanna Revival bibles/journals, and the dresses are strikingly...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI love this store, but this location and staff ruined the experience for me. I was minding my own business. I was shopping for hair accessories and jewelry. When an employee decided to approach me and tell me about their new line a beautiful soul for plus size women. I felt like I was being told to go to that side of the store when I can wear items in the regular size and thatās not even what I was looking for. I felt body shamed. Not to mention the name of ābeautiful soulsā is basically implying that these people have a beautiful soul but nothing else and thatās not true. This place may have tried to do something positive about adding a plus size line but they have gone about it the wrong...
