MyUnique Jamaica - Downtown (DJQ) — Attraction in New York

I had two experiences. Today they had a 50% off sale for MLK day.... my shopping experience was good... found some great finds at an amazing price... was feeling really good about the deal I'd be getting for some things I really needed to update my winter wardrobe. . but my experience went downhill when I got to the register.

They kept making announcements saying that there was 3 ways to get the discount today... through the app (which I had but wouldn't load and kept stopping) like there facebook page (which I did but once I did that they said the code wasn't working on the page to get the discount and the other option was to use the key tag (which they told me wouldn't work either since I did not have one already and they couldn't give me one) so I'm standing at the register embarrassed.... it was a huge scene like I did something wrong. . When I did what was announced by management to get the discount... but somehow technology wasn't on my side or the stores..... apparently. Security was standing right by me like I was doing something wrong. It was just very uncomfortable. I'm not sure if the app finally loaded or if the employee was just being sympathetic because I got the discount... but it was just a headache... getting it. Which is unfortunate because I was happy with my shopping experience just not checkout... and I left frustrated. Next time I'll screenshot the code for any sales if I plan on shopping that sale.

My advice to management.... would be if you announce various ways to get the discount in addition to having the app... make sure it's actually possible and working. My app wasn't working... which I assume was my fault... but the facebook wasn't working either.... which was misleading information...

I agree with other reviewers stating that prices here are over priced. You can go to a salvation army or goodwill and spend much less on comparable products. I saw some cute bags from Coach, Dooney and Bourke, and Kipling.I loved the bags until I saw the prices. Most of the designer bags are selling for $19.99, $24.99, and $29.99 respectively. The bags were in okay condition some had small defects but for these prices it is not worth their asking price. You can buy these same bags for less on eBay. I found one bag for $7.99 that appeared to be a green snake skin and super cute. When I got to the register to pay for my item the cashier indicated that the bag didn't have a tag. Before approaching the register I knew it was on so I found that odd. I asked if someone could create a tag, the cashiers response was not today, come back tomorrow. I don't reside in the area and after their lack luster service I will not return. I was sure it was on when I approached the register. There was not enough to bring me back to this location. Do yourself a favor and save your carfare and go to a different thrift store. If your shopping for specific items either shop online or on eBay. They are trying to mark up their goods to reflect online prices. Definitely not worth the time or effort...

Went in here to go to a hair braiding to get some faux locs done. To start the store is a big mess; some stations are clean while others aren't. The hair braiding place I went to was called Mariam's hair braiding. I will never ever go back there. The place was very small and dirty but I didn't really care about that as long as they could get the job down. I showed the ladies working there the style I wanted. I specified that I wanted it exactly like it. They said okay. Long story short the woman doing my hair tried to do some of the style but not everything. When I questioned her about it, she had an attitude. If you're going to have an attitude please don't do hair. To make things worse the lady doing my hair had me give her $40 to buy more packets of hair which she said I needed but come to find out she had used too much hair and I didn't have to waste extra money. I was really upset by this but I accepted it. What made me really upset was the fact that not even a day later, the locs which she said should last 6 months have started to unravel. In total I spent $240 for these locs and I'm extremely disappointed. I will be asking for a refund whether it's half or whole and I will be calling the corporate headquarters of Unique. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO A HAIR...
