Blue Ox Boutique — Local services in Eureka

I have been in the store a few times and have made a few small purchases. The last time I went in, I was greeted by a very young male clothing attendant. At first I was a little surprised, usually women work in clothing stores but they do sell guys stuff too so what ever. When I asked to try on two tank tops the guy asked me to give him my purse. I protested and said I have two items and I will come out with two Items I don't feel comfortable giving you my purse. I did not even have a large duffle bag purse but then the blonde manager came over a little huffy and insisted that I hand it to her, that it was "policy" I was shocked and said, no that doesn't sound right. Why don't you count the clothing I bring in like every other store? Fine she said. So I was allowed to keep my purse while trying on the two overpriced tank tops. They did not fit. I came out and looked right at another female employee held the shirts up, said, they did not fit and I can put them back for you. she just stared at me. As soon as I put them back the blonde manager came busting out of a back room loudly demanding her shirts. I told her that I looked right at her employee holding up the shirts and she watched me put them back. the employee said nothing during this and the lady did not believe me.."WHERE ARE THEY?!" she yelled. Right here, I said showing her. I said, check my bag, look under my shirt. I put them back and your employee watched me. It was awkward as heck, so I left feeling like a criminal. My question is why the hell would you treat your customers that way? Why the heck wouldn't you just have a garment counting system like every other legit clothing operation? I had thoughts that she was asking people to give over their purses so she could steal from them. This is assuming of course, but that is the way I felt. A customer should never have to leave their purse with employees, it defies logic. NEVER going back there again. That store is over priced, has bad vibes and wastes beautiful waterfront store space for...

Great vibes here.

The customer service is exceptional!

The girls there will educate you on their products like the CBD items that they carry there and right I away I was sold in which I bought plenty of CBD products from Blue Ox.

Cathy who is the lovely owner of the store was also very helpful in helping me choosing gifts to bring back home from my road trip in the Pacific Northwest. In this small town of Eureka, Blue Ox Boutique is a place to shop at for sure.

They carry brands like Publish which is always a plus to see in a store. The boutique looks dope with the front fence that they put up which it looks like they definitely put some money and care to their store compared to others I have visited in the past. Make sure you stop by!

Thank you for the...

Blue Ox has a ton of super cute, high quality pieces and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. However, if you’re larger than like, a size 8, this store is unfortunately not for you. I came in hoping to buy a dress but there was almost nothing but size smalls in every dress I looked at. As someone who is typically a large or xl, this was a bummer because I found a few things I really would have loved. I know that’s just how these boutiques have always been but come on, it’s 2024 y’all lol. The average size of a woman in the US is a 14/16. There’s a reason your larger sizes always...
