Ambiance Women's Men & Children's Boutique — Local services in Placerville

I am visiting my parents from France with my daughter and went to Ambiance today, while shopping my daughter wanted to use the restroom. The “manager” ask my daughter after looking her up and down if she was a customer. She said yes, she laughed and told her she was not a customer.

My daughter was so embarrassed and mortified. Then told me, and I asked the women, Mira - Mera, if she said that to my daughter; she then actually lied to me and said no she did not say that. So not only did she offend us, then she lied. However, when I brought my 25 yr old daughter she could not lie, so she admitted that she did in fact tell her she was not a customer.

She then had to defend herself. It gets better, the shop worker does not apologize but said, “if you had to clean up feces in the bathroom, you’d ask too.” She said this twice. Wow!

So 3rd insult l. I have never been so offended in a store ever. I just walked out as there was no point. She was more concerned about defending herself than simply apologizing. She did apologize, but only because she was obligated to do so, I guess. And boy was it a short, I’m sorry.

Glad I have never had to write a bad Goggle review, however, this was so offensive I had to post this.

Vote with your wallet.

My parents had already bought 100s of dollars of Xmas gifts there; mine are being donated. I would never step foot in there again if this is the type of employees they...

I passed through Placerville while on business and stopped in the historic downtown area for lunch. I parked near this store, and the items out on the sidewalk rack and in their window looked cute and of high quality, so I went inside. There's an impressive wide variety of clothing, accessories, and gifts. The customer service was lacking, though. I had an armful of items to try on, and nobody asked if I needed help. I found the dressing rooms on my own, and nobody ever checked on me. I had to get re-dressed, then head back out into the store to find another size. Each employee was completely focused on the representative from one of the apparel lines the store carries and not paying any attention to the customers in the store. I ended up buying a pair of jeans, two tops, two pairs of earrings, and two greeting cards. I'll likely go back the next time I'm in town, and I hope the employees are more engaging and helpful on...

Ambiance is a dangerous place! Every time I go in for one specific thing (usually a unique gift) I end up buying for myself also. It's impossible not to love this boutique. They have fun jewelry, purses, belts, shoes and clothes, all at great prices. Yesterday I bought the most adorable Xmas tree ornament, a necklace and a bracelet. I found the cutest long furry/fuzzy sweater that at $69 was an absolute steal! You won't be disappointed by this Placerville...
