Highbar Boutique — Local services in Princeton

I just visited the store today and had such a bad experience. I live in Princeton for 5 years and was walking in downtown with my 8 months old baby and stop by to see the bag that cathed my eye. I decided to take a picture of the tag with all the information, because I really liked the bag to send it to my husband to give his some gift ideas for mothers day. The lady who's working there, presumably the owner, came to me aggressively and said that pictures are not allowed. I tried to explain that I only took a picture of the tag, not the bag, but she said that things get stolen 2 days later after people are taking pictures. She wasn't directly accusing me, but it was super embarrassing and I felt humiliated. It was other costumers in the store too. After she repeated it 3 times, like I don't understand what she was saying ( English is my second language) I left the store right away. I was shocked and offended. I thought, maybe it's a Louvre Museum, oh wait I've been there and they allow to take pictures. I didn't want to write this review, but still had aftertaste after I got home. So, I would never get anything from this store, although it was a very nice...

The owner is so rude and gave me the ick. The moment we walked in we were shot dirty looks by the owner and her employees/friends, while walking around the store my partner and I stopped to take a selfie of each other holding hands, at this moment the owner stepped in so aggressively and so rude to not take pictures in her store for security reasons. I calmly explained that we understood and that we only took a picture of each other (without mirroring her aggressive rudeness) and she once again repeats herself in a rude manner like we don’t understand English. Honestly she gave off racist vibes from the moment we walked in. (We are Hispanic) Super icky behavior on her behalf. We left in peace and I held my tongue because peace is always the option guys! Spend your hard earned cash...

I don’t write reviews often, but I have never been treated worse and discriminated against than when shopping here. While my mother was shopping outside, I thought I would enter the store and try to buy her something. When I entered, owner proceeded to follow me in and harass me while shopping. She tried intimidating me and stared me down and constantly questioned my intent for being in the store. After telling her I was shopping for my mom, she told me that I didn’t look like I was a serious shopper and ordered me to leave the store. I never thought I would be discriminated against and harassed the way I was especially in a town like Princeton. Pretentious, morally questionable, and mean owner who bullies their customers (maybe she just discriminated against college...
