5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I value my time and am a conscientious consumer. Here I felt respected and my reflective nature was appreciated. Nonetheless, I did not buy on my first trip. I shopped and found the experience overall debasing in most salons. A lack of pleasant attitude in this industry is opposite of what you would imagine. Believe me it exists. Not at Renee Strauss. It is warm from the moment you enter and is exuded in every department. These women know their jobs. I appreciate their enthusiasm and their expertise. I am happy with my purchases and refer with confidence. Shop with an open mind and relax when ready to buy!

Pros: Quality

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

OMG! My experience was great. This place is a hidden gem! My sister bought her dress from Renee years ago and loved it. I live out of state and my first experience in Beverly Hills was last weekend. The staff at her store are some of the most "down to earth, knowledgable and REAL" sales staff that I have ever met. I went to Saks, Monique and L'ezu all in which I felt like a second class citizen. At Renee Strauss I felt like FAMILY! You walk in the door and the girls there have the biggest smiles. Right away you see glamorous gowns everywhere and are a bit in awe. The ladies got right down to business in finding out what my personal style is and what type of dress I was looking for. After trying on 4 gowns (all of which I loved) I told them I wasn't ready to commit just yet (I thought I would feel pressure from our salesperson but I was suprised) my consultant simply told me to take the week to sleep on it and said my "dreams" would tell me which dress to pick. I thought that was super cute. I wish I could afford all 4 dresses but I am gonna take their advice... I'll be back.....
