Ron Herman at Fred Segal

09/21/2007 Posted by mizsjr

I'm a slightly larger than average girl on an average budget, and I've had good experiences shopping at Ron Herman and Fred Segal. I'd always assumed their sales staff would be snobby and unhelpful, but they were very sweet and gave me good advice. I'd definitely shop there again. =)

I love shopping at Fred Segal. The service cant be horrid, but I dont care as I dont need them to shop and choose what I like anyway. Great cool funky jewelry and acccessories....especially the jewels ...and not mall jewery store, QVC ,made in china, gold garbage that 100,000 people already have. When I was there last I bought a necklace by designer Teri Bienvenue ...Whoopie Goldberg was there and bought the same necklace, but mine was with different stones and charms. She was so cool and mellow and told me I have great taste. We also got the same pair of Jenna Dell socks...Whoopie then jokingly said "Now you're scaring me" . It was so cool. The accessories and funky little purses and cool belts are my true weakness, especially the inez jibara collection...I've not seen her stuff any where else so maybe she's a cool local "homegrown" designer that Fred Segal especially loves. Anyway when in the LA area, and love clothes,just go to Fred Segal. The sales help is pretty worthless until you check out...but thats okay... the stuff you leave with is soooooo incredible. I'm in LA twice a year, Fred Segal is always a definite stop.

Pros: great clothes, great celebrity watching.

Cons: service is awful, but i think thats expected !

I have visited Fred Segal several times in the last few years and each time I go in hoping to leave at least not angry. Each time I am disappointed. The sales people are condecending and not at all helpful, the managers are even worse, the clothing is beyond overpriced and mostly inapporopriate if you are past high-school aged. When I asked if I could return a bottle of perfume that I had recieved as a gift I was told, "No, because I said so." The only positive experience I had was visiting the beauty supply shop where at least a few of the sales people seemed happy to help me.

Pros: beauty supply shop

Cons: parking, staff, expensive

Excited about going to Fred Segal! But wasn't too impressed. Nice duds I guess...but I couldn't get anyone to help me. In fact, I'm pretty sure there were no sales people in the store. Maybe next time, I'll walk out the door with an armful of clothes to see if anyone notices. I like not being pressured by sales people, but a hello would have been nice.

Pros: nice store, cute clothes

Cons: invisible sales peopl, invisible me

fred segal is really hyped up as this amazing shopping experience, but there's not much to it. lots of different designers at premium prices, and attitude to boot. the sales people are all singing along to the music that's blasting in the speakers and acting like they're too busy to actually do their job.the kids' section is cute,albeit WAY over-priced. the beauty product section has a few nice companies and fragrances that aren't available everywhere. the little restaurant isn't bad for lunch, that is if the staff isn't giving you attitude while you're PAYING.

Pros: decent designers, beauty/home products

Cons: attitude, high prices

I don't know how many times I've been there and noone acknowleges that you are there unless you are a celebrity or a friend. I literally stood at the counter for about 9 minutes before one of the three employees noticed me.I was going to leave but I thought I would humor myself to see just how long it would take.

Pros: unique items

Cons: attitude, customer service

I shop all the time in town and live by many cute boutiques but I do really like Fred Segal. I didn't think the selection was anything particularly special but it was cool and I will return. Cool vibe, too and the store is relatively spread out so you're not digging through racks and racks or bombarded. Was not at all impressed with the shoe section but loved that they had a separate place for buying travel stuff. Excellent, excellent parking - that alone is worth the visit.

Pros: great parking, nice layout, nice stuff

Cons: pretty standard, pricey

This is absolutly the best place to see celebrities in L.A. Every time I have gone there I have seen at least 2 celebrities. Some I have seen and met were Robin Williams, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Ozzy Osbourne. They also have a really great cafe.

Pros: celebrity spotting, great cafe

Cons: little parking, bad service
