Ambiance, Placerville CA

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 hire.
Shameful treatment.

Everyone in Ambiance is kind and willing to help find the right gift for my family and friends. It’s a beautifully arranged store. Lots of beautiful clothes to choose from.

Got there before their posted closing time but they wouldn't let me in to spend hundreds

Love this store. I walked in and all the merchandise was as if I purchased it for the store. The buyer has my number. Products are of good quality and priced right. Went in two days in a row while I was in Placerville. Purchased a pair of sunglasses, ring, and clothing. Will stop in for sure when I am in the area visiting friends.

The store has very cute bohemian chic clothes. A men's side (didn't explore that much) and the women's side. My only complaint would be that it might not be for the average shopper. I saw a very cute jean jacket, $198. A mindi dress, $225. Peasant blouse $125. All beautiful, but a little steep. The two dollar signs is a little misleading.

What can I say? This is my favorite store, period! I have purchased everything from blouses, pants, jackets, sweaters, purses, jewelry, shoes and lotions here. The ambience is so warm and inviting as are the marvelous staff. Hard to find these days. And all this on charming Main Street Placerville so enjoy a stroll afterwards!
