alba boutique 716 Washington Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030

"Kohl’s quality and style for expensive boutique prices. Everything is cheap fast fashion quality polyester. The employees here are also make this feel like a tacky experience. On top of this, the largest size I could find in anything was a medium. I’m usually a M/L depending on the item, but I don’t like shopping at stores that refuse to acknowledge any sort of size inclusivity. No store that only sells lettered sizes (S/M/L over 0-20+) should be selling anything over $100."

"This was my first time in the store. I was shopping for a dress for an occasion. I tried a few on. There are no mirrors in the fitting room, you have to walk out into the store to see yourself. Not the hugest deal to me, but I could see others being bothered by this. I really loved this one dress but unfortunately they didn’t have my size. I ended up going with a different dress that I wasn’t in love with and need to have hemmed and I felt hesitant about it. I figured no big deal, if I find a different dress I will return this one. The dress was $285, which in my opinion is overpriced, there are already threads tearing from it in certain spots and I never wore it. I ended up finding a dress that fit me better elsewhere so I brought this one in 24 hours later to return and was told they don’t accept returns for your money back you can only get store credit. When I tried to return it, the sales associates pointed out their return policy to me on the counter which is very small literally font size 10. I was not told about return policy when purchasing. I wish they were more transparent about this because I absolutely would not have bought this dress if I knew I couldn’t return it. Buyer beware."

"I have bought a few items from this store. So I was quite surprised that when one time I walked out w/o buying anything, I get a sarcastic "have a nice day." That's low towards your regular customer. In addition, they do not have a mirror in the fitting space, so you have to walk out to see how it looks, but the staff would immediately come over and give all sorts of comment to sell the clothes to me. Lots of other boutique choices in the area, and the quality of their clothing does not always justify the price."

"Don't visit this place. I walked in and the employee didn't say a word to me the whole time, even when I asked for help. A white couple walks in and she gave them the biggest hello. I felt awkward and didn’t want to overthink it as a racist thing but my friend said the same thing happened to her days prior. Don't support this place. There's other cute, welcoming boutiques in the area."

"Wonderful experience. Super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff who you can trust to help style you for any occasion. They made finding the perfect dress so easy! I will definitely be going back. Plus their clothes are just perfect!"
