After 20 years in the business, I am still excited before each and every buying show.Ĥ) The customer service at Ambiance has been rated top notch. Like any other business, it is hard work, not all that glamorous but one that has a glamorous end result. The second hardest part is staying on top of current trends and the changing tastes of your demographic. Great businesses are not built by the owners alone. That is the hardest challenge and yet the most rewarding part.
The fashion business like any other depends on hiring and retaining great personnel. I worked in the fashion business for 10 years prior to buying Ambiance, and my husband and I always wanted to own our own store. Our goals are to possibly open another location and start selling on-line.ģ) What has been the hardest part about being in the fashion business? The most rewarding? It had one location in the Haight-Ashbury and had been there since 1983. We employ more staff so the client can get styling advice and help when she needs it. We also carry everything you might need, so we can sell you the complete outfit, like a mini-department store with a non-corporate boutique flair.Ģ) How did Ambiance first get started? What are your goals for the clothing stores over the next 5-10 years? Other than our carefully selected and edited assortment of clothing and accessories, I would say our customer service. What do you think is unique about Ambiance that sets it apart from other women’s clothing stores? Here is some more information from Ambiance SF Owner, Donna O’Leary herself:ġ) Ambiance has been voted “Best Women’s Clothing Store” and “Best Women’s Boutique” several years running. If you are considering hosting your own private shopping party at Ambiance, I suggest you stop by one of their locations first to check it out! You will find that they emphasize variety, affordability, and a very personal shopping experience. There were also private dressing rooms available for each of us, with plenty of space and comfort. They had great styling advice based on our needs and preferences, ranging from work outfits, dresses for special occasions, to more relaxed day-to-day clothing and accessories. I must mention that the customer service at Ambiance was phenomenal! All of the sales associates were helpful and easily available, but never pushy. We were then quickly oriented to the store, including the tremendous sale selection, before being encouraged to start looking around. I recently had the opportunity to host a private party there with eight of my closest friends, and we had such a blast! Julie, the District Manager, greeted us all by name at the door, welcoming us with a glass of champagne and big smiles.
