J Mode

Lovely store that I can no longer shop at. Please don’t sell fur. Fur from China??? Even worse.

J. Mode is a great clothing boutique in Salem. I agree with Chris M. — nothing super high fashion, but very nice products, including one of the softest shirts I have ever owned. They carry Trina Turk and 3 Dot, two of my favorite lines. Jewelry is fun and reasonably priced and I like the purses.
The staff, especially the owner, are friendly and knowledgeable, and want to help in any way possible. I also think a nice clothing store is a great addition to downtown Salem, as the only recent clothing stores have been a little on the old-​fashioned side.

I love J. Mode and the sales staff have been nothing but helpful and nice to me. They always help me pick out things that I wouldn’t choose for myself, but end up being my favorite pieces! A beautiful selection in a gorgeous store with very intuitive, non-​pushy sales help. Just another reason to shop in Salem on top of so many other great boutiques! So much better getting personal service where they remember you and smile versus the horrible service at the mall!

I think that the reviews below me are outrageous.
I’ve been to JMode several times, and received nothing less than amazing service. The sales people actually cared about what I needed and what I felt comfortable in versus forcing me to buy stuff. They were also very nice and friendly.
I’m so glad that there is finally a boutique like this one locally so that I don’t have to go into Boston! If you’re going to complain about the prices, then go somewhere else because the products that they supply are good quality and aren’t «chinsy,» they will last you a long time and are worth the price. The prices are reasonable, don’t let the other reviews fool you!

Update: I was dismayed today to find that my original review from three months ago (see below) had been deleted from the J. Mode page, leaving only the one glowing 5-​star review. I don’t know if the shop’s owner had any influence on this, but if Unilocal wants to be objective and allow people to honestly relay their experiences, they shouldn’t censor negative reviews. So I’m reposting my original review. Let’s see if it disappears again.
When J. Mode first opened, I was happy to see a stylish clothing boutique come to Salem. Upon shopping there, however, I discovered it’s a bit overpriced — Boston prices in Salem. But the prices aren’t why I gave J. Mode one star. I gave it one star because of the attitude of the sales associates. When my friend and I were browsing through the clothes racks, my friend noticed that the two young women behind the counter would look at her and laugh, then stop when she looked at them. When my friend looked away, they started laughing again. When my friend again turned to look at the sales associates, one of them said «Sorry,» as if to apologize for laughing. Now my friend is a plus-​sized woman, and the two associates were skinny. My friend was so disgusted at the fact that the sales associates were laughing at a customer that she walked out of the store. I followed her out the door, and neither one of us has been back since.
