Pretty Please

Pretty Please is such a fitting name for this little boutique. Their things are very pretty and the staff aims to please. Seriously, this is not some snooty Del Mar clothing boutique. The girls that work here are beautiful AND NICE!!! I felt like I received the service of Neiman’s with the prices of The Gap. I tried on a million dresses and the sales lady didn’t blink an eye and kept bringing me more. In the end I walked out of here with 3 dresses and I spent less than I would have paid for one dress somewhere else at the same price. But the thing I loved the most about this place is that even though the girls who work here are stunningly beautiful… they were not snobs. It was like spending a day shopping with your friends.

Amazing service and great prices for boutique clothing! The way the boutique is organized is great — by colors, seasons, occasions. Such high clothing prices for shocking prices! I got two amazing dresses for a bit over $ 60 with the check in coupon! I’ll be back!

Clothes selections are abundant here. However, they don’t carry too many sizes of the same item so when a small is sold, you’re best option is to buy a different color, if available, or get a size higher (or smaller). It’s rare that they carry size XS.
Make sure you check in to get a discount. You’ll need it since some of their items are oober pricey. Other Pretty Please locations may carry the same item, but price is inconsistent between stores.

Their return policy is OBNOXIOUS. Tried to return an (overpriced) item after 7 days and was told it was TOO LATE! Their policy is 5 days — even WITH a receipt. It didn’t matter at all that I have been shopping there since the store opened many years ago. Of course, they did not tell me the five day rule when I purchased the item. That seems to be their trick — make the sale final before anyone has buyer’s remorse for having overpaid. They did quickly point to the bottom of the receipt where it apparently contains the five day rule (couldn’t tell without my glasses!) Like they didn’t mention it because they figured everyone reads their receipts. .. I will not be going to this store again. I’ve sent many people to those boutique shops in Del Mar Highlands over the years but will steer people clear from now on.

Bought $ 100 worth of jewelry prior to a Vegas trip. One of the necklaces broke as soon as I went put it on. Was already disappointed by this as it was my main piece to accentuate a dress I was wearing. Took it back within 10 days and was told they simply do not do returns on jewelry, period. The piece was obviously defective. I think it would really benefit them to revise this policy. Personally, I will never shop there again after this experience which could have easily been resolved with a simple store credit. Cute clothes, but cheap price point and clearly you get what you pay for. Two stars instead of one because the girl who sold me the jewelry was super nice and helpful.

Great clothing options in such a small store. My wife always finds deals here that are great quality and fit well.
Check in to get a deal!

Cool lots of cotton and basic clothing. Maxi dresses, flows tops. I rRely find stuff here but I know some of my friends do. They have accessories too.

Though this store veers to more of a beachy/​flowy ascetic than I normally go for, I can’t help but stopping in here every time I’m at the Highlands. Pretty Please really is the place to go to for staple pieces like camis or maxi skirts. They also have a great selection of costume jewelry and little on-​trend bits & pieces that will enhance your look for the current season. I’ve also, at times, stumbled across some great bags.

What a surprise it was to go inside this boutique and discover such an awesome selection. At first I avoided it because I thought that it was for a more mature and. or hippie clientele but one day a few months ago something caught my eye in the window and I went it to check it out!
They’ve got awesome maxi brands like Sky and a ton of cute jewelry and tops-​I could do some serious damage in here! It does lean more towards the beachy and flowy, but there was definitely some adorable dresses and skirts I’m gonna have to pick up. So far I’ve purchased a few tops and a dress from here that I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on. It’s small and bit crowded with items so give yourself plenty of time to browse the selection.
There’s a few other options, plus a cute shoe store here in the highlands, enough to make a girls day out of it and grab some lunch nearby!

Rude service! I would have made a purchase, but the sales girl was rude and curt. I’m a Louis Vuitton-​carrying local, but I’ll gladly take my patronage elsewhere.

i have visited that place three times. Its a good place to get there and shop there.
The staff is quiet impressive.
I came know about this by my friend she is regular customer and having a lot of stuff like dresses an other accessories.
I would high recommend this for all.

Lovely boutique filled with great finding at affordable prices. My favorite part is the jewelry. Nice, pretty, charming with any overdose of sexiness (this is not a Bebe store!). It is very boutiquey, so all items coquettishly displayed. Clothes are really pretty, I never find anything I don’t like. Colorful tank top collection is higher quality than other stores like a Forever 21, and more color assortment. Full of elegant chic yet casual clothes. A paradise for feminine women who don’t try to be sexy yet want to appear nicely put. Great customer service.

Great finds at reasonable prices! I frequent the Carlsbad and Del Mar locations. Although if something isn’t available at one location they are great about sending it over from another location
Staff are helpful and super friendly! I’ve brought family and friends in and they love it too!
I would have given 5 stars, except the dressing areas are limited and it gets crowded quickly! I avoid weekends!

I want to write a review for the sister store that is next door called Daisy Blue. I bought a beautiful dress there that I saw in the window and it was major love at first site. Wore it once and the neckline started to roll over and expose the under lining… Disappointed and desperate I returned but they were sold out everywhere (It’s that fabulous of a maxi)… The store owner went above and beyond and had my dress repaired with their tailor and now it is as good as new! Will definitely shop here again. Customer service like that is hard to come by!

I love this place! The prices are decent and they have the brand, Lush, from Nordstrom. The staff is super nice and friendly. This store makes me want to be more of a boutique shopper.
Plus, their shopping bags are pretty and they wrap your items in «Pretty Please» tissue paper. Love it!

Great little boutique in Del Mar which has cute affordable clothes. I came through here yesterday with a friend of mine who shops there regularly.
Pro’s:
–Incredible amount of selection for what is a relatively small space. Most dresses are in a decent price range — think $ 40 – 60 but they do have some pieces that are over $ 100.
–Helpful staff — definitely answer questions and make calls to find items at other stores if they don’t have it themselves
–They carry some brands I’ve heard of and other that I’ve never seen before — it’s a good mix
Con’s:
–It can get busy in here and they don’t have enough dressing rooms when that happens
–It can be hard to spot who actually works there as almost everyone in the store is dressed the same
Overall, stop by if you are in the plaza or looking for a new place to shop

This is a bad lunch-​time addiction that I have a hard time staying away from. I work in the area and often stop in to see if I can find any new gems. I love the smaller boutiques relative to large department stores or franchises.
The service is 5 stars for sure! They are so accommodating — it’s about the shopper and the shopper’s experience. The women really enjoy helping you find what looks best and helping you try new things.
I used to rate this a 4.5 to 5, but over the past couple years the prices have gone up pretty high relative to some of the value you’re getting. Usually the items I am drawn to end up being somewhere near the $ 60-​$ 70 range for a unique blouse, which I’m not really willing to pay since some trends are fleeting. That’s been disappointing to see. I definitely still stock up on my denim and the occasional lower price point top or dress here though. The styles held are very trendy with some classics intermingled, but if you don’t follow the trends or don’t look good in the trends in season, this likely won’t be your thing. There has been an item or two that I’ve purchased that was low enough quality to only last one or two wearings, which was disappointing. But there are also items that have been in my closet for three years now and are still going strong. You can easily have the same experience at most fashion retail shops since there’s no way to ever guarantee every stitch in a piece of clothing (if you’ve ever sewn, you get it).
Overall, tons of selection, great styles, always updated on trends, and INCREDIBLE service. I just wish the prices weren’t steadily rising and that I hadn’t had a couple things fall apart on me too quickly.
Note that there are multiple locations of this store, which is great! Each location holds a little bit different styles based on their market, which is also great! And the Hillcrest one has a little more space so they tend to have great sales!

i have been here twice, both times with amazing service.
the first time the ladies hooked me up with a full outfit, down to the jewelry, all for under $ 60.
the second time, i came after dinner with the ENTIRE fam, sorry fam, and the girl brought out the dress i wanted to try on, and another one, that i wasn’t sure i liked.
i tried on both, the one i choose stank, but the one she chose looked super duper, she had an eye for it.
i bought it, (a gorgeous sequin thingy, short dress), for $ 50 and got it for a steal i think.
she was very attentive, and very helpful, and the store is lucky to have her!
thanks, i’ll be back, since this store is a VERY cute place for a quick outfit for any occasion, casual to dressy!

I love Pretty Please! They have a great selection in this tiny boutique, and I consistently find cute items that are unique. I’ve gotten several really cute dresses here, as well as sweaters and tops. I also like that their prices range from inexpensive, cute little tops to dresses that are a little bit more pricey– they have something for everyone. They also have styles that appeal to different ages. The staff are really friendly. I was actually just going through my dresses and realized that my 3 favorite «going out» dresses came from Pretty Please!

I wanted to write a review about the Hillcrest location but I couldn’t find a listing on Unilocal…
I have never been to the Del Mar location. I’ve only shopped at the Hillcrest store, and I have shopped… This boutique has such a great selection at great prices. I hosted a girl’s night shopping event before Christmas. My friends and I had such an incredible time. They keep asking me when I will host another… Kate and Clarece were so helpful dressing us all up. I highly recommend planning a girl’s shopping event. They close the store and let you bring in food and drink. It’s the best kind of girl’s party!!!
