ReForm School

This is a great place when I find extraordinary gift. They also have variety interesting things for home décor, handmade things, and just rare things.
I choose sometimes there a dress because here is a unique dress of different artist.
Also good service made this place one of the best of its kind.

Unique items, great support for local artists, friendly staff. But way too overpriced, and as one reviewer mentioned earlier, sparse stock.

Very cute shop with great gift ideas and nicnaxs.
Staff are v friendly too.

So far, I have purchased here:
1 handcrafted axe in a leather cover-​giftee loved
1 ice pick-​giftee loved
3 sets of earrings-​loved by all
1 necklace-​not loved (can’t wear it because it irritated my skin)
3 posters
1 tote
1 tomatoes in a can
1 duct tape wallet book
1 t-​shirt
multiple cards
Over several years. I love getting gifts here. Great selection of local artists.
One star off because of the necklace, and sometimes I think items are overpriced.

Every time i am around this area, i stop by most of shops on this street.
I was there on ²⁄₁₆ late afternoon and purchase few items. Prices are high but i bought it since i needed to get a gift for a friend.
The 1 star is for the service. The lady at the counter was really rude. Maybe she was sick that day… i dont know. Regardless the reason, it was a bad experience. When i asked some questions, she seem like she was like??? «whaatt?
My other friend who was shopping on the other side of store thought the same thing.
She didnt buy anything because she was rude.
will not go back.

Reform school is one of the coolest boutique shops in Silverlake.
Each time I come the storefront is different and all the products are cute and nostalgic. A bit on the pricey side for the clothing but it’s a boutique, no worries.
However, I’m not rating on the customer service moreso the products and clothing.

Pretty cool store. Lots of random items and trinkets which every hipster needs. Even those who aren’t hipsters can shop here. Lots of unique gifts.
Unfortunately for me, the prices seem high for me. I understand these are one-​of-​a-​kind items, but some of them can be pricey.
Nevertheless, it’s definitely worth a browse and why not purchase something while you’re there to support a local business?

THE
PROBLEMS
BEGAN
LAST
WEEKEND
After my BFF and I were shopping in SUNSET JUNCTION after stopping into our prized possession SHOP MYRTLE in Echo Park. We said, «Let’s go drink juice and see the sights.» We were going to a pretty serious birthday party that night and were kind of both in the market for an outfit. After visiting Naturewell and bopping into Secret Headquarters I suggested we take a look in REFORM SCHOOL. Sweet man! I really like that place and have gotten a handful of great things from there in my time.
About four minutes after setting foot in the store I found a couple of cute dresses that I wanted to try on so asked my BFF if she could throw out our completely empty juice cups which we had sucked dry for nutrients. She obliged but then I overheard the thing that changed my perception of this store forever. As she approached and asked for a garbage to put them in the woman at the front told her they don’t throw away the juices because it attracts «things.» Three things about this were strange, a) there was no juice in the cups, only remnants of juice b) there are 0 public garbage cans in Sunset Junction and the nearest ones were both a full block down the street in either direction (a problem I experienced when lived around there that always boggled my mind) and c) if you take out your garbage at night since you are a store then what «things» are there to attract?
I immediately put away the dresses I wanted to try on and left feeling annoyed. I stopped over at the new store next to them called BUCKS AND DOES and bought a really awesome dress that I wore that night and can’t get enough of. It’s so sad that they literally lost a pretty good sale and an entire two customers because they couldn’t throw trash in their waste basket for us. Sincerely, pretty stoopy if you ask me.

Stopped by today for the first time. Truly enjoyed the overall aesthetic of the store.
However, when I tried to initiate a conversation with the woman working there, it was as though she was thoroughly annoyed by my questions and had no desire to speak to me. I felt this was rude, seeing as my questions were sincere AND I was the only person in the store.
Took her all of 3 minutes to lose a customer for life.

One of a kind shop. Unique finds made by independent artists.
Great selection of home décor, gifts, stationery and now vintage clothing.
Plus they always have great window displays and above and beyond customer service.

My family was visiting from NYC and we took a stroll around Sunset Junction so, we walked into this lovely looking shop. We were browsing for about a minute and had a question about an item. The woman who worked there was curt and oddly sarcastic in her answer. And just as soon as we’d entered, we left. Piece of advice: if you’re trying to sell overpriced «organic» items, at least pretend to be a nice person. It usually helps sales, which I can’t imagine are that great considering the attitude and prices. Never will I return to this establishment.

This store has some good finds, but the woman working there was sour and made the place seem less fun.

A Vintage Boutique. They Always have Something New.
I like this place a lot. They have a little bit of everything. Collections of art from local and traveling hipster artists. Even though the selection is small they have some great pieces of vintage clothing. I just like visiting this place to see what new artist they are featuring.
I believe it is cash only, so be prepared.

Visited Reform School today after bookmarking it on Unilocal as a place to visit. I must say, the pictures I had seen on my phone looked nothing like the place I went to visit. My friend and I were both disappointed. There were several nice items and I like how they feature the work of local artists. It was not stocked well, in my opinion and items were a bit pricey for what they were.
It’s a clean store, with a great ambiance walking in. It’s quieter than a library, I don’t know if that’s good or bad. It definitely is original and unique (in my opinion). It’s just sparse in items and overpriced.

Decent store, but i felt like it was a little sparse on items. Was looking for some stationary but nothing in the store really caught my eye. It was a pretty quick walk in and out again.

Dearest ReForm School,
I like your style. You’re a petite store with a keen aesthetic. And If any of my adorable friends should need adorable gifts for their adorable birthdays, it’s into your arms I’ll go. Don’t go changing.
Sincerely,
CB

It was as if I walked into a children’s book coming in here.
Card catalog organizers hide trinkets from the forest of magic.
I’d imagine elves might shop here. That the elk run from here.
Shadow puppets, head bands for maidens fleeing merlin to enchanted paper castles.
Custom music boxes and zines.
If the books Lemininy Snickets and Matilda were real & a store, this would be it… minus the taxidermy unfortunately.

So much attention to detail. I shop in this store like it’s a museum with little treasures that I get to take home. I take my time and adore every thing, before I pick out gifts for myself and others.

Cute store– the type of store that I would normally be ridiculously excited about, but…
But– dude, the guy behind the counter– was super unexcited about his job, didn’t want to answer questions, couldn’t remember the web address (he told me just to look up Reform School online– FYI people reformschool pops up a porn site…), looked annoyed when we asked for prices… It was just a really blagh experience… This is the type of shop where you want to talk to someone who’s excited about the stock, the classes, and is willing to string together a few sentences to sound friendly.

As I was looking for gift ideas, this place hit me like a flash.
I was always looking for unique gifts and obviously everyone’s favorite store is Wacko. Very close by was this funny name of a gift store I felt was aptly name with wonderful unique gift ideas that will bring back tons of memories from yesteryears.
I stopped by here before when I was at this year’s Sunset Junction and instantly fell in love with this place. I was totally intrigued by the name of the store and thinking it was going to be some lecture hall… or maybe truly is indeed a reformed school.
Never would I imagine a store that was filled with books, bags, shirts, and other accessory items that you would be happy to look at. Try to get in your head that this is like a Hello Kitty store, but transformed into a free spirited store that catered to your inner child’s need to go back to elementary school.
No way am I saying that I need school supplies or wanting to relieve my childhood. Just the fact it gave me tons of cool tote bags and books that I can shared with my young family members or a cool gift ideas for future birthday gifts, it scored some very cool points.
Currently I am eying an old retro lunchbox that would be a cool gift for one of my friend. Stationary items of all sorts are here too. This place fits the locale as I cannot fathom anywhere else it could opened up and thrive on other cities.
Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for the gift for the inner child of your love ones.
