Love this stop. Way better than the AnA back home in Charleston. While I did not quite find the charm set I was looking for, (ended up ordering it online from their site) the staff was extremely helpful and everyone I walked by asked if I needed something… I did not .but just the same it was nice that they seemed to care. Something interactive in-​store to browse and order would be cool. just a thought.

Just recently learned about Alex and Ani so I had to take a trip to the store to browse. The store was pretty busy when we walked in, but we were greeted moments after we stepped inside. The 2 ladies working were super busy but they assured us they’d be with us shortly. Once one person was free she came to us and offered her assistance. I explained that I’d been online and had a list that I was interested in. After a chuckle about the list, she hurried to start pulling all the bangles I had written down. I was happy to learn that they had every single one I wanted in stock so I could have my instant gratification!
I walked out with 6 new bracelets (2 were gifts) and a huge smile on my face. Needless to say, I will be back — probably with another list — in the very near future. What’s not to love about positive energy, lots of bangles, and endless possibilities?! Thank you Alex and Ani for the great service and products — you have a new customer for life!

Bought my wife a necklace — quite nice. But the two ladies working tonight (Saturday 2⁄20) seem to have a fun contest going — «Who can be the rudest?» Both were very unwelcoming, curt, actively rude. I won’t be back, but the necklace was nice.

Ouch! There are some pretty harsh reviews for this A&A location, but my brother and I had a positive experience here. Even though the system was down and checking out took a bit longer, the associates went as quickly as they could and apologized several times. Also, every sales associate that we passed offered us assistance as we browsed through the store.
There was a large selection of jewelry on sale which was nice. My brother bought his girlfriend a bracelet and a necklace and I picked up some polishing cloths to clean up my bracelets since they look a little dingy after wearing them practically every day for over a year.
Unfortunately for me there is no student discount, but there is a discount for active military. And if you check in on Unilocal you’ll get $ 5 off the bracelet of the month!

Fantastic experience. So I’ve always eyed up these bracelets in other stores or seeing people wearing them, but visiting the actual alex and Ani store made all the difference. The employees are incredibly positive, friendly, and welcoming.
Came in with the bf to buy a present and our decision was difficult with all of the variety available. We ended up picking a beautiful birthstone bracelet and couldn’t have been happier with our decision. If the bf didn’t drag me out of there they probably could have sold the entire store to me!
I’m glad I stopped in because now I feel like I understand the Alex and Ani community better and am much more likely to look into and purchase these products in the future

The employees here are rude. How can you be pissed off working in Alex and Ani? I haven’t had a much better experience in the Georgetown store. I had to almost beg someone to help me. I’ll get my AA fix and Nordies.

WORST ALEX AND ANI !!! I wish I could give no stars at all because they do not deserve it. The staff is horrible and RUDE with the exception of one guy that works there that I wish I could mention but unfortunately I do not know his name. The girls are stuck up and are never helpful. When you ask for help, it’s as if you are bugging or disturbing them. I love Alex and Ani and this location is so close to me but I would rather drive to Georgetown or some further location rather than receiving service from such ignorant people.

Worst experience ever! I’ve gone 11 times in the past 4 months and every time I’ve received the worst service. I love the location because it is a little less than 15 minutes away from my house, yet I dread visiting because of the service. Keith has been the only helpful one there, the others seem to be a somewhat racist and extremely rude. Today I stood in the store for a good 15 minutes waiting to be attended, yet they attended 5 African American people before me, then once I was attended I wasn’t greeted and had to deal with so much sass. I’m pretty sure my money is just as good as everyone else’s.

I cannot say enough good things about this location. I have never had a bad experience. I have been in the store during extremely busy times and still received excellent service.
I had to order a bangle from the National Harbor location, which had to come from NJ. The bangle reportedly got lost at my door. The NJ saleswoman was extremely rude and not willing to assist me in the matter. I contacted Travis at the Harbor location and he fixed the order. He made sure I received the bracelet and even picked it up at another location, so I could have it on time for a special event. That excellent customer service surprised me, but he was more than willing to make my order correct.
In my experience with this location, there are wonderful friendly sales associates that work at this store. It also makes the trip to the harbor and the time it took to look for parking worth it.

While this store can be extremely busy, especially on the first warm day in the area, Keith, my sales associate was a pleasure to work with and acknowledged me upon arrival. Keith provided outstanding customer service and took his time in explaining to me the various pieces the store had to offer. I believe what also makes the store amazing, is that many of the associates are collectors of the jewelry as well… hey Audriana! Anyhow, I had an awesome experience and will be back at this store again to chat it up with Keith and Audriana!
P. s. The selection at this store is great and you won’t be disappointed. ;)

FINALLY got my Alex and Ani collection started and I’m so glad I came to the store at the National Harbor. Julia or Julian I believe her name is was such a GREAT help. This shopping experience was actually a gift from my friend and he picked out all my bracelets and did a wonderful job. I could not leave out the door without buying another bracelet to add to the collection started by my friend. I will def be back to this store and I plan to add to my collection more and MORE.

I could go on and on about my experience but I’ll sum it simply by saying. Great experience! Salespeople Annie and Alex were awesome. I’ll be back for sure.

WORST ALEX AND ANI EXPERIENCE. So unhelpful. When asking for help/​a question they gave one word answers and didn’t even help me. After I picked out what I wanted, they continued to help other people and didn’t even check me out!

I was hip to Alex & Ani bangles in 2005⁄2006 and now they are becoming ubiquitous… just like those Micheal Kors bags. Ugh. Anyway, the Sales people at this location at the Harbor are hit or miss. Some of them are extremely rude so I guess I good thing that I am writing this on a day when I’ve had cupcakes and some good margaritas. So, service was fine. The store was busy but I had a rather attentive Sales person and she helped me pick a few pieces to add to my collection so that was nice.

My friend was the one who got me interested in Alex and Ani bangles.
I went into this store about two weeks ago. The staff was very helpful. I love how they explained the meaning of their energy bangles. I absolutely love my new bangles, the meanings are just beautiful.

First time at this location and it was great. Tiara waited on me and she was great. She has only been at the tore for 6 days. Couldn’t tell. She was very knowledgeable on all the items. Store crip and clean. Will be bsck with the list of bangles I want to purchase.

Alex and Ani jewelry is so fun!
I took my daughter and a friend to the store specifically to buy bracelets. There are lines out the door in the Boston stores, so we wanted to get some of these HOT, HOT, HOT bracelets!! They are an awesome gift. You can stack them or wear one by itself. It makes a lovely gift because you have so many bracelet themes to choose from.
My daughter, a friend and I shopped here and had the best experience. We were buying quite a few gifts and the sales people could not have been more helpful or patient. We looked at quite a few bracelets and we were NOT quick with our decisions. They boxed and wrapped each bracelet so they were ready to «gift».
My daughter went back the next day and purchased a few more bracelets. They remembered her and were so happy she returned. She forgot to get a receipt and the store was able to email her receipt!
The staff was so pleasant, they made shopping fun!
Go to this Alex and Ani, you will NOT regret it!

Worst experience! I love Alex and ani jewelry but the production to buy anything in the store isn’t worth it. They HAVE to put you in their system or else you can’t get a receipt… are you serious?!
