Madison Bleu

Cute place and has some unique items. Price point not too bad. They have some name brands I recognize that also Nordstroms carry. I found 2 pairs of earrings for $ 6.00 each. A top I found was great and on sale for $ 9.00! Score! Hit and miss but worth a visit. The sales associate was ok but not very welcoming. At the end of the day as long as they treat me well when I ask for assistance and are nice when I cash out, I am ok. I would come back.

Pros: has cute, unique, and feminine clothes
Cons: a little to expensive for the quality. This store is a little more expensive than I would like it to be. The fabrics used are cheap, and if everything was maybe 25−50% cheaper I would spend a lot more money here.

A good place to get some cute things if you’re going on a trip or for an event. It’s a nice little boutique with what I like to call, better than forever 21 quality.
+Decent prices, all around $ 20-​$ 40 range
+Nice selection. When I went there was a lot of cute summery pieces and they had size smalls in all the ones I wanted. I hate when boutiques always run out of smalls!

I really want to like this place but I’ll probably have to come back to take a longer looksee. They seem to have really cute clothes and have reasonable prices. Most of their stock were mixed fall and summer pieces. Most of them were either heavy sweater material or thin sheer material. Geez, make up your damn mind! I went here today on my lunch break and was hoping to find something to wear but I was pretty turned off with the customer service. Who knows. I’ll be back and then write a better review.

Likes: this place has some cute clothes and dresses but I wasn’t able to find one I liked. I ended up getting a scarf. Prices are decent. Good location.
Dislikes: Nothing really wow about this little boutique, at least when I went there

If you’re looking for a cheap, wear it once or twice sort of outfit, this is a good place to look.
They have inventory that changes pretty frequently, so even if you go in a few times a month, you’re likely to find different selections each time you look.
Just remember, it’s a pretty reliable adage in life that you tend to get what you pay for. Keep that in mind with this store when you shop here. The prices are cheap, as is the quality. That’s why I say this is a good store to check out if you want an outfit that you wear one or two times. Beyond that, most of their items won’t hold up after a few wears and washes.
However, they do have some trendy options, so I give them four stars.
People say they have had bad customer service here, but I haven’t experienced that. There is a blonde gal that’s worked their since I started coming over a year ago, and she always remembers me and is pretty helpful.
It’s worth checking out.

If you want great customer service and have salesperson who seem to care about what you’re shopping for then don’t come here. I came here a few times a few years ago and though I was impressed with their merchandise I was less than pleased with their customer service/​salespersons. I Hooghly maybe things may have changed but I was wrong. Wishful thinking. Still crappy service which makes the cute little boutique and decently priced clothing not worth it. Both times that I’ve returned I was offered no greeting; the blonde sales associate (both times) either continued to talk to another sales associate and completely ignored me and when i asked about their merchandise and other selections the response was one word answers. She really didnt offer any form of pleasantry until my sister purchased something. I ultimately really hated the experience and though I would like to return I would be completely pissed and even more turned off if I received the SAME customer service.
To sum it up, as a customer the boutiques job is to provide AMAZING customer service because the truth of it all, you can get people to buy as long as you’re able to sell… this store could probably have higher sales if they employed better sales associates… or just get rid of the crappy ones.

I ALWAYS have the best experience here.
Normally the selection is great and the owners do a great job buying for the store. I’m an avid Madison Bleu shopper that consistnetly goes in at least once every 2 weeks if not more… I know I’ve definetely had my weeks where I’m in mulitiple times. lol Shipment usually comes Wed/​Thurs so its best to go those days. Vicky is phenomenal, because I’ve gone in so often she’s gotten a sense of my style and what I like and she already knows what to pretty much pull for me once she sees me. Prices vary; Level 99 and Ark & Co are two of their higher end priced brands but for the most part its affordable. I love their frequent stamp card-​I UTILIZE the hell out of it and eventually land a $ 25 giftcard once I fill it up. They have great events that really give back to the customer which I can always appreciate and take full advantage of. All in all, its a great store. Sometimes I can score cute outfits for cheap and other times usually when I buy ARK&CO I have to splurge. Luna B carries similar items for sometimes double the price so I feel the service and pricing is honest and decent. I’m a lifetime customer!

Quality is pretty good! The styles is always updated:)

3.5 stars
Nice little boutique shop. I used to come here frequently for great finds and for new additions to my closet. Unfortunately the selection of clothes lately have not been as cute and fabulous as they once were. Also prices have slightly increased. Madison Bleu is still a place to go if you want to find something different and is better quality than Forever 21. There are still some great finds but not as often. One great thing is if you follow Madison Bleu online they post new items that arrive each week. Also, they have a frequent buyer’s card and for $$$ that you spend they stamp your card to earn a gift card. Staff here are friendly and helpful. They also have a sale rack towards the back of the store so if your patient enough to look you may find a nice piece to add to your wardrobe. I’ll still keep Madison Bleu on my go-​to shopping therapy sites.

These clothes are not Forever 21 material like some have claimed. That’s ridiculous. Some of these labels you’ll find at Nordstrom’s and it’s way better quality. Prices are decent for the unique and stylish items.
I do have to agree though that there was a sales girl working that day that didn’t seem too happy or friendly at all. Although, the other girl that was working was very nice and helpful.

Love this boutique, always stop by when I’m around the area.
They have a mixture of expensive and affordable pieces. But what I like most is their selection since they change their inventory quite frequently.
Also most of their pieces are trendy yet unique and worth the price.
Employees are friendly and will help you put an outfit together if you need their help.

Great store for cute clothes that won’t necessarily be too trendy (and in turn trite), but nevertheless extremely cute!
Prices are reasonable, and their stamp cards help A LOT! I’ve always been pleasantly surprised on the days I’ve brought in multiple cards and received $ 25 off my purchase
The workers are generally nice, except the last few times I’ve been there, there’s been a really sully worker who always seems as if she’s angry to help or well. work
I can’t judge much since I don’t know her personal life, but tone in response to questions was unarguably rude and almost condescending. It was off-​putting, but of course, the clothes are why I go, and not the salespeople.
Most workers are very talkative and very helpful, but every bunch has its bad ones.

A Forever 21 «Boutique»
I think prices are expensive for the clothes they sell. Sure they’re cute but you can find everything at Forever 21 or Fashion Young for half the price.

A hidden gem. I always make sure to stop by here whenever I’m in Orange County. I love this place because I’m a boutiquey girl. I definitely don’t like mass-​produced clothing, and I don’t like when people can identify what I’m wearing.
Clothing here is cute, on the feminine side. Lots of ruffles and florals. Not a huge selection, but decent for the size of the store. Clothes in lots of colors, too. Prices are slightly higher than F21, but still inexpensive enough that my college bank account can afford it. I’ve noticed that the customer service has gotten way better, too! Good job, MB!
You’ll find tops & dresses, jeans, skirts, etc. Some semi-​formalwear will be mixed in the bunch. Cute assortment of accessories, too. Definitely a place that keeps up with trends. It’s good that it’s not too expensive so you don’t feel as bad when you get over the style.
i feel almost hesitant to submit this post because I want to keep this place a secret :) Great place. I always end up leaving with something. Wish they had more smaller sizes though.

Been to both locations. Both have crappy customer service. The girls ALWAYS stay behind the counter and chat. They never really look up or ask to get a fitting room started for you. Small selection.

It’s a cheaper version of Anthropologie. They have some cute tops and dresses here and there, but a lot of their clothes feel like a bootleg version of something from Anthropologie. The quality is definitely too low for their prices. I just wasn’t thrilled with anything.
Plus the sales girls are so useless. They just sit there, and whine, and look off into space. For such a small store with mediocre things, they need all the help they can get, especially in the customer service department. For me, the atmosphere was pretentious in an unjustified way– from the customer service to the pretending-​to-​be-​more-​than-​they-​are-​clothes.

It’s a cute store; however, I really wish they had more of a selection in sizes. XS/​S seems like it’s always out! Frustrating always finding stuff I want only to realize they don’t have it in my size. I bumped into a classmate that I didn’t know worked there and she told me that they usually get shipments in on Tuesdays so to check in around that time for my size. I have to agree, the sales people aren’t always that helpful. Reminds me of a job I’d have in high school, where it’d just be fun to sit around clothes all day and chit chat with my friends so don’t expect stellar service or anything.

While I love their dress and denim selection, I have to give this store only two stares because of the snotty sales people. When you walk into the store, the décor is so feminine and romantic, but the girls are always behind the counter either talking to each other or giving customers the evil eye. I was so intimidated once that I just left all together.
Aside from that, I love the fact that they mix in expensive clothes with cheap ones! I picked up this hot pink strapless dress the other day and I was so afraid to look at the price tag because it was so well made… but I was in for a sweet surprise. The dress was under $ 50!
As other Unilocalers mentioned, they also always have a great sale selection!

Ugh.
Located in the new Tustin Legacy, Madison Bleu offers a sparse selection of «local brand» clothing — still made in China; all poorly designed, with poor materials, poor fit, and poor selection.
Overpriced too. How else can you explain the completely insane markdowns on their sale rack? Instantaneously marked down 75%??? Pleeeease.
None of the items are up to par with current trends. You could find similar styles on the sale racks of Nordstrom BP.
Most pieces are made with poor blends. Where’s the cotton? There’s too much rayon. Too much FAKE jersey (poly blend that might feel «soft» to the touch but pills after the first wash).
Nothing is constructed correctly. Nothing fits well. I came here with two other friends. We each wear a different size. Small, medium, AND large. None of the pieces fit right! Small is too big! Medium is too small! … Seams bunch on silky pieces… ew. Loose strings hang from buttons and shoulders! There’s puckering in odd places! What the hell is going on???
The biggest downer was the service. Only two people «working» (sitting behind the counter talking about their significant others). They were bitchy, rude, and totally uneducated about their stock. They didn’t know what types of styles they carried. They didn’t know if they carried a size M of a particular item. They wouldn’t assist with the fitting room. They just wouldn’t get off their asses. Or speak more than a few words to a questioning customer.
This places bites. And the people working there carry huge clouds of boredom and pretension. You will do better to find another boutique that cares about first-​impressions and service.
