  Originally, I had been a serious fan of this place. I'd given the store a 5 star rating which can be viewed below. But after a recent encounter, I'm much less likely to return. While looking through the wide collection of oils the manager checked on me/interrupted me several times throughout the visit. At one point even security was sent to check on me. Part of what I liked about the store was being able to browse and discover cool things, but a subtle accusation of theft makes me a little too uncomfortable to keep going there -- on top of the fact that I was innocently just looking through the ingredients in all the oils. Being a black female, suspected by the white manager, makes it worse. If every black female who checks the ingredients in her skin & hair care is suspected of theft in this store, a lot more black women are feel less comfortable. This is Harlem, come on now. The other staff is still great. The ambiance is still bright, and there are still events. Just don't spend too much time reading product ingredients. Original 5 Star Rating: This is such a great store to step into. The energy is bright and the people working at the store are very positive. It's not unusual for the staff to just say hi as you're entering the store. Regarding products, you can stop by for something in particular and discover something awesome be it clothes, rugs, kitchenware, snacks, etc. -- and usually at great prices. Otherwise, there's the occasional event for rewards card members where you get access to stuff before everyone else, and refreshments
