Got a convenient appointment right away. In five minutes, had an amazing, perfect fitted bra. I had a reconstruction 20 years ago. My breasts are aging differently and asymmetrically. Did not even need a mastery bra. I’ve measured online and had very poor results determining which bra I needed. I highly recommend.
Call for an appointment first Bra's are great, staff is friendly and helpful. I can take my young daughter and not worry about pictures on the wall or other items.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The dressing rooms are decorated colorfully. The insurance billing process for medical clothing was easy.
Rudest lady ever and does not deserve peoples business. I needed custom compressions she implied THREE times I couldn't afford them. She insisted on selling me thigh highs which I had to keep reminding her would not work with the condition I have and I asked again to order the custom fit and she said that's not what she measured me for and your appointment is over and walked away. What did you measure me for... ?
I called in advance to make an appointment and ask about the fitting process -- while I can't speak to the in-store experience, I was so disappointed with their answers I feel I should speak up. My wife has severe anxiety and is not comfortable with the typical bra measuring process. I spoke with someone on the phone and explained this, then asked if they could help us with fitting only since we already have her measurements in inches. I was told, "this is a *specialty* lingerie shop", so no, they will not help us if she cannot be measured in-store. To me, this is unacceptable coming from a store that touts "treating customers with the utmost dignity at every stage of life or health challenge". What about those of us with severe anxiety who can barely work up the nerve to call, let alone have a stranger touch our body? What about those of us with trauma who would be triggered by this kind of situation? Our measurements are the same whether they're taken at home or in-store, so I don't see why this can't be accommodated. I expected literally any amount of effort to work with us on what is a delicate situation for us, but instead I was hung up on with a short "okay then, bye!" as soon as I confirmed we need to cancel because the standard measuring process won't work for us. I really had high hopes for this place, but wow what a disappointment. Please try to handle your customers with anxiety and mental illness with more consideration. We too would like a relaxing and comforting bra shopping experience, but some of us have different fitting needs.
For compression garments, that are part of a patient's Physical Therapy DME, it can be challenging to find a store like this which carries a large inventory of therapeutic brands and experienced fitters - and is also in an attractive boutique. This store is by the waterfront, and it shares a private parking lot with a spa. Finding high quality foundation products is fast and easy with manager Sasha Miller, CMF. The interior of the 'Just Like A Woman' boutique store has many separate dressing rooms and so, even if the hour is busy, the store layout and vibe of the staff is relaxing and friendly. Highly recommend!
I showed up a day late for my appointment but the staff was very gracious and saw me any way. I was getting fitted for prosthetic breasts and bras. Staff was very knowledgeable and kind. Environment was beautiful with a warm e k elegance. A very relaxing visitm
I arrived without knowing fittings were by appointment only, and was planning to make one and come back. However I was very kindly worked into their schedule and had a fantastic experience getting just the right bra for me. Will definitely recommend to anyone. But don't make my mistake, call ahead!
I first heard about Just Like a Woman in 2009 when my mother needed a prosthetic and specialty bra for her mastectomy. My mother lives out of the country and it is difficult if not next to impossible to obtain these items in our country, especially after going through breast cancer and having surgery. These women were not only empathetic, professional and compassionate, but were able to accommodate my request for my mother's items without her being present - and everything fit ! How wonderful ! They save everything in their database - which is definitely helpful in our situation. My mother does not have health insurance, so she could not afford the silicone prosthetic, but opted for the foam form instead, which is not as durable. Today, its been almost 3 years sine my mom has her specialty bras and she recently mentioned they were getting worn and it was time for a replacement. So my sister and I went there and we were assisted by Doris French, who was absolutely fantastic ! We explained our situation and she was very prompt to help - but here's what made this trip special and really made this place stand out: As I mentioned the foam form is a lot less expensive than the silicone prosthetic, which can start anywhere from $250.00 and up. Normally insurance covers the cost but my mom doesn't have insurance and wouldn't be able to afford the silicone prosthetic. They did not have a foam one in her size , but Doris searched high and low and came back to tell us that she had a silicone form in my mother's size that had been donated by someone - so we were able to have that one for no charge. I couldn't believe it - I had to ask her to repeat what she said. Doris explained to me that there are several organizations that donate to Just Like a Woman, especially for women who have gone through breast cancer surgery that do not have insurance. So in addition to the specialty bras that we got for my mom, we were given a $300 silicone prosthetics at no charge ! I was so floored and so pleased by her generosity and that she would even go out of her way to do that for us I almost started crying. Such generosity and such level of excellence when it comes to customer service should not go unnoticed . I not only highly recommend this place but I recommend the services of Doris French. What a great gift and surprise we can pass on to our mom just in time for Mother's Day ! Thank you again !
This was the BEST experience I have ever had for multiple reasons! I needed a specific bra to wear under my wedding dress and Sasha was AMAZING. She measured me quickly and professionally after I explained my wants/concerns and showed her a picture of my dress. After, I'm not even kidding, 4 minutes, she pulled out the PERFECT option and it fit like it was meant for me. I highly recommend this business!
