I love Ardène because everything here is pretty inexpensive. Sure, the products are not great quality, but you can find some pretty earrings, necklaces and body jewelleries.
I got my nose pierced at this place. The salesperson was really nice and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. But I know they are not all like that.
I bought an eyeshadow some times ago, and I was surprised by the great result! Seriously, their eyeshadow are highly pigmented and it stays on all day. You can be sure that I will buy some more!
This store is especially great if you are on a budget.
I am an avid earring and necklace fanatic, so when I discovered Ardene's a few years ago, I nearly flipped.
What I like: I LOVE all the deals. 3 for $10 for earrings, 2 for $15 for necklaces and some tanks, you honestly can't go wrong. Some of the earrings are cute, and a few tops are nice too. You can also get your ears pierced (I'm not sure if they do other piercings) on sight.
What I don't like: It's quite a shame that they don't have any jeans. Not a whole lot of the tops are really that great, as a lot of them all have the lace stuff that get's ripped up really easily. Honestly, I find that the service depends on location. The Ardene store in Smiths Falls has great costumer service, but that's probably because it's a smaller mall, and less traffic. On top of all that, I absolutely do not recommend any of the mood rings because there is a 90% chance that it will turn your finger green. Sometimes the earrings and necklaces aren't that great either.
Out of all this, I still like Ardene. Their cheap earrings are easy to replace, so not a huge deal if they break or I lose an earring. I can't say much about the makeup line, but honestly, I wouldn't trust it.
i don't like ardene that much because the service there is really bad and the store itself is really messy. most of the earrings i have gotten there are really cheap metal and i don't bother putting them in my ears. I suggest you go to a good accessory store like Claires, Accessorize, or Icing because they have way cooler stuff.
I used to love Ardene's, but over the past years it has gone downhill like crazy. I never really find anything half-decent here lately. It almost feels like they should be going out of business. Maybe I feel this way because I am growing up, and this is very much a pre-teen/teen shop. I've found new places to shop for jewelry and accessories so I feel little need to bother walking into this store anymore. Maybe if I want to find some cheap studs or hoop earrings, but otherwise, I wouldn't bother.
