i don't think the employees at Jamie care about customer service--I doubt the owner does either or else they would correct the un-necessary snotty attitudes of their staff.

I think its a diversion play -job for them!

So don't get your scarves in a knot!! there are alternatives with better selection and much better customer service if you just take a weekend and travel to NYC!!

• Pros: none that i canthink of

Too bad

by katarina1

Here is the tragedy: Jamie has a great selection and quality clothes...not all tasteful but that's personal. It is a wonderful 'shot in the arm' for shopping in Nashville. But the service is some of the worst I have ever seen and I have lived in New York, Paris and London and the salespeople in Jamie act as if they are superior to all. I walked in with a simple sweater, flats, and black pants (w/glasses) and asked about certain designers. They cld barely raise their eyes to look at me and point in the direction. No smile, no welcome to Jamie's etc. I am stunned they continue in the business. Apparently, they later heard about my visit from a friend and were apologetic etc...that doesn't work! Life is too short for that attitude!

Rude. Bad Selection. Attitudes Galore. Run, Don't Walk, Away from Jamie's.

by jewelnash

Horrible selection, horrible service. Like the other reviewers, I had $$ to spend here but was ignored. The only salesperson with any bit of charm is the shoes assistant. I do not understand the basis for the sales assistants' attitudes - they are working in a second-rate, wannabe designer shop, that, like others have pointed out, has a horrible buyer. Good brands, yes, but small selection and nothing showstopping or worthy of the prices or attitudes. Old lady wear indeed. And the clientele -- I watched one woman literally kiss up to the sales assistants and yet eyeball me up and down, and gave me a look when I said "bless you" after she sneezed! In my opinion, this place is not worth anyone's time or trouble unless you are equally as unpleasant as the customer I came across today. Hopefully some day someone will open up a rival boutique or we get the Nordstroms as rumored so that the sales assistants will be required to change their attitude b/c Nashville will no longer be hostage to Jamie's for its designer wear. For those reading this for insight on whether they should go to Jamie's -- go to Habit or Hemline (in the new Green Hills shopping area), or make the drive to Emeline's or Abby and Jessie's in Franklin and Cool Springs, or fly to NYC if you have to. There are nicer sales assistants out there that deserve the commission.

Jamie, Not so Much!

by yiggiebo

1 dont understand the attitude of the sales staff...the selection is just 'average at best for a store of this type

I can fly to NYC or to Costa Mesa and find better selections and be treated like a queen-- I find this fact quite odd since this is a "southern "city---you'd think that they would at least have some charm or treat their customers with some charm...not happening here

I have attempted to shop there several times and its ALWAYS the same scenario --so I dont think I caught the staff on a bad day!!

I had $$$ to spend, but I guess you have to have a pig nose & be married to a man 30 years older to be deigned worthy of their assistance

I'll pass -- PL:US THE PARKING IS AWFUL

Old Lady Style Selection!! Mean salespeople.

by shoppingdiva1971

Jamie's is terrible. I am always dressed up and carring an It bag, so I always get great treatment. However, I've seen them be completely nasty to my mother who never dresses up but has WAY more money than I do. Jamie's has okay brands, but the buyer is terrible. How can anyone say that this is a NY store? They buy old lady black jackets and cheeesy wedding shoes. Their selection just leaves alot to be desired. And I dare say it is probably out of insecurity that they are so nasty because people in NY boutiques with much better clothes are actually much much nicer. Two thumbs down.

• Pros: Parking
• Cons: Old lady style. Bad selection. Mean sales people.

This Harding Pike staple brings runway nameplates to the Nashville elite.

In Short
The highest end Nashville has to offer, Jamie supplies the 37205 set with everything from Swan ball gowns to cryogenic fur storage. The friendly, knowledgeable salespeople will appropriately dress those with large credit limits in Calvin Klein or Dolce & Gabbana. Then they'll accent the look with Gucci accessories and Prada shoes. The finishing touch is the makeup department with favorites such as Bliss bath and skin care products and Bobbi Brown cosmetics.

The shopping options in Nashville basically suck, but Jamie is a life saver. I just love the selection and their tent sale always has wonderful bargains. Rita is one of the best salespersons there and I look forward to seeing her whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

Why the poor reviews?

by bshein

I just moved here from Chicago, and I was on the hunt for the cool local boutiques since I am not much of a mall shopper. I walked in looking barely legal - jeans, tshirt, ponytail - and I was not ignored. My sales lady was friendly and helpful. I picked up a sweet cashmere sweater. This is the only that compares to the shops in Chicago - it's a mini-Barneys! Killer selection of shoes. Love the contemporary section in back. Glad to see they carry my fave skincare - Kiehl's. For those turned off by the less-than-stellar reviews, give it a chance. I will be going back.

• Pros: selection, helpful, one stop shop

Like the store in pretty woman..

by fraufarbissina

What is up with this place?? I have money to spend, folks, don't look at me when I walk in in jeans and tennis shoes like I am a crazy mutant. I thought I could find a nice dress here, and I admit their selection is decent, but I couldn't stand the salespeople's bristly manners, staring at me like I was going to steal something. That person was right, it is kind of like the reject NYC, I know because I lived there. Jamie could NEVER compare, and most of the salespeople up there are always nice. Where is the southern hospitality???

• Pros: selection, parking
• Cons: Salespeople, makeup lady gone

Snooty with a capital S

by slindylou

I've never been in this store when the salespeople weren't rude and sometimes insulting. The clothes may be fabulous, but I would rather shop ANYWHERE than Jamie. Customer service is very important to me and you will not receive it here.

• Cons: rude, pretentious, not helpful
