| - As a newbie to buying any sort of fancier beauty/hygiene supply, I first went into The Soap Opera thinking "Well, I walk by it everyday, might as well check it out and hope I don't get ripped off!". When I went in, I was pleasantly surprised at every aspect of the store.
For a tiny space, they manage to still keep in stock a very nice selection of a wide variety of products. They have even more items available online or for order if you're looking for something very specific. In addition, the prices are all reasonable. That last statement probably means nothing coming from a guy whose expectation was for everything to be over twice as much as it actually was. But really, I feel like I got a quality product for a good price, and in addition everything I bought from there has lasted me a good while.
The crowned jewel of this store has to lie in its service. Every time I've gone in, i've been completely unaware of what I was really shopping for, but the employees all helped me out a ton in making a selection I was satisfied with in every way. In my most recent interaction, the gentleman behind the counter spent a good 20 minutes helping me choose a scent combination for a $13 oil I was purchasing. It's hardly worth his time to actually do that, but in the end I left with an extremely pleasant scented oil. I get this type of dedication every time I go here. I get the feeling that the staff not only know what they're doing, but also that they care enough to make sure you know what you're doing in the future as well.
After buying cologne, various lotions, facial wash, creams, and oils here, i've never left without thinking that I had a good experience. I can't recommend The Soap Opera enough.
