The store is very pink and frilly. If Barbie was selling bathbombs and soap, this would be her shoppe. Loved the adorable soaps during the holidays in the form of festive gnomes. There are also soaps and bath bombs shaped as cakes / pastriesPrice is a little steep hence 4 star. My bar for expensive bath items would be Lush and this tops it in terms of price point. Girl math was 4 tacos = 1 bath bar which told me no thanks for now.

The store has some cute and unique items like character shaped soaps, bath bombs and other skin and bath items. That part is fine. The part I didnt appreciate was a man named Rocky (says hes Italian but has an Israeli accent ?)Anyway, he first says Im going to give you a sample of an eye product. Its not a sample! He has you sit on a chair and applies an eye cream with his unwashed finger to your undereye area and tries to sell you this expensive product.. over $300.. he is a true salesman... very pushy... but I said no thank you and had to make a few excuses to just leave! It was not cool at all....

There is an Italian gentlemen known as rocky who attempts to scam older women into buying an expensive skin care product, with an “inflated price”. Beware of this store and avoid it, as they will try to suck you in with free products on the sidewalk.

Walking by, I got lured into this shop with a free sample. Before I knew it I was in a chair getting eye cream applied by a fast talking young man. The cream seemed to be working well, so I agreed to buy it and got another cream "free". Haha, I thought the price was $30. After leaving the store, I checked my receipt. It was over $300!Additionally, I was asked to move to another chair to get a free facial treatment from the "Skin Specialist". The only thing special about this lady was her pushy sales tactics. She wanted to sell me a wand that would remove my wrinkles & my arthritis pain for the low low price of $6000. I literally had to lie to get out of that store. I felt trapped. When I left the lady followed me out to the sidewalk continuing to pressure me. It was awful. I wanted to return the expensive cream but it wasn't worth going back into the trap. Terrible experience.

My friends and I visited Solvang for a turnaround trip by bus last month. We stopped by that store for the looks of their colorful products from the outside. After choosing a couple of their items and paid, another friend did so and was told after she paid the 3rd item was free. We reclaim to have each bought two, so why not give us the third item for free? One of the staff (brunette hair & petite) was unwilling. When another staff came to take over the shift, this young blond lady was kind enough to do so after my friend convinced her of our purchases. Not good customer services, and best to buy them online once their website is up and working.

Bought a super overpriced bath bomb that smelled nice in the store. Made my bath smell nasty. They also charged my card 12 times and the bank had to cancel them.

Howdy folks. How's all of my fellow Yelpers doing? Well, I hope ya all are in the mood for feeling clean because today we are heading to the cleanest shop in Solvang. I'm talking about Skinderella. And not Cinderella. But Skindellera. Catchy huh? So strap on your safety belts and put your helmets on because this ship is about to blast off. Now recently your's truly Nasty Nathanial, and my fellow auditing partner Matthew The King, decided to head into the city of Solvang to conduct some First Amendment Audits of the various businesses in town and see if they respect our constitutionally protected right to take photos and video in public. One of those shops was the place I'm writing this review about. I'm talking about Skinderella. Our experience at Skinderella started out when Matthew and I noticed what we thought were pastries on display by the storefront window. Shortly after we were greeted outside the shop by a handsome young man handing out business cards. I'll call him Mr. Handsome. Our conversation started off by me telling him how handsome he was(is). No surprise there. It continued with my inviting him to join me for a drink. Again, no surprise there. But once we got past the intimate introductions I would come to learn that what I originally thought were pastries were actually soaps. Yes that's right. I guess I won't be sinking my teeth into these treats unless I want soap in my mouth. After some initial curiosity by Mr. Handsome and staff, we were invited inside to take a look at all the soaps they had up on display throughout the shop. But these are not just any ordinary soaps. These are custom handmade soaps that are individually themed. Yes that's right. No one bar of soap here is the same. I saw soaps that looked like everything from cupcakes to pop cycles to even Liberace's piano. Liberace's piano? WTF! Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. But I think you get the idea. All of these individual bars of soap were uniquely handcrafted to a specific theme which I thought was really groovy. I would end up going with a desert themed bar of soap with a cactus on top. I can dig it. Can you dig it? Something I want to also point out is how friendly and professional the staff at Skinderella were. They were so welcoming and receptive to our filming. It was as if they wanted us to come inside and film their store. I mean why not? Free advertising for their business. Why don't more businesses have this same attitude? I can think of another Solvang shop nearby that could learn a thing or two from Skinderella. Well, I guess that I am going to wrap this review up by saying that is you are into hygiene and want to experience an array of cleanliness with an artistic touch, I suggest that you head over to Skinderella in Solvang. Also, if you enjoy being in the company of beautiful men like I do, this is also the place for you. Wink, wink. So until next time, may the soap get you clean, and may Mr. Handsome go have a drink with me. Happy trails. NASTY NATHANIAL

These people are snobs. My daughter and I went in to buy some cute soaps earlier today and when we were ready to check out the staff pointedly ignored us. We waited by the register for a couple minutes - no one came. I saw a sales girl come towards us (blonde hair, wearing a green shirt). I made eye contact with her, said hello. For a minute I was convinced she was coming to check us out. Instead she offered me a frosty return of my hello and kept on walking. I just stood there, waiting for her to come back. She passed me once again and refused to make eye contact. I saw two staff members in the upstairs loft area. I made eye contact with one of them (a lady with long dark hair) I gave her a frustrated shrug. She turned her back to me. My daughter suggested we leave. She was convinced that they didn't want to waste their time on us because we were only buying a few small items. We put our soaps on a nearby shelf and left. I will never go in this store again. The vibe is so unwelcoming and stuck up.

Here is my story..It was a nice day out and there were people walking around the Solvang shopping area. The plan was to walk around with my wife, check out stores, and spend some money. Side note: I parked at the corner of the street where Skinderella is (close by) but I did not know this at the time.Anyway, I parked my car and walked to the sidewalk and joined all the other people just walking around. I notice there was a lady standing outside this one particular store(Skinderella). I saw and heard her greet the people right in front of us. Then it was "our turn"....nothing....Then I hear the same lady again greeting the people behind us.Strange....but I didn't think much of it.I continued my day visiting stores and we decided we wanted a snack. We remembered seeing a bakery past our car at the other side of the area. So we started heading over the other way.On our way back, there was no one in front of us, our side of the sidewalk was kind of empty, and this time another person was outside the store(Skinderella).Ok, here we go - someone different - maybe they will greet us this time.Side note: Remember when you were a kid, when you used to hold your breath when going over a bridge (if you know, you know). That was basically how I felt walking by this store a second time.We walked by......nothing.....Again? Huh? Why? How? there's literally no one but us!Now I'm not gonna lie, I started to get a little upset.Same store, same result but this time with two different employees.AINT..NO..WAY..We continued to go to the bakery and got ourselves a snack. By then we were done walking and decided to head back to our Hotel.Side note: Remember, I pretty much parked right in front of Skinderella. We have to slightly walk past it before turning into the street to get into our car.If you are still reading this, you know what I'm thinking.Last chance... One more shot...AINT..NO..WAY..At this point, I told my wife that if someone is out in front of that store (Skinderella), they are not going to greet us and I think I finished my comment by telling her "watch this". Famous last words right?So here it was, one more chance, one more go, one more opportunity.I know the suspense is killing you. It's even making me feel some type of way typing this out.Anyway, we are walking back to our car. I see someone in front of the Skinderella. (Hold breath over bridge moment) We walk by.....N O T H I N G - A B S O L U T E L Y , N O T H I NGI couldn't believe it-- because at this point it was just a game... but I was winning this game as my predictions were correct....but its a game you don't want to keep winning at....SKINDERELLA, your store looked cool and my wife was interested. Why did you have to do us like that? Your silence and judgmental behavior could have been avoided with a simple "Hello". I know, crazy right?!To top it off, I come here on yelp out of curiosity and I see other reviews saying the same thing. Sadly, I'm not shocked that others felt this same way.Shout out to Priscilla W., Emma N., and Ashley R. - Trust me, I feel what you all felt. If you're still reading this, I hope this doesn't happen to you but if you're on the wrong side when it comes to how they profile their potential customers. I guess it is what it is.
