3 Stars: The parking was too small (by Vinh T.)

i really get upset at the parking space available at this store. it was too little parking space. to park your car, you have to drive all the way around the store to the other side and to my surprise, there were very few spaces left so i have to park my car at a nearby restaurant and walk to the store. they should have do something about that

3 Stars: Hipster hangout, snooty staff. (by Oona B.)

The one good thing I will say about the Red Light is that they have a black and white photobooth. Everytime I go in this store, I am underwhelmed with their selection. The vintage items are ok, they should carry a better selection of sizes, but their jeans and skirts are boring and tacky. Their shoe selection should be expanded and their prices are a bit high. They do have really nice window displays and you can always find accessories for a last minute costume party here. I would suggest you save your money and scout out some better clothes at a thrift store. The Red Light is trying to be too San Francisco and they don't really pull it off.

3 Stars: Fun but expensive (by Cherrie J.)

This store is fun and has lots of really cute stuff. It's also a great place to go if you are shopping for costumes! But it's not as inexpensive as shopping at the goodwill or something, so be prepared to pay a little bit more for the merchandise here!

4 Stars: Not as good as buffalo exchange (by Emily G.)

This place is sort of overwhelming - it's not as nice of an experience as buffalo exchange, but they pay more and take more. I reccomend selling here, but it's hard sorting through stuff to buy.

4 Stars: Inexpensive Hip Clothes (by Zac S.)

This store is exciting to shop in. The atmosphere is very alternative and retro, just like the clothes. Since the clothing is secondhand, the prices are very reasonable. It certainly blends well with its trendy Hawthorne community. There is usually plenty of parking on the side streets of Hawthorne. So when you want an affordably trendy wardrobe, head on down to The Red Light.

2 Stars: This Place Has Too Much Attitude (by Deirdre C.)

Apparently, style cannot be synonymous with politeness, or even efficient customer service. Not only do the Red Light's clothes get more and more bizarre as their prices skyrocket, but the staff seems to get ruder as well. If you don't look like a pencil, they will be sure to ignore you. Not that they would have anything that would fit you anyway.

4 Stars: Great for Halloween (by J. P.)

I know this store is meant to be for everyday living. And I've seen younger people who wear the clothes during their everyday life. However, I would think of this store if shopping for something to wear for Halloween. They have a great selection of really eccentric items.

4 Stars: Wonderfull clothes, but... (by i v.)

i v. — Mon, 11 Jul 2005 14:57:00 GMT

My only problem was that they seemed to have a difficult time keeping anything besides XS and XL in stock...I am a medium, and even things that were marked M, were either XS or XL. Beyond that, there were some great deals and somethings i thought a little pricy, but if your small or large, this is the clothing store for you!
