Joyworks

This review has been a long time coming. First off, this has always been one of my favorite shops on 1st street. Really beautiful decor and merchandising and beautiful clothing. That being said, all the great products in the world can't make up for poor service. I haven't shopped here for over a year now, the reason being is that I am consistently ignored. I mean several times I have walked in, said hello to the women up front and they say nothing back. Can't even get a smile in return. But a group could walk in behind me and suddenly they are the friendliest associates in the world. My theory

Love this place. Great clothes and downstairs has household new & used. The owner is great!

This is my absolute FAVORITE place to shop for clothing. The ladies are fantastic at choosing outfits for me and I always have a delightful time going into this store.
The merchandise is ever changing in the clothing dept. and home decor is unbelievable. I constantly shop here for house warming gifts.
I've been shopping here ever since I moved to Washington back in 1994.
More than 5 stars. 10+ for sure!

I love their clothing and have spent a lot of money there. It's my favorite shop on that street. But almost every time we shop there, the owner lady comes down and hovers around us and we feel like we're being watched. We're decent-looking, well dressed and well mannered, normal people.. I don't know what the problem is. But it's offensive and makes me uncomfortable. I keep returning though because I love their stuff and ALWAYS buy something. Owner: please stop treating your regular customers like criminals.

Awesome staff and cute clothes, accessories and gift options. Always a must stop and shop. Good fit for all sizes too. Love my new purse!

Sharon has joined my youth group (for young adults with learning disabilities) twice now and each time has just been absolutely brilliant. Even those who were quiet to begin with couldn’t help but join in and smile and laugh. Don’t think twice about this, go for it, you won’t be disappointed. Sharon completely tailored our sessions and she couldn’t have been more spot on!

Joyworks is a wonderful place to be, friendly, warm and caring people. I’m going on 14+ years of frequenting this wonderful store. Such a great place to shop with friends and enjoy the continuous flow of wonderful merchandise.
Thank you, Joyworks ❤️

Great store. Lots of amazing finds for home decor needs! We love the posters they sell for cheap nice wall hangings. This store is clean and displays everything in a very inviting fashion. Love stopping in here every time we are walking around town.

I had the most fun session with Sharon. She radiates such positive, fun, authentic energy. I learnt very useful and applicable skills from her that I can implement to my day to day life to bring me more joy! I’d love for everyone to learn how to attain joy!!! We all need it :)

I have been coming to JOYWORKS laughter yoga classes over the years. Don't ask how many. have been asked many times but always put it off but decided to come to a laughter yoga training event which I enjoyed. Most of the laughter yoga exercised I knew from over the years and some new but I managed it with help from a great mentor & friend.

I signed up for the laughter yoga training weekend and absolutely loved every minute of it.
The training was great and it’s a very exciting career for me to now have. I have been using my new skills with children and adults with learning difficulties.
It has brought so much joy to date and Sharon has been amazing with follow up support after the course.
Really worthwhile and lots of fun.

Attended one of these sessions yesterday and it was the best part of the day. Would highly recommend 😂

I would just like to thank Joyworks for the most amazing laughter yoga session at our brighterkind care home in Bearsden. Our residents couldn’t stop talking about it and can’t wait for another session. This was done as a large group session and nobody was left out! We all finished off with with a beautiful dance to “what a wonderful world” one of our residents favourite songs!
Thank you so much.

I couldn't praise Joyworks Laughter Yoga highly enough, Joyworks team got involved with our conference last year and offered workshops for unpaid carers. Everyone who attended really enjoyed the workshops, few carers mentioned they haven’t laughed so much in a long time and that they had a good and relaxing time. They also said the sessions helped them to feel good about themselves and that, simply, it was just great to laugh. We're hoping to be able to work again in the future, very easy and quick communication too.

I love this little local gem! It's been here forever and I always love the smells that come from this place. Joyworks is the perfect place to shop for a unique gift for your BFF. Smelly candles and waxes to die for, country decor, rustic signs....something for everyone. Do yourself a favor and stop in! Especially nice during the holidays.

I highly recommend getting involved in the laughter leadership training programme because joy is an emotion everyone needs to experience on a regular basis regardless of circumstance. Sharon is an inspirational teacher and role model. My experience was uplifting and memorable. I learnt new people skills which can be used in multiple contexts such as, at work for team building, at home for fun and outdoors purely for play. It is an amazing concept that in practice really does increase people's health & well being. 💯 percent worth the investment.

This was a fabulous course, most certainly laughter is the best medicine Joy Works Laughter Yoga literally fills you with joy. I would recommend this to anyone Best two days ever, Thanks Sharon

I absolutely love the clothes here! Very fashionable and brands I love. I love how many dresses they have and the flowy and lace designs to so many of the clothes. Pricing is very fair for the quality of clothing and expected for a boutique. I do love it and have no problem spending my money here.
