The Shade Store

The Shade Store is a hidden gem! I needed to replace 3 sets of blinds after having new windows put in. My husband and I came across the Shade Store in SOCO. Kym George was there to greet us when we walked in the door. She proceeded to walk us around the store and describe the various products. We narrowed down our choices easily, as she asked questions about purpose, likes and dislikes. We ordered and a couple weeks later our blinds were installed in no time. We love the product, appreciated the service and would highly recommend the store!!!

What a great experience! After looking at a TON of places online, I went to Unilocal and found the Shade Store, and I’m so glad I did. Kym was fantastic to work with; she answered all my questions, provided me with a bunch of samples so I could choose the right fabric, and gave me detailed measuring instructions to ensure we got the right fit. We just received and installed our solar shade today and it is gorgeous! We it. We’ll be back for the rest of the house!

Overall great experience working with The Shade Store! They have a huge variety of options and a very friendly, helpful staff. I especially liked that they had drawers full of samples that I could actually take home to see how each woven shade color and style looked in my home. The sales representatives worked with me to get my order delivered and installed before an event I was having at my home. I also liked that these quality shades are locally made. The installer was also very professional and friendly. I highly recommend checking out The Shade Store before purchasing your woven shades.

After looking around at many other retailers, not finding exactly what we wanted my husband and I ended up at The Shade Store. Abdol was so helpful! He was kind and patient as we looked through many designs. He even talk my husband through correctly measuring our window for the best fit. We are so so pleased with the final product and will definitely use The Shade Store in the future. We will definitely be asking to work with Abdol again.

I bought 3 large shades for my Salon and I couldn’t be happier. This was a great experience from the start. As I walked in, I was greeted by everyone. Shannon is who ended up helping me. She was amazing. I went in thinking that I knew what I wanted. I explain to Shannon where there were going to go and what I wanted out of the shades. She brought up a few suggestions that were different from what I was thinking. I couldn’t really visualize what it would look like so she took the time to walk me around to many of the businesses in the design center that had their shades installed. This help out tremendously! It helped me realize that what she was recommending what perfect for what I needed. Shannon knows her stuff!
The purchase process was very simple. I had them set up an instal which is very reasonable and totally worth it.
The shades look amazing! I’m want them at my home now. Thanks again to Shannon. I couldn’t be happier

We walked in on a whim and immediately met Kym, and from the very beginning we knew this was going to be a good experience. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted, and she was very knowledgeable about all their products and fabrics and was very patient walking us through just about every sample in the store. She made the process so easy. She really took the time with us… I think we went back 3 times. Just had our roman shades installed — they are perfect!

Kym George is just about one of the most helpful people to work with. She genuinely cares and all of my window coverings were ordered perfectly and fit great. She gave helpful design suggestions and the shades ended up looking great! She was very descriptive of how the installation process would work and followed through throughout several stages of the process to make sure things were going alright. I had a unique situation where something wasn’t going smoothly and Kym was sure to make it right with me. Great service and great workers!

We purchased roller shades from The Shade Store to our new house. The quality of the shades is great, no flimsy plastic parts.
We worked with Abdol and we got excellent customer service from our first visit to the showroom, to the ordering and measuring, through the installation and later the replacement of several shades, the product and the service have exceeded our expectations!
We will also recommend paying the small fee to have RST Installations measure in advance — everything fits just right. Thank you to The Shade Store and RST Installations!

The 2 shade mechanisms both broke in just 3 weeks after delivery and installation. Waiting for the spare parts to arrive and tech to come to fix it don’t know when. We’ve had shades from other providers before and did not have any problems for years. Sigh.

We had such a wonderful experience at the shade store! Michael and I built a new home and were at the end stages of our construction project. We visited the shade store and ran into Kym. What a blessing this was! Kym made it extremely comfortable and had options for us. She gathered the pricing and was very reasonable in her negotiations. Had such a wonderful experience! Thank you Kym.

This was an easy and painless experience. I love my new cellular shades. I did almost everything online and through e-​mail. I picked out samples online which were sent within 3 days (and they are absolutely free, no shipping and handling — free) and then worked with Kym at the Costa Mesa store by e-​mail for everything. I received a ballpark quote then she had the RST Builders/​Installation come in and measure. Within a few days the blinds were here and RST Installed the blinds in a little over an hour, and within my time frame due to work. The entire experience was wonderful. The pricing is very reasonable. I would recommend the Shade Store for any window treatments.

The Shade Store is the only place to get window treatments! This is my second experience and I can honestly tell you I would never get roman shades or curtains anywhere else. I worked with Kym this time at the Costa Mesa location. From the first time I walked in the store to her follow up email after installation, I was impressed with the level of customer service and attention to detail. Their relationship with the installer is seamless and they too are polite, timely and show great interest in having satisfied customers. What a perfect team. I couldn’t be happier to recommend The Shade Store.

From the get go my experience was great. The showroom is clean, neat and inspiring, the staff a pleasure to work with. I went in just browsing and was introduced to Kym, she happily showed me around the showroom and got the ball rolling with a lot of ideas for my space. She was attentive to my budget and the needs of my home and my husband. We are extremely happy with the end result and will be recommending the shade store to all our friends in need of some quality window coverings, ask for Kym she’s the best!

We had a great experience with The Shade Store. We worked with Kym, she was cordial, expert, and very helpful. We appreciated that the shades are made in America, arrive at the house very promptly (less than 2 weeks) after ordering, the selection and quality are unbeatable, and the pricing was totally reasonable. Comparable prices to Home Depot, but with a much more personal boutique experience and fabulous quailty. Great find.

Just received and installed my shades and I love them! Kym made my experience perfect. I really appreciate her professionalism, recommendations, and patience as I made my selections. The shades make my dining room look so contemporary and it provides a perfect amount of privacy while the light still makes the room bright. I will be back to get the rest of my windows covered!

Ordered roman shades for my kitchen, family room and guest bathroom and can’t say enough of how pleased I am with my order. I worked with Shannon Fulton at the Costa Mesa, Ca. location. She’s very knowledgable with ea. type of shade offered and was helpful in selecting a shade that would work best with my narrow window seal. My order was scheduled for delivery while I was on vacation. Shannon coordinated with Fed-​x to have the shades delivered to their showroom in Costa Mesa, Ca. Thank you Shannon I love my shades.

My wife and I had a phenominal experience at The Shade Store working with Susan Theurer. Really one of the best home shopping experiences we have ever had and Susan diligently followed up with us from the design phase and through and including after installation. Can’t say enough great things about Susan and The Sade Store.

I worked with Kym at the Costa Mesa location to design and order Roman Shades for my new home. When I received the shades, they were meticulously wrapped and protected. The wrapping itself made me feel like it was Christmas because I knew the shades were made and wrapped specifically for me. When opened, they were perfect! I installed them myself which was incredibly easy with a few basic tools. I cannot recommend The Shade Store enough! Thank you Kym!

Kym George was an absolute dream to work with on my shade project. She’s knowledgable, efficient and above all, PATIENT, as there are so many wonderful choices. My shades arrived on time and packaged beautifully, marked by room for our convenience. Overall a great experience and I’ll be back for more!

We purchased 9 roller shades from The Shade Store. From Abdol’s initial warm, patient and attentive customer service in our first visit to the showroom, to the ordering and measuring, through the installation and later the replacement of one shade with a small defect, the product and the service have exceeded our expectations! Our experience was similar to one of the other reviewers: one shade arrived with a flaw and they replaced and installed it immediately. We also agree with the other reviewer that paying the small fee to have RST Installations measure in advance is a good idea — everything fits just right. Thank you to The Shade Store and RST Installations!
