Flasher

Bought the most amazing coat at this store. Sales reps are great! Great style and unique:).

After about 5 minutes in the store I was enamored by the pieces they had on the racks and shelves. Scott was extremely helpful. We did an editorial today and we were lucky to be able to pull wardrobe! Such a great place, if your a stylist this should be a staple for LA looks. Whether you have a young celebrity client or are pushing your personal style toward rock and roll, urban, edgy, or want a unique conversation piece you need to stop by.

LOVE THIS PEOPLE. Had a great experience here. Not too pushy, and they know how to dress you. I also left my wallet here and they DMed me on Instagram to tell me they found it. Amazing customer service.

I stopped in today with visiting Houston friends to have Scott Watson style is all. We all got something special during our own little fashion show, and there was no need to go anywhere else! Love what Scott chose; I will be back again and again. Thanks again!

What an amazing store! One of the few unique businesses on Melrose that takes risks and reaps from its’ own innovation. A lot of the items are concept pieces that the store owner, Scott designs himself! They all look fantastic and the prices are so fair! Few stores on Melrose carry as unique items as they do and you’ll always look great walking out. If you’re a musician or perform in any capacity, this store will get you a look that oozes originality. Don’t waste your money anywhere else! Oh and the music in there is top-​notch, what a playlist!

Just discovered this shop in melrose and I live right next door to it. Glad I walked into this store, saves me time instead of online shopping looking for designers like KTZ then having to have the clothing shipped all the way from Milan Italy. They have tons of high end designer brands and it’s amazingly well made, which I don’t mind spending my hard earned cash on. The owner Scott is great and will cater to exactly what your looking for, you can tell he really cares about his customers asking questions and keeping me updated on new products that are coming in. I will def be coming back here on a regular basis!

Clothes here rock, Scott is the best ever, and the playlist is always perfect. Coming back again and again.

Just a fab place to shop! We had three changing rooms and everyone was trying on clothes!!!
Walked out with a couple new looks and bags of outfits for all the girls!
It’s been a year and I still love my jeans! Never thought I could squeeze into a 25″ They fit like a glove and they are so comfy!
They make you feel like your on the runway!
The more you buy the bigger the deals!!!
Fun day in LA!

Love this store. If you’re looking for a one of kind, unique piece this is where you need to go. I have some amazing sexy fun tops from here. Some of the pieces can be a bit pricey, but the clothing is exceptional and UNIQUE. Big thank you to my fiancé who introduced me to this store =)

Siiiiiikst spot to shop !!! Costumer service is amazing over all amazing shopping experience.

Amazing store. I came in and Scott just knew what would look best on me. I loved everything he picked out for me. I have to these guys really know their shit. I left spending more than I wanted but could not be happier. This really is one of the sickest stores in Hollywood. Love love love Flasher!

Wow! Wow! Everything all the five star reviews have said. I have never had a shopping experience like this before.
I walked in to just have a quick looking and of course the sales girl (I forget her name she only works weekends tho sorry) immediately asked gave me a quick walk through of the store. I mentioned the kinds of clothes I was into and BOOM she was picking stuff out left right and center.
Everything she picked out was amazing and exactly what I liked, they have good eyes for what looks good on you. And of course I got honest comments for the items I wore. I am from out of country and I mentioned things I was going to do while in the city, she called up people she knew to give me tips and advice on other stuff. Full of lots of fashion secrets, this was like having a personal shopper plus. Sooo friendly! She was looking online for things they didn’t have in the store and just went above and beyond her job. It seems all the staff are of this nature. I even tried tipping her at the end, which she refused to take.
At the end I was able to get a bit of a discount as well, there was no pressure to buy anything I had at least 10 items picked out for me and I only bought two. I will be back before I leave after seeing how much room I have left in my luggage.
This is rocky edgy wear, so many things to look through but they will help you, this has to be one of best customer service experiences I have ever had in the world (I travel quite a bit). I never tried using Unilocal for shopping but this has begun my quest to use it. I was extremely happy with my purchases and what I paid for them.
Keep up the awesome work everyone!

They have the best Rockstar pants! The coolest store on Melrose. I will always be back here to fill my collection of clothes.

I purchased a jacket at Flasher on Melrose Ave. yesterday that was marked with a price of $ 690. The sales girl offered it to me for $ 400 after making a call to the owner ‘Tui’(?). The prices in this store are not as marked. I got home and wanted to investigate my awesome new jacket. I found it for so much less online… granted prices are usually always lower online.
I went back today and was told that what I had purchased had been in their store for 6 months (as per the guy at the register) and they bought it for $ 238. I asked for a refund and they would not budge.
This store will not refund you what-​so-​ever. They will only give exchanges or store credit.

If you’re not ready for a full on tornado of crazy, this isn’t the store for you! After checking out the Fairfax flea market one Sunday, we hit the shops on Melrose and stumbled into Flasher.
The clothes are edgy and hot and a little rock n roll, though a little pricey. But don’t let that stop you, because even if you wanted to leave this shop, once you step one foot inside you are sucked in by the two sales people’s vortex. I wish I could remember their names, but I suffer from self-​diagnosed early on-​set Alzheimer’s.
Their energy was scary at first, but infectious, drug fueled? Who knows, who cares, it was intense and fun and ultimately you will leave with something, they will make sure of it.
Though I normally detest high pressured sales people, like an annoying chic at the Gap (example only) looking under your dressing room door asking ‘How’s it fit? Can I get you another size? What’s going on in there?’ — those types I want to mace in the face. However, this experience was so insane it crossed the glass ceiling of annoying right on over into this never never land of charming. Or maybe I am just a fool for flattery.
Before I knew it I was in the dressing room, being handed one thing after another after another and another to try on. The dancing, the compliments, the energy, what can I say, we walked out with two amazing dresses and a top hat– yes a top hat.
We haggled the price down a bit, got a good deal and all in all it wound up being the highlight of our afternoon. After all, it’s not everyday that a dancing fairy girl and an insanely humorous guy with a puppy dress you up like a Barbie doll and flatter the pants off of you, or the money out of your wallet I should say. Either way, I’m sold!

If you are looking for some edgy clothes, Flasher is where you need to go. To all those performers out there, if you are looking for some bling to your costume, Cosmo is the MAN!!! Check them out on Melrose, they have some really ecclectic pieces.

Ok, my boyfriend and I happened to pull up at a meter outside this place when we decided to do a little manic splurging (we were having a bad day). I saw the Nikki Minaj corset-​tutu amazingness with rocker-​esque patterns and sparkly, shiny glitter out front and ran into the store gasping with glee, knowing goddamn well I couldn’t afford a single thing in there!
I was wrong. Out pops Cosmo dressing my 6’1″ 190lb, Mid-​Western all american boyfriend flawlessly in clothing I was too scared to buy him but KNEW He’d look great in. Then he starts on me, and I’m like «I really don’t have any money! This is his day really… OMG I’d totally dress like this if I had money.» «Oh honey, you don’t need money, we’ll give you a discount. You’ve got such a great look, look it’s such an upgrade!»
I was in love with everything both of us put on. Cosmo knows his sizes, and can look at someone and dress them fabulously within their style.
What I loved is that while the clothing is a bit pricey for me, it wasn’t SO unreasonable and we got a discount. The clothing looked so awesome, but similar to a lot of the other things on Melrose, however this stuff is WELL MADE. These clothes were NOT going to fall apart like some of the $ 30 tops I find on that strip, they were destructed, high quality (go figure!)
We ended up getting two «leather» jackets, two pairs of awesome combat boots, a scarf, and a great pair of mens jeans.
I’m generally not a fan of people being all in my face when I’m shopping, but this was, as Cosmo put it an «Oprah Makeover.» It was super fun, and he wasn’t real pushy about us buying everything we tried on.
That is officially my favorite parking meter on Melrose.

The BEST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
Cosmo is quite the entertainer and can change how a woman looks with three throws of a scarf and a tussle of hair. Seriously.
I went from looking like a mom, (his words and I agree), to looking like a rock star. I am not kidding here.
His beautiful red-​head assistant was quite the help, too. She found me shoes, shirts, and ran back and forth while Cosmo decided what was good for my body type. When I didn’t particularly like a shirt, it was tossed aside and a new one brought for me. She made me feel like I still had «it.»
The experience from this shop is worth every penny.
Cosmo is a character, that is true, and he knows it. That’s how he is. If you are insulted easily or wear your feelings on your sleeve (no pun intended), don’t bother going in here.
BUT…if you are open-​minded, enjoy great entertainment, like looking wonderful, and have a few hundred bucks on you, this is your place.
When I get rich, I am «buying» Cosmo. (wink wink) He will be my personal stylist. ;) I love him, and a lot of other people do, too. He’s very, very well known in the LA area, especially the club district. You say «Cosmo» and everyone knows the name.

Warning: If you’re not a fan of in your face (overly friendly) attitude and sexual innuendo, then this isn’t your place.
It all started innocent enough, we were walking down Melrose Avenue and saw the store, nothing interesting in the window but my curiosity got the best of me. We walked in and it was pretty quiet… then out of the glittery curtains came Cosmo. Before I could say anything I ended up in the dressing room with combat boots, demin jeggings, and the two MJ shirts I had in my hand (how did he know my size without asking me?).
My friend as well got an instant makeover and we couldn’t stop laughing and joking with Cosmo. (In one convo we had, he asked if my friend’s boobs were real, and he said he’ll hook us up with a discount and we didn’t even have to sleep with him LOL!) I ended up getting the shirt and my friend got the boots at an extreme discount! The place is a bit pricey but it’s well worth it!
Bottom Line: If you’re not easily offended and love shooting the breeze and get some really cool clothing, then this is your place.

I’m old. I’m jaded. I rarely go out and rarely spend money on myself. But… I had a birthday.
The second I walked in, I remembered Cosmo from the pair of lambskin pants he sold me twelve years ago. I have stylists and designers as friends and, I’m not kidding, none of them are better than he is. You know how some nights you go to a club just to window shop and other nights you go packing? Bring protection, because you’re going home with something in this store. I bought everything he put on my body. He didn’t try to mangle me into something too young, he didn’t try to fit me into something three sizes too small and then lie about how fabulous I looked, he got my style at a glance and fixed me up with an entire outfit that was perfect, yet nothing I would have found on my own. I want Cosmo for my very own.
Then when you add Evan into the mix, nice sweet candy for an old cougar, well… I’d like him too for my very own.
I spent more than I planned and don’t have one iota of buyer’s remorse. For me, that’s saying something.
