Slauson Super Mall

My friend was in need of a new piercing for her gauge in her ear. We happened to look up a place in Slauson super Mall .

While she was doing that, I happen to also take a walk around the area and it has a good amount of stores, if I was in need of anything I would go here.

Apparel
Shoes
Jewelry

Walked in looking for jewelry at a reasonable price and received just that. Great customer service experience.

This is an indoor swap meet that has everything you can imagine. Shoes, clothes, jewelry, socks, draws, YOU NAME IT! They even have a nail shop, a tattoo shop, an airbrush tee shirt shop, a massage place, a Mexican restaurant, and a place selling Jamaican patties in here. The prices are negotiable, of course, and everything I've purchased is pretty good quality. I had a massage here and that was well-priced and relaxing. Well, as relaxing as it can be considering you're in a swap meet on a massage table. This is a one-stop shop and I love it! Definitely come here if you want to get a tattoo, buy a beanie, eat a taco, get a massage, buy outfits for you and your man and your kids, and get your nails and makeup done all in one place.

This one is super huge! Of course because it's LA. They have some impressive stores with good product! High security and lots of GOLD! I seen a girls booth with candles and I spoke with her for a little bit and she was nice! Even told me seek more nature so I did! Nice little gem  there! Parking right in the front.

Love this place .. I'll never forget when I first moved to LA for college and went here with my hoe friends cause they needed some outfits for work.. as soon as I walked in it reminded me of an underground mall they had in Oakland, CA or the pulga in San Jose. As soon as I walked in I seen a pimp and 2 hoes (one on each arm) it felt very much like home.. the Asian ladies that sell clothes here sell the SAME EXACT items as fashionova, but at a way cheaper cost. Fashionova literally buys their clothes from China and ups the price after attaching their label to it. You can get everything here.. chains, lashes, clothes to work the night shift (if you know what I mean).

When I walked in, I knew immediately that this was the place. This man Eric or Don had what I was looking for; CREED body oils. The owner was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fair. CREED fragrances are some of the most expensive fragrances in my collection. CREED is known around the world as a Top Shelf parfumerie. I enjoyed the conversation about his knowledge and search for CREED and how he gagged at my mother being 86 and running around like a teenager. Brothers and sisters, stop in AMINA2.NET and get what you need, I did- MYCHAELTODD

LONG REVIEW ALERT! BUT IT'S WORTH IT!

This is SPECIFICALLY for the airbrush business in the swap meet... and also for the customer service of the swap meet itself. I hadn't shopped here since the 90s so I wasn't clear on the hours... especially since covid. So I call. Immediately the phone attendant said "Slauson super mall.. we close at 7pm may I help you?"

I said "Oh cool you just answered my first question." CLICK. He hung up! You can tell the difference between a hang up and a dropped call usually... but just to be sure I called back. He gave the same phone tag line, and I said.. "I just called. Did you hang up?" This fool said "You said I answered your question... so what is there more you want?"

Biiiiiiitch! I was GASSSSED do you hear me?! I said... "How did you know that was MY ONLY QUESTION?! You're so rude honestly godddddamm! If you don't want to be in customer service, go work in a coal mine! No one to disturb you down there!"

(Plus he'd be closer to home which I'm sure is hell)

Then I got the sweet satisfaction of hanging up on him and returning that favor... not that I'm Petty Betty, but ninjas ain't shit. Lol.

Knowing ninjas ain't shit should've kept me from going at all... but where can you find an airbrusher that will do skates? Read my lips... NO WHERE. Plus, each individual business inside the swap meet isn't run by customer service, but by their own owners so I figured it would be all good. I'd get my skates done and that would be that... and I'd stunt on them hoes old school style at the rink and live my best life! (At least, that was the plan).

So I take my skates in and find the owner of the airbrush/ embroidery business named Frank. He explains that his main airbrusher didn't show up that day, but that he had another booth with two more artists in it down the hall (Frank owns both stores btw) and that I should go see his other artists. So I go. There are two guys in the booth... 1 Black 1 Hispanic. Ty is the name of the Black one... and I wished I remembered the Hispanic ones name because he's the MOST epic of all the fails and the reason why this whole thing went left.

So I get there and the Hispanic guy is already dealing with a customer. He seems very enthusiastic which is great. That customer moves on, and I approach. He asks me what I would like & when I need my skates back... and I asked if they could have them done today which he said no. He said 3 days.. then change it to a week just to be safe. That's longer than I had hoped... but he guaranteed it, so I agreed.

So we start GOING IN! Discussing the design, the color, he's asking me what font I want... and so forth and we're both so excited! He even DRAWS THE SKATES on a peice of paper to block out the design! Now mind you... the Black guy is sitting there listening (and flirting) and whatever... it's alllll good (literally) in the hood.  He charges me $120 (CASH ONLY) and tells me they'll be ready in a week. He took my phone number on the receipt & design mock up so I figured all would be well.

Smash cut to... a week later I go pick to up my skates and I walk up. Hispanic dude sees me and IMMEDIATELY looks nervous but tries to play it cool. Ty (Black guy approaches) and asks if he could help me. THEY BOTH KNOW WHO I AM BUT ARE PRETENDING THEY DON'T... lol.. soooooo the gaslighting meter is lighting up like Vegas. I say I'm there for my skates.. and I point at the Hispanic guy and say he took my order and would know where they were.  Hispanic guy turns and looks at me and says "I don't do shoes.. sorry." Then TURNS HIS BACK TO ME and starts (while shaking) to airbrush some bullshit t shirt. I'm standing there... Black dude standing there. Awkward, boiling silence. I'm scanning the shop and I see my skates.. laying on the floor, huge dirt smudge on the right boot... untouched.

IM BEYOND LIVID... I say that those are my skates and dude turns to grab them and brings them to me. I'm hotter than fish grease at this point... but I don't yell, as I'm not huge on making a scene. We go back n forth and neither of them can explain to me whyyyyyyy they weren't done or why they didn't call, as they had my number on the receipt. Hispanic guy actually says he doesn't remember taking the order, then changed his story to he was taking the order for the Black guy because he doesn't do shoes and blah blah blah all this bullshit about him having diabetes and needing to go to church to "get right" with God (seriously).

At this point he's sounding like Charlie Browns teacher and I'm just imagining taking my skates, wrapping the laces around my hand and straight DOMING his lying ass and knocking him out and tearing up that whole mf store in that bitch. But instead... I just ask for a refund. They go to the cash box and get my money and on my momma they better be glad they had it or my fantasy would've become a reality.

Word to the wise... ninjas ain't shit. Don't fux wit the Slauson Swap meet. Periodt.

This is such a cute place. It's very clean and there are so many things to look at. Reminds me of a flea market. We went to some little shops and found some really neat things. Definitely worth a try.. even if it's just to look around. They also have a food court!

Well I can say that I've been coming here over 20 years, this place doesn't ever get better. As a matter of fact it is the unofficial official hood shopping spot.  

I do not buy anything from here anymore, I learned back in the day after buying pants that were really off id never buy product again. What I do come here for is the jewelry services. And no, I don't buy jewelry here.

I do get batteries for my watches here. Though the prices are inching up, it is at the moment $10 for new batteries. I have a collection and some of the cheaper ones I have i go here to take care of that.

Even though I dropped 3 of them off a month and a half ago, the covid lock down made it impossible to get them back and these people didn't answer the phone or reply to messages or let you know they were open.

Anyway I got em and I don't have to go back any time soon even though I have about 7 more watches that need batteries.

So there is no lack of saggy small pants, fuzzy slippers, weaves, fake lashes and gangster looking types all in one place at one time. I'm good on that BS.  I've definitely outgrown this trash.

I'll still get my watches hooked up though.
