I came to Bamboo Ballroom for the first time last week after receiving a gift certificate to the store from a Yelp Event (Yea Yelp!).
I was pleasantly surprised by the array of jewellery available by local artists. The store was bright, airy, modern, and fresh! I loved the tree at the entrance to the store used to display local jewellery!
I found most of the clothing a little out of my price range - but many beautiful pieces none the less. I ended up purchasing a gorgeous little change purse after drooling over dozens and dozens of items.
Especially when on the hunt for a unique piece of jewellery for myself or a gift, I will definitely be returning to this store when in the area! -

This might just be my favourite little store on Whyte. Well, it's not exactly on Whyte, it's just a half a block off, but you know what I'm saying. My style ranges from preppy to retro to urban depending on my mood that day. But I know that when I go to Bamboo Ballroom, I can always find something stylish and on-trend.
There's an awesome selection of brands, including one of my favourites, BB Dakota. Lots of bright, colourful feminine pieces in here that are more in my price range than some other boutiques on Whyte. I love that they also carry Matt&Nat accessories, plus some local items.
The staff here are always really friendly. I know they host private shopping parties, which I would love to try someday as well! Ladies, if you want to look awesome and feel good about supporting a local business and even local designers, take your stylish butt to Bamboo Ballroom. -

A great place to shop! The store is stocked with beautiful clothes at a variety of price ranges- so there is something for everyone! They also make an effort to support local designers, which is fabulous too! And I love how they also support local Edmonton charities as well- there is nothing better than getting a discount on your new jeans purchase, because you brought in an old pair for charity :)
I absolutely adore their jewellery selection- if you're ever in need of a great gift, make sure you stop by here!
For a store on Whyte, they also have very decent store hours, so my only complaint is finding parking when I'm coming for some retail therapy. -

I needed to get the girlfriend something nice and I heard good things from Bamboo so I went to take a look. I'm terrible at shopping for clothes (especially for others) but luckily the staff were very helpful. I showed them some pictures of her off my phone to give them a better idea of her "style" and they helped pick out a really nice shirt and a necklace.
Because it's geared toward females, I'm probably not qualified to say much else beside the store itself is quite nice looking. -
Review from Lauren N.
The Bamboo Ballroom is another hip store specializing in local and North American brands, like SunDae, Soia & Kyo, and Bench.
The store is tastefully designed and decorated, with a very clean and polished look. Stainless furniture accented with hardwood floors give it a modern and sleek appearance.
They have a wide selection in jeans, and often you can find several good items on their sale rack (tucked just behind their jeans). There is seating for those who don't want to shop but have been forced to come (read: boyfriends). They also carry beautiful silver jewelry and handbags.
I was told an interesting tidbit, and I'll let you in on it: the Bamboo Ballroom actually has a backroom salon, in which they offer hair services. Ask for store owner Anastasia, and she may be able to book you an appointment for your hair! It's fashion from head to toe at the Bamboo Ballroom!Listed in: A Walk Thru Whyte, Where the Best Threads Are ...

I've been a regular at this store for a few years now and I have to say that each season the clothes are better than the last! They keep adding new brands and while they have items that are expensive (but worth it) they have new budget friendly brands that are amazing! I also really like the staff, they're friendly but not annoying and seem to give really honest opinions - I've been guided to items that would better suit me than the ones I've picked out for myself and I really appreciate that - it keeps me coming back! Happy there is a boutique that's so pretty to shop in here in Edmonton :)

This is another trendy store on Whyte Avenue that sells a lot of really nice clothes, but carries really small sizes. I hate to take it out on Bamboo Ballroom, but I am getting rather frustrated with these store, when they don't even carry a single size 14 or an Extra Large shirt.
It was too bad too, because I found a few top that I absolutely love, but they were just a little too small for me. They were way too expensive anyways. I'm not sure how I could justify spending $150 on a shirt. I have a hard time jusifying spending just $60.
The space is nice, with its hardwood floor and all, but the prices and sizes suck. I'll still give it three stars though, because I guess it's not their fault that nothing there fits me and that I haven't won the lottery yet. -

This is a great store! I've been in here a couple of times before and I just love a lot of their simple but really fashionable looking clothes. They have a great selection of jeans that have some really simple but nice designs on the back pocket, but they are a bit pricy. They have some really cute tops and have that old meets modern but classy kind of look. They don't have too many accessories but the ones they do have are extremely unique and very modern. They have some headbands with feathers and a cute little bird on the one side of it. I know that sounds crazy but that look is totally in.
Their store is really nice and neat with large open areas. It makes walking around very smooth; you don't hit anything or feel trapped.
The girl that was working the day I walked in was really nice and super sweet. She let me just look around and do my thing. This is the store that I love to come into and walk around and make mental notes of all the items I wish I could fit into or afford to by. They have really nice styles and I sure everyone would look good in. -

I didn't LOVE this store, like many other reviewers have. I find the clothes expensive and the staff a little snotty. I am not a tiny, girl and these clothes did not flatter my body at all. The staff gave me a weird look when I walked in, and I was never greeted or offered help finding anything. I felt very out of place.
I really did like their accessories. There is a small selection, but I really like the stuff they do have.
If you are a tiny girl, this store is probably perfect for you. But if you have curves like me, you probably won't find anything that will fit. Too bad too because I do like their clothes. -

Bamboo Ballroom combines fashion with esthetics to help women create an all-around look. Canadian designers like Covet and Industry are featured, along with Suka Designs, an in-house line. Hair and skin care are provided by expert stylists and estheticians. The store has an unusual atmosphere, with a retro flair but modern feel. BB is especially known for its collection of denim. I really like the selection of designers, and the fact that I can shop there and still have money in my wallet left over at the end.

Bamboo Ballroom is a cute trendy store. There isn't that much stuff here, so you won't be overwhelmed. In fact, there are only two or three racks which are densely packed with clothes. The clothing sold at Bamboo Ballroom is elegant and minimalistic. What you will find here are jeans, pants, tops, skirts, dresses and some outerwear. And don't miss bags, scarves and gloves (made of real leather right here in Edmonton!). For me, Bamboo Ballroom is similar to Ginger where the owner stocks the store with fewer clothes that one would expect but which are of good quality. I did notice that most of the items at Bamboo Ballroom are synthetic however they do look nicely tailored and unique. During my last visit I located amazing belted wool dress which unfortunately was too big on me. What I love about this store is that they carry small sizes. Finding pants and slim fit tops are real drag for me, and Bamboo Ballroom provides a nice relief.
Generally, this small store is really worth checking out. Sales girls are friendly and helpful; don't pressure customers into buying anything; and if you come here with your guy, there is a couch at the front where he can sit down and relax while you scan Bamboo Ballroom's selection of trendy clothes and chat with sales associates. -

If you are looking to not look like everybody else- then the Bamboo Ballroom is definitely for you. They have so many cool things to choose from and brands like Free People, Mink Pink and Hudson that you can't find many places...plus lots of locally made things as well. it is like no other store in Edmonton. You can tell that the buyers are girls too and are thoughtful when they pick stuff because it is always well fitting and there are lots of styles for different shapes. I have been a loyal customer of this store for the last 5 years and have only ever had a good experience. The staff is helpful when you need it, but not pushy . And lately I have noticed that the prices keep getting better and better. I am a big fan

I discovered this trendy shop after a visit to the hair salon, Shanti. The girls at the hair dresser all shop here and since they all look fabulous - even on a bad hair day - I had to pop in to check it out. Bamboo has lots of '80's inspired baggie shirts with shoulder slits, designer tops from British label, Bench, unique House of Spy pieces, Seven For Mankind jeans, wooden jewelry from local designers and much more than I can often afford. You definitely pay a premium here to blend with the hip kids who work and play on Whyte Ave. but there's always a sales rack if you don't mind joining the ranks of the cool at season's end. If you're like me and you shop for Christmas ornaments and bathing suits off-season, then you can still look trendy but save a few precious pennies in the process. A lot of these clothes are so edgy and cool I'm afraid to spend the money on them only to have them go out of style, so I usually settle on pieces that are a bit more classic.
