A rude American girl doll experience
A few months ago at the American girl doll place in Manhattan a girl on a play date took her American girl doll from Target to the American girl doll place and was refused the hair salon treatment because her doll was not from American girl doll and was not real. Her mom who was not there at that time wrote a letter to American girl saying that she was thankful that American girl had refused the girl whose name is Etta! Also the other parents in line were making very rude comments about the refusal to do Etta’s dolls hair and Etta had been so confident that her doll was so real and she was very humiliated that it was not.
Etta had bought two dolls from Target and she brought her best doll, and even dressed her and herself up for the event her friend Julie had invited her to go to.

I might see them refusing service but I highly doubt the mothers would say mean things

that’s disgusting. they should have given the dolly hair service, even if she was a different brand. and the girl’s own mom saying she was glad they refused her? that mom was putting her child down and I think the child should be given to foster parents.

I’m sorry, I didn’t read the letter before I posted. I didn’t realize it was sarcastic. I’m glad Etta’s mom cared about her and I hope the american girl place changes their ways.

I honestly don’t see the big deal. Etta’s mom should have explained to her daughter that this was not a real American Girl doll. American Girl has the right to refuse. Simple as that.

one reason i think ag dolls are better than target doll is because they have more clothes than target dolls and when u go to target and if u want a nnew outfit for your target doll u would have to buy a whole new doll and when you go tothe ag place you have to buy one doll not 2,3,4 just 1 and you get to watch movies their and learn about history ag dolls are just better

I blame the mother she should know better, Ive been to the Ag store in nyc a couple of times and they are the furthest thing from rude. Why would she bring a knockoff their thats rude to the store, im the furthest thing from rich and had to save for my little girls american doll. I still have mine that is 22 yrs old and its still in good condition that explains the price. Shame on you for putting down the employees, they are so nice and have given me free secret tips to do their hair and cleaning at home. By a used doll for your daughter on ebay and get over yourself. You put your daughter in a bad place! Its like wearing a yankee jersey to shea stadium and wondering why you are getting booed.

I have never been to the AG place, but I do have a couple American girl dolls. They are great quality. I do not think that it is fair to not do a dolls hair because it is not name brand (if this is not made up). I will say that just because one person did this(again IF they did)it does not mean that the whole company is like that.
