I had a very positive experience at Hurricane Denim. I was a teenage anorexic who is now a size 16, so I loathe clothes shopping and find it very dysphoric. A man who I'm guessing was the manager helped me find some jeans to try on - he asked me what I wanted, and then had a handful of pairs in about 30 seconds.
Unfortunately, none of them fit. He did say beforehand that he has trouble getting in stock of sizes higher than a 14, except in plus size jeans, where the leg is often too wide (I'm a size smaller in my legs than my hips -_- ) - he expressed his frustration with the clothing industry in that they are not meeting the demand for jeans that fit figures like mine, which he said were common. He was disappointed that he had customers like me all the time that he was unable to help, but he did recommend other places I could try.
Even though I left with no jeans, it was absolutely the most positive jeans shopping experience I've ever had. He made me feel comfortable and secure, was non-judgmental, and his staff were all very friendly. It's sad to say that this is not a common experience for me while shopping for clothes, so it was such a massive relief to have had this experience today, even though it is unfortunate that I couldn't find jeans that would fit me.
Hurricane Denim is an awesome shop and I highly recommend it if you do happen to be a size 14 or smaller, as they have a great range and they're extremely helpful.

I went to Hurricane Jeans with my girlfriend last week. We both hate shopping for jeans and often struggle to find jeans that fit right. Jeans shopping is generally frustrating at best and upsetting or humiliating at best.

The manager was friendly, helpful, and empathetic. His excellent knowledge of how different brands and styles fit was evident in the way he explained the differences to us as he brought styles to the fitting room.

My girlfriend remarked that although she did not find a pair of jeans, it was the best jeans shopping experience she'd ever had.

Sales staff were friendly, and the shop environment was well laid out with an area with a couch to wait on next to the fitting room.
