There are quite a few different Foy's downtown Fairborn, each housing a different specialty. We went into the main Foy's which had everything from masks to party supplies to cleaning supplies to candy to parakeets. We bought some candy, browsed the entire store, and had our fortune told by Zoltar. There were two fortunate teller machines and one of them was working. The shop is cluttered and not that big, but they packed lots in there. This iconic store has been around for years and I was glad to finally get to visit. My four year old was partially frightened and partially fascinated.

We rented some beautiful pieces for our show this month, and Marianne was amazing in getting everything set up and ready for us. When returning most of the items, I made the mistake of returning a shirt to the wrong location, so I had to come back the next week to complete everything. I was ready to pay an extension fee, but she was kind and allowed for that margin. We had a dress and lace-up shirt to bring back as well. My mother dropped off the dress first, and was told sternly by Nancy there would be a $40 damage fee. I wasn't sure what that was for, so when I stopped by to drop off the lace up shirt, I asked. I have a new costume team, so if mistakes were made, I want to make sure they know where they must improve. I have no problem paying the fee- prices here are very fair- but something happened after I asked what the fee was for. Nancy stormed away without speaking a minute, planted at another counter, and then proceeded to tear into me, loud enough for the room full of customers to hear, and potentially even the adjacent room. I think she somehow concluded I was trying to get out of a fee, which upset her. Despite me trying to communicate that wasn't the case, not only did she stop listening but she threw insults. A few of Nancy's choice sentences: "You are so snooty" "Your energy is killing me" "Has anyone ever told you that before? It's true" "You sound so snippy" "Everything you say is so passive aggressive" -I replied I was being genuine, she said, "I don't believe you." "I have been doing this for 40 years so if there's an issue I know it's not me." "Blip blip blip blip" (mimicking me talking and cutting me off for asking where to drop off the final shirt this week) Even if I was trying to negotiate damages, you still shouldn't use public shaming as a tactic. The customer is not always right, but I do believe that standards of mutual respect should be held in all interactions. Marianne was kind, professional, helpful, and honestly made the magic of clothing and performance come alive for me and my cast that came with me. Nancy was hostile, insulting, aggressive, and never even created space for response. I do have the interaction recorded, so all details can be corroborated. I'm not the person to post it (public shaming is not my method) but I'm happy to share the recording with the owners for reflection. I do hope moving forward that a space where artists can create that much magic together can also be a space of safety, gentleness, and mutual respect.

Disappointing Experience. Lack of Transparency & Customer Service…read more I paid $172 to have several dozen balloons filled with helium at the Cappels in Blue Ash for a 3/29/26 event. I called a week in advance to confirm they fill balloons purchased elsewhere. I was told yes, given a price estimate, and specifically told the store was closed on Sunday, so I would need to bring them in Saturday. (I was accused of calling the wrong store. I did not and my phone log is proof) I dropped the balloons off Saturday afternoon and paid in full. By the next morning, all but one balloon had deflated. Since I was told the store was closed Sunday, I had no way to address the issue before my event. When I followed up, I was told they don't guarantee balloons purchased elsewhere, a policy that was never disclosed. Only later after informing the owner that my negative review would be left on social media, did she offer a partial refund, which I declined, as the service completely failed and was left with no balloons for my event. Mistakes happen, I get it but it's the lack of transparency, accountability and willingness to back the customer when THEIR services obviously failed. Customers deserve clear communication and fair resolution. DO BETTER CAPPELS! I definitely will not return.

When I asked why there were no signs with this policy in the store. I was told "It is on the bottom of your receipt." This did me no good since I had purchased the item on the same day the no return policy started. I have no problem with the return policy only that customers are not informed of it before making a purchase. I will not be shopping here anymore.

Balloons - on ribbons - which went down to a weight all tied together. The sign was on the ribbons. I get up to the counter and he charges me an extra $2.50 for the weight. NO. The sign says "Take me home for 33.xx" The manager comes over and SMUGLY tells me that even though THEY tied it together - it doesn't mean the weights too. (with his way of looking at it maybe it was only for the ribbon and they should untie the balloons along with the weight). I told him it's BAIT and SWITCH - because - clearly it is. He just shrugged and walked away with a simpering smile on his face because he held all the cards - and what could I do about it? Party City doesn't have a way to contact them to complain. So whatever they want to do in the stores - you are at their mercy. Let me repeat that. Party City doesn't have a way to complain to corporate about what is happening in the stores. I have shopped there maybe 4 times a year for many years - but I'm done. Treat people nicely and with respect and DONT BAIT AND SWITCH.

My friend and I were thrilled when we found the perfect Poison Ivy costume I had been searching for. We checked the price--not too much. Tried it on--perfect! We went up to the register and suddenly things spiraled out of control. I couldn't believe how good of a deal I was getting, until the tally started to climb up past the seventies. "That doesn't seem right," I thought to myself. I checked the price tags again. What was happening? The price that had previously read $14.99 now said $26.99. And so on. What? This doesn't make sense! In a state of pure catatonia, I handed over my debit card, unable to dispute. As I left the store, exiting the Twilight Zone, my friend snapped me out of my stupor to find out what happened. I explained to her what happened, and she agreed that she had also checked the price of my costume pieces several times, not believing how reasonable the price was. We left feeling violated and confused. As I sank into the passenger seat, too traumatized to drive due to the emotional and financial rape I had just endured, I pulled out my receipt. Scanning it frantically, my eyes fell to the bottom, along with my heart: "ALL SALES ARE FINAL." My only attempt to explain what happened to me is that a store employee, or some sort of lowly criminal, hired to do the dirtiest of their work, followed us, learning our habits and innermost desires, searching for a way to crush our spirits in the most savage of ways. After lifting our hopes and spirits to the sky, he brought them to a crashing halt as he drugged us and switched the price tags on the items that we had been daydreaming about for months. The sad reality of this incident makes me feel as though I've succumbed to a dark, empty, existence in which I will never experience the joys of festive tricks and treats again. Also, my friend tried to buy a leotard marked $9.99, and the nigga tried to charge her $30.
