The owner (?) asked what we were looking for and then helped us assemble costumes literally head to toe for around $100 each which felt like a solid value. My costume included a gown, gloves, hat, shoes, jewelry (necklace, earrings, bracelet) and for my spouse his 3+ piece suit, shirt, krawatt, tie tack, hat, cuff links, shoes, shoe covers, walking stick, and so many other little details. I know it's tempting to just buy some thing on amazon these days but we loved supporting a local business and got SO many compliments all night. We also loved that we didn't have to buy anything to add to our closet /never get worn again or chase down all the bits and bobbles to really make our costumes special. Wonderful experience and we look forward to returning in the future.

I believe they only have two workers....the owner lady and another girl...both of which are extremely helpful and awesome people. if you don't want to buy, you can rent the costumes and clothes...it's actually where i got my halloween costume last year...i was a drag queen dolly parton impersonator....oh yah....it was a good halloween. i came up with the idea for it last minute and the cashier girl helped me piece it together. all in all it's a great little boutique...the people are friendly...so if you're in the market trying to find a costume or you just have a more interesting sense of style and need some new garb....check out "ish" for realsies

Your experience with Ish greatly varies depending on who is working that day. During my first visit…read morea couple years ago, I was completely snubbed and ignored. But then, I returned recently while visiting family, and had a wonderful experience. The tenant greeted us warmly, and explained which pieces were for sale and which were only for rental. She gave us some recommendations for other shops in the area as well. She was just so sweet! I tried on a selection of items, and settled on a vintage red mod dress. It was fairly priced, at about $50, and the dress was in good condition. I packed it in my suitcase, and flew home to the east coast... when I put it on for work for the first time, I felt something stabbing into my hip! I took the dress off, flipping it inside out. I pulled open the side seam allowance, and there was a huge, rusty metal clothes pin in the seam. It stabbed me! I love the dress, but I was disappointed that the shop didn't spot the pin at intake. It could have been dangerous! Overall I have positive feelings about the shop, but if you purchase second hand from here, please be sure to look over your clothing before wearing it. I'd hate for someone else to be stabbed!

I enjoyed my visit much more this time! Both employees greeted me when I entered the store and they…read morewere quick to get somebody to check me out. The checker was a really nice person and seemed happy to be at their job! They had exactly what I wanted, which was some lime green hairspray, but it was $9.29! It's the professional stuff so I understand the price and was willing to pay it. They also have cheaper options for colored hairspray. I think a lot of people don't consider this place when it's not "holiday" or Halloween time but they have so many fun products. Rhinestone and disco mirrored cowboy hats caught my eye at the checkout! Probably about six different varieties of those. Also, they have a really cool case of fashion accessories like rhinestone pins and cute purses that I took a picture of.

The thing thats so disturbing is the fact that they have penis costumes and alien costumes with penis and testicle parts attached that are named "the prober" even my 9 year old daughter knows that is very inappropriate. These costumes are just out in the isles where any kid can walk through and see. WTF guys, putt that shit in an adults only isle or something! Parents should be able to protect their children from this kind of stuff, but not at this costume store.

Now here I am again 9 years later and after my daughter's 6th birthday, and I am still singing their praises. The staff at Ideas alive is top notch - friendly, responsive, helpful. But it's truly the actors/actresses who are incredible! They have the ability to bring characters to life and create magical, memorable parties. This time around we hired an Ariel - she was STUNNING. She was so sweet and genuinely magical. Every single girl fell in love with her. From the dancing to the story time and face painting and the photo ops, everything was absolutely perfect. I especially loved how she didn't hesitate to jump in and on the trampoline with all the littles. I absolutely adored her and would recommend her in a heart beat, any time. Ideas Alive - thank you for continuing to create these special memories. You guys really are the best!!!

My daughter LOVED Ariel and is already talking about which princess she wants to come next year. Ariel was everything you could hope for: sweet, professional, beautiful, and perfectly prepared. It was an incredibly hot day, yet she stayed calm, graceful, and in character the entire time. She improvised beautifully when needed and made every child feel special. Truly a total pro. Thank you so much for helping make my daughter's birthday party so magical and unforgettable. We'll definitely be hiring another princess next year!

If you're going to take a customer's money and tell them no refunds or returns at LEAST have a dressing room, so your consumers can be confident in their decision.

Cant wait to final purchased ornaments made out of plastic and resold for $50.00 a pop. Why don't I just shred the skin off my back and give it to you instead?! You could make a lovely tree topper with it. JUST MAKE SURE I CAN GET SOME RESIDUALS TO COVER MY LOSSES FROM YOUR HALLOWEEN SEASON. Prick.

I've only been to Spitit Halloween once in my life before and it was about 8-9 years ago, north gate location. I just remember seeing a lot of inflatable scary things.. and a mess! Like costumes everywhere on the floor mess. Fast forward 8-9 years to this one: I was here at 9:30 am. No one was here! Pro: Clean store No mess Everything is in place/ inside packages. Cons Prices!! Insane prices Empty shelves In online shopping, deals, Amazon age, prices here are astronomical!! But it's also the convenience you're paying. I was looking for decorations, they don't seem to have much. A lot of costumes. I'm sure it'll come handy for last minute costumes shopping without that shipping delay/ wait. Clean, overpriced with plenty of parking! Next door to Costco.
