There was a main worker, I believe she was a manager that was terrible and made our whole experience unenjoyable. I didn't catch her name but she has brown hair and two different colored eyes. My child was by me the entire time and did not do anything that was poor mannered. Her attitude was pompous and demeaning towards customers. For being in a customer facing role, she had an attitude and shouldn't have been in her position.

This year, there's one on Clayton Road, taking over what would otherwise be an empty building. As soon as I walked into the store, I was greeted by an impressive display of decorations -- especially the centerpiece right in the middle of the store: a haunted train car surrounded by tall, spooky figures. The store itself was a bit messy, with some costumes messily scattered on the floor, and I wished the staff could tidy up a bit more. Still, I understand they're probably busy with all the last-minute Halloween shoppers. Overall, it was a fun and festive experience visiting the store.

I felt the need to review this store not only to rave about her wigs (hair pieces, toppers, etc.) but also because I'm not sure if people are hesitant about considering this place due to where it happens to be located. The building it is in is not particularly impressive & is actually a little difficult to find because there are not a lot of active businesses surrounding it either, though it is in the middle of town in a very nice area. This store has been in this same spot for over 45 years! Mary is the owner who is the only person running the store. She is wonderful! Your first impression may be that she is not interested in really doing business &/or not very friendly in general. This is so far from the truth however! Mary is very knowledgeable & friendly as well. She has a calm & professional manner making you feel immediately comfortable which is unlike other places that I have been to recently. No pressure is put on the customer to buy anything & questions are easy to ask which is so nice for those of us who basically know nothing about wigs. I am a cancer survivor & so is Mary. It was an added pleasure to know that she could relate to the many mixed feelings that I had about having to buy a wig due to the damage my hair incurred from the chemoradiation I went through for my GI Cancer. Take a look at VIP Wigs for yourself. She has a fantastic collection of European wigs, many of which are 100% made by hand! She doesn't normally carry human hair wigs but as I said, she does sell premium synthetic wigs that look exceptional when compared to the other wig stores that I have been to in the past.

There is both street parking and a small lot to support your travels. Inside, you will see a wide selection of wigs ranging from the synthetic to real hair and are all professionally created.

My daughter's 3rd birthday was Disney Princess Theme and I was looking throughout the Bay Area to hire a Snow White Princess to hire and surprise her and the guest. I was able to book our character and through Cinderella Company. Initially the person in charge was out of town while I was inquiring but communicated the whole time with me. They ensured that the Snow White that was coming fit the needs of my party. I chose the 2.5 hour package so that it will entertain the many kids coming. Snow White called me two days before the event to finalize the location and what will happen at the day of the party. I was so impressed from the time she arrived to the very end. She stayed in character the whole time and my daughter was in awe that Snow White was at her party celebrating her 3rd birthday. The adults also loved Snow White she looked liked she can from Disneyland. Snow White read a story with the kids first, did some singing and dancing, played with bubbles, did face painting and sang happy birthday, took pictures with everyone. She did such a good job entertaining the kids at the party. She even played with them while they wondered in and out of the jumper we had. We also gave Snow White a microphone during the party so that everyone can hear her. If you are looking to hire a character you should go through Cinderella Company.!Pricing wasn't bad, communicated well through the whole process! We were so impressed with our Snow White and loved every second of having her and making our youngest daughter's birthday that more magical and fun that day! We will definitely use and refer them to my friends!
