5 Stars! Amazing Selection and Even Better Customer Service!…read more What an amazing place! Whether you're shopping for Halloween or just looking for that perfect costume for another event, this place has something for everyone! I walked in knowing exactly what I wanted to be and almost changed my mind because there were SO many incredible costumes to choose from! I also appreciated the variety of price ranges. You don't have to spend a fortune to find a great costume. My husband and I both found exactly what we were looking for! But what really impressed me, even more than the easy parking and huge selection, was the customer service! The dressing rooms were well organized and efficient, and there were plenty of associates available to help customers find just the right items. A special shout-out to Jen and Carmen! These two ROCK! They reminded me of the days when customer service was truly a top priority. Friendly, helpful, attentive, and genuinely interested in making sure we found what we needed. They are absolutely an asset to this business! Great selection, reasonable prices, easy parking, and outstanding service. What more could you ask for? We'll definitely be back!

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE EXPERIENCE!…read more I spent almost $95 on a costume that looked and felt incredibly cheap. However, I needed it, so I purchased it anyway, regardless of the price. Unfortunately, it ended up fitting too big, so I simply wanted to exchange it for a smaller size. Instead of being understanding or helpful, the lady was extremely rude, dismissive, and had a terrible attitude. After reading other reviews, I can see that I'm clearly not the only person who has experienced this kind of treatment. What made the experience even worse was that I was NEVER informed of the NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES policy before paying. Apparently, I'm just supposed to find out after spending my money because it's printed on the receipt? Customers deserve to be informed of these policies BEFORE completing a purchase. And judging by other customers' reviews, I'm certainly not the only one who has had an issue with this. To make matters worse, the way I was treated honestly felt discriminatory. I left feeling disrespected, unwelcome, and as though I was not being treated the same way other customers might be. Almost $100 for a cheap costume and absolutely terrible customer service. The way customers are treated matters just as much as the products being sold. I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN. I would not recommend this store to anyone.

Wicked Chamber, Costa Mesa: Where Bad Decisions Get Professionally Styled…read more Apparently I had been dressing for Folsom Street Fair like a civilian. Thankfully, Mel, Jill, and Jen at Wicked Chambers staged an intervention. I walked in preparing for four days in San Francisco, starting with Twisted Windows Thursday, then going straight through Friday and Saturday night, and basically told them: make me look hot, dangerous, and just responsible enough to still have TSA PreCheck. Challenge accepted. These women absolutely understood the assignment. I left with black perforated mesh pants that somehow manage to be pants while also making a compelling argument against pants. Then came the black lace up bondage style pants covered in straps, buckles, hardware, and enough dangling temptation to make airport security reconsider several career choices. Then they added the white leather body harness, because apparently subtlety had already been pronounced dead. Next came the black mesh sleeveless top loaded with chains, rings, studs, and hardware. It looks like a fishing net and a dungeon had a very attractive child. And finally, the black tactical thigh bag with spikes and hardware, because every man needs somewhere to keep his phone, wallet, room key, and whatever remains of his dignity by Sunday morning. But the best part wasn't just the clothes. Mel, Jill, and Jen styled the whole damn thing. They listened to where I was going, figured out the vibe I wanted, pulled pieces I never would have picked myself, mixed everything together, and turned a pile of outrageous clothing into actual looks. There is a huge difference between selling someone fetishwear and knowing how to style someone in it. These three know exactly what they're doing. I walked into Wicked Chamber looking for outfits. I walked out looking like Folsom Street Fair should probably have been warned in advance. Twisted Windows, I'm coming. My credit card is traumatized. I, however, have never been happier. Mel, Jill, Jen: absolute fucking legends.

It's a staple year round in OC

And how lucky for me that you are right down the street! They're so nice and helpful here. Even when I have gone during Halloween, probably their absolute busiest time of year, the owner is always so helpful, even though she is getting pulled in all directions!! We participated in a Pirate themed 5K this past weekend, so I decided last minute to look for something to wear. They had a whole section for Pirate outfits and I found a perfect outfit right away!! We have another 5K coming up for 4th of July so I might go see what they have!! If you need a costume or are planning to dress up for an event, they have something for ANY event!! This place is Awesome!!

1st and last time coming here. I was looking for larger, better Halloween stores other than Spirit,…read morethat may be open all year. Gasoline Alley was one of the recommendations. So, I drove on down. The employee was a heavier set guy. He walked into the store a few minutes after we did and he went to the front counter. So, I walked up to him and was greeted. Told him i was looking for a specific type of jacket, which was a steampunk style jacket. the ones ive seen at Spirit look kind of cool, but never fit. I also told him kind of any long trenchcoat style jacket would work. They did not have what i was looking for and i was told to come back closer to Halloween when they get the Halloween stuff. Ok, I thought this was a year round place, guess not, but no big deal. Well, we did find a long trenchcoat style jacket that worked. There were two prices on the tag, so i asked him about the pricing since i had no clue why there were two. He said thats a rental. He said almost everything in there is rentals. Ok, fine, even Keith's i had no clue about this before coming in, but no problem. Here's the parts where the ONE STAR comes in. I did not know when i came in, but there was another customer in the store behind a partial wall from where i was. So he was fairly close, but I couldn't see him. At one point the amazing employee walked back to that guy and made some snide comment about "steampunk boy over there" to the customer. Sounded to me like they knew each other, at least somewhat. Thats when i saw the customer come around the other side of the wall trying something on. He to made some comment that i dont recall. Well, getting ready to leave, the employee comes back and tries to take me to the hats. He told me i needed a hat. I said no thats fine, I'll be wearing a mask so theres no need for a hat. He seemed to positively acknowledge that, but then he opened his mouth again and was a little nasty telling me if im wanting a steampunk jacket i will need a hat. So basically i reiterated what i had told him but was much more stern and told him im good. So heres the pros and cons of this place. PROs - A ton of costumes. CONs - Nasty employee. Place is WAAAYYYY too small for the amount of crap they have, it's hard to walk in there in some spots. Employee not very helpful and not very knowledgeable. Reason for ONE STAR? Nasty employee. Keeping in mind this was my first time here, with my kid. Would have looked around for a while longer and possibly found something, or something for my kid, but not after the way this guy treated me. Also, if you are mostly rental, but have some items for sale, wouldn't it make sense to have a small section for the items that are for sale? I mean, if that was the case, I easily could have looked in the for sale area (which there isnt one) and seen if i could find something or not. BOOOOO for Gasoline Alley. If you want the rental and want no help, go here. Otherwise, maybe check out Halloween Boutique in Costa Mesa, Triangle Square. Just place, organized and way more selection.

I was planning a mini 80th birthday party at my house for my stepmom and was hoping that Party…read moreParty would be able to fulfill my needs. They did! About a week before the party I stopped in after work to see what decorations they had. I honestly had no idea of what I was looking for, but I found many items in a rose gold color, so I went with it. For about $130 I was able to buy a bunch of decorations to hang on my patio, a Happy Birthday banner, poofy flower things to build yourself and tape to walls, plates for both dinner and appetizers/dessert, napkins, rose gold plastic cutlery, and I also ordered 15 balloons, a mixture of normal latex and larger, pretty mylars that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY on them. They said the balloons would be ready at 10 AM on Saturday, day of the party. I showed up at 10:10 and they were all blown up and tied together, ready to go! I ended up buying some weighted things to tie them to for the ground, they offered to do it for me, but we weren't sure of the balloon placement yet, so we declined. Nice of them to offer! I often throw parties at my house, but I never decorate. If I decide to in the future, I will go back to Party Party. They seem to have everything one needs. Also, half the store is Halloween costumes, so be prepared to walk up and down every aisle to see what all they have and decide what you want to get!

There are many vintage shops on Fourth Street, which makes me so grateful and happy. In the 1980s, we would need to drive up to Melrose Avenue in Hollywood to get this kind of quality vintage apparel and curios. Of course it was an adventure to get all the way up there into deep LA, find parking and browse through the goodness of vintage clothing - the styles, the colors, the textures, the worn in qualities which no current items can produce. Now we have the same opportunity in good old Long Beach. Starday Vintage Too serves as a sweet option for those curious about vintage, about old-fashioned style, and how to reinvent it today. Yesterday I cruised in to the shop, drawn in by the window display, which is ever changing, and always super -stylish. Their usage of mannequins is both haunting and delightful. It feels as though full stories are being lived out through their mannequins and the way they have styled them. The window display says so much about how the female owner (red haired and creative, Nicole) runs her shop: dynamic, thoughtful, retro-centric, and committed to the process of artistically offering vintage goods, highly curated, at fair prices. I just love to see their latest window designs, cruise around inside, chat with the friendly staff, and check out everything from studded belts to zipper boots, wigs to leopard print overcoats... just so amazing. To me, this shop sets the pace for the rest of retro row. It's the corner of 4th and Cherry, high traffic, highly visible and fantastic. Buying the goods isn't the point. Sniffing around, appreciating the items, their history, the store layout, and the entire in-store experience... Treat yourself to a visit. Good times!!

There was a horror movie costume section where I found a both Chucky and Tiffany costumes which I bought. There were some props from the movies which I had caught my eye as well. I bought one of the iconic prop knife and the heart of the Damballa necklace. I had to head to check out before I spent too much in one go! I came back to this location a couple weeks later. I ended up buying the life sized Chucky doll. It was $90 which wasn't as I would have imagined. $90 isn't a lot considering I spent a lot more on the Trick or Treat studios doll. I went back again and got the Chucky greeter which is a candy bowl. Wasn't expecting to spend the amount I did but here we were a year later with a growing collection.
