I had several bags and no one just standing around the store offered to help me. I had some good finds with tags still on them and when I left, the owner acted like she was doing me a favor by "letting me drop them off on a day not scheduled for drop off. I certainly won't be giving any more donations to this store.

Went here a while back. I believe the woman's name was Jessica running the front. She was rude, and…read moreI won't be back. I came in with my girlfriend, and we looked around. She has a hateful heart, saying some uncalled-for things to us as we were going to check out with some items, and I hope that one day she learns compassion and unlearns some of that unbecoming behavior. I never thought I would be treated poorly for my skin color. I hope the owners feel differently. Cute shop, but that woman was nasty.

Been going to this beauty supply store since I was a kid and a lot has changed overtime. There are…read morecertain products in there that you will have to bite the bullet and purchase even though it may be overpriced. Definitely compare prices and ask if they could match it. Majority of the stuff in there is unreasonably priced and marked up like crazy. I go here as the last resort if I can't get it elsewhere. Definitely speak up because there have been price differences at their other locations meanwhile, the items are consistent in each store. A lady brought up this discrepancy at the front about the hats being $10 in Merriville, but six dollars in Gary and they decided to honor the price that was lower at their other Gary location.

I walked into the Southlake Mall looking for an outfit tonight, I do not live in Indiana. Upon…read morewalking into the Hot Topic I was greeted by an employee while looking at tights/fishnets. I was still contemplating which fishnets to pick, and she came back not even 15 seconds later asking if I needed help. I said no thank you. After picking the pair I wanted, I turned around to look at the clothes behind me on the wall, and was just perusing. She then came back immediately and asked if I needed anything AGAIN or if I wanted anything off the wall. This was all under the span of like, two minutes. I said no and she left but I could see her kind of circling around where I was standing. Some other customers were helped here and there. I finally needed help getting something down. She got it and took my tights to the register while I tried on my skirt, didn't fit, I put it back. I went to look at shirts. I am helped by another lady who gets the shirt down, it is too big - doesn't fit. I see these two associates talking while glancing at me as I leave the dressing room looking for something else of my style before deciding to leave while only purchasing my tights. As I was last looking, they were both hovering around me. Was the idea that I was going to steal from the second I walked into the door? I had no big bag in me, I don't think I acted suspiciously, and this behavior started the second I started looking at items in the store. I hate to scream "could this be racism", but I am Black, and both associates were White. Also, Hot Topic's fashion has just fallen off. It used to be so cool and edgy but now it's all tiktok/mushroom stuff. With the occasional "I can see this was inspired by Wednesday Addams"

This place is ok. I don't seem to really like anything in here. I bring my daughter here because…read moreshe loves the clothes. I seem to spend a lot and not get a lot for the price I am paying. The style of clothing and accessories in this store is very gothic like. My child doesn't dress dark or anything like that but she likes a lot of rock bands and in this store they carry a ton of rock band apparel. If your in to skulls and things like that, this is the place. I would not return because it is not my style but I will bring my daughter as long as she likes the stuff and its not too dark.

I literally ordered something the day before a holiday and receive a large order 2 days later. Customer service is really nice on the phone and tracking is very easy I have since ordered a larger order and in 2 days it arrived again. I did not pay for any shipping it was free for any purchase over 75.00 Akira is always having a sale of some sort. I just notice while browsing. Every piece I bought was excellent quality much better than H&M and will fit a curvy woman body. The great part is they are located in Chicago so American made and no waiting for 2 weeks for something made in a place I can't pronounce. Akira is fast, excellent quality and I can't wait for a store to open in NYC I highly recommend.
