Absolutely LOVE Pierre's Costumes/Planet Santa. Jennifer is the most amazing General Manager I have…read moreever worked with. I have been a Santa Claus ambassador for 26 years- Which is normal for men who are Santa Ambassadors... However I am a female. Its VERY VERY hard to find the fit and function that not only conceals the fact that I am a woman, but also gives me the look and confidence to portray the man in the red suit perfectly. Their quality and craftmanship is unsurpassed. I own the classic and traditional suits from these nice folks and just purchased a coat. I will be back again and again. As a native of Philly, living in Arkansas I am so blessed to find this gem of a shop. I recommend them Highly! If you shop somewhere else for Santa Supplies, you need coal in your stocking for sure! They will not steer you wrong! If you want to ask me questions about how awesome they are, ask them to share my email I'll be happy to tell you how they got on my nice list forever! Great Job Jennifer! Shout Out to Heather who modeled my new coat for me via email and the Big Guy who helped round out the deal! ...Now if you just shipped WaWa coffee... Santa Mel

[1080] 2/2020…read more I visited this costume store in Philadelphia while in the area. Plenty of strip mall parking. The store is huge and seems to be open all year round. There are a ton of costumes available in this location. There is an upstairs which has closeout items. They have a 50,60,70 and 80 costume section which made me want to find a themed party :) We picked up a few cool items while here. Staff was friendly We will definitely be back.

The good: They…read morereally have a bit of everything. If you need to find a last minute anything, for a costume party, a dancing gig etc -- I'm pretty positive they'll have it. They have a sections of " goth clothing", adult section in the back, a kids section and everything in between; from clowns to princesses, to fairies and jesters they truly have it all. The make-up section is OK , has all the essentials color wise , fake blood and all that jazz. I was looking specifically for " jester make up", which they didn't have, but if you know what you're doing they definitely have the colors CON: is the price. Biggest "con" of all ( see what I did there ;) Their corsets are priced at $99.. WHAT? I could go to Victoria Secret for a real one.. and some! Ps you can find corset online for $20.. I found a top hat that was cute.. I flipped it over $79.99 . WHAT WHAT? I was flipping it around trying to see, is this made from gold? From magical fairy elves.. a brand name? I have no idea. I ended up making my own from materials of AC Moore for about $5.. They'll have what you need, I'm sure of it. Just be ready to shell out

To be honest, this place didn't make us feel welcomed but they did do a good job putting together our order of balloons. The prices are pretty reasonable as well.

Fantastic experience!! We hired Rumi for my kid's K-pop Demon Hunter themed birthday party and she…read morebrought the fire!! She came in like a wrecking ball, ready to give the kids the best private concert of their lives! They were greeted with a mesmerizing song and dance, then were handed VIP backstage pass lanyards that she personally signed, following by giving each kid some patterns of their own. She made my kid feel so special by having them lead the group in a dance and letting them sing with her on "stage". I was so impressed by her talents and the kids she were all in awe. I had FOUR kids come up to me and tell me that this was the BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY they had ever been to! My best friend looked at me during the party and whispered "she's worth every penny!"

She really has the parts so well and engages with the kids, addresses them by name, and is just so lovely. Booking with her is so easy, she's great to work with.

What a pleasure (and a learning experience) it was to shop with Ms. Arnold during my visit to…read morePhiladelphia! As someone who has always had healthy hair, losing my strands due to illness has been very distressing. I am not a wig wearer, and knew next to nothing about them, but I was open to learning. I planned a consultation at Hairs 2 U to coincide with my time in town. Ms. Arnold was patient as she explained the different types of wigs, and tried a few on me before I felt I had the perfect fit! She then made sure that I knew how to take care of it, how to style it, and how to re-order it (or any of the styles) online. Although I live in Atlanta, where there are PLENTY of wig shops, I will continue to buy from Hairs 2 U - I love their mission, and I love my new wig!

Lois is very kind and helpful--I came in looking for a specific style, for a last-minute event, and she found exactly what I was looking for. She allowed me to try it on before purchasing (with cap of course), which was great. I bought a synthetic wig for a costume, and the quality was much better than anything you'd find on Amazon--it not only fit right, but the hair felt and looked natural, and it was at a very fair price. I'll definitely come here again.

Visited Omoi Life Goods to check out what they offered (and get a passport stamp for my Traveler's…read moreNotebook). Enjoyed that they had a variety of not just paper, journals and pens but also locally sourced items like coffee, books and stickers. The shop was pretty crowded during my visit, probably a dozen people or so in the small space. This made me happy to see so many people shopping local. Eventually, after browsing most of the store, I decided to get a coffee bean pendant for my Traveler's Notebook. I've seen this same charm online for upwards of $20. Omoi's was $18. Definitely a value there! The service was excellent. While ringing me up one of the ladies running the register grabbed the Traveler's Notebook stamp (which you have to ask for) and let me do my thing. The stamp for the Traveler's Notebook is pretty cool, it features a soft pretzel and Water Ice.

Omoi was close to where we were coming to / heading to, so I bookmarked it and we managed to stop by before they closed. It was actually really poppin when we got there, despite the fact that it was about 30 minutes to closing time. I wasn't really on the market for anything, just wanted to browse. I ended up picking up some cute notepads for a friend and some washi tape for myself. I love that they sold matchbooks here! I am an avid matchbook collector, despite not smoking a day in my life. Staff were super nice and very friendly.
