Hollywood Toys & Costumes

Best wigs in Hollywood. After going all over the city trying to find wigs for a project, this was the only place that actually had quality options and a huge selection. Hollywood Toys & Costume seriously saved me. The store has everything you could possibly need and the wigs are way better than what I was finding everywhere else. Alejandra helped me and she was incredible. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely went out of her way to help me find exactly what I needed. You can tell she really knows the inventory and cares about helping customers. That kind of service makes a huge difference when you are trying to pull something together. If you are looking for wigs, costumes, or anything for a creative project, this is the place to go in Hollywood. Amazing selection, great quality, and top tier customer service. I will definitely be coming back.

I had a great experience at this establishment. Johnna was very helpful in helping me pick out a horse mask and horse hooves pants plus lasso to surprise my date with

My sibling and I had such an incredible experience. (We went on a Sunday Morning.) The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about pretty much everything Hollywood especially Joanna (hopefully I spelled it correctly). It really is the essence of Hollywood and Halloween! The quality and selection are unmatched. If your in Hollywood it’s a must to check it out!

I have been going to this store for over half a century. It is a wonderful visit and everyone who visits Hollywood should stop by!

The person was very rude of blocking the customer inside the store and the person did not let the customer inside to shop very rude do not go in there when he's there bad review . I've never been treated so horrible I don't know why that the management keeps putting up with the guy when he's rude to the community

The employee I believed who was named Jonah provided amazing customer service both over the phone and in person. They were very knowledgeable and friendly towards me and my children. Definitely will be coming here for costumes again.

I recently visited Hollywood Toys and Costumes, and I have to say, the prices are absolutely unbeatable! I was amazed at the variety and quality of products available at such reasonable rates. What truly sets this store apart is its exceptional ownership. Being family-owned for 75 years, you can feel the dedication and passion that has been passed down through generations. The owners are hands-on and genuinely care about their customers, which creates a welcoming atmosphere that’s hard to find these days. The customer service is truly one of the best experiences I've had in LA! The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making my shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free. It’s clear that they value their customers and strive to make every visit special. If you're looking for great deals and outstanding service from a store with a rich history and a family touch, I highly recommend checking this place out!

Great shop for almost any kind of costume. I was hunting for good face paint and was delighted to see the MASSIVE selection of Mehron and Ben Nye products. The make-up counter employee was very kind and helpful. Shout out to them <3 They have kind of hat and mask possible, an impressive selection of tights/stockings, and SO MANY wigs. Both Styled and unstyled wigs are available. The only thing they didn't have was colored contacts, though they said they'd be restocking eventually. I learned you must have a prescription from your eye doctor to buy any kind of contacts.

Great and convenient store. Perfect for the random theatrical need. Located on Hollywood Blvd with plenty of local metered parking, the store itself is full of assorted costumes, props, and party supplies. The service was helpful and knowledgeable, promptly directing towards requested items. For the convenience, the cost is appropriate, though with planning and more time one could probably find a cheaper price somewhere. Definitely a quality resource. Will visit again.

It doesn't get more Hollywood and Hollyweird than this super shop of costumes, makeup, props, wigs, hats, decor and more. Open year around from 10am to 7pm all seven days in a week, Hollywood Toys & Costumes has been serving the greater Los Angeles area in Tinseltown for over 69 years. I've stopped in to shop and also seek out inspiration many times. When driving over we've been lucky to find parking on the street closeby, but that's a rarity. It's a brief stroll from Hollywood/Highland station and/or the garage at the Ovation. There are garages close by and street parking is metered or P (pay here) LADOT spaces with two hour time limit. The quality at H T&C is a blend of one of kind finds, halloween costumes dot come and a splash of spirit halloween. Also carrying magic items, clothing and more adult items. Ton of realistic wants and haunts, perfect for the month of October, but in no short way limited to just the later time of year. Check out all their holiday decor and costumes for throughout the year St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, and Christmas to name a few. As a costume enthusiasts, part time cosplayer and filmmaker I definitely appreciate all that is this Hollywood gem. The staff is always kind, helpful, friendly and considerate. The costumes for men are always a smaller inventory in store but a lot a bit more online (like wow). Even with the huge space they couldn't stock everything in store, but they do their best to highlight popular, practical and personal favorites. It's solid prices and deals throughout the year. Definitely a great store you'll be happy you explored.

Not bad, good service, just not what I'm looking for. It's a costume store so most of their wigs naturally are for cosplay. The attendant kinda knew about wigs but not enough to answer my questions, and since it cost four bucks per wig cap to try them on it really wasn't worth my time. It's a guessing game basically unless you have four bucks for each wig to try, and prices for decent lace fronts range from seventy to ninety bucks, with non-lace synthetics only ten bucks cheaper.

THIS PLACE IS A COSPLAYERS DREAM!!! When my partner and I came here to snag some last minute costumes for a Halloween Party our socks were blown off. This is better than any spirit Halloween or chain costume store you will ever go. They have costumes, masks, high quality body paint, wigs, accessories and more. Oh my! You could spend hours in here looking at everything. Staff was friendly, but heads up you do have to check in bags at the front! So if you're going on a shopping spree down Hollywood Blvd maybe make this one your first stop. Overall I was very happy with everything we got, and will be returning for my costume needs! :)

Love love love that this place not only exists, but is also so accessible. I stopped in to grab some silver hairspray for a cosplay project, and not only was the staff super helpful, but the price was also very affordable. Highly recommend this place, so go check it out -- in-person costume shops are starting to feel too rare these days, so I'm really glad this one has such a wide range of props, makeup, and costumes to choose from!

Can't believe I never reviewed Hollywood Toys & Costumes since I shop here for over 20 years! This store has been located on Hollywood Blvd. for decades, it is a part of the landscape, a cool, unique shop that makes Hollywood... Hollywood. It is all about magic, dress up, imagination, creativity, fun. They have everything from cool masks, costumes, wigs, props, make-up. Huge, great selection! Big store, greatly decorated. Prices are a on the higher side, but the merchandise has great quality! Parking is a tad difficult, no private lot, metered street parking. It used to be easier to park in the area when I first started to come here, not anymore! With various holidays coming up, check out Hollywood Toys & Costumes, always fun to explore and shop with creativity!

DON'T go here unless you're trying to pay double or even triple the price. I went to go get a Miles Morales costume for my son and online I saw that it was $17.99. We get to the store and it's priced at $39.99 I asked the cashier guy in the front and he pretty much yelled at me and told me that he wasn't giving it to us for a cheaper price. It would have literally been cheaper if I had gotten it shipped to my house.

This place was 5 stars during my visit last weekend. I am guessing some of the lower reviews come during Halloween when they are probably packed. The space is huge and they have everything. Wigs, costumes, props, masks, makeup, jewelry, adult stuff, and more. It's clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the prices seemed very reasonable to me. I'd definitely return here next time I need costume stuff.

I was searching for contacts for my costume and came across this store online. When you visit their website it encourages you to call to check product availability. I'm assuming their normal business standard is to answer and hang up on potential customers. I tried 4 times and each time someone answered and immediately hung up.

I have been calling since yesterday to find out about a Joker costume (Arkham City version). I FINALLY managed to get into contact with someone this morning at 9:24, gave poor customer service and barely gave me a chance to speak, then hung up while I was talking to him. Then proceeded to call back and he didn't answer the phone. On top of that, the website is slow and gives a complete different phone number if you want to check the stock of an item. Why am I calling a completely different phone number just to check the stock?! Why is the customer having to do more work just to find out about an item that they want?! This is terrible customer service. How does this store have TWO PHONE NUMBERS AND ITS HARD TO GET INTO CONTACT WITH ANYONE?!! I hate to drive an hour to Hollywood but I need this costume. I have a friend who says that they will come check for me but I don't want to have them drive all the down here and this store potentially not have it. Terrible customer service

It is Halloween every day in Hollywood and this store is proof. Kids love to be scared at the gallery of spooky masks they see right when they walk inside. I buy all my Guy Fawkes masks there! Look for the giant spider outside on the striking facade.

They basically have everything you need here. You don't really need to go anywhere Else for costumes except they didn't have the costume I wanted and they are overpriced but I highly recommend if you want good halloween costume options.

I really loved my experience at this place. I went in wanting one thing but ended up finding other things that completely worked out. I was on the hunt for those classic plastic masks and I found a lot! Super grateful this place was open because I needed masks for my project asap. The employees there were super helpful and tentative. I'm definitely coming back again for future projects!

Is this place really haunted? I hope so that would make it even better. Also you idiots complaining about cheaply made costumes what do you expect from a "costume store" costumes are meant to be worn once.. Go buy clothing from a real store and make your own if you want real quality or accept that most costume stores aren't going to be high fashion quality

This place won't even let you inside without an appointment. What a waste of an hours drive and $15 parking.

Prices are a bit high, but someone's gotta help pay rent for premium Hollywood Blvd real estate. I got great customer service from the guy with the strawberry red hair... sorry I don't know your name. He was honest and thoughtful in helping me look for costume jewelry I didn't end up buying. Parking tip: if you go mid-day, it's easy to find parking at Schader/Selma.

Wanted to go in after pride parade. Someone who looks like they own the shop or taking care of it at the moment would not let us in. Their hours said closed at 7pm and it is currently 2pm. He was letting other people in, about 4-5, while we were trying to go shop. So we decided to ask what time they open the next day and all they replied with was open 'tomorrow'

They have a variety of good quality costumes and great prices. Costumer service was nice they were very attentive

Mark my words I will never visit a spirit Halloween again. I love that there is a local place year round to get what you need. Keep this place in business!

Hollywood Toys & Costumes is a Terrific store right on Hollywood Blvd. They have a large selection of costumes, wigs, makeup and props of all kinds. This should be your Halloween destination! They are a year round store and I'm sure they have everything you will need.

Ok so this place has the best selection of costumes in all of LA. I hope it never stops existing.. BUT, I find myself incredibly angry at them. You can't try costumes or wigs on, and you can't return any or exchange. SO, I bought an Elvis wig (the photo on the wig had his hairstyle). I get home and Oh surprise! It's a different wig, I look like Jimmy Neutron. since I couldn't try it on, and I can't return it, am I supposed to be happy with that wig that serves for nothing, and $40 less in my pocket? Same happened with some pants, they were "one size fits all" so I got them. Oh boy was I wrong, they are huge on me.

Called In for stock check for a fat suit Drove 30 min. To get it and guess what no fat suit. They'll tell you they have it so you waste your time buyer beware don't waste your time

Customer service is horrible. The security guards are very rude, and the whole time, they were looking at my wife .

I have been a supporter for a long time. It is unfortunate that they almost went out of business and really did a big email marketing campaign to keep this wonderful place in business. We are however in a pandemic and today as I went into the store for the first time in forever the employee was not wearing a mask behind the register and was allowing customers who are not wearing masks to enter the store as well. As cases surge in Los Angeles this blatant stupidity and disregard for what is necessary for us all to get through this it's just atrocious. No longer support.

This stuff has an instance amount of supplies. From masks, to costumes, to wigs, to accessories and much more. Love it and the price is pretty good. Bought a 3 things and the total was about $20.

Horrible customer service! Employee gave the wrong costume and wouldn't exchange it for the correct one. Even after they said they would! Their fault and I had to pay....

Totally loved this place, I needed 1920s accessories and friend recommended to check out this place. They had everything I needed from pearl necklaces to hair band and everything is fair priced. When you in need of getting into a theme on short notice like me, this place will take care of it. Helpful and friendly employees and nice roomy store. I like it

They take care of all your needs especially if your a performer they have makeup wigs and much more and they sell props and magic.

We came here to check out Halloween costumes and accessories. We were looking to match a bit come the 31st, and decided to start the hunt in this place. We parked along a side street, just a 3 minute walk from the entrance. Once inside, we went straight to the costumes. We also checked out masquerade masks, face paint, and house decorations. We made our choice, made our purchase, and were out the door. The staff was awesome, and the patrons were a mix of different kinds of people. Cool experience, though, and now I wonder if LA is ready for when we paint the town red on Halloween night. This store is pretty well stocked, enough to make any bold Halloween idea a reality. Check it out.

I came in to purchase a wig and was greeted by a lady with red hair. She asked if I needed any help and I told her what I was looking for a brown wig. She showed me black and blonde wigs, and when I said I was looking for a brown shag hair wig that was better quality. She decided to get snarky. She then proceeded to tell me there was nothing there that would match my description and then randomly walks away. I overhear her talking badly about me to another coworker. Mocking what I was looking for and asking for better quality. At this point, I am frustrated and was about to leave when the wig stylist helped me, and she was really kind. She showed me a wig that she could style that looked like the one I was looking for. If it wasn't for the wig stylist I would've left without purchasing anything. Main thing to take away is if you're looking for anything to buy at this store stay away from the round figured red headed woman. She is rude and has zero training in customer service, and if she was properly trained then she is an embarrassment to this establishment. Wig stylist you were perfect and thank you for all of your help!

Do NOT get costumes from this shop. I spent over $400 just for every single costume to fall apart when I put it on. The costumes are either too old and frail or overall terrible quality. I informed the store on the phone and in person about this and was not accommodated whatsoever. Please look elsewhere for your costume needs.

Roger is the man! Super friendly and knowledgeable!!! Keep it up man, I really appreciate your help and positive attitude.

They stole my money I paid for an item that within minutes of the purchase I discovered I cannot use. They would not return, exchange, or credit . The exchange can only be the exact price and there was nothing I needed in that price. They steal money this way. This is a criminal buisness and the owner arrested should be shut down. I left the item that I purchassed there as I could not use it.

The guy who helped me was extremely knowable kind and patient and had the best advices while I tried to build my costume idea. If I could give him 5 stars I'll do so. The upsetting part is that literally on the first day wearing my costume all the different parts and accessorize started to fall apart. It's ridicules that they have no refund/exchange policy. My costume was almost a 100$ with tax and it come with a dress that I couldn't try on in advance but the way it's designed is very bad, cutting the butt in the middle and not flattering at all. So all I used was the accessories but their quality is the worst. Probably the cheapest "made in China" costume and they sell it for 100$. Very upsetting experience, I am a big costume consumer but won't spend my money at this place again. Now I need to buy a whole new costume and I am stock with this shield and swore I paid 30$ more for!

Was told it was by appointment only as another reviewer stated who also happened to be African american.. pretty sad in this era and I was prepared to spend a few hundred bucks. Won't be back

I have to say I was super impressed with this place. The last place I want to go on Halloween is a costume shop, but I had a make up emergency. They handled the intense crowd well, and the super long lines were very organized. I was also impressed with their make up selection and prices, and the cheerful demeanor of the makeup clerk (I don't know how she did it, they were so busy that day!) I got what I needed for cheaper than where I usually go back home! Definitely recommend.

Like ever other obsessed fan of Rupauls Drag Race, I love a good wig. Yes, I'm blonde with long healthy hair, but who doesn't want to look like Cherevery now and then?! This shop is located on Hollywood Blvd, so there are tourists galore, therefore parking is nearly impossible. But if you turn down a lucky street, you might be able to snatch a meter.  There is a pretty decent collection of wigs here. They have everything from naturals to crazy drag queen updos. The biggest downside of this shop is finding the wig specialist. You need to flag her down in order to try on a wig, which was super hard for my friend and I. We had to ask another employee to go look for her. The $3 wig cap must be purchased to try on a wig whether or not you buy the wig, but that's how it goes at every wig shop. Once she got down the wig I wanted though, it was all uphill. She was super sweet and helpful. I tried on a massive black lace front synthetic Cher wig that was a little bit more than I wanted to spend, but what the hell, right? The wig specialist was shocked when I actually wanted to purchase the wig, which was kind of offputting.  The wig itself is pretty gorgeous. It is by no means the best quality, and the price tag was pretty steep at $80. Although, it is a lacefront, and there is SO. MUCH. HAIR. If you're looking for a massive drag queen wig and have a hearty bank account, this is definitely a good shop to pop into. Otherwise, I'd recommend going to a wig shop downtown.

I purchased a costume which I was assured I could return if not needed! When I tried to return it the store manager refused to reimburse me for the cost of the costume! I will never shop at this store again!

I called Hollywood Toys & Costumes and they promised to take back an item and give a refund. When I drove 40 mins to return the item they told me they don't give refunds and refused to refund me.

Staff was incredibly rude over the phone. I requested they leave the doors open for an extra 2 minutes. They said no. I arrived at 6:58pm and they had closed their doors. Absolutely the worst.

Please dont waste your time and money on this place. Their costumes are cheaply made. I bought a marylin monroe costume $40 and it was see through. I looked for a reciept but i dont think they gave me one, when i went to return it they refused so i bought. Wench costume for $45 got home only to find it was ripped on both sides i called and asked if i could exchange for a different costume they said ok when i got there they said very rudely i could only get the same costume or keep the one i had so i opted for the same costume but not ripped got home to try it on and ALAS it was ripped. I am so upset and annoyed i will never ever buy anything from them again! Terrible customer service ur better off ordering off amazon!

Walked in to look around with my two friends and possibly get some ideas for costumes for halloween. Nobody greeted us of course but decided to instead followe us around like we're criminals! So rude! We felt so u comfortable. We ended up just leaving. Some advice; treat potential customers with respect! I hate to say it was a racial issue but it definitely felt that way! Shame on them!!! I will tell anyone I know to never go to this establishment!

A great place for costume make-up. I went and a helpful woman gave me advice. We will see how the fake eyebrows turn out. The prices are high but it is Hollywood. Furthermore, this is a great place for MAGIC!!! No, not magic the gathering, bunny in the hat magic tricks! A helpful guy/magician named Eric helped me out the other night. He displayed an awesome array of tricks and helped me find one that was right for me.

The place has changed a lot since the days of coming here as a kid. Looks like they still have a very large mask selection. (I still have 1 bought over 25 Yrs ago.) some prices just right while others inflated. Magic and tricks always got me and Brother in here and use to come by many Halloween's. Lots to see here! This is a Hollywood Staple for sure.

I recently went into this store looking for a costume for my boyfriend and I. The first big problem was that there was no dressing room. I thought this was strange for such a large store. Also their selection on costumes were limited and quite disappointing. However the main reason I left without buying anything is because they have a one costume rule try on policy.( you already have to try them on over your clothes). The store wasn't that busy so allowing me to try on another costumes would not have been an inconvenience. I don't know about you but how can you pick a costume out without trying it on first. I was very disappointed in the owners rude attitude and when I complained he just brushed me off. I wonder how they have been in business so long. Also parking is horrible. I suggest going a few doors down to this place called Bizzy B. They were so much nicer, helped us find a costume and I was very pleased!

My friend was having a "mask party" and well... I don't happen to have any masks available... being a child-free grown up and all that. Not knowing where to get an adult but relatively inexpensive mask, I found this place on Yelp. A good find. Parking is easy if you time it right, but this is tourist central so you may have to look to the side streets for a spot. The store is large but there was a very friendly young lady at the front counter who pointed us in the right direction. We checked in on Yelp and there IS a check in deal - it's 10% off... BUT it excludes a lot of things (including of course, masks), so the chances of being able to use it are slim. I mean really, it's 10% and you have to add so many exclusions? Ridic. We found some simple and inexpensive masks that perfectly fit the bill - with a little help from two more friendly staffers. We were happy with our purchases and the service we received. The store is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside and appears to have a really wide variety, so if you are having a party or attending a theme party, I'm guessing this place will have whatever you need. Bookmark it!

Unfortunately, never got what I needed, but review is more about the experience when visiting during the Halloween period. SECURITY: total jerk! After stopping me at the door and insisting on making me check my bag (which is no problem and totally understandable), made me wait 3 minutes forcing me to stand there and watch while he flirts with the exiting female customers, who actually walked up one after the other after I arrived. Um, hello? Do your job correctly, I was here @ security counter first! I almost turned around and left. WIG COUNTER: disaffected and rude. They actually frowned and one furrowed her eyebrows at me when I simply asked for a wig of a character she didn't know. As a whole, they were short and impatient with me, making me feel like I was the one who was at fault for their lack of knowledge. COSTUME COUNTER (against the far left/east-side of the store, near security): absolute rock stars! Older friendly lady and younger gentleman, who stopped at nothing to help figure out what I needed. Not in stock (yet another unfriendly, disaffected gentleman popped out from the back to signal they didn't carry it), but these two were so friendly and welcoming, working in-tandem to roll out the red carpet for me. Gave me some hope in humanity and human decency in retail. OVERALL, as I walked the store, I felt like I was being watched. Was I being tagged as a potential shoplifter?? No one wants to feel like that when walking a store floor. This establishment is a whole inventory of everything you see, but perhaps nothing you need, although the unfriendly, trying staff is the much bigger problem....

Tis' the season.... where you can find a plethora of costumes, wigs, make-up, accessories, props, fog machines, and fun. Bowler hat... check White suspenders.... check Walking cane.... check Fake eyelashes...check Likes: 1. Z employeez. As I wandered every other aisle, I was asked if I needed help by at least 3 different employees. Then, I asked a guy for help with the bowler hats. He was nice enough to go down the line and list all the prices for me. Unfortunately, the cheapest one was much too large for me wee lil head. He was more than happy to hook me up with some padding so it became a perfect fit. 2. Good stock. There were massive amounts of costumes, props, gags, and accessories. The possibilities for creativity were endless. 3. Prices. You know, I like that they have expensive options and cheap options. Plus, the cheap options won't make you feel like your cheating yourself out of quality either. 4. Walking distance. Unless you live nearby, like me... either hit the streets for parking or just park at the Hollywood/Highland complex and come on over here. Dislikes: 1. Hours. That's my only gripe that downgrades this store from an instant 5 star rating to a 4. They close the place too early for me. 7 o'clock closing time is rough for those who work all day and only have time post-commute to shop.

So I was looking for a pirate costume for a pirate-themed party my friend invited me to. I could've just gotten the cheapest thing, but I went all out and went for something of quality and spent like $130+ on a pirate set that had a nice coat. I bought a sword, too. Staff is very friendly and know the store well and made great recommendations. Pirate costumes for women are terrible, but I can't blame the store because costume makers are just not PC. Anyhow, with what they have, they are helpful. I missed out on the Yelp 10% discount, which would've been a good savings during my last visit (though I don't know the restrictions). They don't do returns nor exchanges and that's understandable because I figure it's because some folks would wear it when they need it and try to return it and that's not cool! They have a nice selection, a big, costume store.
