Viva Gift Store

I was referred here by my hairstylist as a place to get cheap hair extensions. The people are nice but I looked up online prices and they are cheaper bought online, really. But this place you can get them right away instead of paying and waiting for shipping.
P. S. They carry a shit ton of wigs here.

I have been coming here on and off for years. Yes sometimes you do get followed around but the family that runs it are pretty nice. They try to be helpful if you’re not sure what to buy. Prices can be more than what you might get at the Dollar Store but the store is larger than any dollar store. I come here for pantyhose which I sell online. Also get false eyelashes, makeup & socks.

I’ve been coming into this store consistently since I was like 6 years old. I grew up a block away. Still to this day, they follow me and treat me like I’m gonna steal from them. I’m a pretty well kept looking Caucasian person, they literally follow the ethnicities around. BUT– they have good shit at good prices.

This big store has been around forever. It’s kind of a hodge podge store with a mix of things like wigs (human and synthetic hair), human hair for weaves, Dickies, clothes, hair accessories, ethnic hair products and an assortment of random items as well. The folks behind the counter are pleasant, though there may be a slight communication barrier depending on who is working the day you visit. It’s not a high end place but more of a neighborhood «go-​to» spot… one of those places you keep in the back of your mind and are glad it’s there.

This place deserves zero stars. To Black customers and future Black customers: Stay away from this store. The people who work here are racist. I went into the store to purchase a leave-​in conditioner. When I brought the product to the counter, the Korean woman did not say anything to me. I had to say hello to her. She still didn’t say anything to me. All she did was smile. She looked at the product, which didn’t have a price tag on it, and typed in $ 10.99 on the cash register. That didn’t look right to me, so I asked her to show me that product on the store shelf. I followed her over to the store shelves and she showed me a different product with the same brand name. That product was $ 6.99. It wasn’t even a leave-​in conditioner! When i showed her the actual product that I was going to purchase, it had the price tag of $ 5.49. This woman attempted to charge me $ 10.99 for a $ 5.49 product. When I told her that she was going to over charge me and asked her if it was because I’m Black, all she did was smile and constantly say she was sorry. She told me I could pay $ 5.49 for the product. I told her what she could do with the product;; something that I can’t type here.

Decent selection of clothing. Big selection of Dickies product. Medical scrubs in every color and size imaginable.

2 stars for the FRIENDLY owners:)
family owned, they are nice people.
I WAS REFERRED TO THIS PLACE BY MY HAIRSTYLIST.
SHE BUYS ALL HER HAIR HERE.
SHE SAYS HE GIVES HER A «HOOK-​UP» PRICE.
HE IS LIEING TO HER CAUSE THE ONLY HOOK UP HE GIVES HER IS «EXCHANGE OK» WHEREAS IF YOUR A REGULAR CUSTOMER ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
besides that. THE PRICES HERE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE!
I WASTED $ 132 ON 18″ REMI VELVET EXTENSIONS WHEN I PURCHASED THE SAME BUT IN 20″ AT TINA’S BEAUTY FOR $ 117
–SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH $ 132 WORTH OF STORE CREDIT !
— i hope my hairstylist can buy that from me!
THEIR DICKIES HERE ARE $ 25+ TAX!
AT WAL-​MART THEY ARE $ 19.99
THEIR GENERIC SOCK’S ARE $ 6– FOR 3 PAIRS.
BASICALLY WHAT I AM SAYING IS. THIS PLACE HAS PRICES OUT THE ROOF!
I SAY SHOP AROUND, DO SOME RESEARCH LIKE I DID, AND SAVE URSELF $ 30+. SERIOUSLY.
Ebay is a good place to start. that is where i found TINA’S beauty!
i drove there, and picked up my velvet remi. for cheap! :)

For a Dollar store-​ish place, the stuff can actually be pulled off.
It’s the place to get ghetto gear or accessories in every color to match each outfit of your rainbow wardrobe. Friendly Korean family run the joint. I was surprised at how huge the place is. This is where all the locals get their Dickies.
They carry clothes, clear bra straps, various wigs, cheap shades, hair accessories, hats, earrings, chapstick, etc. The plaza is old, but you don’t feel unsafe.
