I love Michael's…read more But unfortunately, I don't even bother with the only one thats close to me due to the employee's that work that store.... They are ridiculous with profiling people!! They think everybody is in there to steal so they'll either blatantly follow you around or take the more low-key approach and you'll notice they just so happen to start stocking shelves in the same aisle you're browsing in. They also like to do this thing where they announce over the P.A. system "Long Beach P.D. - Line One" to make you think they have called the police on you to get people out of the store!

I truly do not have enough words to describe how unbelievably awful our experience has been with…read morethe custom framing department at Michael's. Specifically, with Kristen. My sweet, very patient mother has now had to make FOUR separate trips to fix a painting they originally damaged and incorrectly framed. Each time, instead of taking accountability or offering even the most basic apology, Kristen somehow found multiple different things to blame -- none of them being the store. We dropped the piece off for the FINAL time in December. December. We never received a call. Not once. After multiple attempts to reach the store by phone (which went unanswered or unreturned), we finally had to physically go today (in February) to see if the artwork was complete. And instead of even a simple, "We're so sorry for the inconvenience," we were met with callous, passive-aggressive energy and the most aggressively condescending tone I have ever encountered in a retail setting. No ownership. No apology. No professionalism. Just attitude. Shame on you, Kristen! I have genuinely never dealt with someone so unhelpful and unprofessional in all my years at any store anywhere. It was shocking. We will absolutely never bring another piece here again as long as she is employed. There are too many businesses that value their customers to waste time being treated like an inconvenience for expecting basic competence and courtesy. Save yourself the stress and take your artwork elsewhere.

For a place that claims to have Christian values, their customer service is not great. I have…read moreexperienced from more than one employee when I tried asking a question, they would say to just look in this area or that they were busy. There is a cashier who I have experienced more than once who has been rude. She knows I come there a lot and she makes it seem I'm stealing a card because I forgot my pin one time. The store is okay. It's getting a bit pricey but still affordable.

Soooooo where else do you go to get a picture matted and framed anymore???? My friend recommended…read moreit, and I was hesitant...but didn't know where else to go...so I thought I'd check it out. I took my mom here to get a painting reframed and matted. We met Bob in the custom framing department in the back of the store (towards the right). Super friendly and chatty guy who has an eye and a passion for his work. The process was like nothing I had expected. You put your art on the counter and they take a picture from an overhead camera. Bob then mocks up your art with a Matt and frame that shows your finished piece on a monitor. We tried several different Matt colors, frames, and even adjusted the size of the Matt a couple times. Fast forward a couple weeks-met up with Bob and picked up our beautiful framed art! It was a reasonable price for the hands on help. We will be back to do more framing as this was a test run.

Missing Joan Fabrics? This is your place!…read more My partner wanted to pick up some fabric and thread. Almost all of the stores have faded away in favor of Amazon/ online. To me this was a memory of being out with my mom in the old days before Bezos. All sorts of little party favors and decorations. We walked out with thread, cloth and Mardi Gras decorations. Great service and I don't think the prices were too bad. All that was missing was mothball smells.

They offer different art classes as well which I believe they hold in one of the stores walking distance from them. They have a list of their upcoming classes and events posted on the board next to the entrance. All their workers are friendly and helpful to any questions you might have. For the quality of the supplies, it's a great price.

He seemed extremely passionate in what he does! Giving a low rating just because of our experience with front desk staff. We come in super cordial just to be met with stank attitudes. A few weeks after our session, we called the place to follow up on our pieces and the woman on the phone sounded rude about us asking about it. We went to pick up our pieces recently and the woman at the front desk definitely sounded like the one we talked to on the phone, same voice and same unwelcoming attitude. As if our presence ruined her day or us picking up our pieces was such a drastic request for her to do.

You would think with Hobby Lobby across the parking lot they would try to keep the customers they…read morehave! I have been a Michaels customer for over 30 years and I have never felt so unappreciated!! Your WIFI which I was on while I was in your store would not let me sign into your app. I know my password works bc I was just on it earlier in the day. When I went to check out however I had been unable to sign in again. Your sales reps solution was to void my sale and have me stand outside in the rain to try gain access to the internet! I COULD SEE YOUR MICHAELS WIFI ON MY PHONE! Your sales rep didn't want me holding up her line any longer!!! She would not allow me to use any of your coupons unless I was signed in!!

They always have good clearance items most are half off prices. Especially on holiday items. Best to get them on sale for the following year. I had bought two overlapped trays for long car rides when we go on family trips. Great for them to draw on, eat or snack on, and play games. Price was $5 each which isn't bad compared to online. Kept searching for them for a while and then found them at Michael's. I was super thrilled! Sign up for their rewards program and received $5 off for your next purchase. Therefore, I had utilized the coupon for the trays and got one for free. Amazing deal! It definitely made my day!

They allow any amount of color paint to you need and offer a glossy or glitter sealant for your painted ceramic. Allow at least an hour of paint time for smaller pieces and more than that if your artists are more detailed oriented or indecisive. We easily spent 1.5 hrs painting once we selected our ceramic, which took at least 25 minutes itself. I would like to come back with my husband for a date night.

Arrived 10 mins early and she was willing to start my session. Class is only 4 people total at a time. MUST call far in advance for BSG - Beginning Stained Glass class. Val explained step by step and showed demonstration when needed. A bit pricey but lots of tools needed. For 2 people it was $170, so $85 pp. I would be interested to take ASG = Advanced Stained Glass class in a future date. Bring something to drink, snacks and dress comfortable. I do wish there were more templates to choose from and more glass colors to choose from. Parking lot isn't an issue.

Lastly I was surprised by how affordable a class with all the materials provided was. We started out with a simpler project but want to keep progressing and get better and we won't break the bank doing so! We can't wait to go back and I can't wait for you, the reader, to get in there and create something beautiful! Thank you, Val, for everything!

The staff is always great here!

Before the cashiers were very friendly and knowledgeable but these days I find an error on every single purchase. I have to pay attention to make sure each item is charged correctly because if they finish the transaction, Jesus be with you, it will be a test of patience trying to get it corrected. I go here less and less and it's a shame because honestly it's very well stocked. The amount of items and selection is amazing but I can't wander around looking for inspiration since some employees are unfriendly and unhelpful if you can't find an item The selection and volume of stuff is amazing (yes I am repeating myself) They have home goods, frames, fabric, wood craft, baking, Cricut, blanks, paper notions, stickers, paint, seasonal everything, kids crafts kits, toys, party supplies, yarn craft, jewelry making, scrapbook, paints, floral. Pinewood derby supplies. I mean there's no end to what you can find here. I once found a Minecraft hamper for $5 on clearance. I got backpack hooks for $2. Old fashion lemon drops. Sometimes you have to suffer for what you want. In closing, expect poor customer service and make sure you pay attention to what you're being charged and bring your wallet there's NO APPLE OR GOOGLE OR SAMSUNG PAY
