They consistently had great materials, beautiful sheets of paper, and amazing staff. Friendly service, clean and well organized store, and a real community staple. It was always nice to see consistent faces and I was treated with excellent service with every visit. I loved the manager and hope the company was able to retain her. She's extremely competent at her role and it would be a shame for it not to be recognized! Wishing the employees all the best.

DiamondCore has some of the best pottery/ceramic tools in the business, and what a treat it is to…read morevisit the store in-person! I know potters, whether professionals or hobbyists, who swear by their products from across the world, so when I found out they had a store in San Diego... well, I had to stop by. First of all, the store itself has limited hours. They mostly run their business online, so make sure you check their hours before visiting. They are well-stocked with most of their items, and though there was only one employee, he was so patient with all my questions and willing to check the backstock for any items I wanted to take a look at! There are sample tools and swatches of every item they have, from their famous carving/trimming tools, handle extruders, glaze swatches, and even samples of bisque/finished pieces that have been sanded with their diamond sanding products. They also sell a healthy selection of Aardvark clays (both cone 5 and cone 10 varieties) and offer a discount if you buy more than 50 lbs. I bought 50lbs of clay, a couple of carving tools, and a variety of sanding pads. I wanted to get a set of their diamond sanding discs as well, but they were completely sold out after the holidays. I think I'll be buying those online, but it's really nice to be able to see everything in person before purchasing!

If this would be something you're interested in, please let me know! xx Reese

In 2025, shelves were cleared out and there were broken items or Christmas trees up for grabs. Well, I now have a second tree lol! I could not pass up this deal!!! A $600 tree for $150?!? I was super excited because it looks real and is beautiful. I'm so excited to decorate at the end of the year. I was impressed by the girl at checkout. She wasn't flustered by the crowds. The tree I was waiting to get packed for me ended up being packed and sold to someone else due to poor communication. She immediately made sure I knew what else was available and any additional discounts she could ask about on my behalf. Loved that! They were putting out Valentine's day and St. Patty's day stuff in December. I thought this is crazy but I will definitely be there next week for the Valentine sales. I love all the coupons weekly and the variety of crafts. You can't go wrong at HL.

I turn my head, and see a worker (Mila) with a merchandise cart, and I say, "I'm sorry. Can you say excuse me?" She then repeats, "you need to move". I ask for the store manager (Aaron), and he comes towards me asking what happened. Mila then lies, saying she never told me to move, and he proceeds to tell at ME when I correct her. He says, "you both need to go and seperate!" As he's yelling at me in front of the whole store, he turns to Mila with a kind tone, telling her it's okay, as if this encounter is my fault. Me, a CUSTOMER, needs to go away because HIS employee doesn't know manners. I have never felt so verbally attacked in a store. I didn't receive a single apology, only constant reminders that "it's my fault, and not his". Absolutely disrespectful. I shopped here SO often, but will never go back to this specific store. I cannot fathom how Aaron is the store manager. He was unkind, unprofessional, and unapologetic. I value other stores, and their priority to welcome customers. But I cannot and will not respect someone so dismissive, without any care of the situation.

We came in with a an old framed photo that we needed to change out the plaque that was on it. The previous framer, from many years ago, taped and glued everything together. We thought we could make the change ourselves, but the previous framer made it like Fort Knox and we couldn't really take it apart without destroying parts of it. We were also in a time crunch for this, so Corey was great about going over our various options with us and letting us know what he thought was salvageable from the original framing job. He was personable and easy to work with. We were able to come up with a plan, and he let us know it would be ready the next day, which was way better than we hoped for. All in all, a great framing experience. The price was also very reasonable, which was great because I work for a non-profit.
