I just got into ink painting. After looking up where to buy supplies, I found out that one of the…read moreonline sellers was actually within driving distance, so I dropped by to check it out I had such a great time browsing. Andrea was super helpful and patient in answering all the questions I had as a complete newbie and recommending necessary supplies. There was no upselling or hints that I'd be better off buying the premium sets as a beginner, which I appreciated. She actually recommended a much more affordable beginning basics set when I told her I was new to all this. I felt free to browse around all the beautiful supplies and ended up buying everything I needed to get started. It was a pleasure going to the physical store - there's no replacement for the tactile feel of touching papers and brushes - and I hope to stop by again soon!

The prices are pretty fair, with specialty items from Japan literally all over the store. There is so much to look at! I recently came to get a new journal, and I was thoroughly surprised by the selection. The service is super nice, as they always help out and package everything nicely. Overall, Mai Do is a great option for cute and fun Japanese things!

I've been coming here for years to buy gifts for all occasions…read more However, They dont care about customer service in any capacity. They Wouldn't accept my return on an unused, brand new with tags item because I didnt have my receipt. I understand my responsibility to have a proof of purchase. However to not even have an exchange or store credit offered when clearly the item still had their original price tags on it is absurd. They could have issued me store credit, charged a restocking fee, and they would still have us as customers. Store credit would not only guarantee a return customer, but it would also show ' good faith ' and appreciation to their customers. We wont be returning. And im sure thats exactly what they wanted given how they treat people.

Also Simon Says Stamp is super for shipping alcohol markers like Copic.

Once I arrived home one half of my whole lamination had a scratch right on the middle of the whole roll. Thats 50ft in the trash and the funny thing is that they charged me for this. Another time I got a new Roland vinyl sticker roll as matte. I was working on my project and was ready to use the material when I realized it was labeled wrong and it was gloss instead of being matte and full if fingerprints everywhere. It was 9pm when I noticed. I can keep going, avoid this location at all costs unless u really need to. Some workers there don't have any pride on their work or hate their job. Go to the location in downtown LA. Great service even tho is way more busy but atleast u know u will get what u bought and take pride in their work.

Michaels can be a hit or miss, but oh boy, I love when it hits…read more I recently stopped by to stock up on event essentials and some crafting supplies. Their Black Friday deals for holiday gear is the absolute best. Festive items are severely discounted, making it the best time of the year to shop for garland and ornaments. Grandma hobbies are also currently trending and Michaels has become our dealer. I've noticed that I'm picking up supplies/a new craft every weekend. Between clay building, hand stitching, sewing materials, it's so great to have a nearby one-stop-shop for all your artsy needs. Pro tip: search coupons in advance. They almost always have a coupon listed online for in-store purchases. Can't wait to check out their new location on Adams!

I frequent this Michaels many times a year, but recently since Party City has shut down and…read moreMichael's is now doing balloons, I decided to come here the morning of my son's 1st bday party to get some balloons. We came around 11am 12/21 and there was no line. There were self checkouts and multiple people behind the counter. I walked up and asked for balloons, and was met with a very busy employee who told me I needed to wait in line. So I went back, but as people started lining up behind me, I had to repeatedly tell them to go ahead because I was waiting for balloons (specifically one counter/person). I was fed up with that, so I just walked all the way up and stood back. No one helped. The person waiting for balloons to be blown up had been standing there and the Michaels employee blowing up her balloons was doing one balloon, then walking away to help find an item, or help with the pick up orders, then coming back to blow up a single balloon, then rushing away again! In total, she finally bundled up the balloons (a total of 6) and went on her way. That was 20 minutes. Finally, my turn, the balloon lady leaves, and another comes and helps me. Another 1 hour and 10 minutes later, I leave with my 12 balloons. I can't believe how slow the service here is where 90% of customers are doing self checkout. WHAT?! Insanity. It's Christmas time, but the works are slow paced, with no urgency to keep up. Anyways, fast forward to rushing to get back to set up for my son's party... we have the party and by night time, the helium balloons are dragging on the floor, 15 hours later. So in summary, if you want balloons, you have to come the day of, probably wait a couple hours and then by the end of the day, your balloons will have fallen.

Not only is this a hometown spot and part of my "formative" experience growing up in OC, but Avenue…read moreitself is an institution in the Southern California streetwear community! Over the last decade, streetwear has really come into its own- building up from brands like LRG, Obey, and Stussy into The Hundreds, Triumvir, and countless others. Avenue's been through all of that, and the minute you walk in, you get a feeling that these guys really ain't no joke. The folks at Avenue live the lifestyle and believe in the art- because of that, the stuff they carry is always fresh and legit. I remember stumbling into Avenue back in high school, trying to find a place to quench my LRG fix. The main man behind the register, Arthur, not only helped me with what I was looking for, but really took the time out to explain the finer points of streetwear. Every time I stop by, he's always there doing his thing, and mindful of stuff I'd be interested in that's already out or coming out soon. It's places like Avenue that really show what OC is all about- not all that pretentiousness you see on Laguna Beach. Avenue represents this drive for a changing culture that I wish more people could appreciate and acknowledge for what it's worth.

Do not trust this store with your precious art. I had a large piece custom framed - the project was…read morearound $2k. When I picked it up, the art was completely detached from the frame. When they "fixed" the issue (without telling me what this would entail), the back of my $2k custom frame was covered in glue very hastily. I feel completely ripped off that I paid that price for a frame that is now broken apart / glued together. Because of the negative space around the print, the glue is visible from the front. It looks awful. Ava (who framed this) was so rude and only wanted to gossip with her teammates in the back rather than lift a finger. I couldn't get anyone to answer the phone and was always brushed off when I asked for additional help. This was a terrible experience, take your framing business to people who will care.

This place is always full of cool learning and STEM type toys and tools, a teachers dream, as well as anyone who works a lot with children.

You can't beat that. :)

We were immediately asked if we needed help when we walked in and my wife actually had something in mind, which he quickly found. We would have been out the door in less than 2 minutes but we decided to look around to see what else they had on the shelves for future consideration. Lots of educational games, puzzles, and books for all ages can be found in this neatly organized store. It's a "must visit" for any teacher as there is a bounty of classroom supplies. This is a great store to find fun toys and games that have a learning element to them.
