I use a coupon for the items I think are overpriced. Check their website for online promos because you can order online and then pick up in the store. I did and got a much better deal. I had asked an employee about it and she said to find her when I was ready. I pulled all the merchandise myself to make it easier, checked out in front of her and it was done. She was so surprised that I brought up the items but I was in retail for decades, I know how it is. Also, *prices are often not the same on the site*! Have to admit that I didn't buy a few things because the prices were higher than in the store by about $3 and it pissed me off more than once. The employees work their butts off while still being helpful and friendly. On the bummer side is that stock is not kept up which is corporates fault. I'm not talking about during big sales because that would be impossible. Be advised that the structure now charges for parking. There is a machine right inside the entrance of Michael's to out in your license plate for free parking.

Last week I felt the need to do something creative but with low stakes, and decided to indulge in a…read moreme date of paint-it-yourself pottery. The Color Me Mine in Beverly Hills was open on a Monday, and so I trekked out here to indulge my inner child. My *very* first job was at a Color Me Mine in Valencia in 2000, and it delights me that the franchises still look very much like they did back in the day. This location is clean and mostly well-equipped (they didn't have squeeze bottles for writing), and it was easy and straightforward to get started. The staff were friendly and helpful. I chose a cereal bowl (believe me, though, I was very tempted by the more whimsical ceramic pieces, such as the cat jar and the, uh, "beakers" :P ), and while I didn't originally have a design in mind, I was inspired by the tile wall to paint an ocean theme. I spent a few very pleasant hours glazing my bowl. I added a small ceramic boat and asked the staff (writing it in the notes on my slip) to glue it in the middle of the bowl. It turned out SO cute. And I will absolutely toot my own horn with the excellent glaze work :) Hehe

The experience while painting was nice but they didn't allow us to use the liner bottles that we…read morehave used at other locations so we weren't able to work on a design we wanted to. Upon picking up all of our items, they told me there was no need to check them to make sure they were all there. It's a good thing I did because they missed an item. They said they would look in the back and the lady at the front was very kind and apologized but the manager was rude and said she looked but hardly spent 5 minutes looking for the item. She offered a refund if they couldn't find it but said "these things happen", taking no accountability.

My husband surprised me with rug tufting for my birthday! We had a great time and the finished…read moreproducts turned out well. Our medium rugs took around 4 hours as newbies and they were very kind with not rushing us. Pricing was fair when comparing the cost of tufting at other locations. We also were the only ones tufting so we had a pretty private space! Service was overall really great. Michael (?) and a woman with cool circle glasses checked in on us frequently and even helped review our progress multiple times. I had made some drag marks and holes in my rug and they helped patch it up when we picked them up However, I removed a star due to Sam. She helped us initially and gave clear instructions. But throughout her explanation she called my husband "babe" two times... Honestly I was shocked and even asked my husband if I heard her properly the first time - and I regret not addressing it then and there directly. Maybe it was a slip up, but I did not appreciate her calling my husband an affectionate pet name. Would strongly encourage her to refrain from that language and to keep all interactions professional for future patrons.

Dude, I'm not staring at pens like a Van Gogh. I want to buy something. Then you ask a question and get a curt, unhelpful answer. After finally getting the markers, I went to grab a canvas and was told the markers would be taken up front for me. Maybe that's store policy, but the way it was handled made me feel like I was being treated as though I might steal them rather than like a customer who had just waited 15 minutes to buy them. Then the same employee who took 15 minutes to help me asked me to move out of the aisle because he'd decided that was the moment to move a large item through it. And finally, at checkout: "Hope your project goes well." Project. I'm not a student. I'm an artist buying art supplies. Maybe nothing was meant by it, but by that point it was a fitting end to the experience. Just generally a meh visit and another example of customer service being lackluster. I don't need anyone to roll out a red carpet -- I'd just like to feel like a customer rather than an inconvenience.

Staff did not acknowledge me walking in or continuing to stand there waiting for several minutes. He finally decided to glance my way asking if I needed help (obviously) & called over a girl to assist. When I let her know I'm looking to drop in & I have prior experience she tells me "oh we're more of a beginners class or membership kind of studio so we don't really have anything for you..." Another women mentions they have a class offering but realizes it was the wrong date. I glance around at the completely empty studio & then she says "The only other thing is I have a class I'm teaching in...7 minutes & it's completely empty so you could attend that & just do what you want..." Why would you not lead with that? She tells me it'll be $110. I pass because I'm not paying an exorbitant price if this is the service I can expect from them. "Sorry we didn't have something for you." Sounded like you had something perfect for me but didn't want me to stay, so what on Earth do you mean?

We made eye contact so it's not as though she didn't see me or hear the bell ring. I came here in lieu of going to my normal wholesaler because I felt it would be good to support a smaller business.
