Do not come here. Manager and staff are rude. I walked in and had to get passport photos taken. I…read moresaid "excuse me" 12 times before I got a response. The Manager said "Get a number." So I did. I walked out of the store for a minute to make sure there were no other photo places around. I walk back in. No one is using a number card they still didn't want to serve me. Finally, 15 minutes later. (Note: Time in store is 30 minutes.) They take my photo. Only to find out that it'll take 45 minutes to print. They took my money, gave me a receipt. I asked if there was any way to expedite, they said yes but wouldn't do it. Manager and staff are all rude and have no people skills. I suggest the owner fire all staff and the manager - and hire more accountable people. Stay away from this place. Staff will not even look at you when you ask to use their service. They'll make you wait for 30 minutes before serving you even when no one is around.

Deovir is an artist's heaven…read more This could actually be my only statement and it would pretty much sum up Deovir. They have so many items available for use of artists which cannot be found in bookstores. Being the premiere art supply store, they have a wide range of products, from brushes, paints, paper, pencils, etcetera. This goes for even supporting materials such as thinners, binding mediums, and other art-related needs. Being not so familiar with and not comfortable in exploring painting mediums, I recently called them to ask for advice as to what I can use for an upcoming project. I needed to use a paint that would adhere well to textile, will be permanent despite washing, but needs to likewise have the correct consistency for brush calligraphy. With a short discussion of my options, I knew what I needed and even had my orders prepared already for payment and pick-up. Indeed, it pays to go to a specialized shop for, well, special art needs.

For me, a trip to Deovir is always entertaining. I've been known to stay for more than an hour…read moreinside the small space, just browsing through different art and craft materials without a specific agenda in mind and thinking about the creative possibilities. There are canvasses of all sizes ready to be spread with acrylics, oils, watercolors, pastels, etc. There are reasonably-priced, artist grade brushes. There are craft foams, polymer clays, charcoals, and a lot more. If there is something that I need for a craft or a project, I immediately look for it in Deovir. And I get a sinking feeling if I cannot find it in their shelves, because that means that I am unlikely to find it anywhere else locally. The staff are very helpful, and they know what they are talking about. There was this time when I was assembling a painting kit as a gift, and a friendly salesperson gladly discussed the comparative pros and cons of acrylic and oil, and why the former might be better suited for a novice than the latter. Seriously, I look for excuses to visit this store even though I know that it's not good for my wallet. They also have an online shop but sadly, the online inventory is very limited.
