Phil's Demo
Dean W.

My group and I had an AMAZING time last Friday at Mayu Silk Art !!! I have to admit, when I first saw an art workshop on my team's agenda for Friday morning, I wasn't exactly the most enthusiastic. All that changed when I first set foot into the roomy warehouse, near the outskirts of Huntington Beach. I was warmly greeted by Star - one of the co-owners of this shop, along with her husband, Phil. They, along with Linda - played great hosts to my team as we dazzled and discovered our hidden artistic abilities (none that's really needed for this) the morning away. While there are a number of beautiful patterns of scarves that line the wall here - Star and Phil are upfront and cast away any self-doubt you might have about needing any bit of artistic talent. You don't actually need to be an artist yourself - as all three hosts PATIENTLY guide you through creating your very own water-marbled silk art. Phil's whimsically thorough demo started us off - and off we went! Star - ever so patient - guided me with her friendly expertise - as I initially wanted my scarf to look like one of the scarves on display - but then quickly changed my mind once the paint colors settled in - and I went for something more reflective of my mood. The end result was breathtakingly awesome. It really is wonderful to see from start to finish - how you can make your own silk art in this studio. My teammates were equally thrilled and marveled by their own creations. While my group had a private time for our workshop time - Star mentioned that they are happy to accommodate smaller groups to larger events - just call ahead to inquire. They've also setup at corporate events, Universities, traveled across the states (they've been featured in many different news programs). Pricing starts around $43, depending on the length/quality of your "canvas". Parking is relatively easy - especially since we came on a Friday morning - plenty of spots upfront and in the back. Overall, I had a wonderful time - totally appreciate Star's patience as she guided me through the creation of my very own, water-marbled silk scarf.

I treated my two besties to a unique, amazing and fun birthday experience today at Mayu Silk Art. For the owners, Star and Phillip, teaching silk art dyeing and marbling is clearly a labor of love. The process is both simple and intense, but with incredible patience and good humor, they shepherded us the whole way, so that we could each create the scarf that we wanted in a relatively short period of time. My two friends made truly beautiful and very different scarves, and although I think Star and Phillip kind of wondered why I wanted just a black and white scarf, Star helped me make one that I really like! My two friends raved about their experience, and we plan to get together soon, wearing our wonderful works of art! Thank you, Star and Phillip!

My family, and I went for my relatives birthday . We had a great time, they are such a vibe, genuinely good people. Everything was explained concisely with a bit of humor in my case. I was late to the demonstration and went first I was nervous but all turned our well.

This was such a fun experience! We had a group of friends do this and we had the space to ourselves with the instructors of course! They were very helpful and explained everything we needed to know. I didn't think mine would come out very good but it came out beautifully! I went in wanting one design and came out with a complete opposite of what I had imagined. By doing your own group you are allowed to bring in food and drinks as well! We never at any point felt rushed or pressured to work faster. The paint colors and ideas are so broad you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. The price per scarf was only $49 which isn't bad for the experience and fun you'll have making and designing it yourself!

Went to visit Cali and wanted to experience something different. We had an amazing time. The instructors were very patient, polite, and provided a 10/10 experience. We were able to create something amazing to take home.

Soo many color options!! I used at least 15

As seen on TV: La Unscripted and Kcal news. Mayu Silk Art is a gem nestled in a commercial building area. From the outside, you would never know what magic lies within. Phil and Star are amazing. Mayu silk has been in buisness exactly 10 years to the day when we visited. We came here for a friend and artists birthday. I really Enjoyed learning from Star and Phil all the techniques and options of what possible things could be made. Our crew ended up creating beautiful unique designs. Each one of us designed amazing silk scarves, and interestingly we had our colors similar in common. Honestly, i thought mine would suck because I don't consider myself artistic. I have given myself grace, and realized i am creative and can create beauty if I allow myself the space to ignore the negative self talk and just go with the flow. Thank you Star for giving me the space and patience to guide me in creating my pattern/ design. Tonight was memorable and very healing after the recent events that I have been dealing with personally. Thank you! I am coming back for my bday and this time, making a sarong. 10/10 highly recommend! Tip: yelp check in spend $100 and you get a choice of a free scarf, handkerchief, etc. Tip 2: call ahead and make an appt. Tip 3: Mayu Silk Art has a reputation for doing many corporate events notably at the Ritz Carlton, Monarch Beach Hotel, and private events hosting to international clients who travel from all over the world to learn the techniques to create amazing art. Whether you are solo, a group of 3, or larger corporate event; everyone should experience this at least once! You will thank me later!

I was signed up for the Silk Scarf Water Marbling class by Renaissance Club and I had so much fun. There were 7 of us signed up at the same time but only three water stations so initially I was wondering if we were going to be there all day, but really once you get going it's pretty fast for each person, approximately 20 min max because you don't want the paint to dry too much before adding the silk. It is amazing watching everyone's creativity come to life and how many different ideas everyone has. What I must say for anyone who will do this, Trust the Process. I am not artistic but I knew which colors I wanted to work with and I knew I wanted my scarf to be darker with a black background not a white background. Halfway through I could not even in my mind's eye foresee how it would look and I thought it wasn't going to come out pretty. I really wanted the hearts trail that you can see in my photo, but while I was creating them I thought I had messed up big time with the colors and the size. But in the end, look how beautiful it came out! The staff guide you through every step of the process from beginning to end so you really can't mess up, but they let you choose everything along the way. There were people of all ages including children there from a different group creating scarves and it was just beautiful to watch everyone. What is really one of the best things is that the owners truly LOVE the trade, Phil is just gushing about the history of how they opened Mayu Silk and how many events they have hosted. I also loved that at the end we were given instructions to take home with us so we won't forget the after care of our scarf to help seal in the ink to prevent fading. I truly enjoyed this class and would love to come back and make another scarf again in the future!

What an awesome experience. Star and Phillip are amazing to work with and ask you through the process. Once you let go and have fun, your scarf turns out amazing! So many colors to choose from and a billion ways for you to make yourself a unique scarf! It was the perfect place for a birthday celebration. Such a fun time!! Definitely planning to do it again!

The service was spectacular! You have so much freedom and reign. They even tell you got to throw out any ideas you may bring with by you and just create! Really worth every penny. This experience is something you can have for a lifetime! The instructors were very funny, sweet and helpful. The selection is great considering they even give you handpicked items to put your design on ( not sure if it's a secret) at the very end.

Savonnah had a muse revelation

TURNING 81 WAS ... FUN.... and I got a scarf to boot‼‼ I was low and feeling all glum Soon I was turning eighty-one Cause I thought I'd be at home Just lil ole' me, feeling all alone Oh, a craft in Huntington Beach I though Lisa & Savonn I'd reach And see if we three wanted to do A beautiful silk scarf creation at Mayu We had such fun planning our design I wanted to use my fave colors in mine Mi hija and nieta discussed their plan Make it BEAUTIFUL, we know we can Bottles held high, don't squeeze, just a lil drop The paint can't sink, must float... stay on top Forging ahead with our fave colors & design With our finished scarf dancing in our mind Keeping the silk on top and really taut Laying on water, LOOK what we've wrought All different, all colors with each design I love my scarf and it's one of a kind‼ Sheri 4/30/2025

Never expected to have this so much fun! It's out 1st doing this kind of activity. We had a great experience on Vday weekend. Star and the other staff was so helpful and made our experience soooo memorable. They brought out my husband's "wild child" within him and he loved it! LMAO. Definitely will highly recommend! Its affordable too (of course, it depends what you plan to do). Heads up, make sure wear something that can get dirty just incase.

I have been here twice in a week! My friend and I came here on Saturday and made beautiful scarves! I loved it so much I came back with my Sister, Aunt and Mom, the second time didn't disappoint! Star, Rita and Phil, were amazing! They explained everything, and made us feel like family! If you are reading this...do yourself a favor, and book it you won't be sorry! We are already talking about when we will go back!

My nieces art.. so perrrrrrtyyyy!!!

I had such a wonderful experience working with The Simple Luxe for my son's first birthday party…read morethat was farmers market themed! From start to finish they were incredibly easy to communicate with- responsive, attentive, and truly listened to what I wanted. Lisa and her team brought my vision to life, and it was even better than I imagined. What really stood out was their willingness to work within our budget without compromising on quality or creativity. They not only designed and set up all the balloons, backdrops, installations but they also spent extra time helping me decorate and design the farmers market with the custom gifts I made and/or purchased for my guests. The entire process felt stress-free and enjoyable. Everything turned out beautifully and we received so many compliments. I am truly honored to be The Simple Luxe's first farmers market themed client and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and kind vendor who goes above and beyond. If you have been following them on social media like I was and have an upcoming event - reach out to them and get a quote! You will not be disappointed!

We also wanted to include our late dog in the design, and she incorporated him so beautifully. Seeing the attention to detail in their previous work is what convinced us to move forward, and all of our guests were blown away by how everything turned out. Jasmine was also a pleasure to work with. She was very communicative, easy to talk to, and made the entire process stress-free from start to finish. She really listened to our ideas, gave us time to make decisions, and helped us stay within our budget. Huge thanks to the setup and cleanup team as well. They were punctual and respectful of the time we had the venue booked. My wife and I would definitely recommend The Simple Luxe to anyone (if it's within your budget). Their hard work and dedication to their clients truly shows in their work.

They were ok for most of the party, then without any communication just kicked the kids out of the play area to spend 20 minutes cutting cake. There was no warning like hey party's winding down, just cutting cake. Once they served the cake they told us we had to leave. Play wise, it was the same My Gym set up. Their circle time activity wasn't exciting to the kids because they just wanted to play. The bubbles were ok but in my mind, they did it too early instead of a big finish which would've felt a lot better as a transition that the party was over. They did offer socks with grips, though, so that was a plus. I don't think I'd return to this location when the staff at the Newport location was so much nicer.

We are proud to recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an event planner. Ann excels at all aspects of event planning--she is extremely timely and thorough in her emails, attentive during meetings, and detail-oriented in the construction of her internal resources. She checked in with me and my brother several times throughout the planning process, taking care to ensure that she was on the same wavelength as us. During the week of the event, she took charge authoritatively, demonstrating exceptional time-management and organizational skill. She personally contacted every vendor herself to streamline delivery of their goods or services, and answered all of the questions that my brother and I had. And during the event itself, she was absolutely stellar. We didn't want to worry about any logistics, and Ann made sure to run the event smoothly and independently. She has a specific penchant for directing guests with a perfect mix of kindness and assertiveness, which is exactly the skillset needed for someone in her line of work. Her team members were also very professional and attentive; when the venue's staff failed us, Ann's own team members consistently picked up slack, and made sure my brother and I were without concern. Overall, I am proud to give Ann my strongest endorsement. It was my privilege to have worked with her, and I am looking forward to doing so again!

Ann was there as soon as my hair and makeup were finished and paid attention to every little detail.

Our wedding happened to be during the World Cup, and since we're both Norwegian-Vietnamese, we wanted to make our grand entrance wearing our Norway jerseys. Ann fully embraced our vision and even brought small Norwegian flags and Norwegian flag garlands for our wedding party. It made for such an epic and memorable entrance, and we loved it! Ann is kind, professional, and incredibly attentive. We felt so calm and stress-free knowing she was there taking care of everything, allowing us to truly enjoy our wedding day. Our friends and family absolutely loved her and her team as well. They kept telling us how amazing she was and how she always had a smile on her face throughout the entire day.
