Went in Sunday morning for some watercolor paper and brushes. Three people were working but no one was working a cash register. I found a self check out that had the accepts cash sign. I typed in all my info, scanned the products but nothing was happening. I annoyed a blond female who clealy had better things to do then help a mom. I asked her why the register wasnt working and she looked at me and said, "Well, obviously it is broken." I was so shocked. I have been a teacher all my life and I have never treated a person that way. I will never ho back to Michaels. I will stick to Reprographs for my art supplies . Herman is always friendly and has great prices. Too bad he wasn't open. It didn't get better ar Michaels. She kept snickering while ringing up two items. I hope she finds a place to work that doesn't involve people read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Service here is great and also love all the coupons that I get with being a rewards member! I wish they would accept opened returns because sometimes you don't know if a product is what you need until you open it but oh well, no business can be perfect. No fault of anyone in the store. read more

Great selection of crafting materials, at decent prices. Plus, you can go online and get the monthly 30% off (one-item) coupon to help with the savings. They also have framing services in the back, which I've never used, but I've heard good things. We've also taken our kids here for the various in-store events, most of which are free. I think a few of them have a little charge for materials, but it's relatively low, like under $5. The staff here have been kind and I would highly recommend. read more

Michaels is a really great store. I visited my friend from this area, and I did not lose the chance of also visiting this location of Michael's, which is near the home of my friend. I really allotted a lot of time for this store just so I could explore it and find anything that would be really useful. The location is nice because it is near the place I visited, so it was easy for me to go there. Their parking was also convenient because there was a wide parking lot. The store looked clean from the outside, and it was even cleaner on the inside. It is a big store, but it kind of looks smaller considering the spaces on every aisle because there are so many shelves with a variety of different items. I really like the items they have. It is not only about art materials. They also have home décor, some furniture, and other usable products. Speaking of art, any kind of art material is available with a variety of selections, sizes, and even designs. I did not focus much on that selection because I allotted much of my time to their home décor section, where I found a lot of interesting and lovely items. The quality is good, as are the prices. The prices here are fair and reasonable, and most importantly, there are also some that are on sale for like 10 to 50% off, which was really amazing. Customer service is great too. The staff are friendly and the checkout is fast. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Easter is near, and my family and I are getting ready by buying the things that we needed and also wanting to buy other things that may add to what we can do for the supposed holiday. We went to this store to buy everything, and we did not regret going here because the store had a great and unique selection of things that we wanted. We also saw other unique and cool stuff, particularly those arts and crafts materials that we could really use. It was probably my first time in the store, and generally speaking, I like the store. It is clean and spacious. Other than the fact that it has a great selection of art materials, decors, and other sundries, it also has great customer service. The employees in the store were all friendly and helpful to us. Additionally, we like all the stuff that we bought. Everything is so nice, as are their prices. read more

See all

The bead selection is absolutely beautiful,I adore all the types of beads the store is well kept too! The workers are very nice.

I'll update this with a better, longer review later, but I wanted to give a shout out to the crew at Algonquin's Michaels. I've hit up this store a few times now for art supplies to keep myself occupied while waiting for work to start up again. While the staff members at Michaels have every right to be focusing on other things than customer service, I've found that everyone I connected with at the store was in good spirits, very friendly and helpful. Thanks for all your help! read more

This is a great Michael's store! I stop in on occasion - mostly for seasonal items such as wreaths and decorations. The prices are okay. They are typically overpriced and then put the items on sale, and sale items are never coupon eligible. In comparison to other Michael stores though, I find that their floral arrangements and wreaths look much better. I also always get my supplies for cake pops here - the sticks, candy melts and baggies. read more

You are SO LUCKY to have Brenda! She just helped me so much at the store with multiple things I needed crossed off my list. I was feeling a bit frazzled and masks are distracting but Brenda is a problem solver and so friendly. You can trust that her outstanding customer service is getting the job done. I know I told you thank you 20x at the store but thank you so much for all your help today. The cashiers were all friendly. read more

I ordered a tree collar last week online to be picked up in store, when I got there, they said they didn't have it, worst customer service ever! Still haven't refunded my account yet!! read more

Michael's can be so cool! This particular location has a wide variety of options for almost everything. Their sales are great! The staff is very helpful and recently taught me something new. I can use my mobile app coupons and actually use more than one. Our cashier literally scanned them all and the savings really added up at the end. No need to guess which ones might work - they can scan them all very quickly to find out. The clearance areas could use some organizational work, but other than that, I really liked this store. read more

Called the police because I kept pulling my mask below my nose!

If you have a crafting hobby of any type - I'd be shocked if they didn't have what you needed here at Michaels! I don't do much on the hobby side of things here but rather we have used (many times now) their framing services. We are very pleased with the work that they do for the prices that they charge. (Especially if you wait for their frequent sales.) Over the years we have brought more than a half a dozen prints to be framed and between helping us select just the right frame and matting, to getting the job done right the first time and to get the work done quickly is just a bonus. They usually do not take more than a couple days to get the jobs completed. read more

Michaels is your typical crafty store to fulfill your scrapbooking, stamping, flower arranging, painting, crafting needs, just so long as those needs don't include sewing. I wouldn't say that they've got a better selection than any other area craft store (think Hobby Lobby and/or JoAnns), but their selection is diversified enough that it keeps me browsing at the very least. My biggest tip would be to never enter this store without first printing out their latest coupon online or clipping it from the circular. That 40% coupon is like gold, especially since craft supplies can get pretty darn costly. What I will say is that their staff is super friendly, and they usually go out of their way to help answer questions that I might have and/or help me locate craft supplies that I might need, even if that includes calling other locations to see if they have what I'm looking for in stock. I really do appreciate when people are willing to help me do a little searching instead of automatically telling me that they don't have it. If you've got an afternoon to kill and you find that the craft bug has bitten, Michaels is a great place to indulge your creativity. Who knows, you might even discover a new hobby to pick up. read more

Nice selection and clean store but it took me 30 min to check out. Wish they would bring up another cashier when the line is so long.

Stopped in last night to pick up a few things. The checkout line had 2-3 people ahead of me, but the one cashier, Sam, did a great job keeping the line moving. When it was our turn Sam was very polite, friendly and super efficient at the entire check out process! (even with coupons!) She is a GREAT asset to the store, and is very good at her job. read more

my favorite store to go to but make sure you budget 15 extra minutes to wait in line because they only ever have one cashier

The framing department is very good - a young woman Valerie put together my custom order and it came out beautiful.

We went looking to matt and frame a picture. An employee named Ruth in the framing section explained options and also came up with a thrifty solution to our project read more
