Michaels has just about everything you need for everything artsy, crafty, celebration, school project, seasonal, picture frames. While it's sometimes hard to find anybody in the aisles to help you, if you go up to the front, they will surely stop what they are doing and help you. If you go to the picture framing, I have found them to be incredibly helpful. Most of the times the prices are reasonable and at least equivalent to most other craft and school supply store. Sometimes when I am there randomly, I find amazing deals and sales. I recommend you download the app because they always give great discounts. read more

I was recently a customer in your store and want to commend Katlin. She showed professionalism, a positive attitude, and provided excellent customer service. Sincerely, Laurie read more

Any time we are in the mood to craft, we head to Michael's. It's great to have a go to place. I've been going to Michael since it first opened in Bakersfield. I bought a lot of puffy paint there in the 90's. A lot has changed over the years and there are things they used to carry that are no longer available, not even online. For the most part, they are helpful, once you track someone down. I don't think I've ever been there where an employee asked me first if I need help. read more

I had such a bad experience from the rude employee that was at checkout around 3pm. She was nice for two seconds when she asked me to input my phone number for rewards. Of course out of all the photo frames I grab, mine didn't have a barcode. While waiting for a price check, I found it online for a discounted price and when I showed it to her she cuts me off at says "That's online we won't honor the price". I ask if a manager would honor it and she interrupted me again saying "Do you want this or not". Just make an in-store pick up so you don't have to deal with their crappy, rude employees. read more

In line for a picture frame. Line getting busy. Single clerk calls for help. White haired man takes another register. They take customers until me. He leaves after checking out the customer in front of me. WTF? I know I didn't turn invisible.. Clear the damn queue before taking off!!! read more

Michael's is well stocked with craft supplies in all shapes and sizes sure to please even the most finicky crafter. I'm not particularly crafty, but I AM a kindergarten teacher so I often find myself visiting Michael's for supplies for special projects at school and I am never disappointed. This particular store feels smaller than others I have been in, but that could just be an illusion caused by the fact they seem to have crammed things in every nook and cranny available. No, the merchandise is not as beautifully displayed as it is at Hobby Lobby, but it is here, it isn't hard to find, and the prices are reasonable. Try to overlook its cosmetic issues and you'll find a good solid supply of quality products at surprisingly reasonable prices. Michael's is also known for its custom framing. Just bring in any picture, poster, or painting you wish to have framed and they will help you pick out the perfect frames and mats to complement it. How could you go wrong? Michael's offers a variety of crafting classes for people of all ages, but I have not yet tried one out. Maybe that will be a project for next summer? I downloaded the Michael's app onto my phone so I always have my coupons with me. They usually have a coupon for 40% off of a single item per visit, which will help stretch your crafting dollar as far as it can go. Not that I'm a penny pincher - yes I am - but why shouldn't you get the most bang for your buck? I rest my case. read more

Michaels - Fun activities for summer - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Great customer service went in looking for a couple things and was greeted and help Their staff is great cheerful helpful love that place.

I love the holiday deals they have here; things are heavily discounted in the final days before any holiday, especially around autumn/Thanksgiving/Christmas. You can get lost in here, and stay for longer than you intended when you first step in! :) This location is busy though, but staff are friendly. Sometimes they'll allow me to use the coupons online, as long as I pull them up on my smartphone. :) read more

Shout Out to Michaels Store Management! I just saved $500 on my $900 worth of items! They were so helpful!.... How you ask???? Due to a Double Response to the Charity Paint Nite for Magdalene Hope this coming Tues, we needed more canvases and Easels... I thank God for His PERFECT timing. I caught a 1 Day Deal on easels (that wasn't even advertised!) that reduced price from $20 to $8 each, then got another HUGE discount for signing up as a Preferred Customer. I didn't know about any of these until I spoke with the very helpful management. Thanks to Tom and Mike for GREAT SERVICE. read more

I normally love this store but after today, I'll never go back. I had to return quite a few items and asked for store credit because I needed to swap them for different colors or styles. The lady who rang me up did absolutely nothing but huff, puff, and sigh the entire time, because she was irritated I had multiple receipts. I was tired of listening to her sighs, I even asked if she wanted help sorting the items out, and she said no. By the time I was done, she rudely threw my DL onto the counter towards me and then aggressively gave me my final Merch Card and receipt. I was planning on shopping but after that all I could say was "sorry for ruining your morning" and I left. I have never been treated so poorly in that store and will never shop this location again. read more

Michaels is Donna's go to yarn store. They have a wide array of yarn at reasonable prices. Donna crochets for the Linus club whose members make knitted and crocheted baby blankets and then donate them to local hospitals for newborns. Michaels has crafts and projects galore for just about any project you need. They also have a framing department that does quality work. read more

They changed the store around and I hate that but it doesn't mean it was bad. The customer service was a few notches above what I remembered. The service I received yesterday I won't soon forget. I guess change IS good.... read more

I'm sad that after the what world is going through people can't help themselves from being so rude. I went on saturday to pick a curbside order that they now offer to find the young lady that brought my bag out to not even give any eye contact just toss my bag into my trunk I literally heard my stuff fall in the trunk and she turned around and walked inside I forgot my mask at home I had to get off and close my trunk. I have reasons that only do curbside that I don't feel I have to explain if the service is offered the employees should comply with respect. Even a hand gesture to let me know I was done. She was so rude!! Michaels on Ming ave. read more

My grandpa passed away on Wednesday and my grandma requested to have a black wreath for her front door. I called Michael's and thought it'd take a day or two and to my surprise, she said, "Just give me two hours and I'll have that for you." I can't remember her name now because it's been a rough couple days but we're very grateful for the beautiful wreath and the sympathy the store showed. read more

Michaels - Beautiful wreath for my grandpa's passing - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

It's tight and cramped, sometimes claustrophobic, but well stocked. I usually find things here that the Rosedale store does not have. Lots of oil paints, surprisingly. As every Michaels groupie knows...bring your coupons! They now accept mobile coupons (ala Jo Anns). They just scan the bar code off your phone. Easy-Love it!! read more

I came in the other night 3 minutes before closing time, literally. Nobody harassed me while I browsed around, and now that I think about nobody greeted me either. I don't care. The place was clean and organized and I saw a few employees helping other customers out. I know for sure I was in there at least 10 minutes past closing time and the lights were still on and nobody was yelling over the speaker! Thanks Michaels for not harassing your loyal costumers! read more

Good selection, but they have no puzzles :-(. They are fully stocked with the usual things; Baking specialty items (wilton), arts and crafts (wooden boxes, frames), and artificial flowers. They have a friendly staff that will be happy to answer your questions =D. read more

Just left and I purchased a paper pad that was from the 70%off section and a Apothecary jar with 50% off coupon, as I was checking out at the register the gal proceeds to tell me that the paper pad is not on sale it's regular price after asking her lead she says the only way she can honor it if there's more on the 70% off shelf and there was or why would I have gotten it from that shelf ! And the lead was hesitant on honoring it but after the gal that was helping me told her she checked and there was more and she would move it after she honored it for me and the lead said nothing so need less to say if it wasn't for the gal I wouldn't have gotten it even though it was not my fault! Thank you Olivia for being so kind and helping me out ! she Also packed my glass apothecary jar with lots of paper which I appreciate so much! read more

I love these stores they have so much stuff your creative side comes out and and Pinterest ideas come to life. This store has been here for so long that everyone knows this one store, parking is tight but a walk won't hurt no one. The store is very clean and well takin care of, they did a renovate the store a few years back and it looks good. The stuff on the shelf is neatly put in its place and the discount baskets are all organized to what is really supposed to be in them. Nothing is broken or out of place. Staff is very knowledgeable about the store and where you can find things love craft stores read more

Everyone is always so nice but today especially I had a gentleman go up and beyond. I feel so bad for not catching his name but he was in the framing department and wearing a dress shirt. He might be a manager. Just because of the employees I love shopping in this store! read more

I love this store. I can fine everything i need here. The people here are great. Always have a smile and are ready to help.

It used to be thee spot, but ever since Hobby Lobby came to town I noticed it isn't as much anymore. I came to take a knitting class here. It cost $25 for one class, I really don't feel the class is worth $25. 2 and a half hours is nothing when it comes to knitting, because it takes a long time to get it and then practice and try and complete a project. You definitely won't complete your project in class. The class was from 1-3:30,they also have a night class available, plus other craft classes. I just happened to be the only one signed up for the class that day. It was good for me cause I got one on one attention. I use to knit years ago but I had forgotten how, so in the time that I was there I learned to cast on, do two types of stitches, read some of the diagrams to the knitting instructions, and how to use more than one color in one project. If you are a beginner you may catch on but trust that you will need to keep it up to remember how when you're at home without the teacher. The teacher Janice was very nice and willing to help extra if you needed more but Michael's won't allow her to, you either have to pay for another class or this quick reminder/help type class which is $5;that part wasn't bad. The class really should be at least 2 days for the $25. read more

only ranking one star because that's the lowest. My shopping experience here was horrible due to the extremely rude management and completely apathetic clerks. read more

I always come to this store and get great customer service. They are nicer about coupons and always tell me other great ways to gain more. They are good at calling for other cashiers too. I've been to Hobby Lobby and yes it's a very beautiful store but the service is by far the same. They are rude about coupons & only have one. Michael's has a 40 and sometimes a 20% on whole purchase which is so awesome. Not as big as the rosedale store but their service makes up for it. Love this Michaels read more

Purchased a waterballoon toy for my son which he did not even USE. Obviously we opened up the package and again the item was NEVER used. Go in to return the item, manager looks at the packaging and says" no ones gonna wanna buy this, this is open" UM no SHIT! Are you gonna put this item back on the shelve?? NO u send it back to damaged merch. Told him i have over 10 years of retail experience and i know how this stuff works. Its not money coming out of your pocket! Obviously customer is always right so got my refund. Sorry Micheals you've lost my business and I'll be sure to share this bad customer experience. read more

Justin in the framing department is about the best I have ever worked with and I don't give out compliments lightly. Very responsible, friendly and easy to work with. The framing department in general is managed and run very well. I am very happy with all that they do. The store in general seems very organized and clean. read more

I had a horrible experience with this store. Went in there to just look around and look for cute things to buy. Came out mad. If you take your time and look around they follow you, put the cameras on you and have 3 people up front seeing what goes on the counter your paying for and ready to pounce on you certain you've stolen their merchandise. I won't go back to this store its disorganized and a total mess. Instead of following people around they need to clean it up. Other craft stores around that are cleaner and better read more

One of the best store for me . Tracy and Mike always willing to help not only me the costumers that needed help to find the items that their looking for. .Keep up the good work and God less! read more

I gave it only one star. Because every time I go to this store I come out stress and mad and is the store near my place. But it is a disgraceful the way they treat a frequent customer there, especially if your Hispanic . I take my time to choose my yarn because I do tons of knitting that I sell and I hate the way the staff looks over your shoulder, I felt harassed they had like 4 employees watch over me like if I was going to take something so I got the yarn I had and left with out looking for more ,the cashier was more interested in talking with another lady on the side for a long time than to take her time to greet me or give me the proper time to register my things . This is not the first time I get a bad experience ,once I return some yarn because it was not the kind I needed and I was going to find the right one but when I asked the cashier for customer service she called another employe from the back to come and assist me , the other employe came and said oh is just a return and told me to get in line I did and as soon as I did she opened a second register and made me wait at the very end. usually stores have a special register for customer service because it takes less time . They are not friendly and employees need a urgent change of attitude with clients, because with our business they make there pay checks . If they are not happy with there job they should consider a change and leave the job for a person who is willing to give a good customer service. I am a regular customer at michaels in Los Angeles, but I live here now and I expect the same quality service. read more

I give this Michael's two stars for the two things it had going for it. They had some great clearance/sale prices for kids stuff (crafts) and the cashier was fabulously friendly, made conversation, and was quite helpful. Other than that it was a terrible experience. It actually put me in a bad mood. It was a MESS. Almost every other aisle I went down was littered with merchandise, empty or abandoned filled carts, or huge metal ladders. It was very difficult to navigate and get around because of the mess. I didn't get to see some aisles because of the huge metal rolling ladders left in the middle of them. Then there was the person working in the framing department. They went on and on about how they are so busy because they do interior design on the side and wedding plan and it's bride season, blah blah blah. Like I said, the deals were good and the cashier was sweet, but I don't know that I'll be visiting this Michaels again. read more

I love shopping at Michael's for all my kids projects and crafts. However the manager here an older "white male" seems to be prejudice. Every time I come in he follows me around and stares at me the whole time. He makes me feel very UNCOMFORTABLE! I Feel he stereotypes me because I am a Hispanic woman. There have been times when I am in line looking at my cart to make sure I have everything and I look up and there he is. Just staring! I have even heard the cashier in the front registers speak to someone from her head set and describe the people walking in, during the time her description was just on Hispanics and blacks. Never once did she give a description of white people that walked in. The cashier and Mgr are prejudice. The mentality that they have is absurd, and needs to stop. I definitely won't be shopping here anymore, I'd rather go Joanns they have a friendlier environment. Besides who likes getting stalked while they shop. Not me. read more

I never have used Michaels to frame any of my art, but on this occasion I was in a hurry so I gave them a try and was pleasantly surprised with the service tech at the framing department (I don't really know his job title). I initially choose a frame and matting, however the framer Justin slowly began demonstrating other framing options that made the piece of art "pop." He has a very special eye for elegance. If you need something framed go see Justin at Michaels. read more

I hate going here. BUT they always have what I'm looking for so it's never a trip wasted. Only reason why I'm writing a review is bc today I got ripped off. I'm not one to really check out my receipt but today I thought I did some really good savings like the TLC show Extreme Couponing and this is when I noticed I was charged TWICE for two items! So I go back into the store and told the same cashier she charged me twice. No apologies whatsoever. Received my money and only get what's refunded if I had returned it instead of the price I was charged. Even though it's only a few dollars I was still pretty pissed bc it wasn't even my fault. I could've argued but I had better things to do. I just know which cashier not to go to next time. So don't forget to check your receipts!!! read more

Had a very nice experience shopping here thanks to Deineke. Very helpful. Good selection for the type of cloth and threading I needed.

Very coupon friendly. Staff was helpful especially Sara. Lines were a bit backed up but they called for backup and then was helped right away. read more
