How ridiculous to be on hold for 18 minutes no answer and they hang up the phone
Angela B.

This was a very unsettling experience from the customers point of view. No one should ever feel like this and I'm sorry that this happened to so many other people when returning at this location. Today I walked into the store for a return around 8pm. I had some items with a receipt & quite a few without one. I said it's fine they could look it up on my Michaels card. I did not want to drive all the way back home for something they do within the store. Walked in around 8:00pm Levi was kind and was helping the new employee while doing my return. Once we got to my pink lights that is when things got really weird. Some guy with no name jumps right into the convo talking sarcastically, as if he's being nice. And without finding out what the real issue was, he takes one look at my receipt and starts assuming that one item was stolen automatically. He didn't say those exact words, but body language and eye rolling and whispering behind the counter mean while aggressively pushing us out the door to the Glendale location where we first purchased the item was a bit much. I did not want to cause a scene so we kindly left. He assumed that the Glendale location didn't scan the item when I had 2 receipts. There's some weird technical issue when you price adjust. Be careful if you come back to return the item. When the price has already been adjusted there's a weird alert that says that the item has already been returned. I did not figure that out until I left the store. I called the store to inform the no tag guy but who ever picked up the phone right away said hold please and left us on hold for a while. I then called with my husband's phone and the same thing, this time left us on hold for 18 minutes and hung up right when they closed. What kind of ridiculous customer service is this. After this review I will be reaching out to corporate. There's no reason why we are treated with smiles when purchasing, but when it comes to returning, It's like pulling teeth. If we're in the timeframe of the return, then there should be a return. If your employees cant handle it, then change the policy instead of making customers feel incompetent.

** Dogs Welcome ** ** on leash ** I called first to make sure this location was still Dog friendly. The team member I spoke to said Yes we are Dog friendly in fact we are SUPER Dog friendly. Which is music to my ears as they say. The store was crowded but manageable for a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. Store was clean and organized for December right before Christmas. The team member I spoke to to find something was very helpful. They have self service check out terminals which made it faster. User error on my part I entered coupon code manually but a team member said you need to scan it to make it work. We parked as far away as possible as it is safer and easier to get Betty out/ in of vehicle. The whole parking lot was full except for a few spots facing side of West Elm. Fine by me to walk a bit to not hassle with parking. There is a long walkway bordered on right side (as you are headed to Michael's) with gravel and plants. Perfect spot to potty you furkid before going into Michael's. (See attached photo). The last time I bought ribbon it was $1.79 ha now it is $4.99. BUT sign up for Michael's emails/ texts to receive coupon codes like 30% off a regular priced item. Or you can google. Definitely recommend this location and we will be back.

Michaels is my go to store for custom framing and general picture frames. The prices are reasonable and they always been able to get the framing done within a reasonable time. I'm not much of an arts and crafts guy but they seem to have a large selection of decorations and they always dedicate a large space for the current season. I recommend you know what you're looking for before coming to the store because it's nearly impossible to find an employee on the floor for any assistance. They always seem to be understaffed and there is usually a long line at checkout. The aisles can get a little clustered and it's not the easiest store to find what you need. Five stars for the framing department and three stars for everything else.

My fiancée and I came to this Michael's to look at things for our wedding. This location also has free wifi, there was notice in the front entrance about it. The first thing we went to look at was the flowers and vase for them. This Michael's was fully stocked when we came and the whole store was nicely organized. The flowers we saw here was nice and the table numbers with their stands. They also had a lot of helium tank for balloons if you're looking for that. The employees were helpful and friendly when you talk to them.

It's self checkout now. There's only one register with a person and they will only help you if you pay cash and they are very unfriendly , abandoned by management who is still not hiring staff for this store . The store is mysteriously devoid of employees but if you are resourceful you can find cool things, especially go when they have 50% of sales, also ALWAYS use your Michaels coupon , go to google search on your phone and type michaels coupon and have that ready for check out. It's 20% off a regular priced item. You will use the scanning gun at the self checkout and scan it off your phone.....

Bought a mat and promptly returned it before leaving the counter. It was dirty and dented on a few sides. Not worth it.

I see why this location just has a 3-star rating and why Aaron Brothers and Hobby Lobby have higher ratings. I hardly come here but when I do it is always packed and the line to check out is long. This is a popular store for crafters. The shelves are labeled unlike another craft store in town, Hobby Lobby. Parking is fine in the Empire Center. There are pretty much always spots open though so that's good. The reason for the two stars is because I really have had better at other Michaels stores and across the Empire Center parking lot at Aaron Brothers. Michael's just doesn't cater to what I usually want, framing supplies. They have frames and framing materials in the back by their custom framing section, but you have to ask for assistance to see the mat boards, which are in their back room. I usually purchase mat boards at Aaron Brothers but the last time I was in there they didn't have the color I wanted, a pale yellow cream. So, I tried Michael's. The lady at the custom framing counter let us into the back to view the mat boards, but she appeared in such a rushed mood that we hurried up to pick a color so we could stop bothering her by wanting to see them. She kept tapping her fingers on something rather hard and quickly the entire time, sending us a clear message to grab a color and go. We asked why they were in the back room and she said they would get destroyed if they were out in the front. At first I thought, great, they will be cleaner and less beat up in the back. Big upon inspecting them, we realized they were mostly bad! Worse than I had ever seen out in the front at Aaron Brothers or Hobby Lobby. So I just pointed to a couple of decent looking ones and told her I wanted those. She carried them to the counter and then realized one had a huge cut about 25" long down it. She offered $2 off but I asked for a new one. She found a better one and then charged me $35.02, a huge amount of money for two May boards! They wouldn't take the 40% off one item coupon for a mat board purchase so I asked if I could just buy one of them. She then charged me $17.51 for one but after I paid my boyfriend noticed huge dark fingerprints on all four edges about a few inches in on the colored side! I never even touched the board. I immediately returned it and went across the street to Aaron Brothers, used a coupon and spent $23 and got two mats. Next day I went to Hobby Lobby, used a coupon and spent $7.87 and got one mat. What's the moral of the story? Go to Hobby Lobby for mat boards. They are cleaner, easier to get to, and less than half the price of the mat boards at Michaels!

If you need it, they have it. All things crafting under one roof. Just make sure yiu get it on…read moresale. Most sections alternate 50% off one week, then something new the next week. If you can make it, it can be found here. Hobby Lobby has all things to start your holiday season as early as July. They have isles of decore to get you all season ready. Plenty of fall decor, Christmas, and everything in between. Mostly everything is 40% off. The only thing you wont find is parking. The Burbank location is busy.

Very Unprofessional and Uncomfortable Experience…read more I had a very unpleasant experience at the Hobby Lobby in Burbank, CA, today, October 10, 2026, with an employee named Kimberly M., who was working at the returns register. From the very beginning, she had a terrible attitude and seemed visibly annoyed that I didn't have my physical receipts and that she had to look up the transactions for a few items. It wasn't a large number of returns, and I certainly didn't expect to be treated poorly simply because she had to do a little extra work. What made the interaction even more bizarre was her unnecessary and completely out-of-context comments, including mentioning that she was the daughter of a lawyer. I'm not sure what she was trying to accomplish by bringing that up. Was it supposed to intimidate me? It was completely irrelevant and incredibly unprofessional. Throughout the entire interaction, she kept going back and forth with me in an unnecessarily confrontational and awkward manner, all in front of my child. Her behavior made both of us feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. I don't know what her issue was that day, but customers should not have to deal with this kind of attitude, especially when simply trying to make a return. Customer service requires patience, professionalism, and basic courtesy, none of which I experienced from Kimberly. Hobby Lobby management should seriously address how customers are being treated at this location. What should have been a simple return turned into an unnecessarily unpleasant experience.

Please allow me to tell you just how good this business is…read more.. The Burbank shop has a wide selection of all kinds of singles (sports, Pokemon, One Piece, etc.) that are accurately priced. There's a large variety of sealed product, too. The staff (Nathan, Daniel, E.J., Marvin, etc.) are super-friendly, knowledgeable, and relaxed. Plus if I want to sell/trade cards, it can be done very quickly - no entering your name into a computer then waiting 20 minutes for somebody to look at your stuff. The percentages paid are generous and fair. Finally, they have extended hours so it's convenient to swing by after work or at night to score the items you want. The Glendale location is mainly manned by Sam and he is great to deal with on all levels. The selection is pretty good meaning the showcases are well-stocked. While there is no buyer in Glendale to sell your cards to, the Burbank location is close-by anyway. I have recently had a plethora of satisfying transactions at both L A Sports Cards shops and they have definitely earned my loyalty. Highly recommended!

As a middle-aged father looking for a hobby we could share that didn't involve screens or video games, I'd read a bit about Gunpla and decided to give it a shot. What a find! The owner was incredibly helpful and patient with us, taking the time to understand what we were looking for and guiding us to first sets that were perfect for our skill levels. His enthusiasm was genuine, and it made the whole experience fun and welcoming, never overwhelming for complete beginners like us. The prices are very reasonable, which is a huge plus when you're testing out a new hobby with your kid. We both walked out with our own kits, and I have to say, I'm just as hooked as my son! Building these models has been a surprisingly relaxing and rewarding experience, and I'm already looking forward to tackling more complex builds and refining them. I'm planning to return soon to pick up a few more sets for Christmas gifts and to expand my own collection. If you're looking for a screen-free activity to share with your children or just want to explore the world of Gunpla, I highly recommend stopping by this shop. The passion and knowledge of the owner really make all the difference.
