Once upon a time I lived in Camarillo and shopped at the Michael's location which used to be on Carmen Drive. After I moved they upscaled their location over to Ventura Blvd. off Las Posas in the big plaza there. They're in between HomeGoods and The Home Depot on the western end of the shopping area. Often when Dear Hubby and I go over to Ventura for the afternoon, I'll plan to stop at this Michael's on the way back home. It's a convenient location with lots of free parking. Over the years, they've stepped up the merchandising layout of the store. I can easily be enticed by the seasonal items they stock, as those seem to get cuter each year. The yarn department can be hit or miss still. Am hoping that they will get one of the newer yarn / fabric departments which are arising out of the purchase of Joann's labels for yarn, especially. Our Sweet Granddaughter influences me to stay interested in crafting, including jewelry making, which she loves. She wants me to teach her how to crochet, which I will gladly do when her hands get a little bigger. She's just turning 6, so it may be a bit too soon and lead to frustration instead of joy. We'll get there, though. Last time I stopped in, most of what I bought was to work on making friendship bracelets with SG. It's helpful to be signed up for Michael's rewards program, as that usually provides extra discounts when it's time to cash out. They run good sales throughout the seasons, so you can usually get a good price on whatever items you're seeking. In my creative shopping Joann's was #1 and Michael's #2. Now that Joann's is gone, Michael's moves into the #1 spot. read more

A bit of a disappointment... It's the holidays so there's a lot more people out shopping and Michael's only had 3 self checkouts with two cashier registers NOT OPEN while the line continues to grow so does lack of patience. I personally do not like coming into a store like this and not being able to have proper customer service. read more

Tried to get balloons for a birthday morning surprise and they wouldn't do it because it was "too close to closing time". Even though it was before closing time. Apparently customer service isn't a thing anymore. read more

Good selection, nicely organized, love the rewards program, just got another $5 coupon! Staff was helpful at the 'self' checkout. But it wasn't busy so that could be a factor read more

I place and online order for pick up. I received a texted message a day later saying my order was picked up. For two days I have been trying to contact an associate to assist me with the matter and no one answers the phone. Ive called over 10 times. I know the store is not that busy for it to not have anyone answer. read more

Good place to grab something fast but very pricey Always come for stuff quick and the coupons suck here now they change it all up read more

IF I COULD GIVE THEM NO STARS.... I WOULD. This Michaels is a JOKE comparatively to their other sister stores. The customer service was horrific. Not only were they rude and dismissive to my needs as a customer, the management staff is laughable. I spoke with their Store Manager Lupe about my concerns and couldn't believe he was trusted with the management and command of this particular store. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

All staff are wearing masks and gloves. Came in here to browse and I was disappointed at what a mess the clearance section was. It was completely unshoppable with broken items being sold. The staff was friendly and helpful in helping me locate an item. The line was wild though, so I wouldn't come here if your in a rush. It's Christmas time though so I understand the wait. read more

Great service, nice cashiers and good selection of oil paints and love the sales they are constantly having. Thumbs up

I am not going to do self checkout when the tags are missing, when I can't find help and when the whole self checkout seems like an afterthought for some corporate egghead who just wants to save a few bucks. I am done with Michael's. Far be it from customers to be in the way! Too busy for customers! I am too busy to be a customer. read more

Really? Walked in. About 3 employees walking around pushing carts. When I get in line, about 4 people in line. 1 girl moving like a turtle is the only one ringing people up. Nearly 15 minutes later I am still in line, yet never is anyone called up to help. The untrained little child girl isnt aware of her enviremont at all. Few minutes later , I just left. Michaels has always , it seems, that they require their employees to be, a bit slow. Is the pay bad? They always seem to have lazy noncaring employees. Once in a great while a manager shows up , and just maybe things will change. Nope. Michaels is michaels and customer service is always last. Im home now, I wonder if the line has moved. Thank god for Amazon. read more

I was given a make it right coupon for 10.00 off my purchase, because I was never given my correct change of almost 13.00 which I realized after I got home and called them right away this was the reason for the coupon, mind you it was about 2 years ago, however the employee told me that it did not have an expiration date. The coupon was signed by Lupe who is still the current manager. I went in today 4-1-24 and purchased a tub of fondant thinking I could use my coupon....wrong the manager Lupe said that I COULD'NT use it, that they did away with those. Personally I would have honored it, but he didn't which was very unprofessional in my opinion, he could have offered a 40% off, which he didn't as well, instead he only gave 20% off which was so ridiculous. Thanks for nothing. read more

Great craft store with super helpful people to help you find what you need. All we have in Simi Valley is a sad looking Joanne's and they never hardly have what I'm looking for. This Michael's rocks! Got two items I've been looking for for a long while, and friendly folks helped me locate them quickly. Well done. read more

David in the Framing Department at the Michael's in Camarillo is AWESOME!! Great customer service and really cares about delivering a wonderful experience!! Thanks David! You rock!! read more

I bought 210 meters of string and 4.5 oz of craft beads for $19.28. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS. NO ONE CAN AFFORDED THAT PRICE. INSANE. And to make it worse, i gave the cashier a $20 bill and she should given me 72 cents back but guess what?! SHE SCAMMED ME OUT OF 22 CENTS! So on top of this outrageous pricing of some string and beads, she took more money than she was meant to. Don't shop here. read more

brianna helped me and my husband on 7/21 and was so helpful! she took the time to explain how the app worked and what benefits we as shoppers could get with it. she was so kind and helpful and made our shopping experience nice. we also really appreciated how early their halloween merch was out (if you know you know!) Thank you! read more

Great service and great attitude by the framing department. They sized up my 4 posters and found the right size frame for each. But they only had 1 in stock. The gal took the time to call other Michael's in the area and reserve 4 frames for me in Thousand Oaks. From my visit, it's apparent they have lots of frames in many sizes. They will custom frame anything too including a sports shirt. There's a 15% Military discount for their custom framing too. read more

Love the new location! So convenient and lots of parking. Wide selection of all your arts and crafting needs and much more! read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Camarillo, California

This is a well maintained and awesome craft shop. It's always clean, well stocked, and they have great sales. The classes and camp creativity are AMAZING. The teacher, Juan, is patient, kind, creative, helpful, and great with kids. He always goes above and beyond. We loooooove the classes so much and Juan deserves some sort of award. Thanks, Michaels! read more

I always encounter friendly staff here. Just wanted to leave a review because one of the staff, Levi (spelling?) is really nice and funny. He truly just truly wants to help ppl and be fabulous!!! 5 stars for all of the staff here as well (: read more

I highly recommend you don't buy a Cricut machine from Michael's. They sell all kinds of Cricut machines but when mine was broken right out of the box they would not take it back Or exchange for the same product. I literally brought it back the next day. Not worth the hassle of driving out there and standing in line for twenty minutes only to now have to go deal with the manufacturer. I wish I would have just purchased from them in the first place. read more

Walked in, asked for an item I saw online. I asked a lady That works here, after walking to 1 location she said the inventory online is wrong and that they did not carry this item. Bummed because I drove such a long way. Anyway I kept looking because I felt she was withholding information. I showed her again online, offered an item number to help, she looked upset and bot willing to help anymore than she already did (which was not much other than look in one place and discredit their online inventory). Finally got a hold of Nick (the hero), he found this product and was super helpful. I gave him 5 stars. Lady gets 2 . Nick was very helpful, awesome employee there. read more

This is the most boring and empty Michael's I have ever been to. They are out of so many things. The yarn section is almost non existent. It doesn't seem like they keep up with the inventory at all. It's the closest one to me but I dread going and will often drive the extra 15 minutes if I have the time to the Ventura store which is very full and inspiring. The employees are nice enough but some are very uninformed about the products. read more

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff!! HIGHLY recommended! read more

Michaels - Store front. - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Camarillo, California

Stopped in here to check out their baking supplies and I was pleased to find a good selection. The store is medium sized for a Michaels and crammed with stuff. I only ended up finding what I needed in many different products and didn't want to spend a fortune so I left empty-handed, but they did have the things I wanted if I was willing to buy too much and pay a lot. Store was clean enough. A little messy but it's Christmas season so it's busy and customers were not being very tidy. read more

David did such a fantastic job framing my poster as if it were a work of fine art. He helped pick out the frame and backing, and listened to what I wanted. David's framing increased the beauty of the poster. read more

Great store! Great Staff. I was so relieved to find they had not closed down but only moved to a new location. Yay! In a world where brick & mortar stores are fast disappearing it was a relief to still be able to shop, in person, at a friendly Michaels. read more

Love this Michael's store. It recently moved to this location. The store is bigger and better organized. Staff is very friendly & helpful. I recently purchased a bunch of frames from the frame department, Nicolette exceeded my expectations. She was SO helpful, truly thankful for her exceptional service! read more

The 5 stars are for the framing department. These guys do a great job at working with you to make whatever it is you need look exactly how you wanted it to look. They also don't work off of flat pricing, they'll make you a deal. (so much better than Aaron Brothers on pricing and time frame, no pun) The lines at the front of the store and the attitude of the cashiers need a lot of improvement, they never smile, their never friendly, just very robotic or maybe catatonic, their just not happy. read more

This store is a craftsman or craftswoman dream! Everything is where it should be and is easy to find and the staff there are extremely helpful and will drop whatever they're doing to assist you. I've shopped here for many different holidays and occasions and always found something that I didn't necessarily need but really enjoyed. They have awesome specials and deals and sales going on throughout the year. The prices are reasonable and often can find an awesome deal. My favorite time to shop here is during football season as I like to get creative well my boyfriend is watching the game. They have a wide selection of paints, craft , decorations, frames, baking supplies, and so much more. Even if you are not a creative person Michaels and Michaels staff can guide you in the direction where you can make something incredible or at least meaningful. read more

Michaels - We made these little gems! - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Camarillo, California

This is one of the WORST Michaels that I have ever been too. It's cramped, dirty, disorganized, and SO small. There were a lot of items out of stock - and mostly all the ones I needed. The aisles are so small that its a joke to try and get two carts down them. There were 12 (seriously 12!!!) people in line with 1 checker so I was there forever. This Michaels location is convenient for me; however, I will not be visiting this location again. read more

I usually go to the Michaels in Ventura but decided to give the one in Camarillo a try. Kind of disappointed. The store is small and the aisles are really cramped. There was only one checker. I prefer the one line feeds into all the lines set up that they have in Ventura. There was only one checker open and someone had a return and tied everything up when I was just buying one item. Ugh! read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Camarillo, California

Eh, they are ok at best. I am not jazzed about this store. It's always clean but not allways stalked. They dont really have fast service either. This is jusst a hilarious story to go with this store... Back when I was home for summer break from college I applied to work at Michaels, well they said "could you come in at 5am?" I looked at her with a serious face and said "I dont know....---starts to seriously things-----well I could try, I couldn't guarantee anything but it could be a possability" she said we'd be in contact. I never heard back from her...I've always wanted to call her back and be like "Yes I interevied a couple years ago and wanted to let you know I know I can be there at 5 am now...can I have the job?" just for laughs....ANYWAY, hopefully you got a giggle out of this :) read more

Went for some custom framing and David was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Not afraid to go through the process step by step and accommodate your needs. You can tell he's passionate about art and helping others too. read more

Good selection of items. A good store to get holiday decorating items. It always inspires me to get creative when I shop here. This store is a bit messy and stuff is just all over the place. I can always find someone if i have a question or need help. They changed their line formation to a line for each open register. read more

This is by far the worst michaels I have ever been to. With it being so small you would think it would be easier to find associates and if your lucky enough to find someone working they r usually gossiping or super rude. They point and famous for the "over there" nod. The whole set up of store is not user friendly and everything scattered. Selection is small and not worth the time or $$. Id rather drive another 10 minutes and got to Ventura store which is waaaay better! read more

One Of my favorite places! Coupons are great. Staff is pleasant and helpful. I spend way too much time & money here! I can't help it I love to create and craft. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Camarillo, California

We had David frame a flag for us and he did an incredible job! We are so happy with the job he did framing our flag.

Corporate needs to send in help for this store. Unfortunately not prepared to take curbside orders. Instead of marking this online and saying they are 2 days behind on orders, they just take them. Obviously stressed and snippy on the phone. I was not rude or argumentative, I expect customer service in kind. read more

Disappointing waiting fifteen mins now and no one to even acknowledge I'm here. Placed a pick up order online even. And I love michaels. But don't place orders online for the new location you'll eat waiting and waiting and waiting..... read more
