Gone way downhill and crazy expensive. Watch..shelf tags are lower price than what rings up. She would not honor my teacher discount despite it always working before. Plastic storage used to be good USA quality. Replaced w unusable cheap plastic. Same w clay. Found a 3 containers for 12.99 at Michaels. Identical item at .99 cent store for 3.99 Kids working there are doing the best they can. read more

It's a love/hate thing. I love crafts/crafting and all the beautiful things at Michaels. But what I hate is the prices and fake sales they have everyday. The same item can be 60% off, 20% off and then full price all within the space of a week. I feel like I'm constantly second guessing whether I got the best possible deal. It's just annoying. So basically, unless you got your item at 50% off, you're being ripped off. Lol read more

Great store with good stock - I am definitely a fan of their Order Pickup service, which is super helpful in making sure your items are in stock and available -- sometimes, website might show in stock but it's not on the sales floor and we all know (unfortunately) how difficult it can be to find an associate to do a stock check besides the poor cashier. That being said, the only downside is how busy this particular strip mall is and therefore it can be a bit difficult to find parking without stressing out for a minute. read more

I visited Custom Framing Department and Kayden was a pleasure to work with. She helped with selecting the frame, taking measurements of the canvas, taking pic of the canvas and showing how the selected frame would look on it. Also, she explained how canvas would be stretched and explained how hardware would be provided. Very kind, professional and has an eye for art. With her art degree she really evaluates the canvas and frame to make sure all pieces sync well. Thank you Kayden for your help and professionalism. I value and appreciate it. read more

Looking for a simple return on a simple online purchase you made?? Well I advise, never and I mean ever come to the Michaels on Irvine Blvd. Here you will be greeted by their "manager" and I use that term loosely. Candy, who even after being called by corporate/customer care to take your return will still refuse it. read more

If only I didn't need something urgently, I wouldn't go to this location. For sure will not come back because customer service sucks here. I have been to a couple of different Michaels and have only encountered nicest employees ever, except for this one location read more

Such a wonderful assortment mix of craft items and picture frames, I only wish I used Michaels more in the past. Came here around 20 minutes before closing and was thankful they hadn't closed or locked the door early. It's a perfect place to pick up a 24x36 poster frame and I make a beeline towards the back of the store where the frames are. I was already armed with a 40% discount for a single item from the Michaels app and yet these picture frames were 50% off the $32 price. Hey, never pay full price at Michaels! Does it seem strange that Michaels always has a sale? It's like those marketing gimmicks that intentionally bump the price off and then has a permanent "sale" so you as a customer can feel like you're getting a bargain. Anyhow I pick up the frame and head back to the counter. There's like only 1 person in line. The cashier somehow convinces me to sign up for their rewards program even though I already have the app and digital coupons. When complete, I'm out of the store before it closes. Pros nice variety of craft items Cons marketing gimmicks like permanent sales and coupons read more

Candy the manager had a attitude when I picked up my order. Without any provocation she accused me of having an attitude when I showed her my phone to confirm the pick up. I didn't say a word and she lashed out taking me by surprise. I have never seen customer service so unprofessional. I will never again patronize this store. read more

This review is for Valentine at the framing center. I had a canvas frame that I ordered from another company that had the hanging wire installed incorrectly. The online company was no help and this was a Christmas gift so I was running out of time. I tried this Micheal's fully expecting to get turned away because I didn't purchase the frame there, but they fixed it for me quick and easy! One less stressor during the holiday season. Thank you! read more

I love this place they are the best they make activities and a lot of other fun stuff I go there every Sunday for fun stuff !! Recommend this business read more

Do not come here for candle making supplies. Only a few few items to choose from. I'm hoping they increase this section especially now that Bath and Body Works is going out of business. read more

Went to make a return with a receipt and they refused to accept back because I did not have the original package. If I saved every package my home would look like a hoarders house. It's not like they don't sell the item there and I did not have a receipt. Sabrina was rude and should be trained in customer service. read more

Wow, what a terrible experience. It seems like the customer is an afterthought here. We have never experienced this type of mismanagement at Michaels before. From the previous reviews, looks like this is the trend at the Irvine location. read more

This is a new Michael's in Woodbury. It's next to the HomeGoods. It is painted gray, as opposed to all of the other Michael'ses which are painted cream. There are plenty of good sale deals going on around the store. It appears slightly smaller than the one at the District, but maybe it could just be due to perspective. I was in awe of the restrooms because they were brand new and very clean, and functioned well. (They're gender-separate, for reference.) No one I was shopping for needed anything. I'll have to come back when someone actually requests me to buy something. read more

I've always been thankful for the close proximity to craft supplies and be able to pick up things before or after my Trader Joe's run. I was especially thankful for them this week when schools closed and I was in need of a cart full of arts and crafts projects. I've been back nearly every day this week stocking up on different projects as the expected extended spring break stretched longer and longer. They even looked through stock to make sure I had everything I needed. When two of my online orders were out of stock, the closing manager kindly applied the same sales offer against two similar products. He totally made my long exhausted day. I'm so thankful for my neighborhood Michael's team for the kindness, patience and break from reality that they provide. read more

Just opened last thursday (5/25). Very clean and tons of sales going on! If anyone needs a planner for the new academic year coming up, I just got mine for 40% off as well as the planner accessories! read more

I called in 3 mins to 7pm (their closing time) and told them I'd be there right at 7pm and that my daughter knew exactly what she wanted (a journal). They put me on hold and we arrived on time and they locked up right in front of us. Still on the phone with me the associate said the manager would not reopen while they saw us walk up to the door. Very rude and unprofessional. read more

Staff was extremely unpleasant and rude to me while I was checking out and sounded really annoyed while asking questions. I have never had a bad experience at Michaels as I am a frequent customer and this was my first time at this location. My cashier specifically was not eager to help me with my purchases and was talking in a very annoyed tone, definitely will not be returning to this location. read more

Service here is horrendous. I've been to MANY Michaels in LA county and never had a bad experience til I step foot into this one. Mgmnt is no better when you bring issues to their attention.. Won't be coming back! read more

Absolute waste of a space. They are way overpriced and they do not know jack sh** about customer service.

Theyre such liars and wasted my time! I called ahead of time to ask if they had a certain item. They told me yes. So i drove here 10 minutes after i called , and they did not have it! I should have gotten their name, but it was a woman i spoke to who is in charge of the streamer section this afternoon. She wasted my name. If you didnt have it, you shouldnt have lied to me and told me you did. Maybe Michaels should hire people who are actually competent. read more

This comment is strictly on the framing department. I'm new to the area, and it seems like so many Michaels in the area are absolute duds. Irvine was a little out of my way, but still not that bad of a drive. I came here for the good reviews, and got exactly what I was expecting .....and more. Nichole spent a good amount of time with me on getting some framing ideas on some of my posters I wanted framed. She was an absolute pro, and immediately had a few ideas on what to do. She helped me stay within my budget, and showed me some work that she recently did. I trust her 100% and will definitely be back for some more prints! Really great experience, and I hope she stays around for a long time! read more

I love this place, I can spend hours & hours here just getting lost in all the crafting things I want to do. The last visit was to get supplies to make my French macaron I needed pastry bags & tips also needed food coloring & flavors. While I was there I picked up some silicone mats & parchment paper. What I love most is they always have what I need and more, I was able to pick up Christmas items that were marked 90% off like candles and candle holders that read more

This is one of the most organized Michael's that I have been in. It's new, organized and the staff is friendly. Great location next to Homegoods and Trader Joe's. Parking is good as well. One of the best parts is the cool baskets that turn into mini carts! My kids love them! read more

The other day I went into Michaels not expecting much as I'm not a very crafty person and felt like I'd get a little lost. However, I was greeted very nicely by some wonderful employees by the name of Tyler and Brianna. They made me feel at home in that Michaels and I swear I will never go to another Michaels except this one again. Solely because of the employees that work here. Both of them made sure my needs were met, and showed me where everything I needed was and if I needed anything else to not hesitate to contact them whenever. They just made my day. Excellent job on Michaels part on hiring such impressive employees. read more

Wow...I am speechless. I visit this Michaels' location on average once a week every week of the year. Spending hundreds of dollars on personal items and school arts & crafts since I am the room parent for my son's class year over year. I came in this evening with a bag of items I was considering returning or exchanging. As I picked up a few items and approached the register, the sales clerk asked immediately if I had walked in with the items I was returning! I was in such disbelief that I was just asked such a ridiculous question as I recognized the clerk from all my visits to her store. I'm pretty sure her theft doubts would've been resolved had she let me return the items after seeing proof of my receipt/rewards member history. Needless to say, as a frequent and loyal customer of this store, I am very offended that this is the manner in which the sales clerk handled the situation. Unbelievable. read more

"Being Rude" must be a crucial employee requirements here. Ended up talking to 3 employees(regarding simple store pick up). Staffs here love to talk to you facing away from you. Maybe their head is just backward! read more

This Michael's is fairly smaller than its surrounding ones, but that is what makes it so nice! its super easy to get in and out, and all the associates seem to know where everything is! The other reviews of this Michael's that aren't so positive seem to be ones regarding policy problems, like people have never worked retail before and aren't aware that the helpful associates are just doing what they have been taught to do. Having worked retail it can be hard getting the customers to understand that you have to do whats right in order to not get fired. I personally have never had an a issue here and neither have my circles of friends! Every time i come in either Alexandra or Courtney are so great and always go out of their way showing me new products so i can get my project done more efficiently. The store is always so clean and absolutely beautiful with all of their seasonal decor. They also have a great selection of fine are supplies, of which i shop frequently. I highly recommend this Michael's and all of the associates are so willing to have you leaving with a smile :) its always a joy to come here. read more

After having been sick (along with a knee injury) just prior to Christmas, I made the mistake of going there on the 23rd to try to get some gift wrapping supplies. I was hobbling along leaning heavily on my cart when I made the HUGE mistake of asking a clerk who appeared to be nice. I asked if they happened to still have any gift tags in stock. Get this - she LAUGHED at me and made a rude comment. Really? Is this customer service? The store was not as busy as one would expect just before Christmas. I will NEVER go back to this store! I'll drive to another location. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Michaels! It's close to the house, walking distance, and near everyone's hangout spot. You could just walk to Trader Joe's, stop by at Micheals for some crafting tools, decorations, Valentine Cards , etc. And, on the way back home, settle for a Starbucks which is near Micheals, and get a Frappuccino. :) read more

Went to Michaels today to pick up some supplies for a DIY glam bottle project. Meghan was super helpful, got me all the supplies and told me all the steps I needed to know. Cant wait to try this project out :) read more

This review is for the the FRAME SHOP. EXCELLENT personal work. Mostly one person, whose name I have of course forgotten, but every one I dealt with in the frame shop went to great lengths at one time or another during a couple months of heavy framing / lots of projects. They took care of me, some with expertise, some with just good customer service. read more

The one in Foothill Ranch is so much bigger but this store is organized nicely and clean. They didn't have the product I wanted probably due to not enough shelf space but an associate was able to help me right away. read more

We've been coming here since it opened, and there is never anyone on the floor to help. Except today when they're getting ready to close and want to rush customers out. Even then, there was a long line with one cashier open. It's a painful necessity to come here. Always a line yet no one to answer questions. read more

I like the kids club held at Woodbury compared to District, staff are more friendly. I am glad we have Michael's nearby that our family can spend time making crafty things together! read more

This is the new store in the Woodbury Center. I went in to pay for my daughter's birthday party and I was told that the reservation could not be honored. They gave me a few reasons and to make a long story short I left home that night a bit frustrated. I decided to come up with a new plan in the morning. 1st thing in the morning I got a call from the manager named David. He was courteous and apologetic and professional and authentic and took the reins of the situation and said that he realized it was their human error and that he would take full ownership and honor my daughter's birthday even though it goes against their scheduling policy. I was so pleased with his professionalism and kindness and openness that I told him I would recommend this story to anybody who wanted to do birthday party at the craft store. I highly recommend this store because of my experience. And thank you David for making my life easier and honoring your word. :) read more
