I had gone into the store looking for a shadow box. I found what I was looking for. Then, was over near framing looking at plate holders. I went over to your associate behind the counter and told her what I wanted to do. And she was very nice and gave me a few suggestions which helped me very much. Hopefully when I get what I want done I can take it in to show her. read more

This store is a complete mess. Material was all over the floor with people walking on it. I asked an employee where to find diamond art he told isle 57 and 58 wrong it was in the isle he was in. I went to the register to ask about a lite pad. The women said let me get a price checking device she never came back. Complete disaster. Wont go back read more

Awful service. Every time I have been here the line is long and not enough people working. 1 person working the register just walked away leaving a long line. Today is by far the worst. read more

Michael's is in serious trouble. 2 weeks in a row, we've gone into this store, only to find it totally destroyed. Empty shelves, boxes of stock cluttering the aisles, just a mess. IT'S THE HOLIDAYS FOR GOODNESS SAKE. I'm not blaming the employees, but Corporate offices for not paying a good wage. read more

I walk in with money to spend..find what i want with nothing having a price on it ? have to use phone and download an APP just to see price... I leave store with money still in pocket. What a dumb idea Micheals. read more

I needed buttons for a project I had just finished. I checked online and found the ones I wanted. The item was shown as being in stock at the Salem store. I was very happy but not for long. I traveled to the Salem store (20-minute drive) and went to the button aisle. I wish I had taken a picture of it. The entire wall of little hooks were 90% empty. I found the location of where the buttons I wanted were supposed to be, but there were none. I checked inventory online again and it still showed items in stock. I walked around the store for about 10 minutes trying to find someone to help me. So, then I had the bright idea of ordering online for pick up. I did that and waited to see if someone would come to pick up the buttons. Finally, someone who looked like they were a picker walked down the button aisle, and looked in the area I had been looking. I told her what had happened. She couldn't find my order online, but eventually did. I asked her if they were buttons out back that hadn't been stocked yet. She said she'd have to check, but she couldn't do it right now because she had 12 online orders to complete first before she got to mine. I was standing right in front of her! if I didn't place the online order, I would still need those buttons. I walked out and canceled the order when I got to my car. I found the buttons I wanted on Amazon. What a complete waste of time and oxygen. And by the way, the store was a complete mess. There were stacks of unopened boxes blocking several of the aisles and the place just looked dirty. I was, however, impressed by the quantities and types of yarn that were available. I hope it stays that way because there's no place to buy yarn near me except Michael's. read more

This location was my "go-to" for many years. I now avoid it if possible. The aisles are chaos. I had to maneuver around ladders and boxes. During my last few visits finding associates on the floor was impossible. I hope it turns around. read more

Self check is the only option for cards. One cashier for cash and no one to troubleshoot self checkout issues. Three of us had self checkout issues. Computers won't accept Michaels coupons. After waiting several minutes, unable to proceed without help, I left my purchase at the counter and walked out. Horrible experience. read more

I'm not talking about In store... I'm talking about customer service number .... I've been on hold total of 2 hours with first two calls. Third stayed on the phone.... Hour later someone answers and then I was transferred because you could not help me with my gift card order.... And now another 1/2 an hours still on hold.. I first tried the online help. Ya that was not working right. 30 min of that. Needless to say I Bull shit and will never order from them again . ... all this bullshit for Christmas gift... NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! I don't even give one star read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. Absolutely ZERO customer service. Waited over 30 minutes to get fabric cut and still no service.

I had a framing consultation with a very kind young lady named Marilyn. She was very attentive and was very helpful, and helped me understand what my options were for frames and colors, and even gave me an estimate on price. She explained everything very well, and was very patient. If you're getting something framed, you'll want to get her! read more

I had excellent customer service in the framing department. Jesse was kind and attentive and took the time to explain the custom framing process. I appreciated their generosity and patience, as good quality customer service is hard to come by. read more

Just as bad as Walmart when calling. Nobody EVER answers the phone. What's the point in "being there for all the makers like you" if you can't even provide customer service via telephone?! All I wanted to know was if you carried Lye in store for soap making. Wish there was a Hobby Lobby in Salem. I'd shop there instead. Poor customer service! read more

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! The cashier added coupons to our order and even got the store manager to help assemble a huge car bow for us My 1 year old daughter wouldn't let go of her new ty beanie baby so she scanned the price on another one just so my daughter can hold on to her stuffed animal nice and tight They're awesome and very knowledgeable here Great staff read more

I was assisted by Kayla Q. today. She helped me locate several items and made sure I had everything I needed. What a lovely, helpful and polite girl she was. A++++ Michaels is lucky to have her on the team! read more

No one answers the phone at the Salem NH store. When you call and follow the prompts, wait on the line for the next available person or hit 0. read more

I went in for a price quote on a print that I wanted matted and framed. They advertised 60% off all framing orders, which drew me in. I got good friendly service. The woman in the framing area was fun and knew her trade. Sad but even at 60% off the prices did not wow me. I eventually did go with Frame King down the road, @ 20% off, with coupon for the same price as Micheal's and I believe got a nice better job done all together. read more

Spooky town by Lemax is over priced for the quality be sure to buy when 40% off or cheaper. read more

Michael's always seems a step up above AC Moore. Not sure why but their prices reflect that attitude as well. Their faux flower selection is a bit less pitiful than AC Moore though you pay for it dearly. Candles aren't bad but make sure to wait for sales. Michael's has also eliminated their "make your own" frame section with the exception of the black metal frame. Their custom framing prices are absurd, sometimes even after their 60 (or more) percent off. They do have nice selections of frames if you have something that is a normal size. Never ever ever pay full price for a frame at this store! You can also get coupons in the Sunday flyers or by signing up online. They're good deals but only off regular price items. That works for the stuff that never goes on sale (but of course they have exceptions). After pricing out a custom frame during several different promotions, they finally came up with a price that was within the realm of possibility. I wanted the frame only, no mat, no glass as I am perfectly capable of framing my own print. The frame was 30x36" and I made sure to ask if they would reinforce the corners. I was assured they would. Since it had been pre-paid (a Michael's requirement) I asked my mom to pick it up. When she handed it over and I looked at the corners, I was surprised to find no reinforcements. I called and was assured that it would not fail and if it did, he would refund the cost. I know the turnaround in stores like that so asked if it were possible for him to just add the reinforcement. He said he would, I brought it in and it was done in 5 minutes as promised. read more

Tiana with the purple hair is super sweet and has a very kind personality. She deserves respect and a raise. I love this store and their employees Are always working hard to please their customers. read more

Michaels is my back up in case AC Moore is...um...closed? Well anyways this store is set back a little off rt 28 but its easy to get in and out and has plenty of parking. The actual store is pretty good too, you can always find what you need, typical crafts, yarn, projects ..you know...fun things! read more

I love Michael's Crafts They always have what I need, and they pretty much cover every genre of arts and crafts: stamps, scrap booking, sculpture, painting, drawing, jewelry making, flower arrangement, home decor, kids projects, knitting, etc. I never have to worry that they're not going to have what I'm looking for. Just went there Friday night and they have really good deals on canvases right now. So if you paint, you might want to drop by and stock up while they're still discounted. read more

Natalie was so awesome!! I'm brand new to cross stitching and she walked me through every bit with enthusiasm and patience. Thank you!! Also** every register was open,really fast Che k out. read more

Ordered curbside pick up. Waited over 30 min for someone to bring out my order, even when the girl had just taking care of the car next to me. She knew I was next and never even looked up to ask me my name. I had to call the store three times before someone answered and then waited another 10 minutes for my order. My order was one small bag of two items! read more

Sunday, packed store. Not a single salesperson on the entire floor or framing. 4 girls at register's. One on phone texting with two in line. Manager no where to be found. Get it together. read more

Photo polymers have a shelf life, no one in there knows what they're talking about. I talked to one woman who said they don't order anything until everything zeroes out. Then the manager Frank called me with less than articulate speech, told me the exact opposite. Lack of better judgment here is every day. They sell everything for screenprinting except for the scoop that puts the emulsion on? Explain that, called speedball to find out if they sold or manufactured a emulsion scoop at 10 inches they said no just to use a squeegee, which if anyone had a clue that does not work and you waste emotion, speedball makes tenant screens but they don't make 10inch emulsion scoops, run and go to Hobby lobby, or order from Dickblick.com read more

Have had them frame a ton of pictures and art over the years. Watch out for the weekend 60 to 70% off sales. They are rare but worth it when custom framing. read more

They have most of the arts and craft supplies that you will need for the average ethusiatist. There are craft gift ideas for someone who has a mild hobby in that area. I would go to a speciality shop or shop online for someone with a serious interest in a particular field. read more

if it was possible to give 0 stars i would. the employees literally know nothing, especially the one called "joy". the store is constantly a mess and the lighting is awful, if you want good service and good products go to ac moore or joann fabrics. read more
