I love the headshots I just got printed. The quality is really nice, clean and bright. Thank goodness they print a free "proof print" prior to printing all your images. I had sent the wrong image size and it made the image a much lower quality. They were very patient as I figured out how to get the correct image sent over. And the value is unbeatable for the print quality as well. 10 headshots for $25. Thank you, I will be back for more printing in the future. read more

See all

I don't throw around 5 stars like it's nothing-- this place is AMAZING! If I could give it 12 stars-- I would! As an aspiring actress you need the best looking headshots money can buy-- and that's not just it-- you need them to look just as good, if not better on printed paper as they do on your computer and camera. After printing my headshots at Fedex Kinkos on 7th street-- then getting an immediate refund (the photos came out AWFUL-- over saturated yellows and reds... completely unusable... the manager then blamed me and scolded me for printing multiples without first printing a proof. Uh... Hello-- isn't it your job to make sure your printer is working correctly?) Sorry for the tangent-- anyway-- after that bad experience at Kinko's I went to another printing place-- The Printers on Santa Monica Blvd near the Bundy intersection. Wowza-- what an awful experience-- that one is worth negative stars if it were at all possible. Down on my luck, I went home-- freaking out because I had an agency meeting the next day and not one single headshot to give them. That's when I started google-ing. I came across Prints Charm'n and called the number. I spoke with a guy named Fabian and asked how soon I could have my headshots printed... he said he could try to have them done for me the same day, but he didn't know if it would be possible-- he recommended that I pick them up the morning of my agency meeting at 8:30am-- AN HOUR BEFORE THEY EVEN OPEN-- just to make sure everything looked perfect for my amazing opportunity with the agency. He then had me email over my headshot... just the image. I'm not going to lie-- I was totally freaking out thinking what if this guy forgets-- what if they're awful-- what if he doesn't show up in the morning-- BAAAHHH my opportunity would be squandered and it would be the end of my world (Okay-- I'm a little dramatic-- but seriously-- I was thinking that-- lol). Within an hour he emailed me over 2 proofs with different color backgrounds and my name on the bottom-- then he called me to ensure I got them; he also recommended that I get the black border because it made my photo "pop". Oh my gosh... was this actually a professional?? Uh... I thought I had a winner-- but*** nothing could be certain until I picked up my headshots. 8:30am the following day- I'm en route to pick up my photos-- I get there, and THANK GOD!!!! Fabian was there!!! Okay-- I'm panting now-- how will my headshots turn out?? Fabian handed me the large bag of headshots and they were PERRRRRRRRFFFFFFFEEEEECCCCTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what this miracle worker did, but I looked better on the paper than I did on my actual photo! The colors were perfect, the card stock was perfect-- and for 100 photos it was only $59!!! He even waived the rush fee! This guy was a total life saver. They now have a customer for life-- and that my Yelp friends is something to Yelp! about! read more

Prints Charm'n - Printing Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Couldn't have been nicer! Everyone was so kind and warm! Including the two office yorkies. Also- for all you wayz-ers, the app takes you to their old Sawtelle address. The new one is the one listed on yelp. My headshots turned out great and were formatted and printed while I hung out in the office. This place rules. I'll definitely be back. read more

Fantastic prices, lovely quality, and the owner is a man in a Hawaiian shirt who will tell you corny jokes. I've gone to them for years, and they've gone out of their way -- and above and beyond the call of duty -- to make sure that I was happy with my orders. I love this place, and you hopefully will too! :-) read more

Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of vendors who can do prints on MATTE paper in this ding dang city! But Prints Charm'n can and did about 300+ prints for me (different sizes) within 24 hours. They made a tiny oopsie (forgot to print a few photos) but then fixed it and didn't charge me for the few reprints I had to do anyway. Their customer service is impeccable and I really enjoyed working with them. Plus, it's always nice to give your business to the Mom & Pop vendors that have DECADES of experience. read more

Nobody like saying bad things about NICE PEOPLE. And these are nice people - But this is a business and it's a business that is poorly run, disorganized, with excruciatingly slow customer service. I was told by TWO friends - they would never return because of the SLOW service. (I did share this info with the owners and was still there FOR HOURS) The first time I was there - 90 minutes. The second time - 2 1/2 hours (the owner felt badly and gave me money for meter!). The third time I was there I stopped counting the minutes at 3 1/4 hours (AND while I was being helped the owner asked if the man working with me could cut another order). There is poor communication among the folks working there Screen capture images I paid for were no where on their system and on the computer of the gal who did the capture and she doesn't work there. I was told they would not give me the images that were captured (that I paid to capture) there because AND I QUOTE - "we want you to make all your copies here!" If you go to PrintsCharmn, bring a roll of quarters for the meter, bring a snack and be prepared to waste your entire afternoon while you camp out in a dog urine smelling small area and watch the chaos. read more

Lets be honest, I was very attracted to the name of this place. Very smart, Prints Charm'ng, very smart. But a name doesn't make a business and I wish I just stuck with Pixels for my headshots printing needs, but you know what, learn and let live. The truth is, I LOVE pixels (on melrose), not once have they failed me. What, then, was the reason I tried a new place? I needed Zed cards printed this round instead of headshots and pixels takes 5-7 business days (because they outsource their Zed cards, everything else in printed in store) whereas Prints Charm'ng prints Zed Cards in house and they said I was pick it up in two days. I was sold. However, now that I think about it, considering they print in house, 2 days is very slow. Pixel does same day collection for anything printed in house. Anyways, the first thing that pissed me off about this place is, they literally have no sense of style. The drafts they sent me back were so tacky and just did not look professional. We ended up having to go back and fourth four times till I finally just gave him a sample and told him to follow it exactly. The second thing that annoyed me is how slow they are. Every time we went back and fourth, I'd have to call to see if they got my email and to hurry them. Then, this morning, I went in to look at the proofs (at 1230pm no less, I was promised it would be ready at 9am) and ended up having to wait 20mins because they weren't printed. The finals WERE ready by the end of the day as promised though so I give them that at least. The place smells like dog pee because there are two yorkies that hang out there and the people are nice but a little too chatty and full of bad jokes. I get it, I like friendly people too. But maybe they should focus on getting their business together before they try to chat and be friendly. The Zed cards turned out pretty good, and I got them today as promised (thus the three stars) but will I use them again? Probably not. I mean, if I was prepared to draw out what I wanted exactly (to the last detail) and needed it in a rush, then maybe. But if I wasn't in a rush, I'd definitely go back to pixels. There is just too much competition in LA and no need to go to an average business. read more

best customer service EV-ER. FAMILY owned and run-so knowledgeable - trusted and I think Maxine is THE sweetest lady in Hollywood. A million thanks! check out their new digs on Tennessee lots of parking. read more

OK, so I NEVER use Yelp. EVER! I am making it my mission to get this company (Prints Charm'n, Inc.) recognized because of the AMAZING experiences I have had with them. Maxine and Fabian were the two people that helped me today. As far as I can tell this is a "mom and pop shop." However, personal attention, an affordable price and expedited service needs no high rise views or fancy lobby. This place is simply FANTASTIC. I arrived at the store today at 2:50pm. There is no free parking, only metered since they are on Sawtelle. I parked 3 blocks away in neighborhood parking and walked to save the $2. Maxine asked me 3 times if I had money in the meter because she didn't want me getting a $50 ticket. WOW, thanks for being so concerned for your customers wallet. More companies should operate this way. I came with a jump drive with my headshot ready to print. I needed a boarder set up and my name added at the bottom. FREE OF CHARGE they say. It's already included in the price. I wanted the smallest package they offer which is 10 pics for $15. That's $1.50 per headshot. Perfect deal for me because I only needed a few of a new shot. They grabbed my image, set it with the boarder and name, printed a proof for my approval all within 3 minutes. 3 MINUTES! I approved and sat down to chat with Maxine (The owner). We talked about how business had been lately. She said, "December was the worst month we have ever had in 25 years of business." I understood because it's the end of the year and Pilot season starts in January. She mentioned that she had offered $.79 per printed photo with no limits on quantity because they were hurting so badly. I couldn't believe my ears. I would have been here a month ago and bought more if I had know. Regardless, I suggested a few advertising techniques such as facebook and twitter and by the time our 5 minute conversation was over, guess what? My prints were ready, credit card charged, receipt and a discount card for my next purchase given and I was on my way. The time was 3:01pm. That's ELEVEN MINUTES! Totall!!! In and out of the store in just about 10 minutes and only spent $16.31 with tax included. This place is awesome and EVERYONE I know is going to be informed. Thanks Prints Charm'n Inc. , Maxine and Fabian. Great Job!!! read more

Ran into this place in a rush before an audition......easy to get metered parking (be careful with the Culver City meter-maids though!!!) I walked in & felt like I was in someone's headshot den/cottage. Every employee welcomes you and makes you feel comfortable and at home. The best part about this place? The amazing individual attention. Jeff will really take his time to make your headshot appear up to your standards....its amazing. They give you accurate wait times and printing times. If you have a small order, you won't be waiting for more than 15 minutes.......even if you do end up waiting longer than usual, you will enjoy your time here. read more

Prints Charm'n is the fastest, cheapest, most amusing print shop in all of Los Angeles! Not only do they work closely with you so you walk away with exactly what you ask for (and then some - they are down to get creative), but they do it all WHILE YOU WAIT, at practically NO COST, and with a heavy dose of hilarious banter to go along with it - a winning combination that puts a smile on your face as you walk out that door, freshly-printed headshots in hand. Needless to say, I will be back for more... and you should too! read more

Prints Charm'n is the BOSS...especially if you live on the westside. 100 headshots printed for $100 in 20 minutes w/ no setup fee. why did i ever make 3 trips up to Hollywood to get my headshots from Argentum...? i guess it's cause i'm dum... read more

Meant to write a review several months ago when I got my new headshots printed. They came out beautifully - the people in the office were friendly and nice - and they had an online coupon which was a great moneysaver. I just went back last week and had postcards printed and got the same excellent service and wonderful product (no online coupon though :-( read more

These guys are top notch when it comes to photo printing. I placed an entire order by email and phone, and then they mailed me the photos, so I didn't have to spend gas money going out to them. Their online ordering is really simple, all you have to do is upload your photo and specify any retouching you need, and they send you a proof sample before they charge you anything. Their prices are also extremely reasonable compared to other printing companies, and when you throw in the added convenience of shipping and online ordering, they are definitely worth it. I will use them again for my next bulk photo order. read more

Found this place thanks to Yelp. I never would have gone inside otherwise, as the exterior is weird and window-less, like a strip club minus the creepy dude in a suit. But, glad I did. I just needed some travel photos enlarged, cropped and printed. Fabian did a great job, everyone there was super friendly, and the price was very reasonable. He even did more than I intended, changed some brightness and contrast around and really made the photos "pop". The place seems built on personal relationships and service, and if I have a second life as an actor I'm coming here for head shots. Speaking of head shots, the walls are covered with them, so there's something to look at while you wait... read more

Great service, very professional. Had a great time at the shop. Everyone was very nice and professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs head shots printed. Not your average hollywood feel. Very down to earth and comfortable. I will be getting all of my prints done here from now on. read more

Prints Charm'n - The Shop - Printing Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

went to print charming to get retouch and prints, expecting to have to wait a few days to get them, but no. The owner Lan ( hope that's how you spell it ) had them printed before I left, total shock. Great guy to chat with. had to go back for an adjustment he made them and i'm 100% happy with the retouch, price, and speed. will be coming back when more prints are needed. thanks Lan or Lon lol. read more

Dope spot. Good and fast customer service. If your an actor that just needs a few prints of a specific look this is the spot.

I love these guys--they're always so helpful and sweet, and the quality is just outstanding. I've never even needed to get proofs because they simply just always look so good, and I can trust that to be consistent. I love that it's a family business, and am so happy to support that. By the way, I had to get some prints done and was very pinched with time, but they were having internet trouble, so they helped me out by sending me to Carlos in their Studio City location. He helped me set everything up and sent the stuff over on the drive that they have go down to the West LA store at the end of each business day, which is their main shop (that's why there's no while-you-wait service in Studio City). Everyone at Prints Charm'n is so great, the quality is so fantastic, and the price is so right--why would I go anywhere else?? read more

Fantastic experience! Couldn't be happier with my headshots. They are super helpful while you sit down with them to prepare your set-up (FREE, I must say) and borders. They also provide test proofs prior to printing. The price is super affordable for such great quality prints! I was out of there in no more than 20 minutes for 20 headshots at $30! They can also print your resume on 8 x 10 paper for only $.15 a copy! Highly recommended. I now have a go-to place for awesome headshot prints! read more

I've been going to Prints Charm'n for the past year and I love this place! The staff is super helpful and friendly and truly try to make sure that you're happy with the product. They also do resume printings! read more

I went to Prince Charm'n the other day to get some headshots printed and I've never had a more pleasant experience. The service was quick and attentive and I was not only impressed with the experience the couple provides, but I was entertained by their two cute little terrier's. I even got to feed them! All in all I came out very happy with my prints and walked in to someone helping me right away. The gentlemen let me see a few option before printing and I was in and out in a matter of 25 minutes or so. I really appreciate their service and would definitely return for more prints in the future! read more

This is a great place to get your headshots printed! They are friendly, quick and affordable!

This place is great!! If you need a couple of headshots in a jiffy Prints Charm'n is the Bizness!!! THe couple that runs it are sooo sweet with really cute little terrier dogs to greet you. The headshot prints are of nice quality. If they arent busy you're in and out headshots in hand within 15 mins. or less. They even make sure you feed your meter!!!!! With casting being done online these days, this is my one and only stop now for a handful of headshots. read more

Very friendly folks. I got a ton of pictures printed for a reasonable price and Brandon took time to make sure I was happy with the crop when reducing my photos. Whole process took 45 mins. I was able to get street parking easily both times. 15 mins per quarter. The quality of one of my prints wasn't as good as the others. No fault of theirs but I think I would preferred to be told it's not going to come out great. Only reason for 4 stars vs. 5. I'm thinking folks who had to wait hours must've come on the weekend. I would recommend week day before 3p if you're doing While U Wait services. read more

Prints Charm'n is the GO TO place for getting headshots and resumes printed. Both times I've used them they have been extremely quick as getting back to me, and have had my prints needed on the same day. They will even email a proof of the final copy before printing anything. Last but certainly not least they are the kindest staff! While they've been in business for years they are not pretentious. And I should note that when I was trying to staple my headshot and resume together they showed me a trick, so I wouldn't have to staple them and they looked perfect. You'll just have to go find out for yourself what that trick is :) read more

A friendly nice couple owns and runs the place. However, the quality of their prints are poor, and their printer is low quality. It makes the prints too red and blurry. It's not the image either-- The black name text (selected in Photoshop as Hex: #000000) on the bottom of the headshots is red and blurry with what looks like a haze around the text. In addition, the printer prints out a very thin black border around the headshots as a guide for them to cut them down to a 8x10. They did a sloppy job on all the cutting--cutting beyond the border so the black border was visible on the final headshot. I have a paper slicer, but when it is such a thin sliver of paper that needs to be cut off, it is very difficult to trim in a straight line. What I had to do was cut the headshots down further to get a clean cut, which made them smaller. Honestly, you can make much cheaper and higher quality prints at home from an inexpensive photo inkjet printer and satin photo paper. read more

I'm a brand new actor and today was the first day I've gone to print out my 8x10 head shots. They were fast, friendly, and efficient. I only got 10 printed for now and I was in and out of there within 15 minutes. I'm definitely coming back for sure. I live in Orange County but am obviously always in LA for auditions and work so I'll be stopping by before or after to get more copies made. I highly recommend them. read more

Brandon was very helpful! Prices are very fair and you can get your headshot the same day. Get all my headshots printed with them. Great Prints! read more

Very good service through and through from Jeff today. This place is charming in of itself and the two dogs roaming around warmed my heart. I just loved everything about my visit here despite the fact that I did not end up getting my photos printed here due to a size restriction. Thanks, Jeff! read more

This is how it went down: 1. I walk in. Lon immediately sits down with me and sets up my headshots. He gives me font, placement, and border choices, but also offers his professional opinion. He bears with me while I ask him to endlessly switch between the two fonts I'm deciding between. NO SET-UP FEE. 2. Lon prints test shot. It looks good. He prints finals. 3. I pay $30 plus tax for 20 headshots (came out to $32- something). 4. Maxine asks me where I'm going to print my resume (which needs to not only be printed but also cut down to 8x10 size). I say "FedEx, I guess." 5. She says "Let's look them up. I'll do it for you for a better price." I call FedEx and get a quote. 6. She and Lon give me a much better price; print and cut 20 copies. 7. I pay, leave, get home. 8. I get a call. It's Max: "We just wanted to let you know that your phone number is wrong on your resume and that you left your USB stick here!" I'm embarrassed to have made such a ridiculous, careless mistake. "It's ok, sweetie, don't worry about it," she consoles. 9. I go back, reprint the resumes, and leave satisfied. Other notes: a) Yes, as everyone else says, they remind you a billion times to check your meter. Much appreciated! b) This is a husband-wife run business, and you WILL hear a lot of playful banter and sometimes dare I say...minor quarreling? But it's loving, and you just have to take it in stride and appreciate the entertainment. They are very sweet, personable, and funny! c) And yes, everything looks fab. read more

I needed my headshots printed the same day for an unexpected audition, I looked around and found Prints Charm'nm. They have been in business for 30 years! I sent them an email and immediately had a proof for me. I loved it. After I paid over the phone I went down to pick them up. Scott was very cool and helped me out with my resume too! Great customer service and now I'm a life long customer. Argentum who? LOL! I also liked their pups who hung out with me while they printed my pics. Thank you SCOTT!!!! YOU ROCK!!!! read more

What can I say?! As an LA Actor/Singer it's almost impossible to be 100% prepared at all times for every opportunity that comes your way. These folks have ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS come through for me with lovely quality prints at a moment's notice. read more

These guys are so nice and fast. And cheaper than anyone else out there. They've been around since the '80s and know what's up. I just got ten prints in under half an hour for $15. What?! And that included everything. Great quality paper too. read more

Super nice staff! Just a head's up-- there are two little yorkies that guard the entrance to the store. They keep their distance and even got friendly with me after a while! However, they are very loud and even sound unwelcoming so if you're not prepared for it when you first walk in, you may be turned off. Ultimately, the staff was very patient with me and took lots of time to make sure I was happy with my headshots. I ended up not purchasing any the day I went in there because I was unhappy with the shot I selected (my fault, not theirs!) but even so, the owner was so nice and helped educate me on what might be a better choice. Even though I didn't buy anything, he gave me the two samples he printed for free. I will be back to print when I'm ready! read more

This is place is great! Affordable, quick, and easy. Absolutely had a woderful experience. The owner's are great. I'll make sure to head back for all of my printing needs in the future. read more

Very nice. And friendly. Went in. Went out. Took 10 minutes. Will keep coming back. Prices are fair especially for the turn around time. Super helpful in helping me set everything up. Shots came out great. read more

These guys are great. Came in with a picture and the file was corrupted somehow and they spent an hour trying to fix it on their own making phone calls and trying to figure out how to get it to print. These guys are solid. I've been here several times now, and really don't need to ever look for another place. The pictures they print are of great quality as well and they give you a proof before they print just so you can see what you're getting. 5 stars! read more
