I'm usually not so long-winded with my Yelp reviews, but I had reserved a chunk of my afternoon for…read morea visit to this store, so I clearly have plenty of time on my hands right now... I discovered General Wax earlier this year when I thought candle making would be a fun hobby. I brought a friend along to their North Hollywood location for what was advertised as an educational class. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like a class much at all but more like an activity. The 'instructor' claimed to sell her own candle creations, yet seemed surprisingly unknowledgeable. Our group was outspoken and asked lots of questions, but she was incredibly vague and nonchalant. When asked basic technical questions like how different fragrances react with specific waxes or how to choose the right wax for a project, she couldn't even provide clear answers. I really didn't learn much of anything at this paid class. (Fyi, I turned to YouTube!) The store itself is spacious and well organized, but be very careful with their pricing. I've found that many of their supplies are significantly marked up compared to local craft stores or Amazon. For example, I bought a digital scale here that turned out to be a non-functioning and non-reliable piece of trash. After some research, I realized they charged me three times more than better models available online. Thankfully, I was able to return it. Their fragrance selection and quality is mostly great and I do like their wax. The staff doesn't go out of their way to help but are approachable and friendly. What prompted this review today was a total lack of communication regarding their hours. I checked their website before leaving my house to ensure they were open. The only holiday closure banner on their website was for a holiday that happened months ago (labor day). After a 40-minute drive, I arrived to find the gates closed. I had to pull over and call, only to hear a recording stating they are closed for the next 10 days for holidays and inventory. It's incredibly irritating to waste that much time and gas because a business can't be bothered to update their website. Honestly, it shows that they don't really value their customers or their time.

We really enjoyed the experience and the instructor was friendly and answered everyone's questions. We received a coupon to purchase things after the class so I have supplies and new skills to make some candle gifts! Plenty of parking! Enjoy!

I don't know if you believe in casting a spell or not, but I DO!!. Speaking from my own experience…read more Have been to a place like this one few years back in Santa Monica City by the beach/pier and whatever that lady said was nothing but the truth. On the 16th of this month, after I had Taco Bell, I have noticed this quaint, lovely, somewhat gothic, clean place and wanted to go in and see if they could be some sort of help to me. I have been feeling uncomfortable for the past year and a half. Wanted to know if someone has done a spell on me or not; and if they could remove the spell? Sure enough when it was my turn to sit on that chair, the young lady, (can't remember her name), said yes, 2 of your family members has done a spell on you, but was not able to tell me who they were. Not even their gender. I was shocked and got choked up. She relaxed me by giving me cup of water. This is a very unique store/shop with a lot of things to offer: jewelry, Tarot cards, scented and non scented candles, herbs of different kinds, incense blends, charm begs, essential oils, different colors, sizes and types of beautiful crystal rocks/balls. I was blown away by the selection of all of their items. Everything had it's own valuable price and looked clean, nice and new. They have street parking, woman owned, and didn't see a bathroom. I was also told that I should come at least 3 to 5 more times so they can work on me. I will definitely take action and go back.They accept most credit cards and cash. Didn't buy anything but was worth giving this shop a try..you can either make an appointment or simply walk in... Whether you are Christin, Buddhist, Spiritualist, or belong to any other religion.. all are welcome. Established back in 2017!

I love walking those few blocks. Parking is easy usually. But the day I went I walked in and wasn't greeted once. I was going to ask for help, but in the 20-30 minutes I was in there, the person behind the counter was chatting with a friend about various things the whole time. I wandered the whole place and didn't get acknowledged at all. Even when the friend left. It was odd, especially in a place like that. Every other spiritual and witchy place in the area I'm always helped out. I ended up getting a couple crystals. I wanted to get more by the vibe just wasn't it. They had a ton of stuff to choose from. Wide array of all things - crystals, books, cards, candles, spell magic, etc. I also got a mojo bag. But I unfortunately don't think I'll be going back.

And always cleanse whatever you buy.

I felt like I was transported to a plain of positivity when we entered Stay Home Friend. This store has merchandise from local artists, creators and designers. Books, greeting cards, jewelry, candles and so much more! The cashier was a friendly woman who told us about her brother that's a scuba diver in Florida. I fell in love with the sterling silver Leo earrings. I had to buy them! There were other zodiac signs as well. I might return and buy them for my friends and family as their birthday gifts. This place is AWESOME! I highly recommend you swing by and support local artists.

I do think my husband finds it a sure thing when it's my birthday. I completely disagree that there's any sense of hate in this store, come on this is Burbank and it's kinda liberal, no surprises there.

This shop has beautiful clothing, jewelry, kitchenware, scarves, hats, crossbody bags, candles, and much more.

I wound up purchasing a beautiful scented candle and also a lovely dish with a bluebird painted on it. All told, my retail therapy didn't even cost me $40! Scentsabilities is a very reasonably priced shop. It was nice to chat with Nan for a little bit, as she's very kind. She also gave my pug a little treat, which made his day. I highly recommend browsing this store, especially if you don't know what you want, but want something beautiful. You will come away happier than when you walked in.

There is a nice grouping of eclectic items and you can pretty much find something for anyone and lots for yourself. I met the owner one of the times I went and she was super nice and helpful.

There aren't too many small businesses left these days and I think it's really important to try to support them if we can so if you are reading this and considering a shopping trip- SHOP HERE.

I visited their shop when I was failing the plants that I had gotten from them during my company's earth day event. The succulent had gotten mealy bugs, so Tansy kept the plant to treat it. The other one had gotten fungus gnats, so they re-potted it. They not only sell plants, but help nurse any plants you have back to health. They don't just have plants and supplies in their shop, they have lots of other non-plant items that are great as gifts. I also purchased a journal from them. They have a cute coffee cart and outdoor seating area in the front, and have different events they produce. Really building a community around their shop.

There are many offerings at this place, from spiritual rituals to drum circle events; the list goes on. Fun fact: I was actually into the black magic and witchcraft when I was a teenager and so this store is going to be handy for me. The staff can also create special crafts and spells depending on what you are seeking help with. They also offer psychic reading and healing sessions. Inquire with them for further details. This past Saturday, the store was a bit crowded, and inside, it is quite smaller. But I was able to browse around patiently and ended up buying a few items myself. I saw "evil eye" pendants, keychains, necklaces. I purchased a "cleansing kit" which included: sage bundle, palo santo (missing in my bag) selenite and a black and white chime candles. I also brought home a black tourmaline pendant to repel and protect against negativity. They even have scene photos from the movie "Obsession" with a clear statement that the one wish willow is "SOLD OUT" So many candles, journals, incenses and mini statues of Greek gods/goddesses were displayed as well. I even saw a mini voodoo doll. I was quite impressed by how much this store offers and I look forward to coming back here soon and continuing to explore their items. Their website is very informative and goes into detail as far as what they have to offer.
