His wife was very sweet. However, not the case for Stan. I brought Stan 2 of my 12-string acoustics…read morefor basic setups, which included changing strings, inspecting for repairs needed, etc. He was friendly at first, until i had to bring back the 1st one he finished... one of the tuning pegs was totally loose and rattling - it was not that way before I brought it to him. He insisted that he "did not cause that," and that I brought it to him that way. He then proceeded to argue with me while his tone became more and more condesceding and confrontational. I couldn't get him to understand that even if I DID bring it to him that way... it was there for him to fix it, not just return it to me the same way. It was such a ridiculous conversation. Needless to say I went along with his tirade and paid additional money for him to replace parts, since I needed it back asap. Also, I brought him a specific brand/guage strings to use. Since he had to "re-do" the service and "remove/replace strings" to do his additional repairs... he apparently used some other strings he had in his store when he re-strung it, because the sound and playability is noticably different. Totally unprofessional and horrific customer service skills. Sad they are the only option up here in Yucca. I will be driving down the hill for future services needed.

I could not recommend this experience more! I signed up my boyfriend's son for a 'Daddy & Me' clay…read moreclass (ages 0-6), and it was absolutely wonderful. Gretchen let him choose what he wanted to make, then guided him through each step, resulting in an adorable Christmas tree that could also functions as a night light. The pricing is an incredible value for the time, care, and one-on-one attention provided during the class. Gretchen also did a fantastic job of asking thoughtful questions to give him the space to explore his creativity, while still offering support. It was such a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Our family LOVES 29 Palms Creative Center and Ms. Gretchen. We found this place when we moved to 29…read morePalms after losing our home suddenly in LA. It was a time our life was disrupted and things were very hard for my son. He loves art and we tried 29PCC in hopes it would bring him joy and it brought us so much more. We are now living much farther away but make the 1.5 hr trip back for art class when we can. Just last night my son said, "Mommy, I miss Ms. Gretchen!" And I figured it was time to leave a review! Ms. Gretchen has a beautiful way of letting him be him, fully. My son is level 1 autistic, plus very shy at times because of lack of socialization due to a rare disease that keeps him in the house a lot. But when with Ms. Gretchen, none of behaviors are challenging, none of his behaviors need to be adapted - she is so loving and accepting in a way that allows him to feel cared for amd safe. To love and care from a distance in the way that she does is such a strong quiet power and we are grateful to know and to have the opportunity to continue returning to 29 Palms Creative Center. Also, the entire place is a gorgeous adventure. I find something new and delightful to look at every time we go. Forever grateful

I had such a great experience with Laurel. I must've called 15 seamstresses in the Palm Springs…read morearea and asked if they would return a dress to me within a week and was told no. I called Laurel and she had me come in the next day. She made alterations to two dresses within a week. The third dress I brought her was a bit of a project that I needed back in 5-6 weeks. She helped me envision a new life for the dress. She cut the sleeves, lowered the neckline, made gloves from the sleeves, etc. It turned out so stunning. She is a dream to work with and worth every penny.

I had a short window to get my dress altered for my son's wedding and she did an amazing job!read more

Booked a painting class w/Beth for a friend's birthday. We had such a great time! We drank wine and…read morelistened to music while we painted while Beth instructed. She was so patient and really encouraged us to have fun and to be creative to make the picture our own. Definitely recommend one of her classes to anyone whether you're an amateur or much more advanced. Booking with her again next time we're up the mountain.

I found myself needing some last minute art supplies and found this fantastic studio and Beth!…read more Don't be disillusioned by the small space- there are various art supplies, not limited to but including gauche, paint markers and pens (which I bought after Beth introduced me to them) , as well as paper and canvases. I love that she is sharing her love of art and teaches as well (one on one and groups)- it is obvious she would be a fun teacher! Fantastic person and shop! I am so glad I have a place to go for supplies and creative inspiration!!!!!

Sitting for Mr. Rodgers at Unfurled was such a delightful experience…read more I customized one of their previous flash designs with an axolotl. They were super willing to listen to my ideas and saw my vision. The art turned out amazing and the price didn't break the bank. Plus they helped finish some fun hand work that I'd been wanting to complete. I loved how inclusive the space was and I felt very comfortable the entire time. It was an all around relaxing experience and a great way to commemorate a trip to the desert. I can't wait for the next one!!

My daughter contacted the Palm Springs Air Museum Pipe Band to find a bagpiper to play at our 50th…read morewedding anniversary event. Joel Daniel was our bagpiper. What a treat!!! People who liked the bagpipe and those who weren't keen all totally enjoyed Joel. He was a great musician, entertaining, better than expected. Our party was in the back yard. He arrived at the front door in his full regalia and began playing as he walked through our house and into the back yard. I almost cried it was so perfect. What a fun addition to an event. My husband and I are both Scottish and his brother was attending who is really big into bagpipes so needless to say, it was so fun. Joel is very nice and personable. We found out later that he also plays a multitude of instruments and types of music besides the bagpipe. Definitely worth considering if you are having an event and want to add some pizzaz to it.

I was looking for a beautiful arrangement to send to my aunt after my grandma passed away. I found…read moreAdele's Designs and checked out their website. Unfortunately the arrangement with a live Peace Lilly was not available. I called and left a message. Carmen Called me right back. She put together an absolutely beautiful plant, delivered it within a few days (even with the Valentine's Day rush) and the price was more reasonable than the competition. She even texted me a photo of the finished arrangement and called when no one was home and had to leave it on the porch. I couldn't have been happier!!!! I recommend that people go to Adele's FIRST!
