The tireless people working there are so kind, so caring; And, even during these times of supply-chain uncertainty, their artistic creativity allowed them to frame 5 original pieces of art painted by the Pharmacist who also served as the Father of the family that housed me in Segovia, Spain during (and after) my Semester Abroad. Sure, the cost of the work done was not costly. But the people at "Philanthropic Phil's" spared no time (or self-expense) in providing me with frames that would long hold the art that fills my heart with priceless memories. Thank you.

Real quality cutting of mats. And a great range of glass, too. John has always been unfailingly helpful - calm, painstaking, careful. You could probably get a slightly disreputable weekend in Cancún for less than what a mid-sized framing job can cost here. On the other hand, if you've got the moolah (and the good taste) and need to bring out the most in a really special piece, John and his staff will turn it out for you in style. Not your everyday framers, not your everyday budget (or at least not mine, even in BH), and not your everyday quality. Top of the range. And better value for your Pictures of Dead Presidents than that weekend in Cancún, probably.

STAY AWAY from Charles' Custom Picture Framing!!…read more If I could put zero stars instead of one, I would for the dishonesty!! I sell art, and one of my pieces was advertised as already framed in a two-inch-wide black lacquered frame, but it had scratches and wasn't suitable for my sale. To meet my customer's request to keep the same size and uphold my own standards, I decided to have it reframed. After calling several framers who didn't have the exact size, I finally found Charles' Custom Picture Framing. Charles, the owner, assured me over the phone that he had a two-inch shiny black lacquered frame and could customize it for my piece. When I went to pick it up, the frame looked smaller than two inches, so I asked him to measure it. It turned out to be only 1¾ inches wide, not the two inches I paid for. When I brought this up, he insisted I had seen it beforehand and offered no empathy or solution. I was charged $382 for a two-inch frame, which is a lot of money for a frame that didn't even include glass or plexiglass, and received something smaller than promised. Because of this, I may lose my sale. This experience felt dishonest, unprofessional, and disappointing. I would not recommend Charles' Custom Picture Framing to anyone.

In April of 2026, I made an appointment to come to the Frame Store on Beverly Boulevard, near West…read moreHollywood. What did I want framed? Well, it's a beautiful cross stitch tapestry on which I had spent two years' worth of work. When I made the appointment I asked Britney if they ever worked with fabric. She replied, "Oh, we do fabric all the time," which really set me at ease. When I reached the Frame Store, I admired the vast quantities of natural light. Sam was at the counter, and he started our appointment right on time. Sam was warm and approachable, and best of all in my eyes, as soon as he saw my tapestry, he appreciated its value. When it came time for selections and choices, Sam offered helpful and clear explanations. He pointed to examples of fabric framing within the store, which were all clean and flat and presented beautifully. He pointed out different types of glass which would protect the delicate fabric. He had his own opinions led by experience, but he was not too pushy. This is not an inexpensive proposition, but I got excellent results for the price I paid. His estimate of the piece's completion was spot on: it was complete in a timely manner, and the finish is absolutely impeccable. I am so happy with the work. I would recommend Frame Store to anyone.

I bought an Ed Ruscha lithograph from Gemini G.E.L. for my husband's 40th birthday, and Ayn…read moreGrinstein of Gemini brought the piece directly to Art Services on Melrose. She works with this frame shop regularly, and I got a hefty discount thanks to that relationship. I met Ayn at Art Services, where the framer already had the lithograph laid out, with a game plan prepared for the job. He recommended a light wood frame, which was perfect, and walked me through the different glass options. I went with some expensive museum quality glass and I honestly think it was worth it. One of our first friends to see the lithograph immediately commented on the glass, which looks almost invisible and lets the colors of the piece come through unobstructed. There was no sly upsell energy from the people here. In fact, when I asked about a painting I had at home, they recommended against framing it because it had an interesting border. Art Services specializes in framing art, and this was apparent from the enormous number of pieces around the shop, waiting to be framed. I kind of felt like I was visiting a gallery. I even saw another Ruscha. The job took two weeks, shorter than I'd expected. I got an email letting me know my piece was ready, and when I went to pick it up, someone ran it out to me outside so I didn't have to deal with parking. (Art Services has parking, but only a couple of spots.) The whole process was super easy and pleasant, and I've been quite satisfied with the end result. I'm glad we used Art Services and would be happy to go back for future framing needs.
