I had bought couple of pictures in the past and they both needed to be framed. I don't like when pictures are hanging around and getting dirty and dusty. They must be put in frames and frames usually go on your walls. Walked in maybe like 3 days ago and needed to get both pictures framed. Chose the color, style of frames and the employee wrote down the information on the form. Service is impeccable, excellent and hands on. Shop is very clean and welcoming. I chose 18x24 frames for both of my pictures. Got a call today that both pictures were ready to be picked up. Affordable prices and you get what you pay for!! Fast Frame truly cares about their customers. They do expert custom framing and will turn everything into work of art. For a minute you feel like you are in an ART GALLERY!! They have many different options, frames, mattes; and, they use high quality materials. Thank you Montel, Fast Frame, staff, for your great service, loyalty over the years. Will definitely come back next time I need your services!

I hate leaving bad reviews for any small business but because this happened 4X with the owner, it…read moremust be done. First time I called and asked for prices on a specific framing need I had, the employee on the phone gave me very detailed pricing since I needed a canvas stretched and framed. 1 price for the stretching, 1 price for the framing. And 1 price for framing with my own wood material (since I have my own from a wood shop closing sale.) With that said I was pleased with the price I was given and came to the shop. The owner greeted us and gave us an entirely different price that I was given !!! Which I had written on a paper. Mind you we gave the same exact dimensions on the phone. So we ended up paying more after a long argument which left us extremely frustrated and perplexed. Fast forward back to the following week when I had another painting that needed to be framed with my own material. Called ahead to get a price. $50 for cut. Then I ask for installation of the frame. Employee said it was included in the cut. Happy with that, I arrived to the shop to be greeted by once again, the owner. And yes you already know what's gonna happen. A DIFFERENT PRICE AGAIN!!! Argument began and the employee on the phone confirms what he told us and yet the owner still gave us a different price which ended up being $110 !!!! Said the price was just for cut only. I told him he charged me a cut/installation fee last time of $40 for a separate small painting and he ignored it like it never happened. Literally with the receipt in hand. 3rd time my friend needed a frame and since he's the closest he decided to go there but I warned him about the owner so he called ahead and go a pricing.. Yup.. Happened again. Owner increased the price regardless of what was said on the phone. And the 4th time. My friend had to frame and stretch a painting so he called and the son answered. Went thru the whole detailed because we knew what would happen. Go all the pricing written down and everything included. Showed up. The owner was there. Gave us a complete different price. We called out the son which was in the back. He confirmed the price that was given to us on the phone. Yet the owner did not want to agree to it !!!! Unbelievable!!! The owner needs to be transparent about prices and if you ever call ahead. Ask for name of person on the call, Record the conversation because he will do this again and again and again. Lost a lot of business because of his behavior because at this point that's just gonna keep happening and I'm not having it any more.

He picked the perfect frame style for the artwork and I was pleasantly surprised at the incredible selection of options. It's been a while since I had any art framed and had forgotten how great it is to have a professional take care of it. The pricing is more than fair and the turnaround time was reasonable! They are quite busy, I assume because of their incredible service and competitive pricing. We also had a matte cut custom for another piece. Parking was easy to find as well. I highly recommend Square Deal!

Very disappointing experience. I placed my canvas order only yesterday afternoon , and by this…read moremorning it was already "finished." When I saw the work, I was shocked by how sloppy, rushed, and low quality it looked. This was not professional work and not something any business should hand to a customer. I explained that I was unhappy with the quality and asked for my money back because I could not use this canvas for my client. Instead of trying to fix the problem, they refused and kept saying, "This is how we do it," and that they already spent time, labor, and materials on it. They acted like there was nothing wrong with the work at all. What made the experience even worse was the attitude and disrespect. Instead of helping or apologizing, I was told to leave the store. I also took photos of the canvas so people can judge the quality for themselves. I would not recommend this place if you expect professionalism, quality workmanship, or respectful customer service.

Carter Sexton Artist Materials is located in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley within the Valley Village/Studio City area and resides on Laurel Canyon Boulevard/just a beat down from Chandler Blvd and the Laurel Canyon Metro Station for the Orange (aka G) line. It's got lots of fun nooks and crannies with great materials, supplies, service and sales (including 40% off, clearance items and more). It was easy for me to follow a lot of their played out pricing for canvas (10 years in retail, though it's been almost 10 years since I walked away from it and yet still retain so much lol). I ventured into the "Come (On) In" area and discovered some complimentary artist guides, incredible artwork and extra items I was seeking for a sketching event I hosted over the weekend. Love coming in on Saturdays, though it's been several months since I was last in, hoping to change that, check out more of their events, including some great some shows this holiday season like their Medley. I don't have much to submit by their deadline, but highly recommend you do if you're an artist, aspiring artist or creative. They definitely are neighborhood feel with some cool regulars. Caught some warming interactions and references to Cheers (the 80s to early 90s series) between the staff and a really nice returning customer. I'm not sure if Kelli was there when I stopped in, but I've had some greatest response with her in the past online when inquire about things. Everyone is super knowledgeable, mindful and respectful. Ready to assist, but also let you take your time exploring and feeling out all they have to offer. Street parking primarily with a 1hour limit from 8am to 6pm. Some limited spaces in their back alley parking, that I'm sure is super great for their staff/ the Carter Sexton family. Its first come first serve, but you might get lucky. Open from 10am to 6pm Monday through Saturday weekly with some variations for holidays. A must whether a local, passing through or seeking out a small biz to support that does great things for the area, and showcasing a spotlights artists of all walks of lives and ages. Even Bob Ross on display wants you to check out this great supportive Art spot. "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."

Quite honestly, the framing orders I have with her are the best I've ever seen. Her vast array of frames offer so many possibilities. When I enter her shop, my creative instincts take over and I'm glad to be back. Sometimes I give her artworks that were previously framed by someone else. She has my consent to take the frames and mats apart. With her plethora of frame options and her expert handling, these pictures look noticeably better. There are many other framers out there, but no one takes care of my artworks like Cathy does. Enough said.

I didn't even know the artist's name, but Lynne's eye and passion for art made the impossible happen. I was lucky enough to purchase the piece directly from the artist, and naturally brought it to Decor Art Galleries for framing. The result is a stunning, elegantly framed work I've been longing to reclaim for years. I'm so grateful to Lynne for her kindness, intuition, and love of art and local history. She helped me pick the perfect frame with matching textures and highlights and the entire process was efficient and joyful. I highly recommend working with her and her lovely staff, Decor Art Galleries is a treasure!

Lynne has an immense collection of photos that anyone can find appreciation in. We came to her looking specifically for old photographs of the Hollywood and West Hollywood area. After selecting two prints, we used Lynne's custom framing services and have to say they're a real treat and always a conversation starter when people come to our home. We also had a historic California state flag framed and the outcome was incredible. We had no idea how to go about framing a flag since it needs adhesive to be held in place. She took care of everything. Regarding pricing, we did the framing almost two years ago and I neither recall it being expensive nor cheap. In all honesty though, the framing came out so immaculate that we were happy to pay for the quality. Not sure why it took us this long to write a review but just wanted to make this place known since it's a real gem in Studio City.

As those of us are familiar with arts & crafts, then we should know what to expect and what to buy. They have many selections of many things in their inventory. Prices change/varies every now and then; but, do have affordable discounted prices on a lot of their stuff. For instance I got 2 frames today for a great deal. One frame 9X12 & the the other one 16X20 & 8X10. The 1st one was $12.99 & the big one was $19.99. W/out tax. I needed some beads for decorative reasons and couldn't find any that I liked. In color and in style. During their Holiday Seasons they are fully stocked and all aisles are bursting with cheerful, happy colors, flowers, brands and more.. if you are not quick to grab what you need, it will be too late. Overall, not a bad experience, but they can for sure step up to the plate and help out their customers when we need help. I have had 2 pictures framed at their framing department in the past; and, they did an excellent job. So thank you for that! Clean store, restrooms in the far back, also clean, and plenty of parking spaces shared with number of businesses. Located on the 2nd level right above Marshalls. Take the elevator or the escalator up/down. What goes up, must come down!:-)

THEN, HE FOUND ME IN THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STORE HOLDING THE ONES THAT I WANTED, AS WELL AS ANOTHER SIMILAR ONE. I told him that I did like one, and I went with him to get some more. During this time, he is also making funny remarks and keeping up banter. Bill is the type of guy that makes people feel like they have known him forever. I say this because I also saw his interaction with another customer. Thank you, Bill, for going out of your way to help with a big project of mine!
