My friend has a cabin in Big Bear so when we went up last month, we found this gem of a place while…read morewalking around! It's a small store with an area for custom candle making where the owner, Chrystel, will walk you through the process of selecting scents and colors for your candle. Us girls were completely drawn to the premade soaps which resemble slices of colorful bread. They smelled HEAVENLY and there were a few diff scents on the shelves. Soaps were $5 each and at first I was a bit hesitant, but Chrystel told us that everything is hand-made with natural & extremely hydrating ingredients (ex. shea butter, etc... *I can't remember all the ones she listed as its been so long so I'll have to give an update next time*)!! Honestly, the soaps smell so nice that I ended up rationing my treasured soap slice. Luckily, my friend went up last week and picked me up another one!! From what my friend told me, the owner is super flexible and if we call in before we head up, she'll custom make lotions and things for you! Would make for cute customizable gifts as well!

So disappointed in this place I used to love bringing my…read morekids here to paint But the last experience has been HORRIBLE from start to finish. Customer service has really gone downhill. It all started when I made an appointment online at 11am when we got here nobody was here or answering the phone finally after over 1.5 hours I called and got ahold of someone who was extremely rude. And told me they don't open until 12.... I'm sorry your system made the appointment for 11? I spoke with the owner who is such a sweet person but it's sad that the people she has working at the studio are really taking the fun out of it and treating customers poorly. I wasn't going to make a post and just let the first situation go but after coming to pick up my children's pieces today and again dealing with rude customer service I feel like I need to warn people. Over $100 for crappy service isn't okay. Super unfortunate. Oh yes I forgot they waived one $8 painting fee When I went to pick up I walked in and nobody was there until I walked towards the back and was great as of I was a burden. I was the one having to deal with being treated that was as a paying customer. I am allowed to voice my concerns. Again I wasn't even going to post anything but people spend a lot of money at the studio and deserve to know
