She was extremely sweet and patient and the prices in her store allowed us to let my cousin choose her dream dress without spending an arm and a leg for it. I can't explain how much of a help Claudia and her store are and how happy my cousin is that she got her dream dress. THANK YOU SO MUCH

She spent hours with us trying to find the perfect dress for my daughter. Claudia has a variety of dresses. My daughter tried on at least 12 while we were there. Her pricing is also like no other. Her dresses are very affordable. I highly recommend anyone in need of a dress for their XV or Sweet sixteen to stop by Mi Bella XV. You will not only fall in love with the dresses but how much Claudia treats you and your family. I will pick Claudia over anyone.

I had set up an afternoon session at this studio to celebrate my birthday on June 8th and had…read morechosen the 1pm time. I was so excited to do this ever since my sister sent me an IG reel of the place. I had invited 6 people and when my sister and I got there, the place was closed. I thought "No big deal. It's just closed to the public since it's a private party." One of my guests had found the owner's number and called her. Apparently, she'd thought the session was at 4pm. She said she was 10 mins from the studio because they had dropped something off in Casa Grande. When I called her, she told me the same thing. Not too long after I got off the phone, she sent me the following text: Her: Sorry we're late. We had an emergency come up this morning causing us to go to casa grande. We thought the class was at 4, but that was my confusion. We're almost at the studio, but if you're on a time crunch we can reschedule for another day. If you still want to do it today, we will need about 25 mins to set up. Let me know what works for you. Me: Still going to do it. A couple of us are on a time crunch, but we're going to do it. However, I'd like a discount now. Please text when you're set up. We're all waiting in a car in the parking lot. Her: Unfortunately we won't be able to make it in time for the class, so I'm going to have to cancel it. We will have remain closed for today due to my family emergency. I'll refund your deposit, thank you for your time and sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you understand I have a few urgent matters to take care of today. Me: How soon am I going to get the refund? Her: You should receive it within the next 48 hours. If you do not, let me know. Thank you. I would've considered rescheduling when she owned up to her scheduling mistake. Clearly, she didn't read our emails and scheduled it wrong. Okay, fine. But when I say we still want to do the activity and ask for a discount, all of a sudden there's a "family emergency" and she has to cancel--WHEN SHE'S THE ONE WHO ASKED IF WE STILL WANTED TO DO IT? I call bullshit. When me and my other friend talked to her, there was no mention of a family emergency. Which makes me think if my session really had been scheduled for 4pm, it would've been fine. Maybe. Or she still might've cancelled without notifying me beforehand. Sorry for the inconvenience? It truly was. It was inconvenient for one of my friends who was coming from Litchfield Park. It was inconvenient for another friend who's a Southwest Airlines flight attendant and had to practically jump through hoops to change her schedule to a later shift so she could participate. And it was inconvenient because we all showed up--and stood there in the fucking hot sun at her studio--trying to figure out what the hell happened. I appreciate the refund of my deposit, but my first impression of this local business was my last impression. I don't plan on rescheduling and actually found a better place to try out in Tempe in the near future.

I loved how easy it was to start with the lesson, short and sweet. It was not overwhelming with the materials or hardware because Kiss and her partner, Andres were there to help with any mishaps or questions. The selection of colors are always stocked and prepped for you so it's not a concern to decipher how it going to look in color or shape. They also put your design on a canvas before you start so that the process is easier to manage and one less step. On another note, I have won a Instagram giveaway for following, liking posts, and reposting on my story to help support small businesses and I was a lucky winner. I have bought so many rugs that I have to store some away for the holidays to have spare room on my walls. I am just obsessed with this place that I want to take my partner there all the time. I highly recommend!

Anita was our instructor. She gives very explicit instructions and I had success fairly quickly with my small creations. I learn by following instructions. My husband's experience was not good. He had success, but Anita told him several times that he didn't listen and he wasn't following instructions (in a rather harsh tone of voice. I think she calls it as she sees it without sugar coating her instructions). My husband learns by making mistakes and figuring out what works. He wasn't given the freedom to do that in these 45 min working sessions. So, overall my experience was OK. His experience was not good. So, I cannot recommend Desert Dragon, based on our personal experiences. But I found it was a good intro to pottery and the wheel.

The purchase was a big bust, I returned it about a week later, and a different worker was there. I politely explained the issue and expected I would be offered a credit/refund/ or store credit in some reasonable amount. Instead, she was not interested in doing the right thing, was defensive, and said I was unclear about my complaint. My complaint was straightforward and clear. When she sensed that I was confused by her "argument," I just pivoted and said, "ok, that is a bad decision by you". Some people should not have front-facing jobs. They should work in a warehouse, communicating with software and forklifts, away from the public. This frumpy gal would probably be a great forklift driver. She has no business in customer service - she may own the shop, and that is even worse. That section of 7th Ave is full of nice mom and pop stores with nice folks = not Lotions & Potions.
