    I go to a lot of candlemaking classes, and I have to say this was the best one thus far. The owner, Lonnie, is very welcoming and helpful and created such a fun environment for us. Honestly it's hard to socialize and pay attention to instructions and do the task all at the same time, so she was wonderful in handholding and helping when I messed up lol! The store is super cute and there were a variety of candleholders and fragrances, and we even added petals. I would highly recommend the experience and well definitely be back for future classes!

    My friends and I went to this place for a girls day out! The owner Lonnie and staff Cheyenne was so sweet and helpful as they thoroughly guided through each stop of the candle making process. There were a lot selections receptacle styles, fragrances, and color. This is a small business so the price may not be as affordable, but it was worth it! We got to make 1 big candle and 3 smaller tea light candles. Overall a great experience

    We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary at Makes Perfect Scents! Lonnie, the owner was very welcoming and helpful in our crafting. We were able to bring in our own food/drinks and were able to take our time, selecting our vessel, scents and decorations. We thoroughly enjoyed our candle making experience.

    Candle making was such a fun activity for my daughter's 16th birthday. Lonnie was very accommodating to our party and I thank her for that. I highly recommend Makes Perfect Sense for a fun and relaxing activity. The class offered 20+ scents to choose or combine from to make our main candle and then we could choose a new scent to make three tea lights. There were a lot of accents to add to the top of our candles. Overall, each of us came out with a unique candle we are very excited to burn. I feel we got value for our money spent.

    Surprised my cousin with a candle making class here for her birthday. Lonnie is incredibly knowledgable when it comes to candles! She is very patient and kind. We had so much fun picking out different scents to make our candle. The process is pretty easy so you're able to have conversation and catch up with one another. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to have a girls day or do something creative and different. You get to create one large candle and three tea light candles for $60. I posted on my IG and already had lots of people ask where I went.

    My boyfriend and I had our first candle making workshop and it was perfect! Lonnie was an amazing instructor and her studio is sooo beautifully designed -- I loved how comfortable and cozy it was. There was a variety of selections for the vessel, fragrance, and dried flowers. We used Love Me, Indigo Waters, Rustic Wood, and Gardenia for our candles. We were so happy with how they turned out and can't wait to use them. Lonnie was also really thoughtful and considerate, offering us waters and checking in if the music playing was okay with us. Highly recommend!

    Lonnie's studio is so stinkin' cute! My amazing friends surprised me with a class at Makes Perfect Scents for my birthday. When we first walked into the studio, we saw all the beautiful jars, candles, etc. it was just lovely! Lonnie is the best host! We ended up sharing charcuterie boxes and desserts my beautiful friends brought to the party. I had the best time. All her scents were so beautiful! We will definitely come back with all our friends!

    ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE!!!!!!

    I was looking for a candle making class for myself and two young ladies, and found 'Makes Perfect Scents " on YELP. Can I tell you that this candle making class did not disappoint! This was my 2nd candle making class, and their 1st; which far exceeded my 1st experience, and was a great first experience for them. When we first enter the establishment you can smell a sweet aroma of candles burning, then you notice the astetic, the beautiful decorations, the affirmations and art pieces sprinkled throughout. It is a really quaint and intimate space. Then we're greeted by this beautiful soul name Lonnie who had an infectious smile that was so welcoming . After greeting us she gives us our step by step instructions; which was very detailed. She is very friendly, kind, patient, and knowledgeable in the area of making candles. Thank you so much Lonnie for making this an amazing experience for us! We will definitely be back! If your looking for a candle making class look no further "Makes Perfect Scents" will make your next event fun, exciting, educational, and most of all relaxing!

    Awesome experience! Lonnie is a great teacher, very sweet and knowledgeable.  My girls & I had a blast! We will definitely be back!

    Great experience overall! Lonnie is so sweet and knowledgeable about her craft. Lovely fragrances & beautiful candles. Great for a girls' night out!

    We came in a large group for a friend's birthday and had so much fun! I love the variety of scents and ways to personalize your candle. Lonnie was incredibly helpful with describing each step as well as making recommendations for mixing scents. The store smelled so good when walking in, and it wasn't overpowering at all for anyone who is more sensitive to smells! I wanted a woodsy clean smell, and I ended up using a combination of Jasmine, Cactus Flower & Jade, and Fresh Laundry in my large candle, and Eucalyptus and Bamboo Agave in my little ones.

    Makes perfect scents offers an amazing candle making experience. There is a huge variety of vessels, scents, and candle decorations. The shop itself smells SO GOOD, and at the end of the experience, you walk away with a really cool candle, customized to your liking. Lonnie, the owner, does an impeccable job of explaining the process and also thoroughly provides instructions on how to care for your candle. The overall experience was fun, and I will be back!

    I went to a candle making class here completely unsure of what to expect, but boy did I have fun! The environment of the studio was warm and welcoming, and you could tell that Lonnie loves what she does and enjoys sharing it with others. The class was easy to follow and went at a perfect. I loved the tidbits of candle knowledge that was shared with us too, that allowed me to appreciate scent and candles even more. I left saying that I plan on coming back, and I definitely do. Can't wait to burn my candle!

    What a fun experience! My friend and I signed up for their candle making class and we had a great…read moretime. The instructor guided us step by step as we chose our scents, tested the combinations, decided on the ratio of each scent and overall formula, picked out our containers, selected the wax color and intention stones, and so on. The class was about an hour and then they asked us to return in another hour for the wax to cool and the candle to cure. The only downside is that it's pretty pricey - $60 for the class itself, and I spent an additional $20 on upgrades (like a prettier container and the decorative stones). So I spent $80 on making this candle when most small candles the same size (10 oz) cap out at $20 max. But again, it was a fun experience worth doing at least once.

    BE ON TIME! We…read morearrived and when you arrive you pick a seat and put on an apron. The 1st thing you do is put your name on the brochure . Then you pick your two fragrances you want. I would suggest go in with a goal. Like think of what smell do you want. Do you want laundry day/fresh linen, bakery, woody, ETC. Personally I feel like going in with a goal helps narrowing down the scents you like. Because you can be like my sister who had 5 scents she liked and wasn't sure. We did pay the additional for bigger candle. Everything was explained as we were making the candles. After we did the process we picked labels and the color of our wax for the candle. We also named our candles. Every step is written down so you can order the same candle scent again. The only thing I wish the talked about was how to properly care for your candles. Overall my sister and I had a great time. The staff was nice and patient with us. Also give yourself time to go back to pick up candle like 1.5 to 2 hrs. Definitely worth the experience BOOK ONLINE
