We love Michaels, right? Yelpers named Michael, celebs named Michael, and craft stores named after Michael. And why did businessman Michael J. Dupey, who founded Michaels in 1973, named the business Michaels (plural) and not Michael's (possessive)? No idea. I love me a Michaels. It's a decent craft store that carries most of what I need. Got a Weeknd concert outfit that needs golden applique? Michaels. Want to create a mini fairy garden at the base of a tree? Michaels. Need some beads to make some friendship bracelets for you, your friends, and Labubus? Michaels! It's a great craft store and as someone who has a degree in Graphic Design, I enjoy doing creative little projects time to time to keep that right hemisphere of the brain sharp. read more

Madeline was very helpful. She helped me out before and was always very professional, helpful, and enthusiastic. She deserves a promotion!

I felt very disrespected by a young clerk in the cashier area. I wanted to go to a human cashier and not a machine. I am an elder and like old-fashioned human customer service with only a cash register involved. At one time I liked the small hometown atmosphere of Michael's. The way I was treated today at the 1721 S. Stapley, Mesa, Arizona location. It makes me not want to shop there again and go to competitors. I had wanted to go to a cashier. I was told "No" 4 times and that I had to use their machine. I am hoping that this person And Others could be trained in different ways to say no or to honor a customer's " No." I do not shop where my "No" is not honored --Especially when a younger person is saying "No" to an older person. read more

Staff was very friendly in helping measure and mount a series of certificates for display in my office.

This Michaels location is a bit smaller than some others I've been in, but it's well stocked and organized. They had the art supplies I was looking for at a decent price and they were easy to find. Access from the main road is easy, and finding parking is no problem. read more

Ellen and Bre we're exceptional and so helpful. Thank you.! I found exactly what I needed at the right price. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Over the past few weeks I have been here a few times to pick up Christmas decorations. They have some nice stuff, although it's a bit limited. For a craft store, I was surprised at how much they had but wish they had a little bit more. Every time I've been in here, it has been easy to move throughout the store and the check out and returns process was pretty seamless. This location is conveniently located next to Walmart so whatever craft-related things you can't find at Walmart, Michael's is an option and vice versa. Most of their Christmas decorations are produced by a company called Ashland and they make some pretty nice stuff. Just be prepared to be covered in glitter. read more

My experience here was truly exceptional thanks to Matt ! He gave amazing customer service and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable would give him 10 stars if I could! Thanks again for all your help Matt! read more

I needed some balloons last minute went to website to order but said wouldn't be ready until time after I needed. Called the store and they were so helpful they got the order filled right away for us. That's customer service!!! I will definitely go to Michael's for craft needs now. read more

Come on, how can I pass up new stickers? The most adorable stickers to date. I couldn't. I bought them all. Michael's keeps outdoing themselves. They have planner, blank planners, bujo anyone? Even in the year of covid, life still happens, so go get Kawaii stickers and a new journal. Or just get the stickers, I mean come on, you can't be too old for stickers. It will lift any mood. Plus, sushi And coffee!! read more

They didn't have a few things we were looking for but online it said they had it. But trying to get help is ridiculous only saw one person and that was the cashier. They had a lot of clearance but the shelves were empty so you might as well remove the tags. Overall in my opinion their competition Hobby Lobby has a better customer experience. read more

FRAMING experience NOT SATISFACTORY Needed a Frame for a 39" x 23" print. Michaels always has ad flyers mailed out and knew they had store coupons on framing once in a while. This week's coupon was for 80% off framing. Great! This is one of greater discounts I have seen in a while and would be a good time to take advantage of this price reduction. *Note that the framing discounts are usually for certain styles only. The associate was able to help pick out a frame and matte spent the time with me while I decided on the selection. It ended up being a 40" x 27" frame. I was told the frame would be complete by the next week and would get a call when it was done. After a couple weeks I had not received any word on my frame. I called and they said that their warehouse was in Texas and due to recent inclement weather, the shipping of the frame was delayed. I told them I did not receive notification of this. After that day, I received an email from the store manager after the fact about this delay. It was now week 3 since I ordered. I called again to find out if it was done. Apparently my frame was done, however, I had not received notification it was. When I went in to pick it up, the frame construction was poorly done. There was glue and gaps on the corners. Also, one of the corners was completely misaligned. I asked them to re-do the frame and they said it might take a while to get the frame shipped but they will expedite once they got it in. I called the next week to see if the frame was complete and they said they have the frame but the head of the framing department was supposed to work on it and they were off. It took a month and a week to finally get my frame. If this had been a gift, it would have ruined the occassion. I don't know if Michael's contracts with Aaron Brothers for their framing but this was not a good representation of either company. read more

I want to give a shout out to Daniel in the frame shop for the beautiful work he did framing a family crest as a gift for my husband. He steered me to the perfect color mat for the piece as well as a gorgeous frame that really complements the art--and fits perfectly with my decor. He was knowledgeable and helpful working within my budget and although I spent a bit more than I'd planned, I never felt that he was pushing me for a bigger sale. How refreshing to work with someone who actually listens and cares about what the customer wants! He's a gem and I will be recommending him highly to my friends and family read more

If you sign up for the email list they often have great coupons like 20% or 40% a regular priced item.

Late night trip to Michaels. It wasn't a good day for me, so I decided to go to Michaels to look after a framing project, that I had been planning on, for quite some time.. Joyce helped me. She not only looked after my art work, but also she listened with empathy to my story of what had gone wrong that day. She was knowledgeable & had a very keen eye for colors. She explained how a colored frame can use, a secondary, not the main color in the art work... We disagreed on the color choice of the frames. I chose the color that I liked best, however I know that each time that I will look at my art I will not only see the art or the frames, but I will also remember what a nice person she was to me. read more

Michaels - Outside - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

A well stocked store with helpful staff and clear isles. Would be great if I didn't have to have a damn coupon every time I purchased something but I blame the company read more

This is the experience I had in the Framing Department. Now mind you, my sister was a professional framer back in the 1980s at The Harvard Coop in Cambridge, MA. She did beautiful framing jobs for them. So I have a high bar for whoever I use as a framer. I found Daniel at the Stapley Dr, Mesa location. He was very thorough in explaining the different frame types and matts, and spoke of different ways to present the art work or prints I brought. I had an idea which I explained and he also had a great idea. In the end I used his idea because it was better. Daniel did such a lovely job and I am pleased that I found someone who knows their craft. It really is an art to frame artwork. I will definitely bring more art & photos to him to frame. I've had horrible experiences with people in different frame shops who mangled my work. Thank you Daniel for listening and doing such great craftsmanship. read more

This store offers you everything that you will ever need to make crafts or build something pretty. I am bummed that they put their holiday decorations on sale before the holiday even happened. This causes the items to be sold out fast. It frustrates me when I want to buy craft items for my 2nd grade students. Everything is over picked. When there is a long line they only have 1 person checking people out. I thought Ulta Beauty was the only store who did this to their customers. The store has many items from decorations, scrapbooking, cake making and floral arrangements. They also offer wedding items if you want to go the DIY route and be creative. Framing is also available at this location. They offer a teacher discount with proper school ID. read more

Your stores and your online support should be on the same page with policies. I called your store to see if you carried an item, you do carry it but it doesn't qualify for curbside pickup so we must go in. The price of this item is more than double why hobby lobby sells it for so I reach out to online support to see if you'll price March it, they confirm yes, a few days later my husband goes in to buy it and is directed to a sign that says they don't price match as of March 27th. If this is the case online support should be privy to it. We just wasted a whole bunch of time. read more

Michael's Corp. Office has resolved my issue. And has been very Professional and Thoughtful regarding my experience. I appreciate their consideration and Thank them. I will shop at Michaels and recommend their stores. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This is one store that frustrates me! Often, whatever I'm in search of, I can't seem to find. I go from one side of the store to the other with little luck of finding the isle it might be in as well as finding an employee to assist me.Very Frustrating!!! This store, in my opinion, is a bit messy, disorganized, junky and full of too many useless nic-nacs. I find it distracting when I'm in search of something. Patience is a requirement to shop here. I will say, prices are comparable to other competitors and they carry similar products. They also honor coupons from Joanns. . read more

This store is the best!! My parents went there and were looking for a frame to fit a picture, and they had their actual frame with my sister's wedding picture on it. They actually forgot it in the store and went home. Later after an hour we came back to ask for it, Thomas the manager helped us out and kept searching for it everywhere and actually two more helped us too. I left my number and 2 hours later Thomas called and told me they found it!! I am extremely happy that they helped me out! Thank you so much Thomas for not ignoring the issue and helping us found our frame. Highly recommend the customer service in this place!! Thanks again team!! read more

We had the unfortunate experience of dealing with the manager of this awful establishment Andrew. He was rude and condescending from the very start of the conversation. He belittled my wife while on the phone and his sexist condescending attitude was appalling on all fronts. He's a disgrace to retail and needs to be fired immediately. When we asked to speak to his manger, he replied that he was the manager. When we told him we didn't appreciate his tone or his handling of our concern, he proceeded to hang up on us. He's a spineless reprobate that deserves to be fired. I hope his managers find this review and take action. I will be posting on all social media, the BBB, and any other places I can write a review. He's a disgrace. read more

Great customer service at checkout by Deja at the register. Very friendly and sweet! Had a great smile too!

Found all our items. The clerk was kind and friendly despite coupons. Location easy to access. Do not like the check out line. Wired exit--- likely for theft protection but still needs some customer attention. Clean and organized store. read more

Tried out Camp Creativity today it was tons of fun. Brooke did a great job explaining how to do the craft and helped out when needed. The project takes about 30 minutes to finish, the kids can also color when they finish. They have 7 weeks of craft on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am to noon the cost is $3. Definitely a nice way to beat the heat. read more

Love love love this place. Has a great selection of things, has everything for every hobby.

Super new location. Therefore, it is big, nice, and clean. We went late on a Wednesday and the store was practically empty. There were barely any customers to be seen. I imagine this is typically the case during weekday nights. The staff was friendly. This location has loads of ribbons and ribbons. So if you need ribbons of all kinds, small, large, pre-made, in all shades and colors, this is the spot for you. They also have tons of frames and flowers. Loads of canvas as well but I couldn't find any circular ones, which is what I was searching for at the time. It was a little difficult to find what I needed. I feel like the location was better before it moved but the parking is million times better so that's a huge plus. The new store appears to be set up great for crafting events with multiple meeting rooms in the front of the store! I look forward to them offering a bunch of different options to explore! read more

I didn't think to ask anyone but I believe this store is to replace the store that used to be at Baseline and Gilbert Road which I had heard closed while I was out of town. This store seems to be much bigger and it is in a huge Shopping Center. Being a bigger store it seems to have a pretty wide selection. I did notice that the store had a totally different feel from your average Michael's which are usually pretty consistent across the country. It looks different on the front and it feels different on the inside with the cement floor and the Box Store atmosphere. I didn't find the Yarn I was looking for but I did find another one that I liked so I bought it with my coupon instead. I would probably come back to this store. There's a huge parking lot in front of it and I didn't have to park very far from the front door which I appreciated. The clerk was very nice at the end. read more

Had my daughters birthday party here on Saturday, not only was it a good value but the kids had a lot of fun and the room, staff and party itself is accommodating to children with special needs or in wheelchairs. The kids all got to paint and make crafts to take home, the staff are very friendly and helpful and my daughter said it was the best party she has had. I have been buying art supplies for my tattoo shops from this place for the last couple of years, price and selection are competitive with other stores but they usually always have sone kind of coupon or sale, the staff here is always very helpful and the location is easily accessible. read more

I came to this location yesterday in search of some items and had a terrible experience with an associate named Linda. She was unhelpful and rude and made my shopping experience unnecessarily stressful. She was even short with another associate who was also trying to help me ( very unprofessional and embarrassing). I called and complained about my situation to the Assistant Manager Andrew and he was very apologetic and kind towards me and my concerns. I will continue to shop here and steer clear out of linda's way from now on. I really appreciate how Andrew handled my situation. On a lighter note: This store is basically new and absolutely beautiful. All items I have shopped for are well stocked and the lines are always short!!! 5 stars for customer service (from Andrew and Kristen), cleanliness, and product availability. read more

Worst customer service experience I've had in a while. I was with one of my friends and we wondered around for half an hour and could not find an employee able to help us or answer our questions. Would not recommend this location and definitely won't be coming back read more

First off, let me preface by saying that I do not normally write reviews. Today, that changed. I received such great help from this store from the time I walked in with a welcome greeting, to being asked by Robbie if I needed help and walking me over to the collaborative and super nice and helpful ladies in the picture matting department. The 3 employees made me feel heard and they had excellent ideas and suggestions for my shadow box Memorial. Thank you for showing me such excellent customer service! read more

I've only come here once so far for picture frames and some Christmas ornaments/decorations but even during a busy weekend near the holidays happening it didn't feel cramped or like a pain to deal with being there. Plenty of staff made sure it was easy to get any questions answered as well. Massive parking lot (too big for the entire area honestly). Clean. Probably will come back from time to time mostly for frames and some other decorations. read more

I called to ask about using a coupon drove 30 mins to get there and the staff refused to give it to me. One star.

Wow. One of the managers (red hair) passed me twice and made eye contact but never came to check and make sure i was finding everything okay. I have never been in this Michaels and not sure if I will be back. Not a lot of employees available to ask for help. I was checking out and these kids were playing with squeaky toys. The manager yelled at the kids very rudely. Yes it was annoying but I was not going to tell kids that were not mine to stop playing with toys. If the mothers were annoyed I am sure at some point something would have been said. The way she approached the situation was inappropriate. She was also being short with a customer who was having issues with a cricut and wanted to return it and she seemed annoyed having to do a return. read more

This Michaels is always well stocked and maintained (at least in in paper crafts section where I frequent!). Thy have a cashier named Joyce who is always very nice and attentive and asks about what projects you are working in. Has given good advice in the past. She's really great at making you feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer. Good job Joyce! read more

I saw the manager (she had red hair) be abrasive to more than one customer -- myself included -- and act suspicious of customers instead of friendly. I purposely tried to get in another line because she made me nervous. I brought in two coupons and she said I could only use one at a time, so I bought my stuff and told her I would just go buy more stuff to use the other coupon (which is probably the point -- to get customers to spend more money). I went and got about $30 worth more of merchandise than I had originally planned on buying, which I was happy to do to use my coupon. When I checked out she came up to my cashier and said, "I hope you didn't use a coupon. She's only allowed to use one at a time," like I was trying to cheat the system! I'm sorry I tried to "cheat the system" by spending more money than I had planned on at your business. read more

This is the worst Michael's I have ever been to. It was poorly stocked in my opinion and felt very cluttered. I waited in a long line, which got even longer behind me, and only one cashier was working. Meanwhile, a second cashier was at her register talking to another employee, neither of whom made eye contact with or helped anyone in line. Finally a third cashier showed up, wouldn't take my coupon, couldn't manage to correctly scan another coupon and stood there and stared at me unblinking when my purse fell off of the counter and upside down on the ground. I quickly left and will never return. read more

This store is very clean but seems very small and cluttered. The "C.E. Manager" Linda was (hopefully) having a bad day or I really really feel sorry for those who work under her. She gave me a little "ugh" along with a slight laugh when I asked her to carry a heavy item up front for me (I am 8 months pregnant) as I had more shopping and that particular item would not fit in the cart. Upon ringing up at the register, the cashier rang me up for everything then scanned my coupon, well the coupon took from an excluded item so she called the manager Linda over and she was immediately irritated and said "ugh! well you probably scanned it wrong!!!". She didn't. It was a simple computer glitch (i presented my coupon at the end) but she insisted the cashier didn't know what she was doing and that she didn't scan the coupon last. Even the cashier had her eyebrows high and eyes rolling trying her best to take in the comments. I felt so bad for her. The manager then took my cart and put the heavy item in my cart and asked if i wanted help out. Considering how she responded when I asked her to carry it up front and how irritated she was at the cashier, I said "Noooo Thank you" and made sure she knew that I noticed her poor attitude. Her demeanor changed and sweetly asked me again, "are you sure? because I can help you carry this to your car" NO THANK YOU. I WILL NEVER SPEND MY MONEY HERE AGAIN. read more
