Michael's is always my go to store for seasonal decorations on this visit. I was hoping to add a few trees to my little Christmas village and sure enough Michael's had a whole groove of little fake fur trees on sale for half off and their priest Christmas special. I also waltzed around to the other side of the store and checked out their hand blown glass ornaments. I was very happy to find a tiny aircraft carrier because part of our Christmas ornaments are all the occupations of the whole family, and I never thought I would find an aircraft carrier What's nice about the arts and crafts at Michael's is that you can make memories from all the little goodies that they have! read more

The manager in that store is so rude. I approached to her to inquiry where was their restrooms so she rudely responded there were at the end of the store and pretty much said she was not going to be able to open the restroom door for me that if I wanted to find for somebody else near the restroom that can help me, I went and she was there helping a customer in the custom frame department and I did not know it was her, I thought she was different employee and I nicely asked her if I can use their restroom and in front of the customer she yelled at me that she did not have time to help me. I can't believe the manager talk to customers in that manner. What an embarrassing manager. I will never come back to that store. read more

Needed to buy markers. Most markers are locked up (which I understand since they're probably a high theft item.) There was a call-button to press for customer assistance. I pressed, and waited. Waited more. Pressed again. Waited another 5 minutes. Repeat, repeat. After spending about 20 minutes waiting on any kind of response, I walked to the front of the store. There I found an employee overseeing 3 customers all ringing up their own purchases on 3 different registers. She said there were only 2 employees working there at that time--and she couldn't get away. I decided not to purchase the things that I had in my hands and just walked out. What a waste of time. It's a shame too since there are fewer retail craft options--but you can't keep items locked up away from customers--and simultaneously not have any way to get help! read more

Great deals, super awesome so much better than Hobby Lobby. As an aspiring fantasy map cartographer the pen selection is excellent read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

So have not been to Michael's in sometime and of course, like everything else it's changed. In the past, I bought some beautiful silk flower arrangements and you really can't find them now. I went in to get two frames and I wanted metal, like a turquoise color. Didn't find anything, but I found navy blue that work for two prints. Still some nice stuff and I did get the frames buy one get one 50% off so that really helps. Sometimes the frames cost more than the prints. I saw a lot of nice things I like, but I'm downsizing so did not want to go overboard. read more

Kevin in the framing departments rocks!! So easy to work with, excellent guidance, work is amazing and timely. Great selection of borders and frames. Great value, cost won't break the bank. We'll be back soon. Highly recommend Kevin and the team! ;) read more

The team of employees at Michael's helped me with buying and inflating a bunch of balloons for my boyfriends birthday. They had a good selection of balloon to choose from. They also offer the inflating with helium service. Brett, Christina, and Dani we're kind and helpful. I recommend Michael's for their balloon service read more

The store was very organized and clean. The employees were all very informative and helpful.

Last 3 times my daughters and I came here all the lights were out accept maybe one in the back and one at the registers. There was well over 2 hrs left till they closed. One of my daughters ran into the end of the isle because it was so hard to see. I asked the last two times why they had their lights off and they said they weren't sure. I couldn't see anything. They shut them off because they don't want people coming in. The staff is rude. I'll gladly go to hobby lobby now. read more

This is a fantastic store. So much to choose from, in a very clean, and fun store. Do you need a picture frame? How about arts and supply crafts? Pens? How about some yarn! This place is great. Check it out. read more

Staff were amazingly unhelpful with a mobile purchase and did everything they could to avoid answering questions. When I finally flagged someone down to ask a question the girl jumped back when I turned my phone to her to show her the item I was having problem with. I was wearing a mask and at least 6 feet away and she jumps away from my like I was going to attack her. Working with customers and being deathly afraid of getting next to someone don't mix. I worked retail a good part of my life and the way they treat customers is not helpful is any way shape or form read more

Perfectly sized store and I have absolutely no problems here. They have a pretty nice selection of Arts and Crafts. That's the purpose of the store. It was easy going in, and going out. read more

I just really feel like I need to comment on how amazing this store and its staff made my shopping experience!The first thing I noticed upon entry was how immaculate and welcoming the store was. It had this really impressive Halloween display that was very well put together. Great job on aesthetics! The employee who came to assist me was very pleasant! Sophie was professionally attentive, friendly and knowledgeable! She helped me find everything I came to shop for, which was very helpful because I was shopping for my daughters diorama! I will definitely be back to this store! read more

If I could give zero stars i would. this was the worst customer service experience of my life. after having to wait in line for 30 minutes to enter the store, I was told once I got to the check out that they only took cash. As myself and many others did not have cash, we were advised to go to a nearby atm and told we wouldn't have to wait in the line again. To my surprise, we DID have to wait in line again and worst of all none of the employees have a rats a**! never going back here, i can find crafts elsewhere! read more

Everything you need, weather it's painting, sewing, crafting, baking etc..I love Michaels. They have the best selection.

Rude employees and managers. I understand COVID had employees stressed out but it's still unacceptable to treat customers as if they're bothering you. read more

I went in for a item in particular...instant laminate sheets. They said they had 19 on hand but it wasn't in the aisle. The lady working told me that they must of been in the back then proceeded to say sorry and walk away. She could of offered to get me 1 package because I really needed it for a event today. I ended up taking my business somewhere else. Such a disappointment. You would think that she would of offered but she didn't. Horrible customer service. read more

The worst! I ordered the custom frame on 8/23/22 and was told that it would be ready on 9/6 and that they would call me. The 6th came and went, no call. I spend over an hour on the phone to get the status. When someone did pick-up, I was told there was an issue and that they had JUST reorder a part of the frame that was missing; I was told it would be ready on the 17th... and they would call. The 17th came and went - no call. I tried to call them, spent over an hour on hold and no one picked up. I finally went to the store and was told that the same mistake was made (again?) and they JUST reorder the part that was missing. I was told that my picture would be ready "mid-week of the 19 (that would be today (9/21). No call. After over an hour on hold (including a "disconnect) the store rep said it would MAY be done today. After some pushing, they said they would TRY to have ready by late this afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed. The cost of the framing is $315.36. This is not cheap and other framers charge comparable rates. I can't comment on the quality of the framing because I haven't seen it yet! There are plenty of custom framers is Los Angeles - next time I'll take my business somewhere else. The cost and quality will should comparable and I'm assuming I won't be jacked around on the completion date, they will contact me if there are issues and someone will answer the phone if I need to call. read more
