made an online order for pickup and the pickup process is so easy. you can just find your last name on the pick up shelf and pick up the bag in the corresponding bag, and they've transitioned from plastic bags to paper bags! which is very exciting otherwise, michaels always has such a good selection of beginner to intermediate craft supplies and organizational tools too. the site keeps track of stock within the store and i appreciate that when checking what's available before going to the store. as a fiber artist, i think there needs to be a larger selection of yarns made of natural material but i understand that that gets expensive. love the selection of tools for fiber arts and the existing cotton yarn selection always check for coupons!! there's always something read more

Was a wonderful party for our 6 year old. Great service and reasonable pricing. Kids had a great time and parents had a place to sit back and relax for the hour the kids were occupied read more

Staff is very kind and helpful but it's clear that management isn't scheduling enough staff to meet the needs of customers.

I love when I can walk into a store and am immediately met with a plethora of seasonal decor. There's just something about it that brings me such joy. It's not even September, and Michael's has all the decorative items to get you ready for Halloween, Thanksgiving and any other fall celebration you might have. But, that's not what we came here for on this particular item. I was looking for balloons, those big foil number one for a birthday celebration. They have a whole section called the "party shop" and it was easy to find what I needed. The staff were super helpful as well and blew up the balloons there at their balloon bar so I didn't have to buy one of those helium tanks. The balloons were perfect and lasted for hours even with the wind trying to take them away. I really appreciated their attention to detail with the ribbon, making sure they were the same height. It was also easy to checkout, they have these digital checkout kiosks now and everything was very efficient. read more

My receipt shows my transaction was on Friday night 9/12/25 at 18:08pm want to brag about "might possibly be Monica who closed" There is a WONDERFUL girl there that is just ALWAYS amazing! I just always have such an amazing experience whenever I run into her there. She ALWAYS has a giant smile, goes out of her way to approach and greet me, and seee how she can help me find something or be helpful. She is ALWAYS so very positive, very sweet personality, extremely helpful, and again ..so very sweet. I leave there smiling every time I encounter her. This is not the normal attitude of everyone. Nothing negative about anyone else but she most definitely always STANDS OUT above the rest. I have actually given Michael's rave reviews online directly as a result of my amazingly wonderful experiences with her. You want to come back sooner to shop and you feel like you just met a friend. I can't praise her enough! I really do hope the company recognizes her. She's deserving of recognition. read more

Do not utilize their custom framing services. I came in on a Friday to have 4 custom mats cut. The man working in custom framing explained they were backed up and would have them completed by Saturday. I gave them an extra day, and came in on Sunday. They were not done, and the girl working had no clue what was going on. She said she had to text the man who was supposed to have completed them. She promised me that they would now be completed as a rush order by Monday. At that time, I ordered an additional mat and dropped off 5 prints to be cut to size. All to be completed as a "rush" by Monday. I gave them an extra day, and I came back on Tuesday late afternoon (3:45pm). Nothing had been completed. The man said he was training someone and he needed to wait until they came in to work on the mats. I asked why he couldn't on them, since I was already there? He said he had 20-30 orders, but none of those people had stopped by to pick theirs up yet, and mine was supposed to be rush at this point. He also had no idea I ordered a 5th mat or handed my prints over to be cut. He promised multiple times the mats would be cut within the hour (by 5pm), and I verified multiple times that I would be back by 5pm. So...I show up at 5pm. Nothing had been done. The trainee had not shown up, and the man continued to work on other projects, telling me the trainee doesn't come in to work until 5pm. I asked for a refund, and he told me he could not give me one. It's at this point that the man finally started to work on my order. Within 10 minutes it was done! I had to come back three times for a project that took ten minutes to complete. Unbelievable. read more

If you come to this Michael's, please ask for Eman! She is so helpful! She helped give us directions on where to find a product and her directions were spot on. She also helped us apply a coupon when we did not have any on hand, all with a smile on her face. She was such a delight and we really appreciated her help. Thank you, Eman! read more

Thank you for changing my shirts out I got the wrong size the one close to My house would not do it! I no longer go to that location I only Go to you! read more

This review is for Eddie in custom framing. He was nice enough to tell me how to get the best price for a stock frame I wanted for my signed concert poster. Then for a nominal fee, he mounted and affixed the hanging hardware right on the spot. Looks great! Poor guy has to tell people the restroom code all day long. Glad he could help us out. read more

After finding what I needed, I made my way to the checkout area. There was no line and 3 workers so I waited to get checked out. However these 3 woman did not say hi, did not look over once, and continued their conversation. After a few minutes, one of the girls waved me over to a self check out kiosk (the other 2 girls didn't even bat an eye) and stood there. She did not say hi, she did not verbally direct me to use the kiosk, she stood right behind me and continued her conversation. I was disappointed to say the least as I would've been happy to use the self check kiosk if one of the girls had simply greeted me and directed me to it. read more

Hadn't been to a craft store since Covid. Surreal. Deeply appreciated they had enough knowledgeable staff to assist when needed. It was also awesome that they had everything I needed for my project (I did the math and surprisingly cheaper than Amazon.) plenty of free parking, in a great shopping center with dining and entertainment. read more

The distribution of employees was very poor and dissipated, with workers being huddled up in corners, though this is expected from a corporate company. Ali was very incompetent, I asked repeatedly for help, just for him to forget. We spent 5 minutes trying to find the right key for the security glass. I will say, I received good service from Andrew!! No glaze of course, but he hooked up me up with free posca markers. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Tustin, California

Well, Michaels in Tustin really left me hanging - literally! I went in to grab some yarn for my girlfriend ' blanket project, but I couldn't find a single employee to help me out. The self-checkout was a nightmare, and when We finally managed to ask a question, We got the stink eye from the cashier. Looks like my girl starting to think I'll never get that blanket - maybe She just have to knit one out of pure frustration instead. This place is a yarn-tastrophe! read more

I am a huge fan of the Michaels stores and the Tustin branch is no different. The store is clean and has fancy new self check out registers but the inventory seems to be very low or downright out for an entire aisle at times. Which lead me to the 4 stars. For scrapbooking their paper aisle was cleaned out. HOWEVER, those suckers were 5 dollars which is unheard of anywhere else so I can see why people snatched them up. In terms of service, there was not much interaction with employees outside of the reminder to use the self check out so there isn't much to say about their service outside of their ability to keep the store clean and organized. If you are into scrapbooking, DIY, painting, stickers, beads, etc this place is great and the prices can be reasonable compared to Amazon. They have seasonal rotations and the sales can be stellar! read more

A shout out to Odette!! Tonight, she went out of her way to help me with a situation regarding another Michaels store in the area. She even called me back 15-minutes after her store had closed to let me know the situation had been addressed. Odette, thank you so much for your incredible customer service. You deserve more than 5 stars! read more

I used to be such a fan of the Michaels stores as our family loves crafts and custom gifts. This isn't so much a review on the store, but the corporate policies. They barely staff the place and expect you to check yourself out. In addition, the inventory is often misplaced or unstocked in certain aisles. It's clear that corporate is operating the place with minimal staff. The people who were available were doing their absolute best to accommodate every request, but they were spread so thin. read more

It's my go to store and mainly because of Madinna and the other employees. They are kind and helpful. She is always so wonderful and kind and really knows how to get things done fast and efficiently for the customers. Michael's really needs to appreciate this store and the employees. read more

The manger Madinna went above and beyond with her customer service. She was extremely kind helping us refill our daughter's balloons despite it being a little complicated. Also we accidentally lost one of the balloons to the ceiling which seemed impossible to retrieve but without any hesitation, Madinna kindly got the balloon back for our daughter. Wish there were many more kind people like Madinna! read more

Michaels is not your granny's craft shop. They have almost everything you could want to work with hobby/craft wise. The associates were helpful. This Michaels has lots of items in stock. They also have plenty of things on sale. I recommend this Michaels. Only downside, the parking is difficult in this plaza. read more

Sometimes I come here when the store closest to me doesn't have what I'm looking for. This store is usually pretty well stocked. Although, I feel like their inventory turns over faster so sometimes they are sold out faster. I think the District is difficult to get in and out of so I generally try to avoid going down there unless I absolutely have to. I feel like they are also understaffed and I often have to wait in line a long time to checkout. read more

This review is for BOTH Aaron Brothers and Michaels personnel. I went to get a new frame and I have to say the designer at Aaron Bros was super patient and helpful. Gotta give him like 1000 stars cause he went above and beyond to understand my issue and help me with the best service. Also, the store has really good deals and all the employees I spoke to were supper nice and friendly (they were all busy and still, helped me) Kudos to this Sunday crew that had a smile for all their customers read more

I Ordered 2 Ceramic Sugar Skulls Way Before Halloween, The Items Never Arrived I Had To Issue A Re Shipment, Finally, The Re Shipment Arrived, and They Were Broken, I Contacted Michales & They Issued A Refund, Which Was Just Deserved. My Concern Here Is The Quality Of The Items, The Delivery Process, And The Carelessness Of The Delivery. I Had To Wait Longer Than Usual And They Came Damaged, Can You Say Quality Control?? Just Upset That Deliveries Are Not What They Should Be, And Quality Control Has Gone Out The Window. Very Disappointed Here :( read more

The store could use a remodel, but the staff was friendly. Plenty of easy parking and they were not busy. Online order pick up is a breeze.

I shop at Michael's located in the Tustin Heights Shopping Center. Rose has been my cashier on two separate occasions and she is great. Rose is very friendly and helpful. Her customer services skills are 5 stars!! read more

Art supplies and more. Aside from the paints, pencils, sketch books and canvases they have things like scrapbooking supplies, yarn, baskets, frames (including a framing service), instructional books, stuff for decorating cakes and seasonal items. The store is clean and very organized. Had too much coffee/beer/Red Bull to drink before coming to shop? No problem, there is a restroom at the rear of the store. Prices on some items seemed on the high side but many items were on sale on my recent visit. Plus there were many great offers available on the Michaels app (the day I was here they had a coupon for 50% off every item in the store!). Check out was quick and employees were cordial. read more

My daughter and i came here during the Christmas holiday season in hopes to find some craft items, stickers and toys to put together stockings and goodie bags for her school classmates, teachers and friends. Sadly we ended up leaving the store empty-handed because we weren't impressed with the store's tight layout and multiple seemingly unfriendly workers stocking the shelves all around us as we tried to look around. It was almost as if we were inconveniencing them just by being there. I grabbed my daughter and gladly took our business elsewhere. #31 / 100 Yelp 100 Review Challenge 2014 read more

We recently stopped by here on the way to dinner. I really wanted to find some matting for a photo I was giving my mom for Mother's Day. I had never been to this Michael's location before and thought this was a big, beautiful store! My son loved looking at all the great art supplies. The selection is wonderful. This store has every size and style of canvas, lots of great brushes, cool sketch books, and a nice selection of paints. My son could have spent hours (and tons of money) here. The only downside came when I started looking for the matting for my mom's photo. While my local store (in Yorba Linda) has a decent selection of pre-cut matting, this store didn't have a single item in the size I needed. The rest of the store had everything anyone would need for scrapbooking or crafting. If I had more time, I could have gotten lost in that scrapbook section. This store had beautiful embellishments, paper, books, and other fun supplies. The home decor and framing sections were great here as well. There were rows and rows of lovely frames. There were also lots of fun items for decorating the home. I really liked all the beautiful 4th of July items. So many cute things to choose from! The service was good here! Our cashier seemed friendly and helpful. This store was also very clean and organized. It's easy to find what you need here. Since I didn't find any employees wandering the store, it's nice to have an organized store to find exactly what you need! This is beautiful location with lots of great items in a clean, well-organized store. With a good selection of art and scrapbooking supplies, we'll definitely be back! read more

I love being crafty. I make handmade gifts for friends, an original Fall wreath every year, my custom flower arrangements are from here..and just about everything else I do or make is inspired by this store. I have a whole section of shelves dedicated to arts and craft related stuff and scrapbooking material so every trip here is special. This time around I was hunting for more inspiration. I recently started putting up my own tree and wanted to see if I could make my own ornaments or give them away as gifts. I was also wondering if I could somehow teach myself how to knit. I think I was feeling especially gifted that day. Don't know what I would knit or do with knitting but hey, I'm always up to learning something new. However this store isn't very well stocked like some of the other stores I've been to. It's also cluttered and not very clean. Sales staff wasn't very helpful with my inquires so sadly I left without any ideas for Christmas or the random knitting project I was thinking about. Oh well. Onwards and forewards :) read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Tustin, California

HORRIBLE framing experience! They have ONE person working. What should have taken 2 weeks took OVER TWO MONTHS! 10 days after the pick up date he still did not have it done! So I am waiting for him to frame it because I am NEVER coming back here for him to frame anything ever again! They also have wifi phone service that is so poor you can't even speak to anyone properly. This is the absolute worst experience ever! Michael's DO BETTER! read more

Followed their instructions for adding an "additional pickup person" to our order only to be told upon arrival that they could not locate any update in their system. Jenny was extremely rude and unaccommodating. Will be taking our business to Amazon going forward. read more

Excellent customer service from Manish!! Manish speaks very eloquently and is very friendly, kind, and approachable. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. While he was a cashier for us, he recommended us to save $ by inputting our rewards number as well as checking online for a 20% coupon. He also kindly reassured us of the no hassle return policy in case our products did not work out. Also, great conversation and he was relatable and funny. :) Note: I don't typically review relatively short interactions, however, this interaction was so exceptional that I had to share. :) read more

Michaels - Receipt proof of purchase - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Tustin, California

We love to go to Michael's to see and stock up on our favorite holiday decorations. They always have really fun lines especially at Christmas and Halloween. read more

I really want to love this store....but I can't. I need the sort of supplies that this chain offers, but this store is just so......indifferent. There must be an issue with the supply chain (maybe due to COVID?), because inventory was pretty low in the papercraft aisles where I spend most of my time and money. I recommend that this store get a face lift, pay more attention to attractive layout, be more customer-oriented, staff more cashiers, and spruce up the place a bit! It shouldn't be a chore to shop in a store that is all about creativity! read more

I bought a rolling cart organizer and got home to find out it was broken. I called the store and they told me to bring it in, and that it was no problem that I didn't have my receipt because they would be able to pull it up on my account. I went back to the store and told her I preferred an exchange because I had bought it on sale and it was now full price. Most of the item was still wrapped and unassembled, so it was very clear that the damage happened while in the box. She was unable to pull up my account and therefore unable to find the receipt. She offered me a refund but said I would have to pay the difference if I wanted an exchange. I told her that it was not my fault that it was broken, and it was inconvenient enough carrying it up and down the stairs to my apartment and bringing it back when I found out it was broken. I definitely was not willing to pay extra money when the mistake was on their end and I had been inconvenienced enough because of it. I then realized I had a coupon, which would bring it closer to the sale price, but she said the coupon wouldn't work on this item. To make things even worse, when she gave me the refund, she said they normally wouldn't do this. I find it appalling that Michael's would sell me something broken and not be willing to make it right. I am grateful that I got a refund, but they should have been willing to replace it without expecting me to pay extra. When I told her that I was going to pass, she said that this item goes on sale frequently and to keep looking out for it, but I don't think I'm comfortable buying something from a place that will not stand behind their products. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Tustin, California

They don't stand by their posted prices. Rip off rude manager. I purchased a tray that was on a shelf which had it posted at $9.99 within additional 70% off. They had about 20 trays on the shelf. When I went to the checkout lane they said the price was $19.99 with 70% Off that price. The manager said the shelf tag shouldn't have been there. NOT MY FAULT!! Bad service Way to lose customers read more

They put the mask required banner at the entrance. However, there are some customers without masks still in the store. Not even one staff ever interacts with those customers. Had to call corporate to report the store management team read more

I come here at 8:58am and the store opens at 9am. I'm waiting outside and this lady comes out and tells me "we're not open" and stares at me like "what are you still doing here, go away". She goes back inside the store. I stand there kind of stunned at what just happened. Isn't it TWO MINUTES till open? I was halfway to my car and she rushes out to tell me to come in. She made a mistake. Wtfreak? Can you not treat people so rudely? What bad customer service... if you can't hang in the morning maybe you shouldn't take the early shift. Other than that, this Michaels is like all the other Michaels out there. It is still overpriced, but has cute accessories and will provide you with all your arts and crafts needs. read more
