Brian was so amazing. He helped me with the self checkout. He was very respectful and deserves a raise! Really appreciate you, Brian!

Subject: Outstanding Employee Recognition - Heather (Lando Canyon Store) I'm writing to recognize Heather at your Michaels store on Lando Canyon for truly exceptional customer service. During my visit, I was searching for specific sketch pencils and met an elderly woman (around 80 years old) who was struggling to find certain paint brushes. She had already been looking for quite some time, and I spent about 30 minutes helping her before we decided to call the store for assistance. Heather answered the call and came to the back of the store within minutes. She spent significant time helping us locate the exact paint brushes needed (sizes #2 and #8), searching inventory, scanning items, and even helping us find additional ones that were on sale so the customer could purchase the quantity she needed. She then continued helping me search for my items as well. What impressed me most was that while assisting us, Heather was also helping multiple other customers, answering questions, and supporting her team through her headset--all while remaining calm, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. I have rarely seen someone provide this level of attentive, multitasking customer service with such a positive attitude. I did mention this to a manager in-store, but I wanted to ensure Heather receives formal recognition as well. She is an outstanding employee and a true asset to your team. read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Westlake Village, California

Sandra was absolutely fantastic yesterday! She was the only one at the register and self check out station. She did a great job of multi tasking and she had a positive attitude. read more

Did an online order recently for pick up, which was nice and easy, but when I got home I noticed that there was a clearance tag on it for half the price that I paid. It was really easy to go on the website and chat with someone to get the difference refunded! read more

The employees who were working were disinterested in actually assisting customers. I wandered the store for 15 or so minutes looking for the item I needed. Staff steadfastly refused any eye contact. I eventually gave up and went to Hobby Lobby. Was greeted when I walked in, shown where my item was (I bought 2!) and I was done. Although Michael's has always been my go-to place, I am now a Hobby Lobby fan!!!! read more

I did curb pickup for my order. I checked in when I arrived at the pick up stall waited 15 minutes, but no one brought my order out. I went inside and there were two employees standing around. I said I have been waiting at the curbside for my order but no one came out. The female employee just looked at me and asked for my last name. She couldn't find my order but I found it right away and got my own order. She didn't say anything and I left. Such bad customer service. read more

Great customer service, took a while to get ahold of someone on the phone, once I did it was a great and helpful conversation.

Needed a black, iron-on, fabric repair patch. Simple, right? Nope. After a bit of searching (I had the right aisle, but their iron-on tapes and patches were oddly split into two area on opposite sides), I discovered the item was out of stock. Okay - that happens. Seeing no one around (always hard to find people there), I took a pic of the UPC code on the shelf tag and went to the front. I waited in the check out line behind a couple people for the only employee I saw. I showed him the pic and he said that shipments come in on Fridays. Well, this was Friday. I asked if he was able to confirm that the item would be on that shipment. He said he couldn't tell. I then asked for a supervisor, saying they should know. He said he'd check to see if someone was available. I told him they should be available - interaction is part of what they do. He radio'd somebody but I could only hear his side of the conversation. Apparently there's no way to tell what's on the truck. I pointed out how that made no sense. Does corporate just send random items? Somehow, someone must alert them to what is needed. They must also get some record of what will be coming or discontinued. This is not complex. Other entities do it. For example, Costco can tell me how many of any given item will be arriving and on what date. The records exist somewhere. Just let me know so I don't return prematurely. In any case, the non-visible supervisor said there was no way to tell. But what a time-saver for them!! They don't have to go through any manifest when the shipment arrives to be sure they received everything they were supposed to... Yeah, right. At least Target is around the corner. And there's always Amazon as a fall-back. read more

RE: MICHAELS BRANCH IN WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA 5780 Lindero Canyon Rd Westlake Village, CA 91362 (818) 707-0013 ORDERED SUBMITTED ONLINE: Thurs., 11-27-25 after 10pm for CURBSIDE On Fri., 11-28-25, we got a text that our order was ready, and to click the link for Curbside delivery. We clicked "ON OUR WAY", then arrived there, clicked on "I'M HERE" and then it asked what SPACE # we were parked in. We did all that, and screen said they'll be out soon with our order. Waited, waited, waited, sat there, waited, and finally called the store and asked if they knew we were sitting there. The girl said, "we don't have enough employees to bring your order out, so you have to come inside the store". We told her that's impossible, we're not dressed correctly to be getting out of the car (hence doing Curbside), and that we had our dogs with us & they were not leashed & can't be left in the car alone. The girl told us to go back home and basically change our clothing, get leashes, and then go back to the store, to go inside. We called Michaels Corporate Office in TX, and reported her and the incident. They gave us our money back, and apologized profusely, saying this was completely unacceptable, unprofessional, and that this is NOT what Michaels stands for. read more

AWFUL STAFF AND EMPLOYEES worst experience !!!!!it could have been just the morning and it is my first experience like that but i always come in the afternoon to this store (my job is in crafts) on this morning Taylor an employe walking around reeked of not just alcohol but just very unclean her hair a complete mess hygiene did not seem to be a priority i get it its early thats fine not even my main concern but she walks past me on her phone talking and cussing like shes not at work (i get its just a retail store ive been there) but i quickly stop her since she is the first employee i see, I ask a questions about the location of the paint and she answers smiles and begins to walk away i say oh sorry one more thing clay. she looks down at her phone does something looks at me annoyed and just rolls her eyes and points somewhere off in the store as she walks away as i searched I literally passed her 3 times all times her phone in hand talking , i come here often but by far worst experience i will be taking this further as i see many reports about the same employee harassing people and getting arrested at your store very sad seems you guys just hire anyone and if that at least training should be pushed and improved read more

*DO NOT ORDER SAME DAY DELIVERY* I ordered same day delivery for the first time with this store, and two hours later, I still had no update. Speaking with the store was no help, and so I called the official Michaels number and also used their online chat. BOTH REPRESENTATIVES LIED TO ME and told me my order was picked up and was out for delivery. The time it was apparently picked up was a time in the future. So it was impossible that it was picked up. Sure enough, upon calling the store again, it was confirmed that my order was never picked up. I was lied to TWICE by Michaels representatives. Unfortunately I am currently unable to drive, and I assumed at that point I would never receive my order. And so I cancelled. I won't ever shop at Michaels again knowing their customer support blatantly lies about order status. Please take caution when placing same delivery orders with them. read more

You're store is the worst ever!! Actually the company is and I will never shop at any Michael's again!! Customers must self check no matter what. They have no respect for the handicap. The doors must be pushed open which is impossible to do. That is illegal and beyond wrong. The issue about self check out is not acceptable and the lack of employees is worst!! I won't ever return and will tell each and everyone of my friends!! Unfortunately JoAnn went out of business but guess what, your next!! Wake up and have employees check out customers and teach them to smile and assist them. read more

I asked for help at the yarn and needle department. A staff helped me and call the manager, I waited 15 minutes and no body showed up. Walked to the same girl and asked if I buy and can't use it, can I return it? She said yes. While waiting in line to pay, I saw other staff and asked, she said no if it's open. Ugh! This store is completely understaffed. I'm going to other place if I need some assistance because clearly this place is just like a dollar store. Staff have no clue and can't help you. read more

RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE. If you can't be nice don't work with the public. There is no one in the store shopping and the rude older lady working the front is lazy and not interested in helping people. read more

For some strange reason the heater is on, OMG I'm roasting! I'm trying to shop but I'm sweating, and I am having a hard time concentrating because its simply too hot in here.. Sadly, I do have to get a few things so I will simply pretend that I'm inside a sauna and make the best of it. Thinking positive!! read more

A couple of friends had a very craft intense project that they wanted to initiate. I am really not the crafty type in so I went to Joannes in search of 6 mm millimeter 10 mm 13 mm beads and crimpers and wire cutters and vinyl coated wire and all of this was a whole new world to me. I am almost 8 months pregnant and I stood in that aisle and Joanne's for 2 1/2 hours without anybody asking if I needed help and I found some of the beads I was looking for but I actually was surprised at how expensive they were even though they were on sale. My friends told me to return my goods at Joannes and head on over to Michael's and I could not be happier with my experience there. I was helped almost immediately and provided with a crimper tool in crimper bed covers which came in handy because first time beaters sometimes make mistakes as I have. I'm so glad the sales person knew what she was doing/what she was talking about! I ended up making a JUZU bead set for meditation purposes and it came out beautifully -- thank you so much Michaels! Loving it! read more

Going up a star for my experience with this store today. I had called them earlier in the day to ask about items that are pictured on their website, but listed as "purchase in store". The Moorpark location doesn't stock the items. They suggested calling Westlake. By chance, the manager ended up helping me. She took the stock numbers and found multiple selections on her sales floor of the type of item I was seeking. Then we talked about the fact that they just had a sale end yesterday, and this class of stock wasn't on sale right now. I am part of their rewards program, and should have received a discount email. She said I could use one she had in the store, as she could tell from the email contents that I am in the program. When I went in this evening, they did have lots of selection in the planner section, as promised. I also checked the yarn area. Found a totally new kind of yarn that I'm anxious to see how it will work up. The store seemed more pulled together than it sometimes is, and the checkout line moved quickly. I got what I came for, plus the new yarn. The manager was already gone for the day, but her kind help on the phone set up a good visit for when I stopped in later. read more

Came in looking for material to make a stencil to go on top of a bread I was baking. Initially, I couldn't find a sales associate for assistance until I spotted Raquel. I asked her where I might find material to use to make a waterproof stencil. She was quite hurried, told me that what I was seeking was not available in the store. She did tell me where the exacto knives were located and that only one type was sold. I then asked if there might be another person to help me that wasn't in such a rush and had more time. She told me she was just called to Framing as the store was very busy. She further informed me she was one of the managers and no one in the store knew about stencils. Very interesting, I said to myself, as this is a craft store. So I walked down one of the isles and came upon a very nice sales associate named Brittany. I'm so glad everyone wears their name pins. Brittany did her best to help and when she couldn't find the right material she asked Marlin who was also very kind. He found just what I needed. I'd like to suggest the sales associates teach the managers a thing or two about customer service. read more

I've never witnessed this level of incompetence and disregard to a customer's experience before at a store. They got my online order wrong, gave me an extremely difficult time replacing it, offering no solutions whatsoever. Their tone and attitude is super unprofessional. Then after 20 minutes of waiting they gave me an item with missing parts and when I asked for another replacement they continued to be incompetent, rude, and unhelpful. It's only because I insisted on not leaving without a correct item did they give me what I'm asking for but if it was up to them they would've just let me leave without helping me after THEY made a mistake TWICE! read more

The framing department at this location provides knowledgeable and expert advice. After we came back from our Alaskan adventure, we had several wonderful prints that we absolutely wanted to frame and to display at our house. While I don't remember the name of the person who helped us at Michael's, I can say that he was really good at helping us pick the right frame material, frame color and matting. We must have spent over an hour looking at various framing options at Michael's. The end result was simply gorgeous. We really enjoyed our framing experience at Michael's. We will definitely be back. read more

Got projects? Michaels is a hobbyists dream. Everything under the sun, and when you need something that no one else has -- come here, they more than likely have it. Whether it's arts, crafts, knitting, or make-yourself decorating. They got it all. They also have lots of things on special, because us Yelpers like to spend our hard earned $ on food! Location specific: Westlake Village, CA ============================== * Smaller than all other Michaels I've been to, which means, less SKU's = smaller selection = less inventory. Bigger store: on Moorpark in Thousand Oaks. * I found their service very nice and helpful. * For Art supplies and framing, I prefer Aaron Bros on Moorpark (Jans Mall). Rating ===== * Still worthy and 4.0 stars. read more

Went to buy canvases, found a 3 pack from a bunchthat were stacked there; priced for $3, took it to tegister & they would not honor the price ebenthough there was a stack of them. David the manager or supervisor said it was just over by someone & he wouldn't honor it. False advertisement & how does it ALL get pushed to that sign, he took off the price. Won't be going back. Manager was rude & entitled. You are supposed to honor the price that the item is priced. Not my fault someone stocked all of them there. read more

They have the worst customer service here. No one cares to help you find anything you need. I was looking for someone on the floor to ask if they had a tree in stock. No one was around so I scanned the tag on the display one and pulled the item up online. I get to the checkout and ask the cashier if he can look. "Do you have the item number?" I say "here is the listing online" and zoom in on the item number. He responds "no not that number the number of the tree" am I supposed to know this? I say "oh I don't know what that means. Oh here it is, lot #130?" And replies "no that's not it" okaaaay I guess I'll run back over there to take a picture of the tag? I do that and come back to cash register (mind you no one is in line behind us) and I show him the tag and surely it says "lot #130." He asks a girl working if she knows if it's in stock. She doesn't even look at any information and said "no the system just hasn't updated and I know I just sold the last one." I said "online it's showing available for pick up." again she says no I know I sold the last one. We go back to the cash register and one of the items doesn't have a tag. The guy asks if we can go get another one off the shelf. Hello?! I don't work here?? So we go back to the shelf and come back to the register, he scans it, and doesn't take the extra item to put back himself.. nope we were holding it still while he said it's up to us if we want to walk it back to the shelf, he said "well it's up to you, I don't need it." He has us walk it back to the shelf to put back. I ordered the tree online for pickup and now I have to go all the way back (across town for me) to pick it up because employees can't be bothered to service their customers. read more

This Michaels was ready for me. Had my 4 frames ready to go. Just walk up to the cashier. Ron was helpful in the framing dept. Maria the cashier was equally as pleasant. Great service always makes me want to come back for more. I noticed they also offer birthday parties with art & crafts as an activity. Or just go in for a class. See the pic I added. read more

Ron in the framing department is truly one of a kind. He went the extra mile on every inch of a project I ordered. He absolutely went beyond excellent customer service and I am eternally grateful to him! We had a frame made about a year ago, and it burned in the fire. I had come back in to get another one remade, but with cork and fabric. It's not something I would say they normally do, but he truly listened and helped me. I can't say enough amazing things about my new friend Ron! read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Westlake Village, California

This is the second closest Michaels to where I live (which is honestly still pretty close). Big store (just like most Michaels), they usually have a nice selection. It's rare that I see the store I stocked. Depending on what time you go the staff can be on short supply, but super helpful nonetheless. read more

Poor customer service. When we place online orders for pick up, they always package the wrong items. If it's because they're out of stock, they don't inform us nor do they reimburse us the difference between what we ordered and what we got. Never apologetic. Not great inventory in stock when shopping in store. My least favorite Michaels. read more

This is the worst Michaels I have ever been to. The staff are so rude, the place is dirty and unorganized and they treat their employees like absolute shit. All the staff are miserable and depressed and horrible to be around. 10000/10 do not recommend. They are always out of stuff and there are roaches in the store. All the staff's breath reek. read more

I have really had it with this Michael's. Do they ever stock their shelves? Any time I have ever wanted to buy more than one of an item I have either had to special order it (and they never call to tell you it is in) or go to another Michael's to find more. Shelves are usually pretty empty as though the day before has always been a major holiday. Usually it has just been a Tuesday. The store is in a great location with plenty of parking so it could potentially be good. There is also never anyone to help you. Come on Michael's, this is Westlake Village; step it up! ****UPDATE****I am not sure what happened but this Michael's has had a total change in customer service. I always give credit where credit is due. There are at least five employees on the floor to assist customers as of last week. Cashiers open a new line if there are two people in one line and shelves seem to be amply stocked! I am loving it! Maybe someone really is reading the Yelp reviews. read more

This review is for the Framing Department. Hubby and I decided to take a couple of concert posters here to have them framed. We've had other posters framed at Michael's in WA state, and weren't looking forward to coming in... I am a patient person, but I have foot problems and it's painful to stand in one place for a long period of time... So we were expecting a long wait, inattentive staff and sore feet. We were in for a pleasant surprise. Although there was someone already being helped, there was a second employee who was able to help us right away. Yay! The guy who helped us was very knowledgeable. He also handled our limited edition concert posters extremely carefully, which I appreciated. Although we pretty much knew what we wanted to do with the mats and framing beforehand, he made suggestions that made us rethink what we had originally thought. Another co-worker wandered by and made another suggestion that really looked great with our artwork. They also have a new feature where they can give you a visual preview of what your artwork will look like with the frame and mat. Pretty cool. A couple weeks later we picked up our art and were very impressed with the results (as usual). But this time we were impressed not only with the end result, but with the service we received. The next time we decide to have a couple more posters framed, we will definitely be back to Michael's! read more

Jeffrey the manager was beyond helpful and amazing. We stop in the store and need additional items and he checked other stores between Thousands Oak and Riverside to find the additional items... Thanks Jeff and team read more
