I'm usually not so long-winded with my Yelp reviews, but I had reserved a chunk of my afternoon for…read morea visit to this store, so I clearly have plenty of time on my hands right now... I discovered General Wax earlier this year when I thought candle making would be a fun hobby. I brought a friend along to their North Hollywood location for what was advertised as an educational class. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like a class much at all but more like an activity. The 'instructor' claimed to sell her own candle creations, yet seemed surprisingly unknowledgeable. Our group was outspoken and asked lots of questions, but she was incredibly vague and nonchalant. When asked basic technical questions like how different fragrances react with specific waxes or how to choose the right wax for a project, she couldn't even provide clear answers. I really didn't learn much of anything at this paid class. (Fyi, I turned to YouTube!) The store itself is spacious and well organized, but be very careful with their pricing. I've found that many of their supplies are significantly marked up compared to local craft stores or Amazon. For example, I bought a digital scale here that turned out to be a non-functioning and non-reliable piece of trash. After some research, I realized they charged me three times more than better models available online. Thankfully, I was able to return it. Their fragrance selection and quality is mostly great and I do like their wax. The staff doesn't go out of their way to help but are approachable and friendly. What prompted this review today was a total lack of communication regarding their hours. I checked their website before leaving my house to ensure they were open. The only holiday closure banner on their website was for a holiday that happened months ago (labor day). After a 40-minute drive, I arrived to find the gates closed. I had to pull over and call, only to hear a recording stating they are closed for the next 10 days for holidays and inventory. It's incredibly irritating to waste that much time and gas because a business can't be bothered to update their website. Honestly, it shows that they don't really value their customers or their time.

I saw an ad on instagram and was really happy to see it was so close to my house…read more So I treated a friend and myself for a candle making class and it was really fun and affordable. We really enjoyed the experience and the instructor was friendly and answered everyone's questions. We received a coupon to purchase things after the class so I have supplies and new skills to make some candle gifts! Plenty of parking! Enjoy!

No matter what, I make it a point to stick to a writing schedule until my office fills up with the scent of sugar cookies.

Its fragrance goes well with my morning cup of espresso. Sometimes, I find my writing trails off into food territory. Hmm, now I know why.

My wife…read morewent to Sephora and I didn't want to be in that store waiting for her so I came to see what candles White Barn has. When I walked inside the store on the second floor, a worker greeted me and told me about their deals. She also asked if I was looking for anything in particular and I told her I wasn't but was just browsing. So she said she'll be here if I had any questions. They have some nice scents for candles and also plug in air freshener as well. They had some good deals on certain items but I didn't buy anything. This store is basically connected to Bath and Body works so sometimes people think it's the same store.

We have several throughout LA and a business associate of ours gifted us a few of these large candles as an "opening" gift. I was ordering a few cakes today at the store nearby and decided to walk in to the store as I had never been in. I am so convinced this was a "Pretty Woman" scenario. We had a big recording artist doing an all night session and I had been at the studio all night. Hair in a messy bun. Jeans and a sweatshirt. No make up. Walked into the store while the person working (girl with long dark hair - around 12:30pm on 5/28) was finishing helping a customer. Overheard the sales associate talking to her about the candles used at Hotel Bel Aire and she seemed lovely - to the other customer. That customer left and I was alone. In the store. I browsed and smelled some candles. Looked at some flip flops and cute little sun screen options at the front. NOT A WORD. not a hello. Not a - can I help you with anything? Wouldn't even look at me. I spent a few more minutes there and after feeling so uncomfortable and unwelcomeI left. Not a goodbye. Not a thank you. Literally NOTHING. I will continue buying my TRUDON and FORNASETTI and LOEWE candles and shop at boutiques that value me as a customer. Never again will I step foot into this place or buy from them.

Love Scents of Purpose!! I've sampled just about every fragrance of their candles now and become a…read moreregular buyer, and none of them are cloying OR underwhelming as a room aroma and body perfume -- a really hard balance to find with household aromas overall. Best of all, the candles contain no wax, instead swapping out the usual harsh chemicals with a ton of AMAZING ingredients for your skin and essential oils for fragrance, and the melted soy "wax" replacement doubles as a super rich massage oil, which I now use daily on my hands, elbows, knees, and feet. I recently watched a (red) stretch mark entirely disappear after rubbing the oil into it several times a day for a couple of weeks!! I've also noticed a huge improvement in the softness/suppleness of my skin in rough areas overall, and I'm constantly receiving compliments on the aroma (my personal favorite is the rose fragrance). For muscle pain, I also find that the warm oil is very effective when used as a massage oil at home, especially after a hot Epsom salt bath. :) HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!!
