I'm going on 12 years of trusting them to fill out nameplates on a plaque. It's hit or miss. Every year, I give them my name, my phone number, the title of the plaque, yet they seem to be unable to locate any record of the prior year's nameplate typeface/size. They start from scratch. They make mistakes, forcing me to make multiple trips downtown. The fellows who work there are okay, but the disarray in the store is indicative of their sloppy record-keeping.

They are probably not the cheapest, but they are local, and they do an exceptional job.

KF pumped more color into the final product and sealed it onto an acrylic material that will last another 100 years. Jack helped me choose the right material patiently and delivered finished product and my originals (not damaged or lost!). I can't imagine the details involved in this project - but I'm impressed and grateful. Since my Search delivered Keith Fabry as the only center who could handle my request - I'm relieved. The value for better -than- perfect - is priceless. No complaints. No problems

While our company is based in CA, we had an event in Richmond, VA and I needed a vertical banner…read moreASAP and was wary to transport one there and back. Plus, I had a very tight timeline of 3 days, and no other printer could offer any assurance the banner would be ready/delivered in time. I found one of Keith Fabry's websites and ordered an overnight bannerstand for pickup at their office. I uploaded the file in the early moring hours and it was printed and ready for pickup the same day! Even though my flight landed later than scheduled, Debra took care of me and I was able to get the banner in plenty of time for the event. As for the banner, I paid for upgraded material and it came out looking great and was packed very well, so I was able to transport the banner via checked baggage on my return flight without issue. While KF may not be the least costly, their pricing is fair for their amazing turnaround and excellent customer service. Plus, they offer printing for Canva files which makes printing large items even easier for the casual designer or ad-hoc sign needs. Another shoutout to Debra and the entire team at KF!

We took forever and she never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable. She was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and professional. They also have a cute little gift shop with picture frames, small bridal party gifts, and other keepsakes. I bought some items that day and will be going back for more. I would recommend Invitation to Party to any of my friends or family for their stationary needs.

We were having a destination wedding, so there was a lot of information that needed to be communicated to the guests in the invitations. They came up with creative solutions so we didn't have to have too many separate cards in the envelops or spend a fortune on unnecessary extra cards! After the first proofs came through, there were a couple minor changes that I asked for and they executed those changes with no trouble at all! I got so many compliments on the invitations and am so grateful for the work they did. Will definitely use Invitation to Party again in the future!

I waited a month or so before I returned and Jay remembered me. We tossed around some ideas before coming up with the final look for my fiancee's engagement ring. Jay took a vintage pendant and melded it with a new shank to produce a wonderful ring. My fiancee was wowed and I was very happy as well. Add in the fact that I didn't break the bank and it's hard to find a reason why we wouldn't go back to Jay for any of our jewelry needs. Jay's the man!

He's also got a few pre-made wedding bands and engagement rings. He does lots of engagement rings. He'll help you from start to finish, or if you have a diamond, you can bring it to him and he'll design a setting. He can also do about any other custom job you can think up. I love this place because Jay Sharpe is sooo nice. He's just a genuinely friendly guy who's extremely talented. Custom jewelry isn't always in my budget, but if it was, I'd always end up here.

I can be very self-conscious and my own worst critic. Rachel made sure every step of the way I was comfortable, and I felt confident. I was able to find my dream dress, and I fell in love with it! My mom and sister were with me and it was just a perfect (and quick!) experience Also - if you go there please try this dress on! It was absolutely gorgeous, but it just didn't fit my venue vibes!

There are two fitting rooms next to each other, but separated by a room divider. Each fitting room was spacious and had a little stage with couches surrounding them. I had a fantastic experience. I filled out a form about what I was looking for beforehand. Quincy pulled out some dresses she thought I'd like and really did an amazing job. She was kind, patient, and extremely helpful. I tried on a lot of beautiful dresses all within my budget which I loved. She was so transparent about pricing and which dresses were made to order. Although I haven't officially bought a dress yet, I really keep daydreaming about one specific one I fell in love with here. I highly recommend visiting Blue Sage Bridal for your wedding dress needs.

My fiancé and I were excited to get our rings resized at a local neighborhood shop! We had a pretty…read moregreat experience, however, felt that there was some poor communication. Overall, we had a good experience here. We dropped off my wedding ring to get resized first and what we thought would be his. They sized us and helped us with the paperwork. They told us they'd resize the rings for $60 each and we would pay half up front. As we were leaving, we saw the receipt had a size too small, thankfully we caught that and they edited it in time. They called us the next day to let us know they could not resize his ring, which I was grateful for the communication and transparency. It took about three weeks to pick up my gold ring, which wasn't an issue. We just thought it might be faster because when we called to ask they kept telling us it should be ready the soon. Be mindful that they'll call you when it's done. Picking up my ring was amazing and it looked great. We ended up finding my fiancé a white gold ring he loved so we took it here to resize. They told us they could do it quickly without any charge for expedited service and we'd pay later instead of half upfront. They did finish it within a week, but they did not tell us it was almost double the price ($125). We later learned that you have to redip white gold, but I wish we were told this in person. I would still go back for my jewelry needs, just know that you might want to ask questions ahead of time and that communication can be a little wonky. But the product you get back is great!

I have patronized this business for many years and did so again in December to support a black…read morebusiness. I had six pair of earrings that I wanted repaired. It took 4 months to get five pairs of earrings back from the jeweler. The other pair was "not ready" I was told each time I called. I had purchased this pair of earrings in November of 2024 and brough them to Waller in December after the post fell off. When I called Waller's about this last pair, I was told that they would "check on it" and each time NOONE called me back. After a few months of this cycle with no ETA in sight, I informed them that I would be coming into the store in person to pick up my property - even if it was not fixed. It turns out that the repair person works offsite at his home (this was not disclosed to me when I dropped off my property) and broke my earrings while trying to solder the pin to the earring. Waller admitted that they had ordered another pair of earrings "from overseas" to replace mine. It is clear that the intent was to try to replace my earrings without my knowledge with a pair that was probably lower quality. I was told that the pair was ordered two months ago and would be in soon. This was over a month ago. Since then I have received no call - no communication whatsoever from this business. This is the most disappointing part of my story as it is clear that they do not care about their customers at all. Waller's is still holding my broken earrings hostage and has neither replaced them nor offered me compensation for them. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Shame on me for doing business with them. Never again!

The customer service was total garbage, I was 5 minutes late to my appointment due to morning traffic and still had to wait 20+ minutes for my stylist to stop screwing around with phone calls and her kid before she even thought it was convenient to start working on my hair. *And that's after she arrived to work 7 minutes after me: her appointment* *I watched the time closely because I almost walked out* While my hair was getting done, I was given a review of my hair texture and whats best for starting my dreads. I let my stylist know that it was my first time ever getting my hair twisted so I was a bit clueless about the locking process and I think making my inexperience known was HUGE mistake at this place. After I left, I had to constantly re-twist my UNWASHED, RUSHED, and UNEVEN, 2-strand twists after the first few hours of walking out of their trash salon since some of my twists were already unraveling and getting puffy at the ends. I repeat: DO NOT GIVE THESE SCUMBAGS ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS. AVOID
