It was a fun and creative experience at the LA location but I have to share my experience from top…read moreto bottom because it could have been better for what it cost. I bought a pair of $150 'student' tickets as a fun activity for me and my boyfriend. We planned a trip to LA from Seattle, so we included this in our itinerary as it takes the majority of the day. A day before the actual class, I emailed both the 'contact' and 'support' emails online which happened to be the same person who responded (founder, Ruben Barraza). I ended up not finding a pair of shoes I wanted to customize, so I reached out to see if I could just use my 'student' ticket as a 'guest' pass which is essentially a downgrade just to watch/ help my boyfriend with his shoes and get credit for the $70 difference to use for laces or anything extra he might get. The response to my email was super brief, brash and dismissive. There was some back and forth considering I emailed well before the 12-hour policy to see if there was a work around. Mind you, I wasn't asking to reschedule nor could I since we were visiting, and I wasn't asking for a refund--I read the policy carefully before purchasing and was well aware there are no refunds. I was simply asking to do what I was intending to do anyway, which was attend the class--just without a pair of shoes. The owner basically stated that there's no store credit according to the site which actually didn't state that at all, and they can't accommodate and suggested bringing a pair of shoes further reinforcing the fact that he didn't read my initial email stating that I didn't find any in time, which was really disappointing and BS customer service considering that he already had my money and I wasn't asking for anything extra. I get setting standards but that's a scheisty and greedy business model. About the actual class, I ended up going in and letting one of the operators know my situation and they were super cool with it like it was no big deal. Surprising considering my conversation with the owner. The class itself was set up really well, there was a whiteboard with a breakdown of the class with time codes of what the process was and how long each step should take. They went over the materials available and others that could be purchased and it was fun and a breeze. The instructors consistently came around, checked in on us throughout the class, gave some great tips and helped create or complete people's designs and were super personable and charismatic. Great people overall. The downside was that I bought a pair of SB Dunk Triple Whites for the project and after spending a good amount of time designing and painting, we gave the shoes to one of the instructors to sew on the fabric swoosh cut outs, and it came out super crappy. The stitching wasn't even at all and it looked botched. At that point undoing it would've ruined the paint and would have just been more of an ordeal. I've used sewing machines before and I knew that the instructor forgot to put the foot of the machine down, and I even heard the other instructor letting him know on someone else's pair. I think paying $150 per person a class, the instructors should have those basics down. Unfortunately, we were pretty bummed with the outcome so I tried to cover up the edges of the swoosh with more paint and glitter and it just came out looking bad overall. So to anyone going, I would suggest going in with an inexpensive, basic pair of shoes because I felt like I wasted money both on the shoes and the class on the Triple Whites that got botched. Based on the videos of the classes and what they post on instagram, I just didn't expect that to happen. Anyway, still a cool class to take but the customer service from the owner could definitely use improvement and making sure the instructors are skilled and paying attention to their sewing would definitely lend to a better experience.

They offered suggestions even though there were 25+ of us in various stages of attentiveness. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. I had such a nice time that I booked another experience to celebrate my daughter's birthday. This time was different and felt ... perfunctory. We arrived right before our scheduled time, I was starting to tell the person who received us (I was told she was the owner even) that we had arrived quite a bit early (like we got there before the store even opened so we walked around for a bit before arriving 1 min before our reservation) before she abruptly said no it was already time and everyone else had gotten started. Just reminded me of the plethora of email reminders I'd received from them reminding us to arrive on time, allow time for parking, etc. She didn't even greet us or say hello or welcome. Never introduced herself, never asked our names. Just a "do you have a reservation?" And told us to put our stuff down (didn't tell us where) and put on an apron. We ended up putting our things down on someone else's seats because others were standing in front of ours while four others were choosing their scents for their candles. Told us we'd have to wait since there was no room for us to choose our scents so we just stood there. No one even said, hey why don't you wander around the store for a bit until space clears up. And why rudely tell us they'd already started when we just had to stand there and wait anyway? I really felt like we were in the way rather than paying customers, so I told my girls they could look around the shop for a minute rather than awkwardly stand there in front of someone else's seats. The person who helped us with our candle making was nice but kind of just gave us instructions of what to do. One of the girls mentioned how it was kind of like chemistry class so we all talked about science for a bit. I reminded the staff that the day was for my daughter's birthday (I had specified on the reservation) so she gave a quick little happy birthday before moving on. I didn't feel she was particularly helpful though. I asked how we can decide how much of one scent versus another and she just said you kind of just smell it. My daughter asked if she could make the color of her candle a little lighter and the person was just like, well, we can't guarantee what it will look like, but she was very helpful in breaking up the colored wax for her. When we returned to pick up our candles, that was it, they were just sitting there on the counter, packaged up and crammed into one little bag. I wanted to ask for another bag since each candle was going to a different household, but the staff gave off vibes of "go away". I distinctly remember the first time, each candle was packaged in their own little bag with the lid off the candle and they told us it was really important to let the candle "cure" and completely dry for three days before putting the lid on or lighting it. This time the candles were sealed up, no thank you for coming. No I hope you enjoy your candles. I can only assume this day was an outlier and maybe the staff were having a not great day. The experience is not cheap at $60 for which you create a 7 oz candle. I understand the cost isn't just for a candle, but for the experience of creating. The cost of the materials was probably minimal. But for that expense, I would have expected the experience to be a little less icy and a little more friendly (like during my first visit). Thankfully, my girls enjoyed their candles and had fun and were super thankful.
