Michaels

Friendly staff

Agreeing with other reviewers that this location is usually clean, well-​stocked, and offering new items to tempt crafters.
The yarn section can be hit or miss for me if I’m looking for something new. Ditto with florals or baskets. Signing up for online notices nets you sales coupons frequently, which is a nice bonus.
Their pre-​made wreaths and floral designs are often available for deep discounts, especially getting close to the particular holiday they’re promoting. Scored some great deals that way for seasonal décor items.

Nice selection, though less yarn than other stores. Some of the friendlier Michael’s employees in the area. Go here instead of WLV!

Love Michaels! Ever since I discovered this art store I have gotten my art books, sketch books, my art supplies from this place, such a big variety on everything from drawing, to arts and crafts. And they have coupons online to give you discounts, so make sure you check that out before going to the cash register because you could save some money by the coupons, also, it’s easy to get lost.

Michaels is Michaels ! Nice store, somewhat organized. If you want to find something or want to know if an item is in stock… download the app. Asked an employee where something was, he said they didn’t carry this item. Took out my phone BAAM… isle three ! Found what I was looking for :) thanks man for your help

If arts and crafts are your thing, then you have just ventured into a virtual paradise when you trot into Michaels.
My daughter likes to drag me here for all her crafting needs, and let me tell you: they have EVERYTHING. I don’t even know where to start. If you’re doing something artsy, they’ve got you covered.
Parking: Tons of parking. Giant lot.
Staff: Generally friendly. Sometimes they hide and do «stocking» rather than helping customers. Bit funny, but who can blame them.
Prices: I’m not a huge art guy, but the prices have always struck me as reasonable. I haven’t noticed any obscene prices.
Overall, a wonderful store for arts, crafts, and school projects. 4 stars!

All frames are 50% right now. Custom framing 60% off. Store is way more organized lately. Staff is a little… flat as usual. But thats ok. Still lots of sales and decent products.

Unfortunately, due to my area of focus, I must visit this Michael’s location more often than I’d like. This particular store is usually somewhat messy and understocked. My real complaint, though, is with the employees. I understand that for most people, a job is just a means to a paycheck, but some of the kids they hire here make no attempts to obfuscate this obvious truth. Maybe it makes me cranky, but there’s something truly irritating about employees not knowing what a burnisher is, or mounting board… or whether it is in stock or if they even carry it. When I go here, I know I’m on my own, because if you can’t find it, good luck finding someone who works here who can.

This is a nice Michael’s location. It is well kept and clean. Some of the aisles get crowded with holiday promotional items, but they always keep it clean and well organized. This store is always well stocked and I can usually find everything that I am looking for here. I love the dollar bin section right by checkout. I always find great little gift items there.
The staff is friendly and helpful. Sometimes they do seem a little understaffed and it may take a while to find someone to help you or the wait at the register may take a little longer. They do seem to have more staff during the busier afternoon hours.
There is plenty of parking in the adjacent lot but it does get busy on the weekends. They do have good sales and always offer coupons. Make sure to check the ads for the specials.

I like this store a bit better than the one in Encino. More staff. Store is nice and clean. Really organized. The reason for 4 stars is because I think a few items are actually cheaper at the other Michaels. So I didn’t purchase anything today.

if i could give no stars i would have, horrible experience Britney the «manager» had the worst attitude, rude and nasty and giggled the whole time, will never go back

I can’t speak for the other Michael’s stores, but this one in Moorpark is hit or miss. The general layout and organization of the store appears cluttered and it’s often difficult to find what you’re looking for. Finding a staff member to help you find something isn’t always successful either. The last time I was here three weeks ago, the staff member didn’t know if they carried material I was looking for and seemed uninterested in asking someone else who did know.
They seem to have a huge selection of scrapbooking supplies, silk flowers and a fair amount of framing and painting supplies as well. However with everything else, they’re on the light side of things. I frequently need sewing supplies, including fabric remnants and Michael’s does not carry fabric. Their leather working selection is extremely sparse and aside from some plastic model kits, there’s little reason for me to come back.
For those who are more into home decorating, stenciling and scrapbooks, this store will work fine. For the rest of us, we unfortunately have to keep looking…

This place has the strangest smell. Every time I come in here the smell just hits you in the face, and they have like 5 registers but there is only ever 2 people on! And the 2 people that are on are insanely rude. Waiting in line for 45 minutes to buy some freaking glitter glue, then to be «greeted» by an awful person is not fun. I will be shopping online.

I started coming here very often because I took the cake decorating class courses 1,3&4, (yess I skipped course 2 for schedule reason). And Stephanie the instructor is great.
The staff are nice, and always able to help me out when I need to find things for class.

Not super organized. Stuff on the wrong shelves. Grumpy workers. BUT, 20% off special orders. Soooo…

I took an original Jim Morrison oil painting here for framing. I had no idea what type of frame I wanted and I am indecisive as it is. It didn’t help seeing a bazillion options hanging on the wall and the employee was very patient and helpful with narrowing it down. I said I wanted something «old school rock n’ roll» and she immediately recommended an aged black leather frame. I pretty much erupted in cheer when hearing this and told her she was brilliant. I mean Morrison basically slept in leather pants and no one can pull them off better than him; OK maybe skinny Axl Rose but that is up for debate.
What is worth mentioning is they scan your picture into their computer and show you exactly what it will look like in different frames. This is really great in determining how much to crop if you are using matt.
At the time they were running a 75% off framing deal and we all know how expensive framing can be so I was stoked on the price. The painting is now on my wall and I couldn’t be happier. Cheers

Love this place. Whatever you need, they will most likely have it. Scrapbooking, Yarn, Baskets, Ribbons, Flowers… the list goes on. Must more impressive than Joann’s (unless in comparison the the Joann super stores which are up to par with Michael’s). Highly recommend this Michael’s in particular to fulfill your crafting, baking and decorating needs!

Seriously people we live in the small town of Moorpark. Why do expect supper Michael’s, they would make it! If you need the large stores with huge selections drive in to the city!
It’s a great store! almost every time I go in there I find what I am looking for. I give it a five start because I believe in supporting our local stores. If we don’t, they won’t be around!

Unfortunately, I’ve noticed the same decline in stock at Michael’s as I have in other arts and crafts stores, where they’ll refer you to shopping online because they don’t carry it in store, which is a bummer.
I came in looking for some glass etching supplies, and the employee that I asked was clearly newer but was a good sport about helping me find it and guessed at the right aisle. Thanks, young man!
At the check-​out, an amazing younger cashier took a return and scanned a coupon with no problem (I see in earlier reviews that seemed to be an issue), but at the other registers two cashiers were referring to each other loudly and condemningly about a return that a customer was trying to make without a receipt — I felt embarrassed on her behalf!
This shopping experience held no charm for me — but I was able to at least get the etching cream that I was excited about. I guess I’ll have to search other stores to find the rest of my supplies, or do what they recommended and go online. :sigh:

Can you say crappy customer service?
I knew you could.
The cashiers on this saturday morning need to find something better to do with their lives then making rude comments.
