Michaels

I was recently in Michaels on Savi Ranch in Yorba Linda. I was so pleased to be helped by Jenny in the floral department. I was getting ideas for something special and she created exactly what I wanted, called me when it was done for pickup and I was more than happy with the design she came up with it. I feel she went above and beyond. I will definitely use her services again.

Leave your R2-​D2 at the door.
This is a go to place for my wife and I for all of our random crafting urges.
Pros: Plentiful supply of crafting materials. Enough online coupons to make you think you are getting a deal, even when you aren’t. The staff knows their stuff. I once asked a staff member where they kept their magnifying headgear and they came back with it in a few seconds like they had a map of every item in the store. The prices are pretty good and I have never had an issue with finding exactly what I came for.
Cons: The aisles are a bit oddly-​organized. For some reason, there are 2 separate sections of paints/​brushes on opposite sides of the store. I get that one section is for expert level and the other carries Martha Stewart brand items, but it would be nice to have both combined so you can get a better idea of the price comparisons and selection.
In summary: Highly recommended for your next paper mache project or holiday decoration run.

Compared to other Michaels I’ve been to, this is probably the most cleanest and most organized Michaels I’ve ever been to. I love getting crafty and artsy when I have the time.
I’m trying to find the time again to get back into scrap booking. I love SCRAP BOOKING. It brings out your unique and creative side while piecing pictures together. It’s a great gift for someone or for yourself to look back to because it holds the «quality memories» shared with loved ones in a book you put together.

This is every craft lovers dream! However, in my opinion, they should stay open later. Don’t you know crafters work ALL day and night?! So maybe till 10, 10:30? That would be perfect.
This is one of my favorite Michaels store I have been to. It’s clean, the workers are friendly and helpful, and I live close by. I love that you can pull up coupons from your phone, and they also check to use any other coupons that may work. «Might as well scan and try» approach. Love it!
Will be back!

Inundated with lots of products, to learn, sample and accomplish.
Today visited this location, immediately a saleswoman stepped down off a ladder to assist my needs, thank you ma’am.
In search of a square matting, tool and yarn to begin a childhood project we were off to find.
Able to settle on a clearance item and tool, finally a tool carrying bag.
The you for the excellent personal service.
Sure hope and pray I do my Bubby justice on this latching hook project.

Expensive, sloppy, and have had multiple times that items were miss priced – which always leads to a surprise at the register and and a song and dance for doing a price check.
This last time, I picked up a foam core sheet that said $ 2.99. At the register, the first price that came back was $ 6.99! Wouldn’t match the display price, but would get down to $ 4.15. I declined, said thank you, and left on principle. Waste of a trip. So frustrating.

I have been shopping at this store for years and now raised price of frames I have been consistently bought for years. Michaels has raised the price of the frames from $ 9.99 to $ 14.99, a 5 dollar increase. They will lose a lot of money from me, I refuse to pay that much even with a coupon or discount.

I shop at Michael’s all the time. The staff is nice, friendly, and helpful. However, if you ever have a problem with a product they carry, don’t expect HQ Customer Service to be helpful. They will email you promises of making thing right, but there is no follow through. Don’t buy the spools of chains unless you can test them out first. They regularly stock a chain that you can break with your bare hands. I spent money on a roll of this garbage and can’t use it because it breaks so easily. The necklaces & bracelets I made all had to be re-​made. The 12 yards of chain are useless! Customer Service promised me a coupon for another product. They never sent it. And they still stock this horrible product and can’t give me one way I can use this stuff.
If you need a visual– check out this youtube video of a girl breaking the chain with her hands.

I cannot say enough about DIANE WALL, the EXPERT Custom Framing Manager at this location ~ SHE’S THE BEST!!! Not only is she helpful, kind and knowledgeable, but she is a true artist, and her creativity turns every project into a work of art! I have worked with Diane several times, for both personal framing projects for our home and for framing projects to be hung in public, for work. I wouldn’t go anywhere else ~ Diane at Michaels Yorba Linda is truly the BEST!!!

Place is Huge with a capital H.
Tons of craft items and décor.
Fun place to look around and get great deals.

Even though it’s smaller than Hobby Lobby I like this place more. So much easier to find things.

This review is for the CUSTOM FRAMING DEPT!
I brought a custom piece in, spent an hour picking what I wanted and was told it would take 2 weeks to complete. I spent $ 250 on my order and paid in advance.
After 17 days no one called me to tell me it was ready or any status update. I called and sat on hold for 15+ minutes and gave up.
2 days later I called back again and was told it would then be ready ‘Sept 18^th’. It wasn’t. Again. And NO ONE called me.
The following Monday (5 more days later) I went to the store to see what was going on.
To my ‘delight’ they said it was ready. BUT I HAD TO SHOW UP in person to get any ANSWERS!
They unwrapped it… And it was the WRONG FRAME! Seriously?!
I was pissed. I had been waiting for nearly a month for them to complete a job and they didn’t even use the frame I picked, or the frame that was clearly coded in the computer. Not to mention, it took them nearly twice as long as they promised.
I have them a chance to make it right. She said ‘I’ll give you a 50 + 30′ refund… That’s $ 80 right? When she went to credit my card the discount went down to $ 12. On a $ 250 order that they messed up… royally.
I feel totally insulted by this place. I spend $ 100s in here every month with my stepdaughter.
I will not be back. Ever.
Heed the warning and DO NOT use the Framing Dept.

Who is «Michael?»
This must be the best Michaels store I have ever been to. In fact, their selection of pastels and related supplies surprised me. The store is very well organized, very clean, and the staff was extremely helpful.
I’m not one to enjoy a leisurely stroll to the local arts and craft store. I really can’t stand these types of stores. However, this store is the exception. I found exactly what my little one wanted plus a few more items that she was very excited to see that I purchased.
I am a fan.

This really is a crafter’s paradise! There is a bit of everything here, from scrapbooking to art supplies, at this Michael’s location. The selection here is wonderful.
I came here the other day to look for art supplies and was completely lost. A friendly employee (a manager perhaps?) came to the rescue. He helped me pick out quality brushes, acrylic paint, and a cool easel. He was helpful and very knowledgable about all the supplies we needed.
I really like wandering around the store and looking at all the great, new items. I love seeing all the scrapbooking supplies and embellishments that this store gets in. The also have a wonderful selection of kid’s crafting supplies as well.
This Michael’s location also has wonderful home décor items. When adding some finishing touches to a room, I come here to find beautiful frames, mirrors, baskets, vases, and silk plants. I also like getting holiday decorations here too.
This store has made some small, but impressive improvements in selection and customer service over the last couple of years. With changes like these, I’ll be a huge fan of Michael’s for many years to come!

I love that the line is never long at this Michaels, it might be because i go in the mornings, but i love it. Any other time i go into another Michaels the line takes forever and they have one person up front. This Michaels A+++

Fun place to shop & get stuff you really don’t need. LOL

The other day I bought a frame that had protected cardboard corners. When I removed them, lets just say the corners weren’t very protected. The wood was badly chipped and had scratches all over! So I came back to exchange it without any issues, and on top of received a 20% refund since there happen to be a promotion that day! *yayyy, I love Michael’s!
Home decorating and holiday celebrating, you name it :) Definitely the place to go for DIY peeps like me, where they have practically everything for all your future crafty endeavors!

Omg. love this store. Large selection, great prices, pretty well organized and tons of sale bins. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Lately I’ve been on a Michael’s kick since my mom is wearing a fashionable «boot» on her left leg for the next 6 weeks so I thought why not bling it out?! Went in on a early Saturday morning after having my ritual Saturday morning breakfast with my mom @ Chick-​fil-​A in Savi Ranch. The best thing about this location is that they remodeled where the registers are so its only 1 line instead of craziness & chaos! The people that work here are a little less to be desired, nothing super special about their customer service just average. Everytime I’m looking for something I can’t find ANYONE to help me! Be prepared to wait in line for a good minute, there’s always only 1 cashier and 5 people in line. They try to call for backup but it takes toooo long! I always get an older lady who doesn’t look to happy to be there or just doesn’t like me since I always get here everytime I come there!

I have spent way too much time here. I actually had to a sabbatical for a few months, but recently, I’ve started venturing back in. They now accept mobile coupons, which is awesome.
And they offer the cake classes every month. I actually just started one, so I’ll update my review after the class is over. I took a cake decorating class when I was 9, so hopefully I’ll remember more this time around.
