PAINT:LAB — Attraction in Santa Monica

Upon walking in, the younger lady working was very sweet! I called and asked to bring a friend who was not painting out of courtesy to see if it was okay, I was told yes. Then we get there and said IN FRONT OF my friend the owner/manager said "usually we don't allow this, we thought you were painting" (terribly rude.). You have to pay for your canvas once your there, after paying for the class.

Do not book here unless you actually have some painting experience because they expect that. They didn't lead a session in any way, essentially they print out the picture of what you want and your on your way. I could do that at home... I had to continuously ask for guidance and next steps. It was essentially an open paint session. They don't know how to manage that amount of people. They taught me absolutely nothing and my piece came out terrible.

Terrible vibes all around, they aren't nice. I left feeling upset, which is not something that should happen when paying for an art class. Would not go here. Waste of...

Really old studio, bad service. Definitely seemed to be more about the money than anything else which created a really bad overall vibe. The way they deal with students is an absurd beyond absurd. They are consistently rude, short tempered, and ungiving of their time. Natasha, the receptionist is unprofessional and lazy. This is not the way to treat people if you want to create a positive experience. These are, at the end of the day, customers who have paid only to be treated poorly. Very disappointing experience that left me with a really bad taste. I do feel that it's important to share my experience. Very unprofessional behavior and bad service. I just wanted to give a heads up to future students. All in all , there are much much better options for you other than...

My daughter Rylie absolutely loves her Art Classes. Alli is absolutely awesome and her staff are all super talented and great with kids. She has been going for over a year now and we can see the development of her art skills from the beginning until now and it's definitely incredible to see. Thank you Paint Lab. Rylie loves you all!

We ad another great Sunmer with Alli and her awesome staff.

RYLIE loves all of the themed days and has actually taught me about Basquiat on a Featured Artist Day that I doubt any other art camp is doing with the little ones.

It's been over a year now and I will keep her going as long as I can!

Thanks again everyone. We look forward to seeing you in the after...
