Color Me Mine

Sometimes people have a bad day. When I do I come here to relax and unwind. I have never had a bad experience here. They are always friendly and helpful. They are attentive, somewhat like a waitress checking on tables. I cannot imagine who would have been working when people have had unpleasant experiences. Please do not judge by others negative reviews. I have, however had similar experiences at the store in Naperville. Maybe the rude employees work there. I will continue to come to this location to work on my piece in progress, since it does take time do do a nice job. I spent about 8 hours on my last piece. Another plus is that I can choose larger pieces knowing that there is no rush to finish. You take your piece with you and come back another day to work on it some more, no additional fees! Awesome place to spend a couple of hours with my nieces. I recommend trying it for yourself.

Extremely fun environment! Fantastic selection! This place is perfect for gift ideas and custom pieces! My girlfriend and I came in and painted matching mugs. They had a fantastic idea to replicate the design perfectly! The staff was extremely nice and very helpful! Absolutely loved this store and will be coming back more often!

Super fun environment for children! All the people who worked there were super friendly and helped think of fun gift ideas. Totally coming back with some friends!

We came with a group of 11 ppl and not one of us was greeted when we came into the shop. The associates did not explain the process and left us to our own demise. It wasn’t until we were leaving that we saw all the tools available to use on our projects. Overall we were left confused, unassisted, and paid a lot of money for sub part experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.

Such a fun and relaxing way to spend a Mommy/​Daughter day. There’s so much to choose from at about $ 10-​$ 55. The staff was helpful but by no means overbearing which was great. The only reason I couldn’t give this five stars is because you can’t take your creation home with you. They reserve five days to fire it. Inconvenient for those of us who drove a ways. Overall, Color Me Mine was enjoyable.
WARNING: I was told the colors you select from the numbered paint tile do NOT look the same until your pottery is fired so don’t be alarmed when you start painting.

Visiting from out of town with a family member. Staff was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. This is the first time I have tried this type thing and I was really surprised. Picked up gift I made a few days later. Will do again.

I would not recomment this place to anyone who wants to make their kids happy! Rude and ignorant people that work in this place. I came to their store to see how everything works so my kids can make Christmas gifts for grandmothers and the girl told me the prices. After she gave me prices she left the room and let me wonder arround the store. Two days latter I showed up with my kids. We made gifts, I payed $ 110 and when we checked out they told me stuff we painted will be done 3 days after Christmas. I asked them why they did not tell me that when I came to see the place first time or even upon check in. The place was empty every time I got there so I could not know how many people made something before me. The guy told me: «Well we have other people too». When I called 3 days latter I spoke with two other girls on the phone and they had the same answer. I tried talking to the manager but was not able to reach him/​her. I told them to keep the pieces. What a shame! Such a great idea but owned by the people who do not know how to run the business. Not a happy place at all!

Walked in the door Friday night over an hour before close and got turned away. Not only did we get turned away, but the teenager who said we couldn’t paint was rude and nasty with us. Needless to say not only did I point out to her that it is not listed on the website you needed to be there by, but I also let her know how rude she was. No response came from her, but I made sure to return my groupon and I will go somehere else. Very dissapointing, but did not let this girl ruin date night… Two grown adults shouldn’t take more than an hour to paint. They need to hire some people wothe customer service skills.

Extremely rude service, stopped in just before closing — the doors were still open. Associate working scolded us, saying that they were closed and that she was counting her money, that we shouldn’t be in here. Then guess what honey lock the door duh! Needless to say we will not be back unless they get competent people that work there.

I NEVER would have set foot into this place had it not been for my friend who is a major Smurf collector having to get the new Smurfette figurine they had. There were tons of ceramic pieces to choose from. You pick from the giant wall full of hundreds of different pieces. They have figurines, bowls, mugs, plates, mirrors, brushes, and anything and everything in between.
My wife chose a mug. I wasn’t feeling particularly artsy, so I just watched. It took the two of them about two hours to paint their pieces. The friendly girl brings dollops of paint in whatever color you choose, as well as brushes and water.
She was very pleasant and helpful. The fee to use the «studio» as they called it was $ 10 and the ceramics range from $ 10-​$ 25 and up.
I think it’s a great activity for kids, and can’t really say anything bad about it. Not my cup of tea, but great for those who love this sort of thing.

I am extremely unsatisfied with my experience at Color Me Mine. I painted a mug at the store over a month ago and yet to recieve it. I have been to the location twice asking for them to look and see if it has shown up. The staff put little-​to-​no effort in trying to find my missing piece. They also denied refunding me my money, insisting it will «show up» soon. I will never come back to this store again and will never give a good word-​of-​mouth review.

if i could give this place negative stars, i would. never have i ever been disgusted from beginning to end with service. this place is not going to last. i am floored by my experience.
i brought my two kids here to paint. we were the only ones there. yet, could she be bothered with helping us, like, maybe give us some «tips and tricks» or not have to make us come to her for paint colors? no, sorry, she was busy at another table working on her own pieces. really? i had to go change my own water for the paints, get appropriate sized brushes, clean my own sponge, because i felt like i was disturbing her from doing her own painting.
then a few more parties showed up with kids. one of the kids, surprisingly, dropped her piece. omg! really? does this never ever happen? you would think not, based on this female employee’s expression. make the kid feel worse, why don’t you?
then, to top it off, i come to pick up my pieces a couple of weeks later, and the glaze on the bowl was not all encompassing. yes, that’s right. a basic cereal bowl, with sections of missing glaze. sigh.
this business will not last.
