Two Laguna Beach reviews, word for word.
One from an artist who had work printed and framed on a tight deadline for a gallery show, then came back for the next one; one from a customer who found the team thoughtful, taking the time to create something special.
The service here is excellent. They are so thoughtful and take the time to create something special.
YelpThis place is a godsend. I used to get my artwork printed and framed at a place in LA, but I wasn't too satisfied with the quality. I had a gallery show coming up in February, but I got very sick for a few weeks and didn't have time to print it at the usual place--I was also in Orange County at the time. I was scrambling to find a place, and then I ran across this business online. I called them and explained that I needed a work printed and framed within a few days. Even though it was a rush order with a really tight turnaround, they were really helpful and accommodating. When I went to pick it up, I was really surprised with the quality, considering in the past I was not too happy with other artworks. It received a lot of compliments. I had another gallery show again this month. The gallery kept changing times and dates, but the service here was patient with me and supportive throughout the process (shoutout to Aylin). Again, the framing and quality of print received a lot of compliments. Very pleased with this place, I highly recommend if you do a lot of digital art and/or participate in exhibitions often.
Which Laguna Beach names has Best Framing worked with?

For an artist the print lab matters as much as the framing: Irene A. had a work printed and framed within a few days for a gallery show, and came back for the next one while the gallery kept changing its dates.
