Fired Up San Clemente - San Clemente, California

We had the best day at Fired Up! Nothing but love and fun for my 3 kiddos. Sarah is absolutely the best! She made the experience another level of fun for my kids and they have a great assortment of things to paint and create. Highly recommend Fired Up - so great for kids, too!

I came here alone to have a fun little solo date and paint a few things and I was shocked at the nasty way I was treated when I asked the owner Sarah working there for help. She replied back with a condescending tone "I thought you said you have been here before, put those paints back!!" And proceeded to talk to me as if I was a child. She did this in front of her other customers. I highly suggest you stay far far away from this place. Worst vibes I’ve come across in a long time. I literally left due to her shocking behavior. I’m so glad I didn’t spend my money there. No one deserves to be treated with such disrespect. Please reconsider coming here. Also she removed my review? So I’m reposting it. Don’t know how it’s possible that she removed the review before.

i had no idea anyone could be so rude and condescending
the owner was awful. she doesn’t seem not a very happy person

i gave it two stars, because in the event the owner is put out of her misery and moves on, the business has potential

Also; if you want to get a sense of her character read her replies to her negative rated reviews.

I hate to write this because I had such a wonderful experience at their previous location but I recently went to check out this new location for a future girls day. Unfortunately before I could even consider coming here I witnessed the new owner? manager? (An older woman) be incredibly rude to her employee and other customers. She even yelled at a new mom who was quietly sitting in the shade with her baby - even when she said she would leave she kept harassing her. Needless to say I will not be giving this place my business or recommending to others which is a shame because I am a local. This is a friendly neighborhood type feel community and she sadly does not fit in.

This place used to be so cute. I've gone here for years with my kids...even hosted a girl's painting party here once. However, the last few times we've been, it's been a let-down. Albeit pricing is up everywhere, but this is now too overpriced. (Ex: A very small ceramic piece can run you $40.) That, coupled with poor customer service, which is the most disappointing part, makes for a place I will unfortunatley not be returning. It has become too casual, even for a mom-and-pop place. The employees are unprofessional, sharing too much with the customers while we're painting, using profanity and loose-talk in front of kids. Sometimes they look like they just woke up from a nap, or other times it feels like we're in their home, bothering them. I can chalk some of it up to a casual, beach-culture vibe, but the last straw for me was tonight when I called to inquire about hosting a birthday party there, at my 7 year old's request. At first the girl working hung up on me. When I called back, she blamed it on a bad phone connection (which I apologized for, even though she hung up on me). Then she rushed me into trying to reserve something right away. When I said I was just gathering availability and information for now, she rudely said she "didn't have time to chat unless I was ready to book". I didn't have a chance to ask about specific questions (answers which aren't listed on the website). She was completely condescending and cavalier. It's unfortunate because I do like supporting small businesses, but the overpriced product and unprofessional customer service I've experienced in recent years makes for a really disappointing turn of events.

Enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. Eclectic, home vibe. We came with a friend and my daughter painted one of the premade ceramics. Spent about 2 hours, plenty of time to paint and enjoy the process. Pricing includes the glaze + firing, which made it easy. Instructions were given and then kids are encouraged to get their own paint and supplies, perfect for independent types. Oh and there are adorable chihuahuas just cruising around ♥️

The owner at this place is very rude to her customers. Shocking experience. Do not spend your money here!
