The Candle Lab

This place was AMAZING. I love fragrances & wanted to try my hand at making something myself. Located in the Short North, it was close to food, shopping, and all sorts of amenities. Parking was cheap-- 3 hours for $5. I made a reservation online & went in-- the place doesn't smell overpowering, which is a huge win for me. I was worried everything would start smelling muddled. I knew exactly what I wanted, so i moved through the note options pretty quickly.nI couldn't decide on just one blend, so I bought 4 fragrance sprays.nThe experience was a blast, my fragrances smell AMAZING, and it was a wonderful little stop on a day trip. Definitely can't wait to go back!!

My girlfriend and I came in for our third year anniversary to pour our own candles. we we’re greeted very nicely by a certain woman, given instructions then left to our own devices. we both walked around smelling candles, assuming they had been sanitized. when we were done we sat at the bar and our stylist right off the bat was very rushed. she barely gave us instructions, and most of the time was away from the bar. a large group of girls came in, and started walking around the smell candles. the workers had not taken the time to at least sanitize the candles in between groups. the worker helping my girlfriend and i was rude about my scent choices, and was very rushed. she didn’t try to work with me or give me helpful advice. the website said the candle making process would take about 30 minutes but ours took about 5. we started to mix the scent oils and i got some of my hand, a sink was not offered. later on in the day my hands started to get itchy and swollen. after inspecting our candles, the stickers didn’t stick and the fabric they put in the bag had put hairs all over the soft wax. my candle in particular has started to separate from the candle jar.noverall, it was not work the $47 i paid for a plain candle and our stylist ruined our experience.

Wow what a great experience curating selecting and mixing your own candies! We select a variety of scents and smells then pick the jar and wick and the staff helps combine the scents. We poured our own scent oils then mixed it with the melted wax. There's an abundant selection of scents. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Definitely visit for this experience.

Always a pleasant experience. They have a wonderful selection of scents to choose from. I have been here three or four times now and always come out with a new, unique candle scent.

My wife and I are candle addicts, so naturally we had so much fun. The staff was super patient, mainly because we smelled every single candle, as well as genuine in wanting to help build the right candle. Just for you casual candle buyers this is gonna be about $50-$80 for 2 candle.
