These candles are the best quality and the service is always a pleasure !!!! Thank you for keeping the Debbie Gibson Lost in Your Eyes candle in stock! This candle lasts forever and brings so much warmth to my home.

I was given my wax melter as gift along with black coral and moss wax. A scent I would never think of grabbing 4 myself. Yet it is amazing. It's a very earthy type scent. I have very sensitive sinuses and these waxes aren't overpowering at all. Everyone who comes in my home comments on the smell and I'm sure it's not my stinkin dogs that everyone is finding so
pleasant. I cannot say enough good things about this product. Eco friendly and sustainable matter 2 me. I would recommend this 2 anyone

I love these candles and wax melts so much that I now exclusively buy all my candles and melts from them. The candles always burn beautifully and evenly and the scents are heavenly. They last a long time too. The touch max melters are one of my favorite things that I have ever bought! I wish I could give this place a 6th star just for the wonderful customer service they have. I always feel very welcomed and happy in the shop, and everyone is really helpful and kind. I feel lucky that I live close enough to go regularly!

We just happened to be in Manassas for a few hours and stopped in Shining Sol while exploring the historic area. With my acute sense of smell it's nice to finally walk into a scent shop that doesn't immediately cause me headaches. I'm told this is because they use soy wax in their candles. The vibe in the store is pleasant, and the staff very knowledgeable on their various scents.

Since sniffs are free, we made sure to smell every scented candle currently offered in the store. My favorite on this visit was Bomb Pop, which pays homage to the rocket pops of our youth, both in scent and its tricolor wax. It was tough to decide between Bomb Pop, the bonfire scented candles, the forest scented candles, the various fruit scented candles, and the unique scents of the branded KISS candles. So, we picked up Bomb Pop, Dragon's Lair (a grapefruit scented candle), and a candle for a friend.

This was our first time making candles so I called the shop at least three times and the gentleman (sorry I forgot his name) was so very helpful and polite. They don’t supply wine but we were allow to bring a bottle and have a glass or two while making our candles.
There’s no back candle lab/ workshop you make the candles at the small counter but it’s was fine. The shop is small and cute!

I love candles and Shining Sol's are exceptional with many choices to entice. Taryn assisted me during the visit and answered my questions expertly. The Lemon Ginger Spice I purchased has been a very welcome addition to our home. Besides loving the scent it burns neatly and is long-lasting. I'll look forward to returning to Shining Sol when I need to replenish my candles.

i thought due to my asthma candles weren't gonna be a part of my life anymore- however these don't bother my lungs and they smell AMAZING!!! from IG it seems the company truly cares about their product, their communities, and their employees. 10/10 for candles, ethics, candle scents, and the owner's gorgeous hair.

again- just to sum up- one of the only candle companies i can use due to severe lung issues!

On a whim, dipped in here with my daughter. Locally manufactured candles with cool themes such as skull and bones on top for Halloween. I’m all about the earthy scents, but there is a lot to choose from. They also offer candle making classes that sounds interesting. The lady working here was knowledgeable, friendly, and provided recommendations. We left with a couple candles - can’t wait to light them up!
