I've had nothing but positive experiences here. I've been in several times and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Their prices are about what I'd expect in this area (wholesalers in LA are less expensive) - in other words, they are fairly priced. Surprisingly good selection for a small store. I'm surprised at some of the less positive reviews I've seen here. I know I will continue to return to this charming store.

Very disappointed in this shop. Super overpriced despite the extensive variety. They do not allow you to design in store and are not accommodating. They are not set up for making jewelry on site unless you are in a paid class.
One of my favorite things to do as a child was design a bracelet at the local bead shop, sit down, put it together and leave eating it. Brought my Brice in here on her birthday and they totally killed our birthday excitement.
I will never shop there again. Poor customer service.
What happened to the old bead trays where you could design something? What happened to giving

I LOVE this shop! And I LOVE the owners!! Yes it is a family run business and they often are having classes or helping customers with projects on the large table in the middle of the shop!! For anyone who isn't personally greeted - I wouldn't take it so personally!! They are super nice people and don't bother you while shopping which I appreciate!!! They are always happy to answer questions if you ask!!! I love the selection of beads and they are reasonably priced!!! I love this store!!! A++++++

I love this store! Great selection of beads - always changing inventory so the store seems fresh every time I go. They have an outstanding selection of Japanese seed beads ranging from size 15 to size 8's. The owner always strives to keep on top of the bead trends so hard to find beads like the Halo coated Super Duos beads, mini super duos, Czech bricks, and Czech "O" beads in many great colors are brought into the store. She brings in big name teachers too as well as local talent teaching great projects every weekend. This store sells quality merchandise and I won't shop anywhere

I was very disappointed walking into this lovely establishment. I drove all the way from Long Beach to visit this store. I do not "bead" but am fascinated and respect the work that beading entails. With that I wanted to check out the beads (maybe purchase a kit), look at any pieces that were beaded and might be for sale only to be met by "THE OWNER" who tried to help me but her delivery was as if to say "if you don't know about beading why are you in my shop"... So I left and went to Living Spaces !!!
Note to Owner: Make your customers feel welcomed !!! Good luck

This place is HILARIOUS! Unreal,'actually. I have never been more disappointed in a Craft store. I mean honestly, I'm pretty sure I have had better help in the craft department in a Walmart.
I am a small time jewelry maker, who upon walking Into this place was excited and filled with ideas! I was quickly turned off by Some table filled with 30-60 year olds beading and gossiping sitting in the store. I felt like I was walking into an 8th grade PE class.
I shopped around with my son in my arms, who was angelic as usual, and the ladies stared at me for a long uncomfortable while, before

They are incredibly rude here and do not deserve anyone's time or money. My mom and I wandered in, and 6 ladies were sitting at the table beading. Since none of them said hello or welcomed us in, we assumed none of them worked there.
We asked the only standing person if they had magnetic beads there, and she said she didn't work there. We had to say, "oh, who works here?" for the lady at the table to say "I do."
.....okay.....so we ask again for what we're looking for. Did she know where we could find some? "Uh no idea" she said...no eye contact

I have been to this store 3 times.
There is a younger woman who I believe is the daughter of the older woman. Every time I have gone into this store they are too busy in taking the class themselves or are they still are just sitting and talking among themselves. They aren't very inviting.
I had taken a schedule home to look at. So a few days later I called to get some info about a certain class. The young woman made it seem like I couldn't take the class because I didn't have enough experience in beading. In that case all they offer in their schedule is advanced/ intermediate

I love going to this store. I drive about 60 miles to get here and I always have a wonderful time! Comparing them to the store across the the street is like comparing oranges to garlic because the difference is like night and day! The store is well lit, very clean, bright and well organized. I always feel creatively energized when I'm there because the colors and vibe is always upbeat! Even though the store is not very big, they sure know how to organize their beads and maximize the space! Their selection of seed beads is out of this world and they sell them in nice big tubes and not those wimpy

Very Rude! Would not recommend this shop for decent beaders at all.
I was with my wife looking at the selection they have; but the service was no were to be found. Well they were there, but they did not care I was there nor they welcome us. Rude! But I did notice that as soon a lady that looked as she had money to spend them all 3 employees says Hello! Thinking that this could be me having a bad day. I ignore and continue with my shopping, but it happened again.
I have gone there for 2nd and 3rd time and the service is the same with me and my wife. Yes they have good stuff, but the 3 Asian
