This place is great. The employees were all so friendly and helpful. They have a smaller selection than some of the other bead shops I've been in but is a fun place to just pop into when in the area. The only other thing that might hinder me from returning is the pricing; its a little expensive.

my mom and i went here in may to get permanent bracelets and they have lasted really well, we both are rough on them but with the way they wrap it it's very secure and doesn't catch on anything. my sister had gotten a permanent bracelet somewhere else and hers came off already because it was welded together and not wrapped. service was amazing and everyone was so nice and the store is so cute. it was $75 for a sterling silver pearl bracelet and after all that time no tarnishing or damage to the pearls (at the time was the most expensive chain they offered but prices varied from $45-75 i believe) definitely worth it truly 10/10 experience

I came here on my birthday to treat myself and I had such a blast! I ended up making (with the help of the lovely and skilled staff) not only my own charm bracelet but also my own necklace! I had so much fun browsing all their different options of beads, wire, and materials... the ways you can be creative are endless! To top off my visit, I also met someone who was celebrating their birthday here and had the same idea- what are the odds! Highly recommend visiting this shop and treating yourself to something beautiful, you deserve! This is your sign!

I love love love this bead shop. It’s so cute an has such an amazing vibe the second you step in. All the staff are super kind and help you get what you need. The only reasons on why I have this a 4 star instead of 5 is how you shop the beads and some jewelry. You have to take a tray and but the beads in the small bags and total up the amounts yourself. I would have appreciated instruction because the first time I shopped I carried the beads in my hand and had to go back and put them in the baggies after the worker said she could ring me up unless I had the tray. The other reason is because I have bought 2 rings form here because all the jewelry they carry is adorable. I spent over $60 on the two rings and within a week they both tarnished, turned a copper color and made my finger green brown which took 2 days to come off. I even payed the extra fee to get the “gold plated ones”. I have other rings that are gold plated and didn’t tarnish. I am slightly disappointed but otherwise this is a great shop for beginner and advanced jewelry makers.

Great selection of unique and cute jewelry! But I sadly did not have the best experience. I purchased the “permanent jewelry”. This is falsely advertised because they do not do the “zapping” as many other places do but they instead wrap a wire around it. I have had it for less than a month and already fell off. Also undisclosed additional charge for an anklet as opposed to a bracelet. Understandable but would have liked to been made aware prior to purchasing.

Had family in town and wanted a fun activity. The folks here were great fun and so helpful as we learned new skills and made wonderful bracelets. I have recommended this place to many others and definitely will return.

It's nice to have a local bead shop. The problem I have experienced is high prices and poor selection from this shop. Additionally, if you have questions and need help, I have found it impossible on two separate occasions to have my phone calls returned. I not only spoke once to the customer service representative directly, but had left several messages. Maybe a comment here on Yelp will be enough incentive for the business to realize that a customer calling multiple times with questions about products or services expects a return reply to continue a successful business relationship. Love the products in the shop. Didn't love the customer service when needed further assistance.

The Bead Shop in Laguna Beach is a gem! In addition to beads and jewelry-making supplies, the shop offers a beautiful selection of jewelry (e.g. gold, silver, beaded, etc.) and other small gift items (candles!). I purchased a few items for myself and gifts, my favorite item being the permanent bracelet they created for me. I appreciate the helpful and knowledgeable staff and look forward to shopping here again.

The "children" working there were rude, ignorant and under trained. This is a bead store for beginners only. No beads to buy, but I got a cute (and over priced) shawl. I've worn the shawl twice and it's shredding like old nylon stockings. Wow. This store is not worth the stop.

This place is literally a gem! Centered at a fantastic location in Laguna Beach, proprietor Melissa continues the beautiful legacy this store represents. It's a haven for creativity, fun and is attractive to both locals and visitors alike. Make and wear home your Laguna Beach memories or buy a gift for that someone special!

Today I went in and got the forever/permanent jewelry and it is so cute. There are so many options and the girl working there was so friendly. Cute little place I love the bracelet I got and there was a lot to choose from for the chain in both silver and gold. Me and a friend walked right in and were helped and fitted for our new jewelry immediately it was a great experience.

This place is amazing! I took my sister here for her birthday and we had so much fun! We got there a little later than expected and the whole process took us a little longer than expected (because there are so many awesome beads there) and the owner stayed open later for us to finish. She was so helpful and sweet! We had such a good experience here and are taking our cousins here today to create some cute custom jewelry of their own

Stopped by today as I saw the shop while visiting from North Carolina. The shop is SO cute with a fun, happy, fresh vibe. They have a nice selection of different beads without being too overwhelming. The store owner is welcoming and helpful. They have a really beautiful assortment of pre-made but handmade necklaces and earrings which are unique and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this fun shop!!!

Overpriced for average craft store selection.I was ignored by the shop owner in favor of other customers that arrived after me. Wanted to buy a few beads but the shop owner spent 15 minutes talking to the customer in front of me in line and I ran out of time on my meter parking.
