About this business
Beadniks isn't a typical arts and crafts store. This thoughtful shop- adorned with woodcarvings of Buddha, beads from African Hill Tribes, and Balinese gold- is good for hours of fascination. For just three dollars (and the cost of materials), customers can sit down and work with the knowledgeable staff to create custom jewelry. New to the art of beading? Try their beginner's class. For $60, you will be taught the basics, make and take home earrings, a necklace, bracelet, and jewelry making tools. It is an experience you wil... read more

Funky, Eclectic & Fun! – My girlfriend and I stumbled on this awesome, retro, fun bead store and fell in love! We came back over the weekend and sat for hours creating beautiful jewelry with some very fun people in the back of the store. The staff are fabulously artistic, creative, knowledgeable, fun people. We come from the Northwest suburbs... Beadniks has jillions of beads and every jewelry making tool and supplies you can imagine, but it's the people and the atmosphere we love! Great neighborhood too.
Oh such a sad place – Apart from the personnel being horribly rude, the store is ridiculously overpriced. Besides, the selection is so poor that it took me over an hour to find something to spend my $50 gift certificate on. I ended up buying regular supplies (like strings and findings). Go somewhere else.
Really Pretty Pieces – I really love Beadniks in general, i have previously been to the one in Sarasota, Florida, but the Chicago location wasn't the best. I work at a Bead Store, and have been beading for years, but since I'm only 18, the staff disregarded me as 'just another teenager,' and didn't give me the time of day. I walked in and no one said anything, not even hello! An older woman walked in after me, and they were all over her asking if she needed help and asking how she was. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I d... read more
best bead shop ever, even if you don't like beads! – I love this shop. Not only is this a great place to hang out with your friends, but you come away with an amazing piece of jewelry to boot. In the past when I've visited other bead shops, I would get overwhelmed with all of the choices and sometimes end up with a weird looking piece. Not here. The folks who work at Beadniks are sooo talented and they are ready to help with advice and fabrication (or to leave you alone, whatever you want). The selection is also much more mo... read more
A "bead" in the rough! – Come on guys you know that you are looking for something a little extra to add to that weekend uniform...or something unique to suprise the little lady with. Well on a recent stroll down Division St. in Wicker Park I came across a store which I had seen before but never took the time to actually check out. Well shame on me...this place is great. I figured the place to be a store with jewelry for women but was pleased to see plenty of unique bracelets and necklaces for me. I have to admit at first I w... read more
Great place to shop and get the creative juices flowing – As the holidays draw near, I have begun to think of the gifts I have to purchase for the countless friends and family this year. This year I want to be creative and unique with my gifts, and I found the best place for both...Beadniks on Division. On a snowy Tuesday, my roomate and I strolled around the corner to the inviting oasis for the creative and imaginative. Only being open for about four months, Beadniks is one of the newest members to unique and diverse eray o... read more
Fun Place, Great Service – I went into this store not really knowing what it would be like and I was helped immediately. They were willing to explain how they typically work things there. You can do it all yourself, which I was not quite ready for, or they will almost do it all for you. I picked out a piece that I liked and one of the girls there put it all together for me. I love my necklace and got so many compliments on it. I enjoyed this place so much that I brought a friend a gift certificate and can't wait to go back w... read more
My wife and I TOTAL disagree with the review by ?dpelley?. The nicest, friendliest most helpful people we?ve ever shopped with for beads. Their selection is large, the atmosphere is great. There are open spaces to make it easily accessible. Tables to put your selections on to look then over. My wife is a beadiest and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I bought several incense sticks and the sales lady helped me by suggesting putting them into different bags so the scents would not mix. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT EVEN IF ... read more
Rude and insulting staff give this place some seriously negative energy – Although the space has been nicely decorated and the stock seems pretty standard for a bead store, this place is a loser because of the incredibly rude and unhelpful staff. Since half the fun of beading is hanging around and selecting the beads, no one needs to deal with surly and insulting staff. Spend your money elsewhere!
