Unfriendly and not helpful. They made me feel unwelcome in their store.

Overpriced and very unfriendly. Common merchandise. – This store when it opened was a pleasant experience. Now, since the owner took over the other bead shop in Overland Park, the staff is unfriendly and the merchandise commonplace and overpriced. I refuse to give my business to someone who is plainly taking advantage of the fact the her shops are two of three in the middle of Johnson County. Since I sell jewelry, I have taken my business to other shops in the Kansas City area and to sellers that I trust online. Shame on the... read more

Not Helpful! – I did not enjoy The Bead Shop. I am not a jewelry maker myself. And apparently Beginners are not welcome! I went there today to make a simple beaded necklace. I picked out my beads and asked the lady there if I could have it strung there (I have tried to do this myself before just to have them fall apart so I went 30 min out of my way to go to a specialty "Bead Shop" to have it done for me) She looked at me like I was speaking a different language and gave me a series of excuses that all made me feel like she ... read more

Unhappy – I have a specific bracelet I'm trying to re-create for a friend. I'd heard about this store from a friend and decided to check it out and see if it had exactly what I was looking for. My first impression when I walked in was that the selection wasn't much bigger than what I'd seen at the chain hobby stores. I also couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I picked up a few things hoping something would work once I found the rest of my necessary pieces and I'd return what didn't. Two days later I go back to the ... read more

Disappointing – I recently started creating jewelry from exotic woods and needed some gold bails for pendants.. Well, I stopped by this shop and they had a little package of 4.. about a dollar a piece... OK... I bought them... after getting home I find they are too small for my needs. So I thought....OK...Maybe they have something else that will do..... After I get there I find out they do NOT refund OR exchange!!! Now I could understand if I was buying underwear......but I'm not! They do have a sign I missed... AT THE VERY ... read more

Gem in Kansas City – I just recently started beading. Took a class at The Bead Shop and I was hooked. Have gone to every bead shop in the metro area and this is by far my fave! The service is really good. They help you find just the right beads and they have it all. The gemstones are absolutely gorgeous and they have lots of beautiful glass beads. The selection of sterling, which I love, is better than any other store. And the prices on their silver is below anyone else's that I have found. I will be shopping in this store a... read more

This is a very cool bead shop. The sales people are really nice and they help you pick beads and give great ideas. They are all knowledgeable about their beads and tools. They have great chain. I love their gemstones too. The quality is fantastic. This is one of the better shops I've seen and I have seen many shops across the country. Highly recommend!

Oh my god! I have died and gone to heaven. This is one of the best bead shops I' have been to in years. I do quite a bit of traveling and always visit every bead shop wherever I go. I spent over $1000 here and could have spent a lot more. It is a lovely store with a great selection of beads. But the best thing was the prices. Most bead shops I visit are at least double their prices. So I spent $1000 but would have spent over $2000 or more somewhere else for the same beads. I highly recommend it. Nice people too.
