Bead Haven

On 8-​4-​2015 at 1:56pm, we were rung up by Angie (manager of store) she did not greet us on either transaction nor did she thank us for shopping, in actuality she spoke very little to either of us during our visit except to tell me that she was the manager when I asked for one and then when I asked about the owner I was told that the owner is her Aunt. The first transaction was receipt number 321 532 which was under your amount for purchase with a card. as the customer is from Missouri she did not know this and was rudely told to read the sign. I gave her the cash to proceed with her purchase.
the second transaction was 321 533 when I said something to her about saying hello to me she rolled her eyes in disgust and proceeded to ignore me. that is when I asked to speak with a manager and was told that she was the manager. I then said I guess you’re also the owner to which she informed me that no that’s my Aunt. I asked if she was in, to which I was told no, so I took a card, paid and went out side to call. I was informed that the owner was on vacation so I thought to try this way to advise you that your employee that waited on us was rude and if this is your management staff I will never be back to your location. As someone who has worked in retail management for the last 18 years, there is a level to which mangers must be held as they lead by example. Your staff who helped us while shopping were wonderful but my question to you would be for how long? Attitudes roll down hill and if this is how she treats customers then how does she treat the rest of your staff?

We stopped in here with my daughter and some friends so they could make a necklace. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the lady working the counter looked annoyed at our presence. Which I had already heard earlier when my mother brought another child that day. I thought for sure I could change this woman’s attitude by my well behaved kids and my nice personality. I was slightly wrong. The man working the store full of tattoos was awesome. He was also extremely helpful.
There is a large variety of beads that you can buy their the most expensive one being an antique bead worth $ 400. But since I was paying for three girls I was not going to let them just have a free-​for-​all. I knew from past experience that you could make it so you could spend five dollars and have a nice necklace or bracelet to go home with. But they were not willing to offer that information to me without me asking. So I will explain it to you so you know before you go in.
There is a side room to the left when you walk in to the place you go down some steps and there’s an area with a couple of tables that you can work on. There is a small basket I’m one of the tables sometimes two or three baskets that are full of a variety of very beautiful beads. You can fill a small container full of beads for only $ 2.95. Then behind there is some wire with clasp hook up and everything. They come in several different colors and they’re only two dollars.
I had to ask for a place to set the beads to make the necklace. They have these wonderful trays but they are not out you have to ask to get them out to use them. You can place the beads on the trays in the correct order that you want your necklace or your bracelet to be. Then you simply string them on. When that is done go tell them and they will finish it off and there you have your bracelet or necklace for five dollars.
Enjoy

The selection of beads here is HUGE. Makes me wish that I had any inkling of how to make jewelry. I guess if I tried, I might actually learn, huh? Yeah…
Don’t leave without perusing the small incense collection. «Fairy farts» smells a lot nicer than you’d expect it to…

This place has a large assortment of beads in this little bavarian town. While I am not necessarily a huge fan of bead shops in general, my wife loves them and I usually help her pick out stuff for her creations. She really enjoyed her time here, but it was a bit on the pricey side, but I think part of that was her fault in the chain she bought, toggle, and silver charm. We would probably come back if we were in the area. Fortunately for me, we live in Tampa :)

Great service and selection!
I am not jewelry artist, so I appreciated all of the help. There was so much room that I didn’t feel as squashed as in other bead shops.
Their «fits pandora» section leaves something to be desired. Some of the beads didn’t actually fit and they all looked cheap next to my pandora beads, as I expected.
I definitely suggest this place!

Beatiful bead store — largest that I’ve personally seen. Beautifully decorated with great displays and lots of room, it makes you want to wander around and touch all the beautiful beads they have.
There was so much selection it was almost overwhelming — how do you decide?
They had a wonderful big round table that must seat at least 12 people (maybe 14?) comfortably where they seem to teach classes and people hang out and bead together. (Make sure you look at the display case in there where someone — who? — show cases their work — gorgeous.)
Prices were average from what I’ve seen — though I’m not an active beader, so I’m not neccessarily up on current pricing.
Loved it.
Would I recommend? Yes.
Would I return. Yes!
