Fantastic shop. I forget the lady name who helped me, but she was awesome. So helpful, excited to help and just so pleasant. She was there yesterday. Definitely worth shopping here. read more

Great customer service and very friendly environment. I'm from out of town but came here and found so many things I wanted - it was hard to choose! I called a few weeks later and they were gracious enough to text me pictures of certain things I was looking for and set it aside for my friend to pick up. Truly appreciated them going out of their way! So many great beads and all the supplies you need for jewelry making. Definitely recommend shopping here over a Michael's! read more

Time to make gifts for all the lovelies in your life. I happened on Bead Breakout for some beads I needed for a knitting project. Couldn't help but check out the display that was there & they told me I could come tonight for something that caught my eye. Of course, I could NOT pass up making a beautiful necklace. It was a nice night out with the ladies & now have a pretty pearl adornment. You can check the classes out on their face book page. There is a large variety of beads & other such baubles w/ an array of chains, cording & such. I recommend for some time out & not so expensive gift making. Price depends on what you buy, of course. read more

Bead Breakout is an amazing shop! The staff is consistently helpful, willing to take time with you, know their stock and interested in what you might be doing. They carry a huge selection of beads, findings and tools. I understand that the owner of the shop goes on an annual pilgrimage to the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show...it certainly shows in the constant introduction of new and interesting stock over the 10+ years I've been shopping here. Even if you haven't started beading YET:)...it's worth a visit...so many beautiful beads under one roof and it's in our city! read more

If you need beads or other small jewelry items, it's very tempting to go to the bix box stores. The problem is that there is very little help, and if you get to talk to someone, they probably know very little about what you're talking about. In this store, you get help and the sales person spends time with you, and makes sure you get what you need. Bring notes or images of what you want, and they'll either get it or point you in the right direction. I am not into this type of craft much, so for me, when I am trying new things, this is invaluable read more

I took my daughter (age 10) and her friend here yesterday. It was my first time in the shop. Where to begin with the praise...We were warmly greeted by two friendly women, Deb and Barb. My daughter and her friend began exploring the many containers of beads. They took genuine delight in watching the girls rummage and I never got the impression (that you often get in stores when you let your kids explore on their own) that the owners were anything but delighted to watch the girls creating. Barb pulled out a large wood bin of "scrap" beads and encouraged the girls to rummage through these beads because they would be so inexpensive. (The beads in this bin were great, everything from seed beads to hematite hearts.) It was very thoughtful of her to pull out the clearance bin for the girls. I have never done beading before, so I decided to sit back and watch, which is very comfortable to do at the large table in the lower room, a table, I might add that is sitting in front of a real fireplace...perfect ambiance! My daughter came to the table and showed me what she had. I became intrigued by some beads she had chosen and wondered if I could make something from these wonderful beads. Deb came over to check if the girls needed anything, and I asked where I would begin if I wanted to make some earrings from the beads my daughter found. Deb immediately got her tools, grabbed a few head pins laying around, and helped me add other beads (all from this discount bin) and showed me how to make a pair of earrings. In about 20 minutes, I had a pair of hand designed earrings that looked nicer than anything I've seen in your average earring shop and even nicer than what you often find at One World Goods (which has gorgeous earrings!). I was so excited and immediately felt them to be the perfect gift to give for a friend's birthday. And the cost for these custom made earrings? About $4.30!!! But they look like $25 earrings easily! Also, when we were checking out, my daughter's friend had chosen a $2 lobster claw clasp, but Barb put that one back in a bin, chose a less expensive one for her that was even better quality. The girls had each filled a small plastic bag with beads from the clearance bin; she charged them maybe .25 for the whole bag. I entered this store as a dutiful mother letting her daughter get some beads. I left the store totally hooked on making my own custom jewelry, and feeling confident that I can do it! Five stars is not enough to rate this store. With their appealing merchandising in an absolutely comfortable atmosphere, combined with their warmth and expertise, the owners of Bead Breakout deserve all the success in the world! Congrats ladies on a stunning example of the best that small businesses have to offer!! Postscript: We returned the next day for a special "trunk" sale. The place was packed, and Deb and Barb were there and treated us just as nicely as they did when we were the only ones in the store. And the owner, Andrea, came up to me, introduced herself, and was equally as approachable and helpful. Even when the store was packed, I felt just as welcome and found everyone to be just as helpful. read more

We had a "girls' night out" event for our church youth group Moms and daughters recently. Everyone at the store during the planning process was so helpful and accommodating. And during the event Colleen was so great and patient as she showed us what to do and gave us the time we needed to finish up some fabulous bracelets. No doubt it was a later-than-usual night for her, but the Moms and daughters are still talking about the night and showing off some great new jewelry. I'll be back to find more projects. read more

Go here all the time I love it!!! The staff are really nice, helpful love the beads!!
