One of my favorite things is coming here with my mom to make bracelets together. The staff is always so kind, patient, and helpful, whether we're looking for specific beads or need a little inspiration for a new project. They have an amazing selection, and the store is always organized and welcoming. Creating bracelets here has become such a special bonding activity for us, and the experience is always enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone who loves crafting, jewelry making, or spending quality time with loved ones! read more

Bead Lounge - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Woodland Hills, California

I went in yesterday for the first time and was so pleasantly surprised with how nice all of the employees were. Painter, Taylor and Bari were approachable and eager to help as well as being really patient in answering all of my questions and they are all so knowledgeable. The bead selection is so vast and beautiful that I went back in today to buy more. I also got a really fast necklace repair. I'm definitely going back. Great vibes all around. Thank you! read more

my mom and i had the best time here, i couldn't recommend it more. their quality wide selection, incredibly nice employees (especially the owner, Bari ) and quick turnaround with getting a pendant removed from my mom's necklace, made for an excellent shopping experience. i felt happy just being there, and every fellow customer i interacted with was happy to be there as well. we truly can't wait to go back, thank you Bari and Taylor!! read more

NOPE. JUST NOPE. Go elsewhere...hard pass! Poor quality and value. Why would a bead shop or anyone have THIS kind of attitude, arrogance, NOT FRIENDLY, in this economy?!? Beads ladies. Trinkets. "Gold" scraps does not qualify as "Jeweler" arrogance on Rodeo. NOPE. JUST NOPE. Go elsewhere...hard pass! Value? Hand written receipts from a calculator? Shady books? Family business? Soooo much turn over. RUDE. Just no. read more

Love the Bead Lounge, I have been here twice in two days. Everyone who works here is so nice and helpful, even let us make something fast before closing. There is so much to choose from so you can make it custom to how you like. Coming back to get a necklace soon. read more

Such a fun place to come and be creative. The value on all of the products are amazing, I have been here multiple times and will most definitely continue to stop by. The Bead Lounge is a must visit bring your friends and family sit down and just have a great time! read more

Stopped into Bead Lounge to find a chain or rope necklace to hold a trinket my son made for me. My wife has talked about this store for a good while, but this was my first time in, and it's a terrific little shop with a pretty huge selection of beads, chains, necklaces and other trinkets. Everything was very reasonably priced, and the service was fantastic. Diane helped me find what I needed pretty quickly, offering a number of suggestions, and Sky zapped everything together in a New York minute. I walked out with my son's gift securely fastened around my neck, and I'll be going back anytime I need something similar for myself or a gift. What a great place to shop. read more

I recently stopped in to purchase supplies to make some holiday gifts. I've been in the store over the years for small things so I knew what an amazing selection to expect and this time did not disappoint! I was promptly and pleasantly greeted by a very sweet and friendly young lady who was very eager to help guide me on what I was looking for. My vision for my gifts wasn't set in stone yet and she along with Bari took so much time and consideration helping make my choices and make my vision come to life. Bari was so attentive and present and really made me feel comfortable. The whole experience was lovely. This may have just sparked a new hobby! I will definitely be back. read more

Came in looking for a specific shaped stone to fit into a jewelry band that had fallen off. The woman that assisted my mom and I was friendly and super helpful. She knows her inventory! We ended up finding and buying three different stones for about $5. The place is neatly organized and clean. All prices are labeled clearly. Great experience! read more

Friendly and honest staff... Helped me with a repair, and create 2 necklaces for my daughter. Cute and unique gift items as well. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Love Bead Lounge! Really beautiful and unique pieces and a very nice easygoing experience.

I've been coming to the bead lounge for a few years now, and I just have to say, these women have made me feel like family. I have taken several classes, from learning how to make a basic bracelet, to now wire wrapping, and I'm the kind of person who needs to watch, and ask questions, and needs the person teaching me to go slow, and explain things. Each one of these women has made me feel so comfortable. Now aside from that, sometimes I come in just to get inspiration. Sometimes I get stuck on what to make next, and I'll walk in and no joke, I am approached with a hug either from the owner Bari, Taylor, Naya or Sky, and asked how I'm doing and what they can help with. They have an incredible selection of beads, charms, chains, clasps. I've looked at several other bead stores in the area when I was first getting my feet wet in making jewelry, and it's obvious that Bari cares about what she wants in her store. The quality of her selection is truly unmatched. You can just see and feel the difference. I'm a forever fan of the bead lounge, and I know when I go in, I will always be welcomed and helped in any way they can provide. read more

Bead Lounge - These are just SOME of the many pieces I have made from the supplies, stones and chains from the bead lounge - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Woodland Hills, California

Here we are, 8 years after my first review: I continue to come in here for repairs, advice, and I've brought friends to make our own jewelry. I adore this shop because it gives out a small town vibe. I don't come in often enough for them to know me, yet they're always so warm and friendly. Excellent and patient customer service (which is a dying art these days) and attentive help. Over the years, they have gradually included more varieties of jewelry, which I appreciate. They always provide a warm greeting and follow up with great assistance. Ayanna usually is the one to help me. She's knowledgeable, and I like/need the advice, but if I wanted to browse on my own... I know that she would be willing to let me do my own thing. And not hover, my pet peeve. The perfect balance of warm ambiance, creativity and congenial staff make THE BEAD LOUNGE a five star winner in my book. read more

I'm all in favor of supporting our local bead shops, ever since the San Gabriel Beading Company went out of business I couldn't help but to realize many more smaller shops I used to go to where gone there's nothing like the hands on experience of learning the art and science behind beading and the Owner here and her staff are ready to help in whatever area one is in need of whether it be beginners, intermediate or advanced one on one lessons. It's so worth it too!!! It's also such a beautiful shop with incredible eye candy everywhere!!! I wish I lived closer, I would be there all the time! read more

This is a great little store. If you are looking for beads, this is the place to go. They have a great selection of unique beads and other jewelry orientated items for the jeweler or for anybody who just wants to put together a nice necklace, bracelet, or other beaded item. They also have some other interesting things around the store which I imagine change periodically so I won't go into what they are. But, the one thing that you can be sure of is that you can find unique items. Located on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, this shop is easy to find. There's plenty of parking in front of the store so you should have no problem finding a parking spot. Probably the nicest thing about this place is the staff. They are all very nice and very knowledgeable. This is also a great place to support small business as it is a very unique store that offer is very unique items all presented in a very orderly fashion. read more

I was feeling weird about a break up and someone referred me to this bead store even though it was over an hour away from where I live. I was determined to drive there. A few of the beads I picked out didn't have a big enough hole for the size cord that I wanted, which is an extra durable size because I never want to take the bracelet off , the lady that runs the place actually used a little metal hand thing and individually made the holes bigger so they would fit on the cord. I was so grateful ... it was unbelievable. I never saw so many wide varieties of each type of stone some were Matt finished others were faceted, big and small. It was really fascinating to come here and then they put the whole thing together. I wasn't up charged for some extra little things like the drilling and the environment is so calm and easy-going. People were really really happy there and I left literally emotional and feeling happy. I absolutely give this place five stars their customer service Was out standing like you were visiting a place of friends :))) also I can't believe the price on everything. It was fabulous. read more

Unpleasant experience. This is my first time ever leaving a review ever but my experience coming here sucked so much lol. The woman who appears the be the owner is soooo weird and off putting. Do not ask for a simple price range on the chains here because their entire demeanor changes. I've never had a bad customer experience the way I did here, not welcoming or kind and just straight up bad vibes. The employee who did our permanent bracelets was sweet though at least. read more

A little pricey, but I Love this place ! It has a great selection of beads and every time I go in there they are very helpful.!!

Very impressed. I took my wife and a friend here as part of a pre-birthday day out and they loved everything about this place, especially Bari, who served as their bead guru. They are now making plans to go back for a girls day out. Thanks Bari for making a birthday idea a real treat. Lovely space, great prices, wonderful experience. read more

You can't tell from the outside, but it's a beautiful store inside. Beads, beads, and more beads. So many beads, and really nice ones. They have the ultra delicate loose beads in glass cases, but the majority of the shop consists of loose beads throughout. They also sell silk/fabric cordage in the back of the store and chain near the register. The ladies are very nice, asking if there was anything I needed assistance with. They also offer beading classes. Not too many brick and mortar bead shops anymore, especially one that offers such a large selection. Parking: Free, street - right in front of the store. read more

I again went to the bead lounge to have some items upgraded and also purchased some new items from this amazing store where there selection is so plentiful and a selection of great gifts to buy..the staff is always so friendly and helpful. Barrie the owner has the Best attitude and couldn't have been nicer(as she is everytime I have been there ). Clients walk in the store and she is so friendly and her staff always remembers customers that have been in the store..I looked over the reviews and only compliments.there might be 1 person who wasn't happy but that's ok..the majority of clients are happy clients...like myself. . Highly Recommend read more

My girlfriend and i love the bead lounge. The owner Bari and all the ladies are so wonderful. I personally love to make my own custom bracelets there and my girlfriend does too! I could hang out making bracelets all day here! The customer service is too notch. We've been 3 times in the last month. We got a lot of Christmas presents and a few things for ourselves! Love the recommendations, the abundance of beads and 80's music ;) Thank you ladies! We'll be back again! read more

They had a great selection of items that you can make your own Jewelry, or buy jewelry that's already made by someone else. Beautiful selections, very friendly, very helpful and reasonably priced. It's my favorite store for myself or for gifts for others. Love the Bead Lounge read more

I needed to get an elastic bracelet replaced on an expensive bracelet that broke. They were able to fix it just like new within an hour even with multiple customers in the store. Highly recommended!! read more

Love this place ! Amazing amazing stuff. Super kind & friendly staff! The quality is TOP notch! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to buy or make some amazing jewelry/ gifts. read more

Updated review: Still a solid 5 star! I was helped by store owner Bari and she was very professional and helpful. Location has shitty parking but lots of parking on the street and side streets. Came for my 2nd customized bracelet. I had my son with me and he had a great time with the arts and craft. Bari also helped my 4 year old make his own bracelet. Priceless piece of jewelry my son and I have now thanks to Bead Lounge! Thank you Bari! read more

Wanted to get some gold bead bracelets and a friend recommended me here. I went during COVID so make sure to call the owner and ask her what her hours of operations are, because they do vary! I had such a great experience! She was helpful when picking out the bracelets and even recommended we customize and add beads to make them perfect for my preference! Will go back here for more! Def seek them out :) read more

This is one of my absolute favorite stores and my go to for gift giving. When I was contemplating on what to Do for my 5oth I thankfully thought of having a party here. Well it was an OMG this is such an awesome night and so much fun mantra that we all said multiple times.. Everyone was raving and a month later they are still raving. We brought in wine ,drinks and appetizers and everyone had a budget that I set and took care of. Barry and her staff were so helpful and accommodating. All of my friends and I have a beautiful piece of Jewelry that remind us of that incredible night and the friendship that we have. I can't recommend this place highly enough. If you want to make a gift or choose something for you this is the place. If you want to have a great Birthday, Engagement or baby shower or just a girls night out I highly recommend booking the Bead Lounge for your shindig. read more

Had such a lovely experience at Bead Lounge about a week ago. Went in to get a birthday gift for a friend, and the girls were so helpful! Told them what I was looking for and the price point and they immediately gave me several options. I have been in several times and will 100% return! Definitely recommend! read more

I was in California earlier this month for a wedding. While visiting my cousin, I told her that I had started making some simple jewelry. She told me about the Bead Lounge, about 5 minutes from her house & I decided to stop in & take a look. The store was lovely! The people working bent over backwards to be helpful. The store was laid out beautifully, in a very organized fashion. Strings of beads, pearls & gemstones were hung along the walls, with the more valuable ones locked in easy-to-view showcases. My favorite thing...is that the majority of semi-precious gemstones were laid out on tables, organized by color & size. This made it so easy to choose accent stones for jewelry, as well as individual stones for earrings & pendants. Most shops do not have stones that can be purchased individually. And the ones that do, rarely have such a large & diverse selection. You can have a beading party here or come for a private lesson. Some other bead stores do this too. One very nice thing you can do at this store, that I've never heard of anywhere else... you can pick out the beads/gemstones you would like on your piece of jewelry. Then, if you don't want to create your own piece of jewelry, the experts in the shop will make it for you! Wow, what service! That's one thing that really puts them over the top, as far as I'm concerned!!! read more

I've had four or five things repaired here over the years, and quite literally every single piece has broken within a week or two of picking it up. This bead joint might be fine for you to get your own beads and supplies, but the jewelry repair bit is a joke. No more wasting money. I have to find another place. read more

The BEST customer service!! Sooooo helpful and so friendly and willing to teach you anything about beads and jewelry making. Prices are so reasonable!! Taylor is so knowledgeable, sweet, and warm, and I could have spent the day with her. This is an amazing find, and a great gem. read more

So happy I found Bead Lounge! I absolutely love the selection. The employees are wonderful and so helpful. I love getting to make my own pieces and spend time with family here. Bari, the owner, truly cares about her customers and it shows. Definitely will be coming back!! My family, friends, and I love this place!! read more

Stopped in unexpectedly on my walk when I saw the sculptures in the window. If I recall, Janelle was the name of the young lady that helped me. When she mentioned that the sculptures weren't for sale, I decided to look at the beads since I was a jeweler years ago. They have a very nice selection in a wide variety of materials, to include all sorts of findings. Janelle was very patient, kind and informative. I appreciated her assistance. Ultimately I chose all sterling silver pieces for a custom memorial bracelet, which once completed, will only cost $50. When I return to visit my son, I'll be stopping in again. read more

Came in here Tuesday for the first time, after customers at the restaurant I work at told me about it and I was not disappointed, AMAZING!! the 3 beautiful woman working were lovely, helpful and from this point on I will go nowhere else for any jewelry fixes or beads, etc... they do classes that can teach you everything you need to know about making jewelry, or they will fix for you, I got lucky and was able to wait while they repaired a few things for me at a very reasonable cost... Thank you for everything. I wish I asked the name of the woman who fixed my items... Thank you, she was beautiful inside and out. Jillian read more

Very disappointed with the customer service I received here this past week. I'm starting my own little Side earring business and was extremely excited to give this place my business for my new project. But, I walked in with my 2 friends and immediately got stared down and none of us were greeted by anyone working. There were other people being helped and we were still ignored. We continued to walk around and browse the store and continued to get absolutely no help. After we had spent some time there, a man walked in and immediately was greeted and helped the second he walked in. He was in and out of the store in 10 minutes tops and we were still appalled that no one had said a word to us. We then proceeded to leave and still; no one said a word. Extremely embarrassing for customers to come into your store and not get one ounce of help. Will not be coming back! read more

I love this place! I come in here at least once a week. They have a wide variety of unique and beautiful gem stones and beads to choose from. You can create your own piece of jewelry and if you are unable to do something, the girls that work there can do it for you. They are all so sweet and very helpful. I have brought my kids in here to make their own pieces of jewelry and they absolutely loved it. I get stopped all the time and asked about the jewelry I have made here because they have absolutely gorgeous pieces. read more

I've been here a few times and the young girls who work here are always rude and not helpful. I have to find a new bead store in the valley.

A bunch of my co-workers make their own jewelry. They kept talking about this "Bead Lounge" place right down the street from our work. After I broke my favorite bracelet (which is vintage AND was my mom's) I hoped this place could help me. Walking into the Bead Lounge was superfun! This place is basically covered wall to wall with an array of beads, charms, strings of beautiful stones, chains, etc. They also have already made pieces for sale. I found a clasp for another bracelet that broke and the girl fixed it on the spot! As I waited for my other bracelet to get fixed, I wandered around and spotted a few pieces and I tried them on and I took a look at several charms and stones that I thought I could string together into a nice bracelet for myself. I ended up buying a gift certificate for my friend because I knew she would trip over this place. It probably has everything one would need to make their own jewelry. Highly recommended for anyone who "beads" or has the slightest interest in jewelry. I feel like there is something for everyone here! read more
