Beadazzled

The woman behind counter was rude and inattentive. I came to find a certain charm today that I had seen before and spent 5 minutes looking for it. No customers were in the store and the woman behind the counter was working on her beading project and never acknowledged me. When i asked if she had a certain charm she said, «no» without ever looking up.
She could have said, no, i am sorry, or no, i can order for you or no, is there something else i could help with. But she did not, just NO without any look.
I spent another couple minutes looking at other items and then left. The woman never looked up or said thank you for coming or anything. She just totally ignored me.
It is rare to have this poor of customer service. I will never return again. And i drove 60 miles round trip to try to do business with this store.

Stopped by at noon on Monday. Supposed to open at 11:00AM…locked tight…, no one there. Ironically sign in the window said shop local Lafayette. Off to check bead store in Walnut Creek.

Still open for business as of April 2014. Bought some nice earrings for Mother’s Day 2014. Very nice selection. I got some ideas for rosaries for men.
We were disappointed that the lady did not offer to make a set of custom earrings my wife wanted. The lady did not mention anything about jewelry making classes or make our own.
In Boston, there was a similar store (I think it was even called Beadazzled), that offer jewelry making classes.

The owner is super friendly and answers all of my silly newbie questions when I am there. Such a wide selection!

Nice, well-​lit shop with lots of inventory.
Owner is nice and was willing to do a few minor repairs for me while I waited.
I’ll go back!

Beautiful beads, neatly laid out store. The staff helped me find the findings I needed (no pun intended). They even had a little basket of toys for my four-​year-​old to play with while I browsed. Great experience, all round.

Bad experience at Bedazzled. Rude woman who works there with no customer service skills. She sat at her computer and paid us no attention until I went looking for her. She acted like we were an interruption. She was curt and not helpful. We came in to make a bracelet on my daughters birthday. We left after the bad treatment. Daughter was sad on her birthday because she wanted to make a birthday bracelet. Will not go back and will tell others not to go to Bedazzled. Do not recommend.

Very cute store! NOT OUT OF BUSINESS! The owner was sooo cute and chatty. One could be in there for hours!!!

Beadazzled is very much still in business — they have just moved to a new, and better location! More light! They are stll on mt diablo blvd between Chico’s and the Wells fargo bank in the corner of old st marys’ road.
Their primary focus is on seed beads and they have a great selection, but they have plenty of stones, crystals, findings, tools etc. the prices are moderate, and Lilian, the owner, is very helpful.
There is parking in a lot behind that is shared with Wells Fargo, it is a bit of an abrupt turn to get into the lot.

The owner pierced my daughters ears & handed the whole ordeal with care. Very nice. Would recommend for beads or ear piercing.

Bedazzled is still in business just at a new location in Lafayette. Still the same great service and variety of beads and findings. Look for them across the street and down past Chicos.

They are closed, out of business.
They were the largest retailer of beads in the area, in business for many years.
Due to the economic downturn, I was told by another retailer, sadly, they had to close their business.
Because there are still live reviews on Unilocal,I went by the location, just ot make sure. They are no longer there.
Obviously, it is not possible to rate a business that is out of business.

This is a great place for kids’ parties or adult parties as well. The owner could not be more helpful and accomodating, and the prices are reasonable I highly recommend Bedazzled!

This place is okay. They have a pretty good amount of beads, but not really a very wide selection. I like gemstones, and their selection was very limited. And, what they do have, are all in a case, which makes hard to look at them unless you ask the woman to pull out all the trays.
Lots of glass beads and some others, but I didn’t find anything that really stood out. Everything was pretty run of the mill.
I think House of Beads in Walnut Creek is a much better option.

If you like beads… making your own jewelry, or looking at sparkly things… this is the place to go!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many beads in one place before, the selection is huge… bigger than a normal craft store’s bead section, and they even have semi-​precious beads too (amethyst, garnet, ruby, peridot, turquoise, and TONS of others!), then they have a TON of glass beads too, in every color and tons of different shapes & sizes!
They even have a big table in the center of the store filled with beads in case you’d like to purchase a couple beads & not an entire string.
The lady that works there is soooo helpful, you can basically tell her what you’re looking for & she knows her inventory so well that she can point you to what you wanted, or give you some similar ideas… she’s super nice and very sweet!
If you want some unique beads at really good prices, and higher quality than most craft store stuff, this is the place for you!
*****IMPORTANT!*****
Remember to feed your parking meter!!! I put in 30min worth of change & there’s so much to look at in this store, I got a ticket (Booooo! $ 25!)…and stayed in here for nearly 2 hours shopping!

I can not say enough about how great this place is. If you’re looking for a huge selection of beads, charms, and jewelry accessories; this is the place. Not only can they get you all the materials for all your crafting needs, but the staff is super helpful and super friendly! My fiancée frequents this store quite often and she says that she feels like it’s family whenever she walks through the door. The owner always takes time to share ideas and thoughts on what the latest techniques and styles are. On top of that, if you’re not feeling particularly creative, they have a beautiful selection of hand made jewelry that was made by the owner herself. In my humble opinion, this is the best bead/​crafting store in the bay area!

This is a great store for the area. It has a great selection of better quality beads. The owner has always been very helpful. I enjoy shopping there whenever I need something a little different but not too expensive. The prices are very reasonable.

Bedazzled is a local bead store with loads of beautiful suprises. Lillian, the owner is very helpful and willing to teach you on the spot if you have a question. She carries loads of gemstone beads. Unlike other larger stores she sells many individual stone (briolettes etc.) and will often sell ½ a strand. Her selection is wonderful! Not very impressive from the street but check it out inside!

Pretty good supply for a local store. The owner was very helpful and answered my obviously beginner questions. She has a good selection of wires, findings, in both base metals and plated and filled. There is also a nice selection of semi-​precious beads, along with brass, gold, silver and copper beads and charms, clasps, etc. I will drive an extra 15 minutes to get to her store to get what I want (as compared to my local store). Not one-​of-​a-​kind stuff, but definitely good for what you need especially if you’re in the middle of a project and realized… crap! you need a bail! or something else. Plus there is a little parking lot right next door.

Tiny glass beads as far as the eye can see, nice large beads and charms, pieces you can buy made by the owner and all the tools you need. I got a beautiful toggle and some good advice here competitively priced with places like Michael’s, but more helpful.
