Really impressed with this bead store. Huge variety and the selection is top quality too. The have just about every single thing you will ever need to make jewelry and do crafts with. Their gemstone collection is very nice and good quality too. There prices are excellent especially compared to other local shops in surrounding area! They also have a HUGE selection of Swarovski which is a huge bonus. When I came in there was a really helpful young lady at the counter and another woman as well. Both very helpful and really nice too! Another bonus when compared to some other local stores! You know who I’m talking about! If not read up on Unilocal regarding Bead stores and you will know what I mean! I will definitely be back and offer too. If your in the area you should stop in, you don’t need to be a beading expert to shop here and they make you feel right at home. Thankful they are so close to where I live!

With snotty signs up like«you pull, you buy» and no exchanges or refunds, I didn’t even want to buy anything here. Totally lame store.

Great variety and pricing. Beware all sales are final — no exchanges. That is posted at the register clearly. The young ladies working there are quick to help you find what you are looking for. I’ve only shopped there yesterday, but I will definitely be back!

I was a loyal customer at JJ Beads for a long time. I would patron the store about twice a week to buy supplies and spent a lot of money there. One day I bought a pack of lobster clasps and when I got home I realized I had purchased the wrong size. I took them back and asked if I could exchange the UNOPENED package for the smaller size. The girl at the counter said they do not accept returns. I said I understood that, but I simply wanted to exchange them for a smaller size. I didn’t want my money back. She refused to exchange them. I reminded her that I spend a lot of money there and am a regular customer. All I wanted was to exchange a $ 3 package of lobster clasps. She still refused. It blows my mind that they were willing to lose a loyal, regular customer over this. What bad business.

I had a great experience here, the bead prices were actually not as expensive as I was expecting. The seed bead tubes were $ 2.50 a pop, the clasps and other findings/hardware were also very reasonably priced. The women working were super friendly and the store was very well lit so as to see the bead color properly. They carry SOMANY beads, it was pretty overwhelming at first i’ll be honest. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but step inside and you’ll be impressed. They also gave me a nice little gift from their chinese new year celebration which was super cool too. They accept credit card over $ 20

This is an awesome store however in the time I got my kids in the stroller they shut their doors early. Saved me money as I needed swavarski crystals however driving from garden grove again to watch the employees past us doesn’t make me happy!

What an amazing selection this place has!!! They have ceiling to floor beads in all kinds of styles. A really good selection of seed beads, glass beads and pearls. Lots of charms on the tables, which can be a little overwhelming to look through, but there’s cool stuff there. And the prices are really really good, especially for a small business.

Have been here several times now and found the store well-stocked and organized, the people friendly and prices reasonable. It shares the parking lot but is somewhat west from Toys R Us and Hobby Lobby, where I refuse to shop out of principle, and is halfway down the long side of the L-shaped shopping center(in other words, across the street from the Golden West College parking lot).

I really like the selection of pearls & Swarovski crystals here. Their prices are very reasonable too. The owners are extremely friendly & talented with their designs. They used to have family helping them out behind the counter that had some attitude but I think they’ve replaced them because the last time I was there, the girl behind the counter was extremely helpful & patient. I live 25 minutes away but don’t mind driving there for the great deals. Also, their online ordering is super fast. I ordered some crystals & they arrived in 2 days. Impressive!

It can be hard to find things at times so make sure you ask for help if you can’t find something. They were super helpful and they knew everything was. This place is packed with goodies. Well labeled and packaged and organized. I have to say their prices are a bit on the high end. But I can’t possibly drive all the way to LA every time I need a clasp. And the quality of items is high, which is something I will never complain about. All in all a great shopping experience. They were even blasting some Mariah Carey Christmas music in September which is always a good choice.

I love this place. I come in specifically for the swarovski flatbacks. It’s pretty organized. I used to have to wait while one of the gals counted out 144 small ass crystals, but now they have them already pre counted and ready to go. Much better! Also… they only like to take credit/debit cards for purchases over $ 20, so bring cash for smaller purchases.

I honestly feel lucky to have JJBEADS in my neighborhood. Ive been to many other places and NOONE has the prices and or selection JJ has! The place in Costa Mesa on Harbor is a joke! I needed some flatbacks as an emergency and I didn’t even buy them. I could get quadruple the amount at JJ and so I did. LOVEMYJJBEAD! Seriously, they are one of the best within 25 miles!!!

This place is crammed full of beading stuff. It kinda looks like my craft corner, piled high with clear boxes and randomness. I say if you are new to beading, take a friend who knows what they are doing– this place is not for novices. The bead world has all of its own special terms of art, so if you don’t know how to push your way to the front of the counter, and yell, «One gross of 4 millimeter Light Rose AB2X margarita crystal» then definately stay out of my way. I will find you annoying and crush you. I love that they stay open late(til 7) so sometimes I can make it after work if I ever leave work on time. The husband is usually the one working at night, but he is really friendly and accomodating. I am probably a pain of a customer because I am very particular and like to touch everything before they put it in the bag, but this crap is expensive and I want ot make sure I am happy with the quality. If you go in the daytime or on weekends when the girls are working, this place is usually crowded, but they do their best to count out crystal as fast as they can. Very good crystal selection, but not too many of the new colors. OK glass section– not a lot of variety, but much more than you would find at JoAnns or Michaels. Good pearl selection, and good sterling selection. Their prices are better than most local shops, and they also offer classes(in kinda a weird back room behind a curtain) which I have not tried yet.

This place has been opened for business for more than 3 years and no reviews?! This place ROCKS if you are into jewelry making! This is a little store located right off Edinger & Goldenwest.(Inside the Toys R Us Plaza) They have sooooooooooooo much selection of beads. I almost had a heart attack upon entering because this is nothing like Michaels. seriously! They also carry swarovski crystals here. So if you’re into jewelry making. or need beads for whatever reason… stop by here! They are also very friendly too. They also offer classes here which I am going to take a class or two in the near future.
