"I'm new to beading and usually feel overwhelmed by the volume and bothersome to the staff when shopping at a bead store, but not at The Bead Gallery. Everytime I enter your store I feel excited to start a new jewelry project. I'm always greeted with a sincere smile and the staff are so helpful answering my questions or giving me tips. I'm hooked on beading and hooked on The Bead Gallery! Thanks!" Christy I.

"Clearly you have the best bead store in the state...have not found any other that offers what you offer. Looking forward to visiting again!" Sita S.

"I want you to know how much I enjoy and appreciate your e-mails and your help when I come into your store. Through the years of beading, I have tried out different stores looking for good deals and have come out frustrated because of the way the store is laid out and the lack of customer service. Your store is by far my favorite and it's because of you and your staff." - Pamela Q.

"I just received the email about the Charity Fair and I was astonished at the amount of money you raised. I had done a similar Holiday Boutique in the name of breast cancer because I lost my Aunt in 1996. We didn't raise nearly the amount that you all did, but I would like to have a portion of it added to The Bead Gallery donation to the Kapio'lani Womens Center. I will be in Hawaii this weekend for the U2 Concert and I would like to meet you and say thank you for help in getting all the bead projects." Ivy M.

were in the store. Everyone was super helpful and so friendly! Thank you Jason for all your help!"

"I stopped in last week to pick up some supplies to make earrings for a wedding I was in the following day. Lanette was a tremendous help. I mentioned how I was staying in a hotel and wasn't sure how I would make them without any tools, so she offered to help me ever so graciously and they turned out beautifully! I got many compliments on them and wanted to extend my thanks to her for being so accommodating. What tremendous customer service! I wish I lived in Hawaii... I would shop at The Bead Gallery all the time!" Jaime M.

"I finished the Kaui strawberry and Maui pineapple already (they were so much FUN) and I am dying to get the critters, puppies, and sweet treats. Thanks again!"
