The variety is out of this world, one of the best you'll find in the CSRA. This is not Michaels, or Hobby Lobby. If you want unique beads, and goods, Yaya is the place to go. Not to mention her prices are extremely fair. Purchasing a Tibetan Buddha for $18, made in Tibet, with coral on it? It's a steal. Yaya's will continue to have my business.

They were actually really busy for a 3:00PM on a Friday. There were only two people working (one being the owner) and there were about 6 or 7 people in the store that were all purchasing something so we had to wait for them. We waited about 10-15 minutes. When they finally got to us, they were really kind. I think the girl working was new, because she didn't know a lot of the questions we were asking. The owner ended up coming over to help us. The prices are super reasonable, especially compared to other places I've seen. A small hookah was about $25. A medium sized was $50. We were looking at the medium sized, and ended up getting a medium one. It came in its own case and all, so you could break down the hookah and carry it in like a little suitcase. we bought charcoal and the tobacco, all for about $75. Which is crazy, because a lot of other stores would be way more expensive. Overall, I'd definitely come back here to purchase products. It's fairly priced and employees were really nice. Although, you may be a bit patient at times. I also ended up picking up some incense too, and they have SO MANY OPTIONS. I ended up only picking up 10, because I wasn't sure how I'd like them when they burned, but they smell amazing. I'll definitely be back to buy some more! They also have a no return/refund policy! (But usually most smoke stores have the same policy)

A must stop for your local jewelry needs…read more I never forget my experiences with people. He took a last minute order to repair my wifes favorite ring that she hasn't been able to wear in a long time durring a very busy time of the year. He finished it fast in order to have it ready for my wifes surprise birthday party. I am very appreciative of his kindness, thoughtfulness, speed, and care. He even fixed another part of the ring! I did not even ask for because I didn't want to burden him last second anymore than I needed to durring such a busy time of the year (Christmas). He told me if the ring for some reason broke again to bring it back and he would fix it, however it has held up just fine since December 2019 now and my wife is happily wearing her favorite every day again looking as good as the day I bought it for her! It's so bright and shiny now! He even gave me a simple little box to wrap it in for her party. This is a wnderful little shop, and my wife and I are so happy and impressed with this place that she said when she needs something new this will be our first shop in mind. I will also be recommending this shop as the local Go-to. It isn't a corporate feeling experience, you feel like an actual person, not just a walking cash-cow. Having a nice chat with someone who actually cares about you and your needs and I for one will not forget the way I was treated that day.

After getting home and looking at the receipt, it had 14 carat ladies ring. And then looking inside the ring, it was marked 10 carat. The sales person should have told us that. Plus we paid the price for a 14k. Sales are final, so we are stuck with a cheaper one. The ring is beautiful. Maybe the sales person couldn't read the 10k inside of the ring. Bottom line they charged for 14k. Then there was $140:00 for sizing. All of the sales people were nice. Lesson learned, always check your jewelry to see the weight of it before purchasing. Don't take their word.

Typically, I've only seen one woman working there, who I believe is the owner. She has always been warm, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. She even helped my mom and me pick out herbs to support my PCOS, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, my visit today was not as positive. When I entered, the woman working was friendly, but the energy felt a bit off--something I wouldn't normally hold much weight against on its own. My main concern came at checkout. I came in specifically to purchase oracle decks and found a few decks I liked. One deck, in particular, had a handwritten sticker clearly marked at $17. The other decks had barcodes with prices printed directly on the boxes. When I checked out, the total was much higher than expected, but I was distracted at the register and didn't question it at the moment. Once I got home, I checked my receipt and realized that the deck marked $17 had been rung up as $42. When I checked the box, the price sticker was no longer there. This felt very intentional, especially since I've shopped here many times and know that nearly every item is clearly priced, either with a barcode or a handwritten sticker. The only reason I purchased that particular deck was because it was marked $17. I felt taken advantage of and honestly insulted. I came to this store not only for the products, but also for the sense of sanctuary and positive energy it usually provides. It's really unfortunate, because I've always had positive experiences here and it was even recommended to me by my therapist as part of my spiritual journey. I've enjoyed every purchase I've made in the past. However, this experience was enough to make me decide not to return. I would just encourage others to be mindful of the energy when entering spaces like this and to pay close attention at checkout to ensure items are rung up correctly.

I do not recommend that anyone ever go to Friedmans for any services other than perhaps the adjacent gun/pawn/whatever it is shop.
