Not only did they carry silver, they had a great selection to choose from. But what I've never seen before is the ability to customize your own bangle, how fun! You can pick from shells, jade, turquoise and every color of pearl. Typically the turn around time for custom jewelry is several days, but Amy, the jewelry artist went home and made the custom bracelet that night since she knew it was a birthday gift. It turned out stunning and my daughter was thrilled. Truly above and beyond service on every level!

Glad I wasn't trapped on the Big Island, but if I had to be trapped, it would be in the shop of the TIEDYEHOBO....or maybe on the grounds of the Sheraton Keauhou Resort and Spa.... The reason we pulled in off the street, unplanned? The name...TIE DYE HOBO. I was laughing all the way into the parking lot, including when the rental car's tires screeched to a halt in the dust, kicking it all up. We got out of the car but instead of laughing, we were simply AWED by the sheer and vast FOREST of tie dye stuff in the shop, including DOLLAR BILLS! How does ONE MAN do all of this?? Johnny Cullen's story is really fascinating. He pulled himself out of homelessness and worked hard to build his Tie Dye empire, along with a wildly popular Youtube and Instagram channel (51K followers on Insta). The walkway into the store was kind of like a magical trip, and I knew it was special when I saw sunflowers growing in hanging baskets, because only a cool person would come up with such a concept! Johnny Cullen, the owner, greeted us soon after and tended to our questions about his vast collection of everything tie dye: shirts, leggings, dresses, tank tops, curtains, sarongs, masks, and yes, even dollar bills. After purchasing a bunch of stuff, Johnny gave us a tour of the secret room. I am not going to ruin stuff for you here by telling you where the secret room is and what it holds, go see for yourself! There's a bunch of other cool shops around this area like the Da Bead Shop, Gypsea Gelato and Pacific Triangle's Antiques and many more (but those were the only others we visited). I've been following JC on Instagram and it seems now he's offering tie dye workshops and how-to's, and the next time I go out there on the Mamalahoa, I'll be sure to visit one of the legendary tie dye icons of our time...Cullen!

Had a similar experience to KaTrice G - pretty sure this shop is operated by racist gatekeepers…read more When I walked into the shop, the store manager was warmly chatting and laughing with another woman who looked just like her. Then, as their conversation slowed and she turned away to start walking in my direction, I tried to greet her with a "Hello" and a smile - it sounded like she was in a cheery mood, after all, and I wanted to continue to foster the good energy. I shouldn't have bothered; it was near miraculous how instantaneously her demeanor darkened, her smile evaporating like some bizarre stage trick. As she faced me, she couldn't even muster a nod of acknowledgment, much less a smile; she just glared at me with an intensely stony face, before swerving off to one side of the tiny shop wordlessly. Funnily enough, the only form of acknowledgement I did receive was from the other customer in the shop, who smiled at me hesitantly. The store manager made it to the shop's tiny front counter, where she proceeded to stubbornly avoid eye contact by scowling down at the countertop, motionless, for the next few minutes. Exactly what she was staring at was unclear, as there wasn't much to the little stand besides some pieces of jewelry on display and a payment processing pad, which I'm sure she's looked over many many times before. She refused to look up, even as I walked right past the counter to find my boyfriend. Suffice it to say, I got the message. I grabbed my boyfriend and steered him out of the shop. After we walked out and I shared my bewilderment from the singularly unpleasant encounter, my boyfriend noted that he'd also gotten a similarly wordless, cold stare as he walked by her in a different corner of the shop. It's that bewilderment that brought me here, to Yelp, to see others' experiences with this particular business. I think it's rather interesting to note that all the 5-star reviews on Yelp and Google come from people - tourists and locals alike - with looks that are reminiscent of the blonde/dirty blonde women featured on Lucky Cat's social media. Let me be clear here: I didn't walk into the shop expecting to be greeted, much less attended to. I've definitely dealt with my fair share of gruff, no-nonsense business managers in the past, and it's perfectly okay - I don't know what they're dealing with, and I've never expected to. However, the difference between the store manager's affable treatment of the other customer, and the reception (or complete lack thereof) that we received, was so jarringly stark, that I started looking the shop up online to find answers. It's remarkably hypocritical, considering the fact that the shop's Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/p/BBWBwCiFaBl/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) promotes the "placement of buddha statuary... to neutralize any negative chi," and the shop itself smells strongly of incense and sells "new age" healing/cleansing knick-knacks like sage bundles and crystals and sound thingamabobs - notes ripped off of indigenous cultures with impunity. And the clothes were basic. Usually, I try not to knock small businesses, because I know that an owner's heart and soul goes into it, but since I've had such a horrible experience with this soulless business, I'll just be honest: the products look like fast fashion items they're purchased at a discount from dubious producers overseas and sold for a premium under a veneer of island exoticism. Even worse, the selection is lazy, your numbingly predictable Western vision of an exotic "Eastern-influenced" (read: appropriated) alternative lifestyle, with nothing distinctive to offer. Really, who are you kidding?
