I. Love. Their. Earrings. This store is like a magnet due to their jewelry and the rest of their merchandise. Love visiting Shara! Oh! Their positive vibe allows you to spend your time browsing around. I personally own at least 10 pairs of their stud earrings which are perfectly crafted with brushed gold, silver, as well as other materials. I also own a gold ring and a few necklaces. Can't go wrong with this gem. Happy shopping! read more

I won't be shopping at Shara on Second Street in Long Beach anymore, nor at their Seal Beach location or any other location. Unfortunately, it comes down to poor customer service and policies that seem to be enforced randomly. Yesterday (March 2) I went in to exchange a $20 item my husband bought me as a gift. It was a belly chain, not a necklace, so I simply wanted to swap it for something else. I wasn't asking for a refund. I just wanted to exchange it for another item in the store. I've exchanged items there before without any issue, so I assumed this would be easy. Imagine my surprise when the employee told me I could not even do an exchange without a receipt. The item was in the original Shara bag with the original Shara tag still attached. She said she had no idea how old the item was, even though it had been purchased about two weeks ago. The exact item was still on display in the store, but instead of simply finding it or offering store credit, she just said no. I asked to speak with a manager. She refused and said she had to text someone and wait for a response. When I explained that I shop there regularly and was surprised by how this was being handled, she replied that if I were really a regular customer, I should know the store policies. At that point the interaction had gotten so frustrating that I lost my patience and left the store. I came in expecting a quick exchange and left feeling like I had done something wrong. It only takes one bad experience to lose a loyal customer. I used to shop at Shara because I like supporting small businesses, but customer service matters. Their items are cute, but nothing they sell is unique enough to justify that kind of experience. The tourists will probably keep this place busy, but I won't be returning. read more

I have been to Shara a number of times. More than 15 in the last 9 months. I can count on 1 finger how many times someone has greeted me but do not have enough fingers and toes to count how many times the employees aren't around or they are on their phones. For the prices, location, I would expect a simple hello. Clothes are ok but the overpriced. Jewelry, DO NOT BUY!!! Tarnish in a moment. I am take my jewelry off nightly, no perfume or lotion. Terrible. Do not recommend remotely. Hopefully, this post gets not just the manager but the owners attention. read more

I like this place, I like the vibes and mirrors. The employees are nice too BUT unfortunately I saw the stuff they sell on AliExpress for much cheaper so I'm not gonna be going back because they resell cheap stuff for high prices :( read more

See all

Shoppers beware! My gf and I walked into this store today after having a lovely lunch. While we were walking around the store the 2 sales associates were loudly bad mouthing previous customers. This was very unprofessional and made us uncomfortable but things got worse when one associate said to the other associate loud enough to hear 'watch her' We were shocked and stared at them like they couldn't be talking about us. But one associate approched my gf closely and made a brief comment to her We instantly realized they had meant us. OMG talk about putting our purchases down and feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. This has never happened to us before - anywhere! Shame on that store for trtreating customers that way! NO ONE SHOULD SHOP HERE. read more

Honestly I was so hopeful :( My bestfriend kept talking about how much she loved the this. She's only tried the silver pieces. Well, we went in, and I was thinking it was a bit pricey for some pieces (ex. $30+ for some "gold" rings). However, I thought, if they were 14K gold plated like the worker said, then I guess it would be worth it. Both rings I got turned my fingers green within a couple times of me wearing it... I was so bummed out because I loved the different styles and wanted to go back. I don't remember the last time I bought a ring that turned my fingers green. read more

My wife and I found our way in here looking for a unique gift for our Nona on her birthday. They have plenty of cool stuff, including jewelry and fashion apparel. We got helped by Sarah on a Friday night and she was plenty friendly and did not overstep the customer boundaries. We found this to be a nice store with plenty of good giftable options, I think Nona will be happy with our find. read more

The buyer for this store deserves a bouquet of flowers for their AMAZING eye for fashion!!!!! Really great fits, and accessories!!!! Extremely highly recommended read more

This place had beautiful jewelry and clothes but I didn't feel welcome here and I was being followed around the store . Every move I made there was someone watching me , it would be a difference if I was greeted and asked if I needed help with anything. I left the items I was interested in and will not be returning. This place needs to really step up their customer service. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would do not waste your time coming here to this establishment. They have no customer service extremely rude and we look at you at the register and continue to walk off like you're invisible. the same lady short curly hair, possibly black woman was the one who came to register not once, but twice seen me there and walked away!!! didn't bother to ask if I was ready or needed. Any help!! Then another associate overhears me saying I'm gonna leave a review so she comes out and follows me outside to ask if there's a problem and said she was busy helping others, when the situation had nothing to do with her but her other employee!!! and the comment about them badmouthing customers is very true. They're very rude and talk behind people's back. read more

This store always closes at an earlier hour than their website or Yelp has posted. The girls working the counter determine when they want to close, Despite their website and Yelp saying they close at 9. Response- this is regarding the store on 2nd street. No rains had happened for a week. This was on Sunday 2/25 read more

I'm going to give Shara an A-ok rating after two separate experiences I had spending my store credit. I went in to browse for some jewelry and the associate was very nice and helpful in answering questions regarding what metals were used in the making of each piece. There was a sweater on the mannequin I fell in love with and tried on. I didn't get the sweater, but the friendly associate who rang me up for the jewelry was properly thorough in explaining their return policy. A few days later, and I can't stop thinking about that sweater. I call to see if they have my size in the color I want, and they do. I asked if they could hold it behind the counter for me because I was worried about them selling out, and they said it wouldn't be a problem. A few hours later, my store credit is depleted and my new sweater is now my new favorite. Hopefully, they got rid of the store associates who didn't want to be there and hired people who are better suited to retail. I'll continue to browse and shop at Shara. They have some cute stuff. read more

This place has beautiful curb appeal , the clothes feel like great quality and they have a good selection of clothes. The jewelry seems cheaply made though. The reason for my extremely low rating though goes back to the customer service. Before going in I had no idea that my Black friend and I would be profiled. First of all from the moment we entered the employee was watching our every move she then got very close and was following us. Obviously she didn't do it very well because I noticed every time she was close. We would go to one section and the employee was pretending to organize clothes that were already organized . She literally was just moving hangers around and following us throughout the store . It wasn't until the last few moment she backed off . There were two other non Black customers in the store and she didn't follow them around . It is insulting and very frustrating. I almost didn't buy the sweater I liked due to the sheer and utter audacity of the employee. Even though I like the clothes and can EASILY and READILY afford it , I do not appreciate the racial profiling I experienced here. I read some of comments here and on google and I'm not shocked so many people got accused of stealing because apparently this seems to be common experience . Anyways I will not recommend this store to anyone I know , and I will not come back here. Y'all need to do better . read more

Tina was AMAZING!!! We kept finding perfect gems. It was so nice to shop with such a nice sales associate!! Can't wait to come back!! read more

Shara - Accessories Near Me - Long Beach, California

Entered and just felt like i was being watched and followed around as well. No greet at all. If they dont feel like talking or woke up wrong side of the bed then they shouldn't be working in jobs that involve interacting with customers. Did not feel welcome at all whatsoever. read more

The people here have a horrible attitude problem!! Every single person in here was rude and unhelpful and accusing my group of shop lifting. Even after proving that my friend did not take anything and emptying all her pockets these imbeciles had the audacity to keep giving attitude when they were wrong and from the looks of the reviews they've done this to others as well. How dare you treat random people with such disrespect. Watch who you screw over. read more

Such cute jewelry! I love coming here for my dainty jewelry for any occasion. They also have so much cute clothing!

Had a terrible experience at Shara bits n pieces with a staff member. When I walked in the store the lady at the front was on her phone and did not acknowledge me at all so I said hello and did not get a response. When going to check out I set my items on the counter and the lady did not look up from her phone to check my items out for at least 30 seconds as I stood directly in front of her. She was having a hard time finding the items on the iPad which wasn't a big deal but the check out process took over 10 minutes and she did not apologize once. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I was not happy at all with my experience here. read more

Located on 2 street. This nice shop has a lot of nice items to choose from. Had a lot of items for the wife to keep warm and other special items if you wanna give the special someone in your life a nice gift. When I entered I noticed the sales lady spraying the area keeping items clean. She was vet nice and social distance. Very good location and was safe. They have street parking and there is a lot out back to park. Area is safe read more

Meh. I like the items. I feel like the customer service isn't so great. The employees followed me around staring at me and didn't ask if I needed help at all. I probably shouldn't have purchased anything due to the customer service. It felt like they were assuming I was going to steal something. I ended up buying a few pairs of earrings. Loved the products, disliked the service. My only suggestion would be to ask people if they need help as opposed to following people around. I felt very uncomfortable in this store. read more

I was waiting for a table on 2nd street in Long Beach and saw a clothing store across the street - I walked in and noticed many cute things - I notice that my size ( I have BOOBS ) XL was not there nor was a Large . I asked the girl with blue green hair if they had an XL , and she replied " We don't have anything in XL" ! Her tone was less than stellar, actually it was kinda mean.. sad they don't have good customer service or provide a selection of clothes for girls with a boobs and curves .. read more

While this boutique has cute clothes, I was very disappointed with their customer service / try-on policy. They have two dressing rooms. At the time, one was occupied and the other was not. Despite being ready to try-on my items, I was asked to wait by the salesperson because another lady, whom was still shopping, had a couple items in the unoccupied dressing room. I would hope the shopper whom is ready to try-on (myself in this case) would trump customers still shopping, but apparently that's not the case with this boutique. Very disappointing. read more

Rude employees and horrible customer service. Love the Seal Beach location but hate this location. I saw this store when I was on 2nd street and I love the Seal Beach location so figured it was worth the stop. The employee was rude and unwelcoming, will definitely not be back. read more

This is a very nice little boutique that my friend and I stumbled upon while making a day trip to 2nd Street in Long Beach. I enjoyed looking at all of the bohemian-style costume jewelry and clothing. The prices are reasonable. The jewelry is not real silver or gold but great if you like costume jewelry, many with real semi-precious stones. The people who work there are very nice. read more

The cutest clothes, I love that their pieces seem less trending than other small shops.. like everything is timeless and very good quality definitely a must visit!! read more

My Long Beach grandaughter & her Mom love Shara & when I visit from Seattle, it's a "must stop in" shop! Jewelry, trinkets, scarves, gifts...there's always something that catches my eye! Today was no exception! Though I couldn't visit in person, Tina was my personal shopper on the phone, choosing a birthday gift for our sweet teen granddaughter & amazingly enough, we found out she and our grandaughter are birthday twins! I couldn't have had more personalized attention and it was one of my favorite shopping experiences...from 1000 miles away! I know she'll be thrilled with her gifts & appreciate Tina's going above & beyond to make her gift special in every way!!! Hopefully my next visit will be in person...for a little something for myself too! read more

Not sure what the unhappy customer is talking about but every time I've ever gone into both locations I've been greeted with smiles and everyone has been so helpful. I have run into the owner and she so so so sweet. I love this little gem of a store and I hope it continues to thrive! read more

Everything in here is adorable and fits and occasion you're looking for! Be prepare to want everything! Literally!

Found a few cute items but service was terrible and felt a bit racist. I wasn't greeted or acknowledged while there were at least 3 girls working and it's not a big store. They did say welcome to several customers after me. I also felt a bit followed because they'd be always close to me and look at me but didn't say anything. (Someone else also said they felt followed in a previous review) One of the girls asked a couple right next to me if they needed help but still ignored me. Then as I was checking out, the girl training a new girl said "make sure you check all the inside of purses customers purchase because sometimes jewelry will fall in there" It felt weird. I probably shouldn't have bought stuff but I didn't want to let some immature girls keep me from something I wanted to purchase. As a small business owner myself, I would emphasize treating all customers equally because it just feels tacky. read more

I discovered this gem of a boutique while strolling down and it is one of my favorite stores!!! There are so many dainty necklaces, bracelets, and rings with all types of colors and designs. Perfect place to find a gift for someone you love! There's a little something in there for every taste. The price is wonderful for what you get. I do wish they carry smaller size rings, but I was able to find a couple that fit my skinny fingers. The customer service was awesome, she didn't bother me and let me take my time choosing all my items. Please carry more small ring sizes for petite fingers and I will always come back!!! read more

I was in shopping while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant and found a ring that I ended up buying. On my way home I lost it somehow and called to see if I could buy a new one and have it mailed. Not only are they mailing a new one, but they are doing so free of charge. I love that they were willing to go out of their way for me and will definitely be shopping with them in the future. read more

This store is awesome!! They seriously have the cutest jewelry and I love their bags. I have gone in here multiple times and had a great experience. I have to say Desiree is probably my favorite sales associate. She is always super friendly and helps piece things together for a super cute look. I have recommended this store to all my friends. read more

THE CUTEST STORE!! staff working there was super helpful with what I was looking for. Its a very nice and clean shop they all seem like they know what they are doing. Will be back! read more

This is a review of the staff and location more than the selection. Not exactly my style but also I don't think I'm their target shopper. My daughter and wife are though, and they always rave about the bags, belts, and jewelry. The ladies who staff this store are friendly and kind. They are happy to advise on styles and what's new in stock as well as what's new with life. We were just in this evening browsing and the sweetest girl working behind the desk really brightened our day. read more

We purchased a necklace from and were told we could return it within 14 days because we were unsure of the size and it was a gift. It wasn't long enough so we brought it back three days later with the receipt, and were told they only do exchanges and not even store credit. So we left with a different (still not satisfactory) necklace that was $4 cheaper than the one we bought. Terrible policy that functionally anticipates you'll have buyers remorse. read more

I love popping into Shara whenever I find myself on second street. When it comes to affordability and a friendly atmosphere, this place takes the cake! The staff here are always friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. Definitely the place to grab a last minute accessory for an event! read more

hannah was super sweet and helpful with assisting me. definitely the kind of cheerful attitude you like to see when shopping. however, i went to the other location the same day and the girl working there was a darkly tanned young lady with a negative attitude who seemed like she didn't want to be there. read more

I love this store. I've shopped here a few times, I always find something cute to buy. Employees are really nice and always help me find what I need. Would definitely recommend shopping here :) read more

Walked in today with my daughter, there were two girls sitting at the front register, one was eating yogurtland and the other was on her phone. They were both just sitting talking to each other. Upon entering my daughter and I were both looked up and down, we were not greeted with even a smile nor a "hello". Walked around the store for about 10 minutes and these girls never once said a word to us. Didn't ask if we needed help or anything, they sat there and talked about how they just wanted to be "Instagram models", well ladies you work retail, and that means customer service, and this store is LACKING that. My daughter and I walked out and received yet another look from these girls looking us up and down. Extremely rude!! Would have shopped here for my daughter and I but I was concerned I might have to do some sort of self check out because these girls were NOT there to work. It's not social hour now, is it? This place needs work. Will NEVER shop here, wanted to give this place a chance considering all the other boutiques on second street are filled with rude college girls, I guess this establishment is too! read more
