THE EXPERIENCE
I recently purchased Ghanaian waist beads, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with both the quality and service I received. The beads are absolutely stunning, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and vibrant colors that truly stand out. Each bead is perfectly shaped and strung, reflecting the rich cultural heritage they represent.
The customer service was exceptional from start to finish. Tafari was attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure my order was exactly what I wanted. The packaging was beautiful and secure, ensuring my beads arrived in perfect condition.
Wearing these waist beads has been a wonderful experience, adding a touch of elegance and tradition to my daily life. I highly recommend Beads in the Trap to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality African waist beads. Thank you for such a fantastic product and excellent service!
If you haven’t been to a Beads in the Trap pop up, what are you doing with your life? I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences since my introduction to this service. The beads are authentic, beautiful and Tafari fits them according to your taste.
They’ve lasted through showers, workouts and numerous wardrobe changes (I’ve had my blue ones 2-3 years).
Make this experience next on your list!
I absolutely love my waist beads from Beads in the Trap! The collection of waist beads offered are exquisite, with beautiful vibrant colors and a wide variety of styles to suit your taste.
The craftsmanship is outstanding. I’ve been wearing my beads since 2021 and I’ve never had an issue with them fraying, breaking or losing their luster. And Tafari is an expert when it comes to fitting; putting you at ease and offering suggestions for how to layer the beads. Plus he is just an awesome human being.
Aside from wearing my beads for style and femineity, they have been a key part of my fitness journey and I look forward to purchasing my next set from Beads in the Trap!
From the outstanding customer service, to the extra care that my waist beads fit well, Tafari and his waist beads got a sister feeling very special and ALL the way sexy.
Y’all betta get y’all some.
