Wonderful experience! There's joy and love out into every bead in this business. Ayodele is love, light, and warmth. When you walk in, you're welcomed with a smile and amazing positive vibes. The waist beads are top tier, lovingly crafted, beautifully made, and created with knowledge and intention. I came in just to get a set for my daughter thinking I was too big but nope lol. She fitted me with several lovely strands that fit well and are comfortable.

I gave my daughter a waist bead party at her location, which was very warm and family-friendly. I have since then visited the website to check out the inventory before going back to purchase more waist beads. We all had a good time eating and spending time together. I have plans to get more beads in the near future.

What! This is the first place I went to for my waist beads and have been coming back ever since..Ayodelle is the best. Her shop is so cozy and she makes you feel at home!
Thank you Ayodelle for a first time experience every time!

I absolutely love this place. Ayodele is so knowledgeable. Her inner beauty always shines through.

Ayodele was the first person to expose mw to waist-beads. I was her intern when I was younger and still wear her beads that I got many years ago. She doesn’t just sell waist beads. She provides you with the meaning, power, and beauty behind them and you. You will not regret purchasing with duafe designs.

I highly recommend Ayodele for any interested in waist beads. She has a beautiful shop and high quality beads. Ayodele has a calm, welcoming presence and is extremely knowledgeable about waist beads. Can’t wait to get more beads!

It was a very unique and beautiful experience with my daughter and granddaughter We all purchased beautiful waste beads, as a senior I didn't think It wasn't appropriate at my age I was reassured that you can wear waist beads from newborns to a 100 and beyond, so I purchased a beautiful set of waste beats, I am thrilled and satisfied with them. We will be returning with my great granddaughter who is turning two in August. I highly recommend it you will enjoy the experience💜

Ayodele, the owner was absolutely wonderful. Her presentation, customer service and personal touch on the beading install was everything. Consistency is important in business and thus far, I've been to the shop twice and each time with different friends and family; Ayodele's professionalism was exemplary. The shop is quaint, calm, clean and inviting. All of the product are beautifully made and sizeable for everyone. I ❤ all the things I have from DUAFE. I've been beaded twice, I bought a very nice handbag and a beautiful pair of earrings....all handmade by Ayodele. Much Love

The best Waist beads Ive ever had. Her artistic design is unlike any other person I've ever seen. She's so dedicated, personable and kind. I trust her, its best to have the right energy beading you. She also makes sure that you have full understanding about the entire process and what this African tradition is really about. I love her parties and workshops!!

I do not live in the area so I haven’t been to her shop. I am an online customer and I just completely love her. She is so kind and just an amazing person. I love all of my beads that I have purchased from her. They are so beautiful and I can feel the love in every strand. Anytime that I text or call she gets right back. You can tell that she genuinely loves what she does.

Ayodele is one of a kind along with her amazing shop !! She does is a waistbead queen and knows all the background spiritual meanings behind the beads , their colors and all that ties into the history along with culture of waistbeads . You will not be disappointed I am starting my collection currently at 4 waistbeads

I've had nothing but wonderful and amazing experiences with Duafe Designs. I've been 3 times and headed for my 4th visit. The experience is very personal, professional and calming. My daughter was treated for her 13th birthday and when I attended with her, I became hooked. I highly recommend and continue to go until the beads are up to my neck. LOL

Had my Waistbeads for 9 years never had an issue friendly and welcoming I always recommend

I lo e the one on one personal attention provided whenever I visit the shop. It's an experience whenever I'm at Duafe Designs.

The ONLY place to get waistbands! Atidele shares history and philosophy from Africa.

The shop is beautifully decorated, cute lounge area and it's so welcoming.
