Great experience here! Kevin was so helpful in assisting me with picking out jewelry and explaining aftercare. Derek did 2 ear piercings for me and was amazing at explaining every step and what to expect. I was a bit nervous going in as I had not done any piercings since I was quite young however Derek guided me through the process with such patience. Would strongly recommend checking Barbella out!
I don’t think I have ever left a review for anything... but I HAD to because Barbella was so amazing! Seriously had a phenomenal experience at this place. Their prices are very reasonable, the appointment took 20 minutes max, and Steven is AMAZING at his job. So friendly, funny, professional, experienced, kind, and just wow. I was very impressed and will be recommending this place to everyone.
I was referred to this shop by my previous piercer who moved away. I had my nipples pierced 4 years ago and they didn’t heal properly, one the piercings went through my areola 😖, 4 years later I really wanted them done again but didn’t want to go to the previous shop. When I got to my appointment Lauren and Cat (I believe that’s their name) we’re professionals. They made me feel so comfortable even though I was extremely nervous. My first experience with my nipple piercings were extremely painful and I felt rushed. This time around, I had pain but it was manageable, the piercer went through the entire process and gave me a detailed break down of healing time, cleaning, etc. they even gave me a little card on how to clean! I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and kindness. I will absolutely be back and will refer my friends and family here!
So professional and fun. Love the staff. They are so knowledgeable there and I felt very well taken care of. Very clean place. Highly recommend.
Had a great experience at Barbella Studios from the moment I walked in. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. The studio is very clean and I felt very safe with the responsible COVID procedures in place. So happy I got my ear piercings here and I highly recommend them!
I love Barbella with every fibre of my being when it comes to piercings. Stephen, Derek, Kevin, and Cat have all been so incredibly helpful and are always willing to accommodate their clients to the absolute best of their ability from answering questions via instagram DM to getting me a cup of water to help calm my nerves. as someone with 7 holes in their head and a former victim (haha) of having piercings done at Claire’s, this place really takes the cake for studios in OC and is also APP certified which is super important!! this place truly has some of the most knowledgeable, sweetest, and patient employees. not to mention the variety in their inventory as well! there is truly something for everyone at Barbella and i absolutely love every single piercing i’ve had done by them and haven’t had any complications or issues at all. :-)
I got my piercing in Ten Tigers and it was a great experience. I had to get upsized because of swelling and new I wanted to stick to this company so I came to Barbella. Cat was so helpful and professional about it. She instantly relieved my pain and instructed me what to do next about the swelling. I love this chain of piercing shops, cant wait to get my next piercing from them!
Went in to stretch my gages from an 8 to a 6 and Steven was my piercer. I was super anxious about the size up, but he was so professional and kind. Made the whole process smooth, quick and as painless as possible. The place was really sanitary, well maintained, and welcoming. Cat was super sweet and helpful too! Definitely recommend this place!
Just got home from my first piercing appointment (ever) at Barbella, and Im confident that it was money and time well-spent! Stephen was super kind, comforting, and relaxed (crucial since Im such a wimp about needles) and pierced both my ears with ample warning and opportunity to perfect the placement. I went a little over my budget upgrading to small gold hoops instead of studs, but the look is KILLER and so worth it. If I ever need another piercing or body mod, Ill definitely be back here. The whole thing took about 20 minutes, tops.Kids + teens, youll feel safe here, and parents, this is the place to go. Their safety policies (COVID or otherwise) were all made easy to adhere to, and I appreciate their sensitivity regarding sanitation and general respect for my body.These guys rock! :)
I called about repiercing ears with specific jewelery. They said make an appointment. I said I would make an appointment to view jewlery only as i wasnot sure what they carried and i wanted something specific. i found they wanted driver liscence photo and $3 pre charge for the visit. so i called again. i explained i was Hard of Hearing on a speech to text app. i explained i wanted a base view of jewlery first but why would i be charge for that. the woman on the phone was not very nice when she said stop yelling, when i wasnt and that the charge would stand and not be refunded for looking at jewlery because of covid. this may be a top rated peircing salon but they are not friendly. she finally did tell me the brand and i was not please with the selection on the brands website. this could have been handled better and their websit can say what brands they carry. if u want to preview and look, do NOT come here! calling will get u little
Ive been coming to Barbella for years, and I wont go anywhere else. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and I know Im getting pierced by well-trained professionals. Will always recommend Barbella!
Super chill and amazing ppl. Have been coming for years. I never feel rushed here, they talk you thru everything and make sure you are comfortable
Support businesses that are going their best! Especially during COVID times
Super nice, super patient, super professional!! Our Bank of America credit card declined and had us on hold for 2 hours & Barbella was so patient and helpful. And their piercings didnt hurt at all!
Got two piercing last week. From start to finish it was just a great experience. The lady who opened the door for me walked me through all the new protocols and was really sweet. The gentleman who actually didnt piercing had all his PPE on. Explained everything he was doing, and was professional. Answered all questions I had also. Definitely going back for more.
Absolutely love Barbella and is the only place I will ever get pierced or recommend to anyone. Extremely professional and a new level of sanitary. Have gone here several times over the past 6 years and always treated with the best service. Pricier than any other piercing studio Ive come across but worth every penny (but like its really not bad - you get what you pay for). Great environment and I cant praise them enough for their cleanliness.
This is a great place! Clean establishment and friendly staff. I recently came to get my 15 year old daughters nose pierced and decided to get mine pierced too! Cathi was very informative about care for the piercings and products offered to keep piercings clean. Stephen did our piercings and was amazing! He did the piercings quickly and gently. I highly recommend Barbella! Thanks for everything!
Every piercing Ive had done here was an excellent experience. Ive had tongue, nose, and ears repierced. Clean, professional, and quick. Definately recommend!!!
I found this gem of a studio on a Google search when I was looking to replace some jewelry in piercings I had done elsewhere. I was pleasantly surprised by the trendy atmosphere and the setup. They take walk-ins only so it could be quick in and out or a bit of a wait.The facility is very clean and the piercing artist is definitely skilled with a Keen eye for positioning of new piercings and jewelry that suits your look! Very honest!Quality jewelry and a fairly good (and some unique) selections to choose from.I had my nose pierced in December and just went back last week for piercings in my left ear. Definitely recommending them to all of my friends and colleagues!
Barbella is wonderful and I only go to this place. They are SUPER CLEAN and sanitary plus extremely nice!
Ive been getting pierced at Barbella for almost five years now and I would never go anywhere else! Friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff. Excellent jewelry selection. A calm, positive, stress free environment to get needles put through you. I cannot recommend Stephen and Derek enough. :)
Only because they were courteous they get two stars. However, I’m actually appalled that as a piercing shop, they only carry externally threaded barbells, when many piercers agree, this should not be the case. But you know what? What do I know. *throws hands in the air*
Everyone here is super knowledgeable about the healing process, aftercare, and any problems that may arise. Staff is always very sweet and patient. Honestly my threshold for pain is pretty low and needles freak me out a little bit but Ive gone back to get more piercings from this place as a result of the great care and professionalism extended to me. 10/10 recommend
Outstanding staff that is beyond professional and knowledgeable in what they do. If you are looking for a place to have a great piercing experience, this is the place.
Got my ears pierced there about four weeks ago, super quick and almost painless! The two guys I met there were very friendly and cool. Only gave one star off because I just called with a question about my piercing and the lady that answered was a little rude and short.. besides her tone and unfriendly manor its a great place to go for piercings!
I went in for my dermal piercing yesterday, and I definitely decided on the right shop. Barbella Studios provides a friendly, relaxing environment, and gets the job done right. Stephen did my piercing, and he was nothing less than outstanding. He walked me through the entire piercing process to ensure comfort. His talent for piercing is obvious, and he definitely did a great job. After the piercing, I received detailed instructions on how to care for the piercing, and was told that any necessary follow up would be free of charge. Bottom line- this shop separates itself from most others by truly caring for the well being of its customers. If you are searching for a shop, I would highly recommend this one.
What an awesome shop! Meticulously clean. Great vibe. Cat and Derek are awesome and so eager to share their knowledge with you. They are both so very patient and Derek tells you step by step what is going on. Def going back for more piercings!
Barebella was an excellent piercing experience! I took my 6 year old to get her ear pierced which she had been asking to do for months. When we got there the staff made sure that it was her desire to get her ears pierced and she was clear that there was an after care process, and only then we proceed. Stephen was the one who did the piercing and we was so amazingly patient and great with my daughter! She was a bit wiggly and nerviness but he worked though it and was so good with her. The most important thing to me was that the place was immaculately clean, and it was an extremely safe and good experience for my young daughter. I would recommend this place to anyone who truly wants a professional doing their piercing.
Just moved here from SC. Super fast and excellent customer service. Had a great time chatting with both of the associates there. Even got a recommendation of a few tattoo shops. Go see my man Derek! He was great
If I need some new holes, I come here. Or sometimes just to talk about holes. There is no lack of hole enthusiasm at this place. Clean, professional, informative.
Great !! Go see Cathy!
I came here to get a Tragus piercing on a whim. Two of my roommates had previously come here for their conch and cartilage and recommended me. I have five other piercings including a cartilage but it was my first time getting it done with a needle. Barbella is really clean and sterilized. Stephen knew how nervous I was and he kept conversation with me until I was calm and relaxed. He explained the process thoroughly and when he finally pierced my tragus, it was so quick and painless!Barbella is good with aftercare- they sell soaps and give you a bag of salt and instructions on how to care for your piercing. I felt no pain and It healed quickly. one month after I got it, I went back to get it changed with a new earring. I would highly recommend this place!Its a little bit on the pricier side but I think its worth the professionalism and cleanliness.
The customer service is amazing. The vibe is nothing but great. I went in for a Septum piercing(I was scared) but my piercer Dylan made me feel so comfortable. Quick and almost painless. Definitely will go back for future piercing and will recommend to all.
Just got my belly pierced yesterday and Stephen was awesome! love love love this piercing. didnt hurt at all made it so relaxingand quick as can bethey are sister companys with thc from where Im from so its awesome! love this company! so clean and nice. and great after care products too!
Ive gone here for several piercings (4 total) and have made this my go to place. Its a small spot with only one piercing area in the back, but theres lots of jewelry to look at while you wait. They also have some sweets to enjoy.They walk through the whole process leading up to the piercing. Afterwards, they hand you an aftercare package containing a pamphlet and salt and discuss how to take care if it.
They did a great job!That whole place is clean, staff friendly and helpful. They explain all about piercings and cleaningGreat with kids too!
Great prices on piercing. Most places wanted $80-100 for genital piercings. They had a two for one. Which was about $75. Clean place. Stephen was super cool and made things relaxing. I got two frenums and it didnt hurt as much as I expected. Felt like a pinch. He was very informative .This place and Stephen was so good. I took my wife to get her nipples pierced.
Surprisingly good prices.Bruce is an absolute doll!Very professional staff & quality jewelry.
Awesome place!! Got my nose and lip pierced today, and they were super kind and friendly. Everything was super sanitary and clean, would recommend 100%
Derek is a wonderful piercer who will give you the best experience possible. He is gentle and kind, and the shop itself has lovely jewelry of the highest quality. You can even special order jewelry in any design you can possible think of!
I had some jewelry upgraded, I was seen quickly and Im very happy with my new jewelery. They are always so nice and informative, the atmosphere is super chill and relaxing and their studio is always clean.
The most honest and professional service you can receive. Everyone here is top notch - I personally wont go anywhere else.
Stephen is very professional .... clean place. Sterile. Very welcoming
Love the attention to detail, makes you feel so safe. Super clean studio. Honestly the only place Id ever go or send a friend.
Steven is so knowledgeable and gentle. Prices are reasonable and selection is great!! Highly recommend this studio!
Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend, very professional and have all of the jewelry needed for any piercing. Even a hoop for a helix pericing!!! Awesome!
I highly, HIGHLY recommend Barbella!!! My boyfriend and I went there together while we were visiting SoCal. I got my tongue pierced and he got his labret pierced. The staff are EXTREMELY good at what they do. Im not ashamed to admit I was really nervous, and they made me feel right at home. They are very professional and made us feel comfortable and welcome. Both of our piercings were a breeze! They take the time before and after to explain everything and make sure that you know how to take proper care of your piercing as it heals. I LOVE my new tongue piercing and my boyfriend loves his new lip piercing--his first piercing ever! A+ for these guys!!! If we decide to get another piercing done, we will definitely make the trip even though its over 5 hours of traveling for us. Again, highly recommend!!!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff who are happy to help with any questions. Relaxed atmosphere as well.
Excellent! I was recommended this place from my friend after she had her nipples peirced. Great place. I had my nipples peirced on new years day and Im going back to have my belly button periced tomorrow. The guys are very nice, they make the experience very comfortable, they even play whatever music you like while you have it done. They were also very informative on cleansing, sizing, etc. They are my exclusive go-to pericing place for sure. Will always go back.
He treated me just like his own mom when piercing my nose💕
Steven did my belly button and tongue piercings 15 years ago. His store is awesome today. I still recommend him to all my friends
Got a double front helix piercing and barely felt it. Everything was sterile and he communicated through the whole process to reduce anxiety. Nice people too!
Very professional; clean, quick and easy. Wife got three piercings in her ear cartilage. Looks great. Highly recommend the studio.
Detailed, thorough, and highly personable. Love this place.
They really make you feel comfortable and at ease. Stephen did an awesome job. Will be coming back!!
Stephen is the best piercer ever. This place is cute, clean and they really walk you through the whole process.
Amazing, fast, and great funny people. Derrick and Tanner are amazing!!
Highly recommend them! ive had my belly button and daith done here! amazing jewelry and friendly/highly informed staff! i drove down here from temecula for my daith.
Best Piercing Studio around. Clean. Great staff. Huge selection of jewelry.
Ive gotten my ears and nipples pierced here, and they helped me switch out the jewelry for my microdermal when the original piercer wasnt able to free of charge.When I got my nipples pierced there was a small issue with my bar being too short (my fault) and it was also switched out for me for free. I dont think I could ever go anywhere else for my piercing needs, no other place has ever been as friendly or as professional as barbella. Incredible staff, even better piercings.
Professional, creative, and unique piercing studio, said from a repeat customer. Highly recommended!
Professional and informative staff. Clean and organized shop!
Great place for piercings and jewelry! Derek, Dylan and Stephen are all great and talented piercers and have always given me awesome service!
