This was once my go to place... it's gone down hill, way down hill. They don't carry anything quality like they used to. Also they don't have hardly any sizes that fit and go together. Limited quantities and limited choices for such a big store it's now full of super cheesy stuff. Maybe they just got a horrible buyer. I won't be going back to the run down HB area of Main Street for any kind of shopping again. Truly disappointing! read more

Diane's Beachwear - Swimwear Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

See all

This store has been here for over 30 years! And there's good reason, they are knowledgeable, helpful, and most important. Their swimsuits are made extremely well. They have some thing for everybody type and personality, my dimensions are very hard to fit and I had options. I actually had a hard time picking which suit I wanted. Because the shoes are so well-made they last much longer than what you'd get from big bucks stores. Which makes it a good value for the price. You just have to make sure that you take care of your suit gently. read more

Cute Store! Great if you need an outfit or bikini for the beach too! Very good customer service every time I go in! Will definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Overpriced beachwear and unfriendly owner. Literally couldn't be ruder. Will not be back.

Horrible customer service so rude and not welcoming from the older lady the younger girls are usually nice

My friend and I came here in hopes of finding some new bikinis.. we've been here many times before they closed for a bit and always had a great time checking out the different bikini brands. However, this visit was HORRIBLE. We both left with such an ick. The employees are so overbearing, especially the older blonde woman. We felt like they were on top of us the entire time we were there. And then we tried on a couple bikinis.. my friend wanted to see mine so I opened the curtain a bit to show her.. and one of the employees said how's it going?! I said oh nothing special to see really.. the employee then proceeded to say I'm going to peak anyway. LIKE WHAT?! Definitely was not an invitation for you to come and look. Will stick to online shopping and won't be recommending this store to anyone anymore read more

Love the HB store I had the pleasure of meeting the owner " Diane " she was so sweet and helpful and 40% off so excited for that ! I will for sure go back for more cute suits thanks Diane For letting me bring my fur baby "coco" In the store read more

Diane's Beachwear - Swimwear Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

The young lady who helped me today was so sweet. I should've got her name and gave her a shout out. She started a room for me, checked up on me, and took care of my checkout. I was so stoked to see that they carry Frankie's here! Not only that, but they had stuff of sale too. Lucky me, I saw exactly what I wanted in the sale rack and it was half off. I will for sure be coming back anytime I am by Huntington Beach. I absolutely love the large selection this store has just in general. The customer service rocks too! Pleased with my experience here today. If you're looking for a bikini this is the spot.. read more

Drove there at 6pm Even though, the website says closes at 7pm... the blonde lady in the store just looked at us and locked the doors in front of us and did not even say one thing read more

I hadn't been to Diane's in a couple years and realized how much they've been missed. It was time for a bathing suit fitting and knew where I needed to go. I was greeted by Caroline and this is her expertise. She made sure to find the appropriate sizes for me in the styles I liked. They have a large selection and variety of sizes for ALL. Everything I needed for my Palm Springs weekend all in one place. I also added a fun poolside cover-up and beach hat to my ensemble. I had the pleasure of meeting Diane who recommended the new cover up print just in! I walked out with exactly what I wanted for my Palm Springs weekend and want to thank you ladies for making my shopping trip easy and fun! See you soon! Tricia H. Costa Mesa, Ca read more

Place has nice stuff... But the lady was checking me Like she didn't trust me walking around Very weird,,, When I got home I remember that befor I came in the store I had just finished a conversation with my sister from israel on the phone wich is the Hebrew language, The minutes I walked in she asked how can I help u Alsow she asked TWICE if I'm From The aria or visiting, I answerd that question when I walked in just to be nice and friendly, but why did she ask that again when I paid? Is that a requirement to be from the aria? I live in laguna beach but came here for the day, I do have dark skin and curly hair I am half Jewish Israeli half Ethiopian , the lady's were very weird and were acting as if I did something Rong , I will never support this store, I told my (American) husband about this and he is furious! He said he wil never support a racist store read more

The women that work at Diane's are amazing! I was dreading bikini shopping and they made the experience so great! I havnt shopped for a bikini in years, but I went here because I knew they had a big selection. The women that work there are experts. I told them what I was looking for, what my concerns were, looks I like and they really took the time to guide me and find a great bikini. They pulled a few different fits they thought would look good with my body type and I found a bikini I loved. They know what they are doing there! read more

I love Diane's. Been going there for years. However, I did not appreciate the service or time there yesterday, and I'm only writing this review here because the manager refused to listen in person. I've been trying all through the pandemic to get updates about when the store would open or what to do about unspent gift cards. I noticed it was open yesterday so I went in and asked an employee about the gift card. She said that unfortunately they aren't accepting gift cards anymore since the store changed its name from Diane's Beachwear to Diane's Bikinis and they can't confirm dollar amount. That's already odd, but I understand pandemic struggles. The girl goes on to say that she will honor the gift cards anyways, I just have to spend more than $135 (thats how much I had on my gift cards). So we spend about 1.5 hours looking through everything, trying stuff on, and deciding what to get. We finally get to the counter to check out and a different employee says they can't honor the gift cards. She calls the manager over and we explain what the first employee said. The manager goes over to the first employee and they're talking quietly amongst themselves. The manager says they can't honor the gift cards but she can do a bigger discount on top of the already 40% discount (40% off storewide). We kind of go back and forth deciding if we want to do that because we only walked in here to use the gift cards that we were told we could use. Plus, we already spent so much time and didn't want to leave empty-handed. So we check out and I ask for my gift cards back and they refuse to return them! I tried to explain that many companies went out of business during the pandemic and customers were still able to be reimbursed for gift cards through alternative ways and thats why I wanted them back, but she refused to return them and wouldn't even let me finish talking. I don't even think it is legal for her to do that considering those are equivalent to cash and she kept them! So not only did she make profit on the $135 in gift cards when they were sold and not used, she made profit on that day's purchase because all of her staff are misinformed apparently. She DOUBLE-DIPPED on a customer and that is WRONG. I can't be the only gift card to walk through that door, so idk if this is their new tactic or what but I felt scammed from start to finish. Had they told me from the beginning that the cards were no good, I would have immediately walked out. Get your staff on the same page so this doesn't happen again. read more

Bought a few bathing suits here, was happy with my two pieces a few yrs ago, came back for a couple different one, got a red one piece and was lovely, except this one bottom piece that I paid over a $100 (just the bottom not top) is faded after a few time used, very disappointed. I would expect it to last at least a year since It costs so much. Three stars bc the employees there nice and helpful and I'm happy with the red one piece I got. read more

Love this place. There is truly something fir everyone. The staff is helpful and the location is super convenient. I bought much more than I thought I would and I'm very pleased with my purchases. Even though it's labeled as a swimwear place the have jeans, dresses, cute tops, pajamas, hats, etc. There is even a seating area to put your guy in while you shop in peace read more

Was treated horribly by the workers there. Returned a bikini and was given a gift card with $0 on it. When trying to use it, they said someone must of used it and it's not their problem. They didn't listen or try to help which is really sad because I wasted $120 on a company who doesn't care about their customers. I was called names and said I didn't know what I was talking about because I'm 20 years old. I ended up having to file a statement with my bank. read more

Love this place. I'm a huge fan of shopping but normally go to big box stores because it's easier for me to find something that I love with a wider selection. Diane's has wonderful buyers, I can always find something I love and in the right size. read more

Super cute bikini store and more. There literally were hundreds of bikinis, all of which were very cute. And they also had cute clothes! Kind of expensive but they also had like the other half of the store on sale and I managed to literally see a wall full of endless cute bikinis prolly like half off. I walked out with a super cute tiger printed Volcom bikini all for about $45 half of the original price for sure. Super stoked. Coming back. read more

Not customer friendly shop. I'm from Switzerland and on vacation in California. I bought a bikini in the evening the light was bad, so aI saw not the color as it is st daytime. Next day I went to the shop early in the morning to get them back. (bikini not wear) there where no sign to inform the customer. No money back only to change or a voucher!! I mentioned I'm from Switzerland with no possibilities to come over very quickly. Never ever shop within this store! read more

I absolutely fell in love with all their bathing suits. They have some of the most popular & gorgeous bathing suits I've seen. They have so many styles that every time I come im in there for two hours minimum. Today, I was helped by Missy? (Melissa I believe) she has the best customer service I have ever encountered! This lady was attentive, patient, and helpful since the moment I walked in. She literally had a smile on her face the whole time I was there and her vibrant personality really shined! This lady made me want to come back again. The only reason it's not 5 stars is they have a no return policy and they are on the pricey side, but other than that love this shop. read more

I love this place, been to a few Diane's in So Cal but the selection here is really great and the sales people are awesome. I like when they bring me stuff I wouldn't normally pick out 75% of the time they Nail it. I always appreciate the extra effort. If I were the owner knowing what I know every time I go in I would be pleased with my staff selection. Mostly though, the Bikini Selection kicks ass!!! read more

I grew up in HB but never stepped foot into Diane's because I thought they were so expensive. I decided to venture in tonight because I thought there would be some good sale items during the winter - first, the sales associates were awesome!! Both were honest and funny and super helpful without being pushy to buy. I appreciated that they understood my hesitations about price and still wanted to help me find something that I felt great in. They were super encouraging and really helped me find something that I feel amazing in! I ended up buying two suits off the sale rack. They have several brands that are lower price points (under $100) so there's something for all budgets and they'll last way longer than the cheap ones from Target. These ladies made a huge difference in my experience! read more

Savannah is fantastic. I love Dianes and constantly come in here and try stuff on. This time she found me a fantastic suit that I never would have considered trying on. Once on I was in love. She is fantastic and if you go here ask for her. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. I have shopped here many times before when we have vacationed here and have never had an issue before. However today I went in there with my adult friends and our kids and had the worst experience I have ever had at any establishment in my entire life. I am a very professional person who have well behaved kids, however they are kids. Two of my children were sitting on each other laps in their chairs that are meant to sit on. They were laughing and enjoying themselves but at a moderate decibel otherwise I would have stepped in and addressed it. I watched as an older employee came up with a very sour look on her face who then proceeded to say to my children 'you need to act more adult in here' in a very disrespectful tone and absolutely crushed their little spirits. I heard her say this and verified with my kids. I proceeded to exit with my friends and family as she watched and smirked at me. I will in all honesty admit that I lowered myself to her level and called her a name after an 80s cartoon character as I left in the utmost rage. I will NEVER give them my money and will happily spend loads more at any other place than there. And I urge you to as well. Use or discard as you wish. read more

This place has such gorgeous designs. Whenever I visit Huntington Beach, I make sure to stop and browse the selection at Diane's Beachwear. The only negative aspect of this store is that the prices are on the higher side. Every item that I picked up was priced at the minimum $70. I haven't ever purchased anything from this store, despite wanting to several times. My sister bought a dress there that was so fresh and flowey. We got the summer dress during the summer and got a respectable discount on the dress. It costed about $25. If you are going to shop here and are on a budget, go straight for the clearance sections. It's much for affordable if you come on the right day. I overhead a women say, "This is the only section that I can afford here." I couldn't help but chuckle because of how true it was! Regardless, Diane's Beachwear is a must stop when shopping in Huntington Beach. The employees are all so very friendly and honest. As I was trying on a product and debating whether I should buy it, an employee said, "That look great on you, but it's going to be so difficult to wash." I was already on the fence about the product, but her honest remark helped me decide whether I wanted to buy it or not. The employee that helped also offered the same kind of friendliness and honesty. It's great to see such wonderful customer service. read more

No refunds even if u bought the suit less than ten minutes ago. Over priced! Will NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN. They lost a long time customer!

I've been frequenting here for years and love their selection. Bonnie and Beth were so kind and helpful while helping me find exactly what I was looking for! read more

My review is long overdue. I'm definitely no super model.. I'm 5'2 180 pounds and I'm very skittish when it comes to showing off my body. Coming into the store I didn't expect much but my boyfriend insisted on coming in to find some swimwear for our upcoming vacay. As we walked in I was a little intimidated by all the variety of swimwear that didn't seem to be right for a girl with my body size... BUT the staff was so welcoming & made me feel so at ease. Beth was the first person to assist me & she heard everything I wanted & with no hesitation started picking out items that would work for what I was looking for ... flattering and stylish wear. In a matter of minutes I was set up with a dressing room and I was literally "pretty women" by all the staff. All the staff was eager to jump in to help me find exactly what I was looking for.. and they even pulled up a chair for my bf to get cozy as I was trying on stuff. They also took in his request on looks he was looking for, for me. I was extremely lucky to have walked in and received all the help from all the ladies of the store I can't thank you enough! Not only did I come out with beautiful swimwear but I also came up with body confidence. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

Diane's Beachwear - Brown swimsuit I bought .. fit like a glove - Swimwear Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I visited with my husband because I needed a new swimsuit and cover up for my upcoming trip to Maui. Immediately I was greeted and into a changing room with up to four people helping me to find the perfect swimsuit. Great customer service here. It's pricey but worth it! read more

I came in and saw they had some really cute suits. Pulled a few off the rack and went into the dressing room. Salesgirl: "How are those working for you?" Me: "Can I try this one (hangs suit over door) in an XL instead of a L?" Salesgirl: "Sure." (Tries on second set) Salesgirl: "How are those working for you?" Me: "This is still not big enough, can you suggest something that maybe runs bigger?" Salesbitch: "Oh, we don't carry big girl bathing suits." I got out of there as quickly as possible. ***Ladies if you have had this problem try http://www.yelp.com/biz/strings-by-judith-orange They have big girl suits!*** read more

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I called them two weeks ago and explained to them that I am going out of the country in two weeks and wanted to make sure if I ordered a suit that day it would arrive in time, the girl on the phone assured me they had my suit in stock and it would definitely arrive in time. I then spoke with a manager who confirmed this so I placed the order. Now two days before my trip and no suit I called them to hear "no, it's pending, it hasn't shipped" WTF?!?! There are several other sites that carry that brand and they completely screwed me. Thank god for my unbelievably big mouth which will make sure that I get the word out to as many people as I possibly can to NEVER shop this sh*t excuse of a store. Go F yourself Diane's! That's all. Good day. read more

This place is HUGE and the has the biggest selection of swimsuits and plenty of clothes and shoes to choose from. So why the only 2 stars? I come here often to browse, but I have never bought one thing from here! It's almost too overwhelming, I don't know where to begin. Everytime I come in here I think I'm going to find the ONE, but right when I walk in, I feel like I'm being groped by bikinis and hangers as they crawl up all over the 15 foot ceilings. I can't find a decent path to the back of the store without having to dodge beach bags, hop over sandals, and make sharp cutbacks toward my destination. But then again,perhaps its hard for me to fork out over $100 on a bikini. I'm not that cheap, but heck, that $100 isn't going to make me look any skinnier! Check out the sales at Macy's or Bloomingdales. I especially like Target cause I can get 2-3 bikinis for the price of one at Diane's. read more

Normally, I love shopping here for all of my swim suits. Today however, the employees just weren't doing their job. I was shopping around and one of the girls asked if she can start a room for me. I said thank you and proceeded to try on some suits. I had more than what was allowed in the dressing room so she held the bikini bottoms to the one that I really liked but, I was willing to try on the others to get them out of the way first. I liked one of the tops but they went with the bottoms that she was holding for me. So I asked the girl who was working(which was different than the first girl) for them and she looked confused and told me there was nothing there for me?? A few minutes later she comes back and tells me another girl was trying them on but gave a similar pair to try on. UM. No thanks?? I want to know why someone else is wearing something that was set aside for me? So at this point I'm standing in the dressing room while the girl across the way is wearing them and NO ONE is explaining to me if someone gave them to her or if she took them herself? What's the point of setting things aside if you're going to give them away to others or allow customers to access it. Either way, there was no apology or anything. The customer service here was really crappy today and they handled the situation pretty poorly. Every time I come here there is always new staff anyways, so hopefully the next cycle of girls actually learn to do their job. read more

Diane's Beachwear - So I took my business across the street instead - Swimwear Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I heard that Diane's had great tops so I came in to try one. I had lost track of time and so I had to leave to meet my mom for dinner before I could make the purchase. They were mean about holding it, and so I didn't end up buying it. I returned this week because I live really close, and the staff was so negative to me. They were using bikini bottoms as sling shots at each other instead of addressing my needs. I was very disappointed with most of the staff, and my friend even commented about their behavior. This was my first time buying a bikini from this store, and I will not be back read more

I was a huge fan of Diane's for years, and when I was downtown with my mother the other day and we went into the store.... What a disappointment!!!! The music was so loud I could barely think. Then the second I picked something up someone appeared at my side to ask if i wanted to start up a room. Seriously i hadn't even looked at the piece enough to decide if i actually wanted to try it on. It did not read as helpful, but totally overbearing. My biggest concern was that the store looks like it has half of the stock I have ever seen there before. Is it going out of business? under new management? have they just gotten lazy??? Overtime i feel like this place has gone downhill and they have finally hit mediocrity. After the experience i wrote to their customer service explaining my concern for their decline in service to absolutely no response.... I will definitely not be going out of my way to go back. read more

Be very careful about this place. They do not accept any returns even with the receipt and with the tags still on. They will only give store credit and even then you have to keep the original receipt and bring it back to spend it. They keep no records. Furthermore, the customer service leaves something to be desired. Upon entering, there was a snarl when it was indicated that there was a return. The staff member offered absolutely no apology or explanation regarding the policy other than "we are a swimsuit store." I have no idea what that means on an item never worn, with original tags on etc? I could see if the tags were off etc, but this left me flabbergasted. read more

I always thought Dianes kinda sucked. I am super picky and super obsessed with bathing suits and to me their buyer was just off with suits. Never found anything I really loved, and I will spend a pretty penny... However, on a once every 5 year trip to main street, a lil drunk, I pop my head in cuz there's a sales rack, over priced shimy bikinis, so I wander over to some of the beachy clothing, um JACKPOT! Floral mini dress and white shorts romper $40 with tax. There was sooooo much cheap cute and chic beachy girl stuff for summer, I could have gone NUTS! Will be going back, quality and fit were actually really good too! read more

I have been shopping here for 13 years every summer. And recently made an online purchase and I have never called a customer service number and had the rep answer the phone and say "Hi Danyell, how can I help you?" The fact that this company goes the extra mile to be so personable speaks volumes to me. And one more reason why I will continue to shop with them. Not to mention that every summer when I buy a suite from Diane's and wear it in Texas. All my girlfriends always complement. They will always get my business. THANK YOU DIANE'S FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE! Y'ALL ARE AWESOME. read more

Yes, this place IS both enormous and expensive. But honestly, they stock the best-quality bathing suits around. All of them are made of high-quality fabrics, lined properly, and if you follow the care instructions they last for years without fading or falling apart (seriously, my favorite bikini is from Diane's and it's 8 years old). If you dig deep you can find some really great original prints, and if you're the type of person who lives in a bathing suit or wants your suits to last you a lifetime, Diane's is totally the place to go. read more
