Overall, a lovely experience. Zoe walked me through the different jewelry options. She was great.

Polite staff, lots of choices, great selection of jewelry. Sammy was very supportive in my choice making.

Everyone was super friendly and accommodating at Zebra! I came in for a septum piercing a little after they opened on a Friday and we waited about 15 minutes to see someone. It was a very efficient experience and would recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing! read more

The actual piercing was fast but be prepared to wait, maybe even in line outside the store, on a weekend afternoon. (Piercing is walk in only.) Roughly 45 minutes total wait on a Saturday. Multiple crying babies; would suggest having "baby friendly" hours so those who don't want to hear babies crying getting pierced, have an alternative. PS Minors need ID too, even with a parent present. read more

I took my son here to get his ears pierced for his high school senior pictures. Today's visit was smooth and easy. As soon as you walk up, you're greeted by a friendly staff member who gathers the reason for the visit. Once we walked in, we were greeted again by another friendly staff member who thoroughly explained the piercing process to us and the after care instructions. I would definitely return here. Great customer service and super clean environment. read more

This place is an absolute institution. I believe I got my third set of piercings here when I was in my teens as well as a tattoo in my 20s and today brought my daughter for her first ear piercing. It's really ideal if you're thinking about taking your kids someplace for a first piercing. Truly everyone is incredibly thoughtful. They cheered her on the whole way. Zebra has great jewelry to select from which was important to my little seven-year-old and as a mom, it was important that I know that it's safe. Tiara did our piercing, and she was also quite the cheerleader every step of the way. Five stars all around. read more

Tiara did an amazing job with my first ever piercing. I'm a pretty anxious person and have had issues with needles at the doctor's office in the past, but she made me completely comfortable the whole way through. She talked with me about my motivation for the piercing, explained exactly what she was doing at each step, and kept me relaxed start to finish. No issues at all, which I honestly wasn't expecting. The wait was shorter than they initially quoted, and everyone was patient and helpful while I took my time picking out jewelry. Couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Highly recommend Zebra, and ask for Tiara if you're nervous. read more

Teen daughter wanted thirds k. Both ears and a double helix. Came here because was hoping she could use her old piercing studs to save some $. Turns out we couldn't but it's ok. Amar was so gentle and patient and informative. I think her calm and nurturing demeanor helped prepare my daughter mentally, which is huge given the upper ear is a whole different experience from the lines. Don't ever go get your piercings at the mall again! Come to zebra! We will back for several more upper ear in a few months. read more

Zebra was quick, easy, and they made us feel so comfortable! The prices are also super reasonable, and the jewelry selection was great. Definitely recommend! read more

Drove all the way up to get mt baby's ears pierced. The front door is gated off and theres an attendant to direct you through the process. Once at the counter, there was a friendly staff to walk us through the selection process and check my baby's ears for suitability. She let us choose a jewelery and backing, and there were so many options. Shebalso answered all our questions before we were directed ti the register to pay. From there, we waited to be called up for the piercing. The wait is a bit long but is ubder 30 minutes. While waiting, I looked around and notice the shop is very clean and well organized. They have a price list on the wall and their piercings are decently priced. The piercing went well and thwy were so attentive and will definitely come back for future piercings ans def would recommend them. read more

Zebras was an amazing experience. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the way it wasn't too long. My daughter got her nose pierced, and her bellybutton pierced. What I love most was that the piercer came out and educated as before we even got started to let us know the news and Donts, and also how to take care of it and how they switch it out. You can tell they actually care here. read more

I decided spontaneously to get a helix piercing today! I did my Yelp research and saw that Zebra Piercing had a lot of great reviews. So I drove over to Zebra Piercing and the ladies in the front asked what I would like. I chose out the stud I wanted, signed a few paperwork, and showed ID. The lady (I wished I got her name) explained the healing process which was super helpful. I walked over to the register and paid. I waited about 10-15 mins before it was my turn to get pierced. My piercer, Amar, was very nice and explained what I should expecting in regard to pain. She mapped out a few suggestions on where to place the piercing. Not going to lie, it did hurt a bit. Lol Overall I had a great experience at this location. I'll definitely be back when I want more piercings. read more

I have taken my eldest daughter to get her ears pierced by Cicada and she did an amazing job! So much so that when my youngest teen daughter was ready, I was prepared to fly her from SoCal to NorCal just to get her ears pierced her. In top of that, my ears were badly pierced twice-- so much so that my earrings looked like they were falling off the edge of my ear. Cicada then took a look and masterfully pierced a hole that made it look amazing-- highly recommend! read more

Cicada was AMAZINGGGG she was so caring and was fast ... she made the whole experience worth it !!!! Will definitely be coming back

Came early so there was no line (note they open at 1130 not 10am). Our service was very quick but the process requires a little bit of extra time. We were in and out in about 30 mins. Easy parking in the morning too! We had gotten a piercing roughly six weeks ago. It is healing well. Today, we got our bars shortened (something you do after a month for $10/ear because bars are longer at time of piercing to allow for swelling), great experience our piercer was kind and patient and overall awesome. We also got a bottle of solution for free. Thanks Zebra! read more

I'm only coming to Zebra from now on. My daughter is 13 and there is no way I am bringing her to the mall to get her ears pierced!

Fabulous staff - very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful! Very cool place. There was only a few minute wait.

3rd Daughter to get her ears pierced in the last 18 years !!! They are sooooo patient with the kiddos my daughter was being so difficult and totally gave the piercer a horrible time. But Tiara Lewis was so patient and calm with the screaming and kicking 5 year old. My husband and I are grateful!!! read more

Second visit! Always Smooth experience and friendly staff! one star off is just for price. I don't know local prices but much more than our hometown in Pennsylvania. read more

I would give 5 million stars if I could! From the time I walked into Zebra on Telegraph, and was greeted by the most Beautiful and Sweetest, woman, Anaica, who explained all the information I needed to know about my nose piercing, the process, the pain factor and experience, which by the way was really not painful at all, as well as the pricing and about the type of piercing piece selection, to the actual piercing, my experience was amazing. Another Beautiful and sweet woman named Amar, performed my piercing. She explained each step from start to finish and was very gentle in doing the piercing. It took less than a couple of minutes. The time to explain, the care and professionalism is first class, these ladies were wonderful, i will be back again for more! If you are wanting a a body piercing, do not wait 20 years like I did, do it now and go see these wonderful ladies at Zebra on Telegraph in Berkeley CA! read more

Came by for their 50% off jewelry deal, helix came out to $60 (without tip) for labor and jewelry. Amar (I believe!) was my piercier, I think they had also done my navel piercing in the past and I love their vibes! So so sweet, informative, and patient even when there's a definite line of customers waiting to get pierced. Kudos to them for being the only piercer in house this day. Everyone else here was so chill and loved talking to them. Happily answered questions and concerns about one of my previous piercings. Helix itself was so quick and I loved the way it turned out for positioning and jewelry. Coming back for allll of my future piercings! read more

This place was very efficient and clean! Definitely going back for a daith and cartilage :)

My 9yo son got his ears pierced for the first time and the piercer was so good. He did everything by hand and talked my kid through everything. The staff members were also so nice and informative. It was a great experience! read more

Pretty much everything it all went according to plan. The staff are very helpful and clear.

I love Zebra! I had my daughter's ear lobes pierced (ages 4 and 7) and the one in Walnut Creek and it was an amazing experience. They didn't even cry. I came here when in Berkeley to pick up some antibacterial ointment and they were so friendly and helpful. Seems like both locations are wonderful! I highly recommend. read more

It's my third time coming and Amar helped me my third time with an eyebrow and she was WONDERFUL, my first and second was with Sicaida and she's the reason I came back!!! read more

I came in to get my conch pierced and Anaïca was very thorough and informative at the front desk; they made everything clear and concise in terms of after care and healing time. The shop has a great selection when it comes to jewelry; lots of different material and price ranges for everyone! My piercer was Amar and they were very quick and helpful in terms of piercing placement and making sure the jewelry I selected would be a good fit for my ear. I will definitely be coming back to get my future piercings here! read more

Been coming here since I was a teen and now my oldest daughter. The service just keeps getting better over the decades! Would highly recommend 10/10 read more

Got ears pierced for both my baby girls here (one a few months ago and another 2 years ago). The eldest was about 13 months old while the other was 7 months. I totally recommend getting the ears pierced when they are younger and easier to hold down. Regardless, after a bit of crying, they were fine (especially if there's a lollipop). It can be a little pricey but totally worth it. Both girls had no issues with their ears afterwards. I bought the aftercare and used it once or twice... but didn't really need it. The piercer definitely knows what he's doing and tries to be ninja and quick. There was a little bit of bleeding with the second kid but it was fine. I got flatbacks for both kids, but I sorta wish I went with the butterfly back for one. If you do flatback, a slightly longer flatback (forgot what it was called) will be used.. and that's to accommodate the possible swelling of the earlobe. You're supposed to come back about a one month later to switch out the flatback for a shorter length (that should be about $10 for labor). Oh yeah, they have a selection of earrings you can choose from that are cute. Both times we went for their piercings, we went on the weekends and in the late afternoon to early evening. The wait wasn't long. We did go again NYE and was surprised it was a long wait. Anyways, highly recommend this place for baby piercing. Stay clear of Claire's or any place that uses a gun. I think it's worth paying a little bit more for ears not to be infected and for it to be done right. read more

I've gone to Zebra for several piercings throughout my life, a long time customer. Now I got to share it with my baby daughter with getting her first ear piercings. The overall experience was great (besides my baby crying!). The staff were welcoming and friendly. I was able to pick out a beautiful pair of earrings with the assistance from Sammy at the desk. She also reviewed proper cleaning instructions. The piercer David, was very patient and gave clear instructions on how to assist in my baby's ear piercing experience. I love zebra and will be coming back if I ever need more piercings, thank you so much. read more
