Just yesterday I got my septum pierced by John, he was super friendly and helped me through the whole process which made me feel great especially since it was my first time getting pierced. The ladies up front were all super nice and accommodating. Not to mention the price was really reasonable for high quality jewelry and experienced piercing staff. If I ever want to get pierced again I would absolutely come here!

Harrison is amazing! He walks you through every step and makes sure you’re comfortable! And the receptionist Brenna was very friendly and informed! She answered all questions regarding jewelry and made sure the paper work process was quick. 10/10 would recommend :)

I got my septum pierced today by John. He was very professionaland explained everything clearly and thoroughly and did a beautiful job with my piercing even though I have a deviated septum. He was also very kind and patient. I have had piercings at quite a few places over the past decade. This was by far the most welcoming, kind and friendly. Everyone who worked there had a good attitude and acted like they were glad to have you there. It was very clean, and pricing was totally reasonable. I felt very confident going in to get pierced. I LOVE my piercing. So glad I chose this place. Even with a 2 hour wait due to a lot of walk-ins this weekend, it was worth every minute.

Getting pierced at Iris was a great experience. Brenna and Harrison were incredibly kind and welcoming. They had excellent jewelry suggestions and Harrison made my piercing clean/fast/nearly painless. I will absolutely be going back to swap out jewelry and more piercings. The musical choices, conversation, and general vibes were immaculate!

I absolutely adored this piercing studio. The staff was/is incredibly friendly, inviting, and overall a joy to be a around. Everyone that works here is informative, and only wants to ensure that you leave happy with the piercing and jewelry you pick out. I have gotten multiple piercings at different locations, and this was the best experience I’ve had thus far. Overall, they are worth the money and the quality of the jewelry is immaculate. You are getting what you pay for. 11/10 experience. I am from out of state and I can’t wait to come and get another piercing from them.

I walked into Iris being a little nervous on what to get with one of my friends. I’m not gonna lie it’s a bit overwhelming sometimes trying to get piercing. The front desk person, Aline, was so awesome! She not only helped me pick out jewelry for my piercings but for previous piercings so they matched, really happy I took their Rec for an asymmetrical look! I’m obsessed with the different tones of the gems we picked! The piercer, Jennie, was awesome as well and took their time with my piercings and made me feel suuuper safe! I totally get why Iris is the first name that comes up when you ask people about piercings! They are the only people I trust with my piercings from now on!

My experience with Iris was nothing but positive. The process of booking an appointment was super easy. Amanda was very helpful, especially when it came to picking out jewelry. She helped me find the perfect piece for me and I will be excited to go back to pick out more jewelry. John was my piercer and he made me feel extremely comfortable. The placement was great and I am incredibly happy with my results! Would recommend this shop to anyone.

Top notch customer service. Quality standards. Beautiful gold piece gallery!I arrived for my appointment 30min early and was greeted right away by Hannah who directed me on what to expect during covid protocol. She gave stellar advise and made me feel taken care of. John took time to guide me through my options & helped redirect me to pick the best ear piercings for these masking times. The piercings speak for themselves. Quality!

Pretentious and overpriced! Take your business to a place that displays some common courtesy and shows even the slightest appreciation of your patronage . I knew from the second the rude salesperson opened the door with an attitude of “Ugh, what do you want ?” Wish we left right then! And so incredibly overpriced I still cannot quite believe it. So many red flags about every aspect of our experience from intake (filled with lies and practically criminal process) to the piercing procedure to paying. I will regret going to this place and If I could give them no stars, I would.

I had heard about Iris piercing from my sister who had an ear piercing done by them years ago. We decided on a piercing and went to get one today, 8/24. We made appointments and when we arrived everyone was very nice, the shop itself is very clean, and the process of getting pierced was so easy. We were pierced by John and he was knowledgeable and easy going. The piercing process was very clean which was awesome to see. I will definitely go here for all my piercing wants. Thanks guys!

I had a really great experience getting my lobes pierced! I will say its hard not to want to buy everything since they had such amazing jewelry! I especially am grateful to John who did my piercings, as he was very gentle and patient. He also made sure the piercings were straight and even on both sides, which I really appreciated. Another really cool thing is they do custom orders with companies like Anatometal, and BVLA, which are two of my favorites. My visit to Iris really made my day complete and it was pretty great.😁

I have been coming to this shop for at least 5 years, and the shop assistants and piercers are always terribly rude, arrogant, contrary, impatient, and unwelcoming. I have had 4 ear piercings here and I brought both of my daughters here to get their ears pierced over the years, and I always have an issue.The worst experience I had happened when I came in because one of the holes in my ears had closed up and I wanted to get it re-pierced. I know it had healed, but the piercer insisted it wasn’t and he could just “open it back up”. Without any of the normal health & safety protocols or paperwork, he stuck a blunt gauge through my ear, ripping a hole in my lobe. It was horribly traumatic, (he used so much force it scared my daughter who was with me and made her cry out in fear) and afterwards I was left feeling concerned that it hadn’t been done in a sanitary manner and I may have been exposed to who knows what by this unprofessional piercer.Today I came in to have my little daughters earrings switched out to gold earrings and posts because she is having an allergic reaction to the titanium earrings she was pierced her with. The piercer told me this was “highly unlikely” because titanium is the least reactive metal with the skin. Any jeweler will tell you gold is the most inert metal you can wear. These guys don’t know what they’re talking about, and they don’t even sell gold posts and backs for that matter. They even insinuated I needed to take my daughter to the doctor because I didn’t know what I was talking about. The shop assistant was also on such a high horse about not coming in the moment I opened the door, before I had even set foot in the shop because we needed to sign waivers and “did we have an appointment?”. Yes, I had already signed the waivers for me and my daughter, and was just opening the door to say hello & check in for our appointment. All she had to do was politely ask me, not accost and chastise me.I don’t know why I kept coming back here after so many bad experiences. It’s not worth putting up with their attitude anymore. There are plenty of other wonderful jewelry stores in Boulder to do business with. I walked up the street and bought a pair of solid 14K gold earrings for my daughter at Hurdles where they know how to treat their customers and do business. Even though I live just a few blocks away I will never return to Iris.

John is simply an amazing piercer. He pierced my conch, and it was the experience of a lifetime. We picked out my amazing gold piece of the highest quality in materials, and just as he was about to pierce me... wild mountain zombie goats appeared... I cowered behind the table and yelled HELP ME JOHN!! John fearlessly jumped into action, he was taking them out one by one. Precision in every strike making it all look too easy amazing I whispered to myself still hiding behind the piercing table. After a short few minutes, John had taken care of the zombie goat problem, and I was safe again. Being an expert in cross contamination, and aseptic techniques, John quickly and efficiently cleaned the room making it safe to Pierce in again. It was so quick, and painless I didnt even notice he had pierced me. Ill always go back to John at Iris in Boulder... He takes care of his clients, and is soooo professional.But for real.. John is amazing. Ill always go back to him for my piercing needs.

Let me start by saying I’ve been to this shop several times over the last 5 years and I’m pretty disappointed with the experience I just had. I’m grateful they were so cautious with covid rules, but scheduling felt really rushed (only 15 minutes) and I bought a $70 nose ring that didn’t fit me. It’s currently guess work if you want replacement jewelry that fits. It wasn’t an awesome experience.Also I felt like the tellers were a little condescending. It’s a bummer because I was so excitement about it as I live on the western slope and made this part of my trip. Long story short- if you want a solid experience I’d wait until covid regulations are over.

Ive been to this studio twice now and have really enjoyed the professional experience they give you. This place is solely for piercing, so you wont have to worry about a tattoo artist giving you your piercing (I mean this piercer could have also been a great tattoo artist, but you wont get them here). They also make sure everything is sanitized in front of you and are nice during the actual piercing. The piercer was also helpful when I had questions about the healing process and other piercings that I might want.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! I have had 11 piercings previously at other shops and just recently had 4 done at Iris and wish I couldve had all my previous ones done here too! Mya at the front desk was awesome and super helpful. She patiently helped me choose the 4 pieces of jewelry I got which took me like 30 min to decide on because Im bad at making decisions. She also was very upfront and clear about all the prices of everything. Barron was the piercer and made suggestions to the spot on my ear which was perfect and Im so glad I went with his suggestions. They were both super friendly, professional, and very helpful but not pushy. Also the jewelry selection here is great from low cost basics to beautiful gold pieces. I cant wait for my ear to heal so I can come back for the other one!

Piercer would not look at the six photos I brought in to illustrate what I wanted. Spoke rudely over top of me, saying it didnt matter, because hes got his way of doing the piercing.As if theres any way in hell Im letting a man who interacts with me that way put a hole in my skin and get paid for it!

I went to IRIS to get a nose piercing. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Although pricey, it was worth the peace of mind of getting it done in a clean environment with professional piercers. The piercing seems to have healed incredibly fast in just two weeks. John was great and talked me through the entire process. I would definitely go here again.

I came to Colorado for a softball tournament and decided that I wanted to get my cartilage pierced, so I looked up the reviews and we stopped by around 2. It was such a fancy and clean environment and I was helped right away. The guy who did my piercing walked me through everything and helped me get through my anxieties. ID is required and some of the jewelry is expensive but that is because its real gold. I got a simple starter jewelry piece and I love it! Would come again if I lived in the area. Took maybe 40 minutes at most to get it done

Review №49

We live abroad and waited until our holiday visit to have our 7 year old daughters ears pierced at Iris. They were recommended by several friends and did not disappoint! Heads up - you will need to bring your childs birth certificate!! To ensure top sanitation, they only pierce with jewelry purchased from them, so no need to bring your own. The flat-back earrings they sold us are comfortable even to sleep in, and we appreciated the aftercare advice they offer. Tyler did our daughters piercing and was honest and kind with her, and very patient. Our daughter loves her new earrings and was happy to show them off to a little girl in the lobby as we were leaving. Iris contacted us several weeks later to check on us. Its been 8+ weeks since our experience and I am confident to leave a 5 star review and fully recommend Iris for your childs ear piercing.

Review №51

I had been looking for the best place to get my ears pierced for a bit of time. Having done research and previous experience of getting my ears pierced, I knew what I did and didn’t want. When I read that IRIS piercings uses a needle rather than a piercing gun, my attention was caught (Needles will be less painful and are far more safer because they are sterilized). Going there, you can tell that they want to make sure everything is clean. Once you select the earrings they will sterilize them, which they will show you the indicator that they are clean before removing them. Josh—piercer— was very down-to-earth and made sure each piercing was where I wanted on the lobe and adjusted as seen fit. It was nice being able to see where he planned on putting the piercing instead of just going for it like I’ve had in the past when I got my ears pierced. For the piercing process itself, I was told to do deep breathing and then my ear was pierced. In all honesty, I couldn’t even feel it. Afterwards I was told me how I should take care of the piercing. Interestingly enough from what I was told before when I had my ears pierced, you aren’t supposed to rotate the earring or touch all together. Only saline solution is to be applies two or three times a day. I cannot speak highly enough about IRIS piercing! The people there are all very welcoming and the experience was exceptional. If I ever want more piercings I would definitely come back.

Awesome all the way around - walked in, knew nothing about anything and the folks at the Boulder studio were so helpful! Answered all my questions and made me feel super comfortable. I they have a machine that sterilizes all the jewelry past a surgical level. Prices are super reasonable too. I believe my piercing fee was somewhere in the $30s for a Conch.

John pierced my cartilage a couple of weeks ago when I was visiting a friend in Boulder. It was on a whim, but they had availability for a walk-in. The selection of body jewelry is beautiful and high quality. The piercing studio was very clean and John used great care while cleaning, handling jewelry, and while piercing. I am very pleased with my new addition and will definitely consider another new piercing from Iris when I’m in Boulder next.The post-piercing email check in is a really great, thoughtful touch.

Review №55

I had wanted multiple ear-piercings for several years but hadn’t found a location that didn’t make me nervous... until I walked into IRIS. While their jewelry is beautiful, it was their attention to the details of the actual piercings that put me at ease.A friend and I went in on a Sunday afternoon and while the shop was busy, we were warmly greeted and asked the reason for our visit. Earrings were considered, suggestions and recommendations made - especially about what could and couldn’t be done. The piercings I originally wanted were deemed inadvisable - simply put, it wasn’t going to work for my ears.After picking out earrings and discussing what I wanted, it was time to consult John. He immediately explained that re-opening “old piercings” can be easy. Or not. So that possible “trauma” to my ear had to be considered. Based on my answers to questions about pain levels, past surgeries and other factors, he was willing to do three of the four piercings I was requesting, but that was it. He was persuasive in explaining the reasons why he was right in limiting the piercings - even though it would have meant additional earring and piercing costs.As for the piercing itself - John made it almost painless. In a lovely calm manner that was relaxing and reassuring, he chatted, answered questions and let me know what to expect at each moment. Even the “last deep breath” before the actual piercing was calmly, gently done... to the point that the pain was quick, and it dissipated quickly.After three piercings in my upper ear lobe, and a piercing for my friend, he carefully explained every aspect of after-care from keeping it clean with saline spray and while showering, how to protect the ear while sleeping, and what to do in the weeks and months after. Since I live in Texas, I also appreciated his finding a local business to tighten the piercings when the time comes. Though honestly, given the service John provided at IRIS, I’d be very happy to fly back to Boulder.

I had a great experience at IRIS when I got my conch piercing done in my left ear. I had done some research before going out for an impromptu piercing and saw great reviews for IRIS. My sister and I were both walk-ins on a Sunday afternoon and there were only a couple other folks in the shop. We both were getting piercings (she got her second earlobe piercings done). Maddie was very nice and knowledgeable when it came to all my questions about getting a conch piercing. Bambi did the piercings, and he made us feel very comfortable and confident about the whole process! My sister and I both got our piercings done fairly quickly, even with 1 or 2 people ahead of us. The shop is gorgeous and clean. Everyone who worked there was very patient and explained every step of the process clearly. I havent experienced a single issue with the piercing, and its been 2 weeks (only soreness which is to be expected). Im not entirely sure about the best deals when it comes to piercings, but I thought the entire experience, including the shop, the team, and easy piercing process was definitely worth it!! Anytime I want another piercing I will definitely be going back to IRIS!

IRIS has kind, upbeat and welcoming staff with a clear expertise in what they are doing! I had a wonderful experience there and came out knowing way more about my septum piercing than I ever expected. Josh provided me with lots of education about what to look for during the healing process and general information about septum piercings, which was really helpful for me. He pierced my nose quickly and with good humor which I really appreciated :) He really knows how to help people relax and have fun with the process. Thank you to Josh and all the wonderful people at IRIS! You all are great! Go to IRIS for your piercings!

Paying an hour min for parking ($1.25) is outrageous, but thats on the city of boulder. They are currently appointment only, which I understand; however, they had two people just standing around that could easily tell me what type of jewelry I needed for my vertical hood piercing so I could purchase jewelry there but said they couldnt, even though no one was busy. Wont be coming back.

Review №63

The best experiences with piercing Ive ever had. With extremely high end jewelry, its a jewelry shop that fits you with the pieces you buy, essentially. But they know best practices, they know physiology, they know after care. And everything is surgical steel and precious metals, so my nickel allergy is a non-concern.You can get glass spacers here as well, which was helpful when I had to undergo major surgery. Its amazing that I can walk in, pick something out or bring in jewelry Ive bought before, and theyll switch things right out for me. Great service, great care, great jewelry.

John was the person that pierced my nose. I dont remember the other girls name but she was really friendly and knowledgeable. She explained the whole process and helped me pick out a stud. John did the piercing and he took the time to talk like we were friends that havent seen each other in awhile. He explained what was going to happen and made me feel really comfortable and relaxed. The room was clean and comfortable too. Before you know it my nose was pierced and it was done!! I followed their directions and everything healed great. They even found several places near where I live (Im out of state) for the 1 month follow-up. Their store is simply amazing. High quality artisan jewelry. The entire experience couldt be better. If you are considering a piercing, please come and visit IRIS. You wont regret it and youll wonder what took you so long!!!

Review №74

We had a great experience at Iris when my 10 year old went to get her ears pierced. Research indicated that a real piercing studio was the best place to get ear piercing done, as they are highly trained and very sanitary and there is no blunt trauma, such as one suffers with a ear piercing gun (which are also difficult to clean properly). They were great with my daughter, explaining every step and making sure they had her explicit and written permission to perform the piercing. She was taken to a private space where she could lie down for the piercing and I could be with her. She was told to breathe and relax and there were no surprises. The healing has gone very well- it stopped hurting within the day and has shown no sign of infection. We were given clear instructions on how to care for her ears, which was very simple and not like the old days- no turning or peroxide! She could easily sleep on them that night. I would recommend Iris in Boulder for kid ear piercing!

Iris Boulder is an absolute dream come true...it is a beautiful jewelry store where you can choose gorgeous jewelry in a wide variety of prices where you can then get pierced and start enjoying your selection.

Clean, beautiful, professional and an all around great experience. Everyone was helpful, took their time, everything was explained openly and honestly and we were treated like their only customers.

Knowledgeable, hygienic, elegant...what more could you ask for from a piercing studio? They guided me through the Q&A phase ahead of the appointment (so I could ask all my dumb questions - Will it hurt? Yes. How do I take care of it? Saline. When can I switch out the starter post for a ring? When it heals.) Kenny was matter-of-fact (translate: not super chatty!) and I took a friend with me to hold my adult hand. (Thanks, Mali!) Would I go back? Yes, if I ever wanted to pierce anything again.

I went to Iris after getting a nostril piercing elsewhere that never healed properly. They took a look and told me my best bet was to remove it and let it heal. I came back a few months later to get it redone and decided on my septum and it was done perfectly. The care they had in dealing with a piercing they didn’t even do was enough for me to come back for another which was a wonderful experience as well. Can’t recommend them enough.

Everybody was incredibly helpful and AMAZING! I was thinking about getting my nose pierced, and was hoping to find a trustworthy place. After several reviews and places, I landed on this one. The staff members were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. They did their best to help me feel as comfortable as possible. They gave great after-care instructions. After about three weeks, my nose ring got stuck on my sweater and pulled off - I walked in and they were incredibly helpful and made sure everything went well. They sterilized EVERYTHING and made sure it was very clean. I would recommend this place to anybody interested in a piercing. For those under the age of 18 they ensure you have a birth certificate and your legal guardian/parent with you. A couple of people tried to get in, and were denied because of the age and lack of birth certificate.

Each time I have come here I have been treated with nothing but professionalism and kindness. Both my piercings were virtually painless and are even— a mark of truly good and skilled work. I will not get a piercing anywhere else, ever.

I agree with everyone that it is high end and clean. I decided not to get pierced after the 4 piercings and stud jewelry would of come to over $900. I do not mind paying more for quality; however, I felt this was too expensive for the product and services received...$300-$400 at most could be doable understanding they are renting on pearl street yet with almost a 400% mark up I will be finding another solution.

I felt so comfortable during the whole experience of having my nose pierced. John and the wonderful woman there on the day answered all of my questions with in depth detail. I felt their patience and care and holding a really high standard of customer service. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here for their piercings!

This place is great. I went there for a piercing myself and was so impressed that I took my daughter there to get her nose pierced. They are clean, professional and friendly. Best piercing place in Boulder, no question.

Hello,I got my gorgeous forward helix pierced in July with Iris. My sister has been getting her body jewels there for about 3 or 4 years. So she was really excited to bring me over when I came to visit Colorado.The way we were greeted and treated at the store was incredible. The vibes were good, there was obvious care for health and hygiene, but what was most important and noticeable was that Iris truly cares about what YOU want as a customer. They give time for discussion of what youre really looking for, they let you browse jewellery, test out what things may look like. Honestly I didnt even have the chance to get nervous or anxious. So laid back but also so professional.Not to mention how beautiful their jewellery collection is. I got a genuine rose gold feather in my forward helix that I am so in love with, it was exactly what I wanted. I would say there are items on the pricy side, but there are options that arent too upscale. But honestly the cost of piercing and jewellery matches they high quality service thats being offered.Amazing! I hope I get a chance to visit again and get a new one!

Such a great place!!! I felt 100% at ease the whole time. I went in to get my nose pierced again after years of missing the one I had to let close up due to a job. This piercing has healed better than any Ive ever gotten. I highly recommend Iris!

Great team, super supportive. My 5 year old wanted her ears pierced so we did our research and this looked like the best place. She changed her mind 3 times and the Bobby was incredibly patient and we left, but she wanted to come back. He was informative and very helpful and even followed up a few weeks later. Thanks for making my daughters experience positive!

I went in for my eighth piercing and had an awesome experience. It was clean, efficient, clean, comfortable, and clean. I think I repeated myself a few times, but they are incredible about maintaining a sterile environment. Much appreciated. I dont want anything nasty around a new piercing.My experience was excellent, but I was more impressed by the experience of a customer in front of me. She was a young girl, maybe ten years old, who was getting her first ear piercing. She was very clearly terrified, but Bobby was amazing with her. He allowed her to take her time, get comfortable, and encourage her to make the decision for herself. Eventually she went through with it and looked well proud of herself when she walked out.I bring this up because its indicative of what the studio is like: professional, supportive, and, above all, friendly. I would 100% get pierced there again. Cheers!

Stopped in here for the first time. I was looking for a replacement nose ring and this happened to be the first place of a couple dozen (over the last couple years) to actually have what I was looking for. Ended up scooping some amazing wood inlay plugs as well. The two folks working were incredibly helpful and pleasant. I highly recommend checking out IRIS.

Friendly, clean, and professional; this was only my second ever piercing, but I felt very well cared for and would certainly go back. The healing process has been easy, and just as described. They also have a well-curated selection of jewelry--something for every taste.

Recommended by a friend when getting our 10 year old daughters ears pierced. Did some research as I had never gone to an actual piercing place before. Such a great experience we were back a few months later to get our other daughter’s ears pierced as well.

My daughter went to IRIS to get her very first ear piercing and it went very smoothly. They locate the piercing depending on the type of ear lobe you have. Also, they made it a great experience. Overall, they did a terrific job and I would recommend IRIS for anyone looking to get a piercing, they also have a great selection of earrings as well!

They keep it very clean and run a tight ship. Piercers with professionalism. Gorgeous jewelry, with a wide variety of prices so you dont have to sell your liver to get a solid, attractive piece. I really see no reason to go elsewhere for my piercing needs.

Friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and professional. I got my nose pierced four months ago and I’m happy I made the choice. They’re clean and helpful. We talked for a long time about placement and they listened to me and offered really helpful perspectives which I appreciated! Definitely would recommend!
