    Galentine!
    Sarah S.

    Perfect outing activity with friends, family or partner. We did this for galentine this year and it was a very fun experience. The front desk lady was helpful and patient with us. We had a group of 8 girls. Everyone pick different items to decorate. The charms were very cute and they definitely have variety of them to fit whatever style you're going for. The tutorial was easy to follow even if u don't have any experience you can create a masterpiece. Definitely a cute date night idea. Come check them out.

    I had SO much fun at Pinku! I've always wanted to try Decoden and this is a fun, no-stress way to experience it. It's a bit pricy as we paid over $100 for two, but it's such a fun bonding DIY experience and you get a really unique souvenir out of it so I think it's worth it! I made a heart jewelry case as it looked the most fun to decorate, and my husband picked a glasses case. The project that you pick determines the price, how many colors of piping you're able to pick, and how many big charms you can grab. There is also a whole table dedicated to free charms that you can grab an unlimited number of. Doing the Decoden is surprisingly easy if you're not too caught up on perfection, and I'm really happy with how mine turned out and I thought my husband's was so cute as well. The 2 hours you're given to decorate is plenty of time. The finished products are packaged up nicely in little cake boxes. It's such a fun date idea or fun activity to do with your friends. Highly recommend and I thought this would be a one-and-done for me but I would not mind going back and making another project in the future.

    Pinku offers an absolutely unique and adorable experience. This was my second time doing this activity with my daughter and it's one we'll definitely do again. We were lucky to get a same day appointment, a couple years ago it was booked out over a month. You select an item that you want to decorate, choose two colors of the "fondant" and start picking your charms. They have the most adorable selection and with a little creativity you can make some really cute designs. My daughter and I spent about 90 minutes designing our item and they turned out great. Looks good enough to eat . It's not the cheapest activity but it's such a nice experience and good quality time that doesn't involve eating or shopping which 9/10 a teenager chooses as their preferred activity. The staff is friendly and helpful and will give you tutorials on how to lay down the fondant like an actual cake. Super cute, girly experience, give it a try!!

    Came here with my girlies for galentines day and everyone had a blast. Don't forget to follow their IG and tag them on your story to receive $5 off. [Service 5/5]: Came here with a group of 8 and they were able to accommodate us all on one table. Everyone was so friendly and didn't make us feel rushed. I like how they gave us all a practice paper to practice piping. It was a lot harder than it looked, but with all the charms, it was hard to notice the imperfections. I also loved how they give everyone a free token to win a prize in the claw machine. I won a cute butterfly keychain with a $5 off coupon for next time. [Selection 5/5]: I love how many different types of charms there were. And they also had a table of unlimited smaller charms too. [Value 3/5]: In terms of value, I feel like they could do a better job with pricing the smaller hair clips or picture frames more relative to their size. However, overall I would definitely come back and would recommend to others.

    Sooo cute

    Had another great experience and fun time here. Made reservation to come in on a Sunday afternoon, the parking lot was open so parking was free but the lot does get crowded. Customer service was perfect! The associates teach you how to use the pipe glue. We wanted to decorate the large picture frame ($50), which we got to choose 15 large charms, then it was unlimited smaller charms. It's so fun to decorate and get creative. My daughter loves arts & crafts so this is her kind of thing.

    I had so much fun here and I fear it has unlocked a new hobby for me. The two hours is more than enough time to decorate your item of choosing. I recommend choosing the frostings that have glitter in them, because the solid color ones seemed a bit runny. They can do a piping tutorial if you request. I also recommend that so that you can know what the different pipes are! There is a discount if you tag them on your instastory, and they gave us a coin to try the claw machine :,) Plus, there is a designated parking lot.

    Very cute place, so many options for things to decorate, and a wide selection of charms to add. I do wish I could've used more colors of glue, but overall it was a great experience. The lady who greeted us was very kind, informative, patient, and gave us a demonstration- I'm a very crafty person and wanted to find an activity where my family could have just as much fun even though they aren't as crafty and this was the perfect place. They do have a pretty strict policy on being on time and there aren't any public bathrooms in the lot even, but you do get two full hours of uninterrupted calm craft time- I'd definitely come again!

    This is a super cute studio for DIY decoden charms on phone cases, picture frame, purse, jewelry box, hair pin, hair claw clip, gingerbread house, etc. The employees explain the process so you are informed step by step. The charm options are abundant and laid out on the table in front. Depending which item you get, that will determine how many charms you get to choose. For jewelry box, I was able to choose 20 charms, there is a separate table for certain charms that are unlimited and you may use as many as you want. If you need a piping tutorial, they will show your table how to pipe. The whole appointment takes about 2 hours. Very fun activity to do for all ages.

    This place was so cute, I could've spent many hours here (but sadly was maxed out at 2 lol). You get the option to decorate things like phone cases, claw clips, photo frames, and my friend and I ended up choosing the jewelry box. It comes in several colors and depends on what's available but they had white, pink, and purple available. For the cake icing, you also get multiple color so the options are endless. You get so many options for charms and I spent so much time deciding what to get. I think it's helpful coming in with some inspo pics in mind but also have fun with it! You will also get to learn how to do the piping too! My hands got so tired after a while doing it. Overall it was such a fun experience and I love how my jewelry box came out. The shop is located in a plaza with a parking lot. I went on a Sunday and luckily parking was free! You will also get $5 off if you share your pics on IG and follow the shop's account!

    Such a fun experience! Went for my birthday with my daughters if you love all things cute and love being creative this is for you! The experience was so amazing so relaxing You pick out of the items they offer from phone cases, jewelry boxes, mirrors, frames etc Then you pick out your charms your colors of "icing" glue and they sit you at a table give you a lesson on how to decorate with the glue and leave you to your creativity so fun and relaxing Hardest part is picking from all the fun charms The lady is super nice and sweet It's a bit expensive but worth the price for the experience.. I will definitely be back

    I saw this little gem on social media and decided it would make a great mother-daughter date activity. It was hard to book an appointment on a weekend and found myself having to wait a few months to book during spring break when my child is out of school. It was worth the wait! This quaint little place is located in an inconspicuous shopping center in little Tokyo. Parking was $6 with validation. **parking is cash only fyi ** we entered and were warmly greeted. We picked our projects and charms as well as frosting colors. The attendant gave us a short piping lesson and we were off to have fun. It was a great experience, albeit pricey. The total was $109 plus parking. My daughter and I enjoyed the experience and will likely return soon.

    I have been eyeing this place for quite awhile now. I've seen posts on Instagram and considered visiting a couple weeks ago, but they have since gotten very busy and require an appointment that you schedule online on their website. Honestly, very happy that these appointments are in place as the studio is quaint and cozy, so it's nice not to be too crowded. There is a private lot where Pinku is located, so be sure to get a validation stamp. Most days are $2 per hour, and I believe most Sunday's and Monday's are free. Once you decide on what you'd like to decorate, you select your colored simulation glues, and big charms. The charms are so cute and high quality. My boyfriend and I decided to decorate a Jewelry Box ($55) and a Phone Case ($45 + $5 for the bear popsocket). Once we chose our glues and charms, we were seated with our items placed, and we were taught how to pipe and make bubbles. I am so glad we were given a tutorial as I had no idea how to go about this neatly. At your decorating station, there are paper towels, wet wipes, plastic spoons for small glitters and rhinestones, toothpicks, and scissors and nail files (to rough up surfaces). Literally everything you need! Also, there was a good selection of glitters and rhinestones to use at each station, and another table with some smaller charms you are able to use. Decorating was so much fun! I honestly can't believe how much fun we had, and how nice our creations turned out! This was such a unique and worthwhile experience. Definitely cannot wait to visit again soon! (Yep, we already made another appointment!)

    I found Pinku on Tiktok - a little shop to make decoden pieces. They have a variety of items to decorate like phone cases, mirrors, claw clips, jewelry boxes and more! My friend and I decided to make heart jewelry boxes, which came in a few colors. We made an appt online a few weeks in advance. They do take down your card info so make sure you don't no-show. When we arrived, we parked in the lot where it cost about $4 with validation. The worker was super patient and kind when explaining the details - 2 hours to sit and decorate, 3 colors of glue, 20 charms included and unlimited mini charms/glitter. She showed us a few piping techniques and we were able to practice. The outcome was sooo cute and came with a little "cake" box to let it dry without ruining it. It takes 5 days to fully harden. 100% recommend coming here with some friends and decorating to your aesthetic.

It was in the early afternoon. I rang the doorbell and the woman working buzzed the door open but I didn't catch the handle in time. After attempting again to get in to the store by ringing again and pulling the door but she walked to the back and never came back. I waited a few minutes and then left. I found it rude and am so disappointed. I have spent money at this store in the past because they have a nice selection. I did not expect to be treated as though I was not welcome. We made eye contact so it's not as though she didn't see me or hear the bell ring. I came here in lieu of going to my normal wholesaler because I felt it would be good to support a smaller business. I regret that choice.

I brought that stone and a few others to the counter and asked what the total would be. When the employee told me the sunstone was actually supposed to cost more, he said it had been marked incorrectly and told me, essentially, that he would honor the $7 price "this time," but that he had just changed the price and it would cost more next time. I said okay and decided I would purchase the sunstone. However, when he realized I no longer wanted to purchase the other stones, his attitude completely changed. He told me that he was no longer going to give me the sunstone for the price it was listed at. I asked him directly, "So you're not going to sell it to me for the listed price?" and he said no. I told him that I thought that was shitty business practice, and his response was completely unacceptable. He told me "fuck you," "get out," and "go fuck yourself." He then continued yelling at me and shooed me out of the store. Regardless of a pricing mistake, there is absolutely no excuse for speaking to a customer that way. If the price was genuinely listed incorrectly, I understand that mistakes happen, but the situation could have been handled professionally. Instead, I was verbally abused and kicked out simply because I questioned the pricing and decided not to purchase the other items. I will not be returning to Kings Beads, and based on this experience, I would strongly recommend thinking twice before spending your money here. Edit- I just learned what took place is illegal. I will be filing complaints with the La county DCBA. Truly unfortunate as they did have some nice things and I may have been a repeat customer had this not occurred. As a business owner myself, I'll let you guys know that treating a customer with respect and overcorrecting your own mistakes instead of abusing a customer over them will always end better.
