Careful, because this place can become an addiction quickly! Lucky to have this great shop in town as their jewelry is an abstract variety of designs. While the shop has some big price tags, you are truly paying for not only a beautiful piece of sea glass, but the process of the art as well. Check out the Hoale boy collection for sure if you're an animal lover like me!! Donna & her staff are so welcoming and really help you on your sea glass jewelry buy. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!

Betty Belts is my wife's favorite jewelry shop in Ventura. Now that we're separated and temporarily living apart, Betty Belts has become part of my plan to win back her love through a series of heroic, practical and subtly romantic gestures. I'm now able to perform up to eight push ups (though not yet in a row), I've secured a temporary/full-time job, and I saved enough money from discontinuing my David Hasselhoff fan club membership and forgoing a trip to the triennial Der Hasselhoff convention in Dusseldorf, Germany to buy her a nice gift. Betty Belts is a clever mix of ocean-inspired creativity, thoughtful recycling and sustainable beauty. The owner, Donna, scours the earth for sea glass and uses other 'green' materials to create a unique and varied collection of bespoke jewelry. The natural beauty of the sea glass results in jewelry pieces that you simply will not find elsewhere. I'm not a particularly attractive man and was quite shy when I met my beautiful wife nearly three decades ago, yet I convinced her of our love within six months of our first meeting. My approach to romance was much like that of an errant plastic grocery bag that one might see in the roadway. The mysterious and ephemeral grocery bag is buffeted, rises and falls as you rapidly approach it on a crowded highway but, for reasons you cannot explain, you dare not veer from your path or look away. Ultimately, that bag ends up stuck to your bumper or welded to your undercarriage for the next fifty miles. In addition to re-implementing my now 30-year-old grocery bag technique, and improving my romantic metaphors, I've been trying to understand how I can support my wife during the next phase of our lives. Betty Belts is a good place to start, because Betty Belts is in your corner to support you in personal gifting, romantic overtures, or even a bit of self-gifted and sustainable bling. Thank you Betty Belts!

I need to take a minute to give out a shout out to my favorite small shop in Ventura. I can't say enough good things about the employees and the store owner Donna. They are all so incredibly kind and helpful. Annika, Coco, Shayla, Leila and Maddie are just a few of the girls I can think of by name that are the sweetest! Every time I walk into Betty belts I'm always greeted with smiles and assistance. If you're anything like me and customer service is important to you, then I highly recommend supporting, this lovely little shop. This year everyone on my Christmas list is getting a gift from Betty Belts because the quality of the jewelry is unmatched in my opinion. I personally own several pieces of jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and even sweatshirts. To all the lovely ladies at Betty Belts, thank you for making my shopping experience such a delight.

I used to come in and purchase gifts for my friends for every occasion. The customer service was always top tier, and the workers were always attentive. I went in this recently to buy a gift and the workers spent most of the time talking amongst themselves and barely offered help, one of them even bumped into me without apologizing. A simple excuse me would've been appreciated.The overall quality of the jewelry is quite nice and they do offer very unique pieces. However, if I ever decide to shop here again I would probably just purchase online rather than going in store.

Wow... I don't know where to start with this one because I cannot say enough good things about this place! I am a huge fan of this Ventura shop and what they stand for, as I love the ocean and all things beach & sunshine. It started when my family first purchased one of their "surfite" pendants (made of upcycled surfboard resin) for me as a gift at Monterey Bay Aquarium, which I really loved and still do to this day. I leave it on 24/7 as a base pendant using a shorter cord for stacking with other chains (it showers well being surfboard resin). That pendant introduced me to the Betty Belts brand. I've never seen creations like my pendant before, so I checked out videos online about their jewelry creation process (another one of their specialties is jewelry made from sea glass). Since then, I've placed quite a few orders for additional trinkets (cords / pendants / rings) from their online store. I'm hoping to be able to add a matching surfite bracelet to my current pendant, but since the pieces are created from surfboard resin randomly, being able to obtain a bracelet with the exact same colours will be extremely difficult! It's a sidequest for now since I may never find one. The purchases have gone very smoothly, and all of the employees I've interacted with so far have been extremely helpful & friendly. I want to give a special thank-you to the store's owner, Donna, who has personally gone above & beyond to resolve the few issues with my orders and made sure that everything was right. Even though they are a small shop, do not hesitate to order online here as the customer service has been exceptional! I hope to be able to visit the store one day as I've been such a fan of their wares... being able to see the place in person would be one of my SoCal dreams come true. A bit of a hyperbole perhaps, but I am truly looking forward to it! I wish them nothing but the best.

Hairstylist are great, they do great work especially Juve. Their only problem is they don’t open when it says it gonna be open and bad at scheduling appointments. But I’ll still keep coming to them because they’re the best. Been coming to them for over 14 years.

I wanted to rate it a 2 but we love the jewelry. My daughter has been buying for years here and loves this store, if we didn't love the merchandise here we would never come back every time we are in the girls are rude, disinterested, and come off just plain mean except for yesterday ....KENDALL was the first young lady that made our shopping experience welcoming, pleasant, and enjoyable. The others working gave us the same attitudes we have always experienced. So kudos to Kendal she was great made our day!

Great service usually but the guy that works there gave himself a 10 dollar tip off my card after I left. Meaning he wrote down my credit card details and re charged my card for ten dollars after me signing for the $23 haircut. Absolute joke I’ll be going back In tomorrow to speak with the owner and hopefully him because he’ll have to explain fraud to me because last I checked, that’s it to a tee.

I wanted a trim with some layers. The girl used a flat iron on my hair and then cut off about 4 - 5 inches. I was butchered. Can’t put my hair into a ponytail anymore as she cut it up above my shoulders when it was getting nice and long.Service: Haircut

Betty belts is one of my favorite shops in Ventura! I've been buying gifs there for years and have quite the collection myself! Donna is the sweetest and her staff are always helpful. They will gift wrap anything you purchase. There are so many jewelry options and now clothing and more. And of course you can always shop online! Five stars!!!

I drove almost 2 hours to come down here with my sisters and had such a great experience! The lovely employee that we had the pleasure of working with was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She was super helpful and offered to pull out samples for different styles and sizes. She also helped us out so much when it came to designing our own custom rings! I can't wait to see how they turn out! Looking forward to coming back here and adding even more gorgeous jewelry to my collection :)

every single time i come in here, nobody wears a mask. it is required all throughout ventura, with all of the neighbor businesses wearing them. what makes you think you're special? i brought my grandmother in here to help her gift shop and it's just super rude and obnoxious to expose elderly like that as well as the rest of the community in that extremely tiny establishment. the workers have also been rude each time as well, disappointing. especially since the items being purchased are in fact not cheap. not a very good representation of a local store.

What can I say " I love, love, love the beautiful sea glass jewelry in this store " Betty Belts is definitely my guilty pleasure I have three generations who shop here and each one of us can always find the perfect ring, necklace, ankle bracelet or earrings. We have also bought clothing. Oh, and the owner and staff are very friendly and attentive to their customers. Please support Betty Belts and shop local. You will not be disappointed. Susan Chavez
