I had a hard time mulling over what to rate this place, simply because it is very affordable, quick, and reasonable, however I had a not so great experience with some of the staff. When I first arrived, I was nervous. I was mulling over which earring to get my second hole pierced with and I was nervous about actually getting them pierced. I was not greeted at all, in fact I was ignored. The two women on staff (in Friday the 21st of July around 12 pm) totally ignored me and when I asked a question, they gave a short answer and went right back to being on their phones. I was put off by this, and ultimately made more nervous about getting a piercing. I went to icing, but I was really wanting a specific earring from piercing pagoda! I went back a few times, and was ultimately ignored. I went away and being pressured, I decide to take the plunge even though I didn't want one of the rude girls piercing my ears. But, to my surprise! There was another woman there, by the name of Rachel. She was warm and sweet, and got the process started quickly!!
She explained everything to me, reassured me, and over all made me feel good about my piercing. I totally loved the piercing !!!! I'll post pictures to show the beautiful (& affordable) earring as well as the perfect execution. Rachel deserves a raise, and I would definitely get a piercing from her again.
The kicker about the way the other two girls were acting was that another girl and her parents came up, and one of them with mid length hair and fringe cut hair instantly started to help them! I felt embarrassed before, standing there trying to figure out what was going on, but I simply felt insulted with the ways the girls acted once I saw them being warm and polite to another girl. I felt it was a rude, and i can only speculate the reason they did this. Maybe they thought I didn't have enough money or maybe they had prejudices, but it doesn't matter. They were not kind, hospitable, or even good saleswomen towards me.
I loved my experience with Rachel, but I felt belittled and sad considering that I have gotten my cartilage pierced at a another location and loved it!!
To sum it up, I was in love with the product and price, as well as the service I received from Rachel, but I was disgusted by the behavior of the other two women. read more
