I visited Electric Strawberry in early April 2024 to get my nose pierced. It was easy to make an…read moreappointment online and the check in process at their location was smooth and easy. The front staff helped explain the aftercare and guided me through picking my stud. They had a LOT of jewelry to choose from. Since I knew id have to keep this initial piercing in my nose for nearly a year, I opted for something simple. I would definitely go back later to get one of their more unique pieces of jewelry, though. My piercer, Kalei, was professional and friendly. She made sure to explain the piercing process and in no time I had my nose pierced! It's been about 6 weeks and my nose appears to be healing great I will come back to Electric Strawberry when I'm ready to swap it out for a new piece. The one negative was even with an appointment, the wait time was a little long as they appeared to have a lot of walk-ins. But I also understand that some piercings/appointments might take longer than expected.

I'm usually more of a tattoo girl, but I decided I wanted to pierce my nostril. I did a lot of…read moreresearch online to find a shop that had a vibe I liked, and when I found Electric Strawberry, I was sold. It was incredibly easy to book an appointment, and their website was really helpful - I got to read about each piercer, look at jewelry options, and got a lot of piercing FAQ. The day of my appointment, I walked in and immediately knew I chose the right place. The shop is clean and unique, and I immediately felt my butterflies ease up. The front desk staff member that checked me in was incredibly helpful, going over the paperwork and helping me pick jewelry. I'd arrived a little bit early but only waited a few minutes before Jo took me back. She explained the process and then it was time to get pierced. Although piercing pain is a bit different than tattoo pain, Jo was quick and efficient. I'm incredibly happy with my entire experience and would highly recommend Electric Strawberry for anyone in the market for a piercing.

The apprentice is supervised by a senior piercer, in my case the shop owner, and it was a great experience. We went slow and had an easy paced consultation making sure the placement was just right and would also meet the kind of jewelry I wanted. They were happy to change and mark placement multiple times until I was satisfied and the owner was happy. All in, I paid $90 for both piercings including jewelry plus a tip.

For some reason Google Reviews isn't displaying my review from the summer so I'm cross-posting it…read morehere: I just moved to MN and wanted a new piercing for my birthday. Fraidy Cats came HIGHLY recommended by a friend who has been going to the owner Jamie for a decade now. I have 15+ piercings so this is not new territory for me. The same friend called the studio in the morning to check in with Jamie. Two of us wanted two new piercings, not one, and she said one appointment slot per person would be ok. We also let her know we had our own jewelry and she said it would have to be processed. She instructed us to book three back to back appointments with the same piercer online so we did just that and reserved an hour and a half time between the three of us (4pm-5:30pm). We arrived on time (3:58pm to be exact) and Jamie told us that she "messed up" the schedule and needed to help someone else first, but the staff came over to take care of us so it was fine. Our group of three proceeded to complete paperwork and a very lengthy after-care presentation. We were just following the staff's instructions so we figured we were still on schedule. Jamie joined us and called us by they/them pronouns by default which seemed thoughtful. She asked where we bought our jewelry from since it needs to be high quality. She went back and forth between the lobby where we were and her office on the other side of the wall to google the names of the studios where we said we bought the jewelry. Not sure if that's the best way to verify jewelry quality but ok. This was when things went south. Jamie said there was now only enough time for one of us to get pierced with jewelry that we brought and that there was no longer time for two of us to get two piercings each and that we would have to come back a different day. So we let my other friend who was visiting from out of state have that slot. I asked Jamie to process my jewelry alongside my friend's jewelry because I had a feeling there would be enough time for me. She reluctantly agreed and guess what? There was enough time -- my piercing was completed at 5:22pm. The piercer who did my tragus was kind, professional and personable. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned. Immediately after putting in the jewelry, she told me that it was slightly off and asked me to check the mirror. I calmly said that I didn't like it and asked that we remove it. She said ok but had to notify Jamie first. Jamie stormed in and was completely on the defense, saying things like, "This is a great piercing" and "It looks great to ME." I stayed quiet nearly the entire time. I struggle with social anxiety and standing up for myself, so the last thing I wanted to do was defend myself and start crying. All I was able to say was, "This isn't the placement I agreed to and I want it removed." Jamie removed the jewelry from my ear and explained to the piercer how it was at the wrong angle, while still not validating my decision to have it removed or apologizing for her piercer's lack of proper training. She also didn't do anything to stop the blood from pooling inside my ear and then raised her voice at me when I tried sitting up to prevent blood from going down my ear canal. The piercer tried helping me and Jamie started barking at her asking if there was blood on her floors (there wasn't). Thankfully Jamie left the room shortly after. When we left, Jamie didn't come out to ask how I was doing or say goodbye to my friend who, again, has been going to her for years and consistently refers people to her studio. I went back shortly after we left to ask for my deposit to be refunded since no one had mentioned it at any point. A staff member went to Jamie's office to ask and said that Jamie would take care of it within a few days. At this point it was clear that Jamie had no intention of seeing us out or following up on my experience. Again, this review has absolutely nothing to do with my botched piercing. These things happen. The problem is the way I was treated by Jamie. She had more respect for my pronouns than my well-being. Also I received my refund AFTER this review was posted on Google.

I would say they have a pretty decent selection of both wedding bands and engagement rings! For the engagement process, I kind of walked in there, knowing what I wanted, so the meeting was pretty short and straight to the point. Today with my wedding band appointment, I thought I knew what I wanted, but I ended up with something completely different! Darbi set out a ton of wedding bands that I had previously expressed interest in and then brought out a couple that I hadn't thought about, I got to try them all with my engagement ring and see what I like best. Darbi didn't press us into anything that we didn't wanna do, and also was mindful about the budget that we had set. Over all it was an amazing experience and would recommend it to anyone.

Brilliant Earth was recommended by so many and a place I was familiar with because they have locations back home in Chicago. I made an appointment and we worked with Claire the entire time. Claire is great, she has the patience of a saint. She's so fun and inviting and working with her was great. She completely got me to open my mind to a different vision from what I originally wanted, and she introduced me to the pink diamonds. I always wanted something that stood out and was not traditional at all. Brilliant Earth is just the place for unique pieces. Their selection of diamonds, colored diamonds, and gemstones is amazing! We will definitely be going back in the future for our wedding bands as well as just more statement pieces. I definitely recommend visiting Brilliant Earth for your jewelry needs!

They also have a friendly staff, and like others have mentioned clearly cater to pregnant ladies - drinks and snacks, a bathroom, and little TV/play area for kiddos and dads. Having said all that, their stuff is really expensive. There are lots of BOGO deals and other assorted "sales" but I walked out of there thinking "how in the F did I just drop $400 on clothes when she told me I saved a bunch of money, and I had an $80 credit for returns?" I will for sure be returning a few items - for example, the tank tops are buy one, get one for 1/2 off. Problem is they are $30! So paying $45 for two cotton tank tops is sort of a joke - you can get the same stuff at Target or Old Navy for way less. I feel silly for falling for all of that, but glad I have saved my reciepts and kept tags on everything. So - go for the cute dress you want to wear for your shower or to a party, and get fitted for maternity bras, but get your "staples" like t's, tanks and PJ's at other stores and you'll save a bunch of money.

There's a new maternity store at the mall and it is A-OK…read more I feel a little let down bc somehow the signs made me think it was going to be Huge! and New! and not just the same old Motherhood store and Pea in the Pod combined. The pros: *Clearly the staff knows how to treat and talk to pregnant women. *Free drinks. (bottled water, apple juice and OJ) *You can (obviously) try on a dozen pairs of pants (so much maternity wear is online only) When I explained what I was looking for, the staff helped pick things off the racks. *The pants were all crazy long on me (well thats a con. I'm 5'8 which seems like a pretty tall height for how long everything was!) But the sales staff figured out where in the mall I could go immediately to have the hems fixed. Thanks! *Like many maternity stores, there are couches and toys in case you brought along any toddlers or menfolk. *They seemed to have a pretty impressive selection of nursing bras (I wasn't shopping for those) but (another con, oops) not much in nursing clothing. (I'm always looking for that bc it is hard to find) The cons: *The Pea in the Pod stuff is $$$. You have $180 to spend on maternity jeans? Great for you! *The Motherhood (and lots of the PITP) stuff is just ugly. So many ugly prints on ugly fabric. *The staff is on commission and its obvious. Besides showing me her "favorite" pair of maternity jeans (the $180 pair) there was tons of talk about how to correctly ring up a sale while I was paying. Not their fault, but something I hate to see so obviously in retail. *Lots of promotional signs in the store, but many are very limited. I bought two pairs of full price jeans (each about $40) that were located right next to each other and a sign saying "select jeans, buy one get one 50% off" but there was no way to tell which pairs were "select". Mine weren't. *I bought a winter coat on red line sale for $70. Woo hoo! Well, not really but I'm happy to have it. There's a sale on red line items, buy 2 get 1 free. I couldn't find anything that I would want to wear at all for a second item, yet alone a third. Oh well.
