I unfortunately feel the need to write this review because I can't stop thinking about this…read moreinteraction. I originally chose this shop because I trusted they would do a great job. Samantha pierced my nose on December 1, and she also pierced my husband's nose previously. We've both had nothing but positive experiences with her, which makes this even more disappointing. I arrived about 15 minutes early for my appointment because we finished lunch sooner than expected. When I checked in, I specifically said, "We're early, but I have an appointment at 2:45," fully expecting to wait. The response I received was, "Well, we work by appointment, and we're assisting other appointments ahead of you." While that was true, the delivery felt unnecessarily condescending. My husband and I both commented afterward that the interaction immediately felt off. My appointment was simply to check whether my piercing had healed enough for a hoop and if not, to get new jewelry that would be easier to clean than the sparkle I had in. I had already come in a few months earlier to have the post downsized, and at that time I was told it wasn't ready yet and to come back later. During this visit, I explained that I got the piercing on December 1. To which he laughed and I don't understand why. I'm type A and I just know these details and thought I was being helpful by including a little more context. I explained that my goal was eventually to switch to a hoop if it had healed enough. After examining it, he said he would not recommend a hoop yet, which was completely fine--I came in specifically to get professional guidance. He then told me that if he were me, he would stop putting makeup on. I understand that makeup can slow healing, but the way it was communicated came across as judgmental rather than educational. I replied that I wasn't going to stop wearing makeup, and he explained that it would continue to heal more slowly. Fine. I was simply there to check and understand where I was in the process. I know that I'm not the expert, telling me to not wear makeup for months on end is completely unrealistic and I'm sure many women feel the same. I ended up choosing different jewelry instead of a hoop, and he changed it for me. He also took the time to thoroughly explain how to safely change my jewelry myself, which I genuinely appreciated. I'm happy with the new jewelry, the fit, and the information he shared. Unfortunately, the overall attitude throughout the appointment overshadowed those positives. I left feeling uncomfortable rather than cared for. I even chose not to leave a tip, which is very unusual for me because I always tip for services. When I checked out, both staff members were kind and let me know they would be happy to help me change my jewelry in the future if I needed it. I appreciated that, but by then I had already decided I won't return. Feeling uncertain about what kind of interaction I'll have each time I come in--especially when I eventually want a hoop--creates more anxiety than it's worth. It's disappointing because I truly believe the shop provides quality work, and Samantha has been wonderful. I just wish the customer experience had matched the quality of the service I received. I understand that tone and what I experienced was subjective, however, after seeing reviews others have experienced the same.

While this was happening the staff member I was sitting with was very impatient and unprofessional, at one point also asking me "Where's her f*cking ID?" I left the building with a little spike helix piercing, thinking it looked good. However, within the week, the spike had COME OFF. it's not a twist-off (even if it was, I never would've been able to find it) it actually just like... popped off. After that, I didn't want to accept that I had flushed $70 down the toilet, so I flipped it around and would press it in every hour or so because, even still, without the spike, it would sink into my ear and close the hole. This was a very painful addition to my piercing journey. And this morning, when I woke up, the whole thing was gone and the hole was closed. I'm very, very, unhappy about my piercing, and if I could go back in time, I would've gone somewhere else.

He was thorough in explaining why he was doing what he did. This piercing isn't super common so I had a lot of questions and had been researching for a few months how the piercing should be done, however I'm still not the professional. Anyway he freehanded my piercing after marking it several times to make sure we were both super happy. He also added in a travel size neilmed for "keeping me so long" My experience was nothing short of phenomenal. I will be going back to size down my jewelry as well as any further piercing needs.

The girl that helped me was wonderfully knowledgeable in the products (I had gotten my nose pierced several months ago and wanted to switch out from the stud to a very fine gauge ring). We talked for quite awhile and she took the time to make sure I was going to be happy with my purchase. We talked and compared tattoos as well... so just my personal view, because I have lovely tattoos done by an impressive artist and the girl that helped me had some beautiful tats too, but we also both had awful ones done by hacks. If you've got tats, you know what I'm talking about, you form a bond talking about them with complete strangers. The prices are great and the jewelry is quality.
