I had a really great experience here (the Janaf location). And I interacted with a lot more staff than maybe a normal person would. I emailed, phoned, and went to the shop twice throughout my whole piercing process from booking to replacement post after my swelling went down. I got a fast response from my email and was treated kindly at every interaction. I got a side labret piercing, and I'm a good bit older than most of their clientele, so I called to make an appointment (I live far away) and to request Kimberly be my piercer, since she's the master piercer and 20-year-old skin is not the same as 50-year-old skin. I was REALLY nervous at my piercing appt, so I forgot all the questions I wanted to ask. But at my 8 weeks post-piercing, I went back to the shop to get a shorter post put in, and Laycie helped me, and she was the absolute sweetest. If you've been pierced there, they'll put in your jewelry for free, so I only had to pay 20 bucks for the new, shorter post. Despite the fact that this was not exactly a big money-making appointment for Laycie, she patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions that I had forgotten to ask before. I'll be back when I'm ready for my hoop! :) P.S. They have a HUGE selection of jewelry here! Highly recommend even if you just want new bling! read more

So nice, caring, and helpful--huge props to Laycie for helping me today with a problematic second lobe piercing! Come here to get your piercings looked at or attended to, even if they were done somewhere else! I needed to be seen right away to get medical attention for a piercing I got with a friend out-of-town two months ago. My posts were too short and my skin was starting to heal over my jewelry. Laycie was the best and took care of me as soon as the shop opened. She walked me through everything she was doing, salvaged the piercing, and helped me change my jewelry so I wouldn't have the same problem again. I highly recommend! read more

Great experience. Jessica was a great piecer. She was so good with my daughter. They even offered a free consultation for earring placements. Jessica talked me through my options based on my ear shape and style. I liked that more than one person can go back to watch the piercing. It's also really clean and organized in there. I will definitely be coming here for all my piercing needs. read more

After waiting for the healing process of my nose ring to come to an end, I was so excited to have it changed. Called ahead and the employee was very welcoming with my same day visit. Immediately greeted upon walking into the store. A little bit of a wait, but the employee was very helpful in picking a new ring. Waited to have it changed and the piercer was great! Nice sense of humor as I (of course) overreacted to getting it changed but it was absolutely painless! Easy process overall and I'm glad I can be as trusting of this location as the Chesapeake one (where I originally got my nose pierced). read more

I was so nervous to get my 4 month olds ears pierced but i knew I wanted to go somewhere that specialized in piercings and stay away from malls! They were so good with her, patient & extremely fast! Not to mention, how professional and clean the shop felt! My daughter calmed down immediately after and didn't seemed bothered by her new sparkles AT ALL after! 10/10 recommend choosing this shop for your next piercing! read more

I made an appointment for my daughter to get her ears pierced because this is one of the few locations I've come across that offer children's piercings with a needle. We show up a few minutes before the appointment so I can do paperwork, give them the copies, etc. We do all that and it's super simple. Kids have a requirement for getting pierced based on age. I was really annoyed and frustrated because he ended up taking two women at my daughter's appointed time back to be pierced. They couldn't make up what they wanted pierced and were loud and obnoxious. Not only that, but my daughter had to listen to women screaming and cussing behind the closed door piercing area. They saw my small daughter was here, and she was just getting her ears pierced unlike the woman who was taken before who got her genitals pierced. The piercer Jordan was apologetic about the language, and he seemed to have a great tolerance for kids. I honestly came here because of the good reviews mentioning him, but I wonder would I have had a better experience at the other location. I wonder if an appointment was even necessary or if I could have came earlier in the day. In any case, the only thing I was really impressed with was the guy who checked us in, let my daughter patiently pick out what color jewelry she wanted, and put the marks on her ears. He even gave her a llama to hold and a lollipop for the road. I can't say I'd come back though. read more

We loved our experience at Finders Keepers! My daughter wanted her ears pierced for her 8th birthday, but we have a family history of ear trouble so I didn't want to just go to the mall. Tattoo studios all had a higher age limit or needed more forms of ID than we had. This place was clean and hygienic. Both ladies at the counter were very friendly. Jamie, who did the piercing, was so great with my daughter. She could tell she was a little nervous but made her laugh and really put her at ease. My only complaint is that I would have liked some more options in the starter jewelry, but I also understand that's probably not the bulk of their business and may not be lucrative enough for them to stock. I would absolutely recommend this place! read more

I showed up at 8:48 PM on a Friday, just to see if they had ring guards and they turned the lights off right as I walked up. Like, if they're gonna say they're open until 9, I understand having a cut off time for actually piercing someone, but just to buy an item, or even to just inquire if they have something, they should follow their hours. If they don't like them, they should set earlier hours. 0/10. read more

Finders Keepers is the ONLY place in Hampton Roads I'll go for all my piercing wants and needs!!! I've been going to Finders Keepers and getting pierced, off and on, since I was in middle school, and have had the honor of watching it grow from a small shop to what it is now: 2 beautiful studios (one in Norfolk and the other in Chesapeake), filled with talented piercers who have gone through rigorous and extensive training, strive each day to do amazing work, and sell the best jewelry available in the industry. When you walk in, you'll be greeted with a smile, then asked if you have an appointment (walk-ins are perfectly fine), before being checked in. Next, you'll be given time to look over the jewelry options and even offered suggestions based on your chosen piercing(s); from titanium to gold, opal and cubic zirconia (CZ), both in a plethora of color options and combos, there's plenty to drool over and pick from. Before being taken back, please make sure to ask for your titanium pieces to be anodized before getting pierced. Every surface is properly cleaned and well maintained (there's even hand sanitizer at the front door), all employees wear masks, and the piercers wear gloves from start to finish, so no worries about cleanliness, especially with Covid still hanging around; make sure you wear a mask as well. Your piercer will talk you through your piercing procedure and answer any questions before, during, and afterwards; don't be afraid to ask...there are no stupid questions! Once pierced, your jewelry will be installed, the area will be cleaned up, and you'll be ready to go! I highly suggest paying for the aftercare kit; the Steri spray is amazing for gently cleaning your fresh piercing and Big Betty's is a lifesaver when your new piercing gets itchy or irritated (a little goes a looong way). If you ever have concerns about how your piercing is healing, don't ever be afraid to call or pop in to ask questions or have it looked at; Finders Keepers WANTS to ensure your new piercing is happy and healthy for a long time. Could you go to a tattoo shop and get pierced? Yes. Could you go to Claire's or the Piercing Pagoda and have your kiddo's ears pierced? Yes. But the overall experience, while cheap and quick, won't compare to the atmosphere, talent, and customer service at Finders Keepers. read more

Finders Keepers Body Piercing - Fresh tragus piercing done by Jordan + daith piercing done some years ago, also by Jordan. - Piercing Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I've been here a few times, over the years, but this is my first time leaving a review (about time). I took my 2 year old daughter here yesterday to get her ears pierced, and Jordan did amazing with her. He was very soft-spoken and gave her a calm environment, which really helped keep her from being anxious during her piercing. He even saw her dad trying to take pictures from across the shop and had him come into the piercing room so he could get better pictures of this milestone. From my experience, even as he was piercing my own ears and tongue, Jordan and the rest of the staff have always been professional, which is why I keep coming back. There were a lot of choices for child earrings, as well as other body jewelry, and they were all very nicely displayed at the counter. The whole facility was clean, and they took great precautions, given the state of public health, and overall it was just a good experience. They do get busy, so I strongly suggest you make an appointment before going. I know I will when I come back for my next piercing. read more

Finders Keepers Body Piercing - The adorable studs that my daughter picked out. - Piercing Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

too over priced Asked for $120 for my daughters first ear piercing. They said the after care was $20 and for my child to get the plush would be $95 but because they are usually for infants it would be an extra $10 dollars, I was very confused as to where all of these extra fees were coming from. definitely wont be coming back here. My oldest child was looking at this pink purse on display and it was going for $100 but it definitely wasn't worth the 100. Another thing would be that they allow dogs and considering that they have everything out in the open that seems unsanitary. read more

Went back today to get my helix pierced for my birthday with my friend. We went in and were greeted by Dak. He was super friendly and wasn't pushy about what kind of jewelry to put in my helix. He let's people figure out what they want between the titanium and 14k gold they have. Three other clients came in while he was getting started with us and he helped them before taking us in the back. He explained very well how he was going to do things and I appreciate that he didn't do a countdown because I have an issue with needles and low pain tolerance. He also put a dot on my ear to see where it would go after we talked about where I wanted it placed so that it was practical. The actual needle going in hurt, but he was super nice about my reaction and was very calming. My friend was able to be the hand I squeezed for dear life. Once the needle was in, he let me know he was putting in the jewelry and there was some pain associated with that, but not too much. He also showed me the metal clamps so that I still knew what was going on. My friend was a much quicker process, but still just as seamless. I would recommend Dak on any day of the week because he was nothing but nice with my anxiety even though this isn't my first piercing. read more

Outstanding experience at Finders Keepers with Tyler for my 6 year old daughter's ear piercing. Tyler was very patient and kind with her, making sure that she was ready for each step of the ear piercing. He even played along with her "paying" with her pretend credit card. Shop was clean, earing selection was great, and the other staff we talked to while setting up her appointment and selecting her jewelry were also knowledge and kind. Will recommend Finders Keepers for sure! read more

I went there today to get my baby girl's ears pierced. Lauren and Jordan were amazing, the place was spotless and they were following all the precautions during these COVID times. There are not enough words to describe how professional, kind and gentle Jordan was, it was also a relieving to know he has many years of experience working not only with adults but also with kids. Before the procedure Jordan took the time to explain the process and made sure my daughter and I were comfortable with the way the procedure was going to go, also keep in mind they use a needle instead of a gun, which makes it less painful and not traumatic.If you need a place to get your baby's earlobe pierced this is the place for you. read more

Living in a new city it's hard to find places to trust. I'm so glad I found them! Getting a piercing can be nerve wrecking, so it's important to have people to make it easy going. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. The place was very clean! Got my piercings done Feb 15th 2021 and it all went great! The whole process was very comfortable, quick and painless! About a year later I lost one of my rings while sleeping, I rushed in to buy new jewelry and again great customer service! They also put it back in because for some reason my body tried closing up the hole! This was also a quick process though not so painless. So great full they were able to help me out again! I did have a negative reaction to the Big Betty's after piercing cream, not sure if it's because I have very sensitive skin but I didn't do well with it two separate occasions. That's not saying it's gonna give everyone a reaction. Will continue to come here and also recommend anyone who asks! read more

They made my experience wonderful. The staff is very friendly and the piercer was really attentive and professional.

Let me start by saying everyone is friendly here. I stumbled upon this place when running errands. I wanted to get new body jewelry. A lady changed out my industrial bar and double tragus as well. About 3 weeks later they bothe began to come out. I returned back to ask if they could replace it. I was told no unfortunately but I do believe they allowed me to purchase another discounted and put in it free of charge. I could live with that and I appreciated the compromise. read more

Came in today with a friend for to get a birthday helix piercing done, and Dak was on point in greeting and explaining everything to us. He was patient and friendly with her understanding her anxiety over needles, and was super careful and communicative with her. On top of his personality and presence, the shop was super clean and well organized including in the actual piercing rooms themselves. I got in the chair after hers was done, and he looked at my helix to examine where it had been pierced before to see if the last piercing was still possibly open. The taper showed him it was still there, so he inserted the hoop and closed it instead of having to do the full piercing. I'm really impressed with how professional he was and the absolute honesty instead of just taking the money to do something that wasn't needed. I'll definitely be back for future piercings. read more

jordan is so awesome! he's the most genuine person and is so informative, i think he has like 17 years of experience!! i deal with some mental health things so i was insanely anxious when i went back into the room. i'm pretty sure he could tell so he was as quick, thorough, and worked as swiftly as possible. definitely coming back to this shop again. i absolutely recommend jordan for your piercing needs if you deal with anxiety read more

I went in on a Saturday right after they opened and was the only customer. They were friendly and open to questions. I got my nostril pierced by Jasper on 4/23 and it is now 5/4 and my healing is going great!! I use h2ocean to clean it 2x a day with clean hands. Only had a tiny bit of blood the first time I cleaned it. I'm so ecstatic at how it looks and how it's healing. I will definitely be back to get my other nostril done! Little pricey but you get what you pay for and I don't mind. I told him I will be nervous to change it the first time and he told me to come back and they'd do it for me. I kind of wish I could have asked what gauge labret it is so I can buy the right size. Will give them a call to find out soon. Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

We brought our 10 month old here to have her ears pierced and cannot say enough good things about the experience we had. All of the employees there were beyond knowledgeable and patient, especially when dealing with about 10-12 people in line while we were there. They made us feel comfortable and at ease before, during, and after the piercing. Two guys did the piercing at the same time, so it was really quick for the baby (and us!). I was impressed with them immediately upon arrival in hearing their conversations with other customers and it continues to the current moment as my daughters ears look not only perfect, but there isn't even a pinch of red or swollen. To an average person you wouldn't even be able to tell they were pierced today. Highly highly highly recommend and a special thank you to the employees there for making this such a smooth experience. read more

Made an appointment and still waited over 30 mins after the time for them to finish with walk ins... ended up leaving.

I have nothing but good things to say about this company. I have gotten 3 piercings done by them so far. Two at the Norfolk location (nose and second hole for my ear lobes) and one at the Greenbrier location (cartilage). They are fast, friendly and efficient. Most importantly they are sanitary! All of my piercings have healed surprisingly fast with little to no pain. I recommend to all my friends and there is no doubt I will be back for any future piercings! read more

Today was a big day for my daughter! She's five and recently decided she was ready to have her ears pierced, so after discussing the process with her for a week and making sure she would be responsible with her new piercing we looked into our options locally. She said she would be brave but we were expecting a few tears if my a total change of mind ( ) , however she was totally fine and didn't cry or wince at all. I think explaining the process with her before hand really helped keep her calm so she would know what to expect. I have to say Harper who greeted us as we walked in was so sweet, really nice and just pleasant to be around. So the experience was great from the start. After filling out our paperwork we went with Jordan who was piercing my daughters ears. He was so great with her, made her very comfortable and chatted with her a bit before marking her ears and piercing. He is great with kids, pierced her ears perfectly and ended with a high five and some really sweet compliments about my daughter! All around fantastic customer service and excellent environment! Professional and clean environment, great people! We will definitely return for any future piercings! read more

After taking a long break from body mods I decided to stop by to update my collection. I'm a long time customer since 2005 when they were located next to military circle mall and only had one location. The staff here is very patient, helpful, and informative...which is great if you need a while to make up your mind like myself. I've gotten multiple piercings here too, They're very professional and know what they're doing. Also...if you're shopping to stock up on your collection they'll give you a nice discount/coupons/free sea salt. They have weekly text updates as well with ever changing specials. read more

Went here to get my 7 month old daughter to finally get her ears pierced and my nose pierced (was feeling like a daredevil at the time) & ALSO, my ears re-pierced. I forgot the two ladies' names but they were EXTREMELY helpful on me finding the store because I was driving in the rain trying to look for the place because the GPS took me somewhere else. But I found it! It's next to a GameStop and a nail shop. The shop itself is very clean, sterile and organized. Not a lot of stuff going on. The ladies were very patient with my daughter since she started crying when I got my nose pierced up until it was her turn to get her ears pierced. Didn't make the crying any better but she slept good after all that haha. After all that, we paid then got this coupon for $5 off next piercing and I'll definitely will be back to use that! read more

Finders Keepers was by far the best piercing place I have ever been to. Malcolm was extremely attending and extremely open from the moment we walked in. He continued to check on us while we waited and was incredibly kind. Dak did an amazing job with my piercing. He took his time to make sure that my piercing was perfect and would look amazing (which it does). Both of them were incredibly kind and genuine. I can't wait to go back for more! read more

I walked in and the staff was not welcoming or friendly at all. They were very unprofessional and didn't even want to be there. I say that because these 2 ladies were talking about not wanting to be there right in my face. Very sad place and I definitely will not be returning ever again. read more

I came to this location to get my septum piercing and snake eyes. The first experience I had was 9.5/10 only due to the fact that I was drooling a lot on my snake eye piercing and got it all over my shirt but could have been avoided if my piercer (Kimberly) put a napkin on my shirt. Other then that my experience was great they where all kind and knowledgeable about the questions I asked. Then the next day I notice while I was driving home from work my septum ball fell from my nose. So I decided to call the store to see if I will have it replaced the ball by it self because that was the only thing I needed not a whole new horseshoe for my nose. I explained this the receptionist who told me I come back and get the ball replaced. So I wind up going there they where very busy and only had one piercer in the middle of the day. I wind up waiting 20 to 30 minutes to get what I thought would be the ball replacement. While waiting on my turn me being nosey I hear Kimberly talking to a women in front of me who's piercing it either rejected it wasn't the right one and she came to get a replacement. Kimberly had asked her when did you get it done she said April ! She winds up replacing the piercing for zero cost even though the lady announced to the whole store that she paid 170 for the piercing that got rejected. So after that Kimberly tells me that do not have balls to replace that I would have to get a whole new piercing which I was fine with what I was not fine was the fact she was trying to charge me for the jewelry when I literally had came the day before and felt like that was unfair considering this women who came in April gets 170 dollar piercing replaced for free when we are in August ! I explained to Kimberly that it's not fair for me to be paying for jewelry when I did all my after care properly. It's not my fault that you have faulty jewelry and don't how to make something tight enough. Then she tells me there's a sign somewhere in the store there is a sign that says we are not responsible for lost jewelry. I told her show me the sign and I will pay which she did not and told me have a good day. I will not be coming to this location again because of that experience. They just a lost what could have been a loyal customer! It's sad that this establishment would rather have my 65 dollars for the replacement then the hundreds of dollars I would have been spending. I actually scheduled an appointment to get my belly button pierced but cancelled it after what happened today. Post this on Yelp since they decided to delete my google review! read more

Had 3 piercings done and a jewelry change, great service and reliable place for minors as well!

I called at 9pm to get pricing Information, I believe I spoke with Jessica. She was the sweetest thing ever! I felt like I was talking to a good girlfriend on the phone. I was really just getting the price information to get at a later date but after talking to her, I decided to do it tonight!! I got there about 9:40pm, last customer of the night. My GPS dropped me off in front of BJs in the Janaf shopping center, they're actually behind it. So you would need to drive around to the back. There is a strip back there with small businesses. Once inside the store, I noticed how clean and organized it was. I have my ID and asked a million more questions about which piercings were a good fit for me. They were super patient and understanding. We went over jewelry sizes, colors, shapes, metals, etc. I didn't feel rushed at all! Once in the room, the piercer, introduced himself, gave me his background information. He has been in the piercing profession for 9 years now. I sat in a chair as he cleaned the table and got everything together. I was paying very close attention to what he was doing to ensure that things were being handled with care. He didn't disappoint. He washed his hands 2x before he even touched me. When it was time to get started. He walked me thru everything making sure I was ok and still breathing. He was very quick, which I appreciated! I felt slightly faint after my first piercing, he quickly called for me a sucker to put in my jaw, a water bottle and turned the fan on. After a few moments, he asked did I want to continue to the other piercings. I agreed. After two more quick sticks I was done. I paid at the end. It was $140.00, including a military discount. I purchased the care package for $9.99 which I can use for all three piercings, so it was a great addition. They were very thorough in making sure I understood exactly what I was to do to clean and heal properly. I would highly recommend this place. There might be some places cheaper, but you get what you pay for!! read more
