I came in today to buy a replacement bat amber ring today that i bought from this shop three years ago. Unfortunately the owner ignored me after trying to get his attention multiple times. Which is funny bc he said hello when I came honestly such a disappointment sorry yall lost out on buissness. read more

Was hesitant to bring a watch here to get resized after reading mixed reviews. I am so glad I took the chance! The watch repair person was so friendly and efficient. We were in and out in 10 min! I highly recommend this place. read more

Wouldn't recommend shopping here. Came in to buy a watch today, wanted to support a small business instead of buying online. I tried on 5 or 6 watches (its been a long time since I've worn them) and went to the window to look at the watches on display. As I'm walking to the front of the store the shop keeper audibly called me a "fucking asshole" thinking I was leaving. Like I took too long trying on his watches. On my way out I snapped a photo of his store and let him know I was taking the photo. He proceeded to aggressively follow me down the street to snap MY photo and get very close. For a minute I thought he was going to swing at me. Crazy. Unfortunately I wont be back, don't recommend shopping here. Seems in line with other reviews. This guy is a jerk. It sucks. Still need a watch. read more

I attempted to go to this location several times to get the hands on my watch fixed. The first few times I waited and wandered around Haight street for a few hours waiting for the location to open which it never did. When I was finally able to speak with the individual who I am guessing owns the shop my request was rebuffed. I was told the watch needed to be opened and the hands wound back manually to fix my watch. I came to find out through a quick Youtube search that the watch can easily be fixed by yourself at home within a few minutes. No opening of the watch, no tools just simply push a few buttons. Instead of taking my money which I would of gladly spent he instead took it a step further and flat out refused to even entertain the idea of assisting me. On the bright side I found out I don't need to waste money paying people to fix this particular watch anymore.....¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Overall this place is not a great place for people of African decent go into this shop. While most shops on Haight are most likely not be overly enthused about having most POC's as patrons they'll simply profile you and make you feel uncomfortable this store however will go all 1940's Mason Dixon line. There are a lot of other jewelry repair stores in The City however up until this point Haight Jewelry has gave me no reason to think this is abnormal behavior for this business. As you can see from my other reviews I have not had the most pleasant experiences lately in The Bay Area...However! I write these reviews based on my experience so that others will benefit from the experiences that I have. But always do your own research! read more

I came to this store to get a stripped screw out of a rare, vintage collectible that was worth almost $300 and had a lot of sentimental value to me. I know this type of item is outside the usual norm of watches/jewelry, but I've heard of jewelers being able to extract stripped screws from things, and the person at the store gave no indication he was uncomfortable or inexperienced doing this type of request. He did not end up getting the screw out, which was fine as I wasn't entirely sure it could be removed, but what appalled me was the rough and aggressive manner in which he treated my valuables, banging it repeatedly against his desk multiple times. Even after I told him the value of the item in hopes he would treat it more delicately, he continued to be rough with it and ripped off part of the item which had absolutely nothing to do with the original repair request. When I asked why he ripped off a chunk of the item, he just said sorry I can't fix it. He also managed to incorrectly screw the screws back, which got a second screw stuck, and he was unable to fix his mistake. He handed back the broken pieces/screws and did not offer any kind of compensation for the damages. When I did ask, he immediately got angry and defensive, calling it a cheap Chinese toy (the subtle racism of which was not lost on me... the item was not Chinese, and even if it was, assuming "that looks Asian" = Chinese = cheap isn't a good look), never mind the fact that its market value is actual quite high. He accused me of "insisting" he do the repair even though it wasn't his speciality, even though he did not once say he was uncomfortable with getting out a stripped screw, which I would have understood if he had told me upfront; instead, he just wordlessly took my item and started working on it, and the only time I asked him to continue working on it was when he jammed a second screw and I asked him to reverse his mistake. And when he asked for proof of the original value of the item, I showed him a receipt, and he paused for a long time trying to come up with an excuse, finally saying that because it was purchased one year ago he couldn't offer any compensation despite the fact that most people who go in for repairs are trying to fix old, rare, or valuable items. Overall, I found the owner to be incredibly rude, negligent, and careless. I would NOT recommend going here to fix things that you actually care about, even if it falls under his typical wheelhouse. He did not treat me or my valuables with care or respect, and now I'm left with an item that is in much worse condition than it was before I came to this store. read more

So happy this local business is here. Greg helped me out with some really friendly and helpful service. Honest and nice - great business model. Been here a couple times and this is always case. Highly recommend for watch batteries and more. read more

5-Star service! I came in with three (3!!) watches that all needed new batteries. The owner was so kind and was able to accommodate me so fast. It took him less than 10 mins to change the batteries. Charged me about $8 each, which is cheap for the service and the material. He also didn't complain or anything but just got the work done. Highly recommend for any watch issues to be fixed. Also, you're supporting a local shop. Will be back next time I need batteries changed. read more

Prompted to write a review recently when someone asked for a good place to get watch batteries replaced. Been going here for years. Primarily to buy cheap watches (I love cheap watches) and to get batteries for my existing watches. I bring in a bag full of dead battery watches (6 - 8 at a time) and 20 minutes later, I'm done. Nice guy runs the place. Just a little hole in the wall business, but my go to place for watches and batteries. read more

I used to sleep in my hoop earrings. I felt naked without them dangling from my earlobes. Despite them perpetually getting caught in sweaters and scarves - I insisted on wearing them all the time. Haight Jewelry was my go-to hoop spot here in San Francisco - after many a pair suffered a tragic fate. Since moving onto feather earrings - I haven't sported a pair of hoops in years. But since adopting my new gym bunny persona - feathers just don't seem as practical. I decided that it was time to stop into familiar Haight Jewelry for some hoop love. There wasn't much hoop love to be had. The same owner was there, and when I asked him about his hoops - he showed me a selection of thin flimsy looking sterling silver hoops. Gone were his past selection of solid bold hoops that announced themselves proudly from beneath my red hair. I looked at the prices of each. Each pair was almost fifty dollars. Far from cheap and far from the prices that I used to pay. I decided that perhaps I'm no longer a hoop girl and walked out with bare earlobes. Trust. read more

Wow..... VERY POOR SKILL. changing a watch battery is not that hard. After inserting a battery, the shop person deeply scratched the metal back of my watch and didn't even properly replace the rear plate....there is an obvious alignment of the writing on the rear plate. The scratch is deep enough that it can not be buffed out. Unprofessional, sloppy, and unconcerned by his mistake. read more

The man working in the store was EXTREMELY rude to us. He did not greet us as we walked in, which is completely fine as I'm not expecting that in every store. However, I said 'excuse me' to him 3 TIMES as I was standing right behind him because I wanted to look at an item in the glass case and he ignored me completely. Another pair of white customers (which my friend and I are not) were greeted with a smile and an immediate "Hello how are you doing?" as soon as they walked in. A bit of a stark contrast to how we're being treated, no? As the store is quite small, we moved aside for the other customers to pass, and my friend's hoodie SLIGHTLY grazed the earring display. He raised his voice at her to "BE CAREFUL" and the second time yelling very maliciously "I SAID BE CAREFUL" as we were already leaving the store. There's no need to yell at customers and I would never come back to this place if they clearly don't want business in the first place. read more

I was there to get new batteries in several watches. Nice young man. Very helpful. Reasonable prices. I urge everyone to support this local business! read more

Wow! That was amazing, in and out in 5 minutes. Replaced a watch battery in my Michael Kors watch. read more

Haight Jewelry - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

I wouldn't even give this place one star if I could. The guy who owns this place is a Class A asshole. I've shopped here a few times because of the cheap jewelery, but there's tons of other places on Haight that I can get the same stuff and don't have to be treated with disrespect. I came in today and looked around, and noticed my meter was about to run out for my car so I asked him if he had change for a dollar. Him: No. (with an attitude) Me: Not even 4 quarters? (with a smile) Him: NOOOOOOO. Smile quickly faded me: Wow, you don't have to be so mean about it. (I was shocked and appalled for being talked to this way.) Him: Get the fuck outta here! (with a shooing motion toward me) This guy sure knows how to make people not come back for more business! read more

They're lucky they have nice jewelry for relatively cheap prices. I came in with the intention of buying a necklace for myself, money in hand. I was looking around for no more than 2 minutes, asked him if I could see a tray. He responded "Do you just want to see or do you want to buy?" in such an ugly manner. I told him that I can't buy anything if I don't look at it and that shut him up for the rest of the time. On a less-than-happy day, I probably would not have had that patience ... read more

They have the most darling plastic and non-plastic rings this side of the Haight. The owner is very sweet and friendly. The first time I went were was with a friend who wanted to see if they had any nose studs which they didn't but just as we were leaving, plastic beauties caught my eye. It was hard to pick just one but I did but weeks after I felt empty without going back to see if they had more. And I did just that. I bought two more plastic rings and saw him refill the empty spots with swag from a giant bag ensuring that I'll be coming back every time I'm in the Haight. My two gal pals and I left very much satisfied and pledge to come back as well. Good stuff. Large selection of earrings, cheap sunglasses, chains and funky stuff to put on those chains as well. Only here, on this lowly Haight jewelry shop could you find pot leaf rings. read more

Look sharp for Haight Jewelry as you can easily miss this tiny Upper Haight shop. I went in to have 2 watch batteries replaced, and the owner took care of me in about 10 minutes for $13. Not bad. While I can't speak very educatedly about the quality of their earrings and such, I have a feeling that my ladyfriend would really like the assortment of jewelry. read more

I got a battery replacement for my watch which took only 5 minutes and was $7. The guy was friendly and fast. I bought a helix piercing, small gold ring for I think $6 which my piercer approved and I really like. I didn't put it in yet but definitely like the look. read more

Shop owner was very helpful in adjusting a new watch for me... He didn't even charge me to come back the second time because I'm obsessive. Great service! read more

Watch battery replacement. I came in, handed over the watch, played with my phone, heard some snap snap snaps, took my working watch back, handed over my credit card to pay $8, said thank you, and walked away. This sequence of action took 5 minutes max. read more

cheap jewelry and rude old guy with accent who cursed at me ... not charming

Just took a brand new, nice watch here to get a couple of links taken out of the metal band. I winced as I watched him hammer away at the shiny metal, but gave him the benefit of the doubt. When I tried it on, he had twisted the clasp so much that to wouldn't close properly. We could clearly see that the metal was twisted now. He said he "didn't touch that part", which is BS since the clasp worked perfectly before I handed it to him. He tried to twist it back with his hands so it closes a little better now, but it's still off kilter. And the links on the watch now have hammer dents all over them. I didn't want him to break the watch any more so I just paid him the $5 and left. Do NOT go here to get anything repaired. This guy is obviously incompetent and doesn't care about the quality of his work. read more

I went here with my bf to get links taken out of his watch. The man working behind the counter did it So fast. It only cost 5 bucks, where at other places like macy's it costs 25 or more! Sadly, they either were cash only or had a minimum for credit and we only had 4 dollars. The man was super nice and said it was okay and let us go. I love when nice things like that happen so now i need to tell everyone to go there and shop!!!!! I did notice he had a great selection of rings and cute earrings for purchase that were pretty cheap. CHECK IT OUT!!! read more

Have been looking for place to get my battery changed on my watch and was little scared when read so many bad reviews for places. I saw reviews for Haight Jewelry were good, so thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did! Very small cute store with jewelery and man fixed my watch right up and I even bought a cute ring for a total of $10.89! I will be back with all my jewelry! read more

First of all, he took one look at me and my watch (which was from Guess) and wants to charge me $8 for a battery change which would cost under $5 anywhere else. It is a simple pressure fit back and nothing fancy or complicated to it. Ok fine, I wanted it done today, so I said ok. Then he manages to scratch up the entire back of the watch and maul the corner -- not even at the dent manufactured into the back where you are supposed to remove the back! It took him three times as long as it would have taken me to do the change. On top of that, what used to be a perfectly silent watch now ticks audibly because I bet he moved around a spring improperly. Let me tell you, from someone who worked in a jewelry store for years and has changed hundreds of batteries with the proper equipment, it is clear that he does not have the proper tools to open and close even the simplest watch. Save your watch and your money and go elsewhere. read more

walked in with a couple watches, one that needed a new battery and one pricy tag heuer that i needed resized. the young guy working there was super chill and took great care of my watches. five minutes later and my fossil had a battery and the tag heuer was sized. he would only accept payment for the battery so i looked around and picked up a dope canvas band watch and a pair of earrings for my gf. will be back! read more

They cannot service water-resistant (200m TAG Heuer) dive watches and sent me to Macy's. I recommend Klotz on Market St. for more professional watch service. read more

I purchased my favorite ring from this store and lost it. When I bought a replacement ring the "stone" fell out less than an hour after purchase. When I went to return the ring to the owner, who had told me I could exchange the ring if anything went wrong, the day prior even with my receipt, he accused me of "messing with the ring" and "breaking it on purpose" I did not even want a refund just a replacement ring. Instead of even considering an exchange for another cheaply made ring he told me I needed to leave or he would call the cops. I have honestly never been treated so poorly by any business in my life. I plan on contacting the Better Business Bureau on the owner. I am absolutely disgusted read more

My friend and I came in here to look for small hoop earrings and asked the man working there to take out earrings from the case about 3 times. Afterwards my friend didn't see anything she liked so she politely said she was going to think about it and come back later. He responded, "Don't bother". Incredulous we left the store and as we left he called out after us, "Bitch!" This guy was so rude and cold the entire time we were there. I say find your jewelry somewhere else! read more
