    Super clean and easy process. Made me feel comfortable and helped me make decisions. Definitely recommend

    Such a great experience! Way better than the gun piercing you get at the malls. I can't go back to the gun after this experience. Already planning my next one.

    TLDR: Externally threaded, stainless steel jewelry, the wrong piercing style for my anatomy, and discounts offered in exchange for reviews. I originally left a positive review because the piercing itself was quick and Ashley was friendly. Unfortunately, after a follow-up with my usual piercing shop, I felt like I needed to update my review. I came in about 3 weeks ago to have my navel re-pierced. Ever since then, it's been red, angry, and developed an irritation bump. Turns out, I was pierced with externally threaded stainless steel jewelry. I honestly assumed it would've been implant-grade titanium. Piercing with externally threaded jewelry can cause more trauma because those jagged threads literally have to go through a fresh piercing. I also wasn't given much of a choice when it came to jewelry. I was taken back to a private room, the piercer pulled out a bag of jewelry, and that was basically it. The first one had a huge bottom ball. I wanted something more discreet, so I asked if there was anything smaller. They pulled out another bag that was only slightly smaller, so we just went with that. There wasn't really any further discussion about jewelry options or materials. I had previously been pierced with a floating navel, but since this piercer told me she had two years of licensed experience, checked my anatomy, and still chose a traditional curved barbell, I trusted her judgment. I later learned that my navel collapses and that a floating navel is actually the appropriate piercing style for my anatomy. I should've just gone back to my regular piercing shop instead of coming here on impulse (I was bored and in the area). Another thing that should've been my first red flag...while I was waiting in the lobby, I overheard a receptionist on the phone confirming that they did dahlia piercings. As soon as she hung up, she turned to her coworker and asked, "What's a dahlia piercing?" Her coworker had to go ask someone in the back, and then they ended up calling the client back to tell them they actually don't do dahlia piercings. The universe gave me a sign and I ignored it. Then, at checkout, I was offered $5 off for leaving one review or $10 off for leaving two reviews. Since my piercing was already done, I figured, sure, why not? I love discounts. But now I wonder how many of these good reviews are because of the discounts. I mean...who's going to write a negative review and then show it to the person standing right in front of them to get the discount? Let's be fr. I'll also own my part in this. After hearing them not know what a dahlia piercing was, I still went through with my appointment. After seeing that my only jewelry choices were basically "big" and "slightly less big," I still went through with it. That's on me. In the future, I'm going to be more cautious with where I get pierced. Between using externally threaded stainless steel jewelry, choosing jewelry that wasn't appropriate for my anatomy, incentivizing reviews with discounts, and not even knowing whether they offered a piercing they had literally just confirmed over the phone...I don't trust the level of experience or the quality of care here. I won't be coming back. I've since switched to an implant-grade titanium floating navel with discs on the ends (so they're less likely to get caught on things), and my piercing is already feeling better.

Despite coming to this business (and their new location after the move from downtown SJ) multiple times with wonderful experiences, what pushed me to write this review today was the fact that I was unlucky enough to break my cartilage piece but lucky enough to save and keep it to bring it in. I came in with the broken piece and the associate explained that due to the jewelry company's bad customer service, they're no longer working with them. Instead of saying "too bad, there's nothing we can do", the associate worked with me to get credit that applied to a new piece. I feel like most shops would not provide any help in a situation like this. Already obsessed with their work, service, and inventory to begin with, this truly solidified me as a lifelong customer and champion of Make Me Holey.
