I've gotten 5 piercings from Jori in the last year. Always a great experience. She's knowledgeable and helpful when deciding placement, style, healing, etc. A little pricey but that's because if the quality you receive both for materials and experience. You won't regret going here. read more

Jori is a wonderful! She is so kind and patient. She pierced my nose about 14 years. I needed to get my pierce nose out due to a medical procedure I was having done. Came back next day to get my nose pierced again. The office space is clean and relaxing. Jori is the best piercing place in town. read more

Jori is great! She does a great job making you feel comfortable and putting you at ease. She gives great, detailed instructions for aftercare. I drove all the way from Beaverton to get my nose pierced by her, and I have absolutely no regrets. read more

Jori Zan's Body Piercing - My 13 year old getting her first cartilage piercing. Was a wonderful experience! - Piercing Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Jori is unbelievably beautiful, kind, patient, and talented! Go to her shop, you will not be disappointed!

I tried 3 times to get my piercing jewelry put back in and was never able to get in. Once was on a lunch break at 1pm and only 1 person got in during the hour I waited. You take a number and wait outside for your number to come up. No appointments available and only open noon to 5pm. read more

I waiting over an hour the day prior to get my daughter's ears pierced. The numbers were not changing so I left and decided to return today before it opened to get the first number, which I did. Owner opened her door at 1145 (instead of noon) and because my daughter and husband were going to be there at noon I let another mom and daughter go first. Come 1230, after waiting patiently, the number changes to 3, obviously a mistake because we are now #2. So when I go to the front door, I ring the bell and no one comes out as we are waiting standing in the rain. Finally, I knock on the door and owner comes out and tells me that she has decided to also do work on the mother of the teenager and that she has skipped over us and that it will be another 30 min. No apologies and boom- closed the door in our face! I have never had that happen. The nerve not only of the owner but of the mother who I let go before me, knowing that while they are getting pierced we are waiting outside in our car. Shame on both of them. How can a person who is so rude and disrespectful, have a business. My daughter is completely heartbroken because she witnessed the owner react so horribly and I am mad of how all of this made her feel, our wasted time, and of humanity who today failed us. read more

I have had some pretty big changes in my life and after some careful thought, I decided that I wanted to get my ear pierced. Being a pretty straight and narrow, conservative kind of guy, I was sort of at a loss. Yes, I know an ear lobe piercing isn't that big a deal, but it was for -me-, see? No less than three people independently recommended Jori Zan's shop. I got there about fifteen minutes after it opened on a Wednesday, and there were already three customers ahead of me. The guy that helped me was very quiet and businesslike, and reading the other reviews, it seems like that's just who he is. He wasn't particularly helpful, but he knew exactly what was going on. I told him I wanted a lobe done and that I was going to put in a black diamond stud eventually. He went right to a section, pointed out a black stud, and that was, well, exactly what I wanted. He didn't try going on about this, that, or the other and I, personally, appreciate that. I did have to wait a little while. The entire time I was there, people were coming in. It was pretty busy, which says a lot for a business. Also what says a lot is that she's been operating for 18 years now. So when I got in, with Jori, I sort of opened up about why I was getting a piercing. It was oddly uplifting to have her acknowledge and applaud the things I've done and how I was going about modifying my life. She was incredibly easy to talk to and super friendly. She explained the entire process, got everything prepared, and marked the spot. She then put on a temporary ring and had me look at it to see if I liked the placement. She asked me if I wanted it moved at all, but my response was something along the lines of, "You've been doing this much longer than me, I'll trust your judgement." We spent so much time talking about various things, when she had me lean back, I figured she was just making more adjustments. Now, the thing I hate most about Doctor's appointments isn't getting the shot, it's the anticipation. I get really annoyed with nurses who say, "Okay, now, this might pinch a little, here it comes, okay..." and who create a big lead-up. I don't want that. Just stick me, I can take it. I swear. It's the thinking about it that I don't like. So next thing I know, there's some pressure on my ear, and she's put the heated-up hollow needle through. No pierce gun for this woman, she does it the right way, which is why I went here specifically. After it was done, she asked, quote, "Do you love it?" I did. She then spent some time going over cleaning and healing procedures for the next while. She suggested different ways I could go with different pieces of jewelery and suggested I come back with any questions, concerns, or needs. Overall, I couldn't have been happier to go here, for a very unfamiliar and alien process. It couldn't have been easier. I don't know how much these things usually cost, but for the piercing, the stud, and a bottle of organic, hemp-based (ha!) anti-allergenic, hippie soap, it was around 56 bucks. I might have gotten off cheaper going to Claire's in the mall, but it so totally would not have been worth it. read more

I've known JORI for over 23 years now. She has always done all my piercings I have. I've never had any problems with my piercings from her. She has and always gives great advice on piercings and how to properly take care of them. Her business has always been clean, safe, and always very professional. She's never let me down. I would only trust her and her business. She truly is the very best in the world. I would recommend her to everyone who wants piercings. She's got a great variety in jewelry to choose from. Jori is friendly with a great personality and is easy to talk to about any type of piercings you might be interested in getting going to her would be the best decision you'll ever make. read more

She really is that good! Had to re pierce my ears from covid jewelry neglect. Upon entering the store for my piercing appointment we were welcomed by Jori and immediately felt relaxed. Nice jewelry selection too! read more

Jori Zan's Body Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Jori is AWESOME! And super sweet. Got some jewelry changed, she helped me find the best fit for the piercing. She also removed my old, super irritated rook piercing that I had been trying to heal for years now. She suggested that taking it out was the best course of action, and gave me a recommendation for new piercings when I'm ready. I will definitely be back! read more

I got my 2nd lobe piercing here and they were super nice! Everything is very clean, they use surgical steel earrings so there is no chance of allergic reactions. My ears are now fully healed and the piercings are symmetrical! read more

I brought my daughter to Jori for an ear cartilage piercing. I can't say enough good about our experience. The shop is extremely clean and bright. The variety of jewelry was impressive. My daughter found just what she wanted. Jori is a doll. She was knowledgable, kind, informative, & thorough in explaining the process and after care. She really took her time with us and answered any questions. We enjoyed her very much. She is great at what she does. I highly recommend her! read more

I got my first piercing here when I was 16. I've been a strong, happy, always pleased customer now for 17 years. Eight piercings now and counting currently. I would never go anywhere else and I ALWAYS send anyone looking for a piercing to Jori. The whole atmosphere is so energetic and amazing customer care!! And you know you'll walk out happy & satisfied with what you chose and the quality of care you received!! I'll be coming in soon for another piercing very soon!! Thanks Jori!! Katie Munson read more

JoriZan's is the only place I will trust to pierce myself or any family members. She is sooooo kind, patient, super professional and sanitary! read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else in town to get pierced besides this great place. I brought my daughter in to get her 2nd holes done in her ears and though I haven't been here in years it reminded me of all the times my friends and I got pierced at Jori Zans years ago. This place has been around a long time and I think that goes to show what a great business this is. It's always kept very clean and sterile and I like how there is a separate room where the piercing takes place so everyone isn't watching. My daughter was nervous and Jori did a great job being patient with her and explaining what she was doing step by step. And my daughter barely felt a thing. We were explained in good detail how to take care of the piercing as it heals and told if their was any issues to just call. We left very happy with our experience and will for sure come back. read more

Jori Zan's Body Piercing - Daughter got second holes pierced, Jori was great. - Piercing Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Jori and Troy were both super friendly and easy to get in contact with. Jori is so unique and friendly and I instantly connected with her. She did a fantastic thorough job on mine and my friends piercing and they both look so good! It is very clean and sterile but still has a warm inviting feel. I have been pierced at 4 different places now and hers was by far the best. 10/1 recommend. read more

I have just had my septum adorned by Jori and I am truly happy with the outcome! From start to finish, the appointment setting process is easy to manage, and the reminder texts are great for a forgetful person like myself. I was assisted in choosing the correct size ring for my face and nose, and Jori was so bubbly and sweet! She's very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable with my decision. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Jori Zan is great, but do not come if you have anything else to do that day. We waited a long time (over an hour). There were two people infront of us, but then two more joined them, so we waited over an hour. (Arrived at 3:30, not seen until 4:35 out at 5:10.) Our kiddo missed most of her ballet practice. Had the staff given us an ETA for Jori, we would have come back another day. But we had no idea how long the wait would be until after we paid and we were told 15 minutes (about every half hour). UPDATE: Giving Jori Zan another star due to the quality of work and the cleanliness of the procedure and room. read more

I highly recommend Jori Zan's for any piercing. I got my triple lobes done by Kayelyn and she did an excellent job of explaining what she was doing the entire time. She was very kind and gave me plenty of information about the piercing process, the type of jewelry I picked, aftercare instructions, and the placement of my piercings. She answered every question I had and made me feel comfortable. The piercing room was clean and well sterilized, which made me feel comfortable about where I was being pierced. Upon leaving I was given a list of aftercare instructions for at home use. I was very satisfied with the way my piercings turned out, and will more than likely return to Jori Zan's for my next piercing. read more

Jori Zan's Body Piercing - triple lobes done by Kayelyn - Piercing Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I'm not an ass kisser so I'm 100% honest here. The guy who checks you in kinda intimidates me because he never smiles or chuckles, but I've gotten 7 piercings done by Jori and each time it's so precise and she focuses like no other. I absolutely love her, she even asked me how my other piercings healed when I recently saw her. She's fun, super nice, and is so chill she just makes you feel comfortable. Love her. read more

Highly recommend Friendly and extremely helpful Great people Planning to return in the future read more

I have never seen anyone else but Jori and some dude (her beau, maybe?) working here, and that tells me loads about the business. Although the dude is a bit standoffish and unyielding to my humor, I like him for his no-nonsense help. Jori is the best piercer I have ever encountered, even though she's never pierced me. Unlike the ruffians at other, more "hard core", body adjustment businesses, Jori is gentle. I had her help me out when I stretched my lobes (just a bit!), and she was UH-MAZ-ING. The selection of body jewelry beats out every other place in town, and would rival some of the more famous jewelers if they sold diamonds. My only complaint is the wait time to be helped if you happen upon the business right after school lets out or on the weekends. You'll find the place overloaded with teenagers who just can't make up their minds about what they want to buy. As such, they end up monopolizing Jori and that dude. read more

I cannot speak to the quality of piercing at Jori Zans, only to the terrible customer service I received. I went in inquiring about the cost of a couple of different piercings, and decided to just purchase a conch hoop I could use as a pierceless cuff. A male sales associate confidently sold me a hoop. Upon getting home and putting it on, the diameter was about 2x too large so that it hung down along where my second lobe piercing is and looked ridiculous. I immediately turned around to exchange it for the correct size (I was gone ~20 minutes), and was rudely informed that he would not exchange the hoop for the correct size because "once the jewelry leaves, it is un-returnable." This would be understandable if a) he had informed me of the store policy before I left, or b) bothered checking to see if was the right size before selling it to me. I couldn't try it on before buying because it was in a sterilized package. Furthermore, the guy was a condescending jerk. Don't buy jewelry unless you know it's absolutely right. If I lived in town, I would discourage anyone I know from patronizing this business as long as that sales associate still works there. That said, I'm sure the piercing services are just fine. read more

Nice clean place, but the piercer didn't seem to be very friendly towards me. As she was marking my ear for my piercing, we realized that it couldn't be placed as I had imagined due to my ear anatomy. I apologized and decided that didn't want to go through with the piercing if I wasn't going to be happy with the placement. She didn't seem very responsive or understanding and asked me why I thought it would be possible to place the industrial the way I wanted in an negative and accusatory tone. She seemed annoyed and told me, "Well, it will be $10 for the cost of setup." She did suggest a couple other ear piercings and asked if I wanted to get them done instead. *shrug* I just wasn't getting a good vibe from her; she just didn't seem too genuine or interested in me and my piercing. Anyway, she seems very experienced and competent (went to Fakir School of Piercing and sometimes teaches there). I guess our personalities didn't quite mesh? I prefer Emily at Addictions who seemed more responsive to my needs and was genuinely interested in me and making my piercing look great. Jori's does have a good selection of body jewelry and I like that they custom bend their jewelry to fit each person. I'm happy with the quality nose stud I purchased from them. read more

Brought my 5 year old here to get her ears pierced (after researching several different places between Portland and Salem). Everyone kept referring me to Jori, and now I can see why. She was incredible! She was so good with my daughter. She kept her calm, and was very encouraging. After the first ear, my daughter was crying, and Jori let her stand up and look in the mirror to distract her, then gave her time to relax before doing the second ear. Jori took her time with us to ensure a positive experience despite a full waiting room. Jori does all of the piercings and they only offer walk in services but it's worth the wait. The atmosphere is calm, professional and clean. Perfect for kiddos and adults alike. read more

Jori Zan's Body Piercing - Piercing Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Wow wow! What a wonderful experience. Thought I was just going to pop in and out for a quick piercing, but my best friend and I were pleasantly surprised. Jori is SO sweet and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable, kept me informed of what was going on, and made sure I was comfortable and happy with everything. Will certainly come back from LA to see her should I need another piercing!! THANK YOU! read more

Omg I love Jori. I love this shop. I have about 25 piercings that I have got at various places and this is by far my favorite my favorite and now go to place to go. Jori makes you feel so comfortable getting pierced and she is sooooo nice and so is everyone who works here. All the piercings are perfectly placed and heal wonderfully! I would never get pierced anywhere else. read more

Only profession Perrier I've ever gone to. Had a great experience. Very friendly. Done quickly. Has lots of jewelry to choose from.

I'm a nurse who's been through various piercings and shops and I couldn't have been happier with Jori. She's down-to-earth, professional, and clearly knows her sh*t. Her studio is clean and clearly well taken care of. She explained every step and maintained a clean environment through the piercing experience. I'm so happy to be able to support this woman-owned business and I'll eagerly send friends and family here for as long as Jori's around. read more

Jori is an awesome piercer! Went in with my best friend to get some sensitive piercings done and she was fantastic at keeping us calm and informed. She is available for aftercare consults weeks after the fact, but she is super sociable, extremely friendly, and skilled. Highly highly recommend! read more

I called Jori Zan's to make an appointment to have my daughters ears pierced, she said they don't do appointments but we could just walk in. So we showed up, checked in, waited for an hour or two as new people were walking in and being taken back before us. I finally asked when she would be able to get to us, she said it definitely wouldn't be today because she had 17 people on the list that were "showing back up". I guess if you put your name down on a list you can leave, come in later and be guaranteed to skip in front of people who had just walked in? How much longer were they going to let us sit there thinking we were going to be next? Also, it would've cost almost $90 for a basic earlobe piercing. We went to Claire's and were out in 10 minutes with real 14k gold jewelery for HALF the price. They were quick, clean, professional and affordable... Unlike Jori Zan's. read more

I have a lot of piercings, and have been pierced by multiple people, some were not so good, some good, and some were really great. But now I have finally found my piercing guru-- Jori! She is hands down, my absolute favorite piercer that I've ever encountered! She is very professional and incredibly skilled, plus I always enjoy chatting with her about non-piercing related topics. She makes suggestions tailored to your specific anatomy, and I trust her judgement. In my case, we've come up with a game plan for my next few piercings that I know that I want based on healing and what would look good on me. In addition to her skill level, the quality of jewelry offered is extremely important!! She sells top of the line jewelry and if you don't see exactly what you want in the displays, you can have pieces ordered specifically for you. Plus she is APP certified, something I always look for when I am considering a piercer. Also of note, her studio is the cleanest piercing studio I've ever been in. It's tastefully decorated and has a calm, open and airy feeling, which I think makes it a non-intimidating and relaxing environment to be pierced in. So basically, don't even consider other piercing studios in town, go straight to Jori! I promise you will be in the best hands!! read more

I hate giving out too many 5 star reviews but my daughter and I had a great time here yesterday. We came in Saturday just after noon to get my youngin's nose pierced and were instantly greeted by two smiling beauties - snow white and swiss miss. Rachel and Jori were both friendly, professional and fun. The place is immaculate and Jori did a fantastic job making my daughter comfortable. This is the only place to go if you ever want to get any holes poked in your body. read more

I don't waste my time here anymore. They're never open when they say they are. Instead of actually doing her job, Jori closes shop to go out and play instead and when you drive out of the way to have something done, it's half likely it'll be closed DESPITE the hours saying it's supposed to be open! I'd then give my business to the best, Emily, at Addictions. Unfortunately, she's no longer there, but still the best in the business! I still go to Addictions and anywhere else but here. Why? Because this place has screwed not only me, but family and friends over far too many times. It's UNACCEPTABLE business behavior! I'm surprised she still has a business. read more

Well I have to say I am so amazingly impressed with the customer service I received today. I know that her shop keeps similar hours to the salon industry. I was driving by to go to an out of the way beauty supply and decided to stop for a nose hoop I have been wanting. Jori Zan's was closed but there was an employee inside. He answered my knock. He let me in and measured my previous piercing and sold me my hoop during closed hours. EXEMPLARY CUSTOMER SERVICE. YAY for me and kudos to this shop. Jori has helped me with healing my piercings and I am over the moon with gratitude for the service I received today. Thank you so much! read more

Jori is amazing. The shop is so clean and the selection is amazing. I live in Las Vegas now, and still have my family go to Jori's to buy jewelry for me. No one in Las Vegas has the tension-set studs in the size I want. I have looked for 2 years. I refer everyone to Jori Zan's. If you want a clean, professional shop with a great selection of jewelry, this is the place. read more
