I'm not one to write reviews, but I attended this business a few days ago (12/29/24 around 11am)…read moreand still cannot shake how unprofessional my experience was. I came in with a simple request, I lost the back of my nostril piercing and needed a replacement. I even called ahead with what my problem was and they said they could help me. To start, they didn't ask for my ID once, and I am a 20 y/o 5ft woman, I look pretty young and am agreeable and shy. They told me that it probably wasn't a good idea to do the stud, because they weren't sure if my top would fit into their backings (threadless nostril jewelry is pretty standard but okay) and that they don't sell the backs separately (fair enough... I believed that they were trying to save me money). So they offered a hoop. I've been interested in a hoop for awhile so I hesitantly agreed and asked for the smallest option. It looked pretty big in my hand, so I asked again if they were sure the stud would be a bad idea (they said yes) and if they have a smaller hoop. I was brought into the back room where I said again the hoop seems too big for what I'm wanting, but the piercer just wanted to get it done. No offer to hold up a mirror to test the jewelry, which should be the bare minimum. After an aggressive insertion, I look in the mirror and burst into tears. It was too big and bleeding and hurt so bad. So then magically, they offered to sell a cheap stud to me (which is all I was wanting in the first place). She takes out the hoop, and tries to shove in the back of the stud without properly threading it (it obviously didn't work with more blood and pain), until she tried again with the threading. Of course, my gem fit perfectly in the backing. And of course, I still had to pay for both the hoop, stud, and their time. They just wanted to make a sale on the $30 dollar hoop instead of the $15 stud. Even grosser is beforehand they said that doing the hoop would be "saving me money" since they don't sell the backings of studs separately from the gem or ball (even though come to find it was half of what the hoop was). I originally felt that it was my fault my experience was so traumatic, but it is the professional's responsibility to make their customer comfortable and confident in their decision, especially when they are clearly nervous/hesitant/asking for other options repeatedly. And when you are in a line of work working with people's bodies. In conclusion, it was rushed, unnecessarily painful, unprofessional, expensive, and most of all deceptive. I feel violated. And to top it all off, they threw the 14k gold earring I had in my nose as a placeholder when I arrived in the garbage (she fished it out of there for me, but come on). Do better.

I emailed them to inquire & then easily set up an appt. t I never got through when I would call but they were easy to communicate via email. There was a mixup with my pharmacy to fill the Lidocaine & I didn't realize it until I went to pick it up on the day before which was a Sunday. Skin & Style was closed so I left a voicemail & sent an email. I got a call back first thing Monday morning & the rep was able to straighten things out with the pharmacy. I was able to get the prescription in time to prep my baby for her piercing. The actual appt was so easy & my sweet girl barely cried. The nurse did a great job in administering the piercings skillfully & swiftly. She even kept our baby relaxed which kept our group of 5 in good spirits ! (My mom & sister came to cheer our sweet girl on during this momentous occasion!). She showed my husband and I how to clean them daily & gave us the cleaning care package. It's been 19days and her ears are healing beautifully. She doesn't even touch them. Perfect timing!

The service here was by far the worst I have experienced during a piercing. I felt unwelcome and…read moreuncomfortable throughout the entire process. The costumer service was extremely poor. While I was doing the paperwork before getting pierced the two employees were very rude to me and my guardian. They made no effort to make me feel safe during the process. Both of them never made eye contact with us. Also, one of them was very uneducated on what to do. I asked for a "mid" which they told me was a cartilage piercing. The employee marked my ear and then proceeded to prepare the gun. During the piercing I was never told when it would happen she just did it. Afterwards I was unhappy with the result but felt so unwanted that I simply walked away in tears. The piercing was only on my lob and not even on the marking she had made. I would not recommend to anyone.

I had misplaced my warranty receipt for a belly ring that I had purchase at the Wheaton location and thought I'd have to take another day to resolve my dilemma but through her excellent customer service she handled the problem. I love Pagoda and purchase all of my body jewelry from their locations. Their warranty is excellent and definitely recommend it for the few extra bucks especially on the expensive white gold pieces. I've been one of their customer for over 4 years now and never thought to leave a review for any other location (Montgomery & Wheaton) but this one representative certainly made the process seamless. I appreciate her efforts in making my experience worth wild and will continue to remain a customer. Thank You.

*Oh!?, small disclaimer. I was wrong in the order of my second and third tattoo. Ambrotos Tattoos…read moreis number 3 while Pop's Tattoo is number 2 tattoo I received. Not sure how I mixed this up. I remember I was devoriced or on my way to getting one when I got the third tattoo* 10/13/20 This Tattoo place use to be located at 940 bonifant st, silver spring, md 20910.  This is the tattoo location I went to incase this place does not remember me. (I will add my photo after work today) However, as Silver Spring has changed and grown from the hoodlum it was, to the new upper class area, many businesses have moved to other locations or shutdown for good. Ambrotos Tattoos in Silver Spring is where I aquired my second tattoo.  I showed up to this place on a spur of the moment... okay I called to find out when the opened on a certain day ahead of time. Anyhow, I showed up with no real preparation on what I wanted.  I looked around for awhile bouncing around ideas, until I found a picture of fairly with her wings spread. The idea of having another fox on my upper arm  came to mind.  This fox would on mountain top with a few apples near it. The fox is reaching for another apple. There would be a waterfall near it too. Waterfalls are something I have always liked since I was a kid. The tattoo artist I believe had red hair and was cool dude. He had a lot of patience with what I wanted to get done.  Any tattoo artist will tell you this is serious life choice. Once the tattoo is on your skin, removing it can be more costly than keeping it. Can be painful and unsightly  to remove it too. Both he and I understood this without having to say anything about that. As we talked, I found out he once worked at a tattoo place called Inkers Tattoo.  I found out he trained a girl...woman  named Ashley. (I HOPE I GOT HER NAME RIGHT) I did get the feeling they may have had a falling out.   Nevertheless,   I found it interesting that the person giving me my second tattoo would be the trainer of the person who gave me my first tattoo. Watching the set up of clean and sterile equipment. I watched as the needle scraped against my skin.  Personally the pain was pretty much nonexistent.  However as the needle  crept up to my chest, I could feel how painful it would be if I did get a chest tattoo. The mythical animal I call The Bellfox  is rarly seen by people with its wings.    The whole process of getting this tattoo was about 2 hours. The shading wasn't bad either.   The healing process wasn't as bad thos time around, because I now knew what to expect.  A+D First Aid Skin Ointment helped a great deal. I also used lotion, but I won't say which kind. The tattoo artist  at whichever place you go to will advise you what to get.   Your paying good money to get a tattoo from them so listing to their advise on the healing process is advised.   Not to jump off topic, but I will for a moment.  A guy once told me he had gotten a tattoo once. He later on that day went for a swim in a swimming pool and list all the color off of his tattoo. The guy had to get his tattoo redone again.  He was lucky his tattoo did not get infected too. I remember the guy telling me that if I ever get a tattoo, I should listen to what they say about the healing process and don't be a moron like him. Well I listen to what the tattoo artist told me and the itchy feeling of my arm/shoulder healed in no time.  I would like to thank this guy for the tattoo this guy did. If there was anything I would want changed about the tattoo,  it would be to add more water. Maybe one day I might have the artwork on both my tattoos updated with more water, but we will have to see. Maybe if I winner $100,000.00 I'll do it.
