I called early on Memorial Day to see if they accepted walk ins, and they said that while they do…read moretake walk in's, today would be busy, and they recommended making an appointment. It was quick and easy to make an appointment on their website, and it didn't require a security deposit either. I arrived to get my conch piercing at 5:30 pm and I was out by 6 pm. I was a little nervous and had lots of questions about the piercing itself and the after care. I also had not gotten a piercing in years, so I was worried it would be painful. They were kind and allowed my two friends to come to the back with me to hold my hand (I know... I'm a scaredy cat). Mitch walked me through everything that was going to happen- for example, "okay, you're gonna feel a small pinch first and then you'll feel some pressure." He also said that my only job was to keep breathing. He had me take one deep breath in and then exhale out right as he did the piercing, too. As you can tell, the team is very patient and kind here. This is a great spot for anxious girlies or for your first time getting a piercing. Their piercing and jewelry pricing is all fair. My conch piercing costed $45 plus the 14K gold jewelry I chose. Unlike other shops, they had a huge selection of yellow gold and rose gold options that were actually cute- flowers, stars, moons, etc. On average, I saw the stud earrings were about $60-170 each. They also tallied up my total prior to actually getting the piercing, so there weren't any surprises at the end when I paid. They sent me home with a detailed after care guide too. I've already told friends and family about this shop being a great option for them when they come visit Utah.

I am still reeling from the wonderful experience I had with Matt at Abyss earlier today. I came in…read morewith helix snakebites in mind but not exactly knowing which piercing(s) I wanted, and seeking feedback on how to build out my stack based on my ear anatomy. Matt offered a variety of options and gave me some ideas I had not considered, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I appreciated that he was not pushy about any of the ideas. He pointed out that my outer conch provided a unique surface area that would feature snake bites, a location I had not considered but ultimately loved. The piercings themselves were minimally painful, and I was so impressed by how Matt ensured safety and cleanliness throughout the process. I will definitely be returning to Abyss for any additional piercings in my future! Thanks again for your time and thoughtfulness, Matt.

In my opinion though, the best customer service comes after the initial piercing. A few weeks after your piercing, they will text and check up to make sure everything is going well. One of my piercings had to be taken out (my fault, not theirs) and they were super helpful for the entire process. They responded to my texts promptly and let me make same day or next day appointments to check out my piercing. They told me what I was doing wrong and switched the earring to one that could better fit the swelling. I ended up taking the piercing out because I didn't want to deal with the swelling anymore but if I had stuck with it, I could have gotten it down with the help from the piercers at Iris. That experience alone has made me want to come back to Iris. The only downside, in my opinion, is that you have to get pierced with a piece of jewelry purchased at Iris. They have a large variety of jewelry that you can be pierced with, which is good and they offer a few on the cheaper side. You just can't bring in your own jewelry to get pierced with unless it was previously purchased from them. This makes the piercing more expensive so just keep this in mind. If you're swapping out a piercing you can bring whatever jewelry you want. The shops itself is clean, calm, and has a good feel to it. There's lots of lights and piercers are available to help you through every step of the process. Overall, I'd highly recommend getting pierced at Iris. While it's more expensive than other places, the after care customer service and the service in store makes it totally worth it.

They have a wide selection of jewelry to choose from. They are by appointment, which is fine, but I was able to secure one same day. It was easy to find street parking and find the studio itself. 5/5 stars for me, no complaints. I was there for probably no more than 15 minutes. I believe they have a system where they follow up with you and see how you're doing, which is neat.

He made her laugh, walked her through all the instructions and made her feel so comfortable. He was so kind and funny as well. She was nervous, but he made her feel so safe and empowered her to speak up and be in control. If she was ever uncomfortable or decided she didn't want to get her ears pierced, he made sure she knew that was okay! The studio space was beautiful, and the whole entire staff made her feel so welcomed. She got a snack before she went in, and got to pick a prize when she finished. Thank you so much to the team for an amazing experience. I would recommend Bear for anyone who is looking to get a piercing, but especially anyone who has kiddos who want a piercing. They focus on quality and care and safety of piercings here - as they were walking us through the aftercare steps I realized I've never taken care of a piercing the correct way! I will never go anywhere else moving forward. Thanks to your amazing team!

The worker today was a total brat. First of all, we got there at 11:30 and she was still trying to get things organized and set up, she had plenty of time to do that before we got there, unless she came in late. And she didn't even acknowledge we existed and then walked right past us and went upstairs to the food court without even saying anything like "excuse me, sorry I'll be right back". We waited for a few minutes and she never came back so we went to get a pretzel. When we came back and hour later she still didn't acknowledge us as we stood around the counter looking at the earrings we wanted. I had my mask pulled down to my chin because I was eating and drinking and she rudely said "can you pull your mask up?" I said "sorry I was eating" she said "yeah well you're breathing all over my counter" so I walked away and she irritably started wiping down the counter where I was standing. She just totally lost all of our business that's for sure. You don't treat customers that way.
