Valeria was an amazing piercer!!! Not only did she take her time making sure each piece was lined up as I wanted them, she also made the experience as painless as possible. Really, she was so quick and made the experience super comfortable! I highly recommend her as your next piercer!!
This review is probably about a month overdue, but I was pierced for the first time by Ericka last month and she was the best piercer to have my septum and nose done by as a first timer. I initially let her know about my nervousness, and she was amazing at calming my nerves and informing me about the entire process including aftercare and what I can expect afterwards. She was very knowledgeable going into it and after the fact, and even emailed me an aftercare guide as well. I would definitely go back to her in the future, and book with Ericka if you can!
We had a very good experience getting my 15 year old pierced at this shop. It was extremely busy for a Monday night, but organized, well lit, and most importantly, clean. My teenager appreciated the same day appointment availability. Darkell was knowledgeable and professional. He took his time making sure the marks were level before performing the piercing and was thorough in explaining aftercare. I have his card for follow up questions and he even helped my daughter put proper jewelry in her self-done 2nd lobe piercing. Our appointment was only scheduled for the septum, but he pierced her bridge as well.
The only reason that I am rating 4/5 stars is because I purchased jewelry for my own lobe at a mark up and it was not the correct gauge so my $40 gem post pulled through the same night never to be seen again. If not for basically losing that money it would have been a five star experience.
I would definitely go back to this shop again for another piercing for my daughter, although I would go on a Tuesday & take advantage of their buy one get one half off piercing deal. The only hiccup we had was that my 15 year old doesn't have photo ID, so make sure that yours does & bring it if you're getting work done on a minor. We had to get creative to prove my daughter's age because birth certificate plus my id wasn't sufficient. All in all, I recommend this shop if you don't mind getting work done in a fast paced, busy environment and in an open room with many stations side by side kind of like a large hair salon.
I made an appointment for a quick jewelry purchase and had a technician put it in my nose as I haven't had anything in there for a few years (lol!) and felt safe with a professional doing it all for me. Steven (not a "ph") was an expert at taking me right to what I was looking for and helped me make decisions I was unsure of. I felt safe to trust his opinion, after all, he is the expert. I recommend making an appointment as this place fills up with walk-ins! But highly recommend!
I was pierced by Erika Vinefog, she is absolutely phenomenal. During my first appointment, she took the time with me to map out all the possible places for piercings, paying special attention to the anatomy of my ears. We ended up doing 6 lobe, 1 helix, and 1 daith piercings all in one go. Erika made the process so fun, not to mention as painless as possible. I am usually not good when needles and do not tolerate pain well in general, but Erika provided me with very detailed descriptions of what it was going to feel like step by step. This was so helpful, and SO accurate! Her technique is swift and gentle, making the entire process relaxing and fun.
Erika is an absolutely incredible piercer, besides explaining the piercing process in great detail, she provided me with a wealth of information regarding the healing process. I came back after 2 months for a check up and jewelry change, and every single piercing was healed and healthy, thanks to her guidance.
