After the…read moreuntimely passing of our father, we wanted to get a small tattoo that said "Love, Dad" in his handwriting. After some research, we decided on Sacred Diamond. Great decision. We had Steven and he was friendly, professional, and very thorough with us. The atmosphere in the shop was laid back yet professional, and everything was very clean and sanitary. Steven did a great job on both of us and we love our new tattoos. If you are considering getting a tattoo and don't know where to go, I'd definitely suggest here. They are busy though, so you'll need an appointment.

Well it's actually a funny story,…read more Many years ago when I was just a small infant my mother decided she wanted to get my ears pierced. Every time I ask her who did she go to for the piercing, she just says "the doctors". Well whoever the "doctors" were completely did a lopsided job. I was always insecure when wearing earrings and never wore them because my right ear's whole was way too high then the proper position. Kids in school would always ask me why my earrings were lopsided. Because of this I haven't worn earrings in years. I tried correcting the imbalance of my ear piercings a few years ago by trying to get a double piercing. It was successful for a bit, but a few days in I had to take them out because my right ear was trying to catch an infection. On my 30 hour layover in Des Moines Iowa my coworker wanted to get his ear pierced, and this brought up unfinished business between me and my lopsided ear holes. I decided to go with my coworker and try one more time to correct my ears. We made no previous reservations, we came as walk-ins and we had to wait about 10-15 minutes for Abriana our piercer to finish up with a few clients. Once she was finished she came up to us, asked us what we needed and then helped us pick out some earrings. After that she took us to the room to get our piercing done. I went first. I explained my whole dilemma and I felt that my concerns were taken seriously. She took her time with measuring my ear and deciding where to put the second holes. On the left ear she pierced above the original hole, and on the right ear she pierced below the original hole (because that was the hole that was too high). When she pierced me she did it with a needle and not the piercing gun. She said the needle does way less damage on the skin tissue, and therefore allows for a better recovery process. She explained to me just before piercing me that I would need to inhale, and then when I exhale she will pierce me. I appreciated this because I knew what to expect, I also think the breathing method help to make it a little less painful. She was very friendly and super professional. I would definitely recommend her as well as this shop. I'm actually surprised at the reviews here on Yelp. Granted a lot of them are outdated. This place gets great reviews on Google, and I can vouch for those reviews. It's now going on a week and a half and my ears are going strong. No signs of infection to be seen. If you are looking for a professional place to get a piercing, Lucky Gal is the place to go!

My first visit to this location today with my girlfriend. We had booked an appointment a couple of…read moredays ago by phone to get pedicures. We were greeted immediately and sat in the large leather seats (with personal back massager) after picking out a color from the large assortment of options. They were busy due to homecoming this weekend, but everyone was very polite. The owner introduced herself and there was a variety of different people and ages there being assisted. I was left to soak for about 10 minutes while my attendant finished the nails of another customer, but I was not in a hurry so I was fine waiting. One reason I do not frequent nail salons, is because of some bad experiences I have had in the past with the place not being clean or having the attendants speak their own language very loudly the entire time (and it seemed like they were talking about their customers too). Well, each of the attendants spoke English at Tips & Toes and occasionally spoke Vietnamese between themselves. I never had the feeling they were talking poorly about anyone and I had a fun time visiting with my friend and my attendant Anna in a clean environment. I even decided to get a manicure at the last minute and I am looking forward to returning for my touch ups. Even my honey said my nails look great. If you are looking for a nice local place to do your nails, give TIPS & TOES SALON a try.

I swung through, told him what I wanted, gave him a few pics and ideas because I wanted a hodgepodge of different tats I've seen. Obviously you give the artist time to draw up the mix between your ideas and their own art. He was very informative, I had lots of questions about foot tattoos, (do they fade, rub off, what's good placement) I'm a high energy talkative gal and I have tendencies to be repetitive when I'm anxious. He was very chill, laid back and even caught my off the cuff joking. I made my appointment, confident in his abilities, he was referred to me by a friend. A few days later, bam, art looks perfect...let's do this. He was professional, great mannerisms, thoughtful about my comfort. The coloring is perfect, the script/font is exactly how I asked (please use the font you feel your best at). The shadowing, crisp lines. It's just wonderful! I'll never get another tattoo from anyone else. Not ever. I had a little $ left over in the gift cards, so right then and there he retouched a small previous tattoo done years ago by a tattoo parlor now out of business. I'm so excited, I can't wait for my next one already! Thanks Pink Elephant and a special thank you to BJ!

Although, I bought the jewelry from here in which the top screw in part kept falling out, even from just walking/laying down which resulted in the whole thing coming out and me having to go to another piercing shop to get it replaced.

Didn't really have much of an explanation other than, "IDK, that is just not gonna happen". This place is good for piercings but a little unprofessional when it came to customer service.
