    My snakebites are too wide in my opinion and only looks good here cause this filter narrows the shape of my face.
    Zasia D.

    So I have A LOT of history with this place. This is, unfortunately, the most accessible place for me to go for piercings. Let me start off by saying, I've gotten my naval pierced, my monroe, my septum, my nipples and more recently my snake bites done here. My Monroe closed up twice while trying to put in new jewelry, after having them in for months. My nipple rings never healed after 5 months so I took them out. My most recent snake bites are not placed properly and do not compliment my lips at all, whereas my friend got his done and his look way better than mine but was done by a different person. I didn't like where they were marked and brought it up but was told that that was where they're supposed to be and of course I listened because they're the "professionals." Let me just say this, there has never been a time where I wasn't ripped off or that they attempted to rip me off. As time passed, I stopped letting them encourage and intimidate me into paying more. You said $35, I'm only paying $35. I'm not buying your overpriced cleaners (the last time I literally went on amazon and got everything they offered for like $15 right in front of their faces) where they were charging $20/cleanser. For my nipple rings I was quoted $35. After they did them they charged me $100+! I smiled, paid them, called my bank and told them what happened and got my money back. It says they're temporarily closed and I'm praying that it's so they can clean up their acts and get rid of the scam artists they have as employees/management (if you can even call it management). If that's not why they're closed then I hope they never reopen. It's criminal what they do and get away with.

    Update: After posting the following review on Google, the "new" manager Luis found me on Facebook, messaged with me back and forth, then called me forgetting everything we discussed on messenger (with what sounds like Anthony coaching him in the background as to what to say), offering new piercings, free jewelry, a $150 gift card, or a new tattoo just so I will shop with them again/delete my review. They refuse to give me all or even any of my money back when the original piercings lasted less than 2 weeks -- what sort of retroactive "solution" is that? They clearly do not stand behind the quality of their services. Attached are photos of my piercings lasting less than 2 weeks, Anthony saying it's "ok" to remove the piercings to clean them, and Anthony ignoring my request for a refund. (If you're not completely satisfied = 14-day return policy, anyone???). "Anthony is very "charming" but essentially a con artist - I went in for info on helix piercings & they convinced me to do 3 frontal helix & 3 cartilage on the spot, saying they'd give me the jewelry for free. They charged me $500. (For reference point, Lola's in Bogota wants $90 for a triple helix, which includes the jewelry). Anthony did my piercings at the Palisades Mall (meanwhile he has 0 tattoos & only 1 lobe pierced) - the piercings were uneven & would not heal properly. The backs kept falling out and Anthony actually suggested I take the piercing out to clean it, which made the hole close right up! He "unfortunately" could do nothing to remedy the situation (aka no refund, partial or otherwise). His only offer was a free piercing, and I already know how those turn out seriously don't waste your time or money here, because you won't get either back."

    Anthony did an amazing job piercing me and my friend today. He explain everything to us and make us feel less scared about it! In addition to that, the piercing was super sanity!

    Came in yesterday with my brother to get sibling tattoos. The lady who helped us get our information and ideas of what we wanted was super sweet and she set us up with Eric. He showed us some of his artwork and was reassuring my brother the whole time because it was his first tattoo. His station was super clean and he took some creative liberty that made our tattoos even better than we expected. So happy with the establishment and definitely coming back for the Black Friday special!

    After my daughter was turned down by Claire's, Back Stage came to the rescue. They do walkins and the temporary earrings are very cute. The man who did her piercings was very nice and made sure she was satisfied with what she got. This place was awesome and highly recommended.

    As we were heading to the doctor to find out for sure- she had me call Anthony about the possibility of having to remove the piercing.

    Frederick Jewelers is the kind of family-owned business you wish existed everywhere, where honesty…read moreand craftsmanship truly go hand in hand. The owners are warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, with decades of experience that show in everything they do. Whether you're shopping for something special or bringing in a beloved piece for repair, they treat every item (and every customer) with genuine care. Any repairs I've had done here have been flawless. If you're tired of chain-store sparkle and want real old-fashioned quality and service, this is the gem of a place you're looking for.

But trust me, these two are the kind of parents you'd actually want running your life. They do everything in-house from repairs, sales, and being warm and friendly. Before they took over, the original "Pop" was at the bench, so you're basically getting decades of jewelry wisdom handed down like a family recipe. They're personable, honest, and so trustworthy that if they suddenly decided to open a mechanic shop, I'd hand them the keys to my vintage car without a second thought. They've got it all from new jewelry, antique gems, watches, you name it. And they'll do it all from fixing it, polishing it, or making it sparkle like new. They'll also buy your Grandma's gaudy gold bracelet if you're tired of keeping it in a shoe box under your bed along with the spider webs. Cash it in and have some play money. I used to be loyal to a jewelry store in Closter, NJ, but I took a daring cross-border adventure (don't worry, no politics here), to Nanuet, NY, and discovered this little "gem"(no pun intended). Best decision ever.

I later found out they…read morewere not the best material because they kept leaving a green ring on the skin near my ears after wearing, although the color of them never changed.. They were also very light and the clasp kept coming undone. They were supposed to be 10k rose gold. Low and behold I lost one because of that. So i was left with 1 dang hoop earring. I went back to see what I could do. Could I buy just one earring? Well the same exact earrings were now about $350. I asked the lady about this, she said the price of gold fluctuates. She said I cannot just buy one earring but she can buy my one earring back for a low price and i can rebuy the earrings. I said I am not paying that new price. She said ok she can give them to me for the price i paid which was $240. So essentially she wanted me to rebuy the earrings all over again AND i was losing my 1 earring which would go back to her. RIP OFF! Now I am left with one stupid low quality earring. I just really liked how they looked. I wish I could buy 1 of the earrings or at least get some kind of better deal!
