Alexia was helpful, quick, and the cost of the jewelry was shockingly cheap ($20 for two titanium hoops). Alexia has the sort of personality that some might call prickly, and I can see why that set some yelp reviewers off. But don't let that stop you from going - she is clearly very experienced, keeps up with her piercing education, and knows what she is doing. She also had a good supply of jewelry on hand, when many tattoo/piercing shops do not. I would definitely go back for more work.

A couple of days later, I ran into unexpected expenses and called to cancel as it was a month away and they will not refund me my deposit. At no time did they tell me that deposit wasn't refundable, no business card or email was given to me. Terrible policy. I would not go there and recommend anyone going there. So many other tattoo places in the area. BTW very very expensive.

I got a piercing done here. First of all, the actual piercing was done professionally and hygienic…read more I have no complaints with that, he did very well from that perspective. Pricing wise I do just want to point out a couple things for people: the piercings are a little pricey which I'm okay with as long as it's advertised upfront. He doesn't mention that he charges separately for the salt based after care solution ($15+ or something) and he didn't mention that until ~after~ I already had the piercing, when it was inconvenient for me to go elsewhere for it. Also, the base selection for earrings that are included in the price are pretty limited, like 3 choices. So be prepared to pay $20+ for earrings if you don't like the couple options provided. Just some things to consider - he was friendly and performed the piercing well otherwise. Just a lot of upselling that would be nice if it was more transparent from the beginning. He also asks for a tip at the end which is fine. Ended up being ~$170 for basic earlobe piercing in both ears with the cleaning solution and a basic other pair of earrings that wasn't included.
