We love that she let our group into the private room and she gave our other child a lollipop - a cute touch and kept her busy. This was the highlight of our experience, working with her. We were a walk in so that experience was a little overwhelming at first; having 2-3 people greet us, sign waivers and verbally explain the pricing to us. There was one main person that was just running through everything so quickly that I just couldn't register everything they were saying. I think it would be nice to have a visual price list to look at for our own pace while we make a decision. It felt pressured and rushed. But once we were actually taken care of by Lily and one other person, it didn't feel as overwhelming. Overall aside from the first part of the experience, it was fantastic. Our teen felt comfortable with Lily and it went so smoothly!

I went to piercing 101 today & I had an amazing experience. I was checked in as a walk-in and I…read moreonly had to wait about 30 minutes which I felt was fair-- the staff while I was waiting, let me pick out which size I would like and I was kind of unsure because I didn't know if I wanted small or big and they were very kind and helping me figure out which size I would like. My piercer was named Lily and she was very kind. She could tell again that I was unsure of which size I wanted and put each size up to my nose and was very patient in letting me decide. She was very nice and soft spoken and did a really good job with my piercing and I'm very satisfied. She was very thorough and explaining the directions of the aftercare with my piercing. Overall, this was definitely a really nice experience. My little sister got her earrings changed out and they were so kind. She is only nine years old. They are very patient and she was very scared but they did a really good job. Definitely recommend coming here!

Shop seems really clean, lots of jewelry options, and it would be so awesome if everyone was friendly.

No warning, no "are you okay with sharing the room?" nothing. I look up and my friends are being told to scoot over by some dude! But they're super strict about "no pictures allowed" for "privacy," yet it's totally fine to stick random people in the same room as us?? Make it make sense. For how overpriced it is, you'd think basic privacy would be included. The whole thing just felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. Definitely not coming back.

I was actually sent to Enigma through another amazing piercing shop-- specifically because of the…read moretype of piercing I was requesting (triangle piercing). I'm truly grateful for such a kind and professional redirection-- because the piercing is an uncommon request and very anatomy dependent. I'm really glad my piercer at Enigma, Didier, was able to take their time to not only perform it, but also communicate what he was looking for to be able to do so successfully. Didier talked me through appropriate anatomy requirements for it, gave me a mirror to show how he'd like to position the piercing ideally, discussed jewelery options/possible adjustments to the bar to accommodate healing he'd like to do (if needed), and even mentioned common issues he'd like to avoid that are run into when piercers try to manipulate the area and how such can make the piercing difficult to do/accomplish appropriately. He also thoughtfully kept checking in with me while he was making preparations (sterilizing, PPE, etc.) to make sure to answer any questions and ease any feelings of anxiety. I would absolutely recommend Didier if you're considering a piercing-- he's really knowledgeable and I felt very secure that I made the right decision coming to Enigma because of him.

She explained the full process to her as it was happening to help ease her anxiety. The place was clean and very relaxing. The two ladies who helped us check in were also super sweet with my kid and answered all of her questions regarding the piercings and options. I saw that maybe the biggest complaint was the price, honestly, while it was pricey, it was worth it. I know we got a quality product, highly hiegenic, and well done (by a professional). I am looking forward to returning in the near future.

People would come in and everyone in the shop knew who they were and they were making plans for a community block party for the 4th.
