I went here to get three piercings; two lobes and a helix. The ad on their website entails, "Get your ears pierced for FREE with the purchase of a set of earrings at Caryl Baker Visage!" This was true for my lobe piercings, I paid $59 for the set of earrings and that's what I was charged. However, I was charged $75 for my helix piercing, in purchasing a SET of earrings that cost only $69--for a SINGLE helix. They did not provide me with the other earring in the set that I had purchased. I realized this after I had them pierced, and returned a few days later to ask about it. The employee told me that helix piercings are not, in fact, free, and the $75 included the cost of the single earring I had purchased, as well as the piercing fee that had not been, in any way, mentioned on their website. Although I'm aware that helix piercings might cost more than lobes, this was not at all mentioned during the entire process, leading me assume that they had no extra cost, which I find incredibly dishonest. This lack of transparency really bothered me as a customer, and although the attendant who pierced my ears had been generally kind and professional, I will not be returning to Caryl Baker Visage anytime soon. While it seems fine to have your lobes pierced here, I highly recommend against helix piercings, as I would not want to support a dishonest company like this one.
(Not to mention that $75 is a crazy price for one piercing? Highly, highly un-recommend--especially since the piercing was done with a gun, which is known to be less safe and sanitary than a needle. I think this shows a lack of professionalism/training among employees? There was also only one employee when I went there the first time, and two (one in the front, one in the back room) the second time. Not sure why they never have many employees around? Anyways. Definitely not a great place to get piercings, you're better off trying a tattoo parlour or something). read more
