I went to Virtue & Vice to get my ears re-pierced after having them pierced 20 years ago. I had a…read morephenomenal experience at V&V from start to finish. They were extremely diligent in their adherence to sterilization protocols and examination of my initial piercings. Because of Randy's careful examination of my ears, only one ear needed a full re-pierce and the other ear just needed a slight stretch in the piercing. It was much less painful this time around than it was 20 years ago (w/a piercing gun at Claire's!). I had such a great experience here I would definitely return and get additional piercings! My ears healed well (different experience than the first time) and I'm excited to wear earring again!

Super friendly staff. I came in needing downsizing for piercings I got at another studio. They took…read morea look and suggested I wait another month, and didn't charge me for the visit since it needed more time. I came back after a month and got them changed out with no fuss in about 5 minutes. They answered my questions happily and were thorough in their responses. Love the vibes. My jewelry swap (didn't need to downsize after all) hurt quite a lot but I'm unsure if that was because they still weren't ready. The piercer did feel a bit rough when handling them but when I voiced the pain they slowed down and were more gentle.

I've visited Kolo multiple times over the years, and every experience has been top-tier. I…read moreoriginally came in a few years ago to have a VCH piercing redone after receiving one with incorrect placement elsewhere. The piercer was quick, gentle, and precise -- the placement was perfect, and I've had no issues since. During that first visit, I also fell in love with their jewelry selection. I had been on the hunt for unique, exotic nose rings, and Kolo definitely delivered. Yes, their pieces are a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and variety are absolutely worth it -- 10/10 every time. The receptionist is one of my favorite parts of the experience. She has amazing energy, always gives thoughtful suggestions, and shares her personal experiences in a way that makes you feel heard and cared for. The bald guy that works there is also really cool -- calm, professional, and always pleasant on the phone. What I love most about Kolo is that they truly know their craft. They take anatomy seriously and won't pierce you unless it's the right placement for your body. That type of honesty and expertise is rare. I recently made the mistake of stepping out for a $10 belly ring special somewhere else... and it went south fast. I came back to Kolo, and they saved the day. This place is forever my home for piercings and jewelry. Can't recommend them enough -- true professionals who care about what they do.

Anywho I originally frequented the Columbia, SC location but have since moved to Atlanta and figured the same professionalism and quality would be here as well and I was right. Don't remember his name I'm horrible with names but never forget a face. Older black man with locs deep warm voice like a dad lol. But he was great. I got a double nose piercing; two on my right nostril and he made the process fast and held conversation to take my mind off him basically stabbing me in the nose twice lol. I love the placement of them being side to side and he used this measuring tool to check his spacing. I was in and out of there in under 20 mins with paperwork, getting my license copied, paying, picking jewelry, piercing, and the aftercare talk. Clean studio, smells of incense not smoke like a previous review I saw stated. I came in on a Tuesday they do half off select piercings. Picked out two little studs 2 for $40 but if you want the basic traditional studs it's 2 for $20. All in all I'm highly satisfied with how I was serviced and I'll be back when I heal up to possibly change to a hoop. Or get a new piercing. Parking isn't the best. It's just a driveway bc this used to be a house. They could definitely use better parking as the main road is hella busy I had to turn my hazard lights on as I moved my car to let someone out who was there before me.

Updating this review and giving five stars even if I had my piercing removed, I think the owner of…read morethis salon knows what's shes doing. The person who removed my cartilage piercing said my hole was perfect, no bumps. And in the past I've had issues with bumps and infections not only from my own lack of care but probably from the shop I used to go to too. Even though I was too lazy to take care of my cartilage piercing it was healing correctly and I'm glad that I had a good experience here with Christina . If I ever decide to be responsible enough to actually take care of my piercings I'll come back here but for right now I don't have the time to take care of any new piercings. Love this place though

When I finally had the chance to say why we were there she said it wasn't possible for us to look around because they are an appointment only shop. I get businesses have policies and she may have been overwhelmed with the load of the day but her delivery was very rude and off putting. It's unfortunate because we would have booked an appointment if we saw what we were looking for but I wouldn't trust someone so rude to pierce my skin.

He takes his time to make sure everything is exactly how you want it, and his attention to detail shows in every tattoo. His aftercare guidance is also on point. He doesn't just send you off.
