    My daughters nose piercing
    Sonia M.

    Best place to go for Piercings!! I have been going since the mid 2000's to get piercings done.. They are very professional and honest and the piercings are quick and Painless!! I now take my daughter here to get her piercings done too. They have full stock of all kinds of different piercings and the prices are GREAT!! I usually don't give reviews but the friendly staff and professionalism is out of this world! If your looking to get a piercing highly recommend them!!!!

    Yesterday I took my daughter to Empire novelties to get her nose pierced for her 15th birthday. The guy in the A's hat was super cool and did a very professional job so much so that my daughter didn't even know he was finished. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a great experience at getting their nose pierced.

    Nose piercing by Abe

    Abe pierced my nose today. Was super fast and painless! Totally recommend him and the price point was fantastic. Nice guys.

    Update: The reviewer below me Shek DM'd me and claimed to be standing nearby and heard the convo. Apparently he claims that the owner was joking and we "took it up the ass." Apparently he condones rude "joking" for business practices. Whatever dude. When someone is joking usually they say they're joking. So how about you stop taking it up the ass from the owner. With your fake ass braids. These positive reviews must be fake.....My friend and I went here and passed a guy who got mad because we didn't respond hi even though we barely heard him. Apparently he's the OWNER. He got all pissy and said "I'm the owner. I should kick you out of my shop." I was expecting a laugh but he was dead ass serious. Then we told him we're new to the scene. He said, very rudely, "I can tell." Who the hell talks like that to customers? Well Mr. Owner... "I can tell" you've never exercised a day in your life. FOH with that bs.. NEVER going back. Why when there's so many other shops

    Is it necessary to make an appointment for nose piercing?

    I just took my daughter there in August to get her nose pierced and no appointment is necessary. We did have to wait for about 20 minutes because the person who does the piercings was on his lunch break. They did an amazing job on my teen.

    I had a VERY bad experience here. I love to shop and support local and I'm Chamorro from the…read moreSacramento area so when I heard about island Stylez , I thought it would be nice to get my mom a bamboo bangle for Christmas because she's always wanted one and none were passed down to her. I finally got time to go all the way up there and check them out so I walk in and it kinda has the same vibe as a cigarette shop. It's not very well organized at all. But who am I to critique? My room is a mess so I moved past that and I ask about the bangles. The man mentions an adjustable bangle, but I say that I want the solid bangle in size 7 1/2 to 8. He shows me the bangle tells me it's $125 and I say that's perfect because it's sterling silver and that's worth it!! I ask what their return policy is and he tells me 14 days at this point it's December 9th so I asked if they have any holiday promotions because it's going to be a Christmas gift for my mother. The man tells me no and to check back next week. I think that's kind of odd because normally holiday promotions begin after Thanksgiving but it's a small business, maybe they do things differently, I understand. I called back the next week like he says and I ask if they're doing the holiday promotion and he says still not doing it. Check back next week. At this point, it's December 14th or 15th checking back next week is just grabbing it right before Christmas. So I asked him if he can write down my phone number and call me when it begins. The night of the 15th I get a text message saying that holiday return policy began November 27. That's a little annoying, but whatever so I sent my fiancé out to go buy it. To our surprise, they said the price is now $175. $50 is a pretty big jump. So they say that $125 is the price for the small adjustable one WHICH I DIDN'T LOOK AT. We ended up purchasing because my mother has wanted one for her entire life, but I don't think I will ever come back here again. To anybody looking for a less expensive alternative I found Rosa Marina's I haven't ordered from them yet, so I can't vouch but I'll come back and let you know if I do. EDIT: The response that I received by the owner claims that we were offered a discount but it was a military discount... even putting the more expensive price off aside I found this rather unprofessional given my multiple time calling for the holiday exchange and the improper quote. I'm not one to write many bad reviews and a positive for this is my mom loves her bangle.

    If you're looking for island wear this is the place to be. Wide selection every ting. I promise…read moreshe won't walk away with nothing.

Then this is your place and they come with a hefty price tag. As I am deeply in the rock community, I was blown away with 10,000% mark up these guys do. Well, its more of a 700 - 1,100% mark up to be real. I was holding very small smokey towers that were marked at $450+ that I can buy direct from Brazil for $19 (plus shipping) and I'm not even exaggerating. A Lemurian point for $650 that I can buy for $50 in Brazil direct. I knew better and walked out empty handed. But, I can see how someone who doesn't know better might think they are getting a good deal. They run specials like, 50% off cut base amethyst. Or, 70% off pieces $2,000 or more. But, when you do the math, even with the discounts, you are still "over paying" per kilo. I only buy if the math makes sense. And the math doesn't make sense here. Beautiful store though. And super friendly staff that can chat up about rocks.
