Needed an ear lobe repierced to straighten the path. Ben was very knowledgable and offered a couple options. Beautiful store, fantastic jewelry and great hygiene practices for the piercing. All the staff were super friendly. A reservation is the best option and easy to arrange online. Highly recommend Ben and Fiat Lux. read more

Took my mom on a field trip to get her ears pierced here since I knew Fiat Lux was the place in San Francisco I'd trust to do a piercing. Super professional piercer who was professional and patient, explained to my mom every step of the process. Piercing was seamless and done with a sterile needle, not a piercing gun! I also loved how Fiat Lux offered check-in appointments to assess the piercing's healing after a few weeks, gave me massive peace of mind as a family member. Highly recommend for folks doing their first to Nth piercing! read more

I have been going to Fiat Lux for over two years for my piercings and to purchase their incredible BVLA jewelry. I keep returning to Fiat Lux because their staff is attentive, kind and receptive. I specifically follow the amazing work & artistry done by Mannie. Mannie is a gentle, easeful, patient, and safe piercer and as a Black woman - this is important to me. I highly recommend all their services and plan to return soon! read more

The staff is very friendly and helpful. I came in to get a earring put in that fell out. It's $11 but it was worth it since it's near impossible to handle the little screws in these earrings by yourself. read more

Kristy was an amazing piercer! She made my 10-year-old daughter feel completely comfortable and took all the time we needed. I highly recommend her! read more

This is a fantastic piercing shop and studio on Fillmore. I have really sensitive skin and have a lot of former piercing trauma, but found myself in a situation where my longterm healed double lobe piercings were aggravated. I came in here to install their flat back earrings into my irritated piercings and had a great experience! It's quite pricey, but I feel much better and have a solid plan to keep my ears and piercings in good shape. When these heal, I'm planning to come back for a 3rd lobe piercing and will have someone help me style my lobe stack a bit more! read more

Amazing staff! I spontaneously went to get a basic piercing since i've had issues in the past. Manny was awesome and gave me recommendations to upkeep my piercing to avert any issues going forward. read more

I'm so excited to leave this review! I have been getting pierced by the amazing Manny since 2024 and every time we work together, I have such a great experience. Manny gives great advice both for styling and placement and will make sure you leave with a beautiful new piece. He listens to your ideas, works within your budget, and gives fantastic customer service. I always feel so safe, heard, respected, and valued on his chair. The staff is so welcoming and the store is gorgeous. I highly recommend you check out Fiat- you won't regret it! read more

This place is a money scam. They're not upfront about their pricing and charge you after for it. Do not go here. I'm very dissatisfied.

For awhile their appointment times were pretty limited but they opened up more. I came in to browse earrings and see how the process works. After wanting my seconds for about two years I finally came in. They have a gorgeous selection of jewelry. I also have sensitive ears so all of their selection was appropriate. There is quite a range of prices so just know that in advance. It is high quality jewelry so I wouldn't come in expecting a deal. There are cheaper options out there. I browsed several options and saw them up close thanks to the sales associate. I finally picked out a gorgeous pair of sapphires. They don't usually hold jewelry but they were willing to hold for me with a credit card on file if I came in within two weeks. I had a wedding coming up so I wanted to wait till after. I went in to get my ears pierced. It was super professional and hardly felt it. They give you a clean up kit and even check up on your ears after 6 weeks. I had a great experience and highly recommend getting your ears pierced here. From the artisan jewelry to the service this place is a gem! read more

Went to Fiat Lux to get a piercing I've always wanted...a floating navel! Kristy was my piercer and was super professional, knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. When my belly button piercing was acting up, she was so helpful during the follow up appt and reassured me about how my piercing was doing after talking about my aftercare routine. She also gave specific care tips for my issues, and I feel a lot better with the long healing journey that navel piercings often require. Highly recommend Kristy if you are considering getting pierced! read more

The best selection and friendliest staff! I couldn't rant and rave about my experience here more. So many elegant rings, bracelets and earrings to choose from! I came in for a permanent jewelry fusing appointment and left with a permanent smile on my face. Be sure to come check out their golden goodies because I'm in love! read more

i started getting pierced here about 5 years ago. initially came bc i was looking for legit jewelry then found the talent once i walked in. there is seriously no better place to get pierced in the bay area and their jewelry selection is elite. i love that i can get pierced with a stunning piece and not be itching to swap it out to something "better". i've been working exclusively with manny since we met a few years ago at a different studio and thankfully found him again here. i have also had great experiences w all the other staff. manny is the MAN. we have the best time working together and let me assure you he UNDERSTANDSTHEASSIGNMENT. he always has the dopest suggestions and executes them flawlessly every time. i've brought several friends here and they love him/this place too. bonus that the shops are in awesome locations so when i drive up from the peninsula to see them i can have a fun city day. vibes are super welcoming and chill to all whether you're a novice to getting pierced or experienced i truly cannot recommend them enough!

This place is a whole overpriced scam. The girl at the desk wanted to charge me almost $900 for 2 "diamond" studs, probably not even a 1/10 of a carat. I take part of the blame, because I should've walked out. $500 later the girl at the desk oversold these "garnets" in 14kt gold, still about a 1/10 of a carat maybe less. I'm thinking the whole earring was 14kt gold, including the post, NO. I found out today when I finally took out the earrings that the post was regular stainless steel. The MOST I should've paid for both was maybe $250 and that's being generous. Never again! read more

Ben was Amazing! He was knowledgeable about the jewelry and quick and gentle with my piercing. I had a wonderful experience and will back to get more work done. Thank you Ben! read more

We walked into Fiat Lux randomly on a Saturday after window shopping. We ended up buying an engagement ring for my fiancée from Emily at and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Even though we didn't have an appointment, Emily took so much time and care with us. She was incredibly patient, answered all of our (many!) questions, and made the entire process feel easy and comfortable. Buying a ring can be a bit overwhelming, but Emily truly made it seamless. My partner is over the moon about her ring, and it's an absolute upgrade from what we had in mind initially. We'll definitely be return customers, and highly reccomend coming here for any jewelry needs. Thank you, Emily, for making such an important purchase feel so special! P.s. , the experience here was innnnfinitely better than that new trendy jewelry shop insert-animal-name-animal-name up the street. SHOP LOCAL! read more

I think it's cool that there are special events hosted here. They're holding a New Moon event for piercings, jewelry installation, and tarot. While I didn't sign up for a tarot reading, I did book an installation appointment. After seeing the emails showcasing their newest new moon collection, I really wanted to get something. I had a tragus piercing that fell out a month ago while running, so I was looking into getting a replacement anyway. I wanted to get their muse for my nostril and a crescent moon... though not the best idea because the crescent moon would be really big on the tragus. Perry (who's super friendly and easy to talk to!) walked me through the considerations, which I appreciate! Instead, I did a flower for my tragus-- which I love. He had to stretch the hole a bit, but it didn't hurt at all! The muse was perfect for my nostril because there's a slight curve, which sits nicely on the curvature of my nose! Got lots of compliments on it :) prior to installing the nostril, he looked at how long the post was (which it definitely was), and was able to get me a shorter one that gives me more space. (Backstory: Before he did that, the last place that pierced my nostril gave me a super long one that sometimes caught onto my septum piercing that's flipped up for work.. yikes). read more

This place is so nice and inviting. I came here for my birthday and my friend and I got infinity bracelets. I also bought two emerald earrings for my tragus piercings. Def would come back to do a styling stack. read more

This review is for the service, not the products. I stopped by on a weekend afternoon with my friend. The store was busy, so we looked around and waited patiently for someone to be free to help us so I could inquire about a piece of jewelry. We waited for 10 minutes to be helped; during that time, another couple walked inside the store after us. They were helped before us, which struck us as odd, before realizing that this couple that walked in after us was white, as was everyone else in the store, except for us (we are both Asian). We waited longer for another associate to be free to help us (another 5-8 minutes), before simply cutting our losses and leaving. I'm not saying the store associates intentionally helped all the white customers in the store before attending to us, but it was weird that we walked in first but weren't even acknowledged, whereas the other couple was and helped quickly. I'm aware that this store is on Fillmore street, in the predominantly white neighborhood of Pacific Heights, so I left the store feeling unsurprised. We weren't dressed sloppily, nor were our appearances unkempt, so I'm not sure why we weren't helped. I'm a bit disappointed since I was a fan of the boutique in the Mission. read more

I recently brought my 8 year old niece to get her ears pierced, and just want to say what an AMAZING experience it was with Perry!! He was so calm, professional, warm, and understanding when it came to a very nervous girl, and I honestly am not sure my niece would have gone through with it had we been anywhere else. She is SO HAPPY with the end result, and he made her feel so at ease and proud. We can't thank Perry enough, and will certainly be back for any future piercing needs! read more

I haven't gotten any piercings since I had my lobes pierced as a toddler, and this shop was the right decision for my second lobe piercing. I made an appointment online, which was very simple. My piercing was scheduled for today with Perry, and I had a great experience. Perry welcomed me warmly and showed me various stud options. He was super knowledgeable and listened closely to what I like and wanted. I felt zero pressure to do something I didn't like. Once I selected the pair I liked, Perry went to get everything ready and sterilized. I looked around the shop and it's a really cute shop. They have lots of beautiful jewelry and they're conveniently located on Fillmore. I told Perry I hadn't been pierced since I was a child and was nervous. He reassured me about the process and was very gentle and calm. I felt comfortable and safe throughout. The piercing itself was quick and felt like a little pinch--not bad at all. Afterwards, Perry walked me through after care and told me to reach out if I had any questions or concerns. I love my new piercing and earrings, and am so happy I came to this shop for them. I'd highly recommend going to Perry for your next piercing. Thanks so much!! read more

I had two piercings done here and was amazed at how professional, sanity and painless the process was! The studs are beautiful and high-quality. I will definitely return for more piercings/just to buy their gorgeous jewels. read more

This review is for the Manager Marie and Ariella. There was an issue that came up for me, and both Ariella and Marie did an amazing job taking care of my needs in a way that made me feel seen and heard. I was afraid to speak up, but when I did both immediately responded with warmth and understanding. I truly appreciate their attentiveness to quickly alleviating the issue without making me feel awkward, and offering a fitting solution. read more

This experience was so bad. First thing you should know is that this place is EXTREMELY expensive and we had no idea of that we went there (obviously our fault) Anyways, then we still went through with our appointment which was great but the real problems only started after. Paying around 800 dollars for two extremely small jewels we expected amazing value but in the first few weeks the JEWEL BROKE OFF WHILE I WAS WALKING! This is outrageous because of the price and when we went to go get it fixed because they promised us that we could- they wanted to charge us for it even though their bad quality was the reason it fell off. Extremely frustrating for that amount of money. 1/10 terrible and all my friends agree. read more

This is the first time doing a Yelp review and I'm doing so because this place is special. I had a great experience getting my piercing. It is a classy upscale space, with lots of beautiful jewelry. It was a splurge for me but I wanted to get my nose pierced for a while and I chose Fiat Lux for it's ambiance--a upscale place, that specializes in jewelry and piercings not tattoos. The decor is airy, clean and light. Perry, my piercer was excellent, very professional and an expert -the piercing was painless and the placement perfect. Be prepared to spend $ here as their nose piercing service is $40 but the cheapest piece started around $165-$170 for a 2mm diamond stud. Perry explained the aftercare and I was given a saline spray and will go back for a 6 week followup. Overall I couldn't be more pleased with my piercing. Highly recommended! read more

I been contemplating on getting my nose pierced for a long time. I came across Fiat Lux and the interior of this place caught my eye because of how elegant it looks with beautiful jewelry surrounding the shop. So I decided to make an appointment. The whole process was educating, comfortable, and smooth. I'm so happy with my results. Definitely come here for piercing. read more

What a gem of a place to get pierced! I wanted to add some more tiny sparkles to my ears and couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience. They have an extensive collection of pretty little things AND they will help you design the placement of new piercings on your body that work with your other pierces and overall look. Everything is clean, well decorated, and the piercing process is quick and as close to painless as possible. Great vibes, warm staff, and jewelry that is unique and a touch edgy. I can't wait until these piercings heal and I can come back for more! read more

This shop uses a bait and switch method. We signed up for a piercing only but when we arrived with my daughter's mom's earrings they declined to pierce. They said the only way they would provide the service they promised was if we spent another $360 plus tax on their earrings . read more

Amazing hospitality by the staff and the jewelry is beautiful. By Bestfriend and i have been looking to get permanent bracelets for months. We came across Fiat Lux on TikTok and booked an appointment. Unfortunately we got stuck in traffic and couldn't make it on time. But they were so nice and took us in as soon as we got there. Had a variety of chains to choose from with a great prices. AnaMarie was so wonderful she sodered our bracelets on to us and she was so nice. I would definitely go back ! Thank you so much Fiat Lux! read more

I got pierced by Perry who was so kind and explained everything for me as they were doing it The place is super clean, from the front room to the piercing rooms. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Also the vibe was super unique. I have previously gone to other parlors (not in California) that were dark/also tattoo parlors, but here the room I was in was sky blue and so calming. I'm more of a "Hello Kitty and pastels" kinda girl and prefer this to the typical grunge/punk, and there was a large selection of earrings that were dainty and cute, so much more than I've seen anywhere else. I got teeny pyramid studs AND you can get them with the flat back! I'll definitely be coming back for both piercings and jewelry! read more

After purchasing our engagement ring here today, I cannot recommend this place enough! Their staff was incredibly warm, attentive, and hospitable without rushing or pressuring us when we walked in. Their ring inventory is incredibly unique and varied enough to satisfy a variety of tastes. The interior was stylish and welcoming (especially the music). Emily accommodated us without an appointment as I tried on multiple rings, leaving me lots of time to make this important decision and taking great care to help me decide on the correct size. She truly made us feel comfortable "taking the leap" of making our purchase, providing education along the way and presenting many options once she understood our taste! Ultimately, it was a total joy to support a local SF business & craftspeople (rather than buying from an online purveyor or chain) - we will always remember this day! read more

I had my appointment yesterday for ear styling but all I feel during my visit was rushed. I love the jewelry they offer, I just hope I should've just booked a different piercer, don't get me wrong the man was knowledgeable but I just don't like being rushed. read more

I loved my experiences with Fiat Lux. I've only ever shopped at this Fillmore location (but plan on visiting their Mission location in the future) and I've been helped by both Rebecca (store manager) and Kristina (piercer). I'd been following their Instagram for some time now and their pieces are beautiful. One ring in particular stood out to me and just *spoke* to me so after thinking about it for weeks, I just knew I had to have it! I called the store, connected with Rebecca and she invited me in to check and try out the piece. When I arrived, she was awesome to work with, took time with me to try on and take measurements and was just an overall joy to work with. The second time I went in (yesterday) was to get pierced by Kristina O. I made an appt. a few weeks ago to add 3 piercings to complete my earscape (for now, heh). Kristina was an absolute gem to work with; she was very patient with me as we discussed location options (pros/cons), pieces, prices and calming my nerves during the process. I never felt scared to ask questions. I've previously felt rushed by other piercers (different shops) and felt like I had to just go with what they say but my interaction with Kristina was the complete opposite: She listened, she was transparent about pricing to ensure I was comfortable (and made recommendations based on my price-point comfort) and she never once rushed me as I was noodling over options. I definitely recommend coming in to shop! read more

TLDR - way way way expensive and limited for basic piercings. I went here because it's in my neighborhood and they have online bookings which is nice. I guess they have multiple locations and they told me today this is their "luxury location." I just wanted a second piercing on my ear lobes. The most frustrating part is pricing. The price is based on the cost of the jewelry (each earring is individually priced) + $25 to pierce each ear. No prices are listed, so I had to ask for each item, then do the math in my head x2 + $50. However - a majority of the earrings they did not have more than one available! So if you want a matching pair, either leave your contact and they'll let you know when they can order another, or go somewhere else (their advice). Blows my mind that they have a brick and mortar and only available single earring in the showcase. No plain studs, the least expensive are lightning bolts, and the majority are diamond solitaires (very overpriced for 1/10 ct). Can't remove the studs for 3 months so I didn't want to be stuck with silly bolts. Service was lovely, professional and sterile. Just so frustrating because I chose studs I don't like just because I was tired of asking about each one and if there are two and what the cost would be. Booked this a week ago and have travel coming up, so today was my only open day and other places didn't have availability for today. Expect to pay +$600 to get your ears pierced. Wish they were transparent about their pricing because -- 1) I wouldn't have gone here. I even called ahead and asked questions about the process and they mentioned the piercing fee not the range of cost for the jewelry. (I expected max $200.) 2) I felt screwed because of timing -- I didn't have other options unless I waited 6 months or so. read more

I went to Fiat Lux to get 3 piercings. The space is stunning and extremely clean and they have well curated selection of BVLA piercings and other unusual and beautiful jewelry.

They are insanely expensive and had my earlobe pierced , the earring fell Off in 2 weeks and the piercing was so tiny and closed off immediately. When I went back they asked me to pay for another service and buy another earring (starting from $100)... not happy. I am going elsewhere. read more

Visited this studio with a concern I had for an ear cartilage piercing I had done while on vacation far away from San Francisco. Perry was kind, courteous and professional. He told me that the piercing was healing perfectly and took his time to consult with me about how best to care for it going forward. He also told me the piercer did a great job, further reassuring me. I told a friend who has several ear piercings about my experience and she told me Perry did all of hers and is fantastic. I'll be back when its time to change the jewelry... Thank you Perry and Fiat Lux for taking such good care of me! read more

Wow! Today I went in for a ear piercing appointment and left absolutely thrilled. I had questions about jewelry and the piercing process all of which were answered clearly and met with compassion. Perry made the entire experience comforting and enjoyable while also showing incredible professionalism and knowledge in his craft. I will 100% be back and recommend this shop to anyone I know!! So great!! read more
