Horrible and poor professional communication coming from Angie Estep!!! I went in with two of my best friends about a little more of a month ago. Angie Estep was really rude and had not a little bit of professionalism at all. I wanted to get a naval piercing, I had a total of 5 piercings in that moment, all done by myself. When we got to the place it was almost empty and they said they will have to put me in a waiting list, which I was ok with, we waited 1 hour. When we got back to the place they said they had yo check my anatomy and they called girl that looked about 18 years old to check it, she did look at it from behind the table and just said I will have to get a floating one and then left. Did not really check it nor touched my skin at all, I was ok with getting a floating one even if my bellybutton has the right anatomy and enough skin (I am not a professional at all tho, but still she did not see me sitting down or anything, but they have experience ig) Until now there was no problem, I did agree on whatever they said.
When I finally went inside to get the piecing Angie Estep was the one who was going to do it, she hardly sat down in a chair and told me to get ready, which I tried to lay down in the bed because she gave me no directions at all, then she raised her voice and told me not to lay down so I asked if she wanted me to sit in there and she raised it again and told me not to sit either. I asked her where did she want me to be then, by then my friends were already confused because of how she would just expect me to know what she wanted and decided to stop recording. (They wanted to record my reaction while getting the piecing, we asked if we could record before all this happened, unfortunately my friend did delete the video a couple of days later because I was not planing to write this).
Once I was standing in front of her, everyone was quite and all we could hear it's her trying to breath really heavily, she marked two lines to do it in the middle and then stared side eyeing it and looking at me pretty weird, which I asked if there was any problem because of her not saying anything at all. She just stared saying "no... mmm, no!, it is not going to look good on you." Which I got really confused and asked what does she means by it is not going to look good on me?, she stared saying that it simply will not, I told her I am getting a floating one how they said, she said that not even if I get a floating one will look good, then before I could say something else about it she stared saying in a rude way that she does not works there for the money and she was not willing to "WAIST" one of her needles on me. My friends and I got really confused about everything and the way she was being like this, we just decided to leave, I told her I'm sorry but I simply don't get why but I think it would be better just to leave this here, she now with a none rude tone asked if there was any other piecing I wanted but the naval, I said no and my decision was better to leave, while we were leaving she just responded.
Before leaving the mall I decided to call you this other place close, they were also so confused why she would act that way and invited me to go in. They did actually check my belly anatomy and saw me sitting down, standing up and checked my skin around it, everything was clean and they were so professional and nice. Thy end up doing a normal piecing on me and said that my anatomy is good enough for it, showed me some pictures of other they have done and explained me more about how they decide the anatomy for it. Then explained it is better to get titanium jewelry only, then I would wear surgical steel but they will always and only sell, and recommend titanium. I end up getting a normal piecing and today after one month an 3 weeks I can say it is healing really good. There is almost no red it has enough space, does not hurts at all after the first week, and they have check the process and let me know I can always go back there to get it check and changed jewelry (while I can show them it is titanium jewelry) with no cost. ***I attached some pictures of how it looks when I'm laying down, standing and STTING DOWN*** read more
