I rarely take out that piercing but it needed to be done cause I was getting an MRI. Luckily I was able to walk in with no appointment, waited a little bit and they removed the piercing at no charge.

Do not come here for anything other than buying jewelry. The store is super cute, the staff is very…read morekind, but the piercing expertise is severely lacking. The concept of nurses is cool, but they really need to hire more experienced piercers. For context: I went in today to get the L bar that my nostril was pierced with replaced with a regular flat back stud because the L bar was driving me crazy. The nurse took out my original jewelry and then struggled for a while to try and get the flat back post in. At first she said she was going to have to give up, but then she stuck a thin piece of metal through the front of my piercing to try and guide the new jewelry post through the back. This process was all extremely painful. She still could not get the post through my piercing, so she put lube on the inside of my nostril. I guess this did the trick because she got it in, but then she said it was too short and she couldn't get the top on. SO she got a longer post to replace the shorter one with but then she dropped the longer one into my hair. She found it, pulled it out of my hair, wiped it down, and then restarted the painful process with the guide wire. She finally got the longer post in through the piercing, but then she left it hanging there while she walked away to get the stud and the post fell out of my nose. She said it was probably because there was too much lube in my nostril. At that point, I just asked her to please put my original jewelry back in and I left with an absolutely throbbing nose. I really don't blame the nurse. She was very kind and I truly believe she was doing her best. But she's a trained medical provider, not a piercer. Please please please just hire the right kind of professionals.

The best buffalo exchange. I used to live in Williamsburg and would frequent this location often…read more This week I stopped by while on vacation and scored some gems. The pricing is quite fair. The staff are doing research. As a buyer, you'll pay as much as or slightly less than what is being sold on Poshmark or Depop in my opinion. Sometimes you'll get lucky and a limited piece will be priced at what similar items for that brand would be priced ... and that's the thrill of it all. Great quality items that you get to try on and feel. A lot of new with tag items.

Despite my horrible experience with the Chelsea location, this Brooklyn (WILLIAMSBURG) Buffalo…read moreExchange completely brought back my love for thrifting--and for this company in general! I was actually on my way to Beacon's Closet when I took a wrong turn and boom!--Buffalo Exchange appeared right in front of me. I figured, why not check it out since I'd never been to this one before? This location is definitely on the smaller side, but don't let that fool you--you'll find some beautiful pieces here. The staff is absolutely amazing: super friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and best of all, honest. And when I say honest, I mean it. They're very upfront about how low the company's buying percentages are. So if you think you're getting $900 for your $1,400 Balenciaga sneakers, you're sadly mistaken--but they'll tell you exactly what they can offer and even suggest other stores that might better fit your item's value. That kind of integrity and transparency means everything to me. It shows they genuinely care about you and your items. I've already visited twice, and I can confidently say this little Williamsburg shop is hands down the best Buffalo Exchange location. Chelsea and NoHo should definitely come take notes--this is the kind of service every location should strive for. Buffalo Exchange corporate: if every store had this same energy and approach, your brand would truly skyrocket. Thank you, Williamsburg Buffalo Exchange team, for making both of my visits such a great experience. I'll be back in a few days--keep up the amazing work!

Although it says men's fashion, a lot of the clothing are unisex. Aape clothes are more boxy and baggy and BAPE clothes are more tighter fitting. There's only two Aape shop locations in the US and one is located at 340 Lafayette in NYC. The shop was clean and the clothes were neatly displayed. They had a nice selection of T-shirts and sweatshirts. They only display one sweatshirt on the floor, but they usually have more sizes in the back. I purchased a black fleece Aape sweatshirt that cost $145. Because it was over NYC's clothing limit of $109, it was taxed at 8.875%. There were two workers in the store and both seemed friendly and helpful. Glad I got a chance to check out the Aape store in NoHo in NYC.
