    3rd lobe piercings done by Rowan!
    Jacqueline C.

    I am visiting from california and saw this place and was immediately intrigued. I've wanted a hidden helix for a bit so I went in and decided to get it! After picking her brain and asking some questions, I realized I didn't have the anatomy for it. I really appreciated her being honest with me!! So instead I got my 2nd choice which was my 3rd lobes. They weren't my top choice but I was itching for something new. She did a great job making sure she lined them up perfectly for not only my other 2 lobe piercings but also my anatomy and cartilage structure of my ear!! Once I had them in I actually LOVED them more than I was expecting. I loved her AND their jewelry selection. The little stars I picked out go perfectly with most of my other jewelry and look so cute. I'm so happy I went here! Absolutely love them.

    Here is a photo of my ears the day I went to urgent care

    Really upset with my experience at Rowan. A few months back I got an incredibly expensive double helix cartilage piercing and while the piercer was great, it was the aftercare that has really made me upset. I came in around the time they said I should come in to change my posts but had questions because my ear was in a lot of pain (more than my last cartilage piercing) and it looked like it was infected after only a little over a month. The man working there could not have been more RUDE and dismissive. I asked if someone could look at my ear (since their whole brand is piercings being done by nurses???) and from behind the desk hardly looking at it he goes "honey I can tell you that it takes up to a year to heal and it's fine." He made me feel like I was so stupid to even ask such a question and sent me on my way saying he couldn't help me and I just had to wait it out and that it was "normal". It didn't take an expert to know that my ear was in bad shape and then 3 days later I really couldn't handle the pain anymore and went to urgent care where I was told to take out the piercings immediately and was given antibiotics because both piercings were INFECTED. I'm not sure what happened, I understand I'm not entitled to a refund just because my body did not react well to the piercing, but what happened to my ear is not okay and the way I was shooed away made me very upset. A normal piercing shop would never have this response. It was a little over $400 for both piercings and for the customer service that followed I think that is ridiculous. Sorry if you are squeamish but here is a photo of what my ear looked like!

    Angled piercing through cartilage with "hand pressurized machine".

    So disappointed! This is a Claire's with better branding. I went in to get a third piercing on my mid/lower earlobe on each ear. I asked for a hand needle piercing three times. Each time she said the "hand pressurized machine" was better. I am susceptible to keloids and know from experience the needle is better. It was bleeding on my walk back home, and I ended up having to remove it 2 days later. It never stopped hurting even following aftercare instructions. When I looked into it further I realized she had pierced it at an angle into the back "conch" part of my ear into my cartilage with the hand machine. Added a pic for reference - note an old healed piercing to the right, and the new hole from Rowan is the small red dot in my cartilage to the left. Extremely painful and careless. I tried reaching out and have not heard back. *Update they reached out and as a "one time curtesy" refunded me $55.

    See all

    I recently visited this store with my friends, and we were treated absolutely unfairly. After…read morebrowsing and peacefully walking out (without buying anything), one of the workers came running after us and accused us of stealing. We were shocked, confused, and honestly embarrassed, in public for something we didn't do. They didn't ask politely or explain anything. They just assumed. No proof. No apology. nothing We cooperated and showed them we had nothing, and instead of admitting their mistake, they gave us attitude and let us go like we were guilty. This kind of treatment is completely unacceptable, especially when you treat young customers like criminals just because we're teens or don't "look" like your usual shoppers. We came to shop, not to be profiled or harassed. I will not be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this store to anyone who values basic respect.

    She is on the phone. "Hi, may I take a quick picture?"…read moreI asked politely. The lady responded, "no photo, goodbye." While this short poem pretty much sums up my 30-second visit at Oriental Boutique, it is also an acrostic that describes the lady's attitude and the service. I was looking for a traditional Chinese dress (i.e. Qi Pao) for my girlfriend, whom I am going to marry. However, most of the designs cater to kids or tourists (that might explain why most positive reviews were written by non-Asian customers... just saying!) and very few of them are for adults. As someone who grew up in an ethnically Chinese background, I had seen and worn more culturally authentic and better designed traditional gowns and dresses. Many designs displayed in the store seem "oriental" in a western sense or as in what westerners think "oriental" should look like, but this is just my subjective observation and honest opinion. The lady was on the phone all the time, and when I asked her question, she literally answered, "no photo, goodbye." Okay. BYE. NEVER AGAIN! Wish I could have given a zero or a negative number.
