    Some of their selection
    Liz N.

    Omgeee I can't remember the last time I left a 5 star review. This place exceeded all my expectations! It's immaculate. So clean and organized. Service? I called before I came, I had random questions and their automated answering machine is what I received. Not a real person picking up the phone cause they are busy attending to their in house customers (which I understand and don't mind) BUT I do appreciated that the automated answering machine literally answered all the questions I had and the questions I didn't even think of before I asked it. A+++ I arrived with my friends and we all got different piercings (forward helix, dath and a piercing reopening + a conch jewelry refresh. We dropped around $1300-$1400 so not a small transaction in any means. Travis was our tech and he was the best tech I had ever received! I've received a lot of piercings in my past (including a double nipple piercing) and Travis not only gave his expert advise on what size of jewelry would look good in our piercings but also did not make me feel pressure to buy what cost more or what didn't look good. Ahhhmazing Travis thanks again for the great experience + aftercare instructions. My friends and I were saying how spoiled we were with Travis and the staff's awesome service that no one else we'd visit from here on out will compare.

    PINEAPPLE IS EVERYTHING AND MORE! Heard rumors he was the best and after consulting with people decided to book a child lobe consult for my 8 year old daughter. She doesn't do well with shots but REALLY wanted to get her ears pierced. We did the virtual consult with Pineapple and a few other kids and finally my daughter said "LETS DO THIS". Found out which days Pineapple was working over email and he gave some tips and tricks to calm her nerves. We talked at home and made the drive to East Austin to see Pineapple for a lobe piercing. First and foremost, Pineapple talked to my daughter like she was a human not a kid and my daughter responded really well to that. She had no nerves and loved picking out her lobe "jewelry". He talked her through every step of the process and my daughter was ready and comfortable giving her consent! Everything was seamless and my daughter said it was nearly painless. A day later my daughter said she's so excited she got them done and THEY LOOK FANTASTIC! even and not like my messed up ears done at Claire's decades ago. Thank you Pineapple for everything! You have a stellar process and we will recommend all of our friends to yall!

    Helix piercing by Mercedes wearing a hammered rose gold disc
    Shanel S.

    I cannot express my gratitude enough for this piercing parlors employees, Mercedes and Kane (spellcheck?). Before coming in, I called twice. Once to confirm I could come in and with a few questions. I believe it was Kane that answered and they were so patient, kind, and welcoming. When they said "we hope you'll come in", I took it as my sign that I must get this Helix piercing! The establishment takes safety precautions very seriously. You don't have to wear a mask, but they're sure to wear them, along with gloves, plastic wrap, etc. Comparing to where my sisters went, this was already a huge step above. They were also very patient in answering my many pricing questions. The jewelry is a bit out of my budget, but the quality and service can't be beat. I could've decided on probably 15 different studs but chose the hammer disc to stay within budget. All in, my cost was $202 with the 20% tip included. Piercing and aftercare for the Helix starts at $76. I will say that the care and safety precautions make the price worthwhile. So, this is my second time piercing my cartilage. The first time was at Claire's and it got infected pretty badly. I got my other ear pierced this time and WOW! Immediately a difference. The education on the piercing and the professionalism from Mercedes is above par. Absolutely amazing. I wish I got more pierced, honestly. I haven't felt any pain whatsoever from the piercing and the piercing itself was so easy and almost painless, honestly. I recommend coming here again and again. I've also been very sure to NOT TOUCH IT! Key information! Now go get pierced. Quick backstory - went on a sister trip to Austin and we were trying to find something we could all do to commemorate the trip. My sisters got their ears pierced but I couldn't fit into the appt or really make up my mind. When they flew out the next morning, I regretted not being a part and wanted to go myself and surprise them with a picture when they landed. It worked out perfectly!

    Nose piercing
    Karen W.

    I can't recommend this place enough! Amazing first time experience. Right when you walk in you're greeted, very friendly staff. The whole place is very clean and has a cool vibe. My piercer Jason was awesome! He was friendly, very informative, and patient. I will definitely be back in the future.

    Nostril piercing one week out!
    Kaeleigh S.

    The only place I'll get pierced in Austin (or maybe anywhere). They are extremely clean, professional, and friendly. All the piercers know their stuff and make sure you are well informed too because you poke a hole in your body. They really go above and beyond to equip you with how to care for your piercing best and avoid infection. They also have an awesome inventory of jewelry and it's where all of mine is from. I got my nose pierced last weekend by Jason and he was awesome. Super patient, super kind, and he did a super job. Safe and super spot to get pierced!

    Upper helixes and tragus pierced by Jade
    Emily K.

    I did a bunch of research before expanding my ear piercings and could not have found a better place. I saw Jade up north for three ear piercings (upper helix on both ears and tragus) and she is the best. So helpful and understanding, answered soooo many questions was patient while I picked out my jewelry and is a master at her craft. My three piercings took no time and are exactly what I wanted. I also went to the east location to look at jewelry later and Travis was extremely helpful with pricing, ideas and making sure I get exactly what I want. Will definitely be back! I already have my next two piercings picked out.

    Spring Break 2022 - Navel piercing for my teenager!
    Maria C.

    After doing much research for my teenage daughter I came across this hidden gem. This place of business is not only welcoming but also very sterile. We arrived around 3:00 on a Tuesday during Spring Break. I had already known it was a first come and no appointment due to the info on Yelp and I also called. The business does ask you to mask up, which we had no issue doing. There were 3 clients ahead of us so we patiently waited as there was only on piercer working. We drove an hour so we didn't mind. Frank prepared us and acknowledge us upon entering the business. He also prepared us with the quick online information link using the QR code. It was my daughters turn after waiting roughly 20 minutes. Frank examined her naval to be sure it was going to able to be pierced. To say Frank was very thorough is an understatement. I loved that he was patient with my teenager as she was a bit nervous and had to get her breathing under control. He talked her through the entire process and made sure she wanted to go through with it 3 times. Frank this meant so much to me as a parent. You didn't make her feel uncomfortable what so ever. My teenager rated the pain a 4 out of 10 and loves her piercing. I paid and gave him a tip. Towards the end of paying my daughter stated she was feeling dizzy and he promptly went into action by asking her to have a seat and provided her with a candy and the ladies working gave her water. OH MY GOODNESS this was beyond customer service. 10/10 in my books. The drive, the short wait, the cost of piercing, and the customer service was worth every cent! Do yourself a favor and check this place out for your next body modification ... you won't be disappointed!

    The jewelry companies that we order from do not sell to the general public. If you could be a little more specific as to which exact pieces you were looking to get, we would be happy to ship them to you.

I spoke with Ryan, who was very attentive and assured me not to worry, the bracelets would be fixed. I was glad to learn they have an in-house goldsmith who handles all repairs, so this brought me peace of mind. Upon inspection, Raymond told me I should hear back within a day or so with an estimate. Lo and behold, I did receive a call back quickly and approved the repair cost. The repairs were completed within the estimated time frame. However, during the repair process, one of the bracelets (18k gold two-tone) lost a diamond on the top facing side of the link. Not to worry, said Ryan, they would fix it at no charge. I got a call the next day that it was fixed. I walked over, only to discover that now the bracelet was missing another diamond on the inner-facing side of the link. This particular bracelet holds a sentimental value to me due to its design and because it commemorates a milestone memory. Diamonds on the top links and double-sided with an inscription underneath. Each link contains the same inscription underneath with one diamond stone per link. Anyhow, once I pointed out the issue, Ryan assured me they would fix it, at no additional cost. I was expecting a call back perhaps 2-4 days later but to my surprise, I got a call the next day that my bracelet was ready. Upon careful and close inspection, the bracelet was repaired perfectly. The other bracelet (18k white gold) had no issue and was repaired perfectly the first time around. Overall, I was very pleased with Ryan and the staff's exceptional service. Kruger's will now be my go-to place for all repairs, and I will definitely come back as I have my eye on a lovely diamond bracelet.

I decided to order online and pick up at the flagship store so I could check out more pieces and their cafe. Parking isn't the greatest but that's South Congress in general but they do offer valet. I'm big on customer service and I can say my experience here wasn't the best. While the store was slightly busy, workers can be identified in white button ups and blue jeans. Had I not flagged someone down for my pickup, I probably wouldn't have been serviced. There were several employees standing and observing. The store itself is beautiful with pieces on display. They also have different sections for engraving as well as a color bar. From what I read, you can customize your own piece by selecting your metals and gemstones. I was interested but again, no one really cared to assist me so I decided against it. After picking up my order and making it to the car, I decided to check out my earrings. Luckily I did because one of the earrings was actually broken so I decided in that moment to take them back and get another pair. I explained this to the first worker I encountered and she went to get me another pair without a problem. However, the lady assisting me at the register with the exchange (who was the same lady I'd just picked up my order from) actually retrieved pliers and attempted to fix it. After a few moments, I had to tell her that I didn't want this pair fixed but a brand new pair considering I literally just purchased them and didn't have a chance to "break" them myself. After that, she agreed and simply swapped the earrings. The line for the café was long so unfortunately, I was unable to try it. I love the pieces offered and the community partnerships Kendra Scott has but customer service could be better.

I came into the store on 11/12 hoping to either get my ring cleaned or replaced for a new one. I had an inkling that they would say no due to the time frame being several years since first purchase. They also explained they don't do this for fashion jewelry but might do it for their fine collection. I'm not sure if it's because I came near closing but everyone was super helpful and welcoming. I don't remember how many different staff members I encountered but everyone was excellent. I took my time looking at the display cases, but ended up at the Color Bar. I decided on a double-band rose gold ring with a white holographic gem . This is after the Keyholder provided me many rings AND gems to try on. She was so patient! I thought this was a new style, but when I came home realized I previously got the same ring in silver & a blue-toned gem. That one got lost though, so I'm happy to have this one in my collection now!

All their piercing jewelry is implant-grade flat black labret. Kels was super patient and accommodating, she knew I was nervous and took the time to assure me that the pain is bearable. They have stress balls if you need it. Pain tolerance varies for everyone, but I was surprised my helix wasn't as painful as I thought. I would compare it to a flu shot! The worse part is placing and tightening the jewelry. After a few months they have a free check up appointment where you can switch your flat black to a shorter post. I had a very positive and fun experience, I might come back again to get a conch or tragus after my helix is completely healed.
