Logistically booking and website proved to be very user friendly! A card is needed upon booking an appointment, and isn't charged until service is completed! Parking is your standard strip mall parking, no problem there.
Upon the initial visit and being newer to the Omaha area, I was unsure about what i would find at this Ralston location.
I was pleasantly greeted by the owner and jr piercer. This studio/shop was bright and unique, lobby area was well kept, clean and just a neat little space. I arrived to my appointment 15 minutes early to allow enough time to complete paperwork and be settled in. Make sure to bring form of ID! Paperwork was not too hefty and easily laid out, (I didn't feel like I was having to read through a bunch of legal jargon in tiny font). Only room for feedback would be to maybe make this an online form to be completed at the studio, that was a digital copy can be shared to the client and eco friendly (yay).
The owner (solid handshake) was my piercer and let me know that he would perform the service and have his jr piercer observe and assist.
One of my favorite parts was the display, it's not your typical" jewelry store esque" display with hundreds of tiny pieces with minuscule differences where your mind honestly cannot interpret which ones you actually like and be able to distinguish the difference! The selection is curated and trendy without crossing over into that "viral" or "fad" territory. These timeless pieces are very beautiful and I was pleased to hear that he (not sure on pronouns, apologies) sources from different artists who make this jewelry! Makes me feel way better than buying from amazon. He took the time to explain different price points and had me hold the item to see for myself what would work for me.
Once jewelry was picked out, he went over total cost of service and jewelry and once we agreed on everything we went to the piercing room(? Not sure if that was the title) and he explained the process and we got some tunes going!
Just through conversation about the process, I knew I was in good hands!
Everything was clean!! Cannot emphasize this enough!!! The extra sparkle on top of this whole experience was that although I'm just a small little workout girly I didn't feel out of place at all. The staff here care about what they do and who they're working with!
Pricing at first seemed high for me, but I am not someone who is a regular at a piercing parlor and the last time I did this was college 6 years ago and times(and prices) have changed!
Thank you so much Sushi Balloon staff! I hope you liked me as a client and I can't wait to come back!
