Went this last Tuesday and forgot to do a review! I went in…read moreto get a box of coils. The manager, whom is very nice and always helpful, not only sold me the coils but , as always, he changed them for me in 2 of my SMOK BABY 2 devices. I'm too afraid to do it myself and they have No Problem with changing them for me! When I first walked in though, I saw the store owner doing something so amazing to me, since I'm very new to vaping! He was actually building some sort of chamber for a customer, whom I believe is a regular. His unit , from what I heard was an older one and very big! What amazed me was that it had like 6 or 8 tall small coils that the owner actually had to wrap wire around each one and , I think but not sure, put cotton around? The whole process was naturally Very time consuming and Very Technical! It was VERY INTERESTING!! Anyways, I wanted to share this because I wanted other people to know about how knowledgeable these guys are and how serious they take their work as well as how much they really go out of their way for their customers.

I came in today and was having trouble getting the kiosk to work. Instead of offering helpful…read morecustomer service, the employee was extremely rude and unprofessional, even speaking to me in a condescending way and telling me how to spell something--which I am perfectly capable of doing. I was the only customer in the store for about five minutes, yet I still wasn't properly helped. Once a line started forming, he began focusing on online orders rather than finishing helping the customer who was already standing there and needed assistance. I have been a loyal customer and come here religiously, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Good customer service and simply treating people with respect go a long way. Unfortunately, you have lost a great and loyal customer today, and based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location to others.

I stopped in here a few months ago and had a lovely time as usual. When I realized today that after…read morea lifetime of patronizing this store, I had never written a review, I wanted to rectify that immediately. I was absolutely shocked when I opened the app and read the bad reviews on here. I made sure to read every single one of them and I think if you do that, you begin to see a pattern of people who are ridiculous and think that because they had a bad day or completely unrealistic expectations, they can strike out against a good business because they take no responsibility for their decisions. The Music Box has been the sole music store in Lodi for over 40 years. I "rented" my first violin from them when I was a small child and we purchased my sons trombone for band here 20 years later. At that time I was a single working mom and they allowed me to put my sons instrument on a payment plan. I actually missed the last payment because I had started working a second job and forgot to drop off the check. When I realized what I had done about a week later, I made sure to plan out a time to stop in at the store and pay off the instrument and apologize. However the day before I was to do that, I received a letter from the owner of this store. I fully expected it to be a demand letter with a late fee tacked on and I was ready for that as it was my own fault. Instead, the owner wrote that he understood I was working hard and was very busy and that he would like to gift me the last payment and let my son keep the instrument. I literally cried. Every experience I have had here has been beyond good. This is a small town store that stays alive because the owner and employees love what they do. The staff is thoughtful and caring as a customer for many many years, I highly recommend them for instruments, accessories, lessons, music or just to help you figure out what it is you need and I hope to see this store here for another 40 years to come.

I asked the guy behind the counter for a couple sets of classical guitar strings. He first reached for D'Addarios but I related my experience with broken strings with only that brand. He told me there was a brand of strings he sells the most of and handed me two sets of Fender strings. I was a little skeptical. I mean they were half the price of D'Addarios and packed in a somewhat plain paper package but why not? Guess what?! They're really good strings! They didn't break, they didn't slip at all and they brought the tone back to my 35 year old Takamine 300 series guitar. Now, here's where it gets cosmic. As I was paying for the strings a voice behind me says "what is your name?" And then "Where do you know me from?" I didn't immediately recognize who it was because of the glare from the windows but when I did I was gobstopped! It was none other than Tim Spencer! One of the best all round guitarists I've ever known. He teaches there a couple times a week. We talked for about 20 minutes and got kinda caught up. Small world. I like this shop!

We came in to get my bf tattooed, and I opted for a piercing. Wait time wasn't bad at all for us having just walked in. The shop was clean and well taken care of. My piercing experience was great. I got my conch (inner ear) done. I've been pierced by several different people in the past but TalkSick was the most memorable. I really appreciated how he put so much thought into my piercing placement so it would be as aesthetically pleasing and flattering as possible. He made the process fun and comfortable. He even checked on me later on, while I was watching my bf get tatted. Jess, the tattoo artist, did a GREAT job. She was easygoing, didn't waste any time, and her work is solid. The piece came out very clean (pic doesn't do it justice, trust me) and was exactly what my bf wanted. This was a birthday gift for him and he is very happy with it. We appreciate how professional and talented the staff at JB's Ink Therapy is, and have already started referring friends and family to their shop. Thank you to JB's for bringing quality and excellence to Stockton. I'm happy to support a black owned business and will definitely be back!
