We happen to find this place on pure luck, since we were having lunch right next door. JW and Alex greeted us immediately. The guys's vibes were so chill and friendly.

This is my favorite piece so far. Thank you guys. Also Alex has a very light touch and wasn't too painful (just a bit on the shading, but to be expected)

So I knew when she got to age 5, I would feel comfortable with the piercing negotiations. She's been begging for earrings since she could talk, wearing paper clips, and clip-ons LOL for so long now. We finally had the big girl talk and I explained the whole process and how or what the pain level would possibly be. Once I felt sure that she understood and could handle the situation at hand. I jumped off the porch and said let's go baby. I called up her pediatrician and lo and behold they don't pierce ears. I was a little setback because I knew I wasn't going to some mall to get her ears pierced. I wanted to be somewhere that was focused on care and cleanliness. I found Rowan on magazine and it was everything and a little bit more. The fact that you had registered nurses to help you through the entire process. Along with a a bright airy open space, real gold earrings to start with. This place was checking off a lot of my wish list so I set the appointment. A surprising extra, the team is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have later on in the healing process.

At first he seemed fine, if gruff and not all that friendly. He the proceeded to give me both the worst tattoo and worst tattooing experience of my life. I am a heavily tattooed person - I have a full back piece and my hands and stomach tattooed - and the tattooed he put on my inner arm hurt more than any other tattoo I've gotten. It was almost as if he was enjoying causing me pain. When I winced he made mocking comments about my other tattoos being "fine line" no knowing that I have traditional tattoos other places on my body. And the tattoo itself is the worst applied one I've ever gotten. It's completely blow out and looks like I've had it for 100 years. I cannot recommend anyone get tattooed here.

My experience with Porter Lyons has been the worst I've ever had with a 'fine' jeweler. My fiancé…read morerecently purchased a ring from them, and it arrived with significant quality control issues. It was clear the ring was not properly built; the stone was visibly loose, wobbly, and audibly rattled with any movement. A different jeweler we took it to for repair explained the prongs were incorrectly installed/made and lacked the indentions needed to secure the stone. This shoddy craftsmanship was concerning, but what followed made the experience truly unacceptable. The ring arrived without any appraisal paperwork, raising immediate concerns about the materials and stones used (though thankfully, everything ordered stone/metal wise was received, apart from the poor craftsmanship). When I contacted the store to express my concerns about both the ring's quality and the missing appraisal, my issues were repeatedly ignored and dismissed. I was falsely informed they didn't offer or even provide appraisals for items purchased from them. Furthermore, I was told I couldn't discuss my issue further without an order number and that even speaking to someone in-store about repairs would incur a fee. The associate I spoke to over the phone, who had a thick accent, even refused to give me her name. My fiancé's call with a sales associate on a different occasion reinforced that appraisals weren't provided or sent with pieces, and that they wouldn't fix the ring without a consultation fee. Conveniently, on a more recent call with upper management, my fiancé learned we could have brought the ring in under warranty for a free repair - this revelation came the weekend after we'd already paid 20% of the rings price to have it fixed elsewhere. He was told that there was nothing else they'd do for us except allegedly send us appraisal paperwork. It felt as though our legitimate concerns were consistently brushed aside without serious consideration, regardless of whom we spoke with. The sheer lack of accountability and dismissive attitude throughout this entire process was truly astonishing. Between receiving a ring whose quality did not reflect its price point, and being told to effectively absorb the cost by everyone I spoke to, my dissatisfaction is unmeasurable. I would strongly advise customers to reconsider purchasing from Porter Lyons. The combination of shoddy craftsmanship and utterly unhelpful customer service has left me appalled. I will never recommend them or purchase from them again.
