I have not gotten a piercing done (yet?). If I do decide to put a hole in my body I'll definitely be coming back here with questions 1st, especially about price. Did 1 reviewer really have to pay $90 for both ear lobes to be pierced?!
I was in here on a Fri a little after 6pm. The friendly/funny guy behind the counter said Fri's could be semi busy. I'll keep that in mind if I ever come back. Don't come here thinking you can be in & out.
My first reaction walking in came from my nose. I couldn't help but blurt out, "Wow, now that's a smell." It smelled like major antiseptic. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It was just strong & a little unpleasant at first. I got used to it quickly.
To me, Halo is a mix between a:
1. Doctor/dentist office because of the smells.
2. Library because it can be so quiet it's almost uncomfortable at times.
3. Museum because of the glass cases of "jewelry".
There were 4 people sitting on the bench & 2 others on chairs almost in the hallway. I asked how long they'd been there. Only 2 people were having something done. 1 girl said she'd been helped but had been there for about an hour. If you've been helped then why do you still have to sit there?!
I know Halo has rave reviews, to say the least but the prices I've heard about & the whole waiting thing I encountered makes me pause before jumping on the band wagon (again, yet). I'm going to do my research on other places & then see how I feel.
