I'll admit it... I don't have any piercings besides my ears that have been pierced since I was five. That said, Halo is one of my favorite places to shop. The jewelry selection at Halo is unparalleled! I have found amazing deals (like the fabulous skull necklace that EVERYONE comments on and I got for a steal) and gorgeous indulgences (like the awesome blood-wood earrings I put on to show off... mind you they were only an indulgence because I am a student and have a $0 jewelry budget.) I haven't broken down and picked up one of the glass bracelets I ogle every time I stop in yet, but it is just a matter of time.
Though I haven't gone "under the needle" myself, I have accompanied friends to Halo to be pierced. Without a doubt it is the cleanest and most professional piercing place I've ever seen. The staff are always knowledgeable and I have even seen them turn down business rather than do a piercing they knew wouldn't heal and maintain well. I wish I could get integrity like that from some other businesses!
Honestly one of the best locally-owned businesses in town (and I make a point to shop local whenever it is reasonable to).
