| - Halo was a great experience!! I went back in March with a friend who was getting a second lobe piercing and I myself got my navel pierced. I knew of friends who had gone there for piercings and it was very close to us so we figured hey, why not?
We had Ana and she was just about the coolest person I've ever met. Something about her personality just makes you feel very reassured that she knows what she's doing. My friend has a huge fear of needles and I was very impressed that Ana saw that as completely valid (though my other friend and I were giving our friend a hard time about it) and did everything she could to make her feel at ease.
Ana was meticulous about having the correct spacing between the first piercing and the second, and making the second piercings look even, and had me and my other friend check her work. I was very impressed, when I got my doubles at Claire's it was nowhere near as detail oriented, oops!
Then came time for my belly button, and it was great!! I am so happy with the way it turned out, I love the jewelry I bought (not exactly cheap but worth the price to not get an infection from crappy metal) and Ana did an excellent job placing the piercing in the right spot. I paid about $120 total, $40 for the piercing and $68 for the jewelry, plus tax. There are cheaper jewelry options available, I just chose to go with a sterling silver curved bar with CZ stones at both ends, which I imagine is on the pricey side, though they did have yellow gold options available.
On a scale of 1-10, the pain was probably a 4. I've had bruises that hurt more than that did! Ana even said that cartilage hurts more, which I can see. The nice thing too is the only time it ever hurt was during the actual piercing, once the jewelry was in I could barely even feel that it was there!
Super cute and I got it with enough time to heal a bit before summer swim season. Ana was very strict about not swimming but I started swimming 2 months after with no problems. I even went to Panama and swam in rivers with god knows what living in it, and the ocean, but still no infection! I will say though that chlorine dries out the skin a lot and pools harbor a lot of bacteria so be sure to clean it after swimming.
Halo is the best and I recommend it to everyone I know!! Everything is super clean and the whole process is a well oiled machine and you really feel like these people know what they are doing. If I decided I want any more piercings, I will definitely go back!! Oh, and for all you teenagers out there, you get 3 free piercings on your 18th birthday (still have to buy the jewelry but hey that's a great deal).
