| - It's a nicely laid out shop with lots of jewelry options,but the buck stops there.
The best friend wanted an ear piercing.You know,the kind you can get at Piercing Pagoda from some high school kid working their way through summer.
Well,he had his earring with him(14k gold stud).The person who came to assist us refused to do the piercing because she stated it HAD to be done with a hoop not a stud...
Her reasoning had to do with proper healing,infection etc...
He stated he could not wear even the smallest of hoops to work,but could wear a small non descript stud.
She was pretty insistant and not the most pleasant in her explanation of why she could not place the jewelry he requested.
In fact,she was downright arrogant and condescending.
Since she was adamant about only placing hoops,I asked if I could bring my gold hoops in and have my nipples pierced.
Then she tells me she could not place hoops only barbells!!!!!!!!
Okay,I'm starting to understand now...
She doesn't want our business.
Why?Dunno.Maybe we weren't cool enough for her or something.Or maybe it was decreed we were too mundane in our simple piercing choices.
Whatever.
So,we take a trip over to West Coast Beauty Supply where I have an account,purchase a disposable piercing kit for 6 bux,go back to his place and I did the piercing for him.
With a stud.
It never gave him any trouble either.No infection,no problems healing,his ear never did fall off.
And no,he did not return the favor of assisting with my piercings!lol
I will have those taken care of the next time I see Fakir in California...
So the staff at Halo,you can just take a flying leap into Lake Uber...
*****9/4/09 Update.*****
So the owner sent me an incredibly detailed and informative response to my review.
For that alone I will bump this up by 2 stars.
I greatly appreciate Glenn taking the time to write something so much more than the standard form reply.
He states the experience I had he feels is linked to an employee no longer employed with Halo based on the details of my review.
I will give them another shot at my business and update this review again at that time.
