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?!\n\nI 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.\n\nMy 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.\n\nTo me, Halo is a mix between a:\n1. Doctor/dentist office because of the smells.\n2. Library because it can be so quiet it's almost uncomfortable at times.\n3. Museum because of the glass cases of \"jewelry\".\n\nThere 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?!\n\nI 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."^^ . .
