I made an appointment at Evolve hoping to get my right nostril pierced. Jessica asked if they were the ones who pierced my left nostril, and I told them no, that Id had it done 8 years ago, before I lived in the area. John became immediately apparently aggravated upon hearing that Id had my first nose piercing done in another shop. He took me to the back to look at my already pierced nostril, and the second my mask was down began ranting about all that was wrong with it. I would have appreciated if John had been at all able to communicate in an explanatory way how different my piercings might look, were he to go through with piercing the other side. However, he was only able to rant at me in a condescending manner, bobbing his head and body up and down as he interrupted any questions I attempted to ask just to repeat something hed already said. When we went back to the front, he repeated this behavior, interrupting Jessica, when I attempted to ask for her perspective on the same questions. I was extremely rushed to make a decision, and because of Johns short-temper, I decided not to get anything done at all. Had the environment not been so aggressively hostile, I probably would have just got a different piercing. I let them know the reason I would not be getting a piercing today had nothing to do with the placement, and was only because of how anxiety-inducing and uncomfortable the 7 minutes Id spent there had already been made to be. I did not receive a refund. I would not recommend this business if you are neurodivergent.
I've had ear, eyebrow, and genital piercings done here; they're always amazingly professional, down to earth, and very patient. They have great procedures for assuring that as the person getting pierced: I'm aware of the process, options available, after care, and resources in case something were to have come up after. I've gone there post procedure to get jewelery replaced, healing wounds assessed, and advice on other body modifications. Though the cast has been known to change over the years, the show has gone on in the spirit of positive and healthy community presence. Love this place!
This was my first EVER piercing for a Helix (cartilage) and an Earlobe. I felt safe and sane throughout the entire time and Cory is phenomenal. Gave me the best experience from the pierce to the aftercare and walkthrough. Im a client for life.
I purchased 3 pieces of jewellery from Evolve - although it was very expensive, I thought I'd support a local business rather than shopping online. 1 of the pieces has broken less than a year later. The shop has informed me that they will not replace it because it was not a high-quality USA-made piece of jewellery. What..? I certainly paid enough that I'd expect a moderately reasonable level of quality. So : shop here if you want the worst of both worlds -- low-quality import jewellery that you could buy at a quarter of the same price online, but sold to you at top-dollar boutique-store prices, and without any customer service to back it up.
