i am very disappointed in this place. i went here to get some new jewelry for some ear piercings (3 of them) and to have them change them.  i picked out the jewelry and has him change them for me. it was nearly $100 for them to change the jewelry and the new jewelry. i thought this was crazy!! two days later one of the jewelry isn't even the same color as it was. it originally was rose gold and all the rose gold was flaking off!!! now, about 3 weeks later my earring that i've had pierced for 4 years is infected.

These folks are professional rip off artists. I keep going back because it is convenient. Enough! No receipt after being WAY overcharged (but told I was getting a discount). And because I had not done my online homework I over paid for a device that is 1) no longer made and 2) they charged me twice what I would have paid had I ordered online. I knew it was overpriced, but it was not until the device did not work properly that I looked it up online. I hate feeling this stupid so I am here to say "don't, just don't give them your business". Additionally, they are smart enough to have a No Exchanges. No Return policy. Arrrrgh. Read Less

Over priced on vape pens. Why would I give you $120 for a Smok "brand" pen that cost $65 with shipping from Smok website. I think not.

I'll never do business here again. I went in and bought a small blue scorch torch for $19.99, and when I got it home it didn't work. I filled it up with butane and adjusted the settings, but it still would not produce a flame, so I brought it back in the next day and asked the manager if I was doing something wrong that the torch didn't work. He fiddled around with it and put more butane in it and was able to produce a very small flame at its highest setting. Not enough of a flame to do anything with it. I told him that the flame wasn't high enough and asked him if it can go any higher and he said no. He knew that i was dissatisfied, and didnt seem to care. His morale isnt there because this torch clearly wasnt functioning the way it should. He would not even let me exchange it for another one. DON'T BUY TORCHES HERE!!  They don't work, and when you try to take them back they will play with them and adjust them, and if even a tiny flame is produced, they will deem it as a functioning tool which is not the case at all. Really feeling schisted by this place. Read Less

I've been vaping long before the smoking law turned 21 and as someone with experience, this place just didn't do it for me. I was on the go and needed a quick replacement mod. They were selling starter kits 3-4x the average cost was. The employee was undermining me saying it was the "best" mod out there. Buddy, if it doesn't say Smok or Voopoo, it's not the best out there.

This review is specifically for HANNAH who works here. I wish I could give you 0 stars for your service today.I walked in here and Hannah was helping 2 other guys around the store, I wanted coals which are behind the counter so I got in line at the register. She brought them back and skipped them both ahead of me to check out even though the gentleman who was at the register had already offered to service me (BECAUSE I WAS NEXT IN LINE).So I spoke up... bc I hate when women treat other women like this. I asked her why she skipped two men in front of me and she said they came into the store first. So my response... and I quote:"when you step into a Safeway, does the order in which you walk into the store determine the order in which you are helped at checkout OR does the order in which you get in line at the register determine when you are helped?" She looked at me with a dead stare, said "well I helped them first" then she walked away when it was (finally) my turn!I'll be taking my business elsewhere. It is worth noting that there are 2 guys that normally work the counter (I've been coming to this place for many years) One is Mohammad I think and the other I cant remember but they have always been awesome and helpful.

came here last week to get my trageus pierced due the reviews saying they do piercings here since the other spot we checked out had no availability for us to get our piercings. We came in here was immediately greeted and we took a look at the jewelry. For a piercing it will cost you anywhere from 50-60 depending on what u get pierced and it come with an jewelry as well! The guy was very friendly and made sure I liked the markings of the piercing before he went and actually did the piercing. Due to my tragues being very small he had to attempt to put it in the hole twice but he took good care of me. Fast, easy, quick, and great customer service. Thank you guys! Read Less

Got my half back done here in 2008. Was visiting from Canada. Was just looking inside the shop. Talked to an artist there and told her what I was looking for. She drew it up that night and the next day I was under the needle. Took at total of about 9 hours, 6 1/2 the first sitting and just under 3 for the second. And for the cost of it, I couldn't get anything like it back home. The artist and I both had a passion for music and chatted about that for most of our time, among other things. The girl working the counter was an Edmonton Oilers fan. The funny thing is, that is where I'm from. Great experience I had.Read Less

Don't buy a product here unless you read the obscure, thigh-level paper sign that states, "All Sales Final. No Returns or Exchanges."I purchased a product here that did not function. I took the product to a second party source to verify that it didn't work. I brought the product back to the person I purchased from, Mohammad, along with the store's original receipt. Mohammad pointed to the sign and told me he wouldn't refund my money, but he would offer me an exchange. (This contradicts the sign!) I did not want an exchange as I purchased a superior replacement product from a reliable company that stands behind the products they offer to their customers.Buyer beware! Read Less

My partner and I come in here regularly now for 2 reasons.1. I enjoy their piercing jewelry selection. It is much higher quality than the cheap crap I find on Amazon. They frequently update their inventory (especially belly button rings, charms and dangles) and their pricing is consistent based on trays. Last week I found a Hello Kitty one here and about pissed my pants in excitement. That alone bumps their stars up past 5 because Hello Kitty and I are baes! Word.2. Vape supplies. This part is all on my partner. He's bought 2 vape pens here and a variety of juices. He goes through juice fast so we've made several trips here the last few months. The pricing is reasonably moderate and the pay off (this has helped him STOP smoking) is worth every penny spent. He's like a kid in a candy store with their massive juice selection and the workers are always willing to help hook him up to best suit his needs.Side note which I feel is important to address: I feel comfortable in this shop. As someone who is openly queer and transgender, it's important I feel this way. My partner and I are always treated with respect and that keeps us happy, loyal customers. Parking: If you score it in front, take it! Just watch out for the bus zone. Otherwise, there's parking along the side in the El Grullense lot. This shop is a great addition to Redwood City. Come here before considering going to some small run down shop elsewhere. Vibes makes it happen :) Read Less

I have had both my belly button and nose pierced here (within a span of 2 years).  I don't recall who pierced me but it was done very quickly. I walked in both times, and I was instantly given service. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. My nose was placed perfectly and has given me so much confidence. My naval was perfect and straight! The piercer did an amazing job and had everything sanitized, opened everything and was very prepared (including having extra balls in case if he dropped one). Now I'm not sure if it is now under new management or not, but I recently went in to get some more nose studs. The man behind the counter was very nice. I had only brought in a 20 and he cut me a deal so I wouldn't have to walk back out to my car (it was raining). I plan on coming back here soon to have both my nipples pierced!! Read Less

I got my lip pierced here and they pierced it completely crooked. When I called to inform them about their mistake the manager offered me a full refund. Now that I'm in here talking to that same manager he's fighting with me claiming that he didn't say those exact words. He's saying it's not crooked when it is, this that and the other. I'm extremely upset with how they go about things here. 4 or 5 of my friends have been pierced here and ended up having issues with the piercings in the long run. Not only did he claim he would give me a full refund but now he's refusing to give me my money, saying that I'm lying to him about the piercing being crooked when I'm not. This is hands down ridiculous, he is legit fighting with me like a child. All because he's too strung up on his ego to keep his word. I've had two OTHER piercers tell me that the piercing is crooked. Now the manager has the audacity to ask me what I do for a living, telling me my 'opinion' is wrong. When it's not an opinion. I've had two piercers tell me it's crooked, this manager said he'd give me my refund. This is now my third time here this week trying to talk to him, now that I get to speak with him he's claiming he wont give it to me. Moral of the story, never get anything pierced here. Read Less

To be honest I was dreading going here to get a piercing and almost chose somewhere else. I've had bad experiences here in the past. This time when I walked in the place was clean and there was someone waiting to help me. He was very informative and patient as I asked to see the jewlery. They had a good selection and I found what I came for. When it came time for the piercing he was confident, calming, and quick. Everything was sanitary and labeled.

Insert the usual 'I would rate this zero stars if I could' line. And this is coming from someone who's never written a bad review before.I went in here a little over a week ago and got my bridge and septum pierced by Andrew. As a person, Andrew was very nice and friendly, which is great and much appreciated to the point where I was hesitant to leave a poor review, but it needs to be done.My bridge piercing was so shallow that by the second day the bar was starting to show through the skin, which means you better remove it unless you want some gnarly scars as rejects right through your skin.When I got my septum done, there was a bit of bleeding on one side but I didn't think too much about it. Andrew looked it over and cleaned it up, and by the time I was able to look at it, the swelling and scabbing made it a little hard to see the placement.Now I can see the placement. It's both too low, and the exit doesn't even go through my nostril. It goes right through my columella (I'll be adding a photo so you can see). I have seen poor septum placement before, but I have never seen it so bad that it misses the nostril itself.I have an extremely difficult time believing a piercer wouldn't notice this mistake. Needless to say, I'm taking my septum out as well. I know some people will say most piercers will repierce a bad job for free, but with both piercings being bad, I can't imagine any others would be good. Read Less

I'll never do business here again. I went in and bought a small blue scorch torch for $19.99, and when I got it home it didn't work. I filled it up with butane and adjusted the settings, but it still would not produce a flame, so I brought it back in the next day and asked the manager if I was doing something wrong that the torch didn't work. He fiddled around with it and put more butane in it and was able to produce a very small flame at its highest setting. Not enough of a flame to do anything with it. I told him that the flame wasn't high enough and asked him if it can go any higher and he said no. He knew that i was dissatisfied, and didnt seem to care. His morale isnt there because this torch clearly wasnt functioning the way it should. He would not even let me exchange it for another one. DON'T BUY TORCHES HERE!!  They don't work, and when you try to take them back they will play with them and adjust them, and if even a tiny flame is produced, they will deem it as a functioning tool which is not the case at all. Really feeling schisted by this place. Read Less

This review is specifically for HANNAH who works here. I wish I could give you 0 stars for your service today.I walked in here and Hannah was helping 2 other guys around the store, I wanted coals which are behind the counter so I got in line at the register. She brought them back and skipped them both ahead of me to check out even though the gentleman who was at the register had already offered to service me (BECAUSE I WAS NEXT IN LINE).So I spoke up... bc I hate when women treat other women like this. I asked her why she skipped two men in front of me and she said they came into the store first. So my response... and I quote:"when you step into a Safeway, does the order in which you walk into the store determine the order in which you are helped at checkout OR does the order in which you get in line at the register determine when you are helped?" She looked at me with a dead stare, said "well I helped them first" then she walked away when it was (finally) my turn!I'll be taking my business elsewhere. It is worth noting that there are 2 guys that normally work the counter (I've been coming to this place for many years) One is Mohammad I think and the other I cant remember but they have always been awesome and helpful.

came here last week to get my trageus pierced due the reviews saying they do piercings here since the other spot we checked out had no availability for us to get our piercings. We came in here was immediately greeted and we took a look at the jewelry. For a piercing it will cost you anywhere from 50-60 depending on what u get pierced and it come with an jewelry as well! The guy was very friendly and made sure I liked the markings of the piercing before he went and actually did the piercing. Due to my tragues being very small he had to attempt to put it in the hole twice but he took good care of me. Fast, easy, quick, and great customer service. Thank you guys! Read Less

Got my half back done here in 2008. Was visiting from Canada. Was just looking inside the shop. Talked to an artist there and told her what I was looking for. She drew it up that night and the next day I was under the needle. Took at total of about 9 hours, 6 1/2 the first sitting and just under 3 for the second. And for the cost of it, I couldn't get anything like it back home. The artist and I both had a passion for music and chatted about that for most of our time, among other things. The girl working the counter was an Edmonton Oilers fan. The funny thing is, that is where I'm from. Great experience I had.Read Less

Don't buy a product here unless you read the obscure, thigh-level paper sign that states, "All Sales Final. No Returns or Exchanges."I purchased a product here that did not function. I took the product to a second party source to verify that it didn't work. I brought the product back to the person I purchased from, Mohammad, along with the store's original receipt. Mohammad pointed to the sign and told me he wouldn't refund my money, but he would offer me an exchange. (This contradicts the sign!) I did not want an exchange as I purchased a superior replacement product from a reliable company that stands behind the products they offer to their customers.Buyer beware! Read Less

My partner and I come in here regularly now for 2 reasons.1. I enjoy their piercing jewelry selection. It is much higher quality than the cheap crap I find on Amazon. They frequently update their inventory (especially belly button rings, charms and dangles) and their pricing is consistent based on trays. Last week I found a Hello Kitty one here and about pissed my pants in excitement. That alone bumps their stars up past 5 because Hello Kitty and I are baes! Word.2. Vape supplies. This part is all on my partner. He's bought 2 vape pens here and a variety of juices. He goes through juice fast so we've made several trips here the last few months. The pricing is reasonably moderate and the pay off (this has helped him STOP smoking) is worth every penny spent. He's like a kid in a candy store with their massive juice selection and the workers are always willing to help hook him up to best suit his needs.Side note which I feel is important to address: I feel comfortable in this shop. As someone who is openly queer and transgender, it's important I feel this way. My partner and I are always treated with respect and that keeps us happy, loyal customers. Parking: If you score it in front, take it! Just watch out for the bus zone. Otherwise, there's parking along the side in the El Grullense lot. This shop is a great addition to Redwood City. Come here before considering going to some small run down shop elsewhere. Vibes makes it happen :) Read Less

I have had both my belly button and nose pierced here (within a span of 2 years).  I don't recall who pierced me but it was done very quickly. I walked in both times, and I was instantly given service. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. My nose was placed perfectly and has given me so much confidence. My naval was perfect and straight! The piercer did an amazing job and had everything sanitized, opened everything and was very prepared (including having extra balls in case if he dropped one). Now I'm not sure if it is now under new management or not, but I recently went in to get some more nose studs. The man behind the counter was very nice. I had only brought in a 20 and he cut me a deal so I wouldn't have to walk back out to my car (it was raining). I plan on coming back here soon to have both my nipples pierced!! Read Less

I got my lip pierced here and they pierced it completely crooked. When I called to inform them about their mistake the manager offered me a full refund. Now that I'm in here talking to that same manager he's fighting with me claiming that he didn't say those exact words. He's saying it's not crooked when it is, this that and the other. I'm extremely upset with how they go about things here. 4 or 5 of my friends have been pierced here and ended up having issues with the piercings in the long run. Not only did he claim he would give me a full refund but now he's refusing to give me my money, saying that I'm lying to him about the piercing being crooked when I'm not. This is hands down ridiculous, he is legit fighting with me like a child. All because he's too strung up on his ego to keep his word. I've had two OTHER piercers tell me that the piercing is crooked. Now the manager has the audacity to ask me what I do for a living, telling me my 'opinion' is wrong. When it's not an opinion. I've had two piercers tell me it's crooked, this manager said he'd give me my refund. This is now my third time here this week trying to talk to him, now that I get to speak with him he's claiming he wont give it to me. Moral of the story, never get anything pierced here. Read Less

Insert the usual 'I would rate this zero stars if I could' line. And this is coming from someone who's never written a bad review before.I went in here a little over a week ago and got my bridge and septum pierced by Andrew. As a person, Andrew was very nice and friendly, which is great and much appreciated to the point where I was hesitant to leave a poor review, but it needs to be done.My bridge piercing was so shallow that by the second day the bar was starting to show through the skin, which means you better remove it unless you want some gnarly scars as rejects right through your skin.When I got my septum done, there was a bit of bleeding on one side but I didn't think too much about it. Andrew looked it over and cleaned it up, and by the time I was able to look at it, the swelling and scabbing made it a little hard to see the placement.Now I can see the placement. It's both too low, and the exit doesn't even go through my nostril. It goes right through my columella (I'll be adding a photo so you can see). I have seen poor septum placement before, but I have never seen it so bad that it misses the nostril itself.I have an extremely difficult time believing a piercer wouldn't notice this mistake. Needless to say, I'm taking my septum out as well. I know some people will say most piercers will repierce a bad job for free, but with both piercings being bad, I can't imagine any others would be good. Read Less
