Came here for septum jewelry (my piercing was not done here) and I was told they can’t sell jewelry without the piercer present. The girl at the front said it’s because they don’t know the different gauge sizes and such… I know the gauge of my septum and my other body jewelry. I just needed to pick something out that would be safe for a scheduled MRI I had coming up. Just wish they were more transparent about this and what times and day their piercer is present since this is their rule. Otherwise it’s a good shop.

I brought my 15 year old daughter to get her nose pierced. Eric was amazing. He explained everything to her and made her feel very comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him for any piercings.

As a woman who was alone walking in, I have always been treated respectfully by both men and women employees, they are very helpful with questions that are not what many people are comfortable asking especially strangers. I never felt embarrassed or ashamed to talk about the topics I had questions about!!!

Absolutely love it there, it was the first time actually getting a facial piercing done professionally an the worker made it so easy for me, he reassured me and helped dial my anxiety down while making the whole piercing process quick and painless, Id definitely go back and get pierced again especially by the same worker an Eric or Erik if your reading this 10/10 thank you for making the piercing process quick and easy. Keep Up The Good Work. 👍😁

I brought my daughter to get her nose pierced for her birthday 🎂. I set an appt ahead of time but still ended up waiting about an hour before anyone even acknowledged us because it was so busy and they had fallen behind. The actual piercer that our appt was with had to leave because he ran behind leaving my daughter to get pierced by the apprentice. Needless to say, I was a bit worried that a professional wasnt going to do it....I mean this is my teenage daughter are talking about! The girl ended up being very nice and did a great job....it was more painful for me to watch then it was for her to get it done..lmao. Its also cool that they have a phone holder set up so you can record your whole session to show your friends or look back on yourself.

Review №16

My daughter had a very fresh septum piercing done elsewhere and one of the balls fell off of her bar almost immediately. I didn’t want to go back to the original piercer. We ended up at Lifestyles and they were amazing. Not only did I call twice that day (both young men were super nice and helpful) but when we showed up a young man (blue hair) was so sweet and patient trying to help find new balls for her circular bar.The piercer- Eric was so nice and professional. He was unable to get the new balls to fit so he replaced the entire ring (my daughter said with very little pain- FYI she said he made her feel really at ease). He also hooked me up and changed my new nostril stud with a much nicer one.Thanks Lifestyles and Eric, you made my daughter so happy. I would def recommend and we will come back again!

I bought one of the lower priced herb grinders with the metal prongs instead of the plastic spikes due to being told it’s better..two days later one of the metal pieces come off aaaand another few days later (today) one more comes off. Only a $7/8 grinder, but still. Just FYI to not buy them so this doesn’t happen to you👋

So I got my nose pierced here months ago before covid I trusted everything it was fine and then when it was time to take out the piercing it would not come out I just got it taken out and the piercers here it had to take two piercers to take it out and then they told it was a .... LIP RING A FREAKING LIP RING WAS IN MY NOSE never again I just hope everyone else’s experience was not like mine but no piercer should mess that up when you’ve been doing it for a long time

Got my nose pierced here today - Such a GREAT experience. I get very anxious with piercings but the piercer that works there was SO amazing about it. She was not judgmental and really worked hard to keep me calm. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about piercings. Would definitely recommend her!

I have never had a bad experience at the store no matter who was working. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. I absolutely adore Jessica and Taylor they both go out of their way to order any piercing jewelry I need. I have gotten a half dozen piercings done by both of them and never had a problem. I will always shop here for all of my needs!!

The girl doing the piercings was extremely nice and I appreciate her telling me that she wouldn’t do my belly button piercing because it would fall right out and leave a nasty scar. I will definitely go back for my other piercings (I have a few more ear piercings in mind). She was also very understanding when I got a little upset but I am glad she is not a con out to take money

Horrible customer service. Dude at the counter is always high. Not that I’m complaining about people being high, I don’t mind. Just take care of your job. They have an assortment of stuff. It’s like a Wiccan shop/smoke shop/ pop culture shop made a baby - lifestyles is what you get. A hodgepodge of “stuff”

Review №72

The only reason I’m giving this ANY stars is because they had the item I went into the store for.... Other than that, the staff was plain out RUDE... literally every single one of the 3 people there ignored me until I asked to see the vape batteries. if you’re looking for personable people this is NOT THE PLACE TO GO. Save your money and go to Rock And Smoke in Rocky Hill, where they at least greet you when you walk through the damn door. The only reason I would ever come back to this POS place is if I am DESPERATE.

Travel from towns over, just to see a sorry closed due to no heat! Visit our Walcott location except they arent opening at 9 to compensate for the closed waterbury location. Getting annoyed with businesses not updating websites about events or abrupt closes. Waste of time/gas and energy.

Really really nice place with a huge selection of quality handmade bowls and waterpipes, ranging from 15 for really small and basic bowls (still glass and high quality), to 1,000 for some fancy ass waterpipes. This place also has some pretty nice gifts, candles, incense, CBD stuffs, and other really nice stuff.Its my second time there and the staff is super chill and friendly. Every 200 dollars you spend there, you get a 20% off for the next purchase, and thats really awesome. Would definitely recommend it over any other smoke shop.

My wallet was stolen while in the store. The piercing lady immediately offered to have the manager check the cameras. Some time later the manager came out saying that the only camera that was facing where I was wasnt working, and had JUST turned on. This makes me suspicious that someone the manager knew or an employee took my wallet. The two piercing ladies offered to help me look around the store and in the parking lot for my wallet. The manager was NO help.
