text: Stupid wanting my nose pierced since I was like years old and putting it off because I was afraid of how bad it would hurtnnStupider getting five holes in each ear but not taking the plunge on the nosennStupidest finally getting the nerve to do it at the ripe age of only to find out it was less painful than getting my eyebrows waxednnMy husband came with me the night I finally said fit and spontaneously drove up the street to Halo to have my teen girl wish come true My previous experiences with piercing were at a doctors office where my mom took me as a kid Claires gasp and of course the DoItYourself Piercing Studio of my college dorm bathroom I had no idea what to expect out of a legit piercing place Halo impressed me from start to finish so much so that I am trying to think of other piercings to get just so I can go back there nnAna did my piercing and her professionalism was beyond outstanding She explained everything very thoroughly from the sanitation processes they use to aftercare and everything in between I felt very comfortable with her and confident in her abilities Unlike the something piercing gun wielding chick at Claires or my own unsteady hand Ana has expertise skill and passion for her work If you want it done right go to AnannThis place is spotlessly clean You watch them wipe down the chair you sit in They give you the marker they use to mark where your piercing will go because they will not reuse them nnThere is a lot of jewelry there but I like very simple jewelry so I did not really explore it that much I love the diamond and white gold piece for my nose and pretty much never take it outnnThe only thing I would offer as a criticism is it takes way too long to do anything there It took forever to get my nose done I do not want to rush the process and compromise on cleanliness or quality but there were little things like the checkout process that I thought could be sped up I had the same experience when I went with my husband to get his ears done and then also when I had to go to replace my nose stud because I lost mine after a night of drunken debauchery I guess the thing is do not go in thinking you are just going to get something done and then head home It is like the nail salon You are going to have to spend some time there if you want it done rightnnNow that I write this review I have reaalllly got the itch for a new piercing
