I had a great experience getting my second hole on my ears. The staff was professional, careful and most of all clean. It was very quick and easy. They explained to me how to care for piercing at home. Very satisfied and will return.

I had a chance to stop at this shop a few times, but my last trip was most memorable. Purchased a few items for my teen’s birthday. Young Lady at the front was extremely helpful. Picked out an outfit, a top, bralette, Pura Vida bracelet. My daughter LOVED everything. It was her first time at the store, since we don’t live close. But we’ll definitely be back when in the area.

So happy, I found Village Streetwear for my bellybutton piercing. I came and had it done but was not 100% happy. I came back to see if there was anything that could be done and was lucky enough to meet Lesa. She was so sweet, so knowledgeable, took her time to listen to my concern, fixed what I had asked and made sure that I left a happy customer. I will make sure to use them in the future!

Came here to get my daughter’s ears pierced and they look great! The best part of our visit was how incredible Erin was and how attentive she was when my daughter fainted. Would recommend this place every time!

I am extremely angry with the people from village streetwear. I have been there multiple times, paid for multiple piercings and have received the same extremely rude treatment. I have been denied piercings because of my curly hair and have experienced racism and discrimination everytime I have come in for a piercing. Not only are they racist and rude but they also misinform customers with false information. Everytime I have gotten a piercing they MAKE me buy new clean supplies even though I already have plenty at home. The cleaning instructions they give you are WRONG. I have had to go to multiple different piercers to fix mistakes they have made. Everytime they ask what I clean with, I tell them village streetwears cleaning instructions and they are shocked this the wrong instructions given on the paper they give you. Today, I called in multiple hours in advance to ask if I could get my nose piercing stud switched out for a hoop I had previously bought. On the phone I was told it was no problem and it was going to be 5$. When I get there, I was told I could not change it because my hoop “went through from the back”. Everytime I come here I have to drive 45 minutes to an hour. I have given them multiple tries but this is the last straw. I DONT RECOMMEND!

I’ve been going to village streetwear for over 25 years, dating back to their original Bellmore location. I can not say enough good things about lesa and her amazing staff. They are kind and amazing at what they do. They even pierced my daughter’s ears when she was a baby. They truly know what they are doing and they have a HUGE selection of jewelry. This is where you want to get pierced!!!

Would not recommend getting pierced here. The piercings they use are too small for ear lobes and do not give your body enough room to expand due to swelling while healing. I got my 2nd ear lobe piercings done here 6+ weeks ago. My first hole healed extremely poorly from the start, and began bleeding and oozing profusely even with adequate cleaning. It hurt so much that I removed the piercing early because I was afraid of getting an infection or keloid. The second piercing, while I thought healed fine, did not. I just attempted to remove the earring to replace it because it’s been more than 6 weeks, and had a very difficult time. Eventually, I was able to pull it out and the earring and the earring back came out in one piece. I’m not even sure how that happened, tbh, but this is how this piercing healed in my ear. Now this lobe is also bleeding and oozing pus.

I have many piercings and many tattoos and know how to clean piercings and tattoos. This is the first time I’ve gotten a piercing here, and it is also the first time a piercing of mine has healed improperly. Would not recommend getting ear lobe piercings here. Can’t speak for any other type of piercing, though.
