The young man provided good customer service he politely asked me to wait while he cleaned after a previous customer, and talked to me while doing my piercing.

I came to Knotty Headz with no expectation of professionalism because of the reviews some people have left. I couldnt have been more wrong. Rudy was absolutely awesome with a very professional, laid back kind of fella. Which is the perfect attitude for a piercer in my opinion, because alot of folks come in scared but he has a calming aura about him that makes you feel instantly comfortable.My only negative comment is the place needs a new paint job. Its an old building and its very apparent..but still very clean and double glove changes when he switched to the next piercing. Rudy, you should raise your prices. You are worth it!I have been back three times. Each time I get the same type of service.

I have had two nose piercings and ear piercings. There is a 2 person limit in the shop at a time so a little wait but still moves pretty quick. Hes straight to the point and knowledgeable of his craft. Inexpensive compared to other shops.

Make sure you are charged the correct price on Tuesdays or maybe their specials have ended. Friendly staff. Wait maybe a little long but Services were smooth fast and friendly.

I got both sides of my nostril pierced and my conch. And let me just say I will most definetely be coming back for future piercings. They dont overcharge and the guy who pierced me was very nice, calm, and gentle. I got my nose pierced 3x at Korupted in sumter and it hurt way worse there and korupted wouldnt place it where I wanted. Im very picky about placement and at Knotty Headz he was patient with me and got it where I wanted it. Most definetely come here for your piercings!!

I understand they’re much cheaper than most piercing parlors and maybe today was just a bad day... However, there customer service is TERRIBLE. At the end of the day, you’re in a business of serving people. You should try to keep some point of professionalism at all times. I appreciate them being open on Sundays, which is convenient. But I’ll never go back to this location.

Duran was AMAZING!! VERY PROFESSIONAL, talked to me throughout the entire process and he took his time. Very calm and relaxed gentleman. The entire station was sanitized with clean needles and a strict adherence to DHEC and covid procedures. All my piercings have been done here. No pain! Quick and reasonable prices! Love my jewelry and my experience

Place looks suspicious upon arrival, and the staff doesn’t have the best customer service, but my helix piercing from here healed worlds better than my multiple lobe piercings I got done elsewhere (for those unfamiliar, the risk of cartilage piercing is way higher so this shouldn’t be the case)! Got another piercing done there today. Definitely do your own research online for the most up-to-date aftercare but the piercing process is well done here

Did a great job on my earring piercings and my sons lip piercing. Will be going back to get my other anti helix piercing when the 1st one heals.**Update** Went back and got second anti-helix piercing. It went quickly and he did a great job as expected.

Would of gotten 5 stars if they wasn’t 20 min late today opening up shop tho wasn’t that excited to be chillin outside for 20ish minutes being swarmed by wasps. But I get life sometimes happens. And folks be late.It’s not the most fanciest place in the world. But they are pretty clean. Guy that did my medusa used clean tools gloves etc and was very gentle and nice. And VERY decently priced. I would come back.

Review №24

Never again. The boy who was paid to simply switch my nose ring to a hoop (which I also purchased there), Epic Fail... Less than 24hrs, the hoop was NOT clamped together, therefore it fell out & I now have to get a whole new piercing. But, the guy w/the dreads who initially pierced my nose, now he was on point! Too bad HE wasnt there that dreaded day... Smh

Had nose pierced. The piercing was pierced at the wrong angle therefore the cz stud was angled towards my face. Its been 6 days and I have since removed. Then after removing, I noticed the straight part of the corkscrew that attaches to the gem was bent!!! Buyer beware!! Piss poor from the rip!!

Review №29

We went to have my daughters nose pierced. Heard they were good and also had good prices. When we arrived we had to wait outside due to Covid restrictions which was okay, but when the door opened and someone came out, the smell of marijuana immediately hit us in the face!! If you wanna smoke dope, fine, but not inside of a tattoo and piercing business!! Seriously????I also noticed the condition of the floor and walls inside and they were filthy! We left immediately! Do not waste your time and money here!

A couple of days ago I got my nostrils and septum pierced here by Duran. All of the piercing equipment came directly out of brand-new sterile packaging, and Duran cleaned my nose thoroughly before piercing. He was also super chill and helped me calm down a bit as I was pretty anxious. Additionally, he did them very quickly and smoothly, which made the experience that much better. The piercings look great and they are healing up well already. Definitely recommend this place, and they have amazing prices too!

Review №37

If you care about the people who will be piercing your body caring about you, DO NOT GO HERE. Terrible customer service!!! The guy was rushing us, very rude, and didn’t care one bit about it. At first I thought he was jokingly being mean because it was so overt, but after a couple interactions it was too much and I couldn’t tell if he was playing around or not. I’m big on professionalism and there was absolutely none. Not to mention there is very little to choose from jewelry wise, so if you’re like me and want you’re first piece to be nice/cute because you can’t change it for months, then don’t do it here. There was only one ugly selection, no choices to purchase. I absolutely left and will be taking my business else where. I refuse to be treated like that in any establishment ESPECIALLY one in which you are altering my body in any way!

Start off with a shout out to Duran, he was prompt and courteous. Everything was straight forward and didnt take any time at all. Yes, because of corona the number allowed inside at one time might make you have to wait outside but you wont wait long at all. Great place with plenty of experience which makes it perfect for veterans or newcomers.

Review №44

I got a tongue piercing and he suggested putting the metal bar in my mouth after I said I wanted the plastic piercing to start with. The bar was extremely heavy and long in my mouth. The metal bar after three days started to turn a different color and resulted in a painful jaw infection. After realizing that I was undergoing unusual pain in my mouth I took the metal bar out, examined it, and saw the discoloring. Thankfully, I bought another piercing from them just in case something like that happened. I did switch bars thankfully. It was very painful because I had just got the piercing approximately 4-5 days ago. To leave on a positive note, it was fast paced and the two guys were quite funny.

This probably has to be one of the most unprofessional establishments I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. Professionalism and customer service is completely non existent. To make matters worse the business smelled like marijuana so it’s evident someone either had it on them or was around it. My piercing is crooked; will not return and do not recommend.

Very unprofessional & I know for a fact that I dropped some money here & I called to see & they told me that it wasn’t there. When I was getting pierced, the needle was just about through when he decided to tell me to take a deep breath. 0/5 would definitely not recommend.

Alex was very professional, courteous and friendly. My vision became his challenge and he exceeded my expectations by a landslide. Hands down one of the best in the business. I give them 5 stars only because there are no more stars on the board to give. If they add more I would again check them all. Thanks Knotty heads. C U soon!!!!Adrian

I got my first tattoo about 14 years ago but not here. I have wanted to get another for a long time.I finally worked up the nerve and so glad I did. Shawn was great. He really tried to work with me to come up with a design I would be happy with. You can tell he takes pride in his work and that is the kind of artist you want. The shop isnt huge and fancy but it doesnt have to be, what matters is cleanliness, service, and skill. I am very pleased and will definitely be back!

Very clean, friendly and helped me feel welcomed and answered my questions and didnt rush me and took his time making sure I got exactly what I wanted to get.I highly recommend getting piercing by a man that works there with dreads (sorry, forgot to ask his name)They sell after care products and offer many piercing choices to choose from.

I drove an hr to get the Christina piercing. When I got home I notice the piercing was crooked so I called the guy to let him know. He told me to come back so I had to drive another hr there. He had to take the piercing out and pierce it over. That piercing hurt!!! Why wouldn’t you do it right the first time?!! That area is nothing to play with down there. He did corrected it the second time. I ask him for a refund and he said he couldn’t do it because management will think he’s stealing! Are u serious? He should have called management and tell them what happened. I will never go there again!!! Raw Piercings was my first choice but they was closed when I came to Columbia. I should have waited.***UPDATE*** okay so I went to a DIFFERENT PIERCER to get my helix done. I told them about my my so called Christina piercing which they took a look at it and guess what?? It’s not a Christina piercing at all!!! I just told them to take it out cuz I’m pissed. I ask the guy why the piercing was not showing on top and he was coming up with all these excuses. They need to do better!!! So now I have to one to two weeks to get my CHRISTINA PIERCING DONE RIGHT!
