JayR did a phenomenal job piercing my daughter’s ears. He took the time to talk to all of us about the process, answered our questions, and made my daughter so comfortable. The shop is so clean. Could not be happier with the whole experience. I would definitely recommend Golden Aura to anyone!

JayR is one of a kind! Met him over at neon dragon and have followed him to his new beautiful studio! Him and his wife have done a beautiful job with their new business endeavors and store front. Can’t wait to come back!

Had the absolute most amazing experience at Golden Aura!!! Not only did i feel so incredibly welcome the second i walked in, i felt just as comfortable. Andy did my piercing... could have fooled me that he is an apprentice. The chemistry and comrade between him and JR was outstanding. I felt like i could be myself. I felt like my choices/wants mattered. I went in not being 100 percent sure what i wanted, and they were patient with me. I didn’t feel rushed or stressed in making my choices with my pieces. My past experiences at chain jewelry stores was nothing compared to the service i received here. I highly highly recommend Golden Aura for your piercings, holistic and/or energy needs.

Amazing shop with phenomenal jewelry and an awesome atmosphere. Jayr does a great job of explaining the piercing process and helping you curate the look you want!

Very clean and professional! My seven year old getting her ears pierced felt very comfortable because of JRs professional, yet relatable manner. Having taken another child to a place that used a piercing gun, I highly recommend Golden Aura for kids getting their ears pierced. The difference is how its done is night and day. Everything was so clean and sterile. I cant imagine well have any trouble with infection or changing out earrings when she is able to do so.

I recently stopped in for a piercing and am always happy to find JR working. He is the most knowledgeable and best piercer in town. Just like everything, you get what you pay for. I do not mind spending a little more with him and the fine quality jewelry he carrys. I know that I have in turn hired someone that is highly trained and experienced. Do not just go to any piercing shop, head over to Golden Aura in Marion as you will not be disappointed.

Excellent customer service. They really care about what and how you want your piercing and will work with you to achieve that goal.

Order several custom pieces at a great price. Jay R is a fantastic person to work with. Easy process and a variety of options to choose from to make your jewelry truly custom and wallet friendly. Will definitely be ordering again from here soon.

My sister and I have been getting pierced by JayR for a couple of years now. All our experiences with him have been amazing, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. The service and experience are amazing. And the jewelry he has available is great quality.

Super clean shop. Very professional and friendly. Great quality and selection of jewelry. I will definitely be going back.

JayR Was very flexible with rescheduling, the facility was clean, relaxing, and warming, and the process for my piercing exceeded my expectations. JayR was thorough in explaining everything from jewelry to piercing care and made me feel comfortable and calm during my piercing. I would highly recommend!

My daughter and I went there for a consultation today. we heard theres a piercing to help migraines / anxiety. After talking to JayR we were convinced that was the place to get it gone. We both picked out earrings but I wanted purple more. They told me they could order mine so I waited but my daughter wanted to get hers done right away. Highly recommend them to anyone!

I scheduled a Reiki and Biomat session today, but received so much more than that. Valerie is AMAZING! I have received several holistic therapies over the past 11 years, from several different providers and this was right up towards the top. I feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded, present and empowered than I have in a very long time. I HIGHLY recommend and can not wait for my next session!

JayR has been my go to Piercer in Cedar Rapids since I started getting pierced in 2017. He is one of the most knowledgeable, kind, caring, and relatable Piercer I know.Every appointment I have had with him has been a great experience. My questions (which are many) are all answered. I am treated with the upmost respect. He makes sure the placement of the piercing is within the alignment of my anatomy and preferred positioning too.The shop has a bright and cheery atmosphere that makes you feel welcome and safe as soon as you enter the door. The jewelry selection is still growing but the available choices are great and can be somewhat modified/customized too.If you are new to piercings or a veteran of the needle. JayR and co. Are the best in the Cedar Rapids/Marion district.

I’ve been wanting to work with JayR for a while now and finally scheduled an appointment online for a piercing. The location is completely zen and relaxing when you walk in, It really helps calm the nerves of getting a piercing. The professionalism, cleanliness and hospitality are unmatched in my opinion—not to mention the jewelry selection. Shoutout JayR and Matty for making my experience a great one! Will definitely be back!
