My time there was fun and easy. My Piercer who I sadly forgot their name, They were really great they made me feel relaxed and not stressed. The lady that helped me pick out jewelry was super helpful as I didnt know exactly what kind of jewelry I wanted. For it was my first time getting a nose piercing. And it was my first time being at High Priestess. I highly recommend.

Piercing was done with great care. All of the staff I worked with were very cautious to keep everything sterile and safe. But they are also hilarious, fun, and entertaining. Piercer put me at ease and was gentle. When I went back to downsize, I had another great experience with everyone. Even though they were running behind on appointments (not a normal day) they were apologetic and gave me great service again.

Had an amazing experience here with my 13 year old getting her upper cartilage pierced for her birthday. Staff were amazing and her piercer was very informative and straightforward about our options. (She wanted to get the double pierced bar across the top, but he informed us of all the care that takes and advised we start with the single piercing first to see how she does with that) and we couldnt of been happier with the outcome. Pricing was fair and I would 100% recommend this place to any and all.Side note on needing birth certificate for those younger than 18- we were just beginning to move into a new house and I couldnt find her b.c anywhere so called in before her appt and they worked with me and let me bring in her insurance card for her piece of identification as long as it contained her full name and mine, that with my ID was enough for her to get her piercing done. Thank God!!

Such an amazing experience. My daughters and I went in for piercings. I made the appointments ahead of time online. The shop is clean and professional. Kenny, at the Front Desk, answered all of our questions prior to getting our piercing and helped us with selecting our jewelry. They have an amazing selection and their prices are more than fair. The piercer, Zach, was a Guest Piercer. He was wonderful. He made everyone feel comfortable and the experience was quick and near painless. We felt well taken care of and would recommend High Priestess to anyone looking for a great experience with a fun, clean and professional atmosphere. We love our new piercings!

Super sterile and clean. Really nice guy who did my helix cartilage piercing. He talked me through exactly what he was gonna do and then exactly what I should do for aftercare. My piercing hasn’t gotten infected which is surprising for a cartilage piercing. Super cute and classy! Would 10/10 recommend!

I got my lip pierced by Danny, and it was an awesome experience! Danny is extremely professional and great at calming nerves! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Absolutely LOVE and would recommend a million times over again. Had a double forward helix done and it was completely painless. All the staff members were friendly and answered all my questions. No pain during the piercings and zero issues post-op. The soreness to touch was gone by day three.

100% recommend. Went to get my n*pples done. Not only was Danny professional and fun, he explained everything he was doing to me. He also switched out my daith jewelry because my original wasnt allowing proper healing. The amount of knowledge this man has is crazy! He was sharing stories about how the daith came to be and it was a super fun experience. Will be going back when I want more piercings despite it being a little more expensive than other piercing salons in the area.

Review №15

High Priestess insists upon a $5 entry fee to view their incredibly limited selection of jewelry. I enjoy knowing COVID-19 restrictions have drastically impacted the revenue of your business and is costing your employees a large amount of their income. Enjoy the struggle 😁

Very friendly staff , from the girl at the front desk to Jay the piercer . He did a great job at easing my anxiety and making sure I’d like my piercings as well as doing a good job of explaining the aftercare . Will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know and come back myself in the future for more ! Thank you guys !

Review №35

The nice guy doing the piercing was great. Two girls working counter out front not good front desk people. Stereo too loud to hear what they are saying behind plexiglass and masks. Boarder line rude. If that overwhelmed by Covid-19 they should close or get retrained. If it wasnt for my daughter wanting ears pierced I would of spent money elsewhere.

Ive had tattoos and piercings here and I would never go anywhere else! You get what you pay for and High Priestess is quality. Piercer Jay is professional, friendly, and skilled. Tattoo artist Flicka creates gorgeous tattoos that receive compliments near daily.

Ive had a variety of piercings done at HP and have never once been disappointed. Their staff is kind, helpful, and very personable. Their jewelry selection is fantastic and they do custom orders as well. Jay (the manager and a piercer) is phenomenal and I cant recommend him enough. Very clean and professional establishment that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. Ive been going for about 4 years and Ill continue to go for a long time

I am so very happy with my experience here and cant wait to come back. We came in during their event to help raise money for a pet charity. We got a little break on pricing and they donated a portion to a great charity!The lady working the counter in the front was super helpful and listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions before I got a nose piercing. She helped me pick out the perfect jewelry and I LOVE it!The piercer was an awesome guy who helped to make sure my new piercing would be set right and would be able to accommodate all kinds of different jewelry in the future. The piercing was quick and easy and he really helped put me at easy. I would go back to him over and over again.One of the other things I loved about this place was their pricing. I had looked at getting my nose pierced at another company about a year ago and they were over twice as expensive as High Priestess normal pricing. I really got a lot of great value for a VERY good price.Lastly, the shop was exceptionally friendly and LGBTQ friendly. As youll see in my other reviews... This is a VERY big deal to my family and myself. Not one time did I or my wife feel out of place or unwelcome here. I really cannot wait to go back!

Would definitely recommend. Very clean, nice staff, easy process. They were very knowledgeable, and my piercing process was very quick, easy and painless (I got my septum done). Overall, for my jewelery, piercing, and the little extra I paid for a HUGE bottle of spray, I paid $80, which was shockingly cheap for all of that, in comparison to other places. Definitely coming back later for my helix piercing sometime in November.

Review №50

Artists are knowledgeable, have really good talent, and are not priced badly. My mum and I went in to get matching tattoos and we were both done with in an hour and a half. You have to put down a portion of the cost of the piece to hold the appointment which is nonrefundable, but it makes sense because they want to make sure they are booking only serious clients that arent going to flake on them. Really nice and caring staff as well.

Hands down probably the best experience I’ve had at a piercing studio in years. Walked in and was seen within minutes to get my back dermals removed. They were super sore and I was obviously not super pumped to get them taken out but the piercer was AWESOME and he talked to me through all of it and always warned me before putting pressure & all that fun stuff.The studio itself it’s gorgeous and super clean and great vibes.Actually don’t think I’ll ever be going anywhere else for piercings now! Thanks guys!!

This is where I got my nose piercing done, Prices were a little high but the shop was super clean and the staff was very nice, definitely worth the couple extra bucks.

My best friend and I got our first tattoos there. Both designs were expertly modified by the artists Eric and Jessica and then placed on perfectly. Eric took time to make sure my hip tattoo was going to go with my figure and be flattering on my body. Jessica added some extra pop to my friends turtle and made it a truly adorable piece that she loves. I loved the attitude of the artists and their great sense of humor. They made our first tattoo experience a fantastic one.

Review №69

Absolutely wonderful piercing & tattoo studio. Its bright inside, with a comfortable layout, good waiting area, convenient Flash wall with stools to sit while perusing the Artists portfolios. The last time I visited, the countergirl seemed new to the position, & a little scatterbrained. She couldnt quite grasp the implications of my Blindness. Thats OK, though. Jay, whom Id never worked with, changed my nose ring quickly & painlessly. He was Extremely friendly, funny, helpful, & understanding of my disability. Most importantly, he was very polite & a perfect gentleman to my 75yr old Mom. Sometimes, people who work in the Body Art community, forget that not everyone has a foul mouth or appreciates crassness. Jay was NOT one of those. Also, hes a friend to Cats, as am I. Great place, great people, great prices. 👍👍😺

Review №77

Called at 2pm this afternoon asking if a friend and I could get in at 5pm today for a small, simple matching tattoo. The woman on the phone told us just to show up at 5 so we made the hour and a half drive to the shop. We arrived at 4:30 and told the woman at the counter we were there to get tattooed and were told someone else was a walk in and was going to be helped first (which was fine) and we were told another artist ran home to “grab something real quick”. After sitting there for 10-15 minutes she came over and told us there was no time today and that we could come back tomorrow. After I explained we called a few hours ago and were told to come at 5 she still told us there wasn’t time today. Pretty disappointing after driving all the way for things to turn out the way they did. Especially after my friend (who was with me) told me how great they were with her and her boyfriends tattoos that they got yesterday.

I had my nostril piercing done here and have always been happy with my piercing. I needed to have a retainer put in for some imaging, Jay was so nice when I came in to have my jewelry put back in after the imaging. He remembered why I had to have the imaging; it was a very sensitive situation for me. It meant a lot to me that he remembered. It had been a really hard few months for me and I really felt like he cared. Thank you for the personal touch. It matters.

Brought my daughter here to get her ears pierced about a month ago. Absolutely loved the staff and everyone was super happy and informative. Everyone was super supportive of my daughters ear piercing being her choice because shes not quite 4 years old yet. She was adamant about getting her ears pierced and everyone was okay with taking it at her pace. Her ears have been healing super nice and clean. This parent and child duo couldnt be happier. :D

This place is amazing. So knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Got 3 piercings 6 months ago here and due to my own fault, was having problems. Came back and they took care of everything to help them heal. I was afraid I was going to have to take them out permanently. Huge shout out to Jay! An amazing piercer - I didn’t feel anything having them cleaned and changed out.

Ive been going to High Priestess for a long time. All of my piercings are done by various piercers of theirs and Ive gotten a ton of fantastic tattoo work by Flicka.Flicka is always spot on with designs I love and is awesome to work with. Always plays good music, has good conversation and is very cultured and just an amazing artist.Jay, my piercer for the last 3 pieces Ive gotten done, is a specialist and does perfect work every time. Very knowledgeable and has good opinions but lets me decide what route I want to go with each piece. Good with walking me through what hes going to do before doing it.Always recommend them. All around high quality shop that doesnt miss a beat. From reception with Lily to all of the artists in the shop, if youre looking for the best, this is the place to go.See you all again soon!

Came in today and the manager was amazing! helped me with a new nose ring, and when I told him about a past experience without hesitation offered to fix the problem and Brian fixed my tattoo on the spot and Im in tears of joy and happiness that a tattoo I wanted for my terminally Ill son was finally done right and looks so good. I also came in Friday to get a new piece of jewelry for my monroe and Jay was awesome. knowledable and helpful. Thank you to the both of you for your amazingness! HIGHLY RECOMMEND BRIAN AND HIGH PRIESTESS FOR ALL PIERCINGS AND TATTOOS!

Review №99

Got my monroe done here a couple of years ago. They put the wrong bar in and my monroe was sinking into my skin because it swelled so much. They tried to charge me for the right bar! When it was their fault that they put the wrong one in because he thought I wasnt gonna swell that bad. I also got my nipples pierced here but they wouldnt help me replace my piercing because the jewelry wasnt from their shop. I didnt want to pay 100$ for their jewelry when I already had my own!

I went in on 7/26 to get my nostril pierced, my first non-earlobe piercing. Id wanted it for a really long time but I was still very nervous! Danny was amazing. He explained everything thoroughly, gave me plenty of time to psych myself up and get ready for the actual piercing, and was really nice and patient about the whole thing. I live up in Beaverton but I will definitely be going down to Salem when Im ready for my helix.
