Danett and Glo were amazing. Danett was so gentle and kind. She was great with my baby girl. Explain everything from what she recommended, the process of how her ears would be pierced and the after car. The processes was quick and sanitary. Thank you so much. I cried more than my little one but she did great.

Store 2518’s worker with the red hair (Kat) is very RUDE ! She’s dismissive and unappreciative of the customers that provide service. I had to walk to 221 to get PROPER and COURTEOUS assistance.

JV took the time out to pick out a special gift for my god daughter. He knew exactly what he was talking about when it came to the kids jewelry and he made me feel comfortable during the process. Very helpful very professional!

Once you have a relationship with a great jewelry associate you would prefer to go wherever they are. I love Kat and Jevon so much that I had to drive all the way to Patrick Henry Mall just so I could make my purchase from their store. Jevon helped me pick out a couple of gifts for Christmas but made sure that I was getting the best bargain possible and taking advantage of that no interest for 6 months on a purchase over $300. Just think of how much money I saved! I love it! You guys are the best!

Just stopping in to give my two cents. Kathryn is by far my favorite jeweler in the 757. I’ve been shopping with her 2016. Every birthday and holiday she’s the first person I call because I know for a fact she’ll have the best of the best. Not only does she treat me like a customer, she treats me like family. It’s very hard to find people like her now of days. If you guys need jewelry please contact Kathryn. She’ll have your back!

I had an amazing experience at Banter! I was looking to buy my first real gold chainHanna was so helpful in giving me the best options for my price range. She even set me up with a leasing deal so I can afford great quality jewelry! I ended up buying a 14k gold chain, plus screwback earrings that matched perfectly! I was so pleased with the service I came back and bought my wife a new ring. Will definitely recommend!

Review №46

Had my ears pierced. When I got home I noticed that I had been charged 20.00 for ear care solution. Most offer it free but not in this case. The young lady didnt even say we suggest you purchase the ear care solution etc.... Give me the option to purchase or not. Dont just charge my card and I find out when I get home and look at my receipt. Not only that but while checking out I noticed she had snuck in a 2 year extended warranty charge which I didnt ask for and didnt want. I used the promo of getting a pair of earrings for 50% off went along with my ear piercing. Take the time and review your receipt before you leave. Dont end up with a expensive surprise like I did.

Review №90

Just left this place and there was no customer service at all. My sister and I approached the Pagoda, no one greeted us or even asked could they help with anything. Granted, it was 5:35, so I know you’re ready to go because it’s almost closing, but still, it’s not 6 yet so we could’ve AT LEAST gotten a “Hello, how are you?”. The young lady that rang my sister up was rude also. Definitely will be going to a different Pagoda next time. This is the first one I’ve been to where there was absolute no customer service.

Stay far away. They don’t have experience within the piercing industry. I got a cartilage piercing (I thought they were legit) but they used a gun, didn’t use gloves, and gave me a butterfly back. When it didn’t go through I was told I couldn’t get a refund and I needed to come back the next day. I did because I lost $80 for nothing and the manager did it. It went through but I still had a butterfly back for a cartilage piercing… save your money and don’t go here :)
