Piercing Pagoda

Had a good experience both times (first piercing closed up after an infection, NOT caused by Piercing Pagoda or their earrings) that I took my daughter to have her ears pierced here. It’s essentially a kiosk in the middle of the Cherry Hill mall, and it’s not made special or a big deal by the employees (I see a business opportunity here!), but at least it was done with care and sterility. Luckily I had purchased the warranty (ear-​piercing ain’t cheap these days), so the re-​piercing was free with the original earrings and receipt/​warranty. The piercers were helpful and friendly, and very patient with me as I had them re-​dot her ear several times to make sure it was totally equal on both sides.

My two-​year-​old with earring-​envy decided she wanted her ears pierced. After calling 6 different places, I finally found someplace that could pierce two ears at the same time (a must for young children). We were helped by an associate named Marlena, who went out of her way to make our daughter feel comfortable with her and the whole ear-​piercing procedure. Plus, there was a large selection of piercing earrings made of gold, and the backing to the earring is rounded and covers the pointy back (neither was not the case at Claire’s, where my older daughter had her ears pierced). I highly recommend this location for any parent who wants his or her child’s ears pierced — just call ahead of time to make sure there are two people working.
