I took my 6 month old daughter here to get her ears pierced. Sarah helped us, She was friendly and knowledgable. The whole process was very easy and faster than I expected. I’m totally satisfied with my experience and results. I will definitely refer friends and family to Pagoda.
The only thing that is on my con list is that is wasn’t and actual store, it’s a kiosk in the middle of the mall. But that’s a minor detail.

I thought about getting my ears pierced in December and now that it’s 2014, new year, time for a new thing! I got my ears pierced here yesterday. So far no problems :)
The guy helping me out was really friendly and nice. Haha he was willing to answer all my questions about earrings since I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. Picked a pair of piercing earrings, signed a consent form, paid, and then *bam bam” my ears were pierced!
It does hurt a bit, like someone pinching your ears really hard, but nothing too bad. Maybe more like getting a shot from the doctors [will that scare people away?]
They do use a piercing gun. If you are particularly paranoid or want things to be super clean maybe going to a nice body tattoo/​piercing shop will be more for you or if you want different piercings than the standard lobes OR if you want bigger holes, maybe checking out a piercing shop will be better BUT I hear they are way more expensive.
I got small black studs with a little silver border and the piercing is free with the piercing earrings so it cost $ 35 for both ears, pretty darn cheap!
Glad I came here for my first piercing!

I tired to get my child’s ears pierced at the pagoda in Escondido. I informed the sales woman I didn’t need the insurance for the earrings and that I didn’t want the alcohol either. I was told the solution (alcohol) came with the earrings but that it still was a dollar more. No, I didn’t want it and to remove the charge. She wouldn’t so I left. I am thinking they must make a lot of money on the insurance and alcohol? I wouldn’t recommend this business again.

Excellent service. Very clean. The staff is very competent and friendly.
I had to get new holes put in my ears or give up on piercing altogether.
I felt sorry for the girl who waited on me. Her previous customers were having their baby daughter’s ears pierced. As the mother held the child the father and grandmother were allover the place telling the sales person what to do, and they were both moving around taking pictures. They were both outside and inside the counter with cameras and cell phones taking pictures. The father was very bossy.
But the sales person was so patient. She was super nice and knew her products.
Well I have new holes in my ears, ruby earrings, and it didn’t hurt at all.
Thank you Piercing Pagoda. Yes I will return for my 4 week check up and to use my coupons!

The first child is always an experiment. She got her ears pierced at 3 months, everything was boiled, sterilized, laundered twice, etc … the second child. eh … didn’t pierce her ears, she wanted a pacifier I’d take one from the Walmart shelf and shove it in her mouth … thank God I didn’t have more than two children, can you imagine?
Anyway, at age 10 my second daughter decided to buck up and get her ears pierced. My eldest, who at this point has about 10 or so piercings which i blame myself for getting her ears done at 3 months, convinced her little sis to get them done. She also told her sibling that Piercing Pagoda numbs the ears and will pierce both ears at the same time. Sadly, only one of those statements were true. The two people working at the kiosk were extremely friendly and cooperative. My eldest snuck over and told them that her sister expected her ears to be numb, so they pretended that the alcohol pad had a numbing agent. After wavering back and forth, a little teary eyed, my little girl closed her eyes, squeezed my hand into numbness and had both of her ears pierced. She then said, «wow, that was it?» I was very appreciative to the two people working there for their patience. Also, they have a good selection of earrings, belly rings, etc. So 4 stars for selection and 5 stars for customer service, but I can only give a max of 5.
