I’m just going to leave yet another 5 star review here. This place is fantastic! The girl at the front (didn’t get her name) was super nice and friendly, and so unpretentious. Sometimes I worry about going to piercing/tattoo places because I’m just getting the typical cartilage/navel piercing and nothing hardcore like other people so I think they might judge me. Not so! They are all very nice, and even called me a champ for getting 3 piercings all at once! I also really like the fact that they do piercings only, so you aren’t distracted by people getting inked right in front of you while you wait. Peter was great, so friendly and talkative and you can tell he really knows his stuff including the science behind cleaning the piercings. (SC alum what what) He even helped me pick out a prettier place for my helix piercings. I am sooooo happy with my navel and helix, and it’s only the second day so I guess I can’t tell but they seem to be healing up nicely. Oh and the price was great–$25 for navel, $20 apiece for cartilage including jewelry. I will definitely be returning again for my next ear decoration!
Service: 4.5Price: 4Cleanliness of bathroom: n/aOne of my best friends came to town. We, she and I, manage to do things I sometimes regret the next day. Getting this piercing was not one of those things. Neither was the at-home hair dye that I tried…… surprisingly. (I was sure I would either end up bald or with the oh-so-attractive-on-Asians blond hair.)Oh right, the piercing. The employee behind the counter with colorful hair (sorry, I didn’t catch your name) was so helpful in answering all my friend’s questions. She had many since it was her first “irregular” piercing. The piercer was friendly; though when he first came out, he was talking to a friend of his and wasn’t as attentive. But he’ll talk you throughout the process if you wish and make sure the piercing is exactly where you want it by marking the location with washable ink. Clean parlor, sterilized tools, great explanations: everything went smoothly. Definitely recommend.
PRICE-super cheap, $20 for a cartilageSERVICE-incredibly hospitable and friendly-Peter explained everything he was going to do very clearly; informative-answered all of the questions I had without any hesitationCLEANLINESS-clean parlor-sterilized jewelry/piercing instrumentsI would definitely recommend Jul Head.
So I don’t write very many reviews on yelp….although I should, because I rely heavily on them to find the best of the best. Anywho, I HAD to come and write a review about Jul Head…..now I know why they 5 stars and nothing less.I was just researching around for piercing places to get my second holes and cartilage done. I saw a few places in LA that had great reviews, but for some reason I decided to go with Jul Head. The first person you meet when you step into this place is Boge. She is such a sweetheart! Super friendly and cheery. This is what I want my service to be like. Not some person who acts like either I don’t exist or that I’m somehow wasting their time (believe me, I’ve run into that a lot) and it annoys the hell out of me! I’m PAYING for you to treat me like S***….ummm, NO. But this was def not the case here. Boge took the time to explain what jewelry they would be piercing me with and answered all my questions. I hungout for a bit until the Peter came in.Peter is AMAZING, just like Boge, he was super super friendly and personable. We gabbed about all kinds of stuff and he make me feel right at home. I wasn’t nervous too nervous about the pain, mainly because I have a decent pain tolerance overall. But he still let me know that he was using Lidocaine jelly to semi-numb the spot up (and it did the trick, lemme tell you!) Washed his hands, sterile tools, watched him take it right out of the bag. Now, I’m a nurse, so this is stuff I notice! : ) Great, great, great experience. He walked me right through and it including thorough aftercare and cleaning. It turned out so well!Thank you guys for giving me a great experience and really showing true hospitality and professionalism! I def will be going back to this place!
A very close friend of mine, Andrea (aka Boge or Drea is what I call her) works here. Enough about her.The shop was well kept. Lot’s of choices of body jewelry. Came here about a month ago in search of finding some belly rings and fake plugs. Drea was very helpful. It’s local and you don’t have the hassle of going to a tattoo parlor shop to get body jewelry or the mall. Has recommend this place to my friends and family
I decided to take my sister to get her cartilage pierced at Jul Head based on the high Yelp reviews and was pleasantly happy with the results. ?I decided on a whim to get a matching piercing with her.We walked in without an appointment at 3pm on a Saturday and was almost turned away. The woman at the front found an opening at 4:30 and gave it to us. ?It was so nice of her to do that and help us because I had a prior engagement later into the evening. ?We only waited about ten minutes for the piercer, Peter to sterilize his tools/clamps/etc. ?Peter was pleasant and accommodating. ?I was so nervous about the piercing but he put me at ease. ?The whole ordeal took an hour for both my sister and myself. ?And a lot of it was us chatting with Peter. ?He really took the time to explain to us how to clean the piercing and what to expect. ?He was thorough in his cleaning of the area to be pierced. ?I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. ?There needs to be more people in the industry like Peter.The cartilage piercing was $20 plus the jewelry. ?They are open all days but Sunday after 12noon.
Hands down THE place I will go from now on for any future piercings! ?Not that I’ve had a bad experience at other places, but Jul Head is definitely affordable and offers amazing friendly service. ?I love the people here! 
A few weeks ago, I tried out Jul Head based on all the great reviews this place had on Yelp. ?I had been considering getting a second earlobe piercing and a cartilage piercing on my right ear for a while.. ?The two earlobe piercings were $35 (w/ the needle) and the cartilage was $20. ?The earlobe piercings would be $15 if you use a gun, but I prefer the needle since it’s less trauma to the ear (I figure three new piercings is trauma enough for them 
).Boj is an awesome receptionist who made me feel at home and answered clearly any questions I had about the cartilage piercing, which I was a little nervous about. ?I don’t remember the name of who did my piercing, but during the whole process, we basically chatted and laughed about random topics which really helped to distract from the momentarily pain of a needle getting pulled through my ears. ?For the cartilage, you can opt to use anesthesia. ?They use the really good stuff so my cartilage piercing actually hurt less than the earlobe piercings! ?Afterwards, Boj even sold me the large solution bottle for the price of the small one. Sweet!
I looked into this place on Yelp before going in and I am extremely glad, this place is fantastic. I walked in on a Friday 4 weeks ago with my boyfriend and we were just going to look at prices and before I knew it we both walked out with Prince Albert piercings. The prices were much better then we expected at 65$ each and since the lady behind the counter said there was no wait we both decided to go for it, in a somewhat spur of the moment thing.The procedure was a bit long but it was great because they explained everything that they were doing for each step. Everything was spectacularly clean and well sterilized. The piercer was very experienced and when it came to the actual piercing, he worked fast and precisely. He was friendly and very talkative which really helped keeping me from being too nervous. Overall it was next to painless, I just felt a slight and momentary pin prick. I didn’t bleed until the night of, which is common with this piercing. The piercing came with jewelry, just a standard 12 gauge 1/2 inch horseshoe, but if you get the piercing done try and talk them into a larger gauge, maybe 10, because the piercing does experience some discomfort if it is too thin. The rings come in both stainless surgical steel and titanium, but the titanium costs more. After 4 weeks I am completely healed up and am planning on stretching to a smaller gauge soon. The healing process went very well and was mostly event-less, I would recommend the H2Ocean spray they sell as it helps remove the debris that builds up along the metal on the ring. it is quite painful if the ring moves the debris into the piercing and the spray is very effective at removing it for you without having to pick it off by hand. I am excited about getting my next piercing here again. It is hard to imagine a better set up then what they have, and the shop is all about piercings so the attention is given to doing them right.
These guys are great! Reasonably priced and a great experience… Peter the piercer and Kathleen are super friendly… I will be back.
Spontaneous piercing urge assuaged. Robert is adoringly friendly and made the process very comfortable, quick, and easy even though I asked for four new piercings. Which I love and are perfect!The shop is extremely neat and clean.Best prices I’ve come across too, definitely coming back soon.
So, I’ve been wanting a rook and a cartilage piercing for a long time — a few years now. I finally got the courage to get the piercing and began my Yelp quest for a trusty piercer near home. Lo and behold, I found Jul Head, shining with 5 stars.I promptly followed them on Facebook, saw a recently rook piercing Robert did and was magically won over. The next night, I was in Jul Head waiting in line with other girls to get my rook pierced!It was a Friday night around 6:30 and it was crowded – about 3 girls before me and a couple after me. I’d call ahead and make an appointment if you’ve got other plans.Peter was there and he was as sweet as can be. My heart was pumping because I haven’t had any type of cartilage piercing before, so I was really afraid of the pain. But we started talking about pop culture, laughed about a few things and it all calmed me down! The rook piercing didn’t hurt as much as I thought, probably because I was enjoying myself! Woo.3 weeks later (today), I woke up and my rook piercing fell out because the ball was loose (probably my fault because i didn’t check & probably rubbed the area too vigorously with my q-tips). I went in today at lunch and they helped me put it back in with no questions asked.Overall, digging the service and the staff. I’ll definitely be coming back!
I absolutely love this place. Got my nose pierced for the first time today, I think by Robert but it was the best experience I’ve had piercings. LOVE LOVE LOVE
HANDS DOWN THE BEST TO GO FOR ANY PIERCING… Robert and Peter are not there to just take your money they will tell you like it is. If it wont work or wont look good they will let you know. ?They want to make sure you walk out of their shop feeling great. I had recently gotten my belly pierced by Robert and loved the place so soo soo sooo much I came back three days later for my ears, brought my sister to do her belly and a friend for her rook. I really don’t have anything to say about this place other than their AMAZING. Seriously if you want a place where you can feel comfortable this is the place to go!!! I love you guys cant wait for my next piercing see you guys in a few!!!
After telling all my friends how great the ear piercing experience was at Jul Head with Peter, I decided it was time to take it to another level and yelp it!My first experience with piercings was using a gun piercing (in Taiwan). ?The piercing itself was pretty easygoing, but it didn’t feel quite right. ?After 3 weeks of leaving the piercing in, I took it out to change it… and the left lobe had closed within 2 hours! ?So, I gave up on it and pulled the right piercing out too.After that, I did some research and watched another needle piercer (also in Taiwan)… seemed to require a lot more skill and you could control the angle of the piercing a lot better… something I had not thought about at all when I did my first piercing. ?When I was back in So Cal recently, I decided this was my chance to get my piercings re-done in a hygienic environment. ?Peter was really conscientious about washing his hands and putting on gloves… the piercing is also done in a private area of the shop, which is very organized and clean. ?All the people working in the shop are fun and friendly! ?It’s been over a week since my piercing and everything feels great about i! ?I highly recommend this place. ?The studs that come with the $35 fee are also really good… the posts are shorter than the one I had in my first experience with piercing, so you can totally sleep without being worried you’re going to jab yourself on the side of the head.
Peter and the receptionist kick ass. ?I felt super welcomed and Peter did a great job on my “rebellious” ear cartilage piercing. ?All for $20!My lame butt took out my original cartilage piercing for a job interview and I didn’t even get the job. ?One week later, I realized my piercing had closed so I yelped and found Jul Head and Peter. ?Peter examined my ear and suggested that I get it pierced over the original piercing since it was still healing. ?And even though I’m a grown ass woman, I was still pretty nervous. ?Peter didn’t mock me. ?Instead he said he was going to use this numbing thing and said I wouldn’t feel much. ? I didn’t. ?:)After it was over, Peter gave me all these tips and pointers (don’t use alcohol and/or hydrogen peroxide…do use salt water) and told me to call or come back if I have any issues or questions.I highly recommend Jul Head for all your piercing needs. ?Peter and friends are genuinely great peeps who do a great job.
Wish I had known about this place sooner!Back in January, I got snake bites over at My Tattoo, and I spent $75. I eventually took them off (really wish I hadn’t but I know I’ll re pierce them soon), and when I discovered this place over the summer, I found out for two lip piercings, it would have only cost me $45! So I know where I’ll be getting my lips re pierced.. Anyway, I was bored one night and was on Main St. w/ a few of my friends, and I decided then and there I wanted to get my cartilage pierced. Went in, and I couldn’t decide if I wanted one or two piercings, but everyone including Robert convinced me to go big or go home!I was pretty nervous (I always get nervous at the thought of a needle piercing through me) but Robert was funny and got me to relax a bit. He sterilized and double sterilized the needle and even showed me the process lol. Before I knew it, I had two more holes in my body, voila easy as that!When they’re done piercing you, they tell you to sign their tag wall. It’s a pretty cute idea haha but a lot of the space is filled up already 
If I remember correctly, I paid around $40 total, not including the $15 H2O & sea salt spray for cleaning.The environment here is great, definitely somewhere you should check out if you’re down for some new piercings Very professional, AND for the college student, AFFORDABLE!
I won’t be going to any random tattoo or mall shops for my jewelry/piercings anymore. The people who work/run the show at Jul Head are awesome!I came in today to get my nipples pierced, partially because it’s less than a mile from my house, and also because My Tattoo was closed. A friend and I came around five thirty, and there was only a ten minute wait, though if it had been a two hour wait, i wouldn’t have minded one bit. The girl Boj (sp?) and one of the owners Peter were soooo incredibly friendly and hilarious to talk to. (Side note: Boj’s pandora playlist playing in the shop was perfect, some Bone Thugs, some Kanye, and Shwayze thrown in for good measure). Anyway, on to the experience. Peter brought me into the back room and used alcohol wipes to sterilize my nips, and explained that any excessive rubbing alcohol is to be avoided like the PLAGUE, as it’s such sensitive tissue. He was really precise with lining up the dots he placed as a guide for the needle, because at the end of the day, neither of us would like if i had crooked nipple jewelry :/ The whole time he had my friend and I cracking up, a far cry from the awkwardness that I had anticipated from being topless in front of a stranger. I was super paranoid about the clamps, reading other people’s experiences online led me to believe that it was going to be awful, but as he clamped my left nipple first while i lied on the table, i wasn’t even sure that they were on until i looked down. I asked him how bad the actual piercing would be in relation to the clamps, but he mentioned that if the clamps didn’t hurt too badly, the piercing wouldn’t be very bad either. The next part, a deep breath in, needle inserted (mildly cringeworthy pain here), needle exiting the other side, and capped, to keep me from stabbing my hand accidentally wasn’t too bad. The kicker was the second one, which confused the shit out of me. Evidently, your endorphins are all released with the first one, and by the time the second one is pierced, you’re running low on pain relieving biochemical pain relievers or whatever. Damn you endorphins, you the process for my right nipple hurt like fuck.Afterwards, he talked me through aftercare and cleaning. I picked up some h2ocean and xpressions swabs to speed healing. i opted for the titanium bar instead of surgical steel for it’s lightness and reduced healing time, albeit at a slightly higher price. I picked up a couple labrets for my monroe too, and the selection of plugs is great. Kind of makes me wish i had the ears to suit them. Needless to say, after these bad boys heal i’m going to be coming back for more, hopefully some dermals. Thumbs up to Pete and Boj!
Omg awesome place for piercings! I’ve gotten my belly, nipple, industrial and spider bites pierced here. Its awesome and I love it customer service is great people are super friendly 
needless to say I will continue to get pierced at jul head – xoxo gossip girl
I found out about Jul Head from here, yelp, and all the reviews were qreat and measured up to my experience there (:I qot 2 dermal piercinqs by Robert a couple days aqo. ?He was very sweet & easy to talk to. ? Also he was very careful & precise when he marked where the piercinqs would be. ?The actual piercinq did hurt more than I expected but the results were phenomenal; so worth it.!I wish I found out about this place before I qot my other piercinqs.! I will definitely be cominq back for future piercinqs & purchasinq jewelry
5 stars, easy. I called initially to inquire about two dermal piercings on my upper back, and the woman I spoke with on the phone was super friendly and cheerful. She immediately let me speak with Peter, the piercer, and he confirmed an appointment for me at 4:45PM. Thanks to traffic and my terrible estimation skills, I got there at 5:05PM, but Peter still kept my appointment, having the jewelry already sterilized and everything. I only waited 10 – 15min. He continued to explain the possible risks (cleaning my upper back dermals is so freaking difficult…) Plus, he was so kind, knowledgable, easygoing, and genuinely excited about his work. He was very careful in marking the two dots where I was to be pierced and was very conscientious of maintaining hygiene (changing gloves, multiple cleanings, etc). And, the actual piercings didn’t even hurt! Just a slight pinch! I think Peter’s is just good, haha. Plus, my friend who came in with me wanted to get something done on her ear, and he took care of her as well! She was tottering on the idea of an industrial, but Peter suggested a conch, and I whole heartedly approve. Soooo glad Peter could suggest a more unique piercing for my friend. To top it off, the woman at the desk gave me GREAT advice on piercing aftercare. AND I got to meet Robert, the other shop owner, for a few minutes as I was leaving , and he was just as awesome as Peter. Overall, this place is so incredibly affordable – dermals are $50/1, $90/2, $130/3, etc, getting cheaper as you get more. AND parking is super easy out front too! AND they have an awesome selection of jewelry + apparel. Okay, no more and’s.Yep. I will definitely be returning to Jul Head for all of my future piercing needs and bringing as many friends as I can.[Check out the picture I uploaded too!]
Jul Head is a great place. ?I got 3 lobe piercings for $25. ?The people there know what they’re doing and are extremely helpful. ?My cousin was considering getting an industrial and they explained to her the entire process include after-care so she knew what she was getting into.One of my lobe piercings got infected and the earring was sinking into my ear, so I went back in and they cleaned it up and switched the earring and it’s cleared up now. ?The store is clean and has a great atmosphere. ?I’ll be going back for my cartilage piercing and I would definitely recommend Jul Head to anyone looking for a new piercing or just to by new jewelry.
I cannot rave enough about this place! ? I was really nervous about getting my first cartilage piercing (yes, I’m a wimp) but stopped by JulHead after seeing the positive reviews.The lady working at the front was friendly and helped talk me through my anxiety. ?Peter did the piercing and he was absolutely great: professional and fun to chat with. ?I learned what a Jacob’s Ladder is… ?The place is super clean and neat and their piercings are all surgical steel or titanium. ?My lobe piercings have been getting infected so they gave me some titanium piercing posts to use and they’ve cleared up. ?It’s been about a month and my cartilage piercing is doing great. ?And, it was only $20!The only problem was the wait. ?There was only one person in front of me so I figured it wouldn’t take long… I ended up having to wait over an hour and a half for some unknown reason. ?My piercing only took about 10 minutes. ?I was a bit cranky when they finally got to me, but Peter was so nice and apologetic so I figure it was a rare occurrence. ?They do take reservations so I’ll do that next time.I’m now trying to find a reason to go back. ?Dermal piercings look really cool…
This is a great little shop. I met the owners, Robert and Peter, out one night, and noticed Peter’s dermal anchor. I asked them about it and they made such a profound impression on me that I drove to Alhambra from Redondo Beach during commute hours (1.5 hours) to get a dermal anchor. I wasn’t disappointed. The place is professional and CLEAN. I was greeted warmly by the young lady at the counter. Robert, an owner, then appeared smiling and greeted me by name before taking the time and care to make sure I properly was informed about my procedure. After selecting my jewelry, Robert performed the procedure without a hitch. Afterwards, he thoroughly explained the care and cleaning procedures and off I went. A month later, I returned just to have them check the piercing to ensure I was cleaning properly. I seen some disturbing consequences from not properly cleaning. I drove to Alhambra again. This time, it was Peter who greeted me by name with an infectious smile. I was a little surprised that he still remembered me by name after so much time. He checked the piercing and told me all was great. He then gave me some additional pointers in cleaning. I was thoroughly impressed.To sum it up, Peter, Robert and their staff get it! Big Time! They are true professionals! Prices are good too. I’d gladly pay more for what I got. ?Who knew that a chance meeting out one night would get me a sexy dermal anchor and gain respect for two gents who are out there doing their thang the right way! Cheers to you Jul Head!Anthony
After reading all the reviews here, I decided to try this place out last Friday. And here’s what I thought…I LOVED it!!! Here’s why:1. The vibe is friendly, the minute I walked in I was greeted by a super nice woman at the counter who made me feel welcome.2. They ONLY do piercings here which tells me they are interested in being excellent at what they do as opposed to being just another place where you can get pierced at a tattoo parlour. 3. They only use surgical steel or titanium when piercing. I’ve heard from people who know what they’re doing that you should never use anything else. Unfortunately, last time I got pierced at another place, they used plastic and I had a hard time healing properly as a result.4. The piercer, Peter, who is also one of the owners, was freakin’ AWESOME, PEOPLE!!! Not only did he make me feel completely at ease but he took his time and explained everything he was going to do and why. He also patiently answered any questions I had. I really liked him.I was completely happy with this place and would highly recommend it to anyone. So, if you’re reading reviews on Yelp because you want to have a good experience instead of a crappy one, COME HERE!
Awesome experience. Staff was super friendly and piercing was very easy. I got a conch piercing and it was only $40. Plus, Peter gave me a titanium stud for free because of an extra 5 minute wait. PIercing was painless. I went with my friend who got back dermals, and I was there to observe the whole process. Peter really knew what he was doing and made sure the piercing was exactly how the customer wanted it, no matter how long it took to figure out the positioning. He maintained a clean and friendly environment. I recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable, clean piercing in a great, friendly environment!
I drove 5 miles instead of going to the studios nearby just to come here to get my earlobe piercings (first time!) As expected, the girl at the front desk was superrrr nice, and Robert, my piercer, was extremely precise about the measurements. I got my piercings done with a sterilized needle for $35, including the hypoallergenic starter studs; it costs about $15 with a gun. However, I have no idea which one is better or less painful.. But everything went perfectly and all was done in less than 10 minutesThe seasalt solution was $15, which I thought was kind of a rip-off… At least it works well I’m 17, so I had to get my mother to sign this parent consent form thing. This place is great and the owners/workers are responsible – I definitely recommend coming here! P.S. I emailed another piercing studio last night, and they JUST replied to me. Getting piercings there costs minimum $75, so you know what to do
Note: This isn’t a review for a piercing. I will be working on that since I will be getting a few dermal piercings here soon This is for the actual shop and jewelry. I was in need of getting a new industrial bar because my plain silver one wasn’t cutting it. I’ve had the piercing for about a year so I figured now is the time to try to get it together and buy new jewelry. My friend had told a friend that this place was close by and cheap. We called first and sure enough, very reasonable prices and very close by to my home. We went in at around 4, not crowded but a nice ambiance. Small, very clean and well kept. There were three workers. I mainly talked to Peter and Boge (Love that girl to death). Boge helped me and my friend find the right piercings and told us the deals going on with the jewelry. I told her my problems in the past with my industrial jewelry being too tight that it wouldn’t come off and she said she could handle it. I loved her sense of humor! Boge cleaned my ear, and put the jewelry on for me, completely painless! I got two for 20$ and they take debit and credit too Boge and Peter also answered any questions about my industrial piercing and dermas for me which I really appreciated. Overall, great service, serious professionals and lots of sarcasm. Love Please check it out!
I went into JulHead after a few months of having my tragus done. ?I got my tragus pierced at Prix on Sunset, and ended up paying $80. ?I didn’t know general piercing prices so I just paid it, and hoped other piercing would be cheaper. ?JULHEAD ONLY CHARGES $20 FOR A TRAGUS PIERCING. ?Needless to ay, their prices are incredible.I happened upon JulHead by searching for piercing parlors closer to Pasadena so I didn’t have to drive to LA. ?I called and was told that the owner, Peter, would be out of the shop at 4, and he was the only one that was able to do my rook.I ended up at the shop at about 5:30. ?He selflessly stayed and waited to pierce me. ?My friend and I got clean, painless piercing (my rook, and her anti-tragus). ?He explained every process, every antiseptic, and the reasoning behind everything he uses and does. ?Every regulation was followed and detailed.Now, some people may be turned off by the fact that he only pierces with basic surgical steel or titanium jewelry, and not the fancy jewelry they want. ?Let me tell you, that my rook, pierced with titanium, healed about 10x faster than my tragus with the fancy jewelry. ?Please do not be turned away by this fact, and just know that Peter is there to help you heal faster and maintain your piercings as long as you can.Also, Peter and Robert, the piercers, are hysterical to converse with.What sets them even more apart from other parlors: THEY CARE. ?They will NOT pierce someone if they feel they may get infected (i.e. they will not pierce your rook and cartilage within two weeks of each other). ?THey are incredible.
Backstory: I’ve gotten my ears pierced before with a piercing gun at Claire’s, and I had an ongoing infection for about 5 months until one morning I woke up with a huge, swollen left earlobe. ?Basically, I took my earrings/studs out and let my ears heal, swearing to never get my ears pierced again. ?6 months later, doctors found the butterfly backing of my earring in my left earlobe (yes, my earlobe had healed over the backing and it had been stuck in my earlobe for 6 months and I never knew!). ?I had it removed, got stitches, and by then, I triple-swore I would never get my ears pierced ever again. ?Until….Review: Of course, a few years later, I wanted to get my ears pierced again. ?After lots of research, I realized that it is best to get your ears pierced with a needle. ?Needles are sterilized and are never reused. ?Piercing guns cause blunt force trauma to the earlobe, which can cause infections and issues with healing. ?Also, they can never be adequately sterilized. ?My fear of infections or my earlobe growing over the earring constantly scared me, so I knew I had to get my ears pierced with a needle. ?However, I was so afraid of a needle piercing my earlobe, but I finally gained the courage to go to Jul Head and get it done! ?I found out about Jul Head through all the amazing reviews here on Yelp, and even though I had to travel all the way from Torrance, it was definitely worth it.When I arrived rhinestone jewelry, one guy helped me choose which earrings (made surgical steel) I wanted. ?The receptionist sterilized them in a bag and told me to wait or come back in about 20 minutes, since there were already two people waiting before me. ?She could tell I was nervous, but she was very friendly and told me that there was nothing to be afraid of. ?After anxiously and nervously waiting for about 25 minutes, a guy (totally forgot his name!) called me to come to the back. ?He sat me down and I told him my “Claire’s horror story,” which explained to him why I was so terrified of getting my ears pierced. ?He was so friendly, funny, easy to talk to, and sweet! ?He made me feel at ease while he dotted my ears twice with a toothpick and explained the full procedure to me. ?He had me lay down, since he knew I was nervous, and pierced my left ear first (because of the scar tissue in that earlobe). ?When he pierced it, there was barely any pain and it was quicker than I imagined. ?He was very meticulous and spent a lot of time cleaning around the ear afterwards, which made me feel even better. ?After both of my ears were pierced, he informed me about how to clean my ears. ?Sea salt soaks are best, and this place sells a spray (H2Ocean) which is made of (basically) ocean salt and water that helps clean your new piercings. ?The whole piercing process took about 20-25 minutes, and I paid $35 (which includes the earrings and the needle piercing procedure).Anyways, my overall experience was amazing. ?I am so happy with my newly pierced ears. ?It’s been about a month, and I haven’t experienced any of the small infections that I used to get when I got my first piercings at Claire’s. ?I would definitely recommend Jul Head!
Jul head truly deserves ten stars for the amazing service, pricing, quality of products, knowledgable and super friendly staff, and amazing community rapport.Peter and Robert are shop owners and piercers. They carry only the best jewelry, apparel and shoes from local designers, and are constantly updating their knowledge of piercing to be on the cutting edge. Boge is the sweetest and most attentive shop girl you could ask for and always makes sure you leave satisfied. The staff here really make it worth the drive to Alhambra, easily topping any stiff piercing shop or unfriendly and unprepared jewelry store like hot topic. Along with all body jewelry they also sell home piercing kits, gift certificates, and carry information about upcoming local events like art shows, raves, and celebrations of all types. Stop by and get your ?holes plugged!
This place was recommended to me by my friend. I was told Peter (who pierced her) ?was really nice and he is really good at making you feel at ease. My co worker and I both went in together for belly piercings.It seemed really clean when I walked in and I was greeted by a team member. Peter was awesome! He talked to me about the different piercing metals, over viewed the procedure, he even showed me all the piercing materials so I’d know they were sterile. Everything he used was fully sterilized and legitimate. He talked me through the experience and he made me feel really comfortable and relaxed. I got to talk with Peter and Robert after. They are really friendly (and cute together!) and we couldn’t stop talking about astrology haha. They are both really fun. ?It’s been a little over a week and my piercing has had no problems. It’s super cute and I love it! They are also making some changes to the shop. Pretty soon there is going to be a wall post piercers can sign. I’ll be back to sign ?when I go to purchase some new belly jewelery! ?:)
Just got a piercing today on my left earlobe above my first piercing. Great amostphere. Chill place. Good selection.The receptionist was super nice and welcoming, and Peter, the guy who pierced my ear, was super friendly and made me less nervous. He was also great at explaing the aftercare and giving me some tips about piercings.Definitely going to go back here for some more earlobe peircings and a cartilage peircing.
wowww. i wish i knew of this place before i got my other ear piercings at the mall.. chinatown.. other places in hollywood.. this place is such a great find. i’m honestly sad i didn’t discover this until now. came really unsure of what i wanted. i really wanted my tragus pierced but i was afraid it wouldn’t look good, and it would be painful. however, robert really eased me throw it. and i swear i felt no pain! i got it about a month ago, and i’m pretty sure it’s healed. I play with it all the time.. (very bad i know) $30also got my 3rd lobe piercings done cuz i thought I might as well, and it was only $10the service and professional quality you receive her is amazing. they know what they’re doing. and they know whatsupp. the girl in the front was also super helpful. I already had 2 cartilage and 2 lobe piercings before and she made really helpful recommendations on where i should place etc. $25-30 for tragus, front helix$20-25 for cartilage$10 for 2 ear lobesi’m almost positive you won’t find another place better for the pricedefinitely coming back!
I absolutely love this store. It has every body jewelry I could ever need! They manage in piercings as well. It is very artsy. The way they display the jewelry is nice. They have it in glass cabinets hung on the walls. The manager of the store is tremendously nice. I stopped by this store two times in one day and he gave me a free tongue ring! (=This place is very inexpensive. You can buy 3 tongue rings for $10.00, belly rings – 2 for $10.00. This store also sells shoes and shirts.
$10 for one earlobe piercing, $15 for both ears, and those prices INCLUDE the jewelry. Definitely a good deal compared to the prices they charge at most places. They are ?knowledgeable about piercings than say Claire’s because it’s their speciality and they are particularly helpful in answering any questions. Robert, who did my ear piercings was professional and made me feel at ease. The place is very hygienic as well. HIghly recommended.
Nice clean place, nice people. Some times can get overrun with teenagers, mostly just from 2-4pm it seemed.I got my lip pierced and he was very nice and walked me through it. Same with my sister who got in industrial right after me.Prices on the piercing + jewelry are on the cheap side of fair. I’d definitely go back for any future piercings if I’m in California again.
Peter and Robert who are the owners of Jul head are good friends of mine. The store is clean and the staff is super friendly! They don’t rip people off! So if you are looking for a awesome store with friendly people stop by JUL HEAD. I have personally been pierced as well from Peter. His GREAT!!!
this place is awesome… you get your piercings done by people who know what they are doing… and the variety of pieces they carry is sweet… plus for the few of us who are a lil more into larger piercings they will work with you and try and get you a nice piece if they don’t have it in stock… Andrea if very help full and the Peter is the man with the plan…they will tell it to you straight and how it is and not lie just to get your money… cheers
This place is amazingggg! And their prices are really reasonable. Out of the umpteen piercings I’ve gotten, this was the most professional experience. My friend and I went in today, she pierced her cartilage and I pierced 2 on my frontal helix. Both were amazing, and you can just tell they have experience. They answered all our questions and gave great advice. Definitely not my last time there
Such a great piercing parlor! ?The piercers are friendly, funny, and great at making you feel comfortable (no matter what you’re getting pierced!).
This is my first review on yelp. ?I was inspired to write one because of how much I loved this place. ?I had an appointment at another piercing/tattoo parlor at 4….but decided to roll in to Jul Head because of it’s 5 star yelp rating and the fact that it was 3 and I didn’t want to wait a whole hour to get pierced. ?The girl who greeted me at the door was so sweet and informed me that the cartilage piercing I wanted would be $20 (that includes the piercing and the jewelry). ?The other place was going to charge me $70….and that was with a $20 off special. ?Peter pierced me and he was the cutest guy ever. ?I loved his energy and his ability to make me completely relaxed before I got a needle stabbed through my ear. ?I described what I wanted and he gave me exactly that. ?Seriously….if you are looking to get pierced…go here. ?So friendly/so helpful/quick/easy/and pain free.*one thing is that I would not buy the aftercare solution. ?I bought it because I wanted to support their business, but if you are on a budget…the stuff is basically salt and water.
I’m so happy that I was recommended to this store by my coworkers! It is kind of easy to miss but it’s on 1st and main right next to the coldstones and starbucks.It’s an independent business owned by two very radical, friendly, down-to-earth kind of guys–Robert and Peter! (: They’re both really chill and you can tell by all the regular customers they get that drop by just to chit chat with them, check out sales and new merchandise – example? a few of my coworkers as well as myself! They have a wide selection of merchandise from tapers to plugs (of all sizes!), lip rings to belly rings, shoes to shirts. They also provide the service of piercing nearly everything; they just recently started doing implants too! They constantly get new products so be sure to check them out every so often! you’ll soon become a regular yourself ! (;I’d recommend anyone to Jul Head over Hot Topic or anywhere else any day.ps. they take credit cards and they also have gift cards you can get for your buddies too!
Not that I have experiences with piercings…BUT my friend and i got cartilage and she got four piercings in total. 5 dollars off every additional lobe piercing. great instructions with after care and follow up details as well.but what makes this place so great is that they are extremely professional, friendly, and hella funny. peter and ?mandi are so welcoming a it makes you feel like they’re prepping you for a massage- except for the part where they stab you. i would come back here again and i plan to for additional piercings. heck, so chill here you wouldn’t even know if if they smacked you but if they did, you’d like it and you’d ask to be tapped again.
5 stars for Peter cuz he was so friendly and funny by the time my ears were about to be pierced I wasn’t scared anymore at all! but one star off Cuz my total purchase ended up being $27 (including the cleaning solution) and compared to my friends who got theirs done for like $10 that’s like almost triple. BUT I guess if u want it done legit then u gotta pay the price! important stuff: -like everyone said Peter (one of the owners of the store) is super nice and totally cool I guess he’s the one that does all the piercings. – ear piercings are $15 with the gun and $20 per ear with the needle. – no appointment necessary! – Wednesday around 1- 2pm the store is filled with highschool kids who are probably regulars there cuz most of them looked like they just come in to hang out…so the stores kinda busy during that time and if youre not really crazy about crowds of highschool kiddies everywhere like I am, come earlier or another day!thinking about getting your ears pierced? your lip or your tongue? why not go down to the mall, or some nail salon, better yet, I heard its pretty cheap down in chinatown! ….not sold? lol neither was I. and so I turned to my trusty yelpers for some suggestions and came across Jul head. I entered the store totally terrified, I got my ears pierced when I was a baby so I had no recollection of the pain whatsoever. so yeah I was pretty scared to get my second piercings done. after picking out my earrings I waited about 10 mins while a previous customer went to get hers done. when it was finally my turn I went behind the curtains in the back and was greeted by Peter. lol while getting all the equipment ready he gossiped with me as if we were friendly next door neighbors calmed my nerves a bit. then he explained to me what was gonna happen, let me hear what the gun was gonna sound like when it was pressed (not as loud and scary as I imagined) and then carefully marked the spots on my ears to be pierced. the whole experienced took about 15 mins and it ended up not even hurting at all! thanks again Peter!! I really do love my piercings! ill definitely be letting all my friends know about your place and I hope your marathon went well!
Omg. I love this place. My friend got her back dimples pierced here and told me how decently priced this place was. I wanted to get my nips pierced so I decided to go here. I came in, and there was 1 person waiting in front of me for a nose piercing. I waited for about 15/20 minutes which isn’t bad.When it was my turn, I felt a little bit uncomfortable because I’m not used to showing random people my tits yanno? But the piercer (Peter) was like, I’m gay so I’m not into tits so don’t worry. It didn’t make me feel any less uncomfortable but whatever. So I took off my top and he examined my boobs to see how he was gonna do my piercings. He started off explaining to me about the tissue in your nipples and stuff about after care.Peter started talking about all these random things about his life like school and fighting and etc. Hahahaha. By the time he was ready to pierce me, I pretty much knew his life story. Just kidding. Buuuttt I was a lot less nervous! Let me say, each nipple took about a minute to pierce but damn, that shiet hurt sooo bad! Anyway, my point is, come here to get any of your piercings and Peter will never make you feel awkward! I love my nipple piercings and they’re totally aching while I write this review right now. Hahaha. I am coming back for more piercings. Wubwubwub this place!
I just got my cartilage pierced here today. I love it and I had a great experience. Everyone who works there is really friendly, especially Peter! He made conversation with me the entire time and made me laugh to make me less nervous. He also explains to you exactly what he’s doing which is always good to know. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would and my ear hasn’t been hurting or turning red at all. Also, it was only $20!! I would definitely recommend coming here for piercings.
This is where you end up when you’re bored. I’m convinced of that. I had some friends from out of town and we were just bumming around one afternoon when someone mentioned that they kinda wanted to get a second set of piercings in their ears. So we yelped it and came across this place that’s pretty close to my house. I think I’ve walked by this place a bunch of times but never paid so much attention to it to notice it was a piercing shop. Anyways walked in and started looking around. The girl at the counter was all pierced up and super helpful. I wish I remember her name. But she answered all of our questions and really tried to persuade us to get piercings. Unfortunately my friend is super allergic to anything that’s not gold and they didn’t have any gold earrings. But then she suggested getting these plastic tube earrings since it’s not any kind of metal. They couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t have a reaction but it was her best bet. Also it could only be done by needle, no guns. Somehow I must’ve opened my big mouth and mentioned that getting a second set of piercings would be cool. Because then my friend said the dreaded “I’ll do it if you do it.” Darn you, peer pressure! Didn’t have a choice – and kinda wanted to see my friend get pierced with a needle. So I did it. Although I chicken out a bit and go with the gun piercing. I’m a little bit afraid of needles. Picked out a set of simple silver colored CZ earrings. The girl took me in the back, cleaned me up, marked where she was going to pierce, told me I have different shaped/sized ears and then just shot me with the gun. Easy-peesy, took like less than 10 minutes. Wasn’t really nervous at all – surprisingly, since I get nervous pretty easily. But it was my third go around – in addition to my first set of ear piercings, I have a cartilage piercing. Anyways it set me back $15, which I thought was a steal. Then it was my friend’s turn. They actually have to do a full on sterilization of the tools in a machine for 15 minutes. We waited patiently in the store, flipping through magazines. Finlly it was go time. We were actually allowed to go into the back and watch the owner (not sure if it was Peter or Robert) do it. We totally documented the whole experience – taking pictures. It was actually pretty cool – even with the blood and all. All done. And the whole thing was $20 per ear. Cool beans. Left as happy customers. I don’t recommend getting the cleaner – I think it was like $10 for the small bottle of basically salt and water. ?But you should clean your ears daily starting right away. Both of my friend’s and I ears got a bit infected because it took us a couple days to get the cleaning solution and start the regimen. Also try not to sleep on your sides because your ears will get aggravated. It’s been about a month since we got it done and everything is A-ok now.
Jul Head is a great, clean, fun, helpful body jewelry business in Alhambra. ?Peter, Robert and Boge are so helpful and friendly. They have a 5 star rating for a reason!! They’re amazingly approachable and honest. I had my right ear pierced a few weeks ago and LOVE it! If you want your body pierced….go to Jul Head! Seriously
I was referred to this place by a friend and I have never been one to get spontaneous piercings or anything like that so I was super scared when I arrived. The workers were so nice and friendly and they really know how to make you feel comfortable especially if you’re like me and are freaking out because you’re scared of getting pierced.The cartilage was done first and I honestly didn’t expect it to be so easy to bear. Peter was so nice and so helpful in distracting me that I had no pain at all except for the initial pierce. The double piercings definitely hurt me but that’s just because they’re done with a gun and there’s no numbing cream on them.Went back today and got my navel pierced as well. I was extremely scared for this one but surprisingly I didn’t feel it at all. I even think it was better than my cartilage piercing.The prices are all fair and I would definitely recommend for you to come here if you want to get something pierced and you’re a little bit hesitant and/or scared because Peter is great and he helps explain exactly how to take care of your piercings and what to do if anything goes wrong, etc.
I found this place when it first opened on Main a couple years ago. I visited again recently and was happy to find such nice and friendly staff. The worker was really down to earth, informative, and fun to talk to. I got two earrings for my cartilage for $10. I thought it was a good price. They also have body jewelry in different color, shapes, sizes and styles for practically any piercing. Also, the have some attire sold in the back. There is a no exchange policy on body jewelry but that’s understandable, right? ?All in all, it is a clean place with nice staff.
i was just looking for a piercing place that is more affordable and i found this place on yelp..actually, you can barely see the place from the street (or maybe i was just looking the other way at the time) but when i entered the door, i was surprised to see that the place was so clean and nicely decorated.. This place got tons of earrings collection and the prices were very affordable. i bought mine for $5 or $8/pair.i was pierced by robert who was very friendly and funny. He’s also very knowledgeable about what he’s doing. He explained everything thoroughly and answer all my never-ending questions in detail. he made you feel so welcome and at home. there’s one bad thing about robert. He lied to me about how having my ear stretched ‘hurt a little’ when i wanted to pull my hair so hard. thats all ?my complain i would definitely comeback here for future piercing or just to buy some earrings.great customer service and good price and neat place!recommended!!!!
This place is the best and most professional place to go for piercings! They are friendly and the best at piercings! All they do is piercings and they are affordable! Prepare to be treated right! Peter is the best and he is awesome! You will wanna go back! Sanitary and clean too!!
Great place to get your piercings! I highly recommend it.They are super friendly, careful and the prices are really good! For a lip piercing its only $ 25. They have really good pricing for the jewelry too, we also bought two piercings for $ 10! Me and my sister got our piercings done by Robert , he was very professional and really we did not feel any pain at all. He’s also a very nice fun guy and makes sure you are ?feeling comfortable and at ease .
Okay , so like anyone else or maybe teens who come along here, you probably heard… OHHH why don’t you go to angie’s its cheaper. BLAH BLAH BLAH. Yeah… it is. But … you do know if anything happens to it, she won’t care. Julhead, peter & robert own it. They are PIERCERS i TRUST . I’ve had my nose, cartilage, and i wish i had my ears pierced here if i discovered them earlier. They have a policy where , if anything happens to your piercing, within the month, you can get it repierced. Prices are pretty average. Hey, you pay what you get right (:? I’ve met both. Robert pierced my nose, Peter did my cartilage. And i’ve got to say, they are SOOO friendly, you’ll lose your nerves. They know exactly what to tell you , and i just got my cartilage today actually. And i didn’t feel any pain at all, since Peter has his magical ways of distracting me. I SERIOUSLY recommend this place. You can even go back and THEY will REMEMBER you , and they’ll check up on your piercing. They do really care. And they do sell those h20 cans that spray salt water that help with piercings alot. 10 /12 bucks aren’t that bad. And no they aren’t trying to rip you off. to sum it off basically, since i’m new to this yelp stuff:Goods: -friendly/chill-caring-good policies / understanding-informative.Bads:?-pricing… but it’s understandable with all the hightech cleaning supplies and fresh needles to use for your piercing-maybe finding parking. after all it is mainstreet. I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND you to go here.
Today my friend got her cartilage pierced and I bought new plugs. This place is amazing! The prices were great. I got 2 new plugs for 20 bucks and she got her cartilage pierced for 20. The people there were friendly, helpful, and great at their job. I recommend them. I felt like we were all friends after. Ahaha. Seriously though, go here. You won’t regret it.
very cool, interesting place.i don’t wear jewelry or any of the accessories that they sell, but i spent a lot of time walking around and looking at all of the merchandise. i did like some of the clothes and shoes towards the back of the store. the art spray painted on the wall is a whole different reason to go there.if you are in the area, stop by and check it out.
Just got pierced here!!! The experience was awesome!! Both guys were extremely friendly and might I add funny!!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who was looking at getting a piercing! Very helpful as well! The pricing was very fair!! The place is clean! They make you feel very comfortable! It was all around a really great experience! If I get anything else pierced in the future, this is the first place I’m going!!!!!! 5 stars is well deserved!!!
I LOVE THEM i went in a couple of days ago to get my belly done i was so scared but the guy who helped me made me feel ok and it didnt hurt i am so going back to get my 3rd hole
Cool little store that just opened up in Alhambra. ?It’s easy to miss if you don’t look carefully. ?Sells mostly body jewelry and apparels. ?It’s rare for independent businesses like this to be opened without Hot Topic stealing every little emo boy and girls’ businesses away.I don’t wear any body jewelry myself but I do like quite a few shirts while I was in the store. ?They’re still in the process of setting the store up but it looked like a very clean place. ?Prices are very reasonable and the people there are nice. ?If you ever go in, ask for Peter or Robert and they’ll take care of you.
This lil shop is fantastic! I’ve purchased several items from this shop over the past few months. There’s always new stuff and the inventory is always changing so i’m always coming by. The guys that run the shop are pretty cool too!
after years of wanting an industrial piercing i finally got mine last night! i found Jul Head on yelp and after reading the 5 star reviews i had made an appointment and headed over last night. the price for an industrial was only 45 which i was extremely pleased with. other places charge like 60+ for an industrial. the place was clean and i believe robert was my piercer. he was super friendly and answered the questions my friend that came with me asked (i was too nervous to talk really, haha). but everything went well, it didn’t even hurt that much to get it pierced. definitely will go back for piercings!
Ive been going to Jul Head for about a year and i have never been disappointed. they have excellent service, pricing, quality of products, exquisite knowledge and awesome friendly staff. I recommend Jul Head with the highest expectations. they will not let you down.
i LOVE this store!! i bought a few v neck t-shirts from this store, and the shirts are SUPER comfortable. Great customer service and hot guys, what more can I ask for.
peter is the sweetest and nicest guy ever!!i got my industrial pierced here today, after being referred by many people to julhead. i live in arcadia and i went all the way down to alhambra to see what the hype was about! and honestly, it’s not hype if it’s the truth i was 100% satisfied, and i can tell that he’s really professional. staff is super duper nice and i will be going back here all the time for my piercings.during my industrial, after he got the first one down and was going onto the second piercing, i asked him if it hurt. he said no, it usually hurts less. relieved, being a low pain tolerance girl& all i thought hah not too bad and after the needle went through, shoot it really hurt. he told me later that he usually lies about it, and i’m so glad he did super considerate.
