I stopped by MOLA the other day downtown because of a piercing emergency. Halo was very warm and insightful with the situation as well as kind and welcoming, considering it was my first experience there. Zach helped me with switching my jewelry out to something much safer and it’s doing better already! They’re a great team and I 100% recommend visiting them. I will definitely be going back In the near future. 10/10.

Had such a great experience at Mola Body Piercing! Halo styled my ear with the coolest, most-beautiful pieces. I came in for multiple ear piercings including a helix and conch and they spent a solid two hours making sure I was happy with the jewelry and worked with my budget. So happy to have found this spot with such talented professionals! Cant wait to go back.

The lady that pierced my ears and the receptionist were both very pleasant and helpful. I have never pierced anything and I decided to get 4 ear piercings.. I was very pleased with the results. If you’re prepared to pay a premium for an extremely high quality piercing experience and with an equally high quality selection of jewelry (even if it’s your first piercing), this is the place for you. Highly recommend!

10/10 best piercing experience I’ve ever had. Zach did my front nostrils, talked me through the whole thing, and did an amazing job. The placement is even better than I could have imagined on myself and they’re so symmetrical. Halo also was extremely helpful in picking out jewelry that was affordable for me and making sure that pricing was okay with me before we moved forward with anything. They also gave detailed aftercare advise and were just as excited as I was to see how it turned out. Best piercing experience I’ve ever had in Charleston, hands down.

The experience at MOLA is far more than a your average piercing experience, its walking into a wonderland of quality products and amazing service. The the clear and specific knowledge of products given by Alisa was astoundingly helpful and I cant thank her enough for guiding me in the right direction. Furthermore Halo took it upon herself to assist even more, adding charm and even the feeling of friendship to the experience. Truly one of the greatest places Ive ever been. MOLA is far more than just a store, you just have to see for yourself 😁👍

Went in 20 minutes early for an appointment and was totally handled professionally. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating with answering questions about their products and services. The entire process was completely easier and less painful than I expected it to be. Idk about jewelry prices and so on, I went to a place that was highly recommended and would have paid whatever due to the fact my piercing is in my nostril and I wanted a quality job.

Ive been to MOLA on Spring twice, this time I went in to get my conch done. Halo was at the front desk when I came in and they were super helpful with helping me pick out the right jewelry for my piercing as well as recommending good aftercare. They were super friendly and helped calm my nerves before I went back to get pierced. Brian was my piercer and he was very professional and he explained everything he was going to do before he did it. This is the only piercing shop Ive been to in SC and I wouldnt send anyone anywhere else.

I got a piercing at MOLA and it was the best piercing experience I had. The staff are very nice and organized with their check in process. I got pierced by Brian who’s a great piercer! It literally took seconds with minimal pain. Not to forget how clean the shop is! 100% recommended

Halo posted some amazing jewelry and I just had to have it. Making appointments is easy with them and fast. Everyone here is professional, locations always clean, jewelry selection is the best in Charleston, and Halo is beyond helpful, kind, and they make you feel at home in the shop. I highly recommend MOLA for all of your piercing or jewelry needs!!!! Best in Charleston.

I was visiting Charleston and found this shop on the same street as my AirBnB. I was a walk in and treated so extremely well. Halo, the sales assistant was so patient and kind in helping me pick the perfect piece for my flat piercing. Zach was the piercer and did a fantastic job of keeping me calm and relaxed. Zach had to actually repierce the area due to having it done wrong at a spot in my hometown. It was one of the best piercing experiences I have ever had!

I am from out of town and wish I could get any future piercings done here too! I was a walk-in and was SO impressed! Halo walked me through options and I could tell they truly enjoyed educating and helping me pick. Michael did the piercing and had careful attention to detail and a calm demeanor. Even though I didn’t have an appointment, they were accommodating and were not at all ‘put off’; their conversation with us about piercings and general conversation was organic and comfortable. I felt like they cared as much as if it was their own piercing. They also looked up (without me even asking them to) a reputable piercer home in KC to go to when it was time to get a shorter bar (when expected swelling goes down). Thank you both so much!

The service was great and everyone was super nice, but the price was just unbelievable. I took my friend to get their ears pierced and we both had no idea that it would cost them over $200 total for a simple lobe piercing. They had to pay for each earring individually and the cheapest one was over $50. They also had to pay a $35 fee just to make an appointment, then pay more money for the service itself. It was way more than we were planning to spend, but this is the only place in Charleston that does piercings so we didn’t have any other options. It would’ve been better if they were more upfront about the prices before you make an appointment so you know how much you’re actually going to spend.

I received my first piercing here, it was a septum piercing. I was very nervous but Brian and Alleis (sorry if that’s incorrect spelling!) made me feel so welcomed and comfortable I forgot how nervous I was. The procedure was quick and they made me laugh to help mask any pain I felt. I was suggested the perfect jewelry size and color, it fits my face so incredibly well. I could not be more happy about my piercing OR my experience. I would definitely recommend MOLA on Soring St to anyone looking for a piercing. Thank you guys so so much!!!!!!!

MOLA will forever be my sole piercing provider. After making the mistake of trying a new shop, being pierced with a bad rod and dealing with painful rook irritation, I came to MOLA desperate for advice. My piercer (I wish I got his name) welcomed me in, changed my bar to a full titanium one and offered me excellent advice on how to care for it. Within the day my inflamed ear is in the process of healing. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I never leave reviews but, after reading so many negatives I thought it was best to share. Our experience was above and beyond our expectations. I brought my daughter here for her sixth birthday to get her ears pierced. She was kind of nervous and quite frankly I was nervous how she would do as well. The sales associate Alisa was super nice and friendly. But most of all, I was really blown away with Brian Gillespie! He had the most calm demeanor and was very professional! He went through everything step by step and quickly put my daughter and myself at ease! I was very impressed with his knowledge and kindness! This place was super clean and had an amazing selection. It was somewhat pricey but, you get you pay for! I love my new moon 18 karat gold earrings! Well be back for any other piercings we get in the future! I definitely recommend coming here.

Review №18

Very disappointed in this experience. They stole mymoney. Apparently you need to read ALL their policies before you decide to go there. I read reviews prior to calling to make an appointment. Never considered that my 13 year old would not be able to get her nose pierced with my consent. When we went to the appointment they let us know that they would not allow a 13 year old to get a facial piercing. Disappointing, but I get it. But then they refused to refund my deposit even when they refused to provide a service. Both times stating that it was all on their website. I would not recommend just for the fact that if they are going to adhere to strict policies they should disclose that on the phone when making the appointment.

Best jewelry and piercing shop in town!Had a traumatic experience getting my nose pierced at a totally different place. Came to MOLA to get it fixed with a jewelry change. They handled my piercing with total care and switched me out to such a better stud!!! I’m over the moon. Justin was awesome. Thank y’all!

Got my septum pierced here today, first piercing ever other than my ears. Zach was very kind and thoughtful when it came to my questions and concerns. If I could rate more than 5 stars I 100% would. Will be coming here again in the near future to get more piercings.

Review №23

I absolutely would not recommend this shop for your piercing needs. First, they tried to hide the more affordable jewelry and only showed me only their expensive options. I had to explicitly ask if there was anything more affordable and it was apparent they were trying to upsell and intentionally did not show me all the options. More importantly, my helix piercing cause me to be in pain for 5 days due to being pierced with a post that was too short. Although I told the piercer where I lived, near the mountains of Asheville, he did not take the elevation change into account and a few days after being pierced my ear swelled up like a balloon around the jewelry he put in my ear. It took 5 days for the swelling to go away and I had to drive to a specific shop 45 minutes from my house, pay for parking, to fix their botched job.

While on vacation in Charleston I stumbled upon this shop near my Airbnb. I had no intention of getting a piercing but have had my daith pierced for a while and had been wanting a quality piece of jewelry. All of the staff was super helpful and hospitable. While the piece I picked was basic and bit pricey (18k white gold), it will probably stay in my ear forever. Brian put my new jewelry in for me and went through everything step by step. Super appreciate the staff, quality of jewelry and professionalism!

I had the best experience at MOLA. Halo at the front desk helped me with picking out all my jewelry and what would look most aesthetically pleasing. They literally took me through alllll the possible options. I changed out my nose rings and septum and got my philtrum pierced all in one appointment. Michael was my piercer and was very kind. They made sure to go through all the steps and answered any questions I had. MOLA is the only piercing shop I go to.

I live most of the time in Ohio where piercing noses isn’t allowed right now. I come to Folly Beach about every other month for a couple of weeks. I began to read reviews and finally decided Museum of Living Art had the best reviews. The scheduling was easy and my questions were answered promptly.I had been thinking of a nose piercing for over two years. I’m a bit older so wanted to be sure. Yes, t he jewelry options seemed limited but they were just what I wanted and they were quality! I may be wrong maybe studs are all you can get to begin with. They had beautiful jewelry, that is for sure.Everything was so tasteful, clean and professional. Jenn was especially kind, funny and great to work with. Ask for her! I’m going to say something you may not believe but this is totally true! I felt zero, zilch pain. NONE! I had no pain later. No swelling I could tell. Here I am three days later still with no pain, no redness etc. If that isn’t quality work I don’t know what is!

Everyone made me feel welcome and comfortable! If you can, book a piercing with Brian (the assistant manager), he is incredibly nice, precise, and will talk you through everything to make sure you know what’s happening and to make sure you love the piercing spot before the needle goes in! I highly recommend museum of living arts and Brian!

We calmed 2 other planes, $50 and 60 jewelry included. Buyer beware, if you arent able to pay the $80+ for a noes ring, steer clear!!!

Review №31

I appreciated a quality piercing experience. I went to pierce my second closed up holes in my lobes. They were actually able to open back up my old holes, rather than pierce my ears. So less painful, less post piercing care and then refunded a portion of my piercing fee. That would not have happened at Claire’s or the like.

This is THE go-to piercing shop in Charleston! I’ve gone 3 times now, and received outstanding customer service and piercing execution every time. The piercers here are truly amazing at what they do, professional, consistent, thoughtful, and super informative on aftercare and things to consider when getting a piercing. They’re also super on top of equipment sterilization and store hygienics–which is something I’ve always been impressed by. I can’t stress enough how amazing this place is! Definitely deserving of the title for Best Piercing Shop in Charleston!

I went with my wife to get her septum pierced. It was the most professional piercing experience Ive witnessed. I have been pierced over ten times at other places and I was shook thinking I could have been coming here. We are excited to buy some unique pieces of jewelry here in the future.

I had a really great experience! The guy up front (didnt get his name) was very friendly. Also, Ive never been to a place where you have a variety of jewelry to pick from for your piercing!

I had such a great experience getting my septum pierced at this MOLA. Not only is it incredibly clean and professional, but the staff is excellent. I was greeted upon walking in by the three women behind the counter. They were welcoming, helpful and made me feel very comfortable. One woman took her time showing me the jewelry selection appropriate for my piercing, and answered all my questions about pricing. Jen pierced my septum and did such a great job. She was also nice and fun to chat with. The piercing process was sterile and swift, with a beautiful end result. Thank you MOLA!

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS!!!!!! THEY ARE OVERPRICED AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I went to this location to get a new ring for my nose and due to covid I couldnt be in there without an appointment which I understand , but the problem is that I asked brian if the ring I was purchasing was the correct size and he said yes. so I left and realized the the ring he said that would fit doesnt. I was in a meeting and thought it would be easy because they were downtown, I asked about making an appointment because I thought I would have time to and when I asked he would rudely say you can look online at the website like your literally sitting at your computer doing nothing!!! Why cant you look? so I then called back again because I wanted a refund im just not satisfied with the customer service and business I received. now mind you I was keeping my tone as professional as I could , so I called the location and a woman picked up and told her I wanted a refund and you can hear how frustrated and mad she was getting and then she passed the phone over to Brian and he said that they wouldnt be able to give me a refund but that they could do something else (which I didnt trust them at this point to touch my face because you could literally cut the attitude through the phone with a knife) I proceeded to explain to him that I should have to suffer the consequences because of your false judgement he then said ok this is my 3 time repeating this to you) like excuse me ? I have never been talked to in such a way and at this point im completely irritated and then he hung the phone up on me. I had got in contact with the general manager about the situation and still no help , so now im out of money because of the EMPLOYEE NOT KNOWING. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE , TAKE IT ELSEWHERE.

My piercer was awesome, made me feel comfortable, and was very informative. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Went in with a friend to get my second flat and her tragus pierced. We have both been to many other businesses for piercings but our experience with Janelle out-shined them all! Large selection of high quality jewelry and very professional attitudes. Janelle has quite gentle hands and my pain and swelling is far less than with my first flat piercing. Would more than recommend going here for your first or tenth piercing!

Went in for a quick change of my girlfriends naval ring to a glass piece for her MRI the next day. Ended up staying for an hour with Rebekah talking about different beautiful pieces. I ended up getting my conch pierced with a lovely rose gold shell piece.Rebekah was extremely inviting, kind, knowledgeable, and stepped us through everything. She makes these incredible chains that are custom made for whatever you may want (were going back and picking up a few). The place is also very very clean and welcoming, I cant recommend this place enough. If you are going to get anything pierced get it done here, its worth it, your body and piercing will thank you. And at the end of the day you want to look your best and Museum Of Living Arts Body Piercings will make sure you do!

Review №51

The customer service was 5 stars, but absolutely nothing can make up for the price not to mention I assumed at least a mini after care kit would be included. BEWARE there are other quality shops in the area for a large fraction of the cost. I have a video of my service she had to force the needle through my left piercing and I could hear a loud break in skin which wasnt an issue until I realized it is not straight like the other and its already giving me the most issues pain wise. A comment she made about only having dark ink to mark where she would place the needle could also contribute to that being that my skin is darker leading to not much room for contrast. My piercer was GREAT and everyone in the shop was welcoming, but Im disappointed with the end results.

Review №52

Not quite sure how this place has so many great reviews. I had a really horrific experience here my feshman year. Ive tried to put it out of my mind and just be happy I eventually came out of the experience with an piercing I like, but some friends finally concinved me to write a review to discourage others from going here. Though I had explained to the woman at the front desk I had no experience with face piercings, she and the woman piercing me really rushed to get me in and out, and did not explain or take care in the piercing process. The woman piercing me ended up not being able to push the jewlery through the hole she made with the needle, and I had to lay back for about 10 minutes, blood dripping down my face and into my mouth, crying, as this woman who didnt seem to know what she was doing tried to force the jewlery in. She kept apologizing and saying it was one of the most brutal piercings shes ever done (given, it was just a standard septum piercing) but STILL ended up charging me full price. I was so hurt and scared from the expierience I paid and left. But I really urge anyone thinking about getting pierced to just find somehwere else. Dont take the risk.

Review №55

I’ve had 3 piercings done here when I didn’t know as much as I do now. A good studio should have all their prices clearly listed out on their website or in their shop with little variation depending on jewelry, etc. I had a helix and my second lobes done here. Helix was about a year and a half ago and took about a year to heal (pretty normal for me) my second lobes were about a year ago and only one is fully healed and the other is still constantly irritated and red even though I clean all my piercings the same and take good care of them. As well as this they do not give you any instruction on how to get the jewelry out! At no point was I told they are pull apart earrings and spent a long time trying to unscrew what I thought was just a stubborn earring. I actually had to go BACK IN to ask how to get it out when both I and my mom couldn’t figure it out. I also went in on a separate occasion to ask them to take a look at my helix (it was just irritated but I wanted to make sure) and was told it had moved down and I should let it close and redo it after paying about $150 to have it done. I said absolutely not and am still happy with it to this day (despite the horrific price). My lobe piercings are crooked and not even at all. When I went to have these ones done I actually asked about the price and why it was so high. I was told it was because I was charged for the jewelry, post, backing, a piercing fee, and sterilization fee, and lots of other little fees here and there. I got my rook done at a studio in New Hampshire and was charged a total of about $55 for it. Their prices were clearly listed on the website and it has healed wonderfully in the past 6 months. Please don’t go here. The staff is friendly but becomes defensive when asked about anything like pricing and stuff like that. Anyone who is looking to get a piercing please pick another location. In Charleston I would recommend Exotic Impressions. Their prices are listed right on the website, no bs, no fuss. If you happen to be in New Hampshire, Medusa Body Piercing is a wonderful place with friendly staff and clearly listed pricing as well as always making sure your well taken care of and have everything you need for a well taken care of piercing (and they have a great selection of jewelry for a good price). Overall I would not recommend this place to anyone, in fact I actively tell people to avoid this place and get their piercings somewhere better.

Review №59

The staff here are so helpful and accommodating. I originally went in to get a daith or industrial piercing, but was unfortunately told that because of my ear shape that they were not suitable piercings for me. Instead of just leaving it at that, they helped me figure out why I wanted that particular jewelry and recommended other piercings and other jewelry to get the same effect. Unfortunately I had to leave before I actually picked something out, but I will be back soon to get a piercing from them. The staff is knowledgeable and comfortable, and their shop is clean and welcoming.

Review №63

Seeing the owner of what is supposed to be regarded as a respectable shop, deny further business instead of doing the best he/she can do to remedy a situation is flat out horrible ethics. Additionally, there was no intimidation there was a polite, we know what to do which is leave a honest review which a customers right. So for practicing there rights they are refused service and accused of intimidation. Bad form sir/maam and to attempt to throw accusations at people publicly instead of just apologizing and requesting to have a private email is again bad form of a business owner. Never treat customers that way.

Review №64

At first I was stoked with my experience here. The staff was nice and respectful. And my piercer (Jenn) did a clean job with my daith as she didnt have much surface area to work with. A week in it was my easiest piercing yet. Then I developed a bump, so I messaged her on Instagram (this is what she instructed me to do if I had any questions), never heard back. So a week after my message I followed up in person and she blew me off. I just messaged her again yesterday because I saw a Dr. about the bump to make sure I wasnt developing a keloid and was advised to have the piercer change the piece because my skin is irritated by the metal. So I messaged Jenn again to see if they would change piercings out and how much it cost. No reply. So while my actual piercing experience was fine, Im not sure Id recommend them due to customer service.

Ive been to the shop on Savannah highway multiple times and had a great experience every time. I decided to check out the new shop and was equally impressed.

Outstanding staff! This is the best piercing studio in Charleston! Extremely sanitary location. The staff is very knowledgeable & highly professional. I recommend MOLA to anyone for their piercing needs. I recently visited this location on Spring Street to have my lip pierced on one occasion & returned a few weeks later got an industrial piercing. I had the experience of being pierced by Laura and Barkley. I must say I am extremely satisfied with both piercing experiences. There is no other place in Charleston to even consider being pierced.Go check them out :) You will be pleased with all that they offer.

Ive been to plenty of piercing studios around the Charleston area and I can honestly say that my experience here has been like no other. The service is simply unmatched as all of my needs and concerns were addressed without question. I was actually surprised with how well-kept this place is- very clean, organized, and professional. One quality that stands out with this studio is its great jewelry selection. They helped me pick out something that really worked well me. Since my first experience here, I have returned for all of my piercings and I do not foresee myself taking my piercing business elsewhere.

I was visiting South Carolina and accidentally lost a ball to my septum ring, and to find a place around there that even sells them was like a needle in a haystack, so to find this place I was happy until they told me how much a standard horseshoe sterling silver septum ring was....I paid 55 dollars for a septum ring that has the thread on the ball so if I lose the ball on this one i would have to buy a whole new piece of jewelry AGAIN! I would never buy from them again the prices were ridiculous

So professional and clean and knowledgeable. I went to get both of my nipples pierced for their Friday the 13th special and Michael was great. I was worried dealing with a man doing my nipple piercings, but his professionalism put me at ease, even with a line of people out the door.I did have some issues with the jewelry being ill-fitting, but Janelle and Laura made sure to get everything fixed for me, free of charge. I thought I was being a nuisance, but Janelle made sure that I felt validated in my concerns and was helped fit me with jewelry that fits me perfectly, now. Thank you, Janelle!Their jewelry is beautiful here and super unique (walrus tusk hangers?!). Theyll even do custom orders for you in the correct gauge and color. I just have basic piercing jewelry right, now but Ill definitely be back to order new jewelry later on.Overall, the piercings are healing super well and dont even hurt less than a month in, which I attribute to Michaels skills and advice. Ill definitely be back again to get some ear piercings and my belly done :)

I got my nose pierced today by Jaida. She was incredible! The studio is super clean, sterile procedure was followed to the T, and I was thoroughly educated throughout the process. The jewelry is all made with high quality materials and the selection is beautiful. Thank you MOLA for another wonderful experience!

Literally JUST walked out the door. I lost a ball on my new septum piercing (done by Janelle in the WA location) after searching for about a day & a half just walked in to the downtown location. Brian & Jenn greeted me as soon as I walked in the door & asked what I came in for. I was in & out in all of about 5 minutes, and got to meet a fellow USAF brat in the process. THANKS GUYS!!!

I have been going to them for years. They have done well over a dozen of my piercings. Pretty much everytime I have healed enough i go in for another. They are very professional and clean. They only use high quality material then many other places. Its not much more expensive then any other piercing place. I absolutely love going here. Definitely the best in charleston.

Over priced and I was fitted with the wrong earring. After I expressed my concern and displeasure I was told there was nothing the could do for me after the piercing was in my ear, no refunds or exchanges. Would not go again. I recommend Piercing Perfections, they switched it out and fixed my old earring for free.

Clean studio, knowledgeable and friendly staff with a large selection of high quality jewelry. Its easy to see why this shop was voted Charlestons best piercing studio (city paper 2014) as soon as you walk in the door.

Had two helix piercings done in my right ear. The staff was ok, but not very informative or polite. In total the piercings cost $175 plus a $20 tip I gave. I thought the price was outrageous, and the staff incompetent. I have never had any issues with piercings, as I have two dermals, my belly, several ear piercings, and nose pierced and they healed fine. However the cartilage in my ear did not heal well at all, which I believe is due to how it was pierced. The girl seemed the have trouble the entire time. There are plenty of better places with lower prices to have your piercings done.

Perhaps a bad day, but I got an incredibly rude person who preemptively instructed me not to touch anything. Hopefully, others’ experiences are better.

I have to say this place is amazing! The staff is super nice and knowledgeable! The woman who Peirced my ears and helix did an amazing job and was great with all my questions and concerns! The place itself is awesome, great selections and very sanitary. My favorite thing is that the staff and place are not intimidating and are very understanding/helpful. I could tell these people are in it to help and advise people. I would totally recomend this place and if I ever want anymore piercings I will definetly come back!

Rebekah is so unprofessional. She struggled with putting my daith piercing in, kept dropping the ball then would comment shes just trying to make sure my ball is in tight, but how is that possible when its a struggle with putting it in. Plus she pinched my skin 2x with the tool. When I ask to speak to a manager of course she stated she was so when I ask for a refund she refuse.....poor experience & customer service with a bad attitude. Plus I forgot to mention her male friend who she allowed to walk in the room while i was being service..no privacy......
