Zelda Zen — Local services in Baltimore

Came into this store because I loved the aesthetics of it. The ladies inside were nice and greeted me but shortly after I arrived there was loud conversation between the employees about personal endeavors that were honestly not only unprofessional but could have been harmful to young impressionable people. If I myself had heard this conversation a year or two ago, it would have really hurt me and potentially even have sent me over the edge. Depression is a very serious issue and I believe talking about it is essential for healing among those directly touched by it and their family. That being said, hearing a worker at this store describe a depressed person in her life and how much of a toll this other person's depression was taking on the worker by association, is not only inappropriate but something extremely sensitive to many people. I know that many of the things I heard her say "It's so hard knowing a depressed person", "I've tried everything but she just won't stop being sad", "It puts me in a bad mood to be around her", etc were things that people I loved would say about me and I felt immense guilt about when I was in a bad place and if I was still feeling like that, this employee's perspective would have been affirming all the things that were already making me feel so sad and guilty. This kind of outlook on depression, that of frustration and strife, from the people around me, was what kept me in a place where I felt I could never get better and only perpetuate further suffering to those around me... I'm sure that I just walked in on a hard day, and I empathize with the struggles of everyday life. We are all human and we affect each other in ways we can never comprehend. But this kind of chat really turned me off to the store and I couldn't even stay inside for more than a minute before stepping out. Not the kind of environment I expected from such a cute little place. I hope the best for the worker and...

Five stars... Are you kidding me? This place gets ten stars in my book. Need a birthday gift look no further. In need of a little cash therapy for yourself? Get yourself to Fell's Point hon.

We had a wonderful experience at Zelda Zen getting my 6 yo daughter's ears pierced. Beth was SO caring, kind and patient with her- even when she was scared. Beth is highly experienced and really took the time to be sure the piercing was in the best spot and explaining the details of after care to us. The jewelry available was all adorable and high quality. The price of jewelry and piercing was very reasonable compared to other shops I had checked, and it included the after care solution. The shop itself was fun to see, with plenty of cute cards, gifts and jewelry to add to the experience. I'd highly recommend going to Beth for piercing a little one, as she did a great job overall and will always be...
