Jori Zan's Body Piercing — Local services in Salem

*edit to my review after 5 months (original unedited below): I stand by what I said about her being kind and compassionate but I am not quite sure what happened after the fact. After my appointment was over I went home and started the healing the process. I seen not long after on social media that Jori had closed temporarily due to having vision issues and seeing spots. (Makes me nervous she was still piercing while this was happening, but thought maybe it wasn’t bad enough to impair that.) I was told at my appointment to come back after my nose healed and swelling went down to put in a smaller post. Mind you I paid over $200 for 2 nose piercings and jewelry. When Jori opened back up she is now only by appointment and you HAVE to book online. I reached out asking if I can just come in real quick and was told to book a piercing change online. Just to do that, not counting any jewelry cost is $50! It also doesn’t mention that any of that will go towards cost of jewelry or anything. I then reached out and asked if I could just pay her for the jewelry, pick it up and do it myself. I never got a response. So I had to find another location that sells jewelry to go buy the correct length of post from them since I’m no longer healing. I ended up getting a couple cysts because I kept catching them when trying to do normal things after they were healed. This makes me very sad and this could have been resolved so easily.. I was looking forward to coming back but that will no longer be happening and trying to warm anyone I have a card to or recommend to. If you do not have to go back for a second time for any reason I highly recommend though.

Original unedited post: I’ve never met a more kind and compassionate human ever!! Jori is super patient and kind and super clean and makes sure that you have the best experience ever!! Took my foster kiddo in and we each got some things done and had a million questions to go with! Not only did Jori answer our million and one questions but made sure we knew as much as we possibly could about care and maintenance and even sent us with a flyer if we forget something! I’ve never had anyone give me the after care instructions she has but love every single one of them and can’t wait to go back for more!! Hands down best piercer in Oregon! Even if I didn’t live in Salem anymore I would fly or drive how ever...

I love getting piercings here or shopping for jewlery. All of their jewlery is high quality and beautiful. I've also never had a problem with any of the jewlery. Everyone I know who has gotten a piercing done here has been extremly happy with the finished job and the service. The first thing I got done here was actually getting help with a lip piercing that started to close up because I wasn't home and my jewlery fell out. She was very sweet, kind, funny, and understanding. I definitely knew I wanted to come back. Since then I have gotten four piercings from her (both times I got them in pairs.) She has given me my favorite piercings which are my venom piercings (two tounge piercing side by side) she did such a lovely job and I'm extremely happy with the outcome. She was also the only place out of a couple places I called that definitely could do my double tounge piercing the same day I wanted it done (One place had a person getting a specialty piercing licence but that would take awhile.) She also gives a lot of good information on the paper you take home. Most places I've been too offer a cleaning solution or just give you sea salt and send you on your way with a small paper telling you how to use the sea salt and how long to clean. Jori Zan's suggests another, even better way to clean your piercing with chamomile tea and I really appreciate that. Jori Zan's can be pricey but its worth it with the amazing job she does and the lovely jewlery they offer. I know the four I've gotten recently will not be the last piercings I get from her and I can't...

Jori is kind and very good at the art of what she does, piercing. She was patient and kind with my kids and my daughter is happy with the results. But I will say the ticket system didn't work well for me. When you grab your ticket you don't have any idea exactly how long you will have to wait. Waiting in the car 1.5 hours for a kids piercing was too much. It was also hard to figure out pricing beforehand so after waiting 1.5 hours in our car we finally get inside to see that it would cost: $130 for ear piercing. My daugther already had her ears pierced but one had closed up and so it was really just once piercing on one side and then changing out the earring on the other side. Just to change the earring on the other side she charged me $50 which is the same it would be to actually pierce the ear. In the moment I was just tired from having waited so long and didn't push back on the price which is my fault. I'm just sharing so that parents can make an informed decision and decide if waiting 1.5 hours and paying $130 is worth it. Again the owner is good at what she does and if you need something more complicated it probably makes sense to go to her but for a simple ear piercing it was just too much for me personally. So this review is not so much for the owner as it is info for...
