Vibes Smoke Shop

I love this smoke shop! Great customer service! And they always have a vast amount of merchandise! Thank you for always meeting my needs at a great price! Best smoke shop in Redwood city!

My sister got a piercing here, the dude was so nice and her piercing came out great! And the smoke shop is the best part! The place beats many other Bay Area prices. The shop is very well stocked and will have everything you could possibly need. Their products are reliable. 2 thumbs up!!!

To be honest I was dreading going here to get a piercing and almost chose somewhere else. I’ve had bad experiences here in the past. This time when I walked in the place was clean and there was someone waiting to help me. He was very informative and patient as I asked to see the jewlery. They had a good selection and I found what I came for. When it came time for the piercing he was confident, calming, and quick. Everything was sanitary and labeled. The piercing came out great and is healing nicely fyi
I was pleasantly surprised by what the new owners have done to change this place. I’d go back.

Insert the usual ‘I would rate this zero stars if I could’ line. And this is coming from someone who’s never written a bad review before.
I went in here a little over a week ago and got my bridge and septum pierced by Andrew. As a person, Andrew was very nice and friendly, which is great and much appreciated to the point where I was hesitant to leave a poor review, but it needs to be done.
My bridge piercing was so shallow that by the second day the bar was starting to show through the skin, which means you better remove it unless you want some gnarly scars as rejects right through your skin.
When I got my septum done, there was a bit of bleeding on one side but I didn’t think too much about it. Andrew looked it over and cleaned it up, and by the time I was able to look at it, the swelling and scabbing made it a little hard to see the placement.
Now I can see the placement. It’s both too low, and the exit doesn’t even go through my nostril. It goes right through my columella (I’ll be adding a photo so you can see). I have seen poor septum placement before, but I have never seen it so bad that it misses the nostril itself.
I have an extremely difficult time believing a piercer wouldn’t notice this mistake. Needless to say, I’m taking my septum out as well. I know some people will say most piercers will repierce a bad job for free, but with both piercings being bad, I can’t imagine any others would be good.
