    Reading branch

    Reading branch -
    First of all, my low rating is due to the girl at reception who was rather rude and unpleasant. I think her name was Shree.
    Her general demeanour was unfriendly. When we asked to see the earrings available, she only showed us the very expensive (above £60) ones. And when I asked whether there are any other, cheaper ones, she reluctantly took out the below £10 ones. I think she didn’t like the fact that we were there to use the promotional offer of £15 for any piercings.
    On the other hand, Gio, who did the piercing was outstanding. Right from the start, he put my daughter at ease and he did it so expertly that she didn’t even feel it. He was chatty and so friendly. He also asked us to come for unlimited consultations if we have any issues with the piercings. He couldn’t have done a better job!
    It’s a shame Shree at the front was so off putting.

    I had an amazing experience with Elle

    I had an amazing experience with Elle. From the moment I walked in, she was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to explain everything, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire piercing process.

    Her attention to detail, cleanliness, and confidence really stood out, and it’s obvious she genuinely cares about her clients. The piercing was quick, precise, and healed perfectly thanks to the aftercare advice she gave me.

    If you’re thinking about getting a piercing, I can’t recommend Elle enough. She’s incredibly skilled, welcoming, and made the whole experience enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next piercing!

    I tend to be apprehensive of buying things online but blue banana has been just lovely! I bought two pairs of tights and a stunning claw clip- which with shipping totaled to just over £16 which I was very happy with :)
    Shipping went quickly and my items arrived within two days so very impressed in that aspect.

    Professional with Care

    I received a very warm welcome from staff. They arranged my piercing quickly and efficiently. Everything was explained and opportunity for questions. The actual piercing was performed with professionalism and great care by Sophie. I am ecstatic about my piercing. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about a piercing. Great staff and fabulous shop.

    Faulty clothing and non-responsive customer service

    Bought a pair of Banned Apparel trousers which weren't cheap, I contacted the shop via email has been over a month they never replied, I sent all photos required as proof, the fabric between the legs after 1 wear started making fluff which is not acceptable as I had bought them 2 days before and still had receipt. Contacted the general customer service of Blue Banana and they said I would have to physically go to the shop. I don't live near Nottingham and was there for Download Festival. The shop was completely non-responsive and Blue Banana general customer service not helpful at all. Won't be purchasing anything else from them.

    Fabulous customer service

    I visited the Plymouth store on 1 August and I have to say the store is amazing. It has a really wide range and the store is extremely clean. I must give a special mention to Matty who went beyond great customer service. Matty was so helpful, kind, patient and knowledgeable - I wish I could give the review 10 stars!
