    Lost Item - No Help

    I would give them zero stars if that were possible - I am currently £180 out of pocket for a pair of New Rock boots that never actually arrived with me. Royal Mail tracking shows a picture of the floor and someone's fingertip - nothing else, so it proves absolutely nothing. Contacted Blue Banana right away and they were initially very responsive and told me they would open an investigation with Royal Mail which could take up to 4 working days to be completed. A week later and I have had no further updates from Blue Banana, they have now ignored two further emails from me trying to get an update and their customer service phone number just rings out (I tried it 6 times and the same thing each time). Looking through other reviews it seems like this is something of an MO for Blue Banana, which is quite frankly shocking. Never had an issue buying from in store, but will never order anything again online and would advise others not to place any high value orders online with them.

    Had angel fangs done today at the Birmingham store. I was made to feel very comfortable and at ease. The whole process from booking in to having the piercing was easy and the staff are welcoming and helpful.
    I would definitely recommend blue banana for piercings.

    Absolutely appalled

    Absolutely appalled. Just got a tragus pierced this morning in Manchester by a girl whos name started with N, cant name it as it gets removed but(Multicoloured hair and double brow piercings) and the angle and placement is completely wrong. It’s practically on my face and the angle is nowhere close to perpendicular to the tissue. I went back and they tried to convince me that my anatomy was making it look skewed and then it was due to the jewellery and lastly that it needed to try healing. I didn’t feel welcome or comfortable. Not to mention how I was made feel when I went back (within 5 mins) to tell them about it. I left it in so that I could get a second opinion from a different piercer who took one look at it and apologised for the original piercer. The second place offer to re-do it properly for me for free and only charged me for the jewellery due to my experience in Blue banana. They did it perfectly and made me feel incredibly welcome and valid.

    Blue banana did offer 3 free piercings but I will not be using them as I do not trust them to even do a lobe. There are many better piercers within a 5 minute radius of this place therefore I strongly discourage you from coming here. Also if you do decide to go here, they will initially try to sell you 14k gold expensive options and say it’s the only choice and only after they will offer titanium. Will not be returning.
