Get ready for Fall…book a complementary Express Facial!!
Our Professional will happily pierce ears for anyone six years and older as long as the piercing fits on the ear lobe. We do not provide cartilage piercings. The piercing is completed with an FDA approved medical hand-pressurized system.
All clients under 18 will need a parent present during piercing to provide written consent and to approve the placement.
The cost includes the piercing service and first pair of earrings which are sterilized, sealed and used to pierce the ears. We cannot use client-provided earrings. Our selection of earrings includes Gold Plated, Stainless Steel, Titanium and 14K Gold.
We do have the recommended Piercing Care Gel, Piercing Care Spray and additional earrings for purchase, including specially designed earrings to wear while playing sports.
Note to Mommy & Daddy: If you have a young first-time piercer, please help us give your angel an exceptional experience. Review the below set of responsibilities so they know what they are expected to do after their piercing. Also, please let them know that it is not pain free and to expect a pinch, but that we apply a solution that eases it very quickly. Once the seal is broken on the earrings package, the payment for the service will be completed.
Do not touch your ears without first washing or sanitizing your hands.
With clean hands, wash ears using lint-free natural cotton pad, mild anti-bacterial soap and water. Apply Studex Piercing Care Gel with a Q-tip to the front and back of each earlobe two times a day for six weeks. OR apply the Studex Piercing Spray on the front and back two times a day for three weeks. After cleansing, gently slide your earrings back and forth and rotate them in a circle. This will ensure absorption of the solution at the piercing site. Do not remove your earrings when cleansing and do not use alcohol or peroxide as a cleaning solution.
Do not tighten your earring backs. They should be loose with the earring backing sitting at the end of the post in the notches. Check each day, as they can naturally tighten while sleeping.
Use care when using products such as shampoo, soap, hair dye, perfume and hairspray near your ears. If possible, gently cover your ears to avoid contact with these products. If contact occurs, rinse your ears immediately to avoid irritation.
Use care when styling your hair around your newly pierced ears. Brushes, combs, curling irons and hair dryers should be kept a safe distance from your ears.
Use care while dressing. Pulling clothes over your head can result in trauma to your ears and slow the healing process.
Avoid swimming for 24 hours after piercing. It's always a good idea to wash your ears with soap and water as soon as possible after swimming until you are fully healed.
Avoid over-the-ear headphones, hats, caps and scarves that rest at ear level while healing.
Leave your new earrings in 24/7 for six weeks. After this time, provided your ears are completely healed, you may replace your earrings with another pair of good quality earrings. Do not wear heavy earrings for at least six months to prevent stretching. If your ears begin to feel sore, return to your original earrings for one to two more weeks and resume the aftercare instructions.
After the six-week period, you may take out your original pair of earrings, although, another pair must be in your ears at all times for one year to avoid the holes from closing up.
Pain, redness, warmth and or swelling are not normal reactions to ear piercing and are generally uncommon and are typically due to not following the above instructions. Please consult a physician immediately.
