Sam did an amazing job with my conch! She was so professional, explained clearly what she was doing, how she was going to pierce it, and was just overall very kind. The store was also very clean, and had such a fun vibe. Would definitely come back!

Nurse Maddy was so welcoming and instantly calmed my nerves. She made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. Her technique was both efficient and meticulous, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Rowan & if you’re at the Tempe marketplace location ask for nurse Maddy.

What an amazing experience! I finally pulled the trigger on my conch piercing and I am incredibly happy that I chose to go to Rowan. Maggie was the nurse who pierced me & I will 100% be going back to her for more. I really appreciated how she explained every detail as she was doing it and I could feel that I was in good hands. The moment I walked in I was greeted by one of the nurses who was absolutely wonderful! She walked me through picking out the right jewelry for my piercing and ear shape and I’m so happy that I listened to her because it turned out perfect.

I had the best experience here with Maddy and the team at Rowan. I was so impressed with their kindness, knowledge and professionalism. The first thing I appreciated was that Maddy explained right up front what my price would be from the very beginning. Super clear. Loved that! The other stand out was that she talked me through every single step of my piercing experience. She was so efficient, so incredibly clean, and just truly made the experience for me!

Very rarely leave reviews for a specific employee, but I CAN’T recommend Sam enough. She is the most wonderful and kind nurse and saved my ear. Got 2 piercings that started swelling around the piercing after a downsize and she helped get the piercings out and upsize again lol but she saved me from having to take the piercings out to close up and start over. She is so patient and nice and deserves all the praise. Then re-downsized me when I had healed up enough. 10/10. If I could give this more than 5 stars for Sam alone, I would.
