    Caroline in LP was the best!!!! This was so clean, so easy and such a fun experience for some 40 year olds that still want to be hip

    I walked in without an appointment last week because I wanted flat back earrings for my lobe piercing. I’m legally blind and found it impossible to do on my own. I also wanted to get my second lobe pierced, but I was hesitant because I forget if piercings hurt and while I deal with chronic pain I am a TOTAL BABY about regular people pain. I chose Rowan because they only hire registered nurses to do piercings which made me feel comfortable because the last time I got my ears pierced, it was at Claire’s by some 18-year-old manager-in-training wielding a piercing gun and rolling her eyes. They also have solid gold or titanium flat back earrings which I knew I could leave in without needing to change, a bonus for this blind girl! The guy at the counter (I think his name was Pete?) could not have been nicer or more accommodating. I was super impressed. (But wait! It gets better!) Enter Caroline, piercer extraordinaire. She asks which jewelry I want and I tell her. She says with my low vision, she’d recommend another style. I appreciated her honesty and went with her selection. She inserts the jewelry with no issues or discomfort. She’s warm and friendly and just a whole vibe. I feel like we’ve been friends for longer than five whole minutes. I feel brave and ask if she can do my second lobe piercing. She says she has time — let’s do it! She changes her gloves again “I’m all about cleanliness!” and meticulously marks my ears, tries to show me (I can’t see it, but I trust her!) and asks if I want to know what she’s going to do before she does it. I pause and say “just do it.” She sensed my hesitation and said she was going to walk me through it. (Spoiler alert: It didn’t hurt at all!) Afterwards, I got detailed aftercare instructions verbally which I appreciate because the sheet they handed me is for my sighted partner. I already want more piercings and as long as Caroline is there, I know I’m in good hands. If you need an ear piercing, go see Caroline.

    Gabby was very nice and thoughtful with my 3rd lobe piercing. My last one had turned out uneven so she did a good job of providing some symmetry! Thanks again!

    They are so kind and have great customer service! I had a wonderful experience at this Rowan. When my second piercing closed up a few months later because I had accidentally taken them out and thought I could just put them back in but I couldn’t - I went in and they had a way to not have to totally repierce it. They also gave me new posts for free. I had left my original earrings there the previous day and they kept them overnight to sanitize them. Seriously cannot say enough good things.
