To whom it may concern:
I had an exceptional experience at the studs location near Harvard Square. The clerk, Sophia, was exceedingly helpful and my piercer, Rus, put all my concerns at ease and handled my piercing with care and professionalism, with a strong emphasis on cleanliness. I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough.

I got my helix pierced about a few weeks ago and had a great experience. Sophia was very helpful and kind at the front desk and Rus did a great job piercing me and giving me guidance. It's healing perfectly which has not always been the case with my past piercings. Definitely recommend!!

Amazing experience! Booked an appointment online and got in early, and they were kind enough to squeeze me in an earlier slot. Staff were super friendly and thoughtful, from helping me pick my jewelry to checking if I wanted juice or water to make sure I felt comfortable throughout the process.
