The birthday girl got her ears pierced today at Rowan! Absolutely great experience! Even though she was the only nurse there today and had lots of people waiting, she was super patience and kind with my daughter. For all future piercings this is where we will be going!

Victoria did an amazing job re-opening my second lobe piercings. They had been closed for 10 plus years and she was still able to taper them open with minimum damage and almost no pain. So very glad I chose Rowan!

My daughter got her ears pierced here for Christmas and Victoria was fantastic! She was very friendly. Victoria discovered that her first lob piercings were very uneven and was able to provide a solution. Not only did she do a great job on the piercings we got but she made the older ones better by balancing the unevenness.

I had an amazing experience with the piercing nurse. Taylor was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She took the time to explain the procedure, answered all my questions, and followed strict hygiene and safety standards, which really put me at ease. The piercing itself was quick and done with great care, and her calm, reassuring manner helped ease my nerves. Aftercare instructions were clear and thorough. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and professional piercing experience.
