I took my 15 month old to get her ears pierced. First - they use a piercing gun, even though they state they do not. It is powered by a human hand, but still a gun. Second, the piercing went so poorly in one ear that the piercing is angled up in such a way that it is very visible with the stud in the ear and to the point when my daughter got it caught and the earring pulled out, that I was not able to get the earring back in.
Third - they are VERY expensive for what is a bougie version of Claire's.
I put my baby through that pain and trauma just to have to let the piercings heal up in less than a month because of the terrible angle and not being able to get the earring back in. I myself and my two other girls have never had issues with our piercings done at any place but Rowan.
Save your money, dont put yourself or children through this and go to a professional piercer.

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!
