    Samantha assisted us with a device piercing for my 2 month old, amazing quick service. So glad we chose Rowan to have her ears pierced! Super clean store and great selection.

    Such a special mom-daughter experience! Our piercer, Samantha, was incredibly kind, patient, and made my daughters feel so calm and confident the entire time. Everything was clean, professional, and thoughtfully explained. It felt safe, celebratory, and honestly made our NYC trip even more memorable. Highly recommend Samantha!

    I brought my 7-year-old to get her ears pierced here. The plan was for me to get a second hole along with her first. She insisted that I go first, but then got cold feet and did not want to do it. Samantha was THE ABSOLUTE BEST and was so patient and kind and explained every step to her clearly, and eventually, my daughter felt comfortable enough to go through with it. I would give 10 stars if I could!
