We had an amazing experience at Rowan. After a 6-hour road trip, our nurse Allison went above and beyond. She made our 6-year-old feel confident and calm before the process, and comforted her afterward with so much care. The customer service was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We just had our daughter’s (9) ears pierced by Allison. She did an amazing job. It was a needle piercing and she was insanely nervous. But Allison did so well with her. She talked her through the whole experience and helped her stay calm. We will definitely recommend to everyone we know!

Had the pleasure of having Sonia do my double helix, something I’ve wanted for a long time and she was incredible! She really helped me understand how the anatomy of my ear affected placement and found a solution that worked wonders. I love it! Thank you so much. :)

Our group had such an amazing time getting our piercings done with Allison! From the moment we arrived, she made all of us feel relaxed and excited about the experience. She was incredibly professional, kind, and patient with everyone — taking the time to explain the process, answer questions, and make sure we each felt comfortable.
Allison’s attention to cleanliness and precision was top-notch, and her calm, confident energy made even the nervous ones in our group feel totally at ease. Each piercing turned out perfectly — quick, clean, and beautifully placed. She also gave us clear aftercare instructions and helpful tips for healing, which we really appreciated.
We all left feeling so happy with our new piercings and impressed by Allison’s skill and personality. It’s rare to find someone who’s both technically excellent and genuinely fun to be around. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending her to everyone we know!

I booked an appointment 3 days in advance for a needle (helix) piercing at this Rowan location. They called me 1.5 hours before my appt to inform me there was no one working that day who was trained to do needle piercings.
While I can understand employees unexpectedly calling out on short notice, the associate who called me was almost trying to convince me a device piercing in my helix would be ok. I think the training perspective at Rowan is seriously flawed if they’re trying to convince customers to do cartilage piercings with a device. In hindsight, I’m glad this all happened the way it did. I’d been contemplating a helix piercing on and off for 5 years before finally booking this appt. This call renewed anxious feelings that have kept me putting it off for so long, and I’m glad I ultimately didn’t go through with it at Rowan.
I did end up getting my helix pierced later the same day with Angela at Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing on Burnet and would highly recommend. Very clean and professional atmosphere, and it was an incredibly easy process getting my piercing done as a walk-in.
