I randomly walked into Studs to check it out and decided to get some updated jewelry for a few ear piercings I had. The front desk staff was super nice and my piercer Tamara was amazing. She was very informative, professional, and so sweet! There is a small fee to place the new jewelry in for you and I would gladly pay that a million times than to struggle at home trying to put the jewelry in myself. They have a lot of cute options for all your ear piercing needs.

I had a piercing issue about 2 weeks after my experience and because they don’t allow you to talk to anyone on the phone, your only option is email or driving to the store. I have terminal cancer and can’t drive right now. I have emailed them FOUR TIMES and still haven’t gotten a response. Their lack of response and consideration for their customers in times of need is very concerning, especially how much they charge for their products.

I’ve been meaning to come to this place since they opened. It’s super trendy. We walked by and decided to get piercings. There was maybe a 15 minute wait. My friends and I got one piercing each. The area was clean and the process went smoothly. I don’t have any complaints. The piercing specialist was super nice and walked us through while piercing.
