- SFStephanie FreyJan 3, 20265.0First time at Stud's in Rice Vilalge. Went in for a helix and Jo was so helpful. Quick, professional, and accommodating. Great service and seamless. Highly recommend.
- ICisa cJan 2, 20263.0went on a Thursday afternoon and made an appointment 1 week prior for my friend and i (we made 2 seperate appointments) @4:00pm & 4:20pm, and we got pierced at around 5:00-5:30 it was kinda of disrespectful. We got misinformed as well, one of the girls at the front said i’d be good to go for an industrial (she is a piercer as well) and when i got to the actual piercing room the actual person piercing me told me otherwise and I had to change my expected piercing. regardless, it’s a fun plan to do with friends, just make sure you’re not in a rush or something.
- MRMilan RevelsJan 2, 20261.0I have had two tragus earrings replaced at Studs, both of which have fallen out of my ear with no warning or sign of loosening, within 6 months! This is utterly ridiculous considering the cost of Studs jewelry. My original tragus jewelry lasted just under 4 years and required tightening one time. I’ve had this piercing for 10 years and this is the most frequent this has occurred. To make it worse, it’s impossible to get in touch with anyone at the store via phone! I truly have trouble recommending Studs to others at this point.
- NMNanette M.Jan 1, 20265.0Thank you, Yaz! Came in to do my 2nd lobe, the studio was clean and the staff were super nice, quick yet thorough. They recommended future piercings based on my ear anatomy/anesthetic. I will be back!
- OOOrchidJan 1, 20262.0I typically have good experiences in the past which is why I made an appointment for my son to get his ears pierced at 3 PM on December 31 and made the trip from Galveston all the way to Rice Village. We arrived early for our appointment and were told (understandably) to return closer to our scheduled time. We came back about five minutes before 3:00 PM and waited. During that time, we noticed other customers arriving after us and being taken care of.
