Nurse Sam took amazing care of my daughter for her very first ear piercing. As a parent, you always want your child to feel safe and comfortable—Nurse Sam made that effortless. She walked my daughter through each step, explained what was happening in a calm and friendly way, and made sure she felt confident before moving forward.
The piercing itself was quick, clean, and professional. My daughter left not only excited about her new earrings but proud of herself—and that meant the world to me.
Highly recommend Nurse Sam to any parent considering their child’s first piercing.

I was feeling rather spontaneous & decided to walk in to explore some options. I had the pleasure of working with Sam. She was so sweet and professional. She helped me choose the perfect stack and went over everything so thoroughly. I absolutely love my new piercings and honestly can’t wait to add more! Would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking. Thanks again!

We had a GREAT experience with my 8yo’s first piercing. Nurse Sarah explained options well and helped us choose the best (and most cost effective) option. Nurse Sam was super sweet and ensured we had best lobe placement. Both ladies worked together so piercing was done quickly and with minimal pain. So glad we came here!

Could not have asked for a better experience getting my daughter’s ears pierced for the first time today! The staff was so friendly and our piercer, Sam, was a master of her craft. She marked, re-marked and measured to make sure the piercing location was perfect. She was calming and sweet and put my daughter at ease. Seeing all of the piercing tools and earrings laid out on a tray in their sterile autoclaved packaging put my mind at ease. Sam was so meticulous about keeping the whole procedure clean and sterile. I was impressed and would highly recommend Rowan to anyone looking for a safe and fun piercing experience!

I want to give a big thank you to Sarah and Sam at the Rowan store in La Cantera. They were incredibly patient and kind while helping my 5-year-old get her ears pierced. They took their time, explained everything gently, and made her feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process.
Their professionalism and calming energy turned what could have been a stressful moment into a great experience. I really appreciate the care they showed. Highly recommend this location—and especially Sarah and Sam!
