- JJJaela JohnsonAug 16, 20265.010/10 experience, will be back for more!
- TCTravis ClevelandAug 13, 20261.0Called about trying to get a discreet initial ear lobe piercing, glass or another clear material and unfortunately for a Piercing studio they claim they do not carry glass, will not even try to source a special order (weird for a specialized store not to even know or attempt) and they will not accept any outside jewelry. I understand not having it standard in stock, and I was willing to pay a premium for custom ordering, so it is very disappointing for a chain that is supposed to have Options and a "wide" selection.
- SPShannon ProctorAug 6, 20261.0It’s 3 pm on Thursday, August 6, 2026. Came here to get my piecing downsized. Rep at the front desk said they were closing for lunch and to return at 5 pm. 1. Where on the website does it say that this place closes for lunch?? 2. Closing for two hours?? I made a special trip here just for this service. Very disappointed.
- DGDomonique GibsonJun 24, 20261.0I had an appointment for Monday 6/22 at 4pm. I arrived a little bit before 4 just to see that they were at lunch. No call, text, or email were received beforehand or afterwards to reschedule.
- WPWC PATRICKJun 9, 20265.0It had been more than 20 years since I last had my ears pierced, and the team at Studs—especially Gaby—made the experience exceptional from start to finish. Gaby carefully walked me through every step of the process, with a strong emphasis on safety, cleanliness, and client comfort. Their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail immediately put me at ease. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering a piercing.
