Emma did a fantastic job with my new piercings! I got my 3rd lobes pierced and a new helix. She was very thorough, walking me through the process and aftercare. You can tell the studio takes great care with sanitation and ensuring the process is done correctly. Emma got the placement perfect; it’s always a worry of mine that I might get piercings that are not symmetrical. But as soon as she handed me the mirror, all worries disappeared. Some of the reviews had me worried about pricing (they mentioned surprise costs). I was nervous because I’m not in the best financial spot, but if you decide to choose the basic jewelry, which I did, the total cost ends up being very reasonable. With a tip, I paid just over $180 for all three, and the follow-up appointment to switch to shorter bars is only $10. I do think that the upgraded jewelry options are on the pricier side, but that wasn’t a concern for me.
In the past, when I first got my helix pierced, I ended up with a rare infection. I had to have it re-pierced later, which I did at a popular studio, where they used a piercing gun instead of a hollow needle (if I had known that before the appointment, I would not have gone!), which was very painful. I felt it caused more trauma to the area, which made it take much longer to heal. Additionally, the jewelry options weren’t high-quality and used a butterfly back. It was such a polar opposite experience to this studio!
The piercings are already looking so much better than they did in my previous experience. The swelling went down within just a few hours, and this is how it looked the day after (the last photo with wet hair).
These are going to be my last piercings, I wish I could’ve had them all done here!
