The staff there is second to none! Loved everything about this place from the warm greeting right when I walked in to the professionalism they delivered during the piercing, I cannot recommend this place enough! Eden and Makayla should both get a raise! 10/10

I would highly recommend Rowan for all your ear piercing needs! Everyone was friendly, professional, welcoming and knowledgeable. Leah did an amazing job doing my daughter's 2nd ear piercing. She was a perfectionist and took her time deciding the placement of it! Makayla did a great job helping to pick out which earrings would look best and we loved the selection of jewelry! We were so happy and look forward to going back!

I went in for a piecing with my sister and it was a great experience. The piercer and staff were friendly and well informed. I would definitely go back for more ear holes.

My 7 year old daughter has lately been curious about getting her ears pierced for the first time so I took her to Rowan since we were shopping in the area. Immediately we were met with a very welcoming and kind staff. They answered all my daughters questions and even let her look at a few of the jewelry options they have. Needless to say it was a very pleasant experience and once my daughter is ready we plan on returning to get her ears pierced.
