Highly recommend Nurse Ashley—she was very helpful and informative throughout the process! The staff is welcoming, professional, and clear about pricing, piercing locations, and aftercare. Everyone works hard to provide a high-quality experience. I would definitely recommend this location!

BUYER BEWARE, Bad Business. They will rip you off.
My wife and daughter just got ripped off and paid $109.19 for a single helix piercing and one single 14k stud. This is highly overpriced, and I feel she was terrible cheated. Not even a pair of earrings for $68, one single earing. Where's the other earring, I've never seen earrings sold individually. Only at places that cheat you and keep the other earring or sell it individually.
Go to Claire's and buy a $100 pair of earrings and let them pierce it for free.

I took my 2.5 month old daughter to get her ears pierced at the Fairfax Corner location. There was a nice selection of jewelry to choose from. Because she’s an infant the nurse uses the pressurized piercing gun which came pre loaded with the earring in its own packaging for sterilization purposes. The nurse Ashley was SO kind and very informative. She was efficient with the piercing itself and made sure to let me know to take my time to help my baby calm down. She made sure her earrings would be perfectly placed in her lobe, how to hold my baby still for her, and of course how to maintain and clean her piercings after. What I found outstanding was that you come back in 3 weeks and they check her ears to make sure they’re healing correctly! You get a certificate of Bravery after the session which is great for the baby book. I’m SO happy with my decision to use Rowan and could not be more in love with her little earrings. The shop itself is so cute and bright with lots of earrings to purchase. We will be back for any other piercings in the future!

I brought my 7 year old here for her first piercings (lobe piercing). The store was very clean and bright. Good selection of earrings. Ashley was the nurse who did the piercing. She was very kind and gentle and thorough with her aftercare education. Great experience!
