*Please note: ear piercing is currently only available at our Ashby and Beeston Stores.

What can I expect in my appointment?

On the day of your appointment, you will arrive in-store and be greeted by one of our professionally qualified piercers. You, or your legal guardian if you are under 16 years old, will then be asked to fill in some paperwork to ensure it is safe for you to be pierced. 

You will then select which pre-sterilised studs you would like for your piercing, and our piercers will advise on the perfect placement based upon your face shape. Once your placement is selected, we will use a marker to place a small dot on the ear. We will not pierce until you are happy with the position and are feeling ready. 

We will then pierce your ears and provide you with your aftercare solution and advise on the best aftercare practices.

What piercings can I get?

We only pierce the outer ear and cartilage. 

Can I gey multiple piercings done at one time?

Yes, you can get up to three lobe piercings done at one time. 

For cartilage piercings, we can pierce one ear twice, but not both ears at the same time.

We also offer dual piercings, which is where two of our piercers work simultaneously. If you are seeking this service, please contact your local store directly to make sure we have two piercers available on your preferred day

How old do I need to be to get my ears pierced?

Children need to be at least 5 years old and those who are under 16 must be accompanied by a legal guardian for the duration of the piercing appointment. 

How much does it cost to get my ears pierced?

Ear piercing costs between £25-£90, depending upon which pair of studs you choose. The cost covers the service, the studs themselves and the aftercare solution. Our selection of studs includes medical grade stainless steel, 9kt gold and 18kt gold. 

If you wish to only get a single stud, the price will be 1/3rd less than what the cost of the chosen pair of studs. 

How long is the ear-piercing appointment?

Appointment times vary upon the individual being pierced, but on average, an appointment can last between 5-30 minutes. 

What do I do if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
