Yesterday, I went in to get four piercings, and from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with kindness and warmth. I arrived a little early, which gave me time to ask questions, get a consultation, and receive helpful recommendations. After choosing my jewelry, Dominique—the piercer—came over. He was incredibly genuine, patient, and attentive. He listened to what I wanted, offered thoughtful guidance on jewelry and placement, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. The piercings themselves were done quickly and were far less painful than I expected. The studio was clean, and communication from the entire team was clear and transparent. I highly recommend this STUDS location. Huge kudos to Dominique and the rest of the staff for such a great experience.
My experience was unsatisfactory mainly due to poor communication and lack of organization. When I arrived, I was told the piercer was on lunch, and I was asked to come back exactly at 3:30 pm. I arrived on time as requested, but once there, I was told I would have to wait even longer because other clients had appointments. The issue was not the wait itself, but the fact that my time was not respected and the situation was not clearly communicated from the beginning. The receptionist did not provide clear or helpful information, which resulted in unnecessary wasted time. With better communication and scheduling, the experience could improve, but unfortunately, this visit was disappointing.
I have gotten my industrial and daith from dom. They have both healed beautifully!! He is so good at what he does. So professional, communicative, and made me feel really comfortable getting intimidating piercings. I have gotten 4 piercings from this Studs location and had the same great experience every time.
