This is a $50 deposit towards your final total. We arrived at the Parlour and were advised that there is only street parking, so be prepared. Our appointment was with James for a second earlobe piercing for my daughter. Please pay attention to their website as they require a birth certificate if your child and the consenting parents ID, too. My daughter and I both signed consent forms and then he took us upstairs to look at jewelry. They have a wide and beautiful selection. He was very patient and informative with my daughter for her to choose what she wanted. She chose beautiful champagne colored studs He then advised us that he needs to sanitize and prep his station and the jewelry so it would be about 10 minutes. My daughter and I went back downstairs and waited a bit. After he was finished, he took us to his room and explained the process in detail to my daughter all along the way. He marked my daughter's ears and then measured her ear lobes and showed her where the earrings would be placed. Everything was sterilized and each needle is only used once and then disposed of properly. My daughter did have anxiety but didn't really show it, especially after the first ear lobe was done. James advised her how to breathe each time he would pierce her ear and she followed his directions. Again, he was very patient and professional. He gave her after care instructions and a cleanser. Since we are only visiting from Vegas, he told us to send an email about any follow ups regarding the posts in her ears if we wanted them shorter after they healed. He said he would reach out to his contacts in Vegas to help with this when the time comes. We were both very happy with the experience and my daughter was ecstatic with her new piercing. She had a previous gun piercing (my bad, I know now), so this was a much better experience. I highly recommend the Parlour.

We had such a wonderful experience getting my daughter's ears pierced here. The studio requires…read moreappointments and keeps the doors locked, which actually made the whole experience feel very special and intentional rather than rushed or chaotic like some retail environments can be. It really felt like this was an occasion just for her. My daughter was pretty nervous going in, but James was absolutely fantastic with her. He was calm, patient, and took the time to talk her through everything, which really helped soothe her nerves. By the time it was done, she felt proud and excited rather than scared. The entire service was phenomenal from start to finish. James was professional, kind, and clearly cared about making it a positive experience. The Parlour itself is also really cool; clean, welcoming, and full of personality. I honestly wish every retail or service experience I had was handled with this level of care and thoughtfulness. It made a moment my daughter was nervous about turn into a really special memory for both of us.

Once Cody had posted new openings on Facebook in the spring of 2022 I knew I had to jump in. He had been a little late for our appointment day of, but had let me know about 30 mins before the appointment. So communication was really good! The price for the gumball and a reroll wasn't all too bad and I ended up with a really cool piece of work. The atmosphere was pretty relaxing, and after we had talked about pokemon and design, he worked on the design while I grabbed lunch. Conversations weren't all too bad, I'm awkward when it comes to keeping a conversation going with new people so any awkward pauses I chalk it up to me. Care instructions were pretty straightforward and its one of my most colorful tattoos, it healed really well! Can't wait to go back for another tattoo soon, and I also can't wait to check out their new laser removal machine. Will update my review when I get around to those.
