Once you "schedule" your appointment, they will send another email with a link for a deposit that must be made within 24 hours to hold and secure your appointment date and time. 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.

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.

He is very knowledgeable and friendly and makes everyone feel relaxed and comfortable whether you're there for your very first piercing, or your 20th. Piercings are one of those things that you really get what you pay for. And although you may pay a little more at THRIVE, it's because they're using top of the line jewellery and equipment to make sure you get a safe piercing that heals up beautifully. His shop is clean and bright and he's happy to show you how all of his equipment is sterilized and stored. Jesse is also happy to have you come see him after your piercing is done if you have any questions or concerns about it. I highly recommend THRIVE to anyone and everyone considering a piercing; you will not be disappointed with your piercing, the service or the atmosphere. Jesse has done many piercings for me and every single one has been a positive experience. Honestly, I live in Guelph and I make the drive over to Cambridge to have Jesse do my work because he is, in fact, that good.

Stunning quality of service every single time, professional and knowledgeable staff, very clean, wonderful atmosphere and overall a very kind group of people.

She's super helpful and kind and always knows exactly what to do. Grim City is definitely one of the best tattoo parlours I've ever been to. Thank you guys for all the work you put into your jobs... it shows!!

Please do your research and go somewhere else! From the…read moreoutside this shop seems great. But after a few sessions you see the mess that goes on in there. They talk badly about their clients and are more concerned about their personal relationships. I had 8 sessions with Ryvn. A tattoo that would've normally taken half the time. Yes, the tattoo is large and was a cover up from laser removal. But, 30+ hours to be only half done is just taking advantage. I would've needed at least 15 more hours to complete this. Every time I would ask Ryan when we would finish she would said "I'm hoping to finish by next session". In reality, 3 more would go by. She canceled last minute for one appointment and was never ready to start at the scheduled time. After the first sketch, she would never send me the updated plans for our next appointment. This happened every. Single. time. I asked for black skin on my mermaid and got PINK. I asked for a green tail on my mermaid and rounded half circle scales and got a diamond shaped BLUE tail. I asked for a very specific octopus and got the complete opposite. I said no red and you guessed it. It's red. I would consistently ask her for a certain colour and tell her what I didn't like but she would completely disregard that. If I sent her a message I would get either no response or a response after days. They knew what I wanted and the things I had previously gone through but instead of recommending an artist that could fulfil my request, they recommended who they liked in the shop. I tried to talk to Memphis about the situation and was offered nothing besides my unused deposit. She didn't want to hear about all the things I had experienced. She talked to Ryvn and decided her side was the only one worth hearing. When people trust you with their bodies, you do your best. And when mistakes happens(it's ok that they do) you do what you can to fix it. IG is not a professional place to discuss an issue btw. Now I am suffering the consequences of an inexperienced "artist" the owner took the side of her friend.
