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 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.

After recently sitting for my fourth tattoo at Canalside Tattoo Company, I decided it was time to…read morewrite up my review. Obviously I like the joint or I wouldn't have come back so many times. But I want to tell you why I like this place. First, Shawn and I hit it off immediately! If you're going to allow a guy with a needle to permanently imprint your skin, you want to like him and trust him. And you want to enjoy the awful process! Shawn and I "met" on Facebook. We had something like 60 mutual friends, so I asked him how come I didn't know him. We started talking and I knew immediately he was a kindred spirit. He's very funny, quick-witted, and a great storyteller. It's nice when we've got an hour or longer session and I can focus on his story and not the awful (albeit beautiful) work he's doing on my arm. Second, Shawn does consistently brilliant work! And don't fret if you see his stuff and you don't see "your style." Just because you don't see it doesn't mean he doesn't do it. The well that is Shawn's talent runs very deep, I assure you! I still can't believe he's in little Medina, NY. That's brings me to the third reason I go see Shawn. I'm supporting the community in which I grew up. That doesn't mean you should drive to Medina if you live in Buffalo, but it's an added bonus for me. I grew up there, and so did Shawn. In fact, that's why his prices are what they are. He's in Medina, not Buffalo. Could he charge Buffalo prices? Yes, he is worth it (he's worth a lot more, honestly), but Medina probably couldn't support it. So why not enjoy the benefits of getting a great tattoo in a small town and drive to Orleans County? If incredible tattoos at a ridiculously affordable price isn't enough, there's another reason I go see Shawn. Reason number four, it's clean. The shop has a great vibe, everything is super-clean, and I don't ever feel like I'm on display. I'm always comfortable (as comfortable as is possible when you've got someone jabbing your skin with a needle a gazillion times a second, causing you to bleed and whatnot). He's got a TV if you want to watch that, or like I said before, Shawn is great at distracting you with his easy conversation. I'm currently working on a literary sleeve, so I've got pieces related to books or comics I've read and loved. While I was visiting San Francisco recently, I was stopped no fewer than three times a day by people wanting to know who did my tattoo. Specifically most wanted to know about my Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close tattoo. Over the period of ten days, I told at least 30 strangers the story of my tattoo, and where I got it. Most also wanted to know the cost. When I told them, they were shocked. One girl told me a piece like this would cost me $750-$1000 to have done there - with the details and the quality and the great color, they were all amazed to hear it cost me less than half the low-end figure. So when I say Shawn does "big city tattoos" at a "small town price," that's not some clever catch phrase. It's tested and true.

The girl here is super friendly (especially to Barbie) and we had all kinds of different questions about all the many types of piercings we might get, and we like all the input possible, and while the internet is very valuable in some ways, talking to someone in person is even better. She didn't seem to mind the fact that we clearly weren't planning on getting anything done that day and for this reason I would definitely get piercings done here especially from the girl that helped us on the day that we were here.
