Rowan reviews and discussion

I got my ears pierced here for a second hole in each ear. I found it to be clean, professional, and efficient. I think it is geared more towards young girls but still a great service and the people that work there are very knowledgeable.

Reviewing my piercing experience. I really enjoyed it! My friend and I booked back-to-back appointments and our nurse spent 1 hour on us total, answering all of our questions and letting us take our time figuring out our piercing location and designs. Highly recommend! Given that we had such a great nurse, I would imagine that your experience might be different depending on which location you go to and which nurse you get (and how long you get with them).

I got my second set of piercings when I was 12 and one of them closed up in my late 20s, so I went to Rowan to get it repierced. The experience was seamless and it was affordable and I liked that I was going to get pierced by a nurse, instead of paying a ton of money for a simple piercing at a high end piercer or paying a similar price for someone who could be less experienced. I ended up taking a friend to get her second holes there a few months later and while I was waiting, decided to get my conch pierced on a whim! It was great and seamless and they gave us certificates of bravery at the end which was cute. My two "cons" (which aren't that big of a deal): 1. the jewelry is cheap looking, so I swapped out my re- pierced earring when I was healed. 2. They told me I could come back to get the post on my conch swapped out if I ran into issues during healing for free. When I did that, I was charged like $25 for the post. Again, not that big of a deal, I just wish they had been transparent!

I got my ears pierced at one of their studios in New York. I really loved that the piercer was a nurse, the studio was clean and it was easy to book an appointment and be seen on time. We took our time marking the placing for the three new piercings I was getting but my piercer seemed greener than the others and I wish I would have spoken up and requested a more experienced nurse. She was gentle and the actual *piercing* was done with excellent bedside manner BUT she missed the placement point we had identified so one of the piercings is lower on my lobe than I would have liked. As a conflict avoidant queen --I figured there wasn't much I could have done in the moment and just let it be. (Either I could just live with it or remove the jewelry and let it close.) A friend of mine came with me and she had a different nurse/piercer who seemed to be more experienced (maybe even the lead nurse?) -- and she had an amazing experience.
