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 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.

Moria very quickly became my go-to piercing studio after one or two visits here. Amanda and Jeff…read moreare both so great to work with. Jeff has the best bedside manner of any piercer that I've gone to and always explains what he's doing which I appreciate. Amanda does such a good job of styling jewelry and helping me pick out great pieces that will fit with my vibe. I'm eventually planning on revamping all of my jewelry with her because they have such a great selection of fine jewelry and really go the extra mile to help you out. If you're looking for a new piercing artist I would definitely give them a try!

Amanda helped out over DM's to pick out the perfect piece and I couldn't thank her enough for helping me snag the piece that I currently and proudly display on my ear. Amanda is amazing and incredibly helpful, sent me detailed photos and videos of the various pieces I was interested in. She even offered future curation assistance to style my ear and jewelry recommendations. So if you ever run across this lovely studio on your instagram, don't hesitate to get in touch with them to send you a gorgeous piece. If I'm ever in Buffalo I am definitely dropping by and giving my love to Amanda.
