              If you have been searching for the perfect place to get your ears pierced, you can stop your search! Beauty Studio by Superdrug offer piercings you can trust with their state-of-the-art touch free process.

              Intrigued? Read on to find out more…

              Why Choose Beauty Studio?

              All of our Beauty Studios, which offer ear piercing in the UK, are registered with their local councils having met the highest standards required to operate. So, first and foremost, you know you’re in safe and sterile hands!

              Which Part of The Ear Can I Get Pierced?

              Our Beauty Studios offer piercing on the lobe and upper cartilage area.

              What Do You Use to Pierce Ears?

              All of our Beauty Studios use an innovative and technologically advanced instrument to pierce ears – there will not be a piercing gun or needle in sight!

              The unique device uses hand pressure to provide a gentle and painless piercing process; this is especially great as we offer piercings to young children who are aged 3 and over.

              earring 3

              To ensure a completely hygienic process, your chosen earring (more on that soon) is loaded into the instrument while still in its sterile packaging so the piercer never has to touch the actual earring.

              The ear is automatically pierced with one simple squeeze. No loud noises; no bangs; and absolutely no touching!

              What Will Happen at My Appointment?

              Step 1: Choose your Jewellery

              We have 28 hypoallergenic piercing earrings to choose from including white gold, stainless, 24ct gold plated, and titanium studs.  The prices will differ depending on which kind of earring you choose. However, if you purchase one of our earrings in-store then your piercing is free! Our Beauty Studio team will be on hand to help you select the right earrings for you.

              Step 2: The Paperwork!

              Before your piercing, you will need to complete some paperwork. At this time, someone from the Beauty Studio team will also talk you through the piercing process and the aftercare information you will need to best care for your new piercing.

              Step 3:  Hygiene Checks

              Once you’re happy, our Beauty Studio piercer will clean down surrounding surfaces and the chair, wash their hands and apply clean, fresh PPE, including latex free gloves. Once they are prepped, they will check your ear is healthy (no scars or cysts, for example) and then clean your ear with Studex alcohol prep pads.

              Fun fact: Studex has been established for over 40 years and we’re very proud to use them in-store!

              Step 4: Mark the ear

              Once your ear has been cleaned, your piercer will mark your ear exactly where you want it to be pierced and check you are happy with it. They won’t need to touch you for this and won’t touch your ear again now it has been cleaned with prep pads.

              Step 5: Time to be Pierced!

              Your chosen earring will be loaded into the instrument, remaining in its sterile packaging, and it will then be lined up with the mark on your ear. Then, with one gentle squeeze your ear will be pierced!

              Step 6: All About Aftercare

              It is so important after you are pierced that you take really good care of it! Once your piercing is done, your piercer will apply your chosen solution and take you through the aftercare procedure.

              A Quick Recap:

              • All Beauty Studios are registered with local councils
              • Every piercer is fully trained
              • All of our studios are clean and sterile at all times
              • You can choose from 28 different earrings
              • The process is quick, painless, and simple!
