Best for a first ear piercing done by a licensed nurse, not a mall gun.

Our take

Rowan is an ear-piercing studio at Southlake Town Square, and the thing that sets it apart from a mall kiosk is who does the piercing: a licensed nurse, treating it as a medical procedure rather than a quick pop with a spring-loaded gun. There are two methods — a single-use sterile needle for ages five and up, and a hand-pressured device method available from two months old (with a valid DTaP vaccination) — so parents can match the approach to the child's age and nerves. The jewelry is hypoallergenic, in 14k gold and similar metals, and the studio also handles post-piercing jewelry changes and healing check-ins.

It's the local outpost of a national, woman-founded brand, so the clinical standards and nurse-only policy are consistent chain-wide while the studio itself sits on the north end of Town Square. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged — especially on weekends.

Local Tips

The studio is on the north end of Southlake Town Square, across from the main square between L'Occitane and Tyler's, with free parking out front and in the nearby garages. A few things worth knowing before you go:

  • Appointments are encouraged even though walk-ins are taken, so booking ahead saves a wait on busy weekends.
  • For babies, the device method needs a current DTaP vaccination; for older kids, the needle method starts at age five.
  • Texas rules apply for minors getting a cartilage or nose piercing — bring a valid ID and a parent or guardian with proof of relationship.
  • New piercings can take up to a year to fully heal, and the studio offers a complimentary healing evaluation along with nurse aftercare instructions, so it's worth going back for the check-in rather than guessing at aftercare on your own.
Credentials

Every piercing at Rowan is performed by a licensed nurse — the brand frames piercing as a medical procedure and markets it as "The Rowan Clinical Piercing Standard," with a medical advisory board of physicians behind its protocols. The Southlake materials don't name an individual resident nurse, so a family evaluating the studio should expect nurse staffing as the operational standard rather than a single named practitioner. Rowan is a woman-founded, women-led company.
