Ear & Body Piercing

Q: Is jewellery included in the price of the piercing?

All Essential Beauty piercing prices include high polish implant grade surgical steel jewellery from our standard design range. Our surgical steel jewellery is hypoallergenic and great for initial piercings. Jewellery upgrades are available and include custom Swarovski designs, titanium, Bioplast®, 18ct gold and PVD 24ct gold, rose gold alloy or black.nnWe strictly pierce with autoclave sterilised jewellery; this is why we can’t pierce you with jewellery you already own.

Q: When can I change my jewellery after getting pierced?

You can change your jewellery after the recommended healing time has passed, and you feel that your piercing is fully healed. If you are unsure, pop into your local Essential Beauty and chat with one of our staff members. We have a wide range of custom body jewellery available in a variety of different colours, designs and metals! Changing your own body jewellery can be tricky, if you purchase jewellery in salon, we are happy to change it over for you at no cost!

48 hours prior:

Do not take blood thinning medications such as Aspirin or Advil.

On the day:

Make sure you are hydrated and have eaten a meal. Low blood sugar could cause you to feel faint.

Your experience:

Your Piercing Specialist is there to help you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your experience. Our experienced staff will help you choose jewellery from our extensive range. Our staff will also discuss the position of your piercing with you and mark the location of the piercing to ensure that you’re happy with its placement.

Safety and Hygiene:

Every Essential Beauty piercing is performed in a sterile and hygienic environment. Our salons undertake regular health inspections and are compliant with Government legislation regarding skin penetration. All piercing needles and disposable equipment are of single use, and all other equipment and body jewellery is autoclave sterilised prior to use.

Piercing aftercare

Essential Beauty’s two Step Sterilear Piercing Spray system has been designed to aid in healing your new piercing. Our Sterilear aftercare sprays can also be used throughout the healing process to clean and care for your piercings.

Our best piercing aftercare tip… be patient and follow the advice of your piercer! Healing can take anywhere from 1-12 months (or even longer), so stick with your piercing aftercare plan. It also depends on the type of piercing, fleshy areas like the lobes will heal quickly in 1-2 months, but if you’ve had anywhere in your cartilage pierced, like your conch or helix, you can expect it to take a year to heal.
