Comments:Couldn’t fault the service that Rachael and Gio gave me.I requested a removal for a nose piercing I had received at another studio.Racheal was incredibly professional but as the appointment continued it transpired that the piercing was pierced incorrectly at the wrong angle making it difficult for both piercers to remove it.Their understanding and professionalism and knowledge meant the world and made what was a tricky removal as smooth as it could possibly be.They even apologised that this had happened and offered to once it had healed to get it re pierced at a reduced rate.Fantastic professional studio |
