Margaret is a saint!
Margaret pierced my 6 year old's ears last year. No tears, all good. We were provided a calender, care instructions and a bottle of witch hazel for post piercing care. My daughter's piercing healed with no issues.
Fast forward a year later, we removed my daughter's earrings and were unable to reinsert. Her piercing closed up and we had to pay Margaret another visit. As expected, communication with Margaret was swift and we were able to see her the same weekend. At the repierce appointment, my daughter was feeling extra sassy and gave Margaret a hard time. Margaret took everything in stride and kept her sense of humor through the entire appointment.
Thanks so much, Margaret! You're awesome!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Dear Jeanie, Thank you for your very kind review and your kind words. I have to chuckle, your daughter was just not in the mood to have me touch her lobes, I did get a little smile as she left. Thank you for the picture. Please reach out if you need any further assistance. Warm regards, Margaret

I want to start by simply saying that this place is amazing, for those who want a quick review, the owner was professional, kind, empathetic and just made this experience amazing.
That being said I want to share my experience. A year ago I purchased a piercing session and earrings (which are beautiful) and took my then 4 year old daughter to our appointment. Despite a valiant effort on the part of Margaret my daughter was not having it, she simply wasn't ready. Usually this would result in me losing my appointment but Margaret told me that if I kept my earrings I could comeback and finish my appointment and get my daughter's ears pierced. I immediately felt relief and appreciation for Margaret for allowing us to simply come back another time, I appreciate peoples time and this was very kind.
Fast forward a year later (no joke) my daughter finally felt ready to get her ears pierced. Margaret despite the huge gap in time kept to her promise and we were able to return with the earrings we had purchased from her and finish my angels ear piercings.
Margaret was simply amazing went above and beyond for my daughter and I appreciate it. In addition to that she made my daughter feel heard, comfortable and as a result she didn't even flinch this time. Margarets use of numbing spray and professional yet caring process made my Angel feel comfortable and now she has her ears pierced and is so happy.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Margret is just so incredible at piercing babies ears. We came here 4 years ago with my firstborn and now with my 2nd child. We went a month ago and my 2 month old did incredible (some tears). Margret was so careful and payed so much attention to detail when considering the position of the piercings. My daughter has small lobes so she explained that to us and why the position she chose was best. My husband and I trusted her judgement and wow! My babies piercings look amazing! We are about five weeks post piercing and my baby isn't phased by us cleaning them or when she sleeps on her side. They look perfect! Margret is so professional, organized, detail oriented, kind, patient and the cleanliness is outstanding! Highly recommended!

Expensive. With that kind of money, the first thing i would expect is excellent service. However, that was never my experience here.
I had an appointment, rang the bell, waited outside for over 30 mins. Margaret was inside, did not answer or even care to open the door for me. There are no chairs or waiting seats outside of this place so there is no other option but to blankly stare at the walls and the door. If you, as a customer are late, she charges full fee for your absence. After i left, she later sent me a text saying she forgot about our appointment and she was on the phone. That was her excuse. I drove 40 mins to keep my appointment that day.
Attached below are the transcripts from the message exchanges that day of the appointment. Note: I waited for another 10 mins even after saying i was leaving just to see if she would open the door, however, she didn't. Also if you don't believe me about the waiting area go check it out for yourself. There are indeed, a few chairs outside in the hall but those are for the patients of a doctor's office a few doors away from her place. I won't be surprised if now she adds some for her own customers.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Dear Shakutala R. B. I had to go back and locate your first appointment scheduled on 10/10/2023 at 12:40 On your first appointment I provided a discount and charged you 1/2 of my usual appointment fee.
On your second appointment on 12/12/2024 I was going to look at your lobes as a courtesy appointment there would have been no charge. Regarding your second appointment, I did acknowledge I had written down the wrong time for your second appointment. I was 5 minutes late. not 30 minutes late. I entered through my service door.
At 12:15 pm. When I arrived I read your text message and immediately opened my office door. You had left. I sent you a voice message and text message to see if you were still in the building, but you didn't respond. Reciving your review left me puzzeled. Why wait 4 months to post your review? As the shoemaker posted on the one-star review you gave him on the same day "maybe you were just having a bad day."
I've posted the email you sent when I asked what service you were coming in for on your second appointment;

from Babypiercing.com responding to Shakutala R.BGood evening,
Thank you for scheduling your appointment.
Would you be kind enough to provide additional information?
Is this a first piercing?
Thank you!

Hi Margaret,
No its not. I have an existing piercing already thats not too wide and i have problems wearing thick earrings. I want to come & bring a thick studded earring this time for you to help put in. You told me last time to bring my own set and that is why i am bringing this. But just in case this doesn’t work then i will need you to put your most thick studded earring. I lost your previous one.
Thank you for your kind understanding,
Shakuntala.

I took my 5 month old baby to get her ears pierced. Margaret did an amazing job. She's very patient and good with babies. I liked how clean and sanitized her work space is. She also explained the process and the maintenance of the piercing very thoroughly.

Yesterday, my daughter & 2 friends got their ears pierced together at Babypiercing. Girls are 10 years old so felt they were old enough to be in charge of doing the after care. Margaret is warm, kind, thoughtful & gentle. She made every step so clear and treated the girls respectfully, so they felt in control & responsible.
Her practice includes the following:
-ear numbing
-selection of very cute stud earrings 14K
-disinfecting earring selected
-marking ears with dot for earring placement
(Parents input is welcomed. She will explain why she chose to dot in particular place on the ear but parents have the final say)
-parent goes in with child for support while ears are pierced. Friends stays in waiting room
-in a group, talked about after care for pierced ear.
-giving each girl a kit take home which included, witch Hazel spray, small calendar book, marked important dates & small stamp.
-lastly, parental instruction but to supervise and monitor.
Margaret is so knowledgeable about placement for earrings; Things, we, moms, never thought about as got our ears pierced by someone in the mall.
Overall, everyone left happy and so loved their experience.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Margaret is a nice lady who seems competent in what she does! She explained everything in details and gave us thorough instructions on how to do the routine cleaning. I had some questions and reached back to her and she texted me back with a very polite positive attitude which was really appreciated. Thank you Margaret!
