Great experience here!! I took my daughter to get her ears pierced and Melissa was nothing short of amazing, from her outfit to her work space she’s an absolute baddie 🖤 Melissa explained everything with firm focus on safety and aftercare, even did some breathing techniques with my girl right before she did her thing. The other guy that was there (didn’t catch his name) was super funny and made us feel very comfortable and welcome as well. The prices were also amazing and she is so great you’ll absolutely leave her a good tip too 😘. Thank you Ironhide for having us and taking good care of my girl. Peace and love 🖤✌🏻
