Houston Ear Piercing Studios for Kids

1. Sweet and Sassy – Pearland, Humble, and Katy

This kids’ salon, spa, and party destination in Houston offers an exciting ear-piercing set-up for children as young as 4 months old. With a soft throne, certificate, keepsake photo, and wide selection of stylish earrings in 14k gold and surgical stainless steel to choose from, Sweet and Sassy goes above and beyond to make this big moment memorable and pain-free. Ask your professional piercer to do both sides at once for a nervous kiddo (when we had my daughter’s ears pierced there, they were happy to oblige). Finish it off with a sprinkle of hair glitter and a lollipop for the perfect combination of sassy and sweet.

2. Princess Piercing – Mobile piercing service

For a children’s ear-piercing experience in the comfort of your own home, call the board-certified nurse practitioner and registered pediatric nurse at Princess Piercing. Spending 30 minutes from arrival to aftercare, this mobile piercing studio walks you and your little princess through the process, demonstrating the procedure and aftercare on Ellie the elephant stuffed animal to reduce fear. Before they begin, a topical numbing cream is applied, and parents can choose if they’d prefer a hollow single-use needle or a hand-pressured device. The crew brings all supplies, including a selection of hypoallergenic earrings in various metals and designs.

3. Pretty and Pierced – Spring

With the motto, “No tears, no fears. Just pretty, pierced ears,” you’ll feel comfortable bringing your little one to Pretty and Pierced, a professional piercing boutique dedicated to piercing children and teenagers. Located in Old Town Spring, this studio is said to be recommended by pediatricians and dermatologists and only performs needle piercings for minimal tissue damage. To minimize the chances of allergic reaction, titanium jewelry is the only option for initial piercings. Proof of TDaP vaccine is required for babies under 1 year old.

4. Snip-its – Rice Village and Memorial

Though it may seem unexpected, this kids’ hair salon is a great place to get your child’s ears pierced! The procedure is quick and safe, minimizing discomfort and distress and maximizing the excitement. When your kiddo gets their ears pierced at Snip-its, they get a Starter Kit that has everything you need, from hypoallergenic earrings in stainless steel or 14k gold to cleaning solution, a keepsake certificate, and aftercare instructions.
