Getting your child’s ears pierced is such an exciting milestone — one that deserves a calm, happy, and tear-free experience! At Pigtails & Crewcuts – Augusta Road, we make ear piercing fun, comfortable, and safe for kids of all ages. Our stylists are gentle, patient, and trained to make every moment special — so your child walks out smiling (and sparkling!).
To help you prepare for the big day, here’s a simple checklist to make the experience smooth from start to finish.
Before You Come In
A little prep helps your child feel confident and calm.
Book your appointment – Appointments are recommended for ear piercings at our Augusta Road location so we can give your child one-on-one attention without any wait.
Talk about it ahead of time – Explain what to expect in easy, positive words: “You’ll feel a tiny pinch, and then you’ll have beautiful earrings!”
Pick the right time of day – A well-rested, recently fed child will always have a better experience. Avoid nap times or right before mealtime when little ones might be tired or cranky.
What to Bring
Pack these little things to make the day extra smooth:
A favorite comfort item – A stuffed animal, small toy, or blanket can help your child feel secure.
A snack or drink – Something special to enjoy afterward (because new earrings deserve a little celebration!).
Hair tie or clip – Keeping hair pulled back makes it easier for our stylist to work safely and quickly.
Parent or guardian ID – We’ll need a valid ID for the accompanying adult and sometimes proof of age for your child.
Your phone or camera – You’ll want to capture that first proud, sparkly-earring smile!
What to Expect at Pigtails & Crewcuts Augusta Road
From the moment you arrive, our team will walk your child through each step so they know exactly what’s happening. We use professional, hygienic, single-use equipment and hypoallergenic, high-quality earrings designed for sensitive ears.
The piercing itself is quick — most kids say, “That’s it?!” — and then it’s all smiles, high-fives, and maybe a sticker or lollipop from our front desk.
Simple Aftercare Steps
We’ll send you home with clear aftercare instructions and the supplies you need to keep those new piercings clean and healthy. Our Augusta Road team is always here if you have any questions or want a quick check-in to make sure everything’s healing perfectly.
Make It a Milestone to Remember
Many families turn piercing day into a fun mini celebration — maybe a trip for ice cream, a matching pair of earrings for mom, or a cute “first earrings” photo at our salon. Whatever you choose, we love being part of these special moments.
