Alara's Four Distinct Age-based experiences
Littles, kids, teens, and adults have different ear piercing needs. Our approach allows for addressing those differences.
Below we discuss the four different age ranges we assign to our ear piercing offerings. Please read the details for each age group, and make your booking(s) according to age. All under-18 piercings require a parent or legal guardian to be present, and to sign liability release forms.
HINT: If you are trying to book two appointments back-to-back, please be advised our on-line scheduling system always books with a break in between piercings, to allow for cleaning and set-up. Book two appointments as close together as possible, and contact us to let us know if you would like the first appointment bumped later to meet the second one; or vice versa.
UNDER 5 YEARS OLD
You will notice we have fewer appointments available for littles, because we now use a two-piercer system with the under-five crowd!
We do require a non-refundable $25 additional payment for this service, which will be collected when you make your booking.
5 TO 15 YEARS OLD
Children under 10 are the most likely to experience anxiety about ear piercing, but any age can experience it.
If we have a second piercer available for the ear piercing appointment, you can pay an additional $25 fee to have both your child's ears pierced at once...but we cannot guarantee this option will be available.
16 OR 17 YEARS OLD
In addition to piercing lobes, we also offer cartilage piercings (outer helix only) to 16- and 17-year-olds--with parental permission only, of course!
The link below is for piercing either lobes or cartilage--additional steps in the booking process will parse out the details.
