48 hours prior:

• Do not take blood thinning medications such as Aspirin or Advil.

On the day:

• Make sure you are hydrated and have eaten a meal. Low blood sugar could cause you to feel faint.
• Do not drink alcohol, take elicit substances or consume caffeine (coffee, energy drinks).

Your experience:

Your Piercing Specialist is there to help you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your experience. Our experienced staff will help you choose jewellery from our extensive range. Our staff will also discuss the position of your piercing with you and mark the location of the piercing to ensure that you’re happy with its placement.

Safety and Hygiene:

Every Essential Beauty piercing is performed in a sterile and hygienic environment. Our salons undertake regular health inspections and are compliant with Government legislation regarding skin penetration. All piercing needles and disposable equipment are of single use, and all other equipment and body jewellery is autoclave sterilised prior to use.

Piercing Aftercare

Essential Beauty’s two Step Sterilear Piercing Spray system has been designed to aid in healing your new piercing. Our Sterilear aftercare sprays can also be used throughout the healing process to clean and care for your piercings.

Our best piercing aftercare tip… be patient and follow the advice of your piercer! Healing can take anywhere from 1-12 months (or even longer), so stick with your piercing aftercare plan. It also depends on the type of piercing, fleshy areas like the lobes will heal quickly in 1-2 months, but if you’ve had anywhere in your cartilage pierced, like your conch or helix, you can expect it to take a year to heal.

Weeks 1 & 2 after your piercing

Sterilear Step 1: Clean Piercing Spray

• Made for use in the initial stage of healing.
• Contains the optimal concentration of salts to promote healing.
• Sterile solution helps prevent bacteria from forming around the piercing.
• Helps to safely clean and wash away dried discharge, crust or secretions around the piercing.
• Non-irritating formula to help calm and heal the skin.
• Aseptic pump pack keeps the solution sterile.

Directions: Spray front and back twice a day, directly over the piercing and jewellery. Avoid eye contact. Not for oral use. External use only.

Weeks 3 & 4 after your piercing

Sterilear Step 2: Care Piercing Spray

• Enhanced formula enriched with aloe vera, lavender and vitamin E to soothe the skin and promote healing.
• Contains peppermint oil to provide anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties.
• Aseptic pump pack keeps the solution sterile.

Directions: Spray front and back twice a day, directly over the piercing and jewellery. Avoid eye contact. Not for oral use. External use only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We have the answers on all things waxing, piercing, eyebrows & beauty!

READ MORE FAQS Why choose waxing over other hair removal methods?

Waxing is a safe and efficient way to remove all the hairs you can see, and the fine hairs you can’t see! Waxing is suitable for all hair colours, thicknesses and skin types, making it suitable for everyone. Our Beauty Therapists are highly trained and experienced and will always ensure your salon experience is an enjoyable and positive one. Waxing also offers smooth skin with long lasting results. Your hair will grow back finer, which means that there is no irritation, itchiness or prickliness like you experience after shaving.

Mave the move! Start your waxing routine and journey today.

Is jewellery included in the price of the piercing? Yes! At Essential Beauty, every piercing includes a choice of 4, high-polish, implant-grade surgical steel jewellery for Ear Lobes, Helix, and Tragus piercings.  Our 4 gorgeous orb flat-back labrets come in classic Surgical Steel, or you can make a statement with Surgical Steel PVD Gold, Surgical Steel PVD Rose Gold, or sleek PVD Black Surgical Steel. Love variety? We also give you the option to choose from 2 metal types for pigtail nose studs, navel jewellery, banana bars, circular barbells, and straight barbells, from either our high polished Surgical Steel or luxurious PVD Gold Steel. All our Surgical Steel jewellery is hypoallergenic and ideal for initial piercings. If you have an occasion coming up, or you just don’t want to wait for the initial healing phase to have a piece of jewellery that matches your individual personality and style, you can choose to upgrade your jewellery from a wide selection of over 200 custom flat-back labret designs, rings and more. Upgrade options also include different metal types like Titanium, Nickel-free Cobalt Chrome, Bioplast, 18K gold, and 24K gold PVD, plus Rose Gold and Black PVD finishes. We strictly pierce with autoclave sterilised jewellery. At Essential Beauty, we let you have your piercing your way!

Interested in upgrading your jewellery? Read more here.

Do you offer waxing for men?

Yes! Our trained Beauty Therapists specialise in waxing for both men and women. Male hair can be thicker and denser in some areas, making them more prone to ingrown hairs. We highly recommend the use of Ingrostopper after all male waxing, to soften the follicle and gently exfoliate, reducing the risk of ingrown hairs.

Book your next appointment online or give your local salon a call/visit to learn more.

What are the benefits of face waxing?

Face waxing leaves your skin silky and smooth for 2-3 weeks! By removing thick, stubborn growth and all the fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz), it makes the perfect blank canvas for makeup. Waxing also removes all hairs from the root, causing the hair follicles to weaken over time, which eventually leads to less growth!  Facial waxing also assists in the absorption of skincare, as no product is left on the surface surrounding the hairs.

Some popular face waxing styles include the eyebrows, upper lip (moustache wax), chin, sideburns, forehead and more!

Read more about our face waxing services.

Can I bring in my own jewellery to get pierced?

We strictly pierce with autoclave sterilised jewellery; this is why we cannot pierce you with jewellery you already own and bring in. It is also impossible for us to determine the quality of the materials used in the jewellery, and therefore, it may not be safe for us to use your own jewellery for initial piercings.

We have a great range of jewellery upgrade options; we are confident you will find the perfect piece of jewellery for you! Learn more about our upgrade options here.
