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 youโre 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.
Essential Beautyโs 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 tipโฆ 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 youโve had anywhere in your cartilage pierced, like your conch or helix, you can expect it to take a year to heal.

Questions
Have questions? We have the answers on all things waxing, piercing, eyebrows & beauty!
Waxing is a safe and efficient way to remove all the hairs you can see, and the fine hairs you canโt 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.
Yes! At Essential Beauty, our piercing prices include high-polish implant grade surgical steel jewellery from our standard design range. Our surgical steel jewellery is hypoallergenic and great for initial piercings. Jewellery upgrades are available and include custom flat back labret designs, rings and more. Our jewellery upgrade options include titanium, nickel-free cobalt chrome, Bioplast, 18ct gold and 24ct gold PVD, rose gold PVD or black PVD
We strictly pierce with our autoclave sterilised jewellery.
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.

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!
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.
