Our goal is to provide safe, high quality piercings and a positive experience for every client. The policies below help ensure clear expectation and fairness.

Placement Concerns:
If you believe your piercing placement may be incorrect, you must contact Lulu Ave within 2 weeks of your initial piercing date.
Our team will review the placement to determine whether a studio error occurred. If placement is confirmed to be incorrect, clients may choose one of the following:
- Free re-piercing by a different piercer.
- Refund of the piercing service fee.
All jewelry purchases during initial piercings are non-refundable.
Healing Disclaimer:
Every body heals differently. Healing outcomes depend on many factors including:
- Anatomy
- Lifestyle
- Client Aftercare
- Irritation or Trauma
Because of these variables, healing outcomes cannot be guaranteed, and irritation or healing complications do not qualify for refunds as this is the clients aftercare responsibility.
Jewelry Downsizing/Upsizing:
Downsizing or Upsizing jewelry is included in your original piercing service fee when using Lulu Ave jewelry purchased in-studio at the time of your piercing.
Clients may return during the healing process for any piercings that require/need downsizing/upsizing at no additional service cost.
Jewelry Falling Out:
If jewelry accidentally falls out within 2 weeks of receiving your initial piercing, please contact us within that time period and we will re-pierce the area if necessary or re-insert the jewelry free of charge. You must still have the original full jewelry piece.
If jewelry is intentionally removed without contacting us first for any reason, a new piercing service fee will apply for any re-piercing needs.
Outside Jewelry:
For sanitary and safety purposes, we only perform initial piercings with pre-sterilized Lulu Ave jewelry in-store. No outside jewelry may be used for new piercings. Lulu Ave online jewelry purchases also cannot be used for initial piercings as sizing differs and it is not properly sanitized for initial piercings.
If a client brings in outside jewelry for a simple Jewelry Change or Downsize the following will apply:
- $15 Jewelry Change service fee
- $15 backing/post fee, if compatible
If the outside jewelry is incompatible with our backings, we may decline the service or suggest one of our jewelry pieces.
Outside Piercings:
If a piercing was performed at another studio, Lulu Ave cannot assume responsibility for the placement or healing. However, our team is happy to offer any guidance and solutions whenever possible.
Placement Approval Policy:
Before performing any piercing, the piercer will mark the placement and show it to the client in the mirror.
Clients must confirm they approve the placement before the piercing is performed.
By approving placement, the client acknowledges they are satisfied with the position and understand that overall anatomy, healing, and correct/incorrect usage of aftercare instructions may affect final appearance.
Jewelry Fit Disclaimer:
Jewelry sizes such as hoops, posts, and barbells are selected based on professional recommendations and standard sizing.
Because anatomy varies from person to person, the way jewelry fits may differ.
Clients must approve their jewelry selection before piercing or purchase.
If sizing adjustments are needed, our team is happy to assist within the appropriate policy guidelines.
