Kyle really helped me through a tough situation with a foreign piercing I got done in India! It was a flat piercing and somehow the skin had grown overtop of the whole back of the earring. Kyle was very gentle and saved the whole earring and my piercing at the same time (we replaced it with one of the beautiful pieces he had!). This isn’t my first time with a piercing by Kyle so I knew I could trust him. I truly truly appreciate his work, dedication and professionalism and I will definitely recommend him to everyone :))))

Wonderful experience at Vanity Inc! My 13 year old daughter had her ears pierced by Manu, who was very patient and gentle. She explained every step before, and as she was doing, the piercing, which helped my daughter stay calm. And appreciate the pain was minimal! Would definitely recommend!!!

Kyle was very patient and knowledgeable about proper piercing practices. The form that you fill out is very extensive, but it's worth it. Has a good range of different jewelry that is safe to insert in your body (no surgical steel). He keeps digital records of the gauge, type, and guarantees the jewelry for life. I will be returning to him once my daith is more healed to switch to a slightly smaller ring in gold.

Charlotte was incredibly kind and knowledgeable! She definitely has her customer’s best interests at heart and was amazing in helping me decide which piercing was best for me based on anatomy, pricing and future piercings. She was very skillful in her technique and my piercing experience was a breeze!

Alex did a great job with my piercing. He was helpful with advice regarding which jewelry to pick and is comfortable with a variety of piercings, informed by years of experience.

I couldn't be happier. Charlotte helped me pick the piercing that worked best with my ear shape, and she made the process effortless. I'll be back for more!

It has been 46 years since my last piercing. I was apprehensive, but Manu walked me through everything and was very reassuring and professional. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

My twelve-year-old daughter and I had such a positive experience getting pierced by Charlotte! She was so warm and welcoming, and put both of us at ease right away. She was very thorough and precise when deciding where exactly to pierce us (lobes for kiddo, helix for me), working with our own unique anatomy while leaving the option open for future piercings. The actual procedure itself was so quick with minimal fuss. Thank you Charlotte and Vanity for such an empowering experience.

Charlotte was amazing! Her patience, kindness, and openness created a safe & comfortable space for me to ask questions and talk through different ideas, and her explanations made it clear she is beyond competent :) I was getting piercings to honour someone who has passed and she created an environment & experience that was perfect - THANK YOU!!

Alex was great! / Alex était super et il est bilingue :) He was calm and his instructions were very clear. He took the time to answer all my questions; I never felt rushed. I will definitely go back for future piercing and jewelry :)

I met with Keri and she helped me select my hardware upgrade. She was on time, professional and very thorough in her suggestions and care of my piercings and what was feasible. I had a wonderful experience start to finish, and i love the appointment only concept at Vanity, it not only results in a really tailored experience but it makes things really efficient and organized. Also their selection of jewelry is bar none, best i've seen in a long time for the Curated ear! Thank you!

Manu is such a wonderful piercer. She did my 11 year old daughter’s ears, my nostril and just added a gorgeous stacked lobe. She is so friendly, has great taste and makes you feel really at ease by letting you know every step of the process. I would 100% recommended her to anyone looking for a relaxed and thoughtful piercing atmosphere.

Love how knowledgeable Tine was when they were checking out my ears as I came in wanting a conch but due to anatomy; I came out with a daith. They're amazing and easy-going through the piercing process.

I had such an amazing first piercing with you guys. The atmosphere surround your store was so amazing and welcoming. When I did my research I chose your store for how professional it looked, and the story behind it. I was more then happy to find a piercing studio that was Indigenous and lgbtq+ owned/run! As someone who is a part of the LGBTQ+ community I felt very safe in my decision. Marie was my piercer, and was THE BEST piercer I could have ever asked for! She was kind, gentle, and walked me through every step of the way. I’ll be coming back whenever I decide on my next piercing for sure!

Super happy with my experience and absolutely love my new piercing! Kyle was amazing, he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, gave me detailed aftercare instructions, and put so much care into sterilizing. The studio itself is spotless, and his jewellery selection is nice. He was so patient while I chose what I wanted. This was my first visit, and he’s clearly both highly experienced and kind. I’d highly recommend seeing him!

Without a doubt, THE best experience for my mini to get her ears pierced. So clean and comfortable - I've been boasting to everyone that if they require piercing services, Body Piercings by Kyle is THE only place to trust!

Kyle is a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional. (With deft hands, to boot!) He made me feel at ease during the entire piercing process and I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone wanting to put a few more holes in their body.

Took my son to have his ear pierced. Kyle explained everything and made myself and my son feel at ease. Kyle took his time and went through the whole process. After we left, my son said "I really like that guy." That's high praise coming from a fourteen year old. I highly recommend Body Piercings by Kyle. Don't hesitate, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Kyle is smart and careful and respectful. I felt heard and well cared-for. He helped to adjust my jewelry choice to something healthy and better suited to my piercing.

Amazing experience ! I went with my mom and she was a little nervous with getting a couple ear piercings, and he made her feel super comfortable. I don’t know if she would have went through with it if it was anybody else. He’s very personable, funny guy! Very informative and I would highly recommend him for all piercings !

Kyle did a fantastic job piercing my daughters’ ears. He thoroughly explained every step of the piercing process, took great care with sanitizing and teaching the after care. He was professional, patient and kind throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend his services!!

An excellent experience from start to finish!!! Our daughter (14) was getting her navel pierced and Kyle was an absolute gem! A thorough explanation of the options, procedure, infection control and after care practices. It was an education for me as well (mom), and learned so much about the craft. He has excellent practices, and keeps the communication lines open afterwards in case you have any concerns or questions. Lovely demeanour and personality. Our daughter was put at ease, and all questions answered. I/ We would highly recommend Piercings by Kyle! Lisa & Chloe

Kyle was very friendly and expertly guided me through my first piercing. He was very thorough with sanitation, and was super clear with aftercare instructions. Super happy with the result!

A really good experience over all, it felt professional and caring. A couple points is that the info could be a bit overwhelming, I would've appreciated a bit less/more succinctness. Also I would've appreciated a warning for the piercing, something like "in the next minute, I'll be piercing your ear". A very positive experience overall, Kyle really knows his stuff and you can tell cares a lot about making it a good experience for the client.

I had a really great experience with Kyle. Highly recommend going to get your piercing services with him. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring.

Absolutely amazing. Made me less nervous and was so so patient with me even though it was a simpler piercing. He is soooo nice. I feel absolutely safe and comfortable going back to him for more piercings. And also made my mom feel part of the experience too which was really kind. Suuuuuuper communicative about sanitation, picking out jewelry, aftercare, every step in the process, etc. thank you, Kyle.
