The team at Vanity Ottawa are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Fortunately, they also had exactly what I was looking for as far as jewelry, and I even had the opportunity to consult Alex on piercings I want to acquire in the future. In fact, I am writing this before booking my next appointment.

I had an incredible experience at vanity. My piercer (I'm sorry I didn't catch their name) was so calm, knowledgeable, and sensitive to my worries regarding a stubborn piercing I had gotten elsewhere. They listened and together we came up with the best plan of action for me and my body. The environment is clean and inviting as well as LGBTQ2IA+ friendly. It lacks the intimidating atmosphere I've experienced getting piercings in tattoo studios previously. I will definitely only be going to Vanity for piercings from here on out!

I had Kyle pierce my septum. I was extremely nervous but had the best experience. Kyle was very patient, super informative and transparent with every step. The piercing placement was also perfect! Could not recommend him enough for piercings.

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.

Vanity offered fantastic service from beginning to end, you could not find a more calm and welcoming environment for a piercing. My piercing was done by Charlotte, who eased any worries I had, made me feel comfortable and confident, and answered all questions. I have many piercings and this was the first done at Vanity, I can feel the difference in healing even one day later. I can’t imagine going anywhere else now!

Very professional and friendly staff with lots of great options for jewelry. I went in for my first piercings (lobes) and my piercer Alex was very nice and fun to talk to. He took great care in the placement of my piercings to make sure they looked great and was fast with the actual piercing to minimize pain.

Keri has been amazing throughout our experience with my daughter's helix piercing. While, in the end, we had to get it taken out, Keri was very knowledgeable and supportive. We will definitely return to her for future piercings.

I had a piercing appointment with Carnie and they were absolutely brilliant. I have 12 other piercings and this was truly my best experience by far. They were very competent and knowledgable in presenting all information surrounding my piercings. This included talking me through the entire process as they were going so that I knew not only what they were doing but why they were doing it as well. Additionally they were very caring and considerate in dealing with the discomfort from the piercing itself. I would highly recommend Vanity as they are a refreshing and professional business

Carnie was very kind, explained everything thoroughly, told me exactly what was going as it was going on and my 4 piercings went so smoothly! I am very happy with my piercing experience. The jewellery selection is amazing and the pieces are just so beautiful.

Amazing, kind and informative service. Usually I would be nervous getting piercings but the amazing woman who did my piercing talked me through everything, distracted me and gave me a beautiful helix!

Kyle's studio is conveniently located in Hintonburg. Kyle is meticulous in what he does. He answered all my questions about my piercing and I was in and out in no time.

I can’t recommend Kyle enough. This was my first experience with him and I would definitely go back again in the future. I went to have my nipples re-pierced and Kyle did an amazing job explaining the process and the aftercare. His attention to detail, especially for the placement/avoiding the scar tissue from the old piercings, was incredible and he ensured that I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. Absolutely thrilled with how they turned out!

I’ve been seeing Kyle for a couple of years now and have had multiple appointments for piercings, upgrades, and jewelry changes. His studio is always 100% clean and he is hands down the most professional piercer I’ve ever met! Kyle is such a good human and makes every appointment comfortable and relaxed. I love his quality of jewelry and how he chats with you about your style, ideas and just life🤍. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reputable peircer in Ottawa 🫶

Kyle's so gentle with my piercing. Best in Ottawa

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.

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's professionalism and friendly nature made for a great experience! I highly recommend him for piercings, and I'm sure he's a wonderful tattoo artist too 😊

Kyle is absolutely amazing! He’s very thorough and explains not only what to do for aftercare, but also why. I got my 11th and 12th piercings yesterday with Kyle and it was by far my best experience! If you’re looking at getting a piercing, especially if it’s your first and you’re nervous, Kyle is your guy!

I had a great experience with Kyle! He was super knowledgeable about piercings and kept me informed during the entire process. I had a great time and love my new piercing. Overall, 10/10.

I had a microdermal removed and a jewellery change on another piercing. He was very gentle with the dermal removal and it was much less painful than I had anticipated. Would highly recommend Kyle!

Kyle is very clear, lets you know just what to expect. He is very careful & considerate. I highly recommend him for your next piercing. Couldn't be happier!

Kyle is professional, courteous and friendly, and thorough with all procedures and health measures. He truly is looking out for your best interest in managing your piercing(s).
