Very cool Is that triple white?
Want to achieve more youthful looking eyes and lips without going under the knife? Nano infusion therapy might be right for you!
Nano infusion therapy, also known as nano needling, is a virtually painless procedure that uses microscopic pyramid shaped needles that penetrate the epidermis, creating micro channels for your skincare ingredients to be EVEN MORE effective! Plus, this prompts your skin to boost collagen and elastin production, which means bye-bye to fine lines!
Book with Kai today to start your treatment regimen and reclaim your glow!

TOPIC OF THE DAY: piercing guns
Places like Claire’s and other places in a mall offer piercings with a gun.
Many people don’t know why this is bad so allow me to give you some information.
When you get a piercing with a gun, the “needle” is actually just a regular earring.
I’m sure most of you have some earrings lying around, this is the kind of post that piercing guns use.
If you look at them you’ll notice the back on it isn’t as sharp as it looks. They are pointed, but not nearly as sharp as a piercing needle.
The gun forces the earring through the tissue causing blunt force trauma to the area.
If used on cartilage for example it can completely shatter the cartilage which is not only painful but the damage can be permanent.😱
The “piercers” at places like this train for about 2 weeks, where as a professional trains for months and sometimes even years.
Standard needles, like the ones piercers use, have a scalpel like sharpness, that doesn’t damage the tissue.
Piercing needles are also hollow which removes part of the skin to make room for the jewelry.
This makes the process less painful and easier to heal.
If you’re looking to get a piercing it’s not only safer but less painful to go see a professional.

Scott and I still love our piercings from you!!! ❤️❤️
Makes perfect sense!
I had my cartilage pierced over 2 decades ago with a gun before I knew better. Still have issues with it. If I let it heal can I get it re-pierced? Wondering what you would recommend.
Wish i could take back having my oldest daughters done at claires. (My mother insisted she get it done there) Ever since then, she cannot wear regular earrings. I bought some plastic ones that work better, but they break easily
Some tattoo shops in TC are starting to use the gun for ear piercings and nose piercings and it makes ZERO sense. They honestly should be banned.
Also five below is doing the abuse as well kinda messed up not just clairs
