Liquid Jewels Piercing Studio — Local services in Reston

The studio is conveniently located right by Lake Anne Plaza in Reston, next to the Lake Anne Coffee House.

About 9 weeks ago, we had a truly wonderful experience here with Jesse. He is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. I’m not usually into piercings myself, but I was searching for a place I could trust to handle my teenager’s first ear piercing. Initially, I was leaning toward franchise that cater to younger clients with basic ear lobe piercings. This studio looked far more professional, and I wasn’t sure if a simple lobe piercing would even be welcomed—but I’m so glad we came.

Jesse took the time to explain the entire process to my teen and handed me a clear pricing sheet—everything was transparent and upfront, with no surprises. I had done some research beforehand, and their pricing was far more simple, right in line with other shops in the DMV. When it came time to choose jewelry, Jesse waited patiently for my daughter’s approval before moving forward. That moment of respect and attentiveness really stood out to me. I felt confident that he had her best interest at heart.

Even though ear lobe piercings are relatively straightforward, Jesse didn’t treat it as routine. He carefully discussed the placement and made sure everything was just right. The actual piercing was quick and smooth, and he took time afterward to explain how to care for it—how to keep it clean, when to change the jewelry, and what to do if any issues came up.

Everything went well until a few days ago, when my teen accidentally irritated her ear while pulling off her hoodie. As I was helping clean the area, the earring fell out and I couldn’t get it back in, so we went back to the studio. We checked online to confirm the studio was open and walked in without an appointment. Jesse greeted us right away, understood the situation immediately, put on fresh gloves, and gently popped the earring back in. He reassured us, explained what to watch for over the next couple of weeks, and invited us to return if needed. The entire visit took less than 10 minutes and was just as pleasant as the first.

We’re so grateful for Jesse’s care and professionalism. I honestly don’t know how to thank him other than to make sure everyone knows about this studio and the amazing experience we had....

Based on the reviews, I thought this was going to be a positive experience, but unfortunately I left the shop very disappointed and without a piercing. I wanted to get a faux snug piercing. The piercer/owner didn’t know what a faux-snug was initially, and instead of inquiring what it is, he made a face, laughed at me, and responded in a very condescending and unprofessional manner. I admit that I may not have used the proper terminology, but this is why I was seeking the services of a professional. I’ll also acknowledge that this is a slightly unusual piercing. It is actually two piercings done in a way to mimic a snug piercing. But his response made me feel like I had completely made it up or something, and he basically made me feel stupid because he didn’t know what it was. The situation was worsened when two women behind us felt inclined to laugh along which made me feel super embarrassed and belittled. Needless to say, I left and I definitely will not be returning. Thankfully, Lucy at the Body Gallery was able to do the piercing. She not only knew what I was talking about, but she was super informative, nice and welcoming and I had a great experience with her.

Peace and...

We had a wonderful experience with Jesse. He is so friendly and relaxed. My 10 year old wanted her ears pierced a few months ago, but was a little hesitant. We popped in one day to talk and see the process, and he made her feel so at ease- we did it that day ! He empowered to make her own decision in the process, taking time and making sure she was ready and stressed it was HER decision, not mine, his or anyone else’s . He moved slowly and patiently and it was a quick easy process that gave my daughter confidence in herself and I think helped her love her new ears even more! It’s a cool safe space to be calm with art and plants, and we didn’t feel rushed or pressured. He helped us understand how to keep them clean and healthy. We plan to go back for an upgraded erring set for her upcoming birthday. My son and daughter like to pop now in and say hello, trade stickers and get “v friends” from the vending machine. He’s always happy and pleased for a visit. He takes pride in his work and wants what is best for his clients. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone and will be back!...
