Safe, Stylish, Professional Piercing
AMMO Hair and Beauty in Maclean offers nose and ear piercings carried out with the same precision we bring to every salon service. Before any equipment is unwrapped, we discuss placement, jewellery style and healing expectations in plain language.
Single-use, medical-grade cartridges create swift, accurate piercings while reducing skin trauma, and every surface is sanitised between clients. Whether you’re adding a second lobe stud, curating a full ear stack or choosing a subtle nose stud, the process is calm and paced to your comfort.
Our team explains aftercare clearly, covering cleaning routines, sleeping tips and jewellery changes so healing stays on track. A curated range of hypoallergenic studs and rings lets you leave fully set up for the weeks ahead.
Even nervous first-timers typically find the environment supportive and unrushed. If you value precision, cleanliness and friendly guidance, book an appointment that puts safety and style first.

Focused on smooth healing
Successful healing relies on quality technique, the right jewellery and clear follow-up. We guide you through each stage so your new piercing settles comfortably and keeps looking good.
- Placement Advice: Anatomy is measured to select angles that suit your ear or nose shape.
- Sterile Technique: Single-use cartridges and hospital-grade disinfectants protect skin health.
- Jewellery Quality: All starter pieces are selected for safety, comfort and compatibility with new piercings.
- Aftercare Routine: Simple daily cleaning instructions and product suggestions provided.
- Check-In Support: Drop-in assessment available if you notice unusual redness or discomfort.
Healing timelines vary, but most lobe and nostril piercings feel settled within six to eight weeks when aftercare is consistent. When you’re ready to switch jewellery, drop by for a quick check to confirm channels are fully sealed.
At AMMO Hair and Beauty, we make sure our advice follows the current industry hygiene standards. Reserve your session online and experience piercing expertise delivered with professional calm.
How long before I can change my jewellery?
Timing depends on placement, personal healing rate and adherence to aftercare, but most lobe piercings need six to eight weeks before safe jewellery changes, while cartilage and nose sites can take three to four months. The channel must be fully sealed and free of tenderness before swapping pieces.
When you do change jewellery, choose implant-grade titanium or surgical steel and sanitise it thoroughly. If there is any resistance or irritation, reinsert the starter stud and consult a professional.
Does a piercing hurt? How is discomfort managed?
It is normal to feel a quick, sharp pinch followed by warm pressure that subsides within seconds. Professional equipment delivers the needle or cartridge swiftly, reducing tissue trauma and limiting pain duration. Breathing techniques and a calm explanation can help relax muscles beforehand.
After the piercing, mild throbbing can occur for a few hours; a cool compress and over-the-counter analgesics usually ease this. Persistent swelling, redness or heat may warrant a check-in with a qualified piercer.
What types of jewellery are best for healing?
The best jewellery for initial piercings is smooth, non-reactive and free from surface coatings that can flake or irritate the skin. High-quality materials like medical-grade stainless steel, titanium, niobium or solid gold are commonly recommended by professionals.
The design should allow space for slight swelling and be easy to clean during healing. Avoid costume jewellery, plated metals or anything with rough edges until the piercing has fully settled to reduce the risk of irritation or delayed healing.
