Rowan Piercing opens at Lakeside Shopping Center

Rowan Piercing opens at Lakeside Shopping Center. * Rowan Piercing opens Oct. 11 at Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie. * All piercings performed by licensed nurses using medical-grade methods. * Studio offers hypoallergenic jewelry made from gold, titanium, and stainless steel. * Opening aligns with Lakeside's retail expansion featuring top lifestyle brands. A nurse-led ear piercing studio offering a medical-grade approach to body jewelry has opened at Lakeside Shopping Center. After being announced in July, Rowan Piercing officially opened October 11 in the Restoration Hardware wing of the Metairie mall, expanding the center's growing lineup of fashion and wellness brands. The New York-based company, founded and led by women, is known for performing ear piercings exclusively by licensed nurses using hand-pressurized devices or single-use hollow needles - never piercing guns. The company emphasizes safety and precision through its proprietary Clinical Piercing Standard and uses only hypoallergenic materials such as 14k gold, titanium, and surgical-grade stainless steel. "Rowan's unique blend of safety, style, and celebration creates a one-of-a-kind experience that we know our guests will love," said Lisa Manzella, general manager of Lakeside Shopping Center. The addition of Rowan comes as Lakeside continues to expand its retail offerings. The shopping center recently welcomed brands such as Alo, Mango, and Garage. Anthropologie and Vuori are set to open later in 2025, part of Lakeside's broader push to introduce in-demand lifestyle and wellness concepts to the Greater New Orleans market. Rowan operates studios across the U.S. and markets itself as a safe, celebratory destination for first-time piercings and milestone moments. Backed by a medical advisory board, the brand has positioned itself as a health-conscious alternative to traditional mall piercing options, offering jewelry designed in-house to minimize irritation and promote healing. Lakeside Shopping Center, Louisiana's largest retail destination, spans 1.2 million square feet and features more than 100 stores, including anchors Dillard's, Macy's, and J.C. Penney. The center serves shoppers across the New Orleans area and Gulf Coast region. More information about Lakeside Shopping Center is available at www.LakesideShopping.com.
