    New celeb-approved ear piercing boutique needles into West Village for Dallas debut

    Stephanie Allmon Merry

    Bopping to the mall with your girlfriends for a hand-holding, group-ear piercing session followed by warm Cinnabon comfort is so last century. Chic new piercing studios like Studs - debuting in Dallas' West Village on April 26 - take a more modern approach to the body-altering procedure.

    "Studs has reimagined the antiquated ear piercing experience for new generations," says a release. "Their trained piercing experts use needles (never piercing guns!), allowing for better precision, safety, and healing."

    The brand also touts itself as the authority on "earscaping" (which they capitalize and trademark-symbol in the release), the process of "stacking" several piercings up and down the ear.

    "Their knowledgeable and skilled piercing experts offer personalized consultations, advising on the best piercing placement and earrings for your unique ear anatomy and style," they say.

    Launched by co-founders Anna Harman and Lisa Bubbers in late 2019 (even before COVID brought health and safety concerns to the forefront of the beauty industry), Studs now has 18 studios nationwide and four in Texas. West Village is its first venture into Dallas-Fort Worth, after two locations in Austin and one in Houston. They clearly know where the piercing action is.

    Studs co-founders Anna Harman and Lisa Bubbers have opened their 18th location in Dallas' West Village.

    "When choosing a new location, Studs looks for cities with large Gen Z and millennial populations and shopping areas with strong foot traffic from locals and tourists and proximity to trendy and popular restaurants, hotels, coffee shops and boutiques," the founders say in the release. "Opening a new studio in the West Village shopping center was a no-brainer."

    Their goal, the founders say, is to connect ear piercing with aftercare and earring shopping in a cool, fun, safe, and welcoming environment - without exorbitant prices. Piercing costs are as follows:

    • 1 Piercing is $35 + the cost of jewelry
    • 2 Piercings are $50 + the cost of two pieces jewelry

    Besides offering piercings in a more clinical setting, Studs offers an assortment of affordable, on-trend earrings for purchase. They're sold as singles or pairs, made of high-quality materials, and prices range from $10-$160, they say.

    Best-sellers include playful novelty earrings like a cowboy boot huggie ($28), cowboy hat huggie ($28), and Y’ALL stud ($22).

    Piercing checkups, piercing jewelry changes, and flatback downsizing are also offered.

    In just a few short years, Studs says, it has quickly become a favorite piercing destination for Gen Z and millennial crowds and celebrities, including Kaia Gerber, Emma Chamberlain, Dixie D’Amelio, and Rosalia.

    Studs follows the opening of another dedicated ear piercing studio-jewelry boutique, Wildlike, which debuted at Dallas’ Shops of Highland Park in summer of 2021.

    The new Studs, West Village, is located at 3699 McKinney Ave # 102, Dallas. Hours are 11am-7pm Monday-Sunday.

    A giant mixed-use development in the Knox Street neighborhood that will include a hotel, office, residential, restaurants, and retail has revealed the first four stores moving in, and three are making their Texas debut: lifestyle brands Doen, Staud, and Toteme. TWP, which has a location at Highland Park Village, will also open up shop at Knox Street.

    “After years of strategic planning and forging incredible partnerships, we are collaborating with the best brands and teams across every industry to create a truly distinct vision for world-class shopping, dining, hospitality, and residential living,” says Sabrina Gleizer, partner, BDT & MSD Partners, in the release.

    The project is a joint venture partnership of MSD Partners, Trammell Crow Company, The Retail Connection, and Highland Park Village Associates. It sits on a four-acre site adjacent to the Katy Trail and is expected to open in 2026.

    Upon completion, it will total one million square feet of mixed-use space, including a hotel managed by the Auberge Resorts Collection.

    “We’re extremely excited to bring such a dynamic collection of prominent brands, with both global and local prestige, to Knox Street,” says Stephen Summers, head of retail leasing for Knox Street, in the release.

    Without further delay, here are descriptions of all four retailers coming to Knox Street, as described, in full, in the release (including the all-CAPS style):

    DÔEN
    "Launched in 2016 and founded by Santa Barbara-born sisters, Margaret and Katherine Kleveland, and a Collective of partners, DÔEN is a digitally-led, multi-channel fashion and lifestyle brand. Their mission is to create lasting, beautiful collections while supporting individuals in all aspects of their organization, supply chain, and community. The collections celebrate womanhood, thoughtfully designed for women and the bustling, busy, and beautiful lives they live in their clothes. The pieces are meticulously crafted to be passed on for generations, evoking a timeless whimsy and an unapologetic femininity. The brand works with domestic and international partners who share their values and commitment to gender and social equality as well as giving back by partnering with foundations that directly benefit their employees and surrounding communities. DÔEN’s current shops include Brentwood Country Mart, Montecito Country Mart, Lido Marina Village and Marin Country Mart in California, in addition to locations in New York City, Sag Harbor and Nantucket."

    STAUD
    "In 2015, Sarah “Staud” Staudinger and George Augusto co-founded the LA-based lifestyle brand STAUD upon the idea that fashion shouldn’t just empower women – it should be accessible, too. At the heart of STAUD is design. Crafted at the intersection of timeless classics and perfect novelty, STAUD offers a collection of clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories to the modern woman who appreciates both. Current locations include Los Angeles, New York, Palm Beach, Boston, East Hampton, Nantucket, Georgetown, and a pop-up at MARKET in Highland Park Village."

    TOTEME
    "TOTEME is a fashion house rooted in Swedish sensibilities, modern aspirations and the notion of style. With an appreciation for women’s many roles and how pieces are worn in practice, TOTEME crafts emblematic designs with an emphasis on materiality and shape. Archetype pieces are examined through a female lens and realized with sumptuous fabrics, rich textures and graphic silhouettes. Representing a direct and decisive way of dressing, the collections are contextualized in curated edits, visuals and spaces. TOTEME was founded in 2014 by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman. From its atelier in Stockholm, the house creates ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, accessories and jewelry. TOTEME currently has store locations in New York City, Los Angeles, and Aspen."

    TWP
    "Trish Wescoat Pound has spent a lifetime dedicated to designing clothes for Women. Trish founded TWP to offer her own take on American sportswear; effortless, unbound, understated pieces that complement the reality of women’s lives. Raised in Oklahoma, although undoubtedly a New Yorker at heart, she blends the utilitarian spirit of the American Midwest with a metropolitan sensibility. Each season draws upon Trish’s core influences: American heritage workwear, men’s inspired shirting and tailoring, and the brand’s home, New York City. Working with her daughter, Jillian, a stylist, the duo leads the creative across the brand. This intergenerational dialogue – of relevance and wisdom – is a strong source of inspiration to all of Trish’s collections. TWP currently hosts a space in Highland Park Village, in addition to three stores in New York, a boutique in Palm Beach, West Hollywood, and Aspen."
