Nose Piercing salons and stylists across the UK
What to expect from a nose piercing appointment
Nose piercing covers the nostril, septum, and bridge, with a needle in a professional studio and implant-grade titanium or gold jewellery. The piercer marks the placement at the consultation, talks through jewellery sizing and any tightening of the nostril over time, and works in a single sitting. The appointment takes about fifteen to twenty minutes. Aftercare uses a saline rinse two to three times daily for the first six to eight weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a nose piercing take to heal?
Nostril: three to six months. Septum: six to eight weeks. Bridge: eight to ten weeks. Healing varies by individual; follow the studio's saline-rinse routine throughout.
How much does a nose piercing cost?
In the UK, expect thirty to seventy pounds for the piercing including studio-grade jewellery. Premium gold or titanium pieces add to the total. Confirm at consultation.
Can I change my nose ring at any time?
Not during healing. Wait the full healing window (three to six months for nostril) before swapping out the initial piece. Premature changes risk losing the piercing or causing irritation.
Will a nose piercing be visible at work?
A small flat-back stud is barely visible from a distance. A septum piercing can be flipped up and hidden when needed (most septum jewellery has a discreet position). If your workplace has a strict policy, discuss the smallest jewellery option at consultation.
How do I change my nose jewellery once healed?
Wash your hands, soften the existing piece by warming, and gently swap to the new jewellery. Many piercers offer a free first-change appointment to show you the technique. Stick to implant-grade titanium or fourteen-karat-plus gold to avoid reactions.
