Exciting New Piercing Studio Opening in Belmont Shore!
Residents of Belmont Shore, get ready for some fabulous news! Lulu Ave, a charming family-owned piercing studio and jewelry store, is about to make its grand entrance on the bustling Second Street. After nearly a decade of delighting customers at its previous location in Westminster Mall, Lulu Ave decided it was time for a change. Owner Johnny Basmajian is thrilled to become part of the Belmont Shore community, feeling that it aligns perfectly with the brand’s vibrant personality.
A Brief Journey of Lulu Ave
Lulu Ave has quite a legacy! The studio originally got its start back in 2001 in Norwalk, thanks to Basmajian’s parents. Fast forward to 2015, and the reins were handed over to Johnny, who has worked tirelessly to maintain the high-quality standards that the brand is known for. However, with the decline of foot traffic in malls, the decision was made to relocate and embrace new opportunities in a lively neighborhood.
What to Expect at Lulu Ave
If you’re a fan of unique ear styling and top-notch piercings, then Lulu Ave is the perfect spot for you! The studio emphasizes the use of 14k gold and implant-grade titanium jewelry—because we all deserve quality when it comes to our body art. Whether you’re looking to get your first piercing or you want to curate an eye-catching ear stack, the talented team at Lulu Ave is ready to help you achieve your dream look. While walk-ins are always welcome, it’s advisable to book an appointment, especially for weekends and specific time slots.
