Listen Later

From an 80-square-foot room to three thriving locations, Lindsey and Hailey of Groovy Peach Piercing Co share how they built a modern, family-friendly piercing studio that’s changing the industry in Utah. In this episode of the Where To Get Started Podcast, they reveal how a single nose piercing turned into a $2M+ bootstrapped business focused on safety, training, and unforgettable client experiences.


They break down the realities of the piercing industry, from minimal regulation and questionable “certification” courses to what it really takes to deliver safe, high-quality piercings at scale. You’ll learn how they designed a welcoming, kid-friendly studio vibe, built a rigorous in-house apprenticeship program instead of relying on quick 3-day trainings, and used simple but powerful systems (like Kanban inventory) to handle growth across multiple locations. If you’ve ever wondered how to start a piercing studio—or any service-based, brick-and-mortar business—this conversation is a practical, honest roadmap.


Why the piercing industry is far less regulated than most people realize—and how Groovy Peach sets a higher standard anyway.

How Lindsey and Hailey bootstrapped Groovy Peach Piercing Co to multi-location, seven-figure revenue with no outside investors.

The paid, structured apprenticeship model they created to replace expensive, low-value “crash course” trainings.

How they turn a first piercing (especially for kids) into a core memory through intentional, high-touch client experience.
