Price Changes
No Price Hikes – We’ve Kept Fees Frozen Since Pre‑COVID 🛠️
We’re proud to share that we haven’t increased our piercing fees since before the COVID‑19 pandemic. And we’re not planning to anytime soon. In fact, despite sharply rising costs across everyday life, we’re freezing our prices for another year. Here’s why this matters more than ever:
🔺 Inflation on the Rise
Today (16 July 2025), the Office for National Statistics reported that UK inflation climbed to 3.6% in June, the highest rate in 18 months. This increase is driven by rising food, transport, and fuel prices.
🥖 From Bread to Bills – A Brief Reality Check
- Bread prices have steadily increased. In early 2020, inflation on basic goods like bread was around 2-3%. Today, food inflation sits at 4.5% annually.
- Household electricity and gas bills have also surged. In 2020, the average dual-fuel domestic energy bill was much lower than it is today. As of April 2025, energy prices are up 6.7%, and water and sewage bills have risen by 26.1% year-over-year.
💪 What This Means for You – And Why We’re Acting
Amid this pressure on household finances, Flux continues to stand by our values.
- Piercing fees remain unchanged since before 2020.
- We’re committing to keep them frozen for another full year.
🌟 How We’re Able to Do This
- Operational resilience. We manage our studio smartly, without unnecessary overhead or passing costs onto our clients.
- Loyalty to our community. Your continued trust and support matter deeply to us.
- Core values. Integrity and respect guide everything we do – from hygiene and safety to fair pricing and high-quality jewellery.
🧭 In Summary
