Cherry

Introducing Cherry, the owner and founder of Cherrycore.
In 2011 Cherrycore was opened, and within 3 short years, a new store location and a bigger dream was born!
This is the Cherrycore we love and share with you today. With luxury service and quality in mind, Cherry dreamed of creating a space that allowed clients to experience body piercing and wearing body jewellery like never before.
Personally, she felt that after starting her career in 2003, the days of body piercing being reserved for the alternative subcultures had passed, and it was time for a new age of inclusivity.
Since starting her career in 2003, Cherry has worked hard to further develop her skills and knowledge, striving for perfection to deliver the most up to date techniques for flawless results in all her fields of expertise.
By undertaking further education in adjoining career paths, her skill set ranges from hair dressing and beauty therapy, to advanced aesthetician practices, wound management and scar care, right across to jewellery designing and crafting. 
Cherry's favourite piercings are anything relating to the ears; but her top favourites to perform are conch piercings, earlobes and helix piercings. She loves the timelessness of these piercings and the perfect amount of sass and confidence that they give her clients when they see their new adornments.



Bianca

We are delighted and excited to have Bianca, on our team.
Starting with Cherrycore in April 2022 as a piercing stylist, Bianca has blown us away with her excitement for fine jewellery and body piercing coupled with her dedication to customer services and piercing skills. 
Bianca rapidly become known as the go-to for styling large scale ear projects by creating visual mapping for clients to see their dreams in reality. 
Her role may have started as a stylist, but there was no stopping Bianca from quickly blossoming in to larger roles. 
She definitely serves BOSS energy!
Bianca brings a range of impressive qualities to the Cherrycore team. 
Not only is she a ball of excitement and positivity, Bianca has also enjoyed her career path through various roles in; customer care, fashion, retail, tattoo and body jewellery, which of course makes her the perfect fit for Cherrycore.
 
Bianca believes in continuously learning and further growing her skills as a piercer. Bianca is constantly learning through many resources and this has led to completing additional training in Bloodborne Pathogens, Cross Contamination Prevention, Piercing theory, Jewellery and Gemstones. 
This assures you when it comes to hygienic care and quality, Bianca shares our same passion for safety, best practice and quality.
Bianca does have a soft spot for Daith, nostril and Helix/Flat Piercings, which she does have a natural flair for, but if you asked Bianca to categorise her personal curating style, she simply couldn’t, as she loves every thing from edgy to elegant, making her a power-house at styling for each individual’s style rather than just her own. 
Regardless of if you are thinking that you love the idea of smooth snug rings, a hint of sparkle or a piece that makes you the envy of the ball, you will definitely love your styling appointment with Bianca, just as much as we love having her on our team.

 

 

Eve

Meet Evie; Evie is now part of our back of house crew, and while some clients may remember Evie from her previous roles at Cherrycore over the past 6 years; her role is now predominately focused on back-of-house administration and management.
Cherrycore is where Evie first started her working career and with her experience with us over the past 6 years, she keeps things moving perfectly for the rest of the lead piercing team.
In the future, we are sure you will see more of Evie as her role grows into new directions including customer care. After all, if you have ever met her, you already know that she is way too fabulous to be kept out the back! We know she is going to take over our front reception and be an amazing stylist as she continues to grow her knowledge on jewellery; which of course she is already obsessed with.

Cathy

Introducing our newest team member Cathy.
We are very lucky to have snagged Cathy up! Cathy has been a client of ours for many years now and it was at an appointment that we found out she was looking to leave her then current job as a Liaison Officer, and looking for work with more flexibility to allow more time with her family; which was absolutely perfect for us! 
We are very pleased and proud to say that Cathy is our new Procedure Coordinator. Her role will include assisting clients with pre-procedure preparation, procedure bookings and aftercare.
Cathy brings with her extensive experience over the course of 5 years in a HR position, and 12 years of experience as a Liaison Officer.
Her role with us will allow her to work predominantly remotely, without a stringent work schedule; thus giving her back more freedom with her family while assisting our beautiful clients throughout the day. It’s a win for the both of us, which makes it a win for our clients too.

 

Matthew

Matthew has been with us at Cherrycore for over a decade, starting back in 2012.
Not only is he an amazing piercer he is an amazing tattoo artist. And while over the last decade we have enjoyed having him in-store delivering the best of both worlds, the time has come for him to spread his wings.
2024 has been such an exciting time for Matthew as he has now opened his own tattoo studio in Belgrave, which is only a hop away from us.
Lost Woods Tattoo is a beautiful space delivering the same high standards that we at Cherrycore are known for. The utmost care and planning has gone into the creation of Lost Woods, and selecting the team of artists housed there, so it’s safe to say we know you’ll love it just as much as we do; should you have any further tattooing needs. As a tattoo artist, Matthew specialises in all things cute and colourful. He loves doing anything NeoTraditional, Nature or Nerdy! He began learning tattooing in 2014, and has since developed a unique style that incorporates clean lines and bright colours. Matthew studied a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts major) during his training, and finds inspiration for his work from nature, animals, pop-culture and traditional tattooing styles of art.'
As for piercing, Matthew is still one of our amazing Senior Body Piercers.
It's no secret Matthew especially loves using unique little pieces to accent a lavish show stopper in his styling projects. Creating balance and harmony that allows your eye to flow from one piece to the next with more space given to the highlight of the show.
While Matthew loves offering all body piercing services, he is most renowned for his perfectly placed septum and daith piercings. His work has also been featured in septum piercing specialist classes at the 2019 APP Conference.
Matthew not only is an important team member due to his piercing skills, he also plays many highly important roles behind the scenes that clients don’t know about.
He has personally designed our website, our paperless and contactless consent form systems, our new QR Codes and puts his love and care in to all of our online orders and in-store custom orders. He is always striving to provide the smoothest and most enjoyable shopping experience with Cherrycore. His passion and dedication to customer satisfaction is simply second nature to him, making it highly understandable why he is known for his friendly character and professionalism.
So it's not "good-bye" to Matthew, its simply a "see you during select hours for booked appointments only."
