    Numbing cream
    Thalia F.

    After almost 2 months this is my updated review: The "starter" earrings my daughters got completely tarnished in the back. The main post of the earrings maybe be surgical steel but the screw on backs definitely are not or are plated maybe. In retrospect, this location is severely overpriced. Not for the service but for the products. The service was still great; however I think the pricing for the earrings (now that I know better and have done more appropriate research) is way too expensive. On 2 children our total was over $400. For a place charging this much, you'd think the response rate would be great but it's near impossible to talk to someone and that chat not close your correspondence.

    Cleo did a wonderful job piercing my 3 month old baby's ears. She did everything very precisely by measuring the earring placement and used a numbing cream to ensure the most comfortable experience for my baby. Very happy with her service!

    Ear piercing on 9 month old
    Mena P.

    I am so happy I found this place! I took my daughter in to get her ears pierced at 9 months old. It was very important to me to have her ears pierced with a needle and not a piercing gun as it heals much better and there is a lower risk for infection I believe. Cleo was very nice and informative. She really took her time and was very precise. I did not feel like the service was rushed at all and everything seemed super sanitary. Cleo went over everything with my husband and me, we selected the earrings we wanted (14k gold with Swarovski crystal), and signed forms. She numbed my daughter's ear with topical numbing. Once numbing was done, she measured both ears and marked the spot she was going to pierce. My baby cried when she got the piercing (expected), but settled pretty quickly after. We gave her a bottle of milk immediately after and she was okay. She did end up waking up a bit more that night, I'm sure because her ears felt warm or were sore, but by morning she was back to normal! We clean her ears twice a day and so far her ears are healing well! *knock on wood* Overall, I was happy with the experience and feel it was the best that it could be.

    Right after pierced!!

    Everything just went well! My 7yo suddenly told me that she is ready to get her ears pierced! The booking went smoothly. Private service and private room is a plus. Beautiful display of earrings and chic studio! The choices of earrings were beautiful, and not overwhelming at all! I opted for the more expensive one cause I wanted the healing process to be smooth. She worked quickly and swiftly. My daughter is over the moon and loving her new pairs. They came with certificate, saline solution and she taught me on how to care for the wound. Easy peasy, not messy and they healed quickly. Thank you so much for giving a special and happy moment for us.

    Such an amazing experience with Cleo! We are from San Diego and drove here just for her services. We brought our 3 month old to get her piercings done. She was so patient and precise with placing her piercings. I absolutely love that she provides numbing cream with no additional cost. I highly recommend if you are getting your baby their first piercings!! Cannot recommend her enough!

    Cleo was an amazing person to work with. My wife was looking for a place that uses precision and a needle versus a piercing gun. The space was very sanitary and very well put together. Her selection of earrings for babies and her expertise and patience were very reassuring. She started off with numbing each ear lobe with numbing cream for 15 min. Afterwards she measured and marked the center of each lobe and showed us the result. Once everything was set, she pierced each ear and took her time which we appreciated. Our baby girl didn't cry which was very surprising to us! Cleo then demonstrated how to clean each ear lobe and sent us on our way. We recommend using her for your baby. Healing has been going well so far, no redness or irritation has been seen from our baby.

    Ok guys SOS! This is the 3rd time I've brought my daughter to Cleo and she's still the ONLY one we trust! She stayed open late for us to do an earring change for my now 4yr old. She's still so unbelievably accommodating and sweet! If you're looking for an infant piercer or anyone who handles toddler piercings you must call her!

    We just took our 4 month old daughter this past Saturday and couldn't say enough positive things about Cleopatra. I did extensive research for infant piercings and didn't want the typical mall piercing. We drove from Santa Monica for the reassurance that our baby girl would be well taken care of and that's exactly what we got. The space was clean and she was amazing with our baby girl. We really appreciated that numbing cream was applied prior which meant there was very to little crying and we attributed the crying solely because our daughter hates being held down and wanted to be kicking up a storm so was more frustrated than anything. Anyone hesitant about piercing your babies ears should look no further.

    So cute!
    Renee M.

    This place is absolutely perfect. Very clean, very soothing, and inviting. My daughter had a hard time after the first ear, and Bora was so patient and kind. I did not feel rushed or anxious. She just rolled with it. We eventually got the second one in. I will say this place is on the high end, but honestly, you're getting what you pay for. I wouldn't have taken my daughter anywhere else.

    Came in here to get my (don't laugh) 18 year old cartilage hoop earring replaced. I didn't get any new piercings, but my only prerequisite was that it had to be gold. So I did do a bit of research online, and stumbled across Cleo's business with rave reviews. Her establishment is located inside Sola Salons inside the Woodbury Shopping Center - and she carries gold, rose gold and white cold. Cleo measured my old earring hoop to match almost the exact size (new one was a bit smaller but it ended up looking nicer), and I even got a bumble bee and kitty earring too just to swap out the style every once in a while instead of just having the single hoop earring. Yes, 18 years ago was a long time. And even though I didn't go in for a new piercing- I admit I was a bit nervous. But, Cleo made the entire experience very easy and comfortable from helping remove my very old earring to letting me browse at my own pace during my slotted appointment time slot. I did see that she had other services available such as eyelash extensions as well as a few others. I'd definitely be interested in coming back again. Thank you for an amazing first experience here! :)

    Found her on TikTok as the best person to pierce your baby's ears and decided to book an appointment! I drove all the way from San Diego and it was DEFINITELY worth it! Her room is exceptionally clean and very comfortable. My daughter did well with her, very minimal tears but the placement came out perfect and there was a variety of earrings to choose from! I opted for the cutest van cleef earrings and I am in love with everything! Great experience and highly recommend if you have a baby that needs their ears pierced. She had a cute toy to distract my daughter and was sooo gentle and sweet. Thank you to Cleopatra Beauty studio!

    Can we do walk ins?

    No, it's appointment based

    Can I bring my own piercings to get pierced with?

    No, you have to purchase the piercings there

    Do you do repiercing? I got my daughter's ears pierced but now they look a little uneven and I'm not sure if I want to go back to the same place I originally got them done. If so, how much do you charge and how long should we wait for the repiercing?

    What is the best way to reach you for an appointment? Your mailbox says it's not setup for messages.Thank you very much

    Text the number, I did & she got back to me with all the information needed.

    Hello, can I bring my own earrings to be pierced? thank you

    I can not recommend to use your own earrings because of the liability issues. There are possible things can go wrong. I can not guarantee my work and I am not responsible for any problems may come after the piercing.

    How much for ear lobe piercing and basic earring studs?

    $30.40

    Do they carry titanium adult earrings for adults?

    Yes

    My baby is 6 months old, we already have a pair of earrings. Can you use her personal earrings to pierce her ears?

    No. She requires you to buy earrings there. There's a liability issue for using your own earrings.

    There is not information on the website about baby piercing. How old does baby need to be?

    My pediatrician recommends at least at 2 months or older after their first round of shots BUT it is up to the parents as it is their responsibility to keep the piercing clean.

    For ear piercing is it done with a needle or with a gun?

    It was done with a needle, for babies. Honestly everything was super clean and organized!

    Hi, are the needles you use for piercing disposable, does each person get a new needle when we are getting pierced?

    Yes

    Hi. Do you use numbing cream so I don't feel the pain . I would like to pierce my tragus?

    Hi, she does have numbing cream

    How much are a pair of 14kt gold earings? I only see piercing price list on the website, not the jewelry price. Thanks!

    It varies from what design and type of earrings. It starts from $50 and goes up to $300.

    Hi! So cartilage piercing is $30+the price of whatever jewelry I choose?

    How much is a forward helix, tragus or took piercing ? Do you offer discounts if I do a few?

    All information is on the website Thank you for choosing Cleopatra.… 

    Are you open on Sunday and Monday? If you do, what time are you open?

    I'm off every Sunday and Monday. Thank you.

    How much would it cost to get my helix pierced?

The receptionist was again super nice and Lucas my piercer (I randomly picked because I didn't know anyone there) ended up being extremely knowledgeable on how to troubleshoot my angry nose piercing that didn't seem to want to behave.

He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

All through the healing process Rose was quick to answer my messages on Instagram, and she even went to the trouble of custom ordering me a piece of jewelry for it once it finally healed.

Mason helped me again today when I couldn't get my navel piercing put back in. I had left my jewelry out for a week and I couldn't install it into the piercing by myself because the piercing had collapsed and trying to put the a piece in was painful, really tight, and dangerous to do by myself. They walked me through the process and were able to quickly and sanitarily install a piece into my piercing using a tapered tool. Once again, he made me feel very comfortable with knowing what to expect and making it happen as painlessly as possible.

I made a call during my break and was immediately given an appointment, they were so accommodating and patient with me when I came in and gave me different options for more conservative jewelry for work. And bless both of their souls, they stayed a little bit past closing and didn't pressure me into buying something I wasn't sure would be approved. Also, Cat did an awesome job when I first got my piercings with my boyfriend, he now has a nostril ring and I have a vertical labret which we got done about 3 years ago on our first Christmas together. Both have healed wonderfully, especially given the sensitive area mine is in. And mind you, I STRUGGLED to take my jewelry off, I used gloves, bare *washed* hands, and even a paper towel to try and take off my previous bar and when it was switched, it was so effortless and painless, I almost didn't tell when the retainer went in. Barbella studios is kind enough to let you know when a piercing won't work (was advised that a brow piercing is a no-go but the vertical labret was perfect), humorous when they give you aftercare advice so you'll for sure remember, and most importantly are clean, careful, and mindful for their client's safety and budget. Getting pierced by a professional will range widely in price no matter where you go, but with their experience, advice, cleanliness, and support, just know you can never go wrong with this studio. Sure, it may be a little pricey, but that price comes with a lot of accuracy to ensure your body is pierced properly, and has suitable jewelry for the healing and movement your body goes through.

All my piercings are within the year so it's still "healing" but so far have healed beautifully. Her website is incredibly detailed, designed to ease your mind if you have any questions or doubts, and for my first professional piercing experience, I'm so glad I trusted my gut and went to her. Small business and woman owned, you will be spending your money on quality pieces of jewelry and quality care. She's super talented and sweet, walks you through everything and can quell your fears and anxiety with her sweet humor. Definitely will be coming back again and again and again!!

She welcomed any questions I had and quickly put my anxious mind at ease. Will definitely be returning for more piercings in the future. I knew she'd be amazing when another piercer out of state recommended her-- and they were absolutely right.

    ***Update: The owner responded and stated that their comments about me having to lose weight may…read morehave been due to a language barrier and were intended to discuss anatomy and piercing placement. However, my boyfriend was present during the appointment and heard the conversation firsthand. The comments about me needing to lose weight were made at least 5 times, which is why they made me uncomfortable. I also found the owner's use of the term "extra flesh" in his public response to be unprofessional and reflective of the concerns raised in my original review. Never once did I mention "extra flesh" so you see they literally body shame even publicly. I stand by my experience. While my piercing healed well with the titanium jewelry I selected, the repeated comments about my body and the pressure I felt to purchase more expensive jewelry are the reasons I chose not to return. -------- I originally booked an appointment here because they operate by appointment only. However, I was surprised to learn that both appointments and deposits are cash only. In a time when most businesses accept cards, Apple Pay, and other digital payment methods, this felt unnecessarily inconvenient. During my visit, I decided to get my belly button pierced. Unfortunately, the experience left a negative impression. Throughout the appointment, the piercer an Asian lady repeatedly commented that I needed to lose weight. These remarks were unsolicited, unprofessional, and made me uncomfortable. For context, I am 5'3" and approximately 123 pounds. Regardless of anyone's size or personal fitness goals, customers should not have to listen to repeated comments about their body during a piercing appointment. I came in for a service, not for criticism about my appearance. After that experience, I decided I would not return. Another issue I had was the constant pressure to purchase more expensive jewelry. I specifically requested titanium jewelry because I had researched it beforehand and wanted an option that is commonly recommended for sensitive skin. Despite this, I felt repeatedly pushed toward more expensive alternatives and was told I would be more likely to experience problems if I chose titanium. In my case, that was not true. My piercing healed without infection, and I was happy with my choice. Six months later, once my piercing had fully healed, I wanted to upgrade my jewelry and visited Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing. The difference in customer service was night and day. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional. They answered my questions without judgment, made me feel comfortable, and provided a much more positive experience overall. I was also surprised to find that both their piercing services and jewelry were approximately half the price of what I had been quoted at Eddie's. On top of that, Platinum Ink accepts multiple forms of payment, including credit cards and Apple Pay, and they welcome walk-ins, making the entire process much more convenient. I cannot speak to the quality of the tattoo work here since I only received a piercing. However, based on my personal experience, I would choose Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing without hesitation. Customer service, professionalism, and making clients feel comfortable should be a priority, and unfortunately that was not my experience here.

    If you are interested in dermals, this is the place to go. I got 4 back dermals (2 at a time a…read morecouple weeks apart) here bout a year ago and was kinda nervous, not sm about the pain, but that I wouldn't like the location or that one was higher or sumn like that cuz it's not an easy piercing to just redo. I love how they don't just eyeball it but actually measure and draw out lines to figure out placement. Loved how all of em came out. Despite my efforts to keep them happy, I've had two incidents since where i was genuinely concerned that the only solution would be to take it out cuz that's all i saw online. I was so relieved when eddie informed me it'd be possible to save it (not a guarantee tho) using an extension bar and thank goodness it worked cuz both are completely fine now. I doubt i would still have em if i went anywhere else bout the issues i had. He is always rly prompt with responding on ig which I rly appreciate, especially when I had concerns. I first came here to get my tragus and third lobe piercings, and as someone who's really particular bout things like placement and symmetry, I got reassurance seeing Ayan measure and line up the placement of my third lobe piercings. Seeing how in depth they do even lobe piercings, I was confident in coming here and only here for back dermals. Also as a heads up this place is cash only Highly recommend here for all piercing needs:)
