This salon is so clean and the piercer is so generous and precise with her work:) but unfortunately I won't be coming back. I'm not sure if this is only happening to me but a earlobe piercing that I got done here two years ago still has not healed. The needle she uses is so thin that the hole keeps closing up and the hole is also so small that it doesn't let me put on earrings with a thick stick. The backing of the studs I bought here never came off either. I had to cut them off even tho they were $120 because the hole wasn't healing properly and were getting infected. I really love the piercer and salon and I have a great experience when I come here but what I get left with is really something I don't ever want to go through again... read more

Cleopatra - Helix piercing! - Piercing Near Me - Irvine, California

Wasn't what I was expecting and was extremely overpriced. Just know if you are taking an infant here. They use the old needle method not a gun and it is going to cost you about $200 to have the piercing done. The place is super clean however, for what you get I think it is extremely overpriced. read more

almost 2 week update: I noticed some items stuck to my baby's earrings and contacted Cleopatra's. She responded immediately and saw me the very next day. She cleaned and sanitized the earrings and patiently showed me how to properly care for the piercing area again. There is no infection, I just didn't know how to do the aftercare correctly. I really wanted to pay for this extra service because it was my own fault to not know how to clean the earrings correctly, but Cleopatra won't take any payment and even offered for me to come back again if this happens again. She reassured me repeatedly she's here for me and my baby and she will take good care of us. I am so thankful I came here for piercing. She is so professional, knowledgeable, and kind! I will come back to get more cute earrings in a few months and just to say hi again! read more

Wonderful treatment at Cleopatra. Bought my wife multiple piercings here, and she was super nervous about it but the calm relaxing setting of the cute shop and wonderful Bora's gentleness and professionalism made her smile the whole way through! She numbed her ears and wife didn't feel any pain. Awesome shop and would highly recommend to everyone! read more

I brought my 6 week Baby to get her ears pierced with Cleo. She did an amazing job! I highly recommend, everything is cleaned and sterilized. read more

Thank you Cleopatra for your service! She is so so sweet and very professional. I am grateful that Yelp brought me to her. I came here to get a pair of lobe piercings. Her shop is on the second floor in the Northwood Plaza where Zion Market is also located. It is not hard to find but you can also give her a call if you have any troubles. I texted her to find her availability which was in about 2 business days. Her service charges are fair and jewelry is also provided for your new piercings with an additional cost. The appointment took less than 30 minutes and I did not have any troubles with my piercings. She will provide after care instructions as well. Great place to get your piercings done, I will definitely recommend her to my friends in the area! read more

Cleopatra - Piercing Near Me - Irvine, California

I already have the piercings, I've been thinking of doing the Helix piercing for a while, so I went to see Cleopatra. I must say that Cleopatra piercings and the jewelries is the best piercing shop I've ever been to. It is super clean cozy shop located in Sola salon. There were a lot of the cutest and most beautiful earrings in the super dust free display. Everyone who pierces before knows that the material for the earrings should be safe. Cleopatra had a lot of cute and pretty earrings to choose from and the materials were the safe surgical materials. It is so important to me and for everyone that the material is so important. A few years ago, I took a pretty ordinary earring to a certain piercing shop and pierced it and I had pretty bad experience of being infected and having swollen ears for 4 months. When I visit Cleopatra for the piercings the first thing I do is check the material of the earrings. I was very glad to see that Cleo earrings were surgical and and 14k gold is added to it, the price is of course a little higher than regular the individual earring was $60, $120 for the pair. All piercings are counted as single 14k $60 for surgery $30 for surgical steel. I asked her why is the earring priced individually she explained that some people just wanted to have a single piercing with a single earring. All of them were brought from Korea, I saw the delicacy of details of the pretty earrings. Cleo was so kind and sincere she made my trip a pleasant day and I trusted for her service and products. I'm so happy to find her and be able to trust someone like Cleo. She definitely deserve 5 stars. Thank you Cleo! read more

Wonderful experience! Supper clean and staff is awesome! Even through I arrived at the wrong time of my appointment she was extremely kind to not cancel on me and still provide the best service! Definitely recommend. read more

No wonder this place got five stars and great reviews. I came here and was amazed by the level of professionalism Cleo showed me. She has all kinds of services from tattoos to piercings. I had my ears pierced before but they've since closed up. I was scared she might mess up but she was on point and was so precise with the needle. I saw some of her artwork and dang she can draw too. I'm not a tattoo person but if I were to get one, I'd definitely come here. It's clean and she really communicates the steps to be taken very well. This place is kind of far from my home but I'd come back for any more piercings. I was recommended here by a friend. Anyways though. most importantly, Cleo is kinda cute too. That's always a plus. I highly recommend this place. read more

Phenomenal! I got my Helix piercing done. Best way to reach is by text! I loved my experience. Everything is super clean and well kept. I was greeted and marked for my piercing, got numbing cream applied and then picked out my jewelry. She counted to 3 and I couldn't believe I didn't feel a thing. I've had other piercings but this has been the best experience. Super kind and welcoming. Thanks again! read more

Two reasons for me to come to Cleo for my eyelashes extensions. 1. She does good job and takes care of my eyelashes. My extension looks natural and I like it! 2. She has a lot of clients, so it is strongly recommended to make appointment with her in advance. However, she is very flexible so I never had any problem with making appointments. read more

Cleopatra - Piercing Near Me - Irvine, California

This is the ONLY place this business will respond to my concerns! I have called, sent multiple text messages, sent messages here, and request via website! I am not being responded to. I left a review of my experience and she left a condescending response almost immediately! This is a terrible experience that I have and am still enduring with this "piercing facility" As I stated and will stand by, THIS IS NOT THE PROPER SIZE JEWELRY FOR A NEW PIERCING! I did my part in the aftercare as I have for my other 9 piercing that have never been an issue. This jewelry that cleopatra recommended to me was not large enough to allow the proper healing from a new piercing! That was truly an unprofessional response and as you can see, she just "liked" my concern when brought to her attention for the third and final time! THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE SHE WILL RESPOND Oh and those "positive" reviews are ALL coerced as I myself left a positive review immediately after leaving because she had asked me to do so in exchange for a discount! Therefore I absolutely felt the need to come back and tell the TRUTH of my experience here! read more

I've been wanting a conch piercing for a while and I was so scared to get it at a tattoo shop. I was also scared of needles but Cleo really made me feel comfortable and assured me that it wouldn't hurt. The earrings are top-notch quality and she has such good taste in earring combinations! Would definitely recommend Cleo to anyone who wants an ear piercing. This place is a hidden gem! read more

Was greeted at the door because of Covid. Masks are required as well. Cleopatra was so professional and clean. She has a UV sanitation machine for everything, even for the pens are used during the signature process. Was was very thorough with explaining instructions and understanding and answering any questions I had. I would recommend her to everyone that needs a piercing. Best experience ever! read more

I took my 6 year old daughter to get her ears pierced and was very pleased with the experience! Cleo was very gentle and kind, which made my daughter feel very comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

I have 14 piercings including the two new innerhelix and conch I got here. I've gotten piercings at so many different places - Korea, Seattle, Florida, Hollywood, Orange, and Anaheim and now Tustin. But seriously, this experience is just what I want everyone to go through with all of their piercings. It was my first time with the numbing cream which made the whole process so so so much easier, I wish all of my previous piercings were done with it! I went with a friend who said the exact same thing and neither of us had any pain in the last 4 days after we got the piercings last Saturday. I'm already planning on retuning to get some more done :D She also sells the aftercare saline mist which is super super helpful and feels nice on the pierced areas. She has a very cute jewelry selection to choose from. I've already started to refer my friends to Cleo so I hope you can all check this place out. Thanks Cleo for letting us come in!!! She will make you feel so comfortable and listen to whatever needs you have. read more

It was such a great experience. Everything was super clean and the piercing was super quick and not super painful. I got a second lobe piercing and she made sure it was perfectly centered and I liked it before she pierced it. There was also a great selection of earrings to choose from. I would definitely recommend and come again. read more

I took my 14 month old daughter to get her ears pierced. Cleo did a great job. My daughter cried but it was super quick and the tears stopped as soon as the piercings were done. The piercing was done with a needle which is exactly what I was looking for. Initially I was going to book an appointment at a tattoo/piercing parlor because they have sterile environments, use needles, and they have professional piercers. Ultimately I chose to go to Cleopatra because I felt more comfortable walking into a studio like this. The tattoo parlors felt a bit intimidating for me especially walking in with my baby girl. Anyway, I definitely recommend Cleo. She's very nice, professional, and most importantly her office is very clean. FYI: Aside from paying for the piercings, you'll also have to purchase earrings from her (you cannot take your own), I recommend buying the spray for daily use until it heals. read more

Cleo has pierced both my girls ears. Very clean environment. Cleo is very sweet and professional. Gave recommendations on which earrings to choose from. Explained after care instructions and had cleaning solution to purchase. My first daughters earings have lasted over a year and still going strong.

Super responsive, professional, thorough in explaining the process and after-care process. I highly recommend for ear piercing!

Such a disappointing experience. My 18 year old daughter chose this salon based on the reviews but unfortunately, it feels like she was completely robbed. She purchased a $100 piece of jewelry that broke within two weeks and Cleopatra policy makes no consideration for faulty equipment. Rather we were sent a canned response stating their policy which makes it the customer's responsibility to ensure that the equipment is not faulty or damaged. She wasn't willing to fix it without charging for another appointment deposit and she was going to recharge for a replacement. We opted not to return. I've never encountered a business that would not stand behind the products they sold. The woman who runs this place is a thief. If you're willing to take a chance, hopefully it works out better for you than it did for us. read more

I love Cleopatra so much! Cleo explained the procedure carefully to me before starting. And also helped me pick out a pair of earrings that will look nice on me. She applied numbing cream as the first step, and she took me to the earring display and explained how some of them is better for my first piercing. After I chose the opal earring, she explained to me how she will do the piercing. I felt very comfortable having Cleo to pierce my ears since it is my first time. I highly recommend going to Cleopatra! It is a very nice piercing place and the environment inside is also very nice. I ensure you that you will receive the best treatment there! read more

Cleopatra - My ears after piercing. - Piercing Near Me - Irvine, California

Cleo was professional, so accommodating, clean, and carried a great selection of earrings. I loved the dainty pieces so much and how she was so sweet and made the whole process so quick and easy. But also took the time to make sure I was happy with everything. I got three additional piercings done on my earlobes. One on one side and two on the other. It came out perfect! No infections whatsoever and It's been over a week. I'm so happy with everything and highly recommend her for all your piercings! read more

Excellent place to get ear piercing done! Took my teenage son in to get one of his ears re-pierced after having his ears pierced at Claire's about 9 months ago. Clean and gorgeous studio. She has ear piercing down to a science and gave great customer service. I will definitely come here when I'm ready to add another piercing to my ears. read more

Look no more, because this is the person you want to go to for the best piercing experience ever. Because it was my first time getting my ears pierced, I did a lot (and I mean a lot) of research going into it. I looked into not only the different types of piercings but also piercing methods and procedures. By the end of my research, I knew that I wanted to go somewhere that: 1) Had great sanitary practices 2) A piercer who would listen to my opinions and also tell me what would look good on me 3) Pierced with needles (rather than a gun) 4) And lastly cute jewelry I initially found a shop where I thought all my check points had been crossed off but after looking into them, the pricing and the location was just too crazy for me. Just when I was feeling sad about this, I came across Cleo at Cleopatra. And I'm super glad I did. After reading all her great reviews, I made an appointment right away and I can see why everyone thinks she's so amazing. At my appointment, she welcomed me warmly and asked me exactly what I wanted to get done and if I had any photos for reference. She quickly helped me decide what would look best for my ear shape and please look at my photo because it looks beautiful! She then calmed me down (I had some first time jitters) and got me through all 5(!) piercings swiftly and smoothly. She also made sure to walk me through the pricing of everything prior to the piercing so I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I actually ended up feeling a little dizzy afterwards so she had me lie down until I felt better and even gave me a plastic bag to take with me in case I threw up in the car. I have to say, the amount of care that she put into making my first piercing experience go smoothly made me want to get even more piercings in the future and I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking to get their first piercing or even add on a few new ones. Just as other people have noted, she doesn't have a treasure trove of jewelry but the jewelry she does have is super cute and pretty. And just in case you get lost, she's right inside Bloom Medical at the Zion Market plaza in Irvine on the second floor. read more
