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!

Baby with pierced ears and happy parents

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!

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.

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!

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.

So cute!

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.

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!

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! :)

My daughter wanted to pierce her ears. I started asking friends about their experience and often came across cases where ears were pierced unevenly or hygiene was poor. And then several people at the same time advised me to contact Cleopatra. There was no appointment on the website for the near future (we wanted to pierce our ears before returning to school) and we decided to go. When we arrived, we found out that everything was booked and were about to sign up for the following week when they called in front of us and rescheduled the appointment. All we had to do was wait 30 minutes. Ear piercing for my daughter was not just a procedure. It became a whole event that she will definitely remember. Cleo helped her choose earrings, explained how the procedure was done, she was very nice and left only positive emotions. My 7-year-old sat like an adult in a chair. I was afraid that she would cry. But everything went perfectly. Before the procedure, the ears were anesthetized and the procedure itself took a couple of minutes. The salon is clean and beautiful. My husband also got his ear pierced and he also had positive emotions. We were given a spray to treat our ears while they were healing. It's been 3.5 weeks since the ears were pierced and the ears have healed well, causing no discomfort to either my daughter or my husband. I'm thinking about signing up for eyelashes.

3 month old ear piercing

I looked around at a lot of places to pierce my 3 month old daughters ears and I'm so happy I decided to go with cleopatra! After reviewing all her yelp reviews I was confident she would do a great job with piercing my daughter's ears! I was so nervous for my daughter! She has a very nice area and it's bright clean space. You make the appointment online and have a 30min time slot. She actually spent 45 mins with us! I pierced my ear and my daughters. She does use a needle which I did extensive research on the internet and that's the method that's more sterile than the gun piercing. She measures multiple times before piercing the ear. She does numb the ear as well. It didn't hurt at all! It was a little pinch. The piercing with the needle is really painless! My daughter did cry which was normal and did bleed very little in one ear but she was fine after a few minutes. It's been a week and she's doing great with her piercings!! Highly recommend Cleo!! She was great! She is expensive but it's so worth it! My daughter's earrings a set costed approx $200 plus $100 earring. My one earring was $100 plus $35 piercing fee for me plus tip. It's expensive and the earrings are 14k gold hypoallergenic. No issues so far and we love it!!

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.… Read more

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?

My mom has had permanent brows as long as I can remember. She said it helped with her morning…read moreroutine but as she aged, those brows kind of became bluish grey blocks and I swore to myself that I did not want to do that to my face. Well, with the trend of thin brows of the 90s and early aughts, which clearly did a number on my own brows. Apparently, hair does not always grow back the way you want it to. Take that as a lesson and try to shape not overpluck. I had been letting my brows grow in and just drawing them in all this time. I had looked into permanent brows and microblading for a long time but never did it due to cost and upkeep. Anyway, with hormonal shifts and passing time, my brows have been looking sparse these last few years. Drawing in and powdering my brows in the morning takes longer than I would prefer. I did a deep dive into microblading and nano-blading, weighing the pros and cons. I settled upon a few permanent make-up artists in the area and reached out to them. It was time for me to take charge of my morning routine. Saena Kim has a robust repertoire on Yelp and Instagram so I reached out to her. Making an appointment was easy as she utilizes an online booking system. The consultation is $50 and goes towards your procedure if you choose to continue with her. With my oily skin, I knew that most PMA would suggest combination powder brows, but she suggested nano brows that are machine assisted. I trusted her with literally tattooing my face, so I went with her suggestion after voicing my concerns. I asked about the inks, she used (which are inorganic). I asked about her experience with nano brows (4+ years). I asked about the numbing prior to the procedure (topically applied). My appointment from start to finish was about an hour and a half. She took the time to shape my brows, get feedback from me, and went to work with her machine. My pain was minimal; I might have fallen asleep. She has offered microblading services for years. She also offers lash extensions, brow lamination, brow correction, and lip blush too. She rents a space inside Sola Salons in the Woodbury Town Center. It's a small, cute space with feminine details and bright lighting. There are other beauty services offered inside the salon as well, just know where you need to go. There is plenty of parking in the lot. I will be back in a few weeks for a touch-up session but so far my brows have been looking more shapely than ever before. The brows are healing nicely and I will post an update with side-by-side images, when all is said and done. Thanks Saena for giving my brows new life!

I went to Sumi Lashes and chose the wispy volume style because I wanted soft, fluttery, "I woke up…read morelike this" vibes... and now I accidentally look like I have my life together. The technician was so gentle I almost fell asleep, which is saying a lot because I don't even trust people near my eyeballs like that. The salon was clean, quiet, and relaxing--basically the opposite of my daily chaos. My lashes came out super lightweight but still full, like natural... if my natural self were just better. They've been holding up really well too, surviving naps, showers, and me aggressively rubbing my eyes at 2am (don't recommend, but still). Only downside? Now I have to book ahead because apparently everyone else also wants to look effortlessly put together.

I've been coming here for over two years now, and honestly, the only reason I haven't left is…read morebecause the work is consistently good and the pricing is fair. It's hard to find that balance, but lately, the experience as a customer has been really disappointing. Pros: Technically speaking, the lashes are great. I'm a loyal client because I trust the quality of the work and the price point is exactly where it should be. The studio is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Everything is branded and color coordinated. They have a great board with styles and lengths displayed to make consultations easier. Cons: While the work is high-quality, the service feels incredibly one-sided. They are extremely strict about appointment confirmations, which I'd understand for a brand-new client, but I've been coming here for years and have a near-perfect track record outside of being a few minutes late a handful of times (always within their 15 minute grace period). I recently had an appointment canceled because I didn't confirm via text--meanwhile, I just brought a newborn home and my phone is the last thing on my mind. When I explained the situation, there was zero flexibility or effort to help me out, which was a huge letdown since I needed that touchup for our birth announcement video. A while back a tech got lash glue on my brand-new clothes (including a pair of expensive jeans and freshly altered white top) which completely ruined them. I have no idea how this happened but when I pointed it out at my next visit, there wasn't even an offer for a small credit or any gesture to make it right. Clients are expected to be on time, yet I have had to wait on multiple occasions because they weren't ready for me. Plus, one of the techs frequently stops mid-application to check out other customers or help other techs, which just drags out the appointment. Usually I go every four weeks but recently I've had some big events and trying to get a touch-up has been difficult. I replied to confirm an available slot immediately only to be told it was actually already booked. It actually caused me to miss getting a touch-up before my son was born. I really want to keep supporting this business because the results are consistent, but I hope they start showing a bit more consideration for their loyal, long-term clients. Skills are important, but so is how you treat people.

She is one of the sweetest professionals I've ever worked with and was so patient throughout, taking time to listen to what I wanted and checking in to make sure I was happy with the results. She did a great job of creating a complimentary brow shape and color - I have extremely light natural brows where it looks like I don't have brows at all, and I used to draw them in everyday, so having a natural-looking brow over the past few months has literally been life-changing (and saves me a lot of time in the mornings)! She provided two touch-ups to ensure I got the exact result I wanted, and I am so pleased with how they look now. I would recommend Ann to everyone I know!
