I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. 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.

The shop is super clean, well organized, and has a really cool vibe! Rose was incredibly professional and took the time to explain everything step by step, which made me feel really comfortable.

My singles were re-pierced by Mason today (they closed up from years prior after I had an allergic reaction to gold earrings) and my doubles were pierced by Logan last year. My mom also came in with me and received help from both Mason and Logan on earrings that would work best for her lobes. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and take their time to do things the right way. My mom and I both can't wait for the next time we get another piercing so we can come back in and see them again. 10/10 this is the place to go!

I originally left this review a long time ago and a few years after, I came back in the same store…read moreto do a swap of one of my jewelry pieces. I picked the most basic piece of jewelry that they had and went to go pay. The owner then I guess recognized me or my review and asked me if I had left a three star review and I told her I did and then she said that I could have the jewelry I was trying to buy, for free. She said that because of my review, it was free. I insisted that I paid, but she wouldn't take any form of payment. I gave it two stars because that interaction in itself was very yucky and condescending. Highly uncomfortable. I never went back. The owner is definitely sensitive of her business, which I understand but you can't be condescending towards your customers and expect them to retain them. I now go to the piercing shop in Orange. Great service, super helpful. & good prices. If you're looking for spending $250-$1200+ on extremely high-end yet minimal (?) body jewelry then this is the place to go. If you're not, I recommend the piercing shop in orange that will still give you good quality jewelry at a normal price, including the piercings at a normal price and they are just as knowledgeable as the piercers at C&M if not more. Don't make the same mistake I did coming here.

It was a little out of the way and was super expensive so I searched around Yelp to see which ones nearby use needles and saw Paradigm's account. After seeing their straightforward pricing on their webpage, we decided to give them a try. Since our daughter was under 11 months old, we called ahead and were thoroughly informed about what to expect. Pediatric piercings are done on Sundays, which worked perfectly for our schedules. Her pricing already includes the earrings, which was a plus. The entire experience was thoughtful and professional. She first applied numbing cream and let it sit for about 20 minutes. She then placed a headband on our daughter to keep her hair out of the way, carefully marked both ears, and had us verify that the placement looked even before proceeding. Our daughter cried at first, which is to be expected, but once she saw her reflection afterward, she smiled! We really appreciated how gentle, patient, and detail-oriented she was throughout the process. It made what could have been a stressful experience much easier for both baby and parents. We highly recommend Paradigm to anyone looking for a safe and professional place for infant ear piercings.

Booking online was quick and easy. Sheryl had excellent communication before my appointment, sent reminders, and provided clear directions to the shop.

Sheryl is professional, calm, friendly, and very approachable. She made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. After my piercing, I had a few questions, and Sheryl was always quick to respond. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does. Her pricing is very reasonable, the jewelry selection is beautiful, and she has a great eye for curating and stacking piercings. If you're considering multiple piercings, she's fantastic at helping you choose pieces that work well together. Overall, I highly recommend her.

This was my third time visiting the Baron Art location in Orange, but I booked with MJ this time…read morebecause I was specifically looking for her specialty in abstract ink wash brushstroke styles. From the very first message, the entire experience was incredibly smooth and pleasant. MJ was highly communicative leading up to our appointment date. I had a lot of ideas, and she was extremely patient and accommodating as we went back and forth on styles. She even had me come in for a quick, in-person consultation beforehand, which was fantastic because it made collaborating and aligning our visions face-to-face so much easier. On the day of the session, the process was amazing. MJ constantly checked in to ensure I was comfortable. She has a remarkably light hand, there were moments where it felt like nothing at all. I highly recommend MJ, especially if you are looking for traditional abstract brushstroke work, though her talent and professionalism make it clear she can adapt to whatever style you throw her way. She completely exceeded my expectations!
