Our pediatrician recommended this other piercing studio in Irvine because they specialize in pediatric piercings. 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. read more

One of my close friends got her ears pierced here, and after hearing about her experience, I immediately booked an appointment because I had been wanting a third lobe piercing for a while. Booking online was quick and easy. Sheryl had excellent communication before my appointment, sent reminders, and provided clear directions to the shop. When I arrived, I checked in, showed my ID, completed the paperwork, and got to choose my jewelry. The entire experience was comfortable and stress-free, and the shop itself is absolutely adorable. 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. Between her professionalism, quality jewelry, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service, the experience was excellent from start to finish. I can't wait to go back for my next piercing! read more

I took my niece to Paradigm Piercings today for a pediatric ear piercing, and it was such a great experience. Sheryl was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and very gentle, which made a huge difference, especially for a kid. This was actually my second time coming here. My first visit was for an ear curation (where they help design a whole piercing look), and I loved that experience just as much. My niece said it didn't hurt and felt really comfortable the entire time, which says a lot. They also have so many earring options to choose from. We ended up picking a dainty little daisy that was perfect for her. Overall, such a positive experience both times I've gone. I would definitely recommend Paradigm Piercings to anyone, especially for pediatric piercings. read more

Absolutely love Sheryl, she pierced my daughter at 5 months old a few years ago and she did my baby today who's 6 months old. She's gentle and patient. I also got my helix done each time, my older daughter ears healed quickly and for today she used numbing cream that helped a lot. read more

Ever since I came here once a little bit over a year ago for my naval, I always come back! She is so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable, and the overall vibe and atmosphere of her room is amazing. I've gotten 2 ear piercings and one belly from her, and every single time I have loved it! Her jewelry selection is the best too. Her pricing is actually really good as well and very reasonable. My mom and I love her and will always be back!! read more

Great selection of quality jewelry, and I like that they use proper needles instead of the pressure gun. Our piercer Sheryl was very sweet, and played my daughter's music choice to help with her comfort level. She also took her time to measure each ear for proper placement and ensured we were happy before proceeding. I appreciated the little snacks on hand to help with sugar levels, and that she stocked aftercare supplies. We would come back again and recommend this place to any nervous kids (and adults!) read more

I had such a wonderful experience bringing my 9 month old here to get her ears pierced. I'm so happy to have found a Sheryl who specializes in baby ear piercings at such an affordable price. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and professional, and made the whole experience comfortable and stress-free for my baby and for me as a parent. You can truly tell she knows what she's doing and cares about making it a positive experience. My baby now has her ears pierced and they look absolutely adorable. I highly recommend this place to any parents looking for a safe, clean and caring experience for their little one! read more

I've been meaning to write this review for the longest time, and honestly, Sheryl deserves all the recognition. We brought both of my daughters to Sheryl at Paradigm for their ear piercings about a year ago, and the entire experience was so thoughtful and professional from start to finish. She took her time, made both of them feel comfortable, and was incredibly patient--which as a parent, you really appreciate in those moments. What really stood out though was the aftercare and support. Over the past year, we had to come back a few times as their ears were healing, and Sheryl was always so kind, helpful, and never made us feel like we were a bother. She truly cares about doing things safely and correctly--not just the piercing itself, but the whole healing process. Even recently, when we had trouble changing the earrings, she took the time to help and guide us again. That level of care and attention is rare. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about her clients (especially kids), I cannot recommend Sheryl enough. So grateful we found her! read more

The first time I came I needed help installing jewelry back in my healed piercings. I had a great experience with Sheryl so when I finally decided to get my daith pierced I made an appointment with her. Sheryl is super friendly and knowledgeable. She did a great job both times I came in. I will definitely be back for my future piercings! Her studio is really cute and girly. She keeps things nice and tidy. There's lots of cute jewelry to pick from. Parking is easy as well. read more

My first experience was so good that I came back after 3 weeks and my 3rd double lobe piercings and I bright friends!! Sheryl is such a pro! The experience from start to finish is a fun and calming one. She explains everything which is nice because you know what you're getting, no suprises. All questions about after care answered. And the selection of upgradeable studs are pretty with a good variety of themes and styles! Such a smooth and easy, and even fun experience with my girlfriends! Great vibes all around, and as you can see I in the photos below green is my favorite color read more

I recently took my daughter--just a month shy of turning 3--to get her ears pierced, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Paradigm Piercing. I missed the sweet spot of getting her ears pierced as a baby (7-12 months), so I knew we'd have to wait until she was older, which made finding a place I could truly trust even more important. After a lot of searching, I'm so glad we found Sheryl. Sheryl is an absolute gem. The studio is incredibly clean, calm, and feels truly sterile--exactly what you want when trusting someone with your little one. My daughter didn't feel a thing; honestly, I was way more nervous leading up to it than she was! Sheryl was patient, reassuring, and so gentle through the entire process. I'm beyond relieved and grateful we chose Paradigm Piercing. If you're a parent debating where to take your child, I highly recommend this place. It was such a positive experience from start to finish. read more

The owner was able to calm them down and the piercing was so quick and precise that everything went off without a hitch. The space is so clean and sterile. I even got piercing -- it was the best piercing experience I've had to date. The best part was that she was so calm and sweet to the girls.

I'd been meaning to post this review for while but Sheryl did an outstanding job of making my otherwise nervous daughter feel comfortable and cared for during our appointment. She talked us through everything and patiently helped us pick out the right earrings for my little girl. After the piercing my daughter was so relieved and said "that's it?" Sheryl made it as gentle and painless as possible. We conducted a couple follow up appointments to ensure all was progressing smoothly and it set my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Paradigm Piercings, particularly for the nervous kiddos out there as the relaxed and comfortable surroundings made it well worth it. read more

Sheryl is an incredible professional and truly great. I brought my 12 year old in for her lobes about two years ago, and we recently went back for her second lobes because I trust Sheryl's work so much. I also got my second lobes and a flat. Our piercings have healed so well because her placement and technique is amazing. She talks you through it all. The location is easy to get to, secure, and clean. I definitely plan on returning! read more

Sheryl did my 3rd lobe piercing 8 months ago. I just came back for a targus and helix piercing. Sheryl is very efficient, gentle and precise. Minimal to no pain during piercing and so far 2 days later and I dont have any discomfort or pain with the new piercings. Already looking to come back to add another one! read more

Very friendly and made the piercing process much less intimidating!! I wasn't sure what I wanted going in and she was so helpful with giving suggestions based on anatomy read more

Overall very impressed. I took my twin 7 year old girls to get their ears pierced two weeks apart only because one expressed she wanted hers pierced. Soon after witnessing her sister's experience, she couldn't wait to get hers. Sheryl made us feel at home and was very patient with my girls. She explained each step to them, calming their nerves and they were super happy with the results. I highly recommend coming here whether it's for your littles or yourself, you will not be disappointed. read more

My daughter and I had the very best experience at paradigm piercings! Sheryl was so sweet and so patient! She measured and re-measured to ensure that my daughter's second hole was perfectly even and to our liking! She definitely made both of us feel completely comfortable! I got a stacked lobe in each ear and a mid helix on one! Sheryl helped me decide what would look best on my ears and what my anatomy allowed for! All three piercings were virtually painless! I know that this differs greatly from person to person, but I also know that having a skilled piercing artist can make a huge difference! Sheryl did a fantastic job! We love our new piercings and have gotten so many compliments! I wanted to buy all the jewelry! She has such a fantastic selection of high-quality jewelry! I was tempted to completely freestyle both my ears! Her studio is so clean and so cute! I have already recommended her to all my friends and will definitely be going back for future piercings and to change our jewelry. once these piercings have healed! I can't say enough, good things about our experience! 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Plus the piercing boutique is super cute and girly and my granddaughter loved all that. We had a question after leaving and Cambria was quick to reply.

Sheryl is amazing! I drove through Friday traffic from diamond bar - and would totally do it again - to be pierced by her First off, after doing tons of research because I wanted to find a place that would allow my preferred jewelry, it was great that her Instagram page was so informative- exactly what I needed. She's also very responsive, and I was quickly able to book for myself and my friend. Once there, she makes you feel so at ease and is such a cool girl to talk to most of all, i appreciate how transparent and detail-oriented she was and the advice she gave on the piercings and if it suits your ear shape. It was very fun to see my friend do pick out the jewelry for the ear styling session. Impeccable curation! I got the hidden helix piercing I've been wanting forever. So quick and she's so gentle I can't wait to come back when I downsize and pick out more jewelry! read more

Sheryl is an extremely confident piercer. I took my daughter, who is six months old to get her ears by Sheryl. Her aesthetic of her business is absolutely spotless, pretty, and very calming. She has an excellent hand. She calmed my baby, she let me denote the tone of holding her and she was extremely patient with her. I would 100% recommend you taking your child to her. Also, when we were to Paradigm, another little girl came in. She was probably about eight years old, she seemed extremely confident and said that she got her ears pierced by Sheryl and it didn't hurt at all. She was actually getting her jewelry switched out, she did not make a wince or look like she was in any pain whatsoever. Thank you Sheryl! read more

Sheryl at Paradigm Piercings made the ear piercing experience (almost) painless for my daughter!
