I came here with my five years old daughter to pierce her ears. The girl was very gentle and she made sure to comfort my daughter so my little one wasn’t scared at all in the end. She was very proud of herself. I would definitely recommend this place!

Very unprofessional. Do not get any tattoos done by Brenn_o. He will lie about the time he spent doing your tattoo.. got the date wrong on the tattoo he did on me after I texted him exactly what I wanted done on me lucky I caught it on time and had him correct it. Does not know how to follow instructions. He has no communication skills. Total loser. Bad vibes

Ivy switched out my jewelry for me and cleaned the piercings that were problematic. She was very nice and knowledgeable plus sweet to my pup. I’ve been to 4 piercing salons and Oak and Poppy is by far THE MOST DOG FRIENDLY! I love their jewelry selection - the best and most reasonably priced. I’ve been to both their locations and both were worth the one hour drive from Long Beach.

Went in for 3 new piercings w/ Christine, and she was great! She was very warm and friendly from the get go, and informative about each step and what to expect. She was so patient as we talked about placement and what would look and work best jewelry wise. She was (along w/ the rest of the shop) was clean & sanitary, which is of utmost importance. The front end staff was very friendly, informative & patient as well, answering questions and concerns as much as she could! This place was highly recommended and did not disappoint!

My first tattoo experience with Brenno surpassed all expectations.
Despite my tiny and intricate design, he executed it flawlessly, leaving me pain-free and relaxed throughout.
The final result was amazingly beautiful and earned praise from everyone who sees it.
I highly recommend Brenno for his exceptional skill.

I went in on a Saturday looking for a replacement/spare labret for my lip piercing. Spoke with a lovely person at the front who helped me choose and explained a few things to me about the products. Very knowledgeable about what was available and such, including measurements (I think her name was Jackie? I'm sorry IDR).
Asked if there were piercers there who do genital piercings (VCH) and got a consultation/piercing appointment next day with the one piercer there who does them (I think she is the only one).
Came in the next day and an apprentice (whose name I'm sorry I also forgot) helped me through the process of signing papers, picking jewelry (got a cute curved barbell with a lovely sapphire-blue gem at one end) and everything else. Very respectful and kind people. The apprentice asked if I would be willing to let her sit in so that she may watch and learn, to which I said yes. (Of course! Why wouldn't someone be willing to let someone be in the same room to observe and learn from a mentor? Happy to help her in her craft)
Donnie was very welcoming and warm and put me at ease through the whole process. She explained the process step by step while also taking time to make sure the apprentice could learn and observe. Donnie answered all my questions and informed me on aftercare. She told me when she was about to make the hole and when to take a deep breath. The piercing hurt (obviously. There are a lot of nerve endings down there! Haha) but it was over quickly and I am extremely happy with the result.
I bought a saline solution spray along with the rest and was given a cute paper bag with aftercare instructions printed as well as a business card.
Very happy with my experience. Will likely go back when I get my other lip piercing redone (got a not-so-great job done a different studio...)
The jewelry is also very high quality and you can ask them about materials as well. The staff are very knowledgeable.
My only gripe about the Oak and Poppy is that, to my knowledge, the piercers do not have online portfolios outside of Instagram profiles (I had looked at several of them beforehand) which makes it a bit hard to come in confident about certain piercings. Can't exactly show genital or nipple piercings on Insta or FB. Would help potential clients feel better, I think. Most of the stuff on Insta from what I remember seeing was ear piercings and nose piercings. While I trust Donnie now that I've spoken to her and been pierced by her, the social media accounts of the piercers don't exactly inspire confidence in the variety of piercings available.
Still, I would definitely go here again. Loved it. Absolutely recommend if you're looking to get pierced!

My favorite place to get a professional piercing. I made a reservation online, and was able to choose my jewelry when I got there. Quick, clean, and caring! When my daughter is old enough this is where I want to get her ears pierced.

100% recommend against going here. If you want a quality place to get pierced with people who know what they are doing and care about your experience, try Nathan’s down the street. You’ll not regret it like my sister is regretting coming here. My sister got her nose pierced here a couple months ago and they decided for her to give a long post for fear of inflammation- weird decision as that’s not really supposed to be an issue and every one I know (myself included) have gotten short posts for a simple nose piercing. They then told her to not come back for 6 months, regardless of her wants, before they would shorten the post. Well my sister has had multiple issues with this unnecessarily long post snagging on things, culminating in her tearing it out accidentally when taking off her glasses. Instead of being compassionate, due to their own misguided decision they made for her and offering a discount on a replacement (she couldn’t find the jewelry), they condescendingly told her no and she would need to pay full price. They gaslight her and said that she knows her body better than them and she should have come in sooner to shorten the post, which is the exact opposite of what she was told when getting the piercing. I’m pissed and want to convince anyone and everyone I know to not come here, they only care about their perception rather than their actual practice. And quick note to the business directly- don’t bother responding to me here to save face unless you plan on giving my sister a partial refund due to your shoddy choices.
