I liked Zara and she did my flat and stack piercing for me. She was professional, kind and very informative about aftercare. I picked a piece of jewelry that was on the more expensive side, but still reasonably priced compared to some other stores I have looked at. It definitely doesn't seem like they are trying to overprice things. This is the place I'm coming to for my future piercings without a doubt.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

She was back and forth, but now at 7.5, she decided she was READY. She almost convinced my husband to do it at the mall, but I'm glad they didn't. I heard about this place from other moms at her school, and I'm so glad we went. They squeezed us in immediately and were just great. Always spoke directly to my daughter, explained the process. Went though jewelry, explained all of that. I didn't get the name of the person who did the piercing, but he was amazing. He described everything to her, had her do deep breathing. It was done quick while also taking his time with everything. She felt secure and brave, I'm just so happy with her experience! I will definitely be going back after looking at some tattoo work as well, it all looked great.

It's been about a year since I've got my 2nd piercing in my ear here at studs…read more I can give an honest review. We did chose to do it a little bit cheaper by allowing a student to pierce us. It was about 25 dollars cheaper. The earrings were very expensive I thought, but we just paid what was required. The process was relatively easy. Make an appointment, show up sign the paperwork and then get pierced. My best friend and I both got pierced on the same day, my piercing was in my ear was my second hole and hers were other places on her ears and Cartilage. The process wasn't bad but the AFTER for both of us was horrible. My earrings kept coming out and I had to get them replaced several times. And for her, both of the places on her ears had piercing rejection and they both had to be pierced again at a different place. The shop is clean and it's convenient but I wouldn't go back. Ever.

In situations like this, many piercers are hesitant to help, but he showed true professionalism and compassion and didn't give up until it was out. The relief was instant. His kindness, patience, and willingness to help someone in need truly stood out. I'm incredibly grateful and would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for artists who genuinely care about people, not just business.
