However, they were out of the fabric I selected. I later found out, there are no refunds even in the case of the store being out of the fabric I selected. Do NOT expect a refund. They have a NO REFUND policy even in this situation. I had to beg and plead for a refund. And, I had to endure being spoken to in a very condescending, unprofessional tone. Very sad - an apology would ave gone a long way.

Each item is an original and carefully made. She also has a nice selection of jewelry. I ended up buying a cute bikini off of her sale rack, but I will be back to get a trucker hat soon! Her hours are Wednesday- Friday 1-5 pm but people are encouraged to call to schedule a time outside of those hours.

On top of that, they didn't have a bag that fit the hat well so he provided me a Lack of Color garment bag at no charge because this was my first one.

At 41, I really appreciate boutiques that understand style has no age limit, and Tiki Girl…read moreabsolutely gets it. This is one of those rare shops where women at any stage of life can find high quality pieces that feel comfortable, effortless, and truly wearable for everyday life. Most items fall in the $30-$75 range, which makes supporting local feel accessible and realistic. I have made a commitment over the past few years to support local businesses instead of big corporations, and I am genuinely grateful we have a shop like this in Ventura, especially as so many retail spaces are disappearing. The vibe is cozy, cottagecore meets laid back beach town energy, perfectly fitting for downtown Ventura. Warm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated without trying too hard. The kind of place where everything works together, which is honestly a little dangerous. Ashley and Melanie are absolute gems. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely invested in helping you find something that feels like you. Never pushy, never salesy. You can tell they care about the shop and the experience, and it shows. They also carry a small mini-me collection, Sin Min products that smell amazing and feel great, plus jewelry, accessories, and small home decor and stationery pieces that make perfect gifts. The horchata lip balm alone is worth stopping in for. Whether you're shopping in person on Main Street or online, Tiki Girl is a solid go-to when you want something cute, comfortable, and very Ventura. Always support local. Your closet will thank you.

Not usually my kind of style but super cute nonetheless. I have found some fun country styled tees and today I found the most perfect embroidery cocktail tee that I had to snag it. The store is spacious and clothing is nicely laid out. I appreciate that they have multiple fitting rooms and comfortable ones at that. Easy to navigate this store and they do a good job of rotating different trends and styles. The day we came in they also had a good variety of a sizes that I could appreciate. Pricing was fair. As they claim they have different wears between $20-$70. I found that to be true. My shirt was $55 but again nice detailing and unique. Staff was friendly but also not overdone. I appreciate that they give you a hello and then kind of leave you to look the store on your own. However when we did have questions the gal was helpful. Good vibes. Definitely a cute store and it's nice to have a clothing store downtown that tailors to different styles and sizes. While I haven't bought a lot here over the years, when I do find something it's quality and cute, all you could ask for.
