We used Claire's once upon a time for my daughter's first ear piercings when they were babies and now that they're teenagers we're back for second ear lobe piercings! For the record, I tried to find a piercer that used a needle instead of a gun- no one was available and I had to get it done today so my daughter had time to heal before having to pull them out for a tournament. From start to finish, everything was clean and professional.. A huge shoutout to Lia, who did the piercings--she was so kind, patient, and reassuring throughout the whole process. She explained each step clearly and helped my girls feel totally at ease. read more

Good place to get jewelry for events like prom or Halloween, but definitely not the least expensive option. I love the selection of items at Halloween especially! They definitely cater to the pre-teen and teen crows, with lots of licensed items, trends, and things like plush and backpacks. Definitely join their rewards program and look out for email offers. This maximizes your value by layering sale offers with reward certificates. It's a good place to get a gift for a younger friend or relative on your list. This is a smallish store, so maybe not quite as much selection as a few of the other locations. The employees are all friendly & helpful, and they can help explain the exclusions and rules for the sales, etc. read more

I had the pleasure of being greeted and helped by Lia on my visit. She helped me find an item and finding what I was looking for she offered to hold it for me while we went to another store. Great customer service, smile and perfect personality. read more

Honestly even as an adult I LOVE this store. I do NOT recommend ever getting your ears pierced here because I promise they will get infected and scar (go to a real tattoo shop to get clean piercings), but everything else here is so cool! I wanted to buy it all. read more

The ladies who pierced my daughter's ears treated her like a princess and made her feel so comfortable. I highly recommend this store!!

Great experience would recommend to my friends. I bought the pearl earrings at the time of my ear piercing.

Lia is great at ear piercing, she is super helpful and friendly (she wears the cutest vintage sweaters) and she handled a whole store full of people with patience and ease. This was the second time we have had my daughter's ears pierced at Claire's. Both piercers paid great attention to disinfection and earring placement and we have not had any problems. We spent about $10 more to get the stronger formula ear cleaner and $10 more to get the 14k gold studs- the less chance of infection/reaction the better. Cost was about $90 for everything and includes a year long membership for 1 free pair of earrings per month of our choice- up to $17 value or so. All in all, great experiences. read more

Got my first ear piercing here last night and I am happy! I came in around 7pm last night and the shop was pretty busy. There were lots of kids and the shop is pretty small. The customer service is good and were helpful when choosing different earrings. The actual process was very quick. I got mine pierced one at a time but you can also get them both done at the same time. It took 5 minutes for the piercing and demonstration on how to clean your ears. The total cost was $70 including RAPID SOLUTION (in 3 weeks i can change), the piecing process, and 4 mm CZ diamond earrings. Overall I would come back to Claire's but not necessarily this location. read more

This is my first visit to a Claire's in YEARS. I usually get my fun, junk jewelry at Macy's or H&M. I was looking for a hair piece for an upcoming wedding I'm in. Walked in and I was surprised to find so many options. I was specifically looking for a silver piece and was deciding between a headband or a flower clip. Unfortunately, most looked cheesy and cheap (glitter was coming off), but what do you expect when you're in a hurry and shopping last minute? Most pieces were less than $10, and they usually have sales. I deferred my decision so that I can bring my shoes on my next visit. read more

I believe the girl who pierced my friend and I was named Lia. She was so sweet and professional. Truly made the experience worth it.

I confess, I never shop at Claire's. I feel embarrassed to feel like the mother of everybody there, however taking from the hands of innocent little girls some accessories yelling 'is mine, mine and I saw it first". That would be too much, so when I go, I just pretend I am shopping for my niece who is several countries away from me...But I also have to confess that I have an addiction for getting anything 'tower Eiffel' related, so while waiting to get a spot at the newly opened Cheesecake Factory, I went to see how many Eiffelettes I could score. And gome some cute charm-bracelets for $9.50 with the most unbelieveably cute Parisian theme useless adorabilia, as now I like to call all these little pleasures that serve to nothing. Claire's is a nice shop (for young girls mostly) but hey, if you don't like to spend money in frames (glasses) in expensive real optic stores and you like color and whimsical, nothing can beat these $6 glasses here! They are supposed to be for teems, but I tried some and looked good on me (sorry to say). Is a pity that they did not have my red color, otherwise I would have gotten several pairs. You can always go to the real optical store or Costco with your prescription and put the real lenses on them! (useful adorabilia in this case:). read more

I would leave 0 stars if I could. I made the mistake of bringing my 8 year old daughter here to get her ears pierced spur of the moment and after 10 months her ears are still not healed and always have puss/feel tender. Trust me -- It really is worth it to just go to a piercer at a tattoo shop. I seriously regret bringing her here and my daughter is probably going to have to take her earrings out, let her ears heal, and HOPEFULLY will get the courage to get them pierced again by an actual piercer. Don't do it!!!! read more

I hit up Claire's on Friday for some important costume components... tiara, sash, etc. They had what I needed although I might have tried the sash on before I bought it. It was six year old girl sized, but hey, I'm easy... I made it work. The thing I love about Claire's is they have almost every accessory you could want and if they don't, they at least have something close. Plus, it's so SPARKLY there! The prices are mostly reasonable. Some might be a little more than I'm willing to pay for costume jewelry, but they usually have a lot of clearance and the regular priced items are usually fairly priced. The staff in this store is friendly and helpful. read more

My friend and I went in to Claire's to get extra piercings in our ears. After the procedure, we were instructed how to clean, and provided with a disinfectant solution. How ever- almost 6 month later our piercings have not healed and they are red, infected and swollen. We both been using the solution, but switched to hydrogen peroxide, since that's what worked when I had my first piercing 50 years ago. I believe the instrument used was dirty! We have followed to disinfection instructions. I do not recommend this store! read more

My wife comes here to get earrings and other cheap jewelry. The prices are cheap but the store is pretty small. read more

I came here to get my second lobes re-pierced. After being in the military for 5 years, they had grown up. I marked where I wanted the piercing to be and it was still screwed up. Not on the dot at all. I pulled my earrings out in my car and re-did them myself when I got home. You can find cheaper, better made, surgical steel earrings online. Even an at-home ear piercing kit that you can do them yourself for better quality. Basically you're over paying for a half-decent bottle of solution. I recommend going to a professional piercer at a tattoo shop. read more

This is acccesory heaven! Everything imaginable is here and very reasonable. Best place to bring a tween when they want something!!!

There items are a little cheep but lots of cute things. I got my friends ears pierced there 2 twice and the lady messed them up both times so she had to take them out and wait Thor then to heal them do them again read more

I do not recommend shopping at this location unless you're willing to pay cash. The associate that was working with me to complete the sale was not Helpful at all. There was a card reader malfunction And the associate was not willing to switch over to the other register that was right there to make the purchase. The only saving grace of this location is that they sell Q items read more

I got my cartilage pierced here a couple months ago with my friend. I was bit nervous because they used the gun to pierce ears. Ive heard that if you pierce your cartilage with a gun, it can shatter it. The lady who pierced me and my friends ear was very informative which calmed me down. After she pierced our ear, she told us how to clean it and how long we would need to keep the piercing in. Tbh, all it felt like was a small pinch. The next couple days, I thought it got infected because it got really swollen but then a week passed by and it was all good. I would definitely go back to get my ears pierced again. read more

I brought my 4 year old here to get her ears pierced. Patsy was the girl who did it and she did a great job! She was friendly and skilled (and patient, which always helps!) and explained everything clearly, including after care. It's been a couple weeks and the piercings are doing well, and the earrings have both managed to stay on. I was worried the earrings would fall out, or my daughter would manage to fidget them off, but I've only had to tighten the backs one time so far. With the three-week healing cleaner (as opposed to the less expensive 6 week healing cleaner) I paid $66, and then I got some extra little perks as well, like 20% off my total purchase (not including piercing). read more

My wife loved going to Claire's , the store by itself is a 5 . But customer service received from STEFANIA was terrible. My wife was so nice to let it go but I won't. You don't have the right to raise your voice on a customer. We are your clients and we give you business , so just a little respect from you is not so difficult or is it? read more

SO BAD. Omg I have never been so upset with customer service before. I was getting my ears pierced and STEPHANIA clearly had no idea what she was doing at all. It made me feel uneasy and I left. I will no longer be returning. They have forever lost a customer. I recommend no one get their ears pierced there especially by STEPHANIA. read more

You probably will do better piercing your own ears than letting any of these people pierce them. My piercings are so uneven and one of my ears closed so I went back to get it repierced and in an attempt to try to make them even the lady left me with a huge hole in my ear because she pierced it in a completely different place than where it was before. She also put the back of the earring on so incredibly wrong (don't know how you can mess that up) that I literally cannot get my earring out of my ear. Whoever trains these people needs to be fired ASAP read more

I made sure I bought what the salesgirl said were 14k earrings when piercing my daughter's ears. There is no way the quality of gold or concentration of gold is 14k. We've cleaned them as recommended and both lobes are infected and have been bleeding for two months. I finally gave up and took the earrings out. It's been a traumatic experience for my child. I don't trust this place or the quality of the earrings sold here. read more

worst service i have ever experienced anywhere!!!! sales clerk was rude and condescending....never have i had such a rude sales clerk. i would have walked out but it was my daughters first time getting her ears pierced and i did not want to disappoint her, otherwise i would have never given the place my business. i have gone to claires before but will never return....its unfortunate how one sales clerk can slander the name of a company. read more
