Claire's is a long-standing store for piercings and accessories. The experience varies by visit and location. Some find it a lovely and totally worth it experience, especially for ear piercings. Employees can be awesome, friendly, helpful, and very patient with scared children. The store is clean, well-organized, and offers many piercing earrings, using a small gun. They provide a cleaning solution and valuable coupons. However, service is inconsistent, as some employees are unhelpful, refusing assistance while distracted. The store's hours can also be unreliable, with unexpected closures.
