I know a lot of people that when you say Claire's Accessories they would say oh that shop for teenagers but it isn't for them only, it's for girls in general. Females I should maybe say it sells a lot of things that are not too expensive but very nice still. From the branches I have been in I have seen them sell make-up, nail accessories, bags, books and so many things.

This shop is not only in the UK because I saw t in America so I don't actually know where it started. One main thing I know this shop for is piercing ears they are trained I'm sure but I don't think I could trust anyone. They pierce ears usually right at the front of the shop and everyone can watch, they will probably be fine but they could do it away from the customers buying and I have heard that not all of the staff here actually know how to pierce.

I love Claire's accessories for the jewellery I recently bought a birthday present for someone here it was a lovely necklace and they still wear it. The earrings here are great you can buy just one pair or many on the one tag. There are nice notebooks to buy which have nice fur outides and there are mirrors hair accessories lots to buy. The prices can be anything from £1 to £10 bags are no more than this. When there is a sale here you can find some great bargains but I haven't experienced one ina while because I haven't been in but I used to get nice earrings. They have specific earrings for sensitive ears and so on.

The staff in this shop are ok but they are not very friendly and helpful like in other shops. I feel they could be a bit nicer but I suppose it depends on what shop you actually go into. From the shops I have been in they say hello but in a cold way. The appearance of the shops are usually nice but I feel they are always very squashed together lots of stands and to close together it should be spaced out more. Also thee can be a lot of items on the floor which makes the appearance horrible to look at.

One thing this shop doesn't sell are clothesbut it is for accessories and when you have no categories under that word it means pretty much everything a girl could want. I think that every town has this shop because I have visited a lot of places in the UK and I always see a Claire's accessories in the city centre or shopping centres. The logo is quite easy to see usually the word claire's in white on a black background.

The shop has a website so you can find out more this site is: http://www.claires.co.uk

I like this shop though for little things I wouldn't use some things because they are for very young children but some things can look nice if you are not wanting to spend a lot of money but wanting something decent. The music in the shops is usually good and I know most people walk into this shop because because they like what's playing on the television in the shop.

Nice op, I have been dragged in here a few times! At least you stated it is for females, not really my thing, Martyn! :-)

Two of my daughters had their ears pierced at Claire's. The shop is also the only UK distributor for Neopets products!
