    Advantages Advantages great 10 items for £5 offers

    ***CLAIRES*** There are over 3,000 Claire's Accessories stores world wide. The UK has over 380 stores nationwide situated in many shopping centres and high streets. Claire's sells products aimed at teens/young women. Claire's are also specialists in ear piercing and carry out millions of ear piercings annually. www.claires.co.uk ***STORE LAYOUT*** This review is based mainly on the two stores in Plymouth however as all stores are very similar, well especially those I have been in I will try and generalise. This is the worst part about Claire's, the stores are all so cramped. I have been in ... more

    5 Stars Claire's from the side lines. 11/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Friendy staff, good bargains.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive products.

    Claire's Accessories, affectionately know as just Claire's is one of the UK's leading Ear piercing specialist, with over 3000 stores in this country and 80 million ears pierced worldwide. ***Shop Layout**** Having spent most of my teenage years and now my twenties in 5 of the closest stores available to me, i can honestly say the shops are small with exception to their Outlet stores which are about a foot or two bigger, not much room i hear you all say, and yes its true there isn't. However, on many occasions i have noticed that the towers (normally there is 4 or 5 such towers located in each ... more

    3 Stars Claire's is still ok but no better than that 05/10/2011

    Advantages Advantages Good selection of stuff, great for kids

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price mainly and cramped shops

    Whenever I think or Claire's I think of pink and tiaras! I go in Claire's as part of my shopping routine every week and its become a bit of a habit and if I miss it out I feel like I've lost something! On the positive they always have lots of offers and they usually have things like 5 items for £5.00 in my local store so usually I do end up bagging a few bargains! The way the store is laid out makes sense and is easy to mix and match stuff etc. If I need something for an occasion I know I can find it in Claire's as they do a great range of novelty items and dressing up bits and pieces. On the ... more

    3 Stars Claire's piercings - is it worth the risk? 20/11/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap accessories, great for dressing up and stocking fillers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Piercings are unhygienic, often go wrong and performed by inadequately trained staff

    Luckily for me, I have never had a piercing performed at Claire's - I only venture into this shop for cheap costume jewellery, fancy dress items and little treats for my daughter. However, I do know people who have been pierced here, I have friends who have worked at these stores and, most significantly, I have completed four months of cross-contamination training as part of a piercing apprenticeship. I'm not saying here that ALL piercings will go wrong, that every piercee will get an infection or that all Claire's staff haven't been trained enough...I am saying that it's a big gamble and I ... more

    Advantages Advantages good returns policy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages small shops

    Claires accesories is a great shop for adults and children alike. It is for all kinds of girls, great if you're a goth or all girly girly. There is a wide range of jewellery to suit the budget concious and loads of nice little accessories such as handbags and purses.

    3 Stars Claires Accessories - Gloucester 02/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Three for two offers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Layout of shop needs revising. Far too cramped.

    Claires Accessories is a great place to shop, especially if you're thinking of buying a gift. I do think, however, some of their products are a little pricey, and I tend to look for something similar elsewhere. It's great when they have the three for two offers. Although, a lot of the stock they promote, and mark down in price, tends to be a little on the garish side, and I have noticed the products that are not sold in the sales, crop up time after time, looking old and tatty. The shop is far too cramped, and I think they seriously need to revise the overall layout. Anyone who has shopped at ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Makes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expencive, Often Breaks

    Claires acsessories you would think would be amazing for them great girly presents or just a nice treat. YOU WOULD THINK.... Claires acsessories is a shop mainly aimmed at them young girls who are just comming into make-up and jeualry they also offer ear peircings. The claires stores are often messed up small and stuffy often if you have 3 people or more in the store along with the staff you are stuck there is too little space for too much junk. The girls of 7 - 13 would not be very bothered on spending £5 on a nice braclet with a thing saying "I Love Troy Bolten" but when you can proberly get ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor quality, Staff unhelpful

    I was recently returning something to a Claire's in Glasgow and was surprised by service I received. The girls working there were having a gabber on a busy Saturday morning. One poor girl was serving whilst seemed oblivious to the customers. I tried to return a set and they were very rude – like it was my fault that it fell apart! The girl said she would need to get her manage who was no mood to finish her goss. My blood was starting to boil at this point. Eventually the manager came over and I had to repeat the entire conversation I’d had with the Saturday girl. Again the implication was that ... more
