Advantages: cheap, plenty to choose from Disadvantages: staff seem miserable
...Claire's accessories is a shop for the females. It's mainly young children and teenagers that shop here but you do find older women here too.
The shop sells:-
hair accessories
nail varnish
belts
purses
jewellery and more
You can also have your ears pierecd here too.
I've been in the shop a couple of times now to buy hair accessories and nail varnish. There is a wide range of items to choose from in different colours.
As soon as you go through the door though, they are lunging a hand basket at you. If you do not take one they do not seem too pleased about it either.
When you are paying for your goods, they always ask if you want to buy the bargain of the day like a nail file. They do not seem to be satisfied with what you take to the counter at all.
The shop is quite small but it does sell plenty of items.

Advantages: good little accessories, good bargains Disadvantages: crowded, staff not always pleasant
...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.

Advantages: No queues as they're never busy Disadvantages: expensive and cluttered
...Claire's accessories moved to Harlow a few years ago, much to the delight of everyone as it was a welcome newcomer being that it was the first specialist hair-care and odds'n'ends shop in the town. Up until then we had to rely on a market stall or small ranges offered by various other shops and supermarkets.
I give it fair ratings that the stuff they offer is in keeping with current trends, keeping today's girls whatever age kitted out in the fashion, but (always a but) the shop needs a little attention in the following areas:
It's not just school age girlies who want to be trendy so how about making it a little less cluttered for us 'mumsies' to get a pushchair around inside without the worry of knocking the person next to you out with the swing of a Tesco's carrier? I've only got a single pushchair so I pity those with a double...
Advantages: a large range of accessories, good bags Disadvantages: the shop is too small, it's overpriced for what it is
...Claires Accessories is a shop MORE for teenagers but adults and younger children do tend to find something in there to their liking. I'm not a regular shopper at Claires and when I go shopping I normall y just have a quick browse and leave or buy something.
Layout and Presentation
Claires Accessories is a very small shop and it is filled to the brim with accessories. Every single wall is covered with shelfs or hooks with bags and other things hung on them. Theres also rotating display racks with loads of earings. The lighiting is okay, it's not too bright nor is it dim. It's a bit claustrophobic exspecially when it's crowded. Presentation wise, it's a bit messy and staff could put a bit more effort into keeping the shop tidy.
Selection and Range
There is a range of accessories in Claires, these are bracelets, neclaces, earings...
Advantages: Very colourful with lots of things instore Disadvantages: Expensive
...Claire's Accessories is, I know, mainly for the kids and teenagers. I shop in here mainly over Christmas time for the kids in my family, but have been known to do the odd bit of shopping in there for myself!
They are not really all that cheap. I have bought 3 hairbands in there, 2 of which have subsequently broken, 1 is still in good working order! The last one I bought cost £2.50.
They also do ear-piercing. The sign outside said from £6.99. Not as cheap as some places, but this store is a national chain store, and would cost more.
When you first look at the store, it's very colourful with plenty of bits and bobs in to buy from hair accessories, purses, bangles nail varnish, bags and jewellrey. They also have reduced and buy 1 get 1 free on selected items.
They have also been known to do fancy dress costumes, ie...
Advantages: Good colour and texture, smells lovely, enhances colour Disadvantages: Expensive for what it does
...Seeing as my hair is now at the stage where it needs a complete rest from dyeing, I have been on the lookout for alternative ways of keeping my red colour a little bit longer. Therefore, when I saw The Big W had a sale on recently, I was happy to snap up this product for half price. (Expect to pay between £3 and £4 for a 250ml bottle normally.)
Te Tao has been a well-known range for quite a while now, but it wasn’t one I had ever tried, feeling the products were rather over-priced. They do a range of shampoos for various hair types (see www.tetao.com for further details) but this one caught my eye because it is a deep, dark orange-red colour and had the word ‘henna’ in it. As you probably know, henna has been used for centuries to dye hair in a more natural way than using bleaches and chemicals.

Advantages: good for role play Disadvantages: none
...I was playing with the Lego police motorcycle at work the other day. I pushed it fast through the streets and my policeman helped the Lego lady find the lost Lego boy. My police man got back on his motorbike and rushed through the Lego streets, there had been a Lego car accident. Then my Lego police motor bile had to go to a robbery he was met by the Lego police car the Lego policemen sucessfully caught the robber and took him to Lego jail.
No I am not getting into my second childhood; I was at work playing with a group of children. I love my job it allows me to play with all the toys.
This Lego police motorbike is a good addition to any Lego set. You can buy it at most toy or toy departments or look on line where you can buy it at http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=7235 . Where it only costs £2.99. I am sure it is available at many...
Advantages: Sales can be good Disadvantages: Tiny shops
...Claire's accessories should only been ventured in when you know exactly want you want,or are basically desperate!
This is mainly because of four things
1.The shops are so tiny, but, are also packed to the brim with stands filled with accessories.Clutter is everywhere and ona Saturday afternoon don't even try it!
2.They try and fool you into thinking prices are cheap but there are usually not.£6.00 for a frame is quite expensive if you ask me, with cheaper things around the check out to suck you in.
3.Whenever you go there the shop is over run by young teenage girls looking at the entire contents of the shop and trying every slide yo every boa on and this is really not goo.Believe you me!(Was i really that bad?)
4.I've heard very nasty stories about the ear piercing and lats face it, they must be sadistic to put every ear piercing...
Advantages: Three for two offers 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 the Gloucester store will know exactly what I mean. The words cramped and Sardines spring to mind. It's not all negative, the staff are freindly, and helpful, always ready to let you know, when you get to the checkout, if you spend another £5...
