Claire’s

For my 60^th review I’m going to talk about Claire’s, it’s a very small store packed with all kinds of neat trinkets.
After the disaster that was our trip to Macy’s (previous review) we were still lacking a mothers day gift for Sunday and decided to stop into Claire’s to poke about and see if we could find anything owl related, right at the start we were greeted by an employee named Kylie, she was great, showed us what we were looking for and explained some sales to us, she even convinced me to buy something I was on the fence about while we were at the register.
Great and friendly customer service for a hectic day of errand running made-​up for what we delt with in Macy’s.
Maybe Claire’s and Macy’s should switch stalls.. .that would be awesome.

If you are a dude shopping for gifts for your sister/​chick/​mom/​etc… Talk to Jamie, she will hook you up big time!!! She’s super friendly and knowledgeable.
Thank you Jamie, my sister is psyched on the earrings you helped me pick out for her!!! Cheeeeeeeee

Only one person on staff during a busy afternoon but Samantha was great! Lots of cute jewelry and trinkets for everyone!

This is for the Uptown location of Icing. Was in the store for about 10 minutes and mind you there were only 2 workers in there and me. No one else. I walked in and the 2 workers there were talking up a storm. No hello just jibber jabber. I was looking at some clutches they had and the workers continued to talk as if I wasn’t there. One even left to go to the back and still not even acknowledged. I walked around some more to see if anyone would say anything to me. The one girl there did look at me but never said a word. I walked around some more then decided yup, not spending my money here. I like the downtown Icing location a lot better! The staff there are friendlier and extremely helpful!

I love this little store! They have tons of cute random things beyond just jewelry and hair accessories. They have some pretty cute jewelry holders, and useful things like card cases, bedazzled USB chargers, and really cute phone cases (if you have an iPhone or Galaxy – sorry everyone else).
Everything is also really reasonably priced, and the store is spacious compared to the regular Claire’s stores. It has less of the «kiddy/​tween» merchandise that the regular Claire’s stores have.

Hopefully I’m reviewing the one on the Downtown side of pearls. Anyways, Walk in here; you’re greeted every time! Customer service is always so friendly. Probably the most upbeat set of workers I’ve ever had an encounter with.
But it’s kind of pricey in there. Other than that though, I have nothing less to say.

There is only one real reason to come in this store. They have the cutest hair accessories. As I’ve told my fellow Unilocalers at events, the hair accessory can make the outfit!
Whenever I need to come up with a costume for a Unilocal event, this is definitely a stop. I’ve been athena, I’ve plunged into the 20’s, anything!
I just wish the sales associates were a little more attentive. Granted it’s pretty easy to find stuff by looking around. Occasionally they have house stuff that I love but do not have prices or are being used as part of the display that I would like.
Also my pet peeve about claire’s: they have fifty shades of grey merchandise! this «novel» is not meant for the demographic targeted at these stores (preteen girls). We should not be enabling these women to wear jewelry that resembles handcuffs. [Steps off soap box]
Claire’s does it job, but is not a store I would normally peruse

Terrible Customer Service from the manager. My daughter had her ears pierced and received a $ 10.00 Claire’s buck coupon when we went to redeem it the manager told me where is the receipt? I told them I don’t have it I wasn’t told I need it. Her response was, «Yeah, we sometimes forget to tell everybody.» after that it was Just terrible attitude. Then I remember why I haven’t gone in there since high school. The place is clutter and the customer service needs to be trained I realize they are young and are small kine dizzy but need to remember the smallest gesture goes along way. I was fine when I walked in but by the time I walked out I could feel the Maeda coming out of me. So for the sake of my daughter not seeing her mother getting arrested I had to keep my composer, set the example and keep walking…

CLUSTERED!
When I see a store so clustered, it turns me off. I went in for a mission, and that’s pink suspender. It took me and the sales associate a while to find it. But mission accomplished. However, I felt so overwhelmed by everything and bumping into things that I just had to pay and get out. But when in doubt you looking for a specific accessory, you’ll probably can find it at Claires.
31 Unilocal Review Challenge: #10/​31

Aight so this might seem weird reviewing this place because I am a guy but I am a Unilocaler nonetheless so here it goes lol. Me and a homie of mine went down here to get our ear pierced with a female friend of ours. Yes, it was purposeful and intentional that we bring a person of the female persuasion to accompany us. The staff and customer service was good. They had a nice selection of pierced earrings and the prices were decent for them. They give free piercings for a purchase of a cleaning kit and the earring itself. They use the gun to pierce your ears and it wasn’t that bad. There was a small little girl in before us and she took it like a champ like it was nothing. Her mom was so proud of her and it made us proud too at the same time. Other than that they have choke accessories from earrings to hand bags to flashy glasses. It is all mostly geared towards the female persuasion but nonetheless this place is hecka poppin’ with trendy stuff. It’s conveniently located in the downtown area of Pearlridge right by HIC and Burger King and Footlocker. They have 2 other locations too up in the Uptown Pearlridge area with a small shop and small kiosk.
Unilocal 365 Challenge #112/​365

I like coming to Claire’s for all of my accessories needs. They often have sales like buy one, get one that is normally a good deal. Although I do think that some of their accessories are sort of pricey for the quality you get.
I recently attended Unilocal’s Harajuku Elite event and was able to find many accessories for our outfits there. Not too long after that, I went to a fascinator themed going away party for a former co-​worker. I wanted to be the Kate Middleton of the party but I had no clue where to get a fascinator. I thought I had to purchase one online off of ebay or go to Ben Franklin and get crafty with some feathers and such, but I didn’t. Claire’s had such a good selection that I couldn’t decide which one to get! I wanted to go with peacock feathers, then I wanted to get the mini clip hat, then I changed my mind and couldn’t decide if I should get the headband. In the end, I was satisfied with my choice and was glad Claire’s had just what I needed rather than ordering something online, paying for shipping and hoping it gets here on time.
Whatever the occasion, I’m sure Claire’s will have the accessories that will spruce up your outfit and take it to the next level!

I love coming to Claires. Why? because they have a lot of accessories to choose from. When they have sales for their accessories such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. it’s always at 75% off after the holiday so you can go wild and have enough accessories for the next one. All of my Christmas accessories are from here in which I’ve collected over the years. I love the fact that their earrings can are sensitive to accommodate people such as myself who have a hard time wearing costume jewelery earrings without getting allergic to them. There is no problem at Claires. Its also great when you catch their sales of buy 10 for $ 10. You do have to look at the original price to make sure that it is regularly under $ 10 or you will pay what the marked price is on it.
One time I was in the store I saw a girl get arrested for stealing. I mean seriously just buy it, it’s cheaper than stealing and going to jail and having it put on your record. I tend to see security in this store a lot I guess people have itchy hands and need to take something from here rather than pay for it.
The staff is always nice to me no matter what location I go to in the mall. I will definitely be back especially after holidays.

When trying to do some returns here, was informed that ANYTHING with rhinestones or «pearly» jewelry cannot be returned. If you are absolutely sure you want what you buy, then it should be no problem, but make sure you are sure.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this store. Although, my bank account doesn’t so much. I can’t walk in without buying a ton. They have such cute accessories and always have new stuff in. The staff is all so nice and helpful without being pushy sales people. Very clean and organized unlike some accessory stores.

There are 3 different Claire’s and Icings by Claire’s located in Pearlridge. This one is located in Downtown. It is the largest and most spacious. It is well laid out and doesn’t feel as cramped as the other two locations on the Uptown side.
There is a ton of accessories to peruse and the workers her are very friendly and helpful. But at the same time, they don’t follow you around like you are a criminal, making sure you aren’t shoplifting. There is a ton of cute jewelry, purses, hair accessories, etc. It is mostly trendy things geared towards t he younger crowd but I think that you can find something here if you are 8 years old or even 80 years old if you just look around.
