Claire’s Boutique

I needed to re-​pierce my ears having done them 40 years ago and having let the holes close up. I had no idea where to go so I googled ear piercing and Claire’s came up. This location is not far from home, so I decided to check it out.
I came in on Saturday around 4pm and there were several people ahead of me. Rather than wait, I decided to go have an early dinner at a restaurant in the mall and try my luck later when everyone else was probably going for dinner. So I came back at 5:45 and Sabrina was immediately available to help me. The store is rather cluttered (as are many Claire’s stores) and doesn’t appear particularly sanitary so I was a little concerned, but Sabrina showed me how everything was done (things were packaged, sealed and sterile) and I felt confident that there would be no problem
Since I’ve got plenty of earrings at home (I inherited a large collection from my mother), I made a rather plain choice, the stainless steel 4 mm balls on posts. The earrings, piercing and a large bottle of solution to be used 3X a day for the next six weeks cost, tax included, a bit under $ 27. There are other earrings should you prefer something real gold or more decorative at a range of different prices, nothing they offer would break the bank.
The paperwork (there are health regulations and they need your signature for a number of different issues) took the bulk of the time. I hardly felt a pinch when the posts were inserted. It was quick, painless and considering the circumstances, a very pleasant experience. Sabrina was more than pleasant, clearly knew what she was doing and answered any questions I had. She measured carefully, making sure the holes were in the same place on both ears. After she did the piercing, she clearly explained what I needed to do (apply solution, turn, etc) and the paperwork explained everything else.
I recommend this store should you want to have your ears pierced.
