My first experience with this shop was about 6 months ago. There was about 10 guys standing in front smoking. I pulled up with my two kids and asked if they did piercings on kids. My 12 year old daughter has had her ears pierced three separate times at Claire's each resulting in them having to be closed up. Ugh....very fluke accidents the first two times and the third was Claire's fault. However this isn't a review about Claire's....
The Guy who did the piercings said he could re-pierce it in a higher spot and it would be great. Told me to wait about another couple weeks to let it heal a bit more. We came back and they we're getting the room ready while we we're chatting and he mentioned no swimming. My Daughter is on a year round swim team so we decided to wait until December to do it because she would have 4 weeks off of swim to heal. Here it is Dec 1st and I call to get her in and they said they don't pierce kids. 2 months ago they certainly were ready to. I've since then called and spoken to other tattoo/piercing shops and they were very helpful and pointed me in the right direction. Which is another tattoo shop with 5 stars on yelp. In addition I don't use yelp but am grateful that they turned me down. By the reviews it sounds like a terrible place!
