So, the other day, I got it in my head that I wanted to get another piercing. I’ve had my ears pierced since I was a kid, but I was thinking something new, maybe another hole in my ear or even my nose. I heard Claire’s is a popular spot for this kind of thing, so I figured I’d check them out.
First off, I went to one of their stores near me. It’s a pretty standard-looking place, lots of sparkly stuff for teens and kids, but I was there for one thing: piercings. They have a whole display of earrings and a little sign saying that the piercing is free if you buy a starter kit. I mean who don’t want free things. So I asked one of the workers, a nice young lady. She explained how it all worked.
She said the starter kits start around 30 bucks, which includes the earrings and the aftercare solution. So, basically, you’re paying for the earrings and the cleaning stuff, and the piercing itself is on the house. Not a bad deal, I guess. They’ve got a bunch of different earrings to choose from, too. I spent a good amount of time picking one out, which is silver and simple.
Here’s how the process went down:
- Choosing the Earrings: Like I said, I picked out a simple silver stud from their selection.
- Filling Out Forms: They had me fill out some paperwork, standard stuff, I guess. Name, contact info, the usual.
- Getting Pierced: The lady used this little gun-looking thing to pierce my ear. It was super quick, just a little pinch, and it was over. I also asked her about the nose piercing, she said that’s available too, but I decided to stick with my ear for now.
- Aftercare Instructions: They gave me a bottle of their aftercare solution and told me how to use it. Basically, clean the piercing a few times a day to keep it from getting infected.
Honestly, the whole thing was pretty easy and quick. I was in and out in like 30 minutes. So, if you’re thinking about getting a piercing, Claire’s is an option. It’s not super fancy, but it gets the job done. Just remember, the price really depends on the starter kit you choose. I ended up paying around 35 bucks for mine, but I saw some that were more expensive. Oh, and I also overheard someone asking about pricing, and the worker mentioned it can vary by location, so maybe call ahead if you’re curious.
Overall, it was a pretty smooth experience. My ear’s a little sore, but that’s normal. Now, I just gotta remember to keep it clean. We’ll see how it goes, but so far, so good!
