Editor's Take

Walk into any mall in America and you'll probably spot that familiar purple storefront with its glittery window displays. Claire's has been doing the same thing since 1961, and honestly? They've kind of perfected it.

Here's the thing about Claire's - it's not trying to be anything other than what it is. A place where an 8-year-old can pick out her first pair of sparkly studs, where a tween can load up on scrunchies and mood rings, and where a teen can grab some cheap-but-cute accessories before homecoming. Since 1974, Claire's has been the fun fashion destination for jewelry, cosmetics, accessories and ear piercing for tweens, teens and young girls between 3 and 18 years of age.

But let's talk about what Claire's is really known for: ear piercing. Claire's claims it has done more ear piercings than any other retailer, totaling at over 100 million in 25+ years. That's a staggering number. Basically, if you got your ears pierced at the mall between 1990 and now, there's a decent chance it happened at Claire's. They've turned what could be a scary experience into something kind of fun - you pick out your starter earrings from rows of options, sit in that chair, and boom, you're part of the club.

Is everything at Claire's high quality? No. Will that $5 necklace last forever? Probably not. But that's kind of not the point. Claire's occupies this specific niche where kids and teens can afford to experiment with their style, try out trends without breaking the bank, and feel like they're making their own choices about how they want to look. And for a lot of people, that first trip to Claire's - whether for earrings or just to browse with birthday money - is a genuine rite of passage.
