How Much does it cost to have your ears pierced at Claires?

Question

I can't find the answer on their website. I want my ears done a second time, and also the cartlidge on my right ear. Anyone know the price? Its not easy for me to get to the store to ask, so i figured i'd ask here. I have nickel sensitive ears and have had them done at Claires before, i won't have them done anywhere else because I know Claires won't lead to infections and loss of my peircings.

I can't find the answer on their website. I REFUSE to have them done at wal-mart ever again, my ear ripped the one and only time i ever had it done there, so NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! I want regular piercings as well as one cartalidge peircing. or should I just have my best friend do it? she did her own and has had no problems.

Answer 1

It depend on what ear rings you get some coast $24 some coast $16 but the pearing is free it is just the ear ring that you have to pay for

Answer 2

I would strongly recommend you consider your health by taking responsibility and learn about piercing, Claire's don't do piercing they use piercing guns.

To start off with people who use piercing guns are not professionals but usually sales assistants who have been shown how to use a gun and given a booklet to read. Professionals are trained not just to punch holes into peoples flesh but also trained in blood pathology and what to do if something goes wrong, from infections to body shock. Aesthetically piercings done with piercing guns are very rarely in place sometimes in totally the wrong areas and other times lopsided at best, the guns often malfunction leaving the stud half way in or hitting the person in the face.

Piercing guns are just that, guns, they shoot a blunt metal stud into the flesh resulting in blunt force trauma, and the groves in the studs do a lot of damage to the healthy tissue of the ear. This can cause excessive swelling that can result in the stud pinching into the skin either side of the piercing that can lead to infection, those groves also add to risk of infection because although clean when they go in they can easily harbour dead skin, bacteria and dirt. Many people also have allergies to the cheap metals used in the studs and piercing with guns not only results in longer healing time but they are also more painful.

Piercing guns are unhygienic, because of the way in which guns are made they have a lot of different places where bacteria and old bodily fluids can linger, the plastic parts of the gun mean they cannot be sterilized. In professional studios all equipment is either fresh from a new pack or sterilized and the studio is similar to that of a hospital room this is because piercing of course is putting a hole into the flesh. When it comes to piercing guns they can easily harbour blood born pathogens such as Hepatitis and HIV.

Cartilage is particularly prone to rejection, infection and swelling because of course it is not skin being pierced, not to mention it is also a lot more painful. Piercing guns should not be used on any part of the body but cartilage is particularly nasty when it goes wrong – my professional cartilage went wrong and nearly cost me my ear, I'd hate to imagine what would happen if a cartilage piercing went wrong with a piercing gun.

Unless your friend is a fully trained piercing professional with access to the correct equipment then of course you shouldn't have her pierce your ears for you, this should be common sense – you don't randomly ask people to punch holes through your skin for you, the same as you don't ask your best friend to perform an operation on you.

Answer 3

NEVER have a non-professional pierce your cartilage! The rates of infection are far to high, and the consequences can be permanent bumps on your ears! Although your friend might not have an infection now, there's a good chance she'll get one later.

Answer 4

usually 20 dollars and sometimes they have that deal where it is free with a purchase of their earrings

Answer 5

$10-$15 but word of advise dont have it done tehre.......i have 3 earrings in one ear and 2 i had done at clairs...they always got infected....when i had them redone elsewhere they didnt...
i dont like claires

Answer 6

I thought it was free with purchase of earring.

Answer 7

sometimes around $30, if you ask me.. you can find some walmarts that will do it for $5 (free with the cost of the earrings). My two older sisters and I all had our ears pierced there and they turned out perfect, although when my friend got her ears pierced at claires it got infected.
