Mum horrified at the price of Claire's Accessories ear piercing for her daughter

A mum was left horrified when she saw the price of ear piercing for her daughter at high street store Claire's Accessories. Many of us broke our piercing virginity there in the 90s and 00s, but some people have been left taken aback by how much some earrings now cost at the retailer.

Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains group, Steph Bagley said: "Went to Claire’s to ask about costings of ear piercing for my daughter. The earrings she picked would have been £65. Went to Superdrug, same earrings £32!"

Her post has now sparked a fierce debate amongst parents, and people are divided. Natalie Scott commented: "I went to my local piercer (absolutely will not go to Claire’s) was 35£ with earrings and it was done with a needle she didn’t even flinch."
