Fifteen minutes, a few hundred calories, and a quick Yelp search later, I found myself standing inside of their beautiful Gastown store. First, it's hard not to be smitten by the space itself. Wood, brick, and steel seem to be Gastown staples, and this space blends the materials beautifully. At the same time though, cascading wall plants and some strategically placed trees make the space feel cozy. Factor in the ridiculously comfortable sofa near the dressing rooms, and you just might find yourself inquiring about a sublet. As for the main event, the clothing, the styles are mostly classic (with some welcome twists), the fabrics look and feel expensive, and the cuts are on the slimmer side. You can find everything from t-shirts and chinos to formal suits and sneakers (and pretty much everything in between). And the best part - the prices are actually reasonable. I have to give much deserved kudos to the wonderful staff, who made my shopping experience enjoyable from start to finish. Their patience and assistance while I seemingly tried on everything in the store was greatly appreciated. One final tidbit, make sure to enroll in their rewards program, which gives you back 4% of your in-store purchase for next-time. The credit never expires, and is stored electronically in their computer system for your convenience.

If you are in their store, it is most likely that you've chexked out their website already. My review is based on the customer service I received at the Gastown location. Me being an old dude, I'm use to shopping at GAP where the staff are smiling and super friendly despite on the stupidity of my questions. In this store, I got a blank look when I asked for helped, as if like a regular dude like me don't have clothing questions. The staff was unsure on what products were in promotion which is fine, if I was in their place I wouldnt remember either. It wasn't all that bad, but I just got a negative vibe from the staff almost as if they were lifeless and annoyed. Essentially, Frank and Oak staff in this store really need to smile and greet customers as if they like being there. No attitudes despite on shitty the day is going. The atmosphere in the place felt very snotty which does not make a good shopping experience. Regardless, I will continue to shop here and continue to ask questions so beware staff I will test your patience. I like their products and their prices are fair. Good day to you all!

As the mother of two daughters, I've spent a gazillion hours (and probably a gazillion bucks, too)…read morein Claire's over the years, when we lived in the Seattle area, years ago. My kids got their ears pierced there (a few times each!), TOO many tchotchkes and accessories to count, and I've shopped there after every big holiday as their sales were always pretty darn amazing. The merchandise has consistently been trendy, reasonably priced, and the selection, humongous. I've not been in a Claire's store for years, as my kids are grown now, and I've not been in a Canadian Claire's store ever - until yesterday, that is! I was invited to a New Years eve party with a disco theme. I thought I'd get some inexpensive disco accessories at Claire, as I've passed this Granville St. Claire's so many times, and from outside, it looks exactly like the Claire's stores in the States. I definitely did NOT want to spend a lot of money on items that I'd undoubtedly only wear once, for a few hours, max. Walking in the store, wow, it was such a throwback to my kids' young years, with all the girlie items, of every sort, every trendy theme: earrings, bracelets and necklaces, every type of hair tie/bow/headband/scrunchie, belts and bags, VERY cheap makeup (I'd not recommend the makeup here, IMO), smaller gift items (journals, pens, stuffed animals, etc.), and seasonal/holiday items (Christmas fuzzy socks, smaller stocking stuffer stuff, etc.). They still have all the old promos, too (buy 3, get three free). Even the layout of the store was the same as it was a few decades ago in the States, with the ear piercing station at the front of the store, and the centrally located check-out/cashier counter smack dab in the middle. I immediately asked the girl who was working for any disco stuff, and she brought me a pair of disco ball earrings right away. (It was the last pair here and I probably would never have found it. I was so glad she knew about it and brought it to me right away). I was really surprised at the price, though. Used to be, the stuff at Claire's was really inexpensive. These earrings cost over $12. In fact, I was surprised by the prices of everything here. They are significantly higher than what they used to be. I know it's been years, but even counting for inflation, wow, prices are high for such mass-produced, lower-end items. I saw some blingy, crystal-encrusted elaborate layered necklaces, and a bling-y mesh top and a metal-mesh thin scarf, all of which would be PERFECT for a disco bash - but they cost between $25-$65! Yes, $65! For a very low-end (but blingy) mesh top. Like, what? Prices at Claire's was never this high, not even close. I did find a few things on sale that worked for me: glittery body stickers, some funky disco gloves, and a glittery thin headband, all half off (on sale from $3-$6. Not bad. They always did have decent sales). On the way out of the store, I noticed they had jars of jewelry cleaner (I had been looking for some a few months earlier. I never thought of checking out Claire's for this type of product!). Nice. Ideally I'd rate this store 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up as the girl who helped me was super nice and knew about the merchandise well (bringing me the disco earrings right away), and the store was clean and well laid-out.

Having applied online, I had no idea what store I was applying to, other than what the posting described, which was "LOVE YOUR JOB", and it was right. Having just given up on ever finding a job I actually enjoyed, with a boss that I loved and co workers I liked seeing everything day, I went in with very low expectations. A few months later, I can now say that this store is the best place that I have ever worked. I enjoy coming to work every day, I feel rewarded when I am able to help people from all walks of life get a wonderful outfit that makes them feel great about themselves. This store has a little bit of something for everyone, and the welcoming and supportive atmosphere provided by Corina makes it an amazing place to both shop and work. They have everything that you may need and more, and will happily help you find it. I cannot describe how glad I am to be able to work at such a wonderful place. read more

And so, as a tip of the hat to my top service ninja of the year, I thought it be best to share some new findings at Two of Hearts: 1. Karen has a jewellery line that she sells at the shop! Go buy it and support local crafters and an all around rad person! ...I don't remember the name, because I took a business card and had her write down the specifics on a few pieces. Such organization obviously means I will lose said card within 24 hours. I do however have a note that says: "Sounds like the muppets song Mahna Mahna." Because i'm an adult. So I will take that to the Twitterverse for further investigation. Stay tuned. 2. Hats!! If you are looking for the most fabulous fall hat, go check out the Andre felt hats from Montreal. I debated over mine last January and it is singlehandedly my second favourite purchase of the year (it's tough to compete with the Fiat...) They are an excellent price (under $100), made in Canada and just classic, beautiful pieces. But if you buy the red one in the window before, I will get mad at you. Bonus points: you can't even find this line online for a better price. Tip of the hat 2ofH. 3. Bags! I have beat the s%&t out of my bag over the year - every day, dual laptop wielding and it has survived. Definitely looking a bit worse for wear, but it's held up far better then I expected, considering the price point is so reasonable. Right now, they have super awesome colours like hot pink mailbags & bright red clutches. It's a rainbow money suck! 4. Still with the awesome people. Karen isn't an anomaly here. Honest to gosh, i've had nothing but the most fabulous service every time i've gone in. Everyone who works here is all sugar & spice. ...I still have yet to find any actual clothing that fits me properly here... but I don't care.
