    I was in a bind on the way to a meeting and realized I left my blouse on the hangar at home!! Super stressed out at 9:50 with my meeting at 10 am I found a Ross. When I pulled in the parking lot I discovered this store and an amazing woman opening up shop 10 mins early. I ran in explained I needed a top stat. She immediately ran to the floor and pulled options for me I was out the door in less than 5 mins. Also, my top came out to $3.23. Such a great deal! Thank you amber for all of your help and kindness! I'll be back!

    Do they have Men's clothing?

    yes! and shoes!

    Hi, I'm thinking to sell some clothing. Can you let me know what's your preference? High end, mid end or low end? Is that any preference for summer or winter clothes? Any style preference? More sports or more girly like dress? Thanks

    I wouldn't recommend selling to them at all. They scam you & you won't get hardly any money back for your clothes. You're better off with Poshmark

    I really wanted to give Claire's at Irvine Spectrum better ratings but I just had such mixed…read morefeelings about my visit. It was not my first time at this location. My oldest had also had her ears pierced here not too long ago so I was very familiar with the process and pricing. My middle child decided she was finally ready to have her ears pierced as well so it only made sense I we get it done at Claire's again since I like how it is conveniently located at the Irvine Spectrum. It is very easy to book an appointment online and there's lots of availability for different time slot throughout the day. We booked our appointment for a 12pm appointment, got there about 15 mins early and the gal was happy to assist us right away. She was friendly, she was helpful... everything was great until she told me the pricing for the earrings would be $128, and she pointed to a very small diamond earring that I personally did not like. I asked her if that was the only option for my daughter, and she hesitated and pointed to another diamond or gold earring right next to it, and said it was the same price. She literally made it seem like out of all the earrings displayed in the case, these were the only two options with a single price point of - $128. If you look at a photo on this review, you should be able to see that there were plenty of other styles at different price points that I was well aware of because I literally was just there not too long ago for my other daughter's piercing. I was getting super annoyed so I asked her again if these were the only two options for me, in which she then pointed at the $85 options but immediately told my daughter that the ones she liked were "sold out". Just then, another woman with her child approached the lady helping us to ask about pricing but they were immediately told of the earrings available "at the starting price". My daughter ended up selecting a pair of gold plated earrings for $85. With tax, the total came out to just under $100. IMO, I would've dropped WAY more than $128 for a pair of diamonds earrings if I liked the style and if she wasn't trying to be dishonest about my options. My oldest daughter is considering getting her third piercing but most likely, I will skip coming here again.

She went above and beyond to make the experience special for my daughter, who was excited to use her Christmas gift cards. When we checked out, Susan even let us know we could grab one more item and it would be free due to there special sale. Naturally, my daughter was so happy to bring another cute item home. Thanks for making it a memorable experience for my kiddo! We'll definitely be back!!

Whoever was working the guns with the dark hair and the trimmed dark beard working mainly the left side was a jerk. He didn't seem like he wanted to be there nor cared about anything. I asked him about the gen 5 glocks and he cut me off to say all glocks are illegal to sell in CA. Not what I was asking about and also false. I then was trying to inquire about a Ruger mark 4 and he was rude about how they have them but won't sell them but can order them. I still don't understand what he meant other than out of stock maybe? Anyway. Another customer came up behind me and asked this man a question and he scolded the customer and said he was with me, he was not and dragged me into it for some reason. He eventually got rid of the prospect and I proceeded to tell him I didn't want or need his help and to help the man he ignored. Instead he called up the next person in queue. Ironically enough, an employee was going off on a phone or radio about giving the best customer satisfaction possible lol. I almost said something to him but he was so hyped and happy, unlike mr grumps at the gun counter. Aside from that and what drove me away from purchasing a new firearm that day, the guys working Ammo and the fishing department were amazing. They really showed their knowledge and were a pleasure to work with. I will be back because of them, but maybe sticking to rifle supply for gun purchases.

    Time at register is soooo slowww I think due to number of checkout staff, which is odd considering…read morethe store seems to have a lot of people there. Also had an employee in fishing department be real weird/off putting. A line was strung across an aisle by a kid and he seemed unaware of that when charging through and then stunned we were trying to help him. Vibe is not as warm/positive as other Bass Pro locations.
