PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

         This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D filed by Claire's Stores,
Inc. (the "Reporting Person") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
September 14, 1998, as amended (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Gadzooks, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Issuer"). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

         Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a)      As of June 22, 1999, the Reporting Person was the beneficial
owner of an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock, which constituted
approximately 2.2% of the 8,896,736 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
June 11, 1999 (as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended May 1, 1999). To the best of the Reporting Person's
knowledge, none of the natural persons named on Annex A hereto beneficially own
any shares of Common Stock.

         (b)      The Reporting Person possesses sole voting and sole
dispositive power over the 200,000 shares of Common Stock.

         (c)      All transactions in the Common Stock effectuated during the
past 60 days by the Reporting Person, and, to the best of the Reporting Person's
knowledge, by any natural person named in Annex A hereto, are described on Annex
B hereto and are hereby incorporated herein by reference. All such transactions
were effectuated for cash in the over-the-counter market. Except as described in
this paragraph (c), neither the Reporting Person, nor, to the best of the
Reporting Person's knowledge, any natural person named on Annex A hereto, has
effectuated any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

         (d)      The Reporting Person has the sole right to receive or the sole
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the shares of Common Stock owned by it.

         (e)      On June 22, 1999, the Reporting Person ceased to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock.
