I hate this place so much. They haven’t had a piercer on staff for months. They will gladly sell you the jewelry, but won’t put it in for you. You have to leave the store and put it in yourself. Then if you can’t get it in or it doesn’t fit, you can’t return it! I wish they would close and get a real piercing studio in this mall.

Had the sweetest employees help me out!! Today I came in as a birthday present for myself and the employees were super sweet, patient, and encouraging! I ended up getting two piercings and the piercer was awesome, talked to me about each step while they were doing the piercings. They used the needles for both and was all around great!Would absolutely come again for another piercing, they definitely know their stuff and gave me extra tips on piercing bumps, cleaning, etc!The piercers name is Mack, and the other employee helping with documents was wonderful as well!

BOTCHED PIERCING REFUSED TO REFUND MEI got a horizontal eyebrow piercing with a surface bar and it was very crooked and did not have the correct jewelry. This thing stuck out of my face about 1/4 inch on one side but far less on the other.They did not have any smaller jewelry available so I went to another shop.When I went to another shop to see if we could just replace the jewelry they told me the only option was to remove the jewelry and let it heal entirely.I decided to get the same piercing on the other brow from Amber at No Regrets Tattoo (I highly recommend her!) That one came out perfect.I took out the piercing from Almost Famous the day after I got it and asked for my money back. It took two days to speak to a manager and they said they dont do refunds. The only option was to let them try again. BUT THEY DONT STOCK THE CORRECT JEWELRY FOR THE PIERCING I WANT!!!So, I am out $75 on top off having an extra hole in my face and a lot of pain for nothing.***Clarification***Proper jewelry for this type of piercing has 2.5mm rise to accommodate for swelling, after healing you can switch to 2mm. The jewelry they put in me had a 6mm rise!!

Piercer Eren was super polite and professional and got the two of us in and out in under 30 minutes. They were running a buy one get one deal where my friend and I could split our piercing cost which was great value. Love my new helix! Thanks Eren!

All the reviews accurately depict the harsh reality of this job—its undoubtedly the worst work experience you could ever have. This is particularly true if youre considering applying to the Champaign location, the only one in Illinois. The management seems to have forgotten about us, leaving the staff to manage themselves almost 100% of the time. Working without adequate resources makes the job incredibly challenging.Beware of the managers; they are truly the worst and engage in gossip about the employees. One coworker even assumed the role of manager due to Kates incompetence. Despite the coworkers dedication and hard work in fulfilling managerial duties, management praised him to his face while undermining his leadership abilities behind his back. Our store faced internet issues for months, forcing us to submit our time stamps to Kate, who then proceeded to reduce our pay, leading several employees to resign.The numerous one-star reviews speak volumes about the unfavorable working conditions. Avoid joining this sinking ship, as evidenced by the 20 employees who quit within the first five months of their employment. If youre considering a piercing position, be cautious—they might hire you under false pretenses. The piercing trainers extended absence in North Dakota for 6-8 weeks adds to the deception. My coworker, sent to train as a piercer, was abruptly sent back to Illinois after just one week. It seems they are just hiring and firing people without genuine consideration. Save yourself the trouble and do not work here.

Absolutely love this place! Its clean, the staff is very professional, and there were so many rings and studs to choose from! There was a BOGO sale so my friend and I went half and half and got our Daith done. Such a great deal and Brittany was nothing but amazing! Will definitely be back! 💜

It took 3 trips to get the piercing done. I think you need more than 1 person on the floor in here. Its so busy and there are a lot of steps for 1 person to go through for piercings. The line is long and the wait is not great. The poor girl that was helping us the day of the piercing was overwhelmed and understandably so. When it came time for it to happen Jasmine was wonderful. She was very sanitary, informative and sweet. Overall good experience. Just took a while to get there. :)

Got this daith done in both ears. I cant even describe the emotional waive of relief after the right side was pierced. So much pressure relief and nausea gone. I just sat there and cried tears of joy as the pressure was leaving my head. Literally the best thing I have ever done. Im so happy. Thank you so much and I will recommend you to everyone.

Went for an ear piercing. It was very overpriced and the selection for a simple stud was minimal. They said they could put in a (industrial) bar too if I didn’t like the selection. Keep in mind all I wanted was a simple helix cartilage piercing.I booked an appointment and then ended up cancelling after watching them touch my jewelry with no gloves and drop it and put it my baggie for later. Ended up going to a tattoo parlor I’ve gone to in the past instead.

5/5! I’ve gotten my ears, nostril and septum pierced here over the span of 4 years. Each time has been a positive experience. I got my septum done today by Jack! They were thorough, had another person check to make sure everything was lined up, also had me check to see if I liked where it would be positioned! I felt comfortable and relaxed through the entire process! Entire facility was clean and all of the staff were amazing!

Review №11

They infact did not pierce my nose. I waited for over an hour to get pierced and then gave up and went home. Later, I called and asked when they would be available and went at the time and day I was told. When I got there, I waited once again for over an hour. Multiple people walked in after me and were pierced before I was. I decided to go home and give it one more try. I called again and checked when they would be ready for me. I went in at said time and waited for at least an hour and a half. The breaking point was when I watched a mouse run aross the floor and behind a display case. There were mouse droppings behind it and other cases. This is disgusting especially for a PIERCING store. It is incredibly unsanitary and I left and will never be going back. DO NOT RISK GOING HERE! FIND A MORE PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT! I am so thankful I did not get pierced here. Please, just go somewhere else.

Ive gotten 2 different piercings here at 2 different times. My piercers were really sweet and informative, but unfortunately, both piercings came out completely crooked. My vertical industrial is so crooked and uneven, it causes a lot of pain, and it had to be taken out. My other piercing I saw the back end was crooked and took it out a week later.They bend your ear when theyre piercing, which can leave you with a crooked piercing that doesnt sit well with the way your ear NATURALLY sits, as its being pierced while bent!!The first time was bad, but I got a different piercer the second time and was hoping for good results which I did not get.I will not come back here again, and I do NOT recommend getting pierced here!

Best place to get pierced hands down. The staff is very sweet, informative, and professional. Sarah was an absolute delight! She was very caring and checking in on me every few minutes while doing my multiple piercings. She let me take a break when I needed to and double and triple checked that everything was what I wanted. I felt very relaxed and calm during the entire time I was there. She is very funny and just awesome to talk to. Will definitely being going back and will recommend anyone and everyone that if they are thinking about getting a piercing or need more jewelery to go here!!! Very very Happy about the entire experience!!!

I’ve bee getting pierced at Almost Famous in Champaign for the past 5 years. I’ve gotten my industrial, second piercings on my lobes, belly button, and nostrils done. My last appointment went extremely well, I went in to get a double nostril piercing and my boyfriend was getting his first piercings on his lobes. Jack was extremely kind, patient, and fun to work with. She made sure we got the exact placement we wanted and even stayed after closing time (we were their last clients). I will always recommend this place to get pierced. Plus, they have buy one get one free piercings 365 days a year, every year!

I went and got a peircing here for the second time today. My peircer was Jasmine, and she was so sweet! They give really good advice and the customer service was great. Went in at 11 am, and there were two people ahead of me, and I got peirced at 11:36! They run this place like a fine oiled machine. I got my nose peircing done about a year and a half ago, and I couldnt be happier with how it turned out. Now, I got my doubles in my ears, and the process was so clean and very professional. Love that they give you a private doctors office type room and all the sterilized tools. Also loved the cute gift bag I received as aftercare! its a nice smaller place that will really give you a bang for your buck.

Had Brittany as my piercer. She did an exceptional job at making me feel comfortable. Took her time, was very professional and was extremely friendly. I will definitely go back. The store itself has lots of different options for jewelry. The back where you get pierced is almost like going to the doctors office, it’s that clean and sterile. Hands down the best place to get pierced.

Review №17

I was given the incorrect length post & a butterfly back earring for my new helix piercing so I ended up having to take the earring out & let the piercing close because there was no room for natural swelling to occur. A waste of $70. They dont really know what they are doing here - go to a certified piercer like No Regrets in Champaign, youll save yourself money & pain and they use actual high quality jewelry. My piercer was very nice, but didnt seem confident or that experienced.

Worst experience ever. Very misleading. My daughter boughter an earring and was told it was $35. It rang up $58. We were NOT told the back was sold separately. We tried to return it within 20 minutes (never left the mall) , (never took the earring out of the bag) and they refused.

Do you ever leave a business and feel like you need a shower? Not because it’s dirty, but because of the disgusting customer service you received? I’ve read/heard horrible things about this place and, to be honest, I would not get within 10 feet of a needle in this shop! But I figured it was safe to buy jewelry here... or so I thought.My teen went in to buy a specific size piece. The shop didn’t have the size they wanted, but they were offered something similar (admittedly, they shouldnt have rushed it, but, they assumed the associate was knowledgeable). They bought the jewelry, left, further examined the jewelry, and then realized it was not near the size they wanted after all. We returned within an hour, receipt and jewelry in hand. I explained I understood their policy (there’s a cute sticker on the register), but seriously, could they please at least exchange the jewelry? It wasn’t what they thought it was. It hadnt been worn. It had only been one hour.The ‘manager’ there apparently loves to argue. I think shes had a lot of practice arguing with customers like myself. Really though, she should go into law… or telemarketing. The conversation went something like this:Her: “There are signs posted on every caseMe: I know, I said I understand the policy--I saw the stickerHer: “There’s a paper taped to the counter with text the length of a novella explaining everything…”Me: I did not read the novella.Her: We offer free jewelry switch outs so customers can try the jewelry on and make sure its what they want.Me: Im sorry... what now? We werent told that.Her: Oh, its in the novella...Me: I did not read the novella.Her: Well, you had the opportunity to ask.ME: ...Her: All of these employees have been here less than 2 weeks...Me: Oh? Surely under the circumstances you can make an exception. You and I both know exchanging it now is no different than if my kid had had it switched out here an hour ago... and wed have done that had we known, but--Her: ITS IN THE NOV...Me: Turns and leaves.**END SCENE**She had a choice to work with a customer or dig her heels in to defend the policy that ClEaRlY cAnNoT bE bReAcHeD. Maybe she was trying to make an example of me for her new employees (also, why are there so many new employees all at once?! Can they not keep staff?)? Im not sure.LESSON: 1. Patronize one of the many knowledgeable and qualified locally owned and operated tattoo/piercing businesses in town. 2. Buy your jewelry online for 1/4 the price (its the same quality). 3. Avoid franchised body piercing businesses (red flags galore).

McKenzie did a great job with my cartilage piercing! I also really appreciate all the measures that almost famous body piercing is taking during this time. They took my temp prior to going in and they took my info at the entrance and I waited. I came back and they shortly took me back to their piercing area. It was very clean and the staff were very nice! Would definitely go back!

I love this place! 💖I recently got a labret piercing done here and it was the best piercing experience Ive ever had. My piercing is healing up well and looks amazing on me ;) (thanks ladies!) The store is bright, clean, and very affordable. The staff is friendly, polite, and professional. I also loved how knowledgeable all the staff is about the different kinds of piercings I had questions on. Almost Famous is a very impressive store! My favorite part (besides their many awesome choices of jewelry) was the atmosphere this place had. I will definitely keep going back to this place for more piercings and for jewelry. ✔💯👌

Review №23

I just went in to buy a segmented septum ring, the one I really liked had a smaller diameter than my usual. The girl helping me asked her supervisor and trainer if it would be okay for me to use and the trainer said yes. When I went to put it in I experienced extreme pain, as it was too small. It wasn’t the fault of the girl helping me, but I wish the trainer had been more thorough and I wish I had known more to make sure that she was. The jewelry seemed very overpriced and on top of that no returns. I know it’s really no one’s fault it’s just super disappointing. I might recommend double checking with your usual piercer before purchasing anything, I know I wish I did.

I’ve been here twice and both times Rachel’s done my piercings. She is so awesome and educates you on your piercings and how to take care of them. I definitely recommend coming here it’s so clean and is like a doctors office by far better than a tattoo shop. She got me in 15 minutes before they closed. I wouldn’t want to get pierced any other place definitely recommend Rachel she’s so awesome and sweet and is great at answering any questions you have!

Review №26

I would give them less than 1 star. I called them twice about a navel piercing and was told they don’t take appointments, it was walk in only. When I got there they told me I had to have an appointment and would have to wait 4 1/2 hours. They lady that helped us was very rude. They had very limited jewelry to choose from. I had an employee at Spencers tell me not to go there because they are not professional or clean. I ended up going to a tattoo shop, the piercer there told me they never recommended them because they are all “in training”. So glad I decided not to get it done there. Everyone beware and do your research before being pierced there.

Only rating two stars given that my ear piercings were done unevenly.The employees up front were also a little unprofessional while having a disagreement with one another.Piercing and customer service training would be beneficial for this team.

First time going to this location, they were very kind and welcoming. It was quick, and my piercer washed her hands in from of me more then once while doing the prosses, talking me through what she was doing, and even made sure I was alright after(cause I dont like needles). I will be going back again.

Review №33

Very bright, clean, and sterile environment. Very friendly and clean staff. The reason for the three star review is because the lady, Kayla from Mall of America, had to pierce my nose twice. She had just finished piercing two other septums and had to redo mine. I was NOT happy about this and probably should have voiced how I felt a bit more sternly and taken the jewelry leaving without a proper piercing, BUT I let her finish her job and put the captive hoop in. The piercing is still not straight and is not healing properly. I have been cleaning it twice a day, per their instructions, with their glycerin piercing soap. This has got to be the WORST piercing experience out of all 14 holes in my body. I would recommend purchasing your jewelry from them, but maybe think twice before the girls shove a needle through you, twice.

Review №35

Went to get a piercing replacement for a front cartilage. Looked great, easy to place in, didnt touch it. The piercing jewelry lasted for day. It fell out of my ear and I couldnt find it. The person on the phone refused to replace it even though it wasnt put in properly, said there were no replacements in the shop, and only offered to help if I found it. So irritated that I lost an expensive earring.

Review №36

Been meaning to write a review for here. I had gotten my labret pierced here and it ended up being pierced through the nerve and crooked. The woman who pierced it paused in the middle of the needle going through my lip. My husband got his snake eye piercing done by the same woman and while piercing it, she poked the needle through his tongue wrong, making it poke out in the middle. Instead of taking it out and getting a fresh needle she proceeds to pull it out and jam it back in anyways. Whenever I’ve gotten new jewelry from here they always cause me to swell up in that area no matter if it’s the materials I’m not allergic to no matter what piercing it is, septum, nose, lip, or tongue. It’s all just thrown together in cases, touching each other in piles. Not to mention the workers don’t use gloves to get out the new jewelry out of the cases.

I’m not gonna give them 0 stars because I have never been. BUT I have called twice attempting to get a piercing. First, I wanted a bridge piercing which their site stated they do. They informed me they do not, that was fine. Today, I call to inquire about a simple nostril piercing to be told that “our piercer isn’t in today”. Um, what?? Isn’t this supposed to be exclusively a piercing place? The name would imply so..

Review №53

First off, I didnt get anything pierced, but I did ask a lot of questions. Thats just my nature. I went in with my girlfriend who was buying a new booger catcher as I call it. Nose piercing, L bend style to those less technical. The staff was very friendly, even with my constant barage of questions.I was able to convince my girlfriend to get a hoop nose ring instead of just the plain Jane style. Watching the lady put it in her nose was facinating. She was looking up the nose, down the nose, picking it, squeezing it. Way more work than I ever expected just to put in a hoop. I cant imagine getting other stuff pierced. That would be a closeness and friendship like no other.Overall, it was a meaningful trip. I am sure well be back when I can convince her to poke another hole. Bellybutton next time?!

Improper dermal piercings became infected. Was told by a professional that this was improperly done, and we were advised to contact a lawyer. Do NOT use this place for dermal piercings.In reply to your reply... you would have no record of me, as it was my daughter you pierced. The pic is the results of that poor job. We had to have these removed a mere 3 mos after they were done, and they were terribly infected and have left large scars. The professional that removed them said even the anchor was improper, could not possibly heal right. Do NOT trust these people with dermals.

I’d give this place a one star rating, they had 4 workers today and had no one at the door to take temperatures and the guest would just wait until one of the workers realized there was someone there. As soon as a customer left, they would all go to the register and talk bad about the customer that just left :( They didn’t really go over with anything with us and when we wanted to take pictures they gave attitude and said it wasn’t allowed. But I mean if you would’ve told us before it would’ve happened. I would not recommend this place as there walk in only appointments, you will still be waiting an hour or more until you get your piercing.
