My daughter and I went here to get helix piercings and (for her) her third holes done. Brittany was amazing; she is the epitome of a true professional, with an awesome personality to go right along with it. She put my daughter, who was a bit anxious, at ease. Her focus on quality was apparent and she clearly wanted our results to be perfect (and they are!). I cannot recommend this place enough, especially in the days of COVID. Masking guidelines were strictly adhered to, and the piercing room was spotless.

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! 💜

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..

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!

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.

I got pierced by Eren, who was super sweet and very efficient. They were very patient with me and my friend, and very helpful and willing to answer questions. Their aftercare instructions are easy to understand, and the pricing was very reasonable.

Eren is wonderful! She did both my flat piercings and my friends daith and one flat. She was wonderful and kept talking to us which is nice and she is friendly and super clean place! Prices were great also.

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.

Loved it my daughter got her belly pierced and her nose done..... they are very nice people here....... its not straight by all means but its ok I guess

Brittany pierced my bridge, everything was super sterile and professional, and she did amazing on my piercing!

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.

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.

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.

Always a pleasure to come here.

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!!

I have been wanting to write a review for this place for a while. They are rude and treat customers like they dont need the business.

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!

This place DEFINATLY GETS A ZERO!!!!! I WAS IN CHAMPAIGN ON A SUNDAY SO I STOPPED BY AND I WISH I HADNT!!!!! A COUPLE WAS AHEAD OF ME SO I THOUGH IT WOULD BE QUICK SO I STOOD IN LINE I HAD BEEN STANDING THERE FOR AN HOUR (IT WASNT BUSY)THERE WAS 2 FEMALES WORKING THAT DAY!!PEOPLE DO NOT GO THERE AFTER STANDING THERE FOR AN HOUR THERE CAME A BYSTANDER JUST BROWSING THRU WINDOWS AND RIGHT AWAY 1 WORKER CAME OUT TO GREET HER AND ASKED HER IF NEEDED HELP! HELLOOOO AM I A GHOST!!NEITHER OF THE 2 ACKNOWLEDGE I WAS EVEN THERE!! (BS)👎👎😤

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.

Never go to this place. They will mess up your piercing and make you pay them to fix it. Its people that just watched youtube and think they know what there doing...The only reason for us going back to them was because they would not refund the piercing or the ring. And we had to pay for another ring for them to fix it..

This place is amazing. Went in for an industrial piercing and I absolutely love it! It was my first cartilage piercing and it was nearly painless. The placing is perfect and they have a wide selection of different jewelry to choose from. Very informative on aftercare and Ive had no problems with healing so far. Definitely recommend!

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!!!

So very rude and unwilling to help

I would definitely recommend getting pierced here. I was pierced by Mallory who was very kind and she made me feel comfortable during the process. I could tell she has been doing this awhile because she was very knowledgeable and professional and the piercing was done in no time!

The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and they have tons of nice jewelry options. I stop in here every time I come home to IL.

Sarah is the best! Front of house, the girls are very friendly and helpful. Sarah is an AMAZING piercer. She helped me pick out the piercings that I wanted and walked me through step by step the entire time. Cant wait to come back for more!

I just got a Medusa.. ALL the ladies that were working did an absolutely wonderful job.. I would go there again if I decide to get more pierced.. And Ill definitely be buying my replacements there.. Way to go girls!!.. Awesome experience

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?!

I recently got my nostril pierced and it was such a great experience for me. Everything was very clean, and looked like an actual doctor’s office. They were very informative and straight foward, but made you feel extremely comfortable. I would 100% recommend:)

Best piercing shop hands down! very friendly, very clean, my favorite place to go. Sarah made me very comfortable and did the best job ever. 10/10 would recommend!

I love my navel piercing! I honestly cant stop admiring it! Rachel was the one who did my piercing and she is such nice person and a beautiful woman. Thank you for leading me step by step through the process.

All great! I am glad I went here. Rachel was very pleasant and professional -- made the process relaxed and easy. I agree with other reviewers -- the rooms have a hospital-like feel, hygienic and tidy, which also made me feel more confident in their work. Thanks!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The prices and jewelry was good. Very clean environment. I will recommend this place to everyone. I will also be a repeat customer.

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!

Ive had both my daiths, a chest dermal and my nostril pierced here. Love how friendly the staff is, how clean the piercing rooms/equipment are/is, and the wide variety of high quality jewelry available. I will definitely be back as soon as I decide between doing my septum or other nostril!!

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. ✔💯👌

What a great experience I had today! Sarah and Rachel were extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable throughout my whole nipples piercing ordeal. I was a bit scared & felt very Fifty Shades of Greyish; but I got through it! Thank you ladies ❣️

I came in to get my lobes pierced, Mallory helped me, she was a total sweetheart, the whole thing was quick easy and professional. Will definitely come back again! The clerks, Shelby, and Sarah FONG were also a great help, they knew all the info i needed and made the whole process super simple

These piercings here are high quality. The pain does not chip on these like some of the others you would buy. The staff is also very helpful and nice.

Got my vertical tragus done by Ashlee and it was a great experience! Usually get my piercings done at a tattoo shop but I liked this place better. She fully explained how to go through the healing process and how the piercing was going to be done, felt very comfortable!

Got pierced by Mallory. She was informative, friendly and just all around awesome. Super clean. Will got back for any other piercings.

Awesome, awesome staff!! Super friendly, very knowledgeable, extremely comforting. Sarah and Jasmine helped me get a piercing I have wanted for years quickly and painlessly. I will definitely be going back for all my future piercings!

Their employee Rachel is amazing! She did my 2 ears Piercing and she did it so well I didnt even cry! Shes my favorite. This company has professional people and good vide all around a good trip!!!💜

I went to the store looking for tapers to take my 0g to a 00g. The consultant told me they would gauge me up for a low cost if I purchased a pair of plugs! Very nice!! Pristine clean facility. Jenny did the work for me and I was comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend!

This place is absolutely amazing. Sarah is wonderful! They even include cleaning solution for your piercing (which most places dont)!

The piercer was super nice and informative. She made sure we felt comfortable and explained everything well and even hid the needle so we couldn’t see what was going in our body, lol. Overall great experience on something I was initially nervous about.

I came in afraid to get my lip repierced. Taylor and another woman help calm my nerves and it made me feel better so I decided to get my nose done too. Taylor was the best and if I decided to do it again she will be the one that I would love to do it. Im telling all my friends about it. Thank you Taylor for helping me out.

Awesome Great and friendly staff Kinda pricey but Great promotions they have :)

Great staff. Super chill and helpful. Had a good experience. I like their BOGO piercing deal they got going on right now.Piercing was done nice and quick, she seemed very knowledgeable.

Amazing customer service! Rachel was so kind. I got my nose pierced and passed out but she took great care of me. Thank you Rachel and Team!!!

Staff was so kind. I had mentioned how nervous I was and jokingly said whos going to hold my hand? and while my piercer was getting prepared the other employee came back and politely asked if I wanted her to hold my hand. And she did! So wonderful :)

I love all these girls that work here its clean they know what theyre doing. Ive had multiple piercings from here and not a single one of them hurt one bit! All my piercings turned out rad. These are the pros and they do about anything. Everyone needs to go here and no where else

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 got my piercings two days ago and loved them. Jasmine was wonderful and talked to me the whole time and was wonderful explaining how she does things to the person in training. I will be coming back if I ever decide to get more

They were very kind and answered every question i had very thoroughly.

Mallory did my septum and upper cartilage piercings, AMAZING love this chic!!!!! She is so sweet, funny, and knowledgeable. She actually changed out my tragus earring, A few days prior and she answered all my questions that I had about the septum and cartilage. Its clean, the manager Rachel is AWESOME as well Iove her! Most definitely would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Will be back very soon.

I went and got my wife a dermal. The store was clean the staff was friendly, and my wife loved her piercing. The only thing that was kind of annoying id that you have no choice but to buy their aftercare products. Though, it is understandable for first timer. Otherwise Sarah and the rest of the crue were Aces!

I recommend them 100% I got my nipples done and them made me feel good about my decision.

Wonderful atmosphere and wonderful people! I got a labret piercing from Rachel and she was fantastic! Their aftercare products are great and they have a wide selection of jewelry, definitely recommend!

Used to be the best place to get pierced, loved the environment and the employees who worked there. many of my friends have gotten piercings here, but lately theyve been wanting to go elsewhere. i get it, its obviously not the kind of company you stay with forever, but at least hire people who know at least a little bit about body piercing!!!! my friend told me one of the new people didnt even know how to pronounce septum as well as not knowing what it was!!! how are customers supposed to trust someone who is in a piercing shop who doesnt know what theyre selling!!!yes, i did used to love this place, i always helped by bald woman (i think rachel???) for all of my changeouts and jewelry sales. shes truly mainly the reason i didnt give 1 star. since shes been gone, ive noticed a drastic change in the store atmosphere. no longer super friendly, and no longer the place myself and my friends go to. not only that, prices are continually going up and i know most in this area would rather go to the less expensive shops.marketplace shopping center as a whole is dying, and almost famous is no exception and will be lucky if it survives in this town.

Yesterday I got awesome tragus piercings!!! Mallory was super nice and very professional!!! She made me feel relaxed, and the piercings were done with little, if any pain!!! This is a great place to go for piercings!!!

Sarah is so super nice! Very nice, knowledgeable and helped me get my ring in. I highly recommend her.

Came in to get jewelry changed and they were helpful with everything! Will definitely be coming back to get a piercing!

Went in to get a Rook and Conch. Rachel made me feel comfortable, she explained everything before she did it. Everything was clean and sterile.

This place it THE BEST!!! Its super clean, the staff are so friendly and helpful. If your thinking about getting a piercing go here! This will be the only place I will go.

Very disappointed with my visit. A friend and I went here to get a few piercings and the staff member on shift was very rude and treated us as though we were stupid for not having the proper IDs because were only 15. If youre looking for a friendly service this is not the place to go.

I enjoyed my experience here, got my first nose piercing and the staff was helpful and friendly. So a huge plus!

Sooo glad I went here for my piercings! Everyone was so nice and helpful. Rachel did an amazing job!I will definitely be back!!!

They do amazing customer service and very well trained and amazing deals on body piercings and jewelry as well awesome place!

Very nice!! The piercer who changed out my nose ring was super friendly and she made the process really smooth.

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.

Rachel was amazing!!!! I was nervous to get my daith Piercing and she instantly calmed my nerves!!!! I had an amazing experience and every little detail not only about how the piercing would happen but also the after care was very well explained to me!!!!!

I went in 3 days ago and got both my ears pirced an 8 gauge, sarah was super helpful and it was painless.my gauges kept getting pushed out so i went in and they helped me out.

Great experience getting my ear pierced. Friendly staff! Definitely recommend going here to anyone wanting body piercing!

Bright, clean store and super helpful staff. Rachel was AMAZING and did a beautiful job on my tragus piercing!

I am very disappointed with the quality of jewelry. I purchased two titanium nipple ring and 4 opal ball ends. Titanium is supposed to be the best quality metal because its nearly impossible to be allergic to. I changed my jewelry myself, and began to be very uncomfortable. I figured maybe changing them irritated them so i gave them time to adjust but after 2 weeks of having them in and my nipples getting more and more irritated and sore i put my original rings i got pierced with back in. Immediately they felt so much better. Their jewelry felt like what spencers jewelry feels like. I have spoken to 5 different piercing shops about my issue and they all say theres no way it was titanium. I wasted A LOT of money here. And since they offer 10% off your purchase for a 5 star review i wouldnt trust half of these reviews that where more than likely done at the register for a discount. Beware of this jewelry!

I went to Champaign,IL location today for Monroe piercing jewelry change.They assisted with new jewelry...Very pleaed not sure girls name but changed and hardly knew she had did anything.I have no complaints!

Kind and very helpful will go again

Love that they change the jewelry out for you!

One of the few places

Their nose studs fall apart easily

Megan is the best ❤

Very clean and professional.

Love this place!

Fast and painless

Awesome

Clean and friendly

Just looked

Friendly staff
