My mom and I got our noses pierced a few days ago and everyone was so kind and treated like they actually mattered. My piercer was Julia and she was so nice. We didn't like our first choices on and she was so willing to change it for us. I love this place. I will come here for every future piercings. The photo is of my piercing. read more

Almost Famous Body Piercing - My nose piercing - Piercing Near Me - St. Cloud, Minnesota

My daughter went to get a belly button piercing with a friend.. she came over and I knew it Didn't look right. I took her to a different place and had them look at it. The guy started apologizing saying that his employee did a horrible job. I didn't say anything. He said it was really off center, the wrong type of ring, and it was not tungsten metal like they told her it was! So I paid the place to fix what 'Almost Famous Screwed up on!!! I told him where she went and he said they get a lot of people that go to his place because Almost Famous doesn't know what they are doing.. Pretty sad they would not listen to my daughter when she called to let them know that they screwed up... Avoid this place!!!! read more

I went to their Waite Park location. I was told that they legally have to sell me aftercare products even though I told them I already have products, yet per the mn.gov site regarding state body art laws including piercings, the following is all that is mentioned for aftercare and proves that claim untrue. "Subd.5. Aftercare. A technician shall provide each client with verbal and written instructions for the care of the tattooed or pierced site upon the completion of the procedure. The written instructions must advise the client of the difference between normal skin or tissue irritation and infection and to consult a health care professional upon indication of infection of the skin or tissue." Other than that issue and being charged separately for earring backs, the attendants were very friendly and helpful and my piercer Iris did a fantastic job. She was very professional and I'm highly satisfied with my rook and mid helix piercings. read more

LOVE the ladies who work here. I had my lobe stack, rook and conch done here over the last few months and wouldn't go anywhere else. They were patient and informative as I chose which piercings and jewelry I wanted. The piercer was informative and told me each step as she pierced, she answered every question I had. I would recommend to anyone looking to update your ear-scape! read more

Julia is an ANGEL. So professional, the most painless piercings ever (I got 3), gave her recommendations for placement when asked but was willing to do what I wanted if I disagreed (I didn't -- her suggestions based on my anatomy made total sense)! Made me feel so welcome, calm, and confident in her hands and I am obsessed with how nice my new piercings look!! 100% vouch for Julia, she's incredible. Don't want to go to anyone else now! read more

My daughter (8 years old) got both her pierced by Jenna. It was a great experience for her It obviously hurt a little bit but Jenna was very kind and reassuring she made sure we were happy with the ear piercing placements before she did the actual piercing. She was very kind during the piercing and after and she was very thorough about how to clean and take care of the ears as well. It was a great experience and next time we are need of a piercing that is where we will be going! read more

I worked for this company over a month, started job hunting after 3 weeks when I hadn't been paid yet and I asked my store manager what was going on to which her reply was "That's not my department". Anytime I would speak to the manager I was surprised if I got a response that wasn't rude. During training I was also told it was okay to lie to the customers, they say the gun they do ear piercing with is different than Claire's... it is not, still blunt force trauma to the ear lobe. They do not care about customers or employees what's so ever. I started as part time and my first week I was scheduled 39 hours (open to close 6 days) I was very excited for this job, that dream was crushed very quickly. I would recommend pretty much any tattoo shop in the area for a piercing before this place. read more

My daughter and I have been getting our piercings done for several years here! Why do we keep coming back and not go anywhere else? Friendly faces. They are knowledgeable about their products. Very patient and professional piercers who walk you through the entire process before piercing anything. And when they get to piercing, they take it slow and let you know what is going to happen next. And when they are done, they walk you through how to take care of your new piercing. They take cleanliness of their tools and rooms very seriously! Even before COVID! Support small businesses! They need us as much as we need them! read more

We went in to get a helix piercing on a minor but were turned away because we didn't have a birth certificate. We called the day before and were told that a passport would work just fine. read more

The staff were very greeting and nice when I got my septum pierced. Only problem is my piercing is VERY crooked. When I called to inform them that the piercing was crooked they said that after a few days if it's still looking crooked I can go in and get it redone for free! Very professional in my opinion and will probably go back for more piercings in the future. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could, the staff was extremely rude and acted as if they were above everyone else.

If I could, I would give -0 stars because I didn't even get a chance to be pierced here. This isn't so much about the quality of the service, more of just a customer service type of review. I am no Karen by any means, I get things happen and am empathetic and reasonable- but this place was quite ridiculous. My friend and I came in for the BOGO deal today to get our Daiths pierced. We got there at 12:08PM (I remember the exact time, I wear a watch for that purpose). We finally are seen by the counter clerks at 12:28PM, we pick our jewelry, fill out the paperwork, agree to the payment and they give us a 2:00PM appointment, awesome. We can shop and kill time in the mall! We go run errands, bum around for awhile, and walk back into the shop at 1:55PM. We see the couple before us waiting to get their little one's ears pierced and the extremely nice people at the counter say "we have one appointment in front of you still waiting to get pierced, it'll be another 15-20 minutes" I respond "cool, we are just going to run into target quick and grab something" they say "okay! Sounds good" walking out of the shop, I look at my watch, it's 1:59PM. We go do a walk around target, kill even more time on a Saturday afternoon, (we are both mothers, spare time is hard to come by) we mosey back into the shop at EXACTLY 2:20PM! (maybe I'm in the wrong and we shouldn't have pushed it to the full 20 minutes, who knows. I thought I was being nice and giving that full 20, maybe that's me being narcissistic) The two at the counter don't say a word, they don't even look at us. The piercer comes out with the WORST attitude about the entire thing, they tells us we missed our appointment time. I'm confused? I tell them we were in there at 1:55PM (the piercer was in the other room and didn't see us come in at that time, it was just the two at the counter) and they told us 15-20 minutes so we walked out at 1:59PM and we are back now at 2:20PM? Is this over 1 minute or am I crazy? In the most rude way, and without saying I'm a liar, they says "no, you guys weren't here and it's 2:20 now, you guys missed it." I repeat myself, THEY TOLD US IT WOULD BE 15-20 MINUTES AT 2 OCLOCK AND ITS 2:20PM!! She turns us away. Without me blowing my top, we just leave. The two at the counter won't even look in our direction, now I'm sitting here writing an angry review like an idiot. I've heard nothing but bad things about this place, but their prices are good and their jewelry is decent. I'm irritated I waisted my afternoon for this rude piercer to not have good communication with their other workers. If you want a piercing go to a real piercing or tattoo shop. Not some hokey hole in the wall in an indoor mall. I'm sure they will be as happy as I am to hear I will never go back there. Sincerely, A Very Good Tipper read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT go to almost famous body piercing to get your ears pierced. What a colossal rip-off this place is! You pay for the front of the earring and you pay for the back. And you pay for "aftercare" (hydrogen peroxide and a small bag of salt.) They told me they had 14k gold earrings, until I was ready to actually get the piercings...then they said "well, they have a little nickel in them," so, I bought the titanium option. The stone turned blue and the metal turned black with their aftercare treatment. When I went in to complain, the clerk said. "We don't offer any kind of warranty." When I commented that I'd spent a LOT of money and felt ripped off, she said "I just work here. Have a nice day (dripping with sarcasm.) read more

I got my Smiley pierced here done by Summer, who was very informative and sweet which made me feel really comfortable. Great jewelry options tons of variety. I was out of there very quick and very pleased. I'd defiantly recommend. read more

I was kind of apprehensive about this place at first considering that it's found in an outlet mall But, I'm so glad I gave it a shot. The prices are very reasonable, the staff I have dealt with have all been very helpful and kind, very clean and sanitary rooms, and piercers were very professional as well. I went in the first time to get my nipples pierced...yea, it's kinda one of those deals where you are already a bit uncomfortable, but as soon as my friend and I were brought back to the room and we got to meet the piercer, there was not a single uncomfortable feeling or worry anymore. She was very nice, she explained everything she was doing, and made the piercing procedure as pleasant as she could. Plus, she did a wonderful job. :) I stopped in for a second time a couple of weeks ago. I had taken my tongue ring out over a year ago and was thinking about getting it re done again. I had tried to put a barbell back through it, but couldn't. I tried a smaller gauged needle and it went all the way through. So... I was super surprised to find out, after talking to one of the workers there, that they will re gauge an open piercing for ONLY $7!!! Vs paying close to $50 anywhere else to re pierce it for me. You can even bring your own jewelry if you don't want to purchase it there. They re gauged my tongue 2 sizes back to the barbell size, put the new barbell in and sent me on my way. :) I will most definitely choose to return here for any future piercings, and recommend them 100% to anybody seeking a new piercer, or for anyone piercing for their first time. You won't be disappointed. Thanks guys for the great work, and making my visits enjoyable and worthwhile. -Brandi read more

I went to get my belly button pierced, they put it entirely in the wrong place- not to mention it was $90 then refused to give me my money back when I expressed my issues. read more

My sister and I had our ears pierced here and found it to be a positive experience. The staff was professional and listened closely to us. They took their time to get things right. There was a little issue with the gun on one of my ears causing me a bit of pain as it had to be pulled off, but otherwise all went smoothly. read more

Horrible customer service. Either this girl was just having a bad day or she hated her job but she was extremely rude and condescending.

If you buy jewelry here and they put it in for you and you realize when you get home it's crooked and come in the NEXT day to correct it they tell you it's a 7 dollar service fee even though it was there error. Worst customer experience I have seen in such a long time no empathy and just stated it was for the tools they use. Kaitlin was super helpful on the day the piercing was purchased but everyone else the next day terrible customer service and this is not how you treat ur customers! read more

I when to get my navel pierced on the top and bottom. I usually go to tattoo shops to get my piercings but I decided to give almost famous a try. And I regret it. I have a few piercings already and in the past including, lip, nostril, septum, and nipple, and I have not experienced such a terrible job, the two piercings are not properly lined up, it has become red and inflamed around the holes, and the bottom one is so close to my skin you can almost see the bar underneath it. And I got it about a week ago. And like I said even got my nipples pierced and never even experienced such horrible healing. The girl that did my piercing seemed unexpiernced and short with telling me what she was doing. I think she messed up while putting in my jewellery on the bottom one. Highly recommend to not go here. It's the same price to go to a tattoo shop. Where they are way more experienced and professional. read more
