Mimi Nails

The salon itself is just ok, but possibly the rudest people I have ever dealt with. I always get a little creeped out when people do not use sterilized tools on me, I questioned the woman and just had attitude the entire time. Then I asked another worker a question at the drying station, she didn’t answer me, said something to the one who gave me my manicure in whatever language and then no one said a word.
Wish I wouldn’t have tipped, the tip is for service above and beyond – definitely didn’t get that here and would NOT return.
If you’re looking for cheap and dirty, may be this is a good spot.

Always a great job with very friendly service! Even got a free massage. Nice environment and selection, great deal too. That’s the best!

Professional, clean, fast, great price and great service. Though I live 30 min away from mimi nail, I always come here to get my mani and pedi. Great staffs. Excellent service!!!

I came to Mimi’s on spur of the moment as I was trying to kill some time before a hair appointment. I moved to Chicago about 6 months ago and have tried at least 8 different nails salons in the city, all of which I have been disappointing. I always get a no-​chip manicure because I don’t have time to get my nails done all the time and like them to look nice for longer than a couple days. My no-​chips would always chip after a week at most. Now it is been two weeks and my manicure is still chip free and shiny! I didn’t get the name of the girl who did my nails but she was fabulous, did a great job and I was out in under an hour. I’m really picky about my nails and hate when the border near my cuticles is jagged. My nails were perfect! I WISH I lived closer to this salon b/​c it would be my go-​to place, and they got me in right away with no wait.

This is the best place to get your nails done in the area. Their nail polish selection is great. They maintain the nail polish so that it doesn’t go bad. They also get new nail polish on a regular basis. I think this is why the nail polish lasts as long as it does. I have had my polish on for 2 weeks and its a regular manicure. The only reason I need to go back is to file them and maintain my cuticles. The staff is great!

Mimi is close and convenient, but I’m looking for another nail salon. I don’t find them reliable enough to justify returning, despite the price being pretty reasonable. My friends and I came a couple months ago and I noticed the M-​F $ 30 Mani/​Pedi deal. I only got a Pedicure that day and my friend got a Manicure. My feet looked pretty good and my friend’s nails looked great. I wasn’t blown away, but I thought I found my new nail salon.
I returned on a Tuesday and discovered they’ve gotten rid of the deal. Now a Mani/​Pedi is $ 35 M-​Th and $ 38 Fri & Sat. It’s not highway robbery, but it’s also not that big of a difference between bigger salons. Also, my Manicure and Pedicure turned out less than stellar. I still have ingrown nail on my feet and the polish is quite cheap. I wore closed-​toe shoes two days later and it pushed the French tips back and warped the paint. My Manicure is in even worse condition. The polish began bubbling almost immediately and she didn’t get off all the polish from my previous paint job. I’m more concerned with all the dead skin that remains and that she didn’t clean under my nails until I asked her to (and she still didn’t do a thorough job).
Mimi will do the trick if you’re in a pinch and want to save a few dollars, but I would rather save a little more money and find a place where I know my nails will look good for at least a week afterward.

And on the 7^th day, my fingernail polish chipped. Not bad! Not bad at all, Mimi Nails! (FYI…this was not even a no chip manicure!)
Last Saturday, I met my cousin here for what was originally going to be pedicures. She arrived a few minutes before me and had a little waxing done… ooh, la la. She was very pleased with the outcome.
We had the time, so we decided to do mani’s and pedi’s. Overall, both were great!
We had plenty of polish to choose from and it was organized by color in one area. This earned major points from me. My sister likes to go to a shop where the polish is split up and all over the place. I’m never happy with the color that I choose there because I always really wanted something a little lighter, little darker, more pink, more purple… you get my drift.
The pedicures were relaxing in this very clean and darling shop. The technicians were nice and I never once felt like they were talking about us.
I don’t often get a manicure. So, I opted for a light shade of pink thinking it would start to chip in a day or two and I didn’t want to have to remove the polish immediately. I was thrilled that it wasn’t until this morning… seven days later that I have my first chip! I felt that the technician took her time and did a really nice job.
While sitting at the dryers, I continued to relax while she gave me a little shoulder massage. I’m funny about those things. Usually, I’m not a big fan of people touching me. But, I had worked with the same person for the whole time, she was very sweet and I felt very comfortable.
Bottom line, make an appointment and stop into this tucked away shop in Old Town Bloomingdale. My toes still look fabulous and my fingers may need a polish change soon, but that’s okay with me if I get the same excellent service on my next visit.

I have been here a number of times. I didn’t have reservations… didn’t think I needed them for this type of salon (and didn’t have them last time I was here) When I walked in and requested a no-​chip manicure, they seemed annoyed. It was the fastest I’ve ever had it done which I originally thought was good but the quality of the manicure was not good. The nail polish was bubbly underneath and was peeling after 4 days. I won’t go back.

Love mimi’s! My mom and I come here almost weekly. They have tons of polish to choose from, majority is OPI. Very friendly staff. Great prices, also Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday they have $ 29 mani and pedi! Very highly recommend mimi’s!

I had a manicure and hand massage there. So did my wife. We were both pleased with the results.
Very relaxing atmosphere; the shop has a nice ambiance. I think that there are five manicurists/​pedicurists. It is fairly spacious.
I also tried one of the machines that does a back massage. That was nice.
