Mimi Nail Spa

Very dirty. They seem like they haven’t cleaned for years. Filing was too strong and my skin started to bleed. Don’t go.

First experience here was not great. I went in for a basic mani/​pedi, and eyebrows. I think I had Tanya… But I’m not sure. Anyhow, she rushed through my mani/​pedi leaving my nails really jagged and uneven. The only thing I was happy with was my eyebrows. She did a great job with that. I don’t think I’ll return to this place.

Been here three times, the first was for a gel mani then the other two times I did gel powder nails. David did mine the first time and Mimi did mine today. Each time I got good service, but it’s always busy so if u can get someone’s card and make an appointment so you don’t have to wait! Literally always busy

I walked in at 7:20 (didn’t realize they closed shortly) but they took me anyway. I didn’t feel rushed and everyone was super friendly, which I appreciated.
Got a regular manicure for ²⁄₃ the price it would be in the city + gels on 2 split nails. Decent results; the gels are gorgeous, but polish application wasn’t great — got some polish on my cuticles and the surface isn’t smooth.
I’m docking 2 stars because they don’t keep their tools in autoclave pouches and don’t use new files for each client. Those are major no-​nos for me, so I won’t be back.

this place looks like it has literally never been cleaned. just got a gel manicure from here and it’s already peeling off. yikes.

Great experience. Alina was so friendly and did a fantastic job. You can’t beat 24 $ mani-​pedi that looks this great.

Came on a friday night around 7 (they stop taking the last person at 7:15 typically) loved the service and (don’t know her name) who did my nails took her time even though she started past 7:30 and still had people walking in.
Happy and acrylic cost $ 22+$ 1 for using card.

Michelle did a great job with my nails and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable as a new customer. I checked out everyone’s nails around me and all of the stylists did a nice job with designs. Good value for a «round the way» salon and a decent selection of Essie Polish. Everyone in the salon, including other customers, was super friendly enhancing the true neighborhood vibe.

I went in during lunch after reading the Unilocal reviews. I won’t be going back.
It’s like any other nail salon, very much factory like, shuffling people in and out. It was dirtier than most salons I’ve been to.
I got the gel manicure and the older, very sweet man cut and filed my nails. But he did a poor job so the next woman had to recut the cuticles and refile the nails. I couldn’t pick out the polish for myself; instead she asked what color and I told her blue-​grey and she pulled out a bottle. The application of the polish was sloppy, not the usual pulling up motion, she went up, down and even sideways. The result is blotchy, bumpy nail polish with the sides showing. (Oh and she got polish on my fingers, too.)
At the end, she introduced herself as Mimi and told me to come back for my pedicure. After inspecting her work in daylight, I will never return. Check out the pictures for proof.

Mimi was incredibly sweet and pleasant to talk to, however the manicure I received was not good. The whole manicure process seemed lackluster (just was not a careful job) and I ended up leaving with polish on my cuticles and surrounding skin. I would not go back.

Wow, great job to Charles @ Mimi’s…I was crunched for time before I left the west coast to the east yesterday that I had no choice but to get pampered when I arrived. .I had a relaxing pedicure, pretty gel nails and perfectly waxed eyebrows. this place is, extremely busy. call for an appointment. This will be my backup spot when im in town.

Was looking for a place with good prices, but better quality than the few places on Livingston st which have so many customers playing music and yelling back and forth to each other I couldn’t take. Mimi’s was busy, but quiet in a good way. Tanya did my manicure and pedicure and did a good job but tickled my feet so badly! We laughed together about it. My nails came out nice, but a little bit of nail polish on my skin that I had to scratch off when I left. I’d go back for the prices alone. And to everyone that judges a place by when their nails chip (which is completely unrelated to the woman who paints your nails! How dumb to rate based on this!!), it’s been 5 days and no chips. But I have very strong nails and they normally go at least a week without chipping. I’d go back for the cheap prices alone!

Very nice staff, good selection of nail polishes and price is great, just $ 22 for mani/​pedi!

I started off with Mimi doing my nails but somehow switched to Tanya and Michelle!
Michelle is so sweet! And really gets to know her customers, she does really good pedicures sometimes you have to remind her to slow down cause she gets overwhelmed but other than that she’s great.
Tanya! Love her, she does my nails all the time no matter what now. «She gets it» lol, I usually show her a style of what I want to my nails and she does it great!
I recommend not going on a Friday or Saturday. I’m not sure about the appointment situation but I have been there and overhead a couple of problems about nail techs not respecting their customers appointment time.
Pretty good place friendly people!

I don’t really understand all the great reviews here. I went in for a manicure/​pedicure and the whole process took about 20 minutes start to finish. The lady doing my nails barely looked at them! She was distracted and spent the entire time looking over her shoulder. She sped through it so fast that she forgot to file the nails of one of my feet and I was terrified when she took to my cuticles! Nothing appeared to be paticularly sanitized, and my manicure lasted about a day. It was pretty inexpensive, and I suppose you get what you pay for, but I could have done a better job myself. Perhaps it was just that one person, but I won’t be going back.

I cannot give this place nothing but glowing reviews. I also recommend it to all of my friends looking for an affordable, clean, and very friendly environment to get your nails done.
When I first moved to Brooklyn a few years ago I was looking for a new place to get my nails done. On a whim one afternoon I went into Mimi’s Nails and I have been going back ever since. This has become my go to nail spot in Brooklyn. I started off with very short and unattractive nails, then I met Tanya. I highly recommend Tanya. People in this place truly care about you and if your satisfied. It’s also a family business. Tanya, Michelle, Mimi and David have grown to be my second family in Brooklyn. They also have many long standing customers that have been getting nails done at this place for years.
Mimi’s nails was recently remodeled so its nice and clean. If your in downtown Brooklyn and are looking for a place to get your nails done, go no further then here. I promise you will not be disappointed!

I love Mimi Nails! The staff is so friendly. I always go there on my lunch break and I get tips and my eyebrows. They are very sweet, quick and its a pleasure to be in there salon. Charlie & Mimi are the best! I highly recommend Mimi Nails.

Excellent service and they did a beautiful job with my mani and pedi all at a great price and clean space. Will def become a regular!

Mimi, her husband, sisters and brother in law are great!
I see Mimi once a week for a mani. Mimi is attentive and dedicated to her clients and her salon.

I’ve only gotten waxes and manicures but I live a few blocks away and already know I’m going back in 2 weeks.
Please DON’T expect a fancy salon… This is NOT that. This is an around-​the-​way kinda nail place. Most of the staff is friendly. They don’t make awkward conversation with you as they do your nails but they are super friendly and are definitely chatty.
My first experience there, I got an eyebrow wax and a regular manicure. I think it came to about $ 11…for BOTH! I was pleased with the quality (and price) of both.
I went back a few days ago and got my eyebrows and lip waxed and once again, I was pleased with the results. I also got an OPI gel mani (my 1^st ever!) and it was great. Oh… and it was only $ 20 as opposed to the $ 40 that everyone else charges.
I did have to go back because one of my hands didn’t dry shiny enough (sounds crazy, but the everlasting shine is part of the reason you get gel manis!) but they apologized profusely and made sure my nails were shiny before I left the 2^nd time.
I’ll be going back.
