They do a bad job with gel. I had air bubbles under the nail. The wax they use for eyebrows is too hot. They burned the skin around my eyebrows and made it way too thin. Very bad.

This place is a joke! I should have read the reviews! Just look at the photos...Utterly disappointed and disgusted! Avoid this place!

I went in during lunch after reading the Yelp 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.

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 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!

Such an amazing experience. I got dipping done by David, which is impossible to find in nyc right now. That's what I'm used to, and I was skeptical at first because how rare it is here. But David did such an amazing job. He was so friendly and comforting. I would def recommend David at Mimi's.

Since working downtown Brooklyn you can't find much decent nail salons but I actually came here a few times and quite enjoyed the service here. Friendly staff and wait time is not bad I always call ahead to make sure they have room. I get Charlie to do my nails he's patient and super careful. I think I'll keep going here from now on since the prices are reasonable as well.

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.

I fuckin hate my nails! First they made sit outside and call them . Then the lady mimi2 was doing my nails and the manager mimi was there she heard me complaining and not once did she try to fix my problem. I the acrylic is so thick on my nails they hurt . Customer service is fuckin terrible!

My reliable Yelpers led me here before I went on my birthday vacation and, unfortunately, I would have been more satisfied saving the $60 I spent here for my regular nail salon near my neighborhood. I was in a hurry after class to get my nails done and to my surprise on a Wednesday, the place only had a few customers. The woman who began my pedicure was very nice but soon proved to be too eager for my liking. One star taken away once this woman (I do not know her name but her sister did the flower design on my toes beautifully and laid the foundation on my acrylic nails) was trying to tell me how to do my nails beyond a professional suggestion. First, I picked out the color I wanted but noticed the bottle was almost empty. I asked the woman specifically if she had another EXACT bottle, not a similar color, and she stated she did. Second, I get comfortable in my chair and as I am talking with my friend who accompanied me, the woman tried to suggest a completely different color than the one I requested (not even the same shade or a pretty color at that)! I kindly told her if she did not have the color, I will pick out another. But no Yelpers, my gung-ho technician insisted that she can find the exact color I wanted and I should not worry. So, I relaxed and pictured the palm trees that I would soon see on my vacation, and after daydreaming for two minutes, I noticed that the woman was placing a shade darker than the one I originally chose and trust me, there was a BLATANT difference between the two colors (one was dark fuschia and the original was a light, purple-ish lavender). I could have blown a fuse but calmly, yet sternly, told the woman this is not the color I chose and I would like it if she did not just placed any color she wanted on my toes without consulting me. Other customers noticed the stunt she tried to pull as well as her co-workers. Another star was taken away due to the lack of communication concerning pricing. The woman wanted to charge me for scraping my heel (no special oils or tools used)! Is that not what I pay for when asking for a pedicure? Thankfully, the woman's sister saved the day by providing me with lovely designs on my big toes. All in all, you can receive better service and avoid the trickery somewhere else. I will not be returning here. P.S. The woman tried to also sell me cuticle oils and convince me to come back in two weeks, gosh, I realize I do not appreciate pushy people. Take note Mimi's!

My 1st time there the guy in front not sure of his name did my gel...it lasted 3 weeks...he was amazing. Mimi the owner did my pedicure it was good except for getting cut. She was soo rough.....After 3 weeks I decided to visit again. This time Mimi the owner took care of me she was very kind..but.... my gel was rushed and completely peeled off after 2 days...i was cut again but multiple times during my pedicure... i will not be going back it was a waste of time and my money.

I originally got my nails done here the day before New Years because it was close to my job & I needed my nails done bad !! I was helped by Tanya !! Who is amazing ! I explained the shape I wanted & she knew right away what I was looking for my nails were beautiful & came out so freaking amazing I wish I had a pic !! This is now my second time getting my nails done here & I love this set even more than the first !! The nails last a long time a little over 3 weeks or exactly . I only went to get a fill in because I wanted to . The nails didn't chip , loose color or brake or anything like that . Could have easily worn them out about 2 more weeks if needed. I go to get GeL Nails & always bling on two fingers. Tanya is so good at what she does would highly recommend !! My new favorite nail place !!
