We have been going to Mimi for many years and Mimi and her staff are excellent. I have had the honour and pleasure of having Mimi work on my hands and feet for many years, and I trust her 100%. A couple of times, I have had her staff work on my hands and feet, and they are also very good. I go to them religiously because I can trust their work, and their price is also very good. We recommend having your nails done here, and I can guarantee that Mimi and her staff are very friendly, good, thorough, and clean. read more

My normal nail lady was all booked and I had an event in the evening so I decided to give Mimi's a try since it had mixed reviews and it is close to home. Mistake - my mani lady was painting all over my fingers and missing pieces of my nail bed. It was burgandy so it was obvious. The consistency on my nail was not even. It looked horrible so I asked her to just remove and just do clear instead. She just laughed at me. Pics are what I left with. Pedi was fine, nothing positive or negative. I paid and tipped still btw. read more

Mimi never fails to make my nails look beautiful. I have been a patron for over 17 years. I have never been disappointed. Mimi does her best to fit you in, and I have never seen her turn anyone away. I always get a fill and a pedicure. I highly recommend Mimi's Nails to family and friends. I have even bought my out-of-town guests to the shop for mani/pedi's. Try it out, get the whole experience, the massage chair, with a pedicure and manicure at the same time. And they also do waxing. Jan Lewis read more

I looked at the reviews on this business (thank you all) prior to coming in for a full set and a pedicure, as I have just moved in the area. Mimi did my full set, and I wish I remembered the name of who did my pedicure. But both did not disappoint! Mimi listened to my request on oval, thin nails and did a great job! They feel sturdy and yet not that thick. I can tell these are going to last until I need a fill. I'll definitely be back. read more

Beginning note: Call in to make an appt. They're busy! I called in and scheduled an appt for a gel manicure before the holiday festivities. They were very accommodating and got me in right away. I had Nancy who was really friendly and welcoming! What I love about this place: it's big, they have massage chairs and lots of different options for nails and packages. Nancy was on point, she new I had to get back to work and she was quick and her massages were hands down...amazing! Great little spot. Prices are on the higher end, but overall great service, selection and customer service! read more

Ellie was amazing !!! She transformed my terrible nail set into natural beautifully nails I should have taken photos of my nails. But I was so embarrassed of the duck bills I had hanging off my fingers! I hated the color of which had 3 coats caked on. Ellie transformed them! Sanded off the gel gook - she shaped them like "tear drop" shape and natural sheer pink and now my nails compliment my hands. read more

It wasn't a great pedicure experience. Not only did she cut my nail uneven, she wasn't even trying to help me with my shoes and the nail got messed up, she tried to pat it with polish and it was still messed up obviously, so I asked her to fix it. she ended up kicking my slippers and rather annoyed to have to fix it, once she had the nail polish off I asked her to fix the shape and then the lady behind her and her started talking of-course in their native tongue. I'm assuming that I asked her to fix it.. had she not sped through the pedicure and asked if it was ok before polishing I would have told her it's messed up. She finished and brought the slipper she was suppose to help me with initially n quickly placed them on. I just wanted to leave at this point. Also my callus was not even touched! I could have just painted my own toe nails for what she did. Manicure lady was nice but the manicure only lasted three days for a gel manicure. I wouldn't come back! read more

I don't usually leave reviews but my experience here was very disappointing. I walked in with no appointment and a gentleman was available to do my nails. I asked for square nails and he rounded the first hand and later asked again what I wanted. When I repeated square he went back to the first hand he had done and attempted to fix. I didn't have very long nails to begin with so disappointment #1. He then proceeded to do the cuticles. First hand was in the water less than 30 seconds, cuticle removal was a joke. Tools were brought out from a sealed bag but he did not use those tools to do the job. Most of the nails had cuticles removed on one side of the nail and not the other. I had to ask three times for him to relook at them. After the third time they were still not great but how many times is one to keep asking...disappointment #2. I had initially selected a red color polish but upon seeing the level of detail that was being applied I decided to go with a neutral/super light color. Base coat application was subpar. Several nails did not have full coverage. Polish application was clumpy, several nails ended up with specs from dried polish and nothing was done to remove them. finally several nails had a rough end from poor filing that stood out once the polish was applied...disappointment #3. It had been a while since I had gone to a salon to get my nails done and after this experience I am going back to doing them myself...save the money and do a better job. read more

Mimi is Ah-mazing! After getting my nails done in a top notch nail salon in Orange County I never thought I'd find the same great quality here in Valley Center! After several recommendations, I gave this place a shot and was hooked. My nails easily last for 3 weeks before needing a fill and I'm extremely hard on them. Wonderful, friendly service, and a stellar job. Mimi is also a master at lash extensions and facials. I never would have guessed she is an esthetician and a master of microderm facials (I had acne on and off for 6 months and got regular facials monthly. After one facial with Mimi, my skin finally cleared up!!) read more

I stopped by to do a full acrylic set, the lady was really in a bad mood and she cut "3 " times my fingers. I told her to stop, but she didn't. Please check the pictures. I was in pain and she didn't say anything about. The staff was really rude at this time. Never more, one star for sure. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but I've been going here for 10+ years. Mimi is the only person I trust to wax my eyebrows! On top of that, she's always killing it with my nails. She'll always sit and work with me to make sure I'm happy and leave their satisfied. Pedicures are always great as well! Sometimes they can be a little slow, and you have to wait, but as long as the quality is 5 stars I can't complain! read more

Lived in So Cal (South Bay for over 20 years) until a move to Northern California 1.5 years ago. I was SO HAPPY when I lived in SoCal, getting my Shellac mani and (reg) pedis here. Mimi always did my nails and I always requested Tammy or Mei for my pedi. Tammy gave me the BEST massages!!! Now I am in NorCal, searching for someone like Mimi - reasonable, quick, makes sure my nails are even, doesn't cut my cuticles and mess them up leaving painful hangnails, doesn't soak my fingers in the acetone...sigh....1.5 years and still searching up here. I miss you, Mimi and Tammy!!!! read more

This was my first time getting tips and this place had pretty good reviews so me and my friend decided to go here. Then in the begging of my appointment, the lady doing my nails got up and left for TWO AND A HALF HOURS and at that point I was furious. I told the other workers there that I had other places that I needed to be and that I wanted a discount and they neglected to give me one. My friend got her nails done and and the whole time, the lady that was doing her nails, kept checking her phone and getting up and leaving. I left the nail salon with only my tips glued on. read more

Mimi is great and fast! They rub a little behind with time but I love going there. She does great and her staff are nice and friendly!

Only go to this place if you have multiple hours allotted for a mani/ pedi. Arrived at noon on a sunday, the place was dead. The gentleman took 45+ min for a regular polish pedicure, then took another 45+ min for a regular polish manicure (not including drying time). They had the staff to do both at the same time, so I'm not sure why they didn't. Unfortunately he ended up cutting my thumb nail so short that it hurt when he filed them. I tried to get him to stop w words, but he didn't understand, so I had to pull my hand away for him to stop. Overall I'm dissatisfied w the customer service and overall experience. Bummer considering they are so close to my home and affordable. read more

See my "Tip" it says it all! BUT if you haven't had a Mani/pedi here you are missing out! Mimi and her team are great!...detail-oriented, creative work, plenty of parking and reasonably priced! read more

This place isn't bad. Prices are VERY reasonable for a mani/pedi. ($25 for gel mani, $17 for spa pedi). It is basic, but clean, and the staff is VERY, VERY friendly. Mimi kept coming over to check on my chair and make sure I was comfortable, and I thought the length of the massage felt a little longer than other places, which is a special treat. They also did an amazing job on my 6 year old's mani -- cleaned & trimmed her nails and added a sparkly coat of bright pink glittery polish for $3! read more

Alice made me feel like I was in heaven. She gave the best pedicure I have ever had. A regular pedicure cost $17 but I upgraded to the $35 spa pedicure. Which included a wonderful scrub, hot stones, warm towels, and paraffin wax treatment. Thank you so much Alice for squeezing me in at the last minute and giving me the best service ever! read more

I went in for a fill and got an amazing paint job. The fill itself was not the best because she kept sanding way to close to my skin and eventually cut several of my fingers but like I said, the paint job was very good. If it weren't for the loose sanding job, I would've given it 5 stars because the price is very reasonable. read more

I went in for a mani/pedi. The lady finished with my mani less than 15 minutes later. She neglected my cuticles and only tended to them once I asked if she was really done. Also first manicure that hurt. Polish job on my toes is less than thrilling.. she left polish on my toes. To top it all off, the OPI polish I brought to the salon starting chipping off my toes in less than a week. read more

I've gone here several times because it's close to my house. It's not the best mani and pedi that I've ever had but the ladies are nice and friendly. The prices are pretty fare so I don't feel it's that bad if the quality isn't the best. read more

Place is just okay. Very small selection in nail polish. They need new spa chairs. I tried using the massage function and it was so loud and annoying I just ended up turning it off. Pedicure was better than manicure. Nails started chipping one day later. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

I try to refrain from giving poor reviews of small businesses because I understand how they can negatively impact a business. However, I have been to this location three times and all three times I had a mediocre experience. Simply put all three times I have come here for a pedicure, and the technician seemed to spend a good amount of time (maybe even too long) on the pedicure, but at the end of it all, really did not pay attention to detail. My cuticles were barely cut and the sides of my nails did not have polish. I definitely will not be coming to this location again. read more

I have never left a bad review in my life - but unfortunately, I decided to venture away from the salons I know to try something new for my birthday. I have LITERALLY never asked someone to redo my manicure THREE times due to the their error and poor quality polish. It was the biggest waste of time and money. I have been getting mani/pedis for more than 25 years - this was the worst experience ever. And the owner sat right there and clearly saw how unhappy I was but never said a word. I would highly suggest avoiding this one if you have ever had an excellent mani/pedi before. They were all very sweet - just not good quality work. read more
