From someone who has had countless facials for over the past 12 years secondary to difficult combination skin with large pores, I have found the BEST esthetician/facialist in Miami FL! I was fortunate to find Not Your Basic Chic on Groupon when I was searching for a legitimate skin care professional. I am in the medical field and one of the most important things to me in a skin care clinic is experience, cleanliness, results and someone who you get along with. From my very first appointment I could tell that Mimi knew exactly what she was doing and the results have been nothing short of a miracle! Mimi is a very genuine and intelligent individual who can answer all of your skin care needs! I have been receiving custom facials from Mimi for 2 years now and have had incredible results with my skin. I had so many compliments after I started receiving facials from Mimi that my face looked smoother and pores minimized! I highly recommend Not Your Basic Chic for all of your skin care needs. The clinic is a private and clean establishment and you will find nothing cookie-cutter about it. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Not Your Basic Chic has new and updated policies regarding safety and sanitation. You will be happy to know that Mimi and staff go above and beyond in cleanliness and all current CDC Guidelines are being followed. From the beginning of this pandemic my face took a turn for the worse secondary to long hours wearing an N95 mask daily and I developed extensive irritation and acne around my chin and nose. Mimi has taken special care of my face and it is now making a turn for the better! I am forever grateful to her! read more

My skin feels so good! I have to say I have had several people work on my face as my face tends to flare up when I eat spicy foods or having a acne broke out. But the woman at this who worked on my face this week really did an excellent job. 1st she was extremely informative and helpful on how to calm the irritation down. Then after the facial educated me on how to prevent it from happening again. I got the seaweed facial which is a facial I use to get in the east coast that seems to be extremely rare in this city. My pores were so big when I went in... and are tiny now after the facial. After the facial it helped a lot to see that the facialist was a living testimony with before and afters of her beautiful skin! Also, I like that this place makes and effect to heal the skin without using a lot of harsh chemicals. Which is a plus in my book. Not to mention I saw 2 stars walk out of when I came in that made my day.lol Definitely LA's best kept secret! Such a before place with amazing service. Ill be back in a few weeks read more

I wanted to write a review for 2 reasons: First if I want to say how great and professional Mimi and her team is. I get facials regularly that leave my face feeling like a babies butt. I always dread the extractions but are so worth it! I also received a lash lift recently which was amazing and brings me to my next reason: as I was waiting for my appointment, I happen to over hear the receptionist dealing with the exceptionally rude customer below that just left a bad review... the receptionist was politely explaining to the customer that she and her mother missed their appointments without a call or a text to reschedule and as per Groupon and NYBC policy, the groupon is forfeited. After harassing the receptionist for a solid 5 minutes, the mother started to say racist comments like "do you even speak English". Mind you, the receptionist speaks perfect English! I was so shook! Anyway, Mimi and team are great! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely love this place. Their private office is centrally located in Coral Gables in a quiet area with plenty of accessible street parking- I have never had an issue commuting there or finding a parking space. My first time there, Mimi, the aesthetician, was welcoming and extremely informative. She literally educated me on everything I needed to know about my skin while customizing a facial for my specific skin needs. My first visit's Acne/Custom facial offered me unbelievable results and she even recommended at home skin care steps and products that have really improved my skin. My skin has been glowing since and I committed to visiting her for custom facials and microdermabrasion facials every couple of weeks since. My pores are less visible and my hyperpigmentation is practically cleared after maybe 4-6 facials with her. I highly recommend! read more

A good Esthetician, Barber, and Dentist are the key professionals that all people need to maintain their appearance.

Love this place! After I moved to Miami, my skin started acting up but with the help of Mimi, it looks so much better now! The salon is clean and small - which means that during your appointment you are in the focus. Even after moving further North, I still drive to Coral Gables for the amazing acne facials, microdermabrasion or dermaplaning. My favorite is the customs facial where everything was perfectly adjusted to the needs of my skin. Mimi also correctly guessed that I am allergic to tomatoes when my chin had really bad acne. We did a 1 month test where I didn't eat tomatoes at all and it got so much better during that time. Guess that means I have to cut down on my lasagna consumption now... All in all: highly recommend NYBC! :) Go and try it out, it is definitely worth it! read more

So happy I found a place close by for facials. I have had acne prone skin since I was a teenager, deep bumps under the surface as an adult. The 'texture' on my skin has been really bothering me lately, and when i found this place samelia the esthetician recommended I purchase a series of skincare treatments. She offers a discounted price when you buy more than one! Her products (i have no clue what she used on me) but it left my skin visibly tighter, and after the 2nd treatment I can honesty say the bumps have gone down! I have one more facial left in this series, and I can't wait to be rid of this texture. She can treat anyone I'm convinced! - From super acne prone skin, to reducing thin lines and wrinkles...she is the best. Thank you! read more

I just had my second microdermabrasion treatment and am SO happy with the results! I first went to see Mimi for her Signature Facial, based on the excellent reviews I read, then decided to go with the microderm series and already feel like my face looks a good 10 years younger! After the great (relaxing too) facial, I also purchased an acne facial for my daughter's birthday. She expected to walk out with a "new" face so was initially disappointed, but quickly changed her tune when she saw the bumps and pimples disappear from her cheeks a couple of days later. Now she is even more diligent about following her afternoon sports with toner and sulphur soap at night as Mimi suggested. Love this place, and the Esthetician! read more

This holiday weekend I had the chance to experience this amazing facial spa in Miami. Wow wow Wow is all I have to say! I have had plenty of facials... But this place has my skin glowing! I got a custom facial with microdermabrasion. After facials I usually can't walk outside due redness & puffiness. Not here, it was more like ready to walk the red carpet! They also use all types of American and Korean beauty products which is a complete plus! Ask for Mimi she is one of the best esthetician's at this location. She is very knowledgeable on how to take care of ugly blemishes and acne. An always booked due to her celebrity client demand! So try to get in when they she has availability. I'm love this Miami Spa! read more

Wow!! @ Stephen M. For someone that brags about being a lawyer you are actually pretty stupid. I just so happened to be on the table the other day when you came in a totally disrupted the place all because they refused to accept your Groupon. You were so loud and profane that I started to get dress just in case I had to step out and defend the two ladies. Now on top of that you double down by giving a false review (Slander) even though you watched them record you acting out. Who does that? For those of you considering this location the staff is very professional, and the facility is very clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this location. read more

I love getting the "Glow" facial here-- Mimi is fantastic and she makes me feel so comfortable and pampered every visit. Not Your Basic Chic is THEE go to spot for facials in Miami. My skin has vastly improved since I became a client and I get compliments often. The staff and ambiance is terrific, and I am excited to try the lash extensions at my next appointment. They are strictly following COVID-19 protocols, and my esthetician and the receptionist were vaccinated and they had both wore shield, masks, and gloves. My experience was 10/10- I recommend NYBC to anyone that wants to feel pampered in a safe, comfortable, environment! read more

Ever since I had my son my hermone have been going crazy ‍. This weekend I tried Not Your Basic Chic acne facial an it was the best! My skin is clearing up all ready and I'm so excited. I also go the best bikini wax from this place and can't wait to go back for my next session. I purchased the facial series with the chemical peel to clear up the dark spotS on my face. Mimi is so great! She was very knowledgeable of what I need to do with my skin type which a lot of people do not. Love this place but hate that they are book out almost a month. This was so worth the trip from Florida city. read more

This has to be one of the most AMAZING facials I've had in a while. I loved how I felt at home here. The office space was very clean and very Zen.The aesthetician was very professional, made sure I felt comfortable, she took time to study my face, and made sure that I enjoyed my facial. I felt like a real Hollywood star. The facial was great! When i was done and saw my face it was glowing!!!! I can't wait for my next appointment. I'd recommend this to everyone. Thank you so much for giving me back my confidence. Love that she was able to recommend home routines for me that i can follow. read more

I booked the Acne Facial, and it completely exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I could tell she was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about skincare. I came in with super stubborn bumps all over my chin, and by the end of the facial, my skin was completely smooth. I was honestly shocked by the difference. On top of that, she's so sweet, fun to talk to, and has the best energy. She made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable while also teaching me so much about my skin. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely be coming back! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I came in for a Microdermabrasion facial and a dermaplaning add on .. All I can say is wow! I've tried everything for MONTHS to get rid of my acne and dark spots and coming here was one of the best decisions I've ever made.... within a few days my face was GLOWING and clear! No redness no pain .. she was very gentle and explained everything perfectly When I walked out the door my face was sooo soft too The place is very very clean and it's not packed or loud at all I had to come back for the LED light treatment :) I definitely recommend this place read more

What can I say, Mimi saved the day! I had some SERIOUS problems with my skin, specifically my face due to ingrown hair, pigmentation and blackheads. I was really down in the dumps, feeling like I had no hope and nowhere to turn. Then I found the most professional, positive and knowledgeable person for skin care, that I have ever met in my life. Now I'm back on track and feeling like ME again, my fiance even said I was "Glowing" after I saw Mimi. I'm so grateful for her for making me feel happy again and instilling the confidence I had lost back in myself. read more

I've been going to the LA location for years for my facial treatments. When I went to Miami I just had to try this location. The place is so relaxing and Mimi my esthetician was very knowledgeable on how to care for my skin type.   You have to try or ask for their "Custom . Facial it is the best facial. It takes care of acne, oily skin, packed with facial serums,  extractions if needed.. With possible microdermabrasion, collagen, seaweed, or 24 karat gold facial treatments. Only thing is they are always booked so you have to call in advance. read more

Unfortunately, because give great service and results they are booked‍ So when you go to there booking site nothing is wrong with it... They are really busy! But do there best to fit you in when they can. They have a waiting list and that is how I got an earlier appointment. So definitely ask about their waiting list. Totally a peaceful place so be ready to relax read more

I had a signature facial and loved it! Left with glowing skin and a pleasant experience! I was super impressed with the care and attention I received at my facial appointment. She was very tentative and thorough on explaining with detail what she was doing and what products she was using on my face. I felt relaxed and at ease. I was pretty impressed with the final result. My face has never felt better. Thanks Again, your Amazing! I definitely will recommend you to my friends and family. Highly recommend! read more
