HORRIBLE! This place is NOT what it used to be... I would give it ZERO stars if I could.I have been going to Mimi Nails since I was in high school (it's been over 10 years) and at first the service was great, they'd greet you in a friendly manner and the nail techs were very gentle and good at what they do. I don't come as often now, but figured I owe them my loyalty as a customer and came here over other nail salons I could go to, boy was I wrong...I walk in with a friend and we decide we want gel manicures. We barely are given time to look at the gel nail color wheels (which are all chipped and half of them have broken off- and no one bothers to replace this) but we are literally shoved into our chairs. I ask if I can see the colors again, and after some obvious loud badmouthing in their language they hand over the color wheel. As I am looking at it, the rude nail tech is grabbing one of my hands. It's like RELAX give me a second to decide what I want, I don't understand this rush was about. there was no one waiting or anything. I feel like they want to rush and get the person out of the chair in case someone else walks in.. there is no sense of service or good quality here anymore.So I decide on which color I want- using ONE HAND- since she dunked my other hand in the water bowl forcefully. Then she starts the manicure process, and this was the WORST MANICURE ever, she was so rough with me that she cut my pinky finger during the cuticle trimming real badly it kept bleeding. Then she applied like 20 drops of the antiseptic liquid which made it even more irritated- 2 or 3 drops would have been enough. I wish I got her name I didn't but she's the short and chubby asian woman with a really round face, kind of stands out from the rest. I told her not to trim my cuticles anymore since she hurt me real badly, she said ok but continued to do so! What's even worse is that she used the most abrasive side of the nail file over my skin irritating and cutting me even more! What I should have done was just gotten up and left or asked for another tech instead of letting her finish the job... As much as I did not want to tip her I still did, but my fingers have been hurting since, and I am writing this the following day. I am NEVER going back to Mimi Nails again, as sad as I am saying that- the male owner is actually a really nice guy. As for the women, they need to either quit these jobs they obviously hate so much or learn to be nice and stop talking shit loudly in another language- if someone doesn't understand the words they can still pick up on the tone and attitude and realize you're talking shit. Don't work at a job that requires catering to people and providing service with these types of attitudes. And don't cut someone so badly that it hurts, bleeds, and leaves nasty SCARS all over their fingers. I mean what if I wanted to get my nails done before an engagement shoot?! They do all these close up shots of your hands/the ring. Do I really want these horrible ugly scars in my pictures? The lady I had was rude and disgusting, and the others didn't seem much nicer. Stay far away from this place.... Read Less
