Been coming to Mi Universe for 3 years now. They do a wonderful job - the salon is clean and comfortable and it's really easy to call and make an appointment. Especially recommend if you are on your feet a lot and your calluses need some TLC :) read more

Was looking for a local pedi with a friend. Saw this on Yelp. Reviews were good so we checked it out. It was quiet in salon. I think 3 workers total but they were very nice and did a good job. No complaints here and if I ever need just a pedi, this will be my new, local, pedi go to! read more

I have been coming to Mi Universe since it opened. Hope is the owner and operator, and I have been loyally going to her since her original shop tucked in the corner at Raley's shopping center back in the day. The shop is clean and all the staff are so sweet and professional. I have never had a bad experience, a break in between or a chip and I am very rough on my nails. I have been to a few other shops while on vacation or tagging along with a friend or group of girls and believe me, no one compares. Do yourself a favor and go get a deluxe pedicare. I just had a mani pedi and I'm leaving this review in total bliss in the spa massage chair. Thank you Hope and Holly for making me feel exquisite! read more

I have tried a few Nail places in Benicia over the last 20 years. Hope, Holli & Yuki are So genuinely welcoming. I have struggled with in grown toe nails. I went a number of times to Kaiser but they wanted to cut off 1/2 my toe nail. Finally, got referred to a podiatrist, who said if you can find a pedicurist to pull out ingrown nail to go to them. Holli is a miracle worker. She has resolved the my issue. And gives a great massage. Hope (owner) does the powder dip on my nails. They last a long time. Overall, prices are more reasonable than other salons in Benicia. Hope also does my eyebrow/lip waxing. Customer Service is excellent! I won't be going anywhere else! read more

Great job with dip nails! Easy to get appointments and staff are clean and careful with manicures read more

Just stopped by to get a pedicure and two little girls nails painted.... Not one single person in the nail salon except employees. They said 'we can't take walk ins, go to Nail shop around the corner!' What??? There isn't a single customer and you can't take walk ins?? Never again. Rude AF read more

Walked in without a reservation for a French manicure on a Tuesday and they were able to accommodate me pretty quickly. Great service. Very nice staff. I'm so happy with how my french tip powder dip nails turned out. Will come back in about 4 weeks. Hopefully they last that long! read more

THEY ARE OPEN ON FRIDAYS! Hope is AMAZING!!! She is so good at the dip. I had to switch nail shops as mine closed a few months ago. I'm happy to report that Hope does the better job! I get a dip fill and gel pedi and am in and out in just over an hour. Great pedi, fantastic looking nails that last about a month. I'm sorry I didn't find her sooner! read more

It was my first time here when I walked in on November 15th & I got a full set with the deluxe pedicure. Now I will say the deluxe pedicure was good and the wax felt really nice on my feet but sadly now my French tip is already messed up 4 days later.. I really wanted to come back here but both my thumb nails popped off on the same day 17th and I was so sad. I went in to get it fixed and they were busy at the time and told me I can wait an hour. I couldn't wait an hour at that time so I called back and asked for an appointment and the lady that picked up said "We're very busy today I don't know what time I can schedule" I was so shocked and mad that I was treated that way after I spent good money I'm there and got treated like that. They eventually tell me they will call me back and tell me when I can come which was weird but okay? I went back for my nail fixed and while she's doing my thumb she said she didn't recognize me earlier and I asked if they were busy today and she said, "No, not really." Like what ????! Never again will I come here! Horrible pedicure days later with nail polish off and a broken nail !! NEVER AGAIN !!!! read more

I wanted to take my daughter to get her nails done for my daughter's 6th birthday, and I'm so glad we chose this salon! Yuki was amazing with my daughter, patient, warm, and happy to explain everything she was doing. My daughter's nails look FABULOUS and she had so much fun that she wants to work there when she grows up. read more

So this is one of my favorite places! The staff makes you feel like family!! So welcoming! I came in around May as an acrylic nail girl. Hanna says "try powder dip... if you don't like it l will give you acrylics back!" It's now end of September and needless to say I'm a regular!!! Pedicure are fabulous!!! I'll never go back to acrylic!!! read more

Love these ladies we got there late and they didn't rush still served us. We love coming here and now we're inviting our friends.

My nails look amazing! My technician took time. Even though it was just a fill , they look the best that the other nail place I went to . Friendly staff , remembered my name from call . Very happy ! I found my new place read more

Great experience!!!!! So attentive!!!!! Loved it!!!! Yuki was so good!!! This is my new place! Hot stones and towels were so relaxing!

Very clean, well-ventilated with nice chairs and really nice staff. Don't let the lack of a crowd scare you away. The owner Hope will most likely be the one doing your pedicure or she will at least be there. If you have the chance, ask for her. They do a great job overall but I've never had my nails and toenails feel so smooth! It's my second time back and I don't think I'll go anywhere else in town! My only negative comment is that besides reds, their color selection is a little more limited than others in town. But if you like red there are probably 20 to choose from! :) read more

I would of gave Hope the owner a five star a few months ago... however since going there for over two years every 3 weeks I ended up with a nail infection. A about an hour after my last visit there my nails started to itch like crazy... I researched the internet for help.. then I reached out and called Hope ...She told me to soak my hands in warm salt water... because of what I found out on the internet ( there is a product used for acrylic nails that is Banned in the U. S.) I asked if she changed brands of the products that she used on me she said no and repeated soak nails in warm salt waterthen hung up on me. I expected her to call me and check up on me however she did not. l guess she does not mind losing loyal customers. Because of her actions or lack there of I tend to believe that she used that illegal product on me. I am very hurt and d read more

This place is very nice, a hidden gem. The massage chairs for pedicures are absolutely amazing!! Honestly, those chairs are the best I have ever sat in. The women who work here are family and have a great vibe. The mom is the only one to do my pedicures and she is quick and extremely attentive to detail. Same with her pedicures. I have Hope do my eyebrows and she's a pro. She also offered me a very nice service that helps your body heal. I took her up on it and she is very, very knowledgeable about Chinese medicine. Ask her about it! I've never had a better basic pedicure anywhere else! I love this place and I put off putting a review because I know when people come here they won't go anywhere else! read more

I went to Mi universe for the first time today and OMG I will definitely be going back! Holli gives the most amazing pedicures! It was my first time with the hot stones and it felt so good! My feet were so dry and she turned them around completely! I love how nice and clean the staff are. It was an overall good experience, I highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't. read more

I came here for the first time. They were nice but I waited 30 minutes for my appt and had to wait outside. When I finally was seen I wanted short nails but we talked into longer ones. I broke a nail 2 days after just opening a drawer and they wouldn't see me for a week even after I told them I just got them done? I really would not recommend them to anyone and will never return. The nails weren't that cute either. Really really unsatisfied. read more

I absolutely love this place! I stopped in last week and they were really busy so I went to a different nail salon in the Raleys shopping center. The entire experience at said salon was awful. I knew I should have waited or made an appointment for Mi Universe. Mi Universe is CLEAN! It should be a standard for nail salons but it's not. This salon is clean and looks well taken care of. I'm pretty sure either Hope or Holly did my nails and she was so unbelievably nice. I showed her a picture of what I wanted but with some small changes and not only did she accomplish that, they look better than what was in the picture. Mi Universe is my new, and only, nail salon. read more

I found my new spot. Very affordable, and very professional. I definitely will be back to get a mani and pedi. I really like the whole staff, but my girl is Hope. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

Get your nails done here !! The colors they use for your nails LAST !! I'm telling you !! Two thumbs up for that !! The colors last for almost month !! WOW ahahha the other places i've gone last for only about a week or sooo i'm tell you gotta come here for the nails ^^ As for eyebrow waxing...ehhhh not so great. I just got them done here today and It hurts !! the wax was hot !! For all the times i've gotten my eyebrows waxed it has never hurted this much and stayed red the whole day...=/ I wonder if the redness would go away by tomorrow... read more

I admit, I was a little skeptical to give this place a try with only 2 stars and two less than stellar reviews. But, they are near the house and I wanted to check it out. So me and my little tootsies toodled off for our adventure. The first visit was in October with Anna. She was a real sweetie and was very gentle. She did a very good job with my pedicure. My lil tootsies were looking great in Green Polish (my sister's favorite color). My next visit was on December 12. Anna wasn't available, so I took the technician du jour. I can't remember her name, but she did a good job also. I also opted for the eyebrow service, which was interesting to say the least. First of all, it's in the middle of the room, so everyone is all up in yo koolaid, so to speak. Then your chair, it doesn't recline, so you have to hunch your a$$ up and over some pillows so the lady can wax you. Now, she did do a good job, but I'm used to being in a special room, in private, mood music, you know.... This had shades of the shop on Georgia Street that I quit going to. The piece-de-resistance, she asked me if I wanted my mustache waxed. Uh, hello. It ain't a freakin mustache. Maybe 2 hairs on each side of my lip that if they were any smaller they'd be invisible. Prepubescent boys have more hair than I do. Heck, prepubescent boys would be ashamed to have what I have. I was insulted, can you tell? Oh, and you pay separately for the was than you do the manicure/pedicure, so you can't put it all on your credit card. FYI. Would I go again. Yes, for the pedicure. But really, I'd still drive to Sun Valley Mall and see Timmy at Loa Ann's. Nobody beats their service. read more

I used to like this place but I feel like their gel manicures come undone way faster than they should. Mine peeled off within a week. They also don't file enough around the nail once the polish is on. The lady also picked way too much at my cuticles and caused me to bleed. She stopped the bleeding by grabbing the SAME cotton ball she used to remove my toenail polish. So yeah I won't be coming back here again. read more

Excellent! My first visit was today and I'll go back. I had a mani/pedi and my husband had a pedi and we were both very pleased. The shop is organized, clean, and well taken care of. The staff is welcoming, helpful, friendly, professional, efficient, and the work is affordable. The massage chairs were so relaxing. Holly set the chair for me and the setting was perfect. Hopefully, this will end my search. It is currently cash only and I wish they would have told me that when I called to make the appointment, it would have been helpful. read more

I've been going to Mi Universe (Hope) since she opened and before at the old shop. I wouldn't go anywhere else. She's the best. Trust me my nails are hard to keep on and I am truly hard on my nails. jp - benicia, ca read more

I was going to Envy and getting my nails by David,but since the management changed although David was still there the prices had gone up. I decided to give this place a try since it was closer to my house, I made an appointment and was greeted and seated with Hope. She di an amazing job on my fill as well as massage. I may have found my new nail spot. read more

I remember when I first visit the salon Hope was very friendly and I told her my bad experienced in Concord Salon my pink and white was awful only lasted a week and that's why I visited her salon to rescue my nails and she did a fantastic job oh wow I couldn't believe it; last longer and the price are reasonable.... she's awesome and now we're like family. Thank you so much for the rescue now I have beautiful nails and lots of compliments!!!! read more

Nail Salons are a dime a dozen, but THIS is my spot :) I love the folks who work here. My gels are done well, my french tips last forever, my fills NEVER look thick. The pedi's are heavenly with unlimited polish choices. Designs for your fingers and tootsies are only limited by your imagination. Did I mention surgically clean? If you've ever hand a fungus infection from a pedi-bowl (which I have in this town), that should be at the top of your list. They are really busy, so make an appointment to ensure a spot. read more

Because of severe nerve pain and arthritis, I had stopped getting pedicures in a salon. Since it has been getting more and more difficult for me to take care of my feet, I tried Mi Universe. I am so pleased! Holly was gentle and did an excellent job. So happy that I have a place to go to for my pedicures from now on. read more

i've been coming to Mi Universe for about 4 years & i love it!! Hope is gracious and kind and gives me a great silk manicure. Holly is excellent at pedicures. they take walk-ins, too. always a pleasure having my nails done. thank you, Hope & Holly!! read more

Very disappointing. I saw on their website that gel is $20 and therer was a $5 coupon so I was exited but I got there and had nothing but problems. First while clipping my nails the older lady doing it clipped my cuticles to far and made THREE of them bleed. Then she was going to start painting and went to get the machine to dry them which caught fire BoTH times she tried turning it on. After realizing the cord was broken she told me they would try it with the machine built into the table which took a long time to dry them. Once they were painted she spent about 20 minutes cleaning off all the paint that had gotten onto my cuticles and fingers. In Total I was there for TWO hours! Just fr a gel manicure. When I paid they charged me $20...saying the gel is $25 minus the $5 coupon-even tho the website said $20. And now, less than 24 hours later, there are cracks in a bunch of my nails and I'm really upset but don't want to waste another two hours getting them to fix it. read more

RUDE. RUDE. RUDE. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon to get a spa pedicure. Saw they had 2 spa chairs available (out of 4). I kindly asked if I could get a spa pedicure. A lady who was working on a customer (possibly the owner) looked at me with a rude expression and said "No more". It was 2 in the afternoon and their hours posted for closing was 7pm. For whatever reason they had, it's just plain BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Needless to say, I'm never going back there again. read more

I am so happy to have finally tried this nail shop! Clean, friendly, excellent service and good prices. My feet are very sensitive nerve damange) and a pedicure is usually torture for me. Holly did a perfect job and I will definately be back! As one of the other reviewers mentioned, don't let the lack of a crowd deter you from trying them out. The only reason I didn't give 5 starts is because of the lack of color selection. They have a lot of reds/dark colors but that's about it. read more

Hope and holly never disappoint. My mom and I have been coming to them for years and won't stop any time soon! Clean, friendly, good atmosphere. read more

Hope and Holly are both amazing. The salon is clean, great customer service and better yet, the nail polish doesn't chip after 2 weeks!

I decided to give this place a try. I received a coupon for $5 off or some such thing. I tried a pink and white set with glitter and hated it. The pink was bright pink that I found super annoying and the nails were too thick for my liking. The nail lady that did my nails was super nice so I have to rate her more than one star. I haven't been back after I ripped the set off and won't be back. No one beats out Lisa from Canyon Nails, she's da best in the area! read more

I love this place! I have been a loyal customer for over 12 years. Hope is amazing at doing my fingernails just how I like them; and holy is magical with pedicures. They always remember people and make it personal which I love. I'll never go anywhere else. read more
