Admittedly a high pressure sale but ultimately, everyone I encountered was very nice. I spent far more money than I planned to, but if I get the kind of results promised, not more than getting botox and facials and peels. It's been a month and so far Ive seen considerable improvement in my skin and reduction in wrinkles and skin texture. It's only been one month..... I'll post some before and after pics in a couple of months. read more

I've walked past Mia's several times while visiting Manhattan Village, and over time I started noticing a difference in how interactions seemed to happen. At first, I questioned whether I was overthinking it. But yesterday really left me uncomfortable. I noticed that while walking by, the two women working there avoided eye contact and put their heads down. A short while later, I watched them warmly engage with another customer in a way that I personally had never experienced there--not once have I been offered a sample or approached about their products. After witnessing that difference in treatment, I asked for a business card, and Jenni responded with a tone that felt dismissive, asking, "What for?" Then her coworker followed with, "You look familiar." And truthfully, the experience left me feeling like Black women are not viewed there as the standard of beauty worth engaging with or welcoming in the same way. Whether intentional or not, that was the impression I walked away with--and it didn't feel good. Maybe others will have a different experience, but mine left me feeling unseen and unwelcome, and that's something businesses should really think about. read more

I'm so glad I didn't fall the aggressive sales tactics. I remember meeting a beautiful sales lady with obvious kardashian plastic face features. I didn't feel comfortable with the $900 price tag and I walked away. After reading the reviews, I'm grateful that I walked away. Trust your gut read more

I visited Manhattan Village to buy Christmas gifts for my grandchildren, and one of the sales associates introduced me to the eye device. The results were impressive right away. I've been searching for years for a non-invasive solution to the fine lines that developed over time, as I preferred to avoid Botox and similar treatments. I was genuinely surprised to discover such an effective and simple option. Using it once a week fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly didn't expect to purchase anything that day, but the experience and the results convinced me. Thank you, Mia's. Merry Christmas!! read more

Warning: do not accept "free samples" from these people. It's just a trap to pull you in and aggressively pressure you into buying overpriced skincare products you've never heard of. When we stood our ground and didn't buy anything, the salesman's attitude completely flipped. He actually made a incredibly rude, insulting comment to my companion just because we walked away. Absolutely pathetic behavior and zero professionalism. Avoid at all costs! read more

It was high high high pressure sales tactics/ non-stop. Behavior so far off the charts it was alarming. Made me decide that the spa/ and people who work there - is a scam. Don't go. If you go, be prepared to stand up and walk out and be sure you've got your wallet when you go! They're worse that any pick-pocket I ever dealt with in NYC! read more

The staff are very attentive to get you trapped and scam you into paying for over priced skin care products and a facial routine which they never follow up with or even care to be honest. But I guess it is to be expected when shopping in Manhatten Beach Villlage, where they seriously target bored housewives or vulnerable divorcees who need uplifting to feel good about themselves literally- so beware! read more

If you want to feel UGLY, accept a sample from the young sales rep standing by the door. I hope I don't have psychological damage from this interaction. Do I want creme for my dark circles or creme for my wrinkles? Step inside, and try both products! DON'T do it! I never felt bad about my appearance until this afternoon. Nothing like a 20-something pointing out flaws in a 40-something. Horrible experience! (Also, she's not exactly "wrong," but I genuinely hadn't noticed before.). :'( read more

Mia's - The free sample that ruined my day. I never felt so ugly. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Terrible high pressure tactics to get you to buy overpriced products and then they don't verbally disclose that their 7 Day return policy doesn't apply if the product is discounted, which most of them are. A $1,000 eye serum discounted to $500 should be returnable if the buyer changes their mind within that time period! I got a refund but not after a lot of work. They also accost you down by Macy's as you try to make your way down the mall. read more

Biggest scammers. Stay away from here. Don't fall for the cheap facial ad on Instagram to lure you in. Likewise, if you accept their samples don't let them put the ridiculous eye cream on you. You can buy Plexaderm Rapid (same ingredients) at CVS for much less. DON'T BUY ANYTHING HERE! Run, Run, Run Away from this Place!!! read more

This is a scam joint, pull you inside, then try to sell you a $1,000 cream and $600 "addition product." It's a scam, stay away.....

Similar experience to what others have posted. Walking through Manhattan Village declined a free sample, continue to go along coming out of Bath & Body Works same girl gives me another sample, which is special for sensitive skin... continues to pull me into their spa and point out my wrinkles and talks up their special product, designed by NASA. I gasp, really NASA?! Because honestly, I can't believe NASA is in the business of developing skin care products now. I don't know how I got roped into this, but I'm trying to find an exit strategy as fast as I can. When she tells me it's $700 I gasp again and tell her I couldn't possibly buy something like that without talking to my spouse first. She says does he ask you before he buys things for golf and tennis? I truly cannot understand. This conversation is actually happening. Somehow I manage to get out of there with caked on by product under my eye and something from the cotton ball in it! She gave me her card and tells me I can come back before 3 and she'll give me a deal for $400 and two free things. ME: sure, let me call my husband right now LOL read more

I love going into Mia for My daily routine products and Neck Solution !!! I'm a client 2 years already and love coming in here for facials with Isabelle , she's amazing and professional. My guy is David and Sheli they always so helpful and I already referred 4 of my friends ! We all between 62-74 and grateful for finding this place. I live over 30 years with my beloved husband in Manhattan beach and we have never had such an amazing place in our community. Thank you Mia's you changed my life . read more

an invitation by the young person standing at the door and he put some stuff under my eyes, which was supposed to stop the puffiness. When it dried, it felt very flaky and tight, and actually resulted in my face swelling up where he had put ... So I would say don't accept an offer from somebody standing at the door trying to tell their products. I believe the name of the products is Avinichi and it is extremely expensive. read more

Great service and really wonderful product. Purchased anti-aging eye solution. Barak was a pleasure to work with.

Okay, listen. You're in a wealthy pocket of LA. Manhattan Beach Village/El Segundo is idyllic. This small mall is pretty much all vendors serving the wealthy housewives (w/ time & $) demographic. So don't be surprised if there are some solicitous shops. And it's not a "kiosk", it's an actual retail store space just like Apple across from it. And the beautiful young woman at the door was just doing her job. Jessica Alba is a millionaire because she sells beauty/body products by the boatload bc people want to look like her. The lovely young woman at the entrance got me too. Although I had no intention of buying I didn't want to be rude. But her approach was assertive, but polite. I tried the sample, but said I'm just not in the market for this product right now. But yeah she was beautiful and young, that's something that she might not be aware of. Anyway, hey beauty products are a skyrocketing industry, so you can thank Cindy Crawford and Bazaar Magazine for that! read more

David stopped me in the Manhattan Village Mall. He put on some eye serum on one eye only then proceeded to push for a sale. He tried to sell the eye serum for $1500, then reduced the price to $300. I've fallen for those sales tactics before from another brand, so I knew to walk away. read more

My first mistake was making eye-contact with a sales rep at the kiosk outside Mia's Beauty Bar. It was after Christmas 2022 and I let my guard down. The sales clerk showed me the "Anti-Aging Rescue Solution" for the dark circles under my eyes and I was impressed. The next mistake was to be guided into Mia's retail store at the Manhattan Beach Mall, CA to meet Louis, who I was told was the "owner". As the "owner", he made promises that proved to be a lie. Part of the deal to get me to buy product was that I would get 12 "free" facials to be used within one year. Louis requested that when I call to book, I ask for him directly. Interesting how I was never able to find him at the store and he didn't return my calls. When I finally asked to speak to the store "manager", she informed me that she would not agree to this deal and would only allow 2 facials. However, the first availability would be 3 months away. She was as rude and obnoxious as everyone I interacted with in December . Even knowing that I was being groomed for a huge sale, I hung around. The process was horrible, and I've regretted the entire event. The one product that I did like was the "Anti-Aging Rescue Solution". Although the price on record was $1,400 for .053 oz., it soon became obvious that everything is negotiable. When I refused to purchase at the suggested price, and pricing started dropping, ended around $325 per tube. As things progressed, I was offered an additional "Rescue Solution" at no charge. (I still think I overpaid.) I was told that one "syringe" would last me a year. Imagine my shock when the tube lasted less than 3 month. Before the tube was empty, however, the pump broke, locking about 2" of product inside. The paint on the tube started to breakdown causing unwanted flakes to appeared like glitter on everything I touched. In April, I opened the second "syringe". Imagine my surprise when the second "syringe" fell apart the end of June. Just like the first one, the package fell apart, the pump broke and again product stuck inside. I have photos, and will post them on social media shortly. Nothing I was told was accurate. Louis (owner) requested that I call the store and ask for him directly when I wanted to book a facial. I'm sure he knew that I would never get a return call. I don't live in CA, & return a few times a year. I will force myself to go in to Mia's on my next visit to see what I can salvage from this terrible transaction. Save yourself the heartache and stay away from Mia's. read more

I am updating my review. The owner rectified the situation in an extremely professional manner. It was much appreciated.

I too was pounced on by a sales person standing at the door, who started by the quick giveaway sample, then wanted to rub the product into your skin and then enticed you into the store to 'dry the product'. This was a ploy to get you into the store and sit you down and give the hard sell. Their tactics are a disgrace to be honest. I let my guard down and ended up with a bill of 159 dollars plus the tax. When I saw this, I told the girl I had changed my mind however it was too late, they told me only the owner could refund and he was not there and the store was closing due to them being Jewish. Their statement also says there is no refund, therefore she was lying. I feel violated, that experience has put me off ever visiting Manhattan Village every again. read more

love it!!!!!!love the service and the eyes lift . Im definitely recommend about them
