They got me right in for a wax clean up but took 1/3 of my brows which were already very thin :/ I explained I only wanted them cleaned up and NOT shaped. Should have known when most workers had only micro bladed brows and now I feel like I need them or a pencil. Outer third is completely gone now. Super bummed and regret tipping the tech since we were crammed in a tiny room with another tech and customer and I couldn't see in the mirror with prints all over it. read more

It's been many many years since I've gone to Mimi Salon for my mani but today something told me to give them a GO (actually, it was the closet salon in my travels down S. Grand but whatever) I'm glad I decided to stop in for service. I waited at least a week too long for my mani/pedi and my brows were also going crazy so I reluctantly allowed Mimi to have its way with me. I get Gel Polish over my real nails for a short, neat, natural look. I also got a pedi; which was quick but very thoroughly done in the massage chair; also with matching pink Gel polish. The brow wax made me nervous because I cherish my thick brows. I only like them shaped slightly to get rig of fly aways lol... The tech did an amazing job at each and every service. Sure this place is tucked away in a tiny corner building resembling a shack, yes it's clustered and the techs are probably a bit rough around the edges but I classify them as "seasoned" I'll be back again for sure. This was $57 dollars well spent. read more

See all

So I have been here about 5 times now. And the first visit was very pleasant with a nice lady. After that, I am always assigned to this one guy who I'm starting to get annoyed with. He smokes between each client and does not wash his hands after smoking. He puts on a coat before going out for a smoke and takes off the jacket, but the smell is still pungent when he sits in front of me to do my nails. Towards the end of a gel color change, he starts to get hasty and the job gets sloppier. I've noticed this all 4 times I have had him now. In addition to this, the second time I came here, I asked what the prices were for each service. I wrote them down for future reference. Well... I have been keeping all 5 receipts and writing on the back what nail service I had done, just because I felt like there was an inconsistency in the pricing. And yesterday was the final proof. A prior visit on 10/22/18 had stated that I paid $23 for gel polish change hand ($15) + regular polish change toes ($8). Well yesterday, I was charged gel polish change hand ($18) + regular polish change toes ($8) = $26. I asked the cigarette guy "last time it was $23?" He responded that in October I asked for regular polish removal to gel polish change hand, whereas yesterday I went from removing gel polish to gel polish change on my hands. So there is a $3 difference between them taking off regular polish vs. gel polish. Had this been the case every time I visited, I would not have cared. But I went home and looked at all my receipts and his explanation was not consistent. Honestly, $3 is not the issue here. I am bothered by the inconsistency and how he talked crap about me to his co-worker sitting next to him for pointing out the price difference. What am I supposed to do? Bring my stack of receipts and point out that he's wrong? No, that would be petty. I think I will go back to this place one last time, request for the female who did my nails during my first visit, and see if the non-cigarette fingers touching me will make the experience better. As for the actual nails... he never does a great job. It's always ok. Again, he gets jittery towards the end of doing your nails because he needs to go smoke and there's always sections of my nail that's not painted on the sides of my fingers. Yesterday he somehow coated my nails with gel so that when cured, my nails were pointy and sharp. When I pointed out that my nails were all sharp and felt like sandpaper, he just filed them down -_- lol At this point I was just ready to leave so I stayed silent and let him pretend to fix my nails. This place is cheap, but I'm starting to see that the quality varies with who you get and the prices seem to change too... read more

Quick service. Would definitely return if I am in the area. I got a mani-pedi. It did get a little busy towards the end of my visit there, but there was enough staff. I went on a Thursday read more

Mimi Salon - Nails with regular polish. - Hair Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I get manicures very infrequently and stopped by here since it's near my home. I am a white woman. From the moment I walked in, I received better and faster service than the people of color waiting in line. The situation was very uncomfortable and unfortunate. Do not come here. read more

So far is the only Good nail salon in St Louis and the best part... is cheap!! Try to go odd days. Wkds are very busy. Sundays are Close! read more

Mimi Salon - So far is the only good place in St Louis!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Got acrylic gel nails from here and it went very well! I very much enjoyed having the male nail artist (I do not know his name or I would recommend him). He was very attentive to my nails and asked if I liked the shape, length, color, and finished product. Overall, he didn't speak to me, but I would very much prefer the quality of someone's work versus the social aspect of it. I liked my nails at the end of the session, he even went back to clean under my nails when he saw I was touching it, goes to show his attention to detail. The place itself isn't a glamorous nail salon, but I think they do their work well and for the price, it's a good deal. read more

I've been to Nail me good in Florissant twice, today is my first day here and the difference is remarkable thanks MiMi!!

I absolutely love this place and I come here every time I want to get my nails done. It is pretty wild with its decor. It's a mixture of 80s decor with an Asian twist. Definitely different than if you were to go to a shop in West County and half the price at that. Manis - $10 Pedis - $20 Eyebrows - $7 They do an excellent job everytime, and I see no flaws in their work. The only reason I am not giving this place a 5 star rating is how they conduct the waits. It can get a little crowded, and the way the handle them isn't exactly top notch. Like they will point at you to come as the next person without asking if you are even the next one in line. So bottom line -- not as organized. Other than that -- it's all good, yo! read more

With 80's nails posters on the walls and Asian inspired statues looking out through the window you'll know you definitely aren't in Kansas anymore. When you walk in you'll immediately be asked by one of the nail techs what you want. Pedicure, Manicure, Eyebrow wax, etc. You can then pick the color you want. They do carry OPI but I'm pretty sure they dilute it. They also offer design, either hand paint or airbrush. This is really cool watching them hand paint the design on and is only a few dollars more. If you're getting a pedicure I wouldn't recommend having the massaging feature on the chair turned on. You aren't given any controls for this and the massage knobs in the chair are pushed out so far that it is uncomfortable instead of relaxing. All in all this place is okay for a quick pedicure. It's definitely the cheapest I've seen around and the polish doesn't chip off too easily. read more

I really liked this place. I got a nail polish change with a design, eyebrows, and a pedicure for $36. I really enjoyed that the guy who did my pedi and nails did not really talk. I enjoy the awkward silence. It gives me time to think. After a long day of work, I like to skip the small talk. He was also very thorough and his work was clean. I went on a Thursday in the late afternoon, and I was the only one there. After about fifteen minutes, a lot of people came in asking to get their eyebrows done. I liked how the woman did my eyebrows. They weren't too thin and they were defined. I have a hard time shaping my own brows :/ For the price and the thoroughness, I will be back again- probably every week for a nail polish change and a design, and every month for a pedicure as long as I can afford it :) read more

Crowded and uncomfortable. I was very worried when a shouting match broke out between some customers. Didn't even wait for my toes to dry - I couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Best place in the area to get your nails done! I've never had to wait more than five minutes for a tech and they actually talk to you! I've been in a couple times and I think I'm becoming a regular read more

$7 eyebrow waxing, yes please! Area is kind of shady, and workers were giving themselves pedicures when I walked in. But one worker hopped up instantly and did a good job. read more

Quick and good service, a nice staff and an overall pleasant experience :) it's not the cleanest place ever so if you're one of those who needs a super duper modern experience than this is not for you. read more

Basic pedi & mani spot minus ANY frills. But good service & the best price. I got pedi, gel nail, eyebrow & lip waxed for $50 w/o tip. I'll be back. read more

I decided to try this place because they had good reviews for their work and it was a short walk from my house. I unfortunately didn't get to experience their service. As it was a Saturday morning I expected to wait. Then 2 people that arrived after me were seated before me. After the second time, one of the workers noticed it and apologized saying "5 more minutes". I waited another 15 minutes and then walked out. Never again. read more

Love this place AND they do an awesome job!! Prices are cheap for the services. The wait isn't bad either because you are constantly entertained by the patrons that walk in this place. Today, I had the opportunity to purchase $300 Michael Kors watches for $75 and Chanel sunglasses for $15. A steal? Probably. read more

I was really excited seeing all the great reviews. We got there and waited forever, which normally I wouldn't mind but there was only 2 people working and one just standing around. Some dude was trying to sell us fake purses and was a complete asshole. I had 3 different people work on my nails and all had bad attitudes. When I called ahead of time and asked about the gel they told me 15 when really it was 15 extra on top of the manicure price. VERY DIRTY. The last man who worked on my nails (why there was more than one I dont know) definitely cut me and didnt apologize. When I asked him to do an extra coat he refused, so they are now transparent. The gel is uneven and very sloppy. Unsanitary, rude, and bad manicurists. Dont know how this place ever got a good review. Would rather pay the extra 5$ to go to a way better salon. read more

I waited for 45 minutes to get my nails done...patiently I might add. Well, they waited on another customer who had only been in the shop for maybe 15 minutes. I will NEVER GO TO YOUR SHOP AGAIN...YOU JUST LOST ANOTHER CUSTOMER!!!! Learn customer service skills jeeeeese!! read more

Love this place. Staff are friendly, prices are pretty cheap. It may look a little sketchy from the outside and I can't seem to find their actual sign, and their nail color choices could use a revamping. Regardless this is my go-to place for a mani-pedi. read more

Came here with my friend on a Sunday (4/2/17) around 3:30 PM and although they advertise they are open on Sundays until 5 PM, they were closed. Very disappointing because we've come before and were satisfied. read more

Was a tad nervous to try out a place in the city. I live so close to this place that I just had to try it. I am not a nail salon snob so if you are you probably won't like it as much as an upscale place. don't provide drinks or anything, but I had a great experience. got in quick, attention to detail, didn't feel rushed and only $20. my toes look great. I will definitely go back soon. read more

My only complaint is the up keep of this place, the pedi chairs & tub should be cleaned better than jus spraying bathroom foam cleaner & than rinsed right out!! Smhh spray some bleach...let it sit 2-4 min then scrub & rinse. Becareful i had fungus in my toe thanks to them its gone now with a very good home treatment but i won't get a pedi here until i see them change their cleaning routine. read more

I went here because the reviews were great and I don't mind a little shadiness. And I was severely disappointed. First of all it is not clean. The man that did my nails made me bleed a bit, not his fault I had a hang nail, however he continued to use his tools without wiping it or letting me wipe it off. Gross. Their polish selection is awful (if you like red or pink this place is for you, any other color, I prefer dark colors, STAY AWAY. My biggest complaint however was when I asked for medium length almond nails. He started doing them and on the first nail asked if I liked the shape. I said "I think so" but upon further examination changed my mind. I said they were just a little too rounded for what I wanted and that I'd like them narrower. Mind you he was in the middle of shaping my second nail...not that far into the manicure. He refused because he said the shape I had looked better on my hand (FALSE) he just didn't want to continue filing. He didn't check to see that they were all the same length (they're not), nor did he round them all out evenly! He then (and I'm aware that it is common practice in some salons) asked for the money before he had painted my nails (meaning I had to leave a decent tip in order to get my nails painted well, with this service that was not something was planning to do.) He also uncharged me two dollars without telling me why. This place was horrible. I came in asking for medium almond nails left with short uneven, poorly rounded old lady nails. NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. read more

I've had my nails for a week tomorrow and so far 5 have fallen off. I always have gel fake nails and have NEVER had them fall off so soon. They were sloppily done. Never coming back read more
