Mimi's is now my solid favorite for haircuts, excelling in cut, price, and time. The layering work is some of the best I've found. I especially love that you can opt for a dry cut, which I prefer since I have cowlicks that cause my hair to sit differently dry than wet. A dry cut better reflects how my hair will look day to day, dried with my consumer hairdryer and my selected part. Very great bonus that it also means I can be in and out in 15-20 min. Next time I need a manicure, I'm absolutely going here, based on my hair experience read more

Technicians refused to place nail tips and did not do a good job with cuticle cleaning or polish application. These are my nails just out of the salon. Very disappointing. read more

I was so happy to find Mimi after moving to Chicago a few years ago. My hair type makes it hard for someone to understand the waviness and texture. Mimi definitely understood the assignment. I always leave happy with the results and my hair has become so healthy since I began going to her salon. read more

I've been going to Mimi's since before she opened up her own spot and used to work in a barbershop in Uptown area. I like Mimi a ton because at this point she knows the cut I want and it's always a super efficient process. She's also really good at styling after the cut so I definitely appreciate that as well. Her pricing is pretty reasonable ($18 for a men's cut) and she is pretty accommodating on time. Parking in the back so that has also never been an issue. Vibe is a pretty casual spot. Usually some TV playing, but otherwise it's pretty chill. She offers a few other services like nails and some more intensive women's hair styling that I haven't done, but my sister in law is pretty loyal to. Definitely would recommend her. Support your local business! Especially woman owned! :) read more

Rough spot with great service! See past the construction and look at the quality and service you get !!! read more

Best pedicures and lovely owners. They also typically can do same day appointments. Highly recommend!

My girlfriend came in to Mimi's to retouch her roots for Japanese straightening perm - this is her review. For any curly haired person that's ever considered doing Japanese straightening, I would 100% recommend Mimi's Salon. It's a worthwhile investment to have frizz-free and pin straight hair for months at a really reasonable price point. Only a handful of salons offer this straightening treatment and Mimi does a fantastic job. She left my hair silky, healthy and flawlessly straight. Definitely come here to give hair rebonding/Japanese straightening perm a try! read more

I love this place. I moved to Lincoln Square three months ago and found this newly opened hidden gem of a place. From your initial walk in, you know this is a family establishment. They are friendly and small. Pros - it's quiet, they don't disrespect you Try to give you what you want (still growing business) Spacious Cons - (and I only have one) Grow your nail polish selection! Mimi's has a wonderful nail polish selection for shellac and gel but for regular, they can stand to grow a bit in selection. read more

I'm so happy to have found Mimi! I used to go to Chinatown to get my hair cut and was nervous I wouldn't find anything comparable in this area. She gave me a super cute cut & color, and styled it for me too. It was also one of the fastest cuts of my life but with 0 sacrifice in quality - I LOVE how it turned out. She really knows what she's doing! read more

They are fantastic! The nail art turned out great! I will definitely be going back!!! read more

For the longest time I didn't want to have my hair colored because of a traumatic experience in Chinatown. My hair got damaged, burnt and my long hair was cut short for $400+. For a year I had a very short hair. Fast forward to this day, I finally agreed to have the balayage and Mimi didn't fail. I am one satisfied customer. Great service. Also, I got free hair mask. Yay! read more

Mimi is hands down the best beautician I've had and one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She is incredible at creating full and natural looking eyelash extensions (see picture), she tints and waxes my eyebrows perfectly, and her husband gives manicures that last forever (see picture)! Mimi also cuts my hair and I get compliments all the time on my haircuts. She's an expert at all things beauty and I have grown to put all of my trust in her. Mimi is incredibly good at everything she does and is also extremely caring. Mimi even made accommodations for me during a twin pregnancy so that I could still come and get my eyelashes done even though I couldn't lay on my back for long periods of time. She always makes me feel beautiful and confident no matter what crazy stage of life I'm in. She also is super affordable. Summary from my personal experiences: 1) Mimi is an expert at eyelash extensions, haircuts and styling, eyebrow tinting and waxing, and her husband is awesome at all things nails. 2) Mimi is caring and accommodates the specific needs of her clients 3) Mimi will find a way to fit you into a schedule even for last minute emergencies 4) Mimi's prices are more affordable than any salon I've been to! read more

New updated review! Just came from Mimo's salon and she has amazed me AGAIN! Asked for all over honey highlights and she DELIVERED. I love love love my hair!

Mimi is super talented, she gave me the exact cut as the picture I brought, and I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair!

Highly recommend! Decided to do Japanese hair straightening with Mimi after reading all of the wonderful reviews. She took before and after pictures and I wish I had a copy of them. The change is amazing. Now I have straight silky smooth hair compared to the frizzy curly mess I started with. Mimi is amazing and took her time to make sure my hair turned out Fabulous. Thank you Mimi! read more

Absolutely in love with my hair! I had the same hair style and color for over 5 years and wanted a change but was also really scared. There are no regrets after coming to Mimi's salon. She did a great job giving me long layers and got the color just right. Definitely making this my go to salon (also prices are very reasonable!) read more

I'm not a big hair connoisseur so I went in for a simple trim and highlight. Came out with a stunning auburn balayage that looked exactly like the reference photo I showed Mimi. She taught me the differences between highlight and balayage techniques, and I must say I'm a fan of the latter now! read more

Mimi is such a caring, professional, and talented hairstylist. After getting a less than stellar haircut at another salon, I was relieved to have found Mimi on Yelp. She used to work at a hair salon in Argyle where I used to get a haircut so I was excited to hear that she opened up her own beauty salon. I was so disappointed with the other salon where I received my first haircut. The hair stylist didn't listen to what I wanted and when I asked him to fix it, he still didn't fix it. I was upset that the other salon didn't listen to the customer. I was relieved to find Mimi because she used to work at the salon where I got my first haircut and it hasn't been the same at the other salon. I messaged her on Yelp and she was quick to respond. I explained to her what happened at the other salon and she was willing to help fix my haircut and I was able to make an appointment with her for the next day. My hair is thick, frizzy Asian hair so I'm picky with who I choose to cut my hair. I showed her pictures and explained to her how I wanted my haircut to be done. She did amazing and I couldn't stop smiling while she was cutting my hair. I asked for an angled lob and she cut and styled it exactly the way I wanted. She said the other salon used shears to thin out my hair which made it choppy and uneven so she cut it evenly, added layers, and made my hair look so much better. I was so happy that she fixed my boring haircut from the other salon into a chic haircut that made me confident :) Prices are reasonable for $25 haircuts for women. Other services offered were mani and pedis, lash extensions, hair perms, and makeup. Her staff was so friendly and they offered small water bottles to drink. Thank you for the beautiful haircut, Mimi! I can't wait to come back for a trim. read more

Great service as well as great recommendations. Went here last minute while wanting to treat myself and after moving to a new city and I don't regret it. He helped recommend what lengths looked good with what shape and these pictures are 3 days later, no chips or annoying bumps on the acrylic. Highly recommend for both price and worth. read more

When I walked in I was immediately greeted and everyone was smiling. Mimi listened to what kind of haircut I was looking for (long layers, Asian hair) and did exactly that. She took her time and did not rush at all. I also decided to get my eyebrows waxed and she did a great job arching them and not taking too much off. I think it was even better than European Wax Center. Will definitely go back for my next haircut and eyebrow wax! :) read more

Update: Worst Nightmare! Don't do cluster "eyelash extensions." I went for a mani, Pedi on Sunday because I had my wedding anniversary dinner that night. Everything was going well until I decide to add some extra to look beautiful that night. I asked Mimi about the clusters because I just wanted something for that night and yes it was my fault not being aware or do a research about this type of "extensions," but this is why I want to do this review. I want other people to know how bad it was and not to try it because it is "cheap" ($25). Mimi told me I could do the other single extensions, but those are $60, I said, I want something for tonight (so naive). Then she said ok, but sometimes people asked me to get them to remove them, because they are heavyweight, I thought, can't be that bad... Well, it was worse than that, the amount of glue Mimi use on my eyes it was insane! I could barely open my eyes. I look like someone punched me in the face. Those things for melted with your natural eyelashes on glue!! Those look super fake, like thick plastic stripes. I told Mimi how this could be something that people like to do? Do people request for this? This is awful! She keeps on saying: I told you! Ok, then my bad! But the nightmare was about to start. I asked her to remove them. I was already late to get ready for my date. She said, sit; I'll remove them. I closed my eyes, and she used a liquid that burns like hell!! I feel super anxious she didn't say anything else, and I was super stress and worried. I told her, this is burning my eyes, I need to was my face, she said, no you have to wait. At some point, I just felt sad, and I just wanted to leave, but I couldn't open my eyes, my husband was texting me, I couldn't answer... You can imagine. Nobody was talking to me at that point. I wait, and I said, please I need to wash my eyes, then another lady came, she helps a little bit. I finally went and washed my face. My eyes were more than irritated, my natural eyelashes we're lumped together with the rest of the glue. By that point, Mimi was already cutting somebody else's hair; she didn't care. She just told Tony to charge me for the removal of the lashes and the Pedi and the many that I ended up ruin trying go get ready for my date. We almost miss the reservation that my husband got for our dinner. It's Tuesday morning; I still have glue on my eyes. I am not as angry as I was. I want to help other people with this review. I have found some articles about this cluster nightmare.

A gel mani and regular pedicure were well needed after several months of inferior do it yourself pampering attempts due to COVID. The nail tech took my temperature at the door and masks were required for the duration and I was told only one person was allowed in at a time. There was a person getting their hair done and left before they started on me so I believe it. Nice place with free parking in the back and a great spot to walk to from the house. read more

I would have given her 10 stars or more if I could. Mimi always takes good care of her clients and she really knows what she's doing. Prices are very reasonable but the service is extra ordinary. Hair color is beyond pretty. Her facial is to die for.... soooooo relaxing and good, I highly recommend it. Thank you Mimi for always taking good care of me. I'll see you soon again read more
