The hair stylist and manicurist are great. Don't get me wrong. It's the management that sucks here. Twice they have cancelled appointments on me with no notice. The first time, they did call me but I was at work and since I didn't have their number saved in my phone, I didn't answer the random number that called. But they couldn't be bothered to leave a message that my hair stylist had to go home sick. Just leave a message. It's easy. The second time I had an early appointment right when they opened. I got there three minutes early and it was dark inside and no one was there. I went to get a coffee and came back 15 minutes later to them telling me that I couldn't take my appointment because I was late. Considering every time I go there I usually sit there waiting for 15 minutes anyway, I seriously didn't see what their deal was. I got there three minutes before my appointment and the place wasn't open. I called and got no answer. No one bothered to call me when I was apparently a no show. Like I said, I like their stylists but the management combined with the fact that I do think they are a tad over priced....I'm probably going to be shopping around for a new place to go. I like the girls I go to but I feel like I can find people that are just as good minus the hassle. read more

Getting a bikini wax is never an easy thing. And when you're distracted with the thoughts of having your most sensitive area ripped to shreds, it's somewhat difficult to appreciate all the aspects of what makes these places worth coming to. Yet I must say... this was by far the best waxing experience I ever had. They take walk-in's! No more hustling around Pink Cheeks schedule. Parking... meters right out the front door, up the street, around the block, in the plaza...need I go on. Service and ambience was friendly and serene. The torture chamber had a chandelier above the bed; nice touch in addition to the twinkle pain stars I'd be seeing soon. Experienced waxer. I can't emphasize this enough. I once had a woman in France who was so inexperienced I thought I was in a bad scene from Pulp Fiction. So in other words...God Bless Gina for being so good I was done and over before I started thinking to myself, "WHY THE HELL DO I DO THIS!" And the best part - I paid $40 for a Brazilian plus a $10 tip. They have great specials! Pink Cheeks - kiss goodbye. I've found a new spot and they're much cleaner than you. Oh, and their wax is better. read more

I have been going to Mimosa salon for about four years now. Between my hair, nails, and eyebrows, I am there about every other week, that's a lot! In all that time I have never left feeling anything but great! Tanna has always done my hair; I get highlights, cut, and sometimes hair strengthening treatments. I'm always super pleased with the results. Tanna is very meticulous in her work and it always shows. She also cuts my husbands hair every month. She's super sweet snd fun to chat with, and I prefer her blow outs to any Dry bar. Julie waxes my brows and is a master of her art. My eyebrows have never looked better, and right on trend. Liz does my gel mani and pedi! She's very good and gentle. My gel always lasts the full two weeks and cuticles look great. Everyone at the salon is very friendly. The front desk girls are very polite and the owner Rose always knows you by name. I don't make a lot of recommendations with my name attached to it, but in this case I'm confident in doing so. read more

Groupon offered a great deal. Monica did an amazing job on my hair (and with naturally curly hair i usually leave looking like a poof ball) Rose was so accommodating when groupon messed up my gift groupon that was suppose to be a birthday present. They made me feel like a long time customer from the moment i contacted them, they did a great job on my hair, they now have a long term customer in me. If you want great service and great hair go to Mimosa. read more

I've been going to Gabriella for around 18 months for brazilian/playboy waxes. She's very friendly and funny. I always have pleasant experience with her. I had my first bikini wax experience with Gabriella, and she put me at ease. She takes her time; set aside at least a half hour for a bikini wax. She's always very sweet and tells me how tough I am. :-P Since she's had her baby girl, Mimosa has hired a new waxer who I didn't like as much. I don't remember her name, but she doesn't seem to be as personable. Also I don't think she does as good a job as Gabriella. If you want to go to Gabriella, make sure to ask for her by name - I think she only works on the weekends though. I've never had my hair cut by their stylists so I can't attest to those services. The staff is really friendly and calls me by name. They are usually able to fit me in on the day I ask, and once I called the day-of and they were able to fit me in. Every once in a while they will call me to let me know about a special they are running. Their prices seem a little steep even for South Bay, but not overly so. Make sure to bring some cash for tipping; they do take cards, but won't let you put the tip on the receipt. I've brought in $20s before and they'll break them for you if you say they're for the tip. ========UPDATE=========== I've just been informed that the waxer I complained about doesn't work at Mimosa anymore and that there's a new girl (Gina) who is a lot better. Gina is really sweet and funny and does a fantastic job waxing. So I'll definitely be back for my Brazilians! read more

I've never had a better haircut than the one I get from Paul. No joke...he's insanely good. The ladies are all super cute too, and wash amazing hair to boot! Make sure to bring cash for the tip - they won't let you tack it on to the credit card. read more

I booked a last-minute appointment today for a curly Ouidad cut with Saudi. She did a great job...she listened to what I was asking for, I showed her a few photos, & the cut turned out great! I will go back. read more

Just started getting waxed here..Although its a bit pricey its clean and everyone that works there seems very nice and hip! I think its worht paying those extra 10 dollars instead of going to a nail palce to get it done. Im happy with my decision to go here! read more

Update: I kept going to Mimosa until Natalia went on maternity leave (happy for her, sad for my hair!) and loved it more and more each time. I made the big mistake of trying a new place when she left and got a totally screwed up cut RIGHT before a big interview! After making a frantic last minute appointment to get it fixed at Mimosa, Megan took me on a Friday afternoon and made it look a million times better. THANK YOU, MEGAN!!! I highly recommend this place... everyone I've dealt with is amazing, the stylists listen and take their time, and it's a relaxing experience. ps. I ended up getting the job... in Washington DC. So now I need to find a salon this good on the East coast. They'll have big shoes to fill. read more

2 1/2 Stars (rounded up) My regular eyebrow lady was out of town, so I rolled the dice and came here. Gina did a decent job, and it was only $15, but I'm pretty set on stickin w/ my regular spot. read more

Best bikini wax in town hands down. I have been going to Gina for years and have been to others there as well who are also great. I just adore her. She makes the experience not only tolerable and pain free but enjoyable. She is a doll and it is really the only painless wax I have ever had and I am a sensitive pale girl ... HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

What a find! A clean, pretty, friendly establishment with top notch spa services, at a reasonable price. I feel like I found my own little boutique nail salon! Lots of gel and shellac colors. No smelly fumes. Everything used on your nails is fresh and new - including the files. Nothing but praise for Mimosa! read more

GINA GINA GINA! if you are getting a wax you have to go with her! Last week was my first time going into mimosa, Gina was super nice and made it 100% painful. She was talking to me the whole time and made me feel really comfortable. Usually I hate talking during a wax cuz if I open my mouth a scream will probably come out from the pain. But the hard wax mixed with soft wax and having an expert like Gina made it soooo much better! Never going anywhere else! Thankyou!!! -I'm actually excited to go again! And no one is ever excited to get a wax! This place is awesome! read more

Just saw Alicia after my girlfriend recommended her for a haircut. GREAT experience with a beautiful haircut as a result. Alicia took time to consult me honestly regarding what I was looking for and had very helpful advice based on my hair type. I brought pictures along and she did an amazing job at giving me the style I wanted :) read more

I've had blowouts here and they do a fantastic job. Recently I had a cut and color by Paul - it was amazing and I don't say that often. I was kinds of apprehensive because his energy is super high, but he really does care about your cut and delivers. Thank you Paul! read more

Gina does my brows--she is the only person I trust to wax an amazing brow! She is such a sweetheart and always makes me feel relaxed; I could nap in her room in the back, it's so relaxing! I am typically allergic to wax or have some sort of reaction to it, be it mild or moderate, and with Gina those reactions have ceased to occur. Her price is very very reasonable at $15 (I have had terrible wax jobs for several times that in Beverly Hills), and she isn't impossible to book. For nails, Liz is awesome. I LOVE her shellac mani -- it lasts more than 2 solid weeks without chipping and she charges $40, which is less than many other places. It's perfect for vacations or special events when you need a mani to really last and look perfect. Liz is friendly and fun and always does an immaculate job on my mani/pedis. The pedicure is one of the most relaxing I've had. Definitely book an appt. for the shellac manicure and give it a shot. read more

My first time here I got my hair done by Jessica, she gave me exactly what i was looking for. The past couple times I've been getting my hair done by Aria, and every time I've gone in she has exceeded my expectations. I get so many compliments on how natural and well blended my hair looks. I have been going to Liz for a while now to get my nails done, not your typical gel nails. She has a variety of nail art such as flowers, poke dots, glitter, strawberry etc. I just love the ambience of this salon, everyone is so friendly and attentive. read more

I posted an innocent picture of myself on Facebook saying how much I loved my new cut by Tanna, and almost all my friends liked it, and it generated so many nice comments I felt embarrassed. My friends are the intellectual kind who don't usually care much about appearance ( and I love then for that). But this cut was really cute, especially considering that I am more that 40 and not as pretty as I used to be. It reconciled me with my mirror. Tanna is professional, friendly , exceedingly talented, with an eye for fashion. Highly recommended. read more

I have been going to Mimosa for the past four years or so. I have been NOTHING but satisfied with the service I get here. Amy is AWESOME!! Not only does she do a great job cutting hair, but she is very personable!! While I find paying $35 for a men's haircut slightly on the more ridiculous side, she does a GREAT job, knows how I like my hair cut, shampoos, conditions, and then re-shampoos and styles after my cut. It is LA and you will pay a lot for personal services, however, Mimosa and Amy specifically are worth it. read more

Went in for a simple cut and came out with an amazing cut,blowout and curl. Shelby was amazing at knowing what length I wanted and still gave my hair a fresh look for fall So happy with my haircut and the light and bright atmosphere makes getting a haircut less horrible (I avoid getting it cut for months). Highly recommend :) read more

This review is only about nails - I have never had my hair done here. I started doing shellac nails just before moving back to SoCal, I was really concerned about finding a new place that wouldn't trash my nails and actually carried CND shellac vs having to start doing gel. I also wanted to find a place that wasn't your stereotypical nail salon where everyone talks about the customers in a foreign language. Check check and check down my list Mimosa won. I had been in for waxing a few years ago before I moved away and I knew they would fit my criteria so I booked an appt. I was not let down! Lisa is amazing. I never have any of the issues that I've seen on other business's yelp pages, they always last for at least 2 weeks, and never chip, fade, or peel. They're always on time and don't over book just to make you wait. Best part - they have an amazing package deal $100 for four appointments including removal of the old polish (which is something I had never heard of being charged for outside of LA). I've paid upwards of $55 per appointment after removal and tip, now I'm paying $35 after tip! read more

I do my nails here sometimes, so I can't say anything about their cut or color services. Liz is precise, and she is patient with me as I try to pick a color. They don't have a huge selection of OPI polish, but it's enough to find something you'll like. I wish they had a few more reds to choose from. I don't understand why the mani is $20. In Los Angeles I can get a perfect mani for $15, but in the South Bay prices are inflated. I don't get it. But of the South Bay nail salons I've been to (5, I think), this one is my favorite. I had a Bumble & Bumble promotional card from Sephora, and it was for a free style/blow-dry/whatever at a participating salon. JP braided my hair and did an excellent job. It stayed in for almost three days and I loved it. My husband loved it. I think I'll probably do it again. Customer service at the front desk is very good. I've purchased Bumble & Bumble products here, and with a Yelp check-in you get 10% off your product purchase. read more

Julie has been doing my eyebrows and upper lip for YEARS and she is absolutely amazing. She always is happy to see me, so easy to talk to, and when it gets down to the waxing there is almost no pain! My eyebrows have not looked this good in years. I don't even need to tell her what to do, she always knows what will look good and never waxed them too thin. I live in Chicago for half of the year but I always wait until I am home in SoCal to get Julie to do my eyebrows and lip! Highly recommend!! read more

I have been going to Mimosa for approximately 4 years now, and refuse to go anywhere else. Even in this "recession", I will forego food or other necessities, in order to get my hair done at Mimosa. And yes, I have tried many other salons in the Southbay, however, I've experienced far too much of the pretentious, stuck-up, and/or we-are-too-important attitude that should only be restricted to Beverly Hills, and not the beachy-casual Hermosa, Redondo, or Manhattan Beach cities. (You all who live here know exactly what I mean, and I know you all secretly agree with me!) AMY is my hair-heroine! I've had just about every possible procedure done to my hair, and she's always been spot-on in her suggestions, her technique is infallible, and she definitely has an eye for artful conception especially with color (I get compliments on my hair color constantly!). More importantly however, aside from her obvious talents with hair, Amy is genuinely warm, friendly, attentive, and quite simply an outstanding person! Then there's Paul. Paul is the rockstar of hairstylists! As a person, he's outgoing, dynamic, and animated. As a stylist, he's edgy, avant-garde, and posses a talent worthy of the trendiest of Westside salons. But it's the vivaciousness of Paul's laughter that truly creates the fun energy that permeates throughout the salon. Rose is the owner and heart of Mimosa. She's sweet, accomodating, and always makes you feel at home. Mimosa also sells and uses the best products on the market. My personal favorite is the Kerastase line. They also sell Shu Uemura, I.D., Aveda, Bumble & Bumble, Epicuren, etc. I've compare prices at other salons and beauty supply stores, and I've noticed that Mimosa doesn't "upcharge" their products as other salons/stores do (this is especially true for Kerastase which I have seen be notoriously marked way up at other places!). So, if it ever came down to starving or getting highlights at Mimosa,... well, let's face it, I would probably choose life,... but I would definitely have to think about it! read more

My first time here today. Had a great Brazilian/upper leg with Gina. The place is cute and Gina was lovely. She used two different kinds of wax on me--pink and white. Both looked like liquidy frosting. The pink was used on my legs & the white on my 'JJ area. Gina explained that these waxes have a powder base, so (although they grab the hair), they're not as sticky & rough on the skin as honey-based waxes. There might be something to it, because I didn't have any post-wax "trauma" to my girly parts. And the price was a competitive $80. Hello, Mimosa. I'll be back. read more

Scheduled a brow and lip wax and a manicure with nail art. The waxing was very quick and professional. I enjoyed a mimosa in between services but the best part of my visit by far was my manicure by Liz! She has great attention to detail and provided adorable nail art for my upcoming Disney trip. By far the best manicure I've received in the South Bay! read more

Mimosa - Gel manicure with nail art by Liz! - Hair Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Excellent! The original waxing place I had planned to go to was booked so I decided to give Mimosa a try. To be honest I had walked past it several times but questioned going inside because it seemed "bougie." Luckily I gave them a call and they were able to squeeze me in for later in the evening for a full Brazillian. When I arrived, everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming which put me at ease. My waxer was Gina and she was absolutely great! The actual waxing was painless and it honestly felt like we were having a regular conversation. She gave me some tips for aftercare that didn't require purchasing anything at the salon. Normally I feel like waxers are trying to push their product on you as opposed to recommending something that might actually go well with your skin/needs. Definitely didn't get that sense from her. Overall, EXCELLENT experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I've had a blow-out here before, and I've walked out with what looked like a terrible lions mane. I also had a gel manicure here, and it chipped the next day. I have no plans to return. read more

Today was my first time at Mimosa and I was very impressed. I just got a hair cut from Alicia. She was kind and also attentive. I didnt feel like she was ignoring my concerns or requests. The salon is super clean and everyone was nice. Only downside was parking. I definitely recommend coming here! read more

If you're looking for a great place to get waxed in Hermosa Beach, Mimosa is it! They're reasonable in price and super fast. Brittany is the best, she's really great to talk to and she keeps your mind off of the waxing. I highly recommend Mimosa and Brittany! They except credit cards for payment on services, but you have to tip in cash, just make sure you have it :) read more

Hello Mimosa You gave me pretty nails I will be back soon A haiku for Mimosa because I'm obviously feeling weird. My best friend and I went to Mimosa for Shellac manicures because she scored an amazing Groupon deal. The salon is small, but they get super busy. The entire time we were there (almost three hours) they were non-stop styling/cutting/waxing. Staff is super friendly, services are affordable and the only thing I'd have to say that was kind of a damper was the fact that they only have one manicurist. So while my bf was getting her manicure I sat and waited - I didn't mind at all, but it might be wise for them to have two on staff for busier times. Definitely will have to go back and get shellac'ed again. I'm totally hooked. read more

I love this place! Great atmosphere & everyone is so friendly. Its really my one stop shop. I go there for a haircut, pedicure, and a facial. Phoebe is my stylist & she's really good & she's really friendly. I've been seeing her for about a year now and I have always been happy with a cut from her. There was even a time when I was getting a pedicure and she was there & trimmed my hair for free! The pedicures are great! What I love is there are a lot of different scents for them. It makes it fun. I've had chocolate, citrus, rose, lavender, and tropical. I liked the rose the best, cause they put petals in the tub. I've had different pedicursts but my favorite is Liz. She just is so friendly. Heck, she was the one who told me about the sale at Nordstrom last month, lol! For my facials, I see Kindy. She's really good, very down to earth & she just seems to be so genuine when she does your facial. She always makes sure you are okay. I've been happy with my facials there. And lastly what I like is that they carry Bare Minerals, so I dont have to go all the way to Manhattan Beach to get them. Like it said, its my one stop shop. Just had to take off one star because they dont accept charge tips, so bring some extra cash on you! read more

This salon was such a great experience. My first time there and loved my hairstylist Saudi! She's amazing and super friendly. Love my hair and cannot get over it. Thank you so much! Will definitely be back for a touch up! read more

I found Brittany on Yelp for my brazilian wax. I've never gotten one before, although I have gotten a bikini wax about 10 years ago. I was very nervous and she put me right at ease. She didn't make me feel embarrassed or awkward at all. She was very quick and made the experience as painless as possible. Let's face it, if you're not used to getting it all waxed off, it will hurt some. I definitely would recommend her and will go back to her again. Thank you yelpers for your advice. read more

I've been coming here about once a month to get my nails done for awhile now, and it is by far my favorite place in the area. Reasonable prices and the service is always excellent. Everyone there is super friendly. I've had manicures and pedicures from both Fausta & Liz and they both do a great job. Unlike most places that just have the limited selection of shellac colors, they'll also do glitter shellac! It doesn't last as long, but it looks so cool. read more

Love how great my nails look after my first time at Mimosa. Liz (the nail tech with green hair) did an wonderful job. She took her time and paid attention to detail. My cuticles always get neglected by past nail techs...Liz was on it! I really appreciated her good attitude and workmanship. It made a huge difference in my experience. The warm oil arm massage and hot towel clean up didn't hurt either! I ended up buying a package of 4 nail sessions for a discounted price, because I WILL be back! read more

First time trying out mimosa salon and definitely not last! Enjoyed every second of my experience here. Ask for Eric! He really understood what I was looking for and made me feel right at home. First hair cut since the pandemic started and I am honestly glad I picked mimosa read more

Fine, so I got into the habit of cutting my own hair like I was some kind of fugitive. It seemed no matter where I went, I just couldn't get the style I wanted that would still look good after it grew out a bit. I first tried Mimosa on a groupon (bonafide addict) and got Jessica as my stylist. I was a bit like, hmmm, is okay at first but now that my hair's grown out, I really see why the cut is worth it. So I went back. Like a real human being to get Jessica to do it again. I brought in a photo of the style I wanted and she asked me very pointed questions to make sure we landed where we wanted to. I was also fussing about hair shedding and Jessica recommended really good hair products she used herself, without a sales pitch. I haven't tried the other stylists but I'm glad I got her because she's a real girl.. like she doesn't look like a robot doing my hair and I never come away thinking, there is no way my hair will look this good when I have to do it. Plus she loves Tabitha's Salon Make Over which I was a touch addicted to over the summer. Nice to know she takes her business seriously, I mean, my head is in her hands people! I know Hermosa parking is a beatch and a half but if you let the front desk know they're armed with quarters and can put them in for you if you can't run out. read more

Julie is amazing! She made the waxing experience super comfortable. She was so gentle. I am really happy with her thoroughness and can't wait to come back. The salon is clean and provide mimosas to enjoy while you're getting beautified. read more
