MIMI NAILS

"I asked for gel nails and they looked great fresh, but only a couple days in and they are crumbling to pieces. The technician used a very small amount of gel powder over acrylic tip, I usually see more powder. The lamp really hurt too which I later read was an effect of curing too quickly, like with not enough powder. I'm so sad that my $65 gel set is gone in less than a week, started crumbling a few days in. I'm guessing this was a confusion about how to do the service. The technician was very friendly and her work on the colored tips looked amazing."

"I absolutely love mimi’s, I get their gel manicure and regular pedicure deal all the time! My service is always well done and so affordable, which I appreciate being a college student. I highly recommend if you’re in the Lake Zurich area(:"

"Yeah so nice location I really wanted to like it but DO NOT get acrylic here! The technician that did my nails painted my nail then just dipped it in acrylic powder afterwards. This cause my nails to be weak and not have the correct shape at all (bumpy and misshaped) In less than a week i have had five nails chip off. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH MY NAILS. Why did i waste an hour and a half of my life to have half my nails break off in a week. Now I have to go back before work miss out on time with my child. God forbid i try to pamper myself."

"I read good reviews about Mimi nail salon so chose to visit for a much needed pedicure. I am so glad I did! Best experience I ever had at any nail salon. They are very clean, which is always a concern for me, and Claire was so patient, kind, and gentle. I presented her with a challenge and she did a wonderful job. I dont remember the name of the woman who did my no-chip polish but she was very good also. They are thorough, did not rush even though they were busy, & are perfectionists. The hot towels, scrub, oil based massage on legs and feet, & more hot towels felt amazing. I was pampered. I will be a regular customer now."

"I was debating whether to write a review or not about my experience here but I knew that I had to warn others about receiving acrylics here. When I went here, I can agree that they were nice and their painting job wasn't bad and was pretty ok. But the second time I went ( since I had an pretty nice experience the first time ), I decided to get artificial nails. The lady did a very weird method of applying the fake nail it's insane! She just dipped my wet nail that had glue on it into some fine powder and tapped it off. I had never received this type of method ever (which is pretty extraordinary because I had fake nails done at three other salons before). The result was VERY BUMPY AND UNEVEN NAILS afterwards which she even just put ONE COAT of nail polish which I knew required at least 2 or 3 since I choose a very light color. I was very upset and the lady had the nerve to ask for tips. NEVER AGAIN! DO NOT GET ARTIFICIAL NAILS HERE...."
