Mimosa Nails and Spa

"We made an appointment a month in advance which was accepted, to get there the day of and they weren't even open. After calling multiple times, they finally got back to us. All they said was they forgot and then tried to turn it on us for never confirming (which was done). They then said they were on their way, and we called 20 minutes later to find out they actually hadn't left, and that they live in Vancouver and wouldn't come unless we promised to be there as to "not waste" their time. What a joke. Then they said they could only get two people for the three of us on short notice. What a waste of time, would never recommend them."

"They got my wedding nails exactly how I wanted them! They were willing to stay late to get us in. Very sweet people!"

"My friend called and made an appointment on Sunday at 1:30, they said they could even squeeze us in at 1:15 if we could be there earlier - we could not. The appointment was for two manicures and one pedicure, three people with one service each. We arrived and they had trouble knowing what services we were getting and were confused. We finally got that sorted out and watched the four other people in the salon be helped by the two ladies working. We were nice and patient, and since I was the one getting the pedicure I was able to get my feet in warm water and get the massage on the chair going before we were actually helped. I inquired about a menu after we finally started to receive some service, about 30 minutes into it. She showed me the menu and told me the prices weren't right and that I would be paying $50 for a hot stone pedicure. Well, as you can see by my pictures, it's listed online at $40 and in store at $45. That is a major red flag to me. My pedicure started with one of the ladies who was in the shop. The next red flag was the use of Dawn dish soap on my feet. What the heck? Then the cuticle cutting was extremely painful and deep, I've never had that experience in all my years of getting a pedicure. Under the nail was not cleaned and the bottoms of my feet were scrubbed only with the regular file/brush. Then a mask was applied to my legs and a warm towel was put on. A younger girl walked in the shop and I found out very quickly that she would be finishing my pedicure. She had the stinkiest stink face I've ever seen in my life. She did not want to be there and it was more than evident. The original lady told me that it was her daughter and she made her come in to come help. It was written all over her face that she wanted nothing to do with that shop or me. She then gave me my paraffin wax and got the hot stones ready for the worst massage I've ever received while getting a pedicure. The massages is my absolute favorite part and that's why I usually get a better pedicure than the basic, so I can have a better massage. The temperature was off on the stones and they were really hot at first, and she was upset when I told her they were too hot. It was just a nightmare to be honest. We wound up being in there a total of two and a half hours again for two manicures and one pedicure. They did keep the champagne flowing for my friends which was nice, but my 8 oz water went very quickly and I was never offered a refill. Speaking of champagne, the lady who was working couldn't open it so she asked me to. The very last thing that was the nail in the coffin... a very nice black lady came in who had called and she was met with a very obvious attitude from the staff. She made eye contact with me and it was very noticeable that they didn't really want her in the store. She and I were able to exchange brief words and she went to another shop down the street. All I can say is, save your money and go elsewhere. And now I'm out $50 plus a 10% tip which was more than generous."

"UPDATE: I went back to Mimosa for the first time since I had my son and I just so blown away at the quality. I’ve been going to another nail shop in my neighborhood but the quality has been bad and the technique is mediocre. Today I seen Peter and he was amazing! The second picture is from today. He took such good care of my nails & handled my few request with excellence!! Previous review: I had been trying to find a decent nail salon for over a year and I finally stumbled on this place one weekend because they were open late. The quality of my shellac by my nail technician was amazing! Best I’ve ever had and even after I leave my nails are still in great condition. When I was pregnant they took such good care of me and was sensitive to my big belly. They also don’t have a lot of strict rules like other places I.e. cash only, bring your own nail file. The ladies are so sweet and the mimosas are good. I love this place and am a loyal customer."
