Accent On Skin

I have been going to Mimi for about a year now, and aside from the fact that I have really grown to love her personally, the fact of the matter is that she does incredible work on my face. I do facials, peels, and microdermabrasions with Mimi, and I always leave it up to her to customize my facial based on what’s going on with my skin at the time, because I know she will do what’s best for me. There is just no comparison of going into a chain spa with a set menu of facials, vs. going to someone with tons of products and techniques in their arsenal who will customize a facial to fit your needs every time you see them. She has a tremendous amount of experience and is really gifted at what she does. Extractions are done expertly, and I am always blown away at how smooth and glowing my face looks after I see Mimi. To top it off, she is the sweetest person ever, and really takes her time with you giving you personal attention. I trust her to do whatever she wants to my face and she has never let me down. As long as I am living in Southern California, I will be going to Mimi for facials… she is truly the best!!!
As someone else mentioned, the name of the salon has changed from Accent on Skin to MKO Nails, but the fabulous Mimi still has her beautiful facial room in the back. Go see her, you will be so happy you did.

Mimi Lu is STILL in the same location giving exceptional service and quality ! The new location is called MKO Nails so don’t be afraid to walk in and ask for Mimi or call (949) 855‑4485 to make an appointment with her. She’s back in action everyone!

I have been going to Mimi for over a decade! I refuse to let anyone else wax me let alone touch my eyebrows. She is so nice and friendly. The small salon setting is so nice and she really makes it personal and comfortable. The salon has been renovated recently with new owners, but Mimi is still there and better then ever.

This is so different than going to a large spa or a chain spa that hire large numbers of estheticians with little or no experience. I can go to one of them and hear that every complaint I have about my skin is hormonal.
Mimi has the experience and the confidence to LISTEN to me describe what I was seeing and feeling on my face. She then discusses in detail the skin care régime that I was using. She then looked carefully at my skin (not the clock) and could see what I was doing and not doing to as I washed my face.
I got a great facial that addressed my issues, and recommendations for some changes in the products I use. I actually feel better taking her recommendations because she isn’t selling the products. That is right; there is no selling because she doesn’t have the products. Huuummmm! Maybe that means this is really is the best product for my skin.
This is not about the «SPA» experience but getting the facial that is going to improve the look and condition of your skin at a reasonable price

Just have to say that Mimi is the best… I have been using facials to clear my skin ever since I was 12 year old. My mom strongly believed in using natural means to clear acne and had my brother going to an aestheticians starting with one of the best in laguna beach. Unfortunately, she retired and for years I could not find anyone that came close. My parents live in Mission Viejo and I thought I would try MiMi out. I love going to fancy spas to get facials but those are really for the spa experience and not to clear my skin. Accent on Skin has nice rooms and a relaxing atmosphere so I figured why not try it. Plus, her cost is much less than most places. Needless to say, I have moved to NY, Los Angeles and now Newport Beach and still make the drive to see her. She is the best… SO much so, that I had my 70 year old dad go to take care of horribly large pores which his dermatologist cut to clean out. He was scared Mimi would do the same to clean his pores and so embarrassed to go but now he goes every few months on his own. We love her and she is so sweet too!
Thanks Mimi

Mimi is wonderful! Her facials are extremely thorough and she takes the time to get to know you and your routine and she even recommends the best products for your budget (like Neutrogena at Target). My skin was glowing after and there were no bruises or red marks after like at some other places I’ve gone too (Burke Williams). Definitely coming back here.

Mimi is just amazing. Truly cares about what she does & she is the the best at it. I’ve been going to her for over 10 years now.

Mimi, the owner of Accent on Skin is sweet, fantastic at what she does and caring! She has a beautiful shop offering all kinds of skin care and treatments to spoil yourself!
This is the first and only place I took my young teens when they needed their first eyebrow waxing… she’s gentle and they still go there after all these years!
Her daughter Christine is awesome at cutting hair and does both my teens also!

Linda Barrett is the best licensed massage therapist.
I have been seeing her for over 15 years. She is very knowledgeable and educated on anatomy as well as all different types of massage techniques.
She even does hot stone massage therapy. I highly recommend her because she is fantastic

Linda Barrett is the best at deep tissue massage. I leave her feeling awesome each and every time. I would recommend bi-​weekly massages for the most effective health benefits.

Mimi is amazing! She is so friendly and is really great at her job. She really cares about her customers and never tries to sell her ideas, instead she gives you great tips on how to better improve your skin. I live in Los Angeles and still drive back to orange county because she is so great! I highly recommend her!

I have just had a wonderful facial again with Mimi, the owner of Accent on Skin in Mission Viejo. She does a professional job and uses great products on my skin which is sensitive. Her salon also does hair styles, massages and is very clean and professional. Mimi is like a friend and cares about her customers and we always have a good time talking and I get plenty of advice when I go there so I always look forward to seeing her. For $ 60 and a discount for the first visit, you can’t go wrong. She spends over an hour with you and your face will be glowing and soft when you are done.

Mimi cleaned my face really well with a facial. My blackheads are gone and face is glowing! She’s a really sweet lady but, my, does she talk a lot (esp. about herself)! If you’re the type that want to relax and be pampered during your facial, she’s not for you. Otherwise, she’s very professional at assessing your skin’s needs and is good with making your skin vibrant the day after your treatment.
My experience here did not stand out too much among other facials I have gotten before.

I love Mimi, went to her for a facial. She is very warm and caring and does a wonderful job at telling you what your skin needs. I will definitely be going to her again and on a regular basis. I absolutely loved her.

I recently had a massage by Linda Barrett, probably the most professional, therapeutic massage I have ever experienced. She was extremely qualified, pleasant, informative, and I have now decided to treat myself to monthly massages to feel as well as I did the day I left that location at Accent On Skin.
After seeing a physician for several months with no results, I found more results for a leg pain issue with one massage and immediately felt the healing results of a well trained professional.
I highly recommend Linda Barrett to anyone seeking to enjoy a wonderful experience. I will refer her to all my friends as the benefits of a good massage for such a reasonable cost were immeasurble!

You will LOVE Mimi!!! She is so awesome… one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. She is so great with facials + she is really honest. She won’t try to get you to buy products from her salon that you don’t need, instead she might tell you like she did me to go buy an aloe vera plant for $ 3.50 at Home Depot, b/​c that is what works to help heal the skin. She is very caring and she knows what she is talking about. You can tell she loves what she does, and she likes helping people + making you feel good. If you want to clear out those pores, have an acne problem or just need to be pampered, go see Mimi! You get a really affordable facial from her, with a lot for your buck. If you ask her she even has this light therapy for acne that she can use, no one else I had ever been to had this before. Best facial I’ve ever had for sure and Mimi always makes me smile =D

Mimi Lu is the BEST at doing eyebrows! I have been having her do my waxing for a long time now. I always leave there very happy because my eyebrows look great and it didn’t cost a fortune. Mimi’s prices are very reasonable.
I moved to Los Angeles recently to go to college and I still come home to get my eyebrows done or for facials.
A few years ago, my grandmother wanted a esthetician recommendation and I told her to visit Mimi. She LOVES Mimi and visits her regularly now too!

I have been a client of Mimi’s (the owner of Accent on Skin) since before she owned this salon. She is professional and talented and no nonsense. Great prices, great product… what more can I say, do yourself a favor and go see Mimi for a facial!

Having really bad oily acne prone skin, I came across the biggest zit I had ever had in my entire life, no joke. Unfortunately, it was the same week I had a birthday party to attend. After trying all the at home remedies and masks I could for an entire week, I was left with no other option but to look for a GOOD quality, DECENTLY PRICED acne facial (with extractions of course, to get rid of the darn thing asap!).
Luckily, I was able to find Accent on Skin and spoke to Mimi. Mimi does the facials and waxes but is also the owner of accent on skin. She is one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met! I spoke to her on the phone and briefly let her know my situation. I told her, «I know it’s last minute to make an appointment for an acne facial tomorrow but I have 24 hours to get rid of this huge zit because I have a party to go to. Do you think you can help me?» She totally sympathized with me and said that she could definitely take care of me. She also mentioned that before giving me a facial, she would analyze my skin to make sure an acne facial was what I needed, because she didn’t want to give me a facial that was too harsh for my skin or unnecessary for my skins needs… OKAY, so that was when I knew I found the right person! First off, an acne facial is more expensive than a typical facial, so to know she thought about what MY SKIN needed, more than she thought about persuading me into a more expensive facial, made me realize how genuine and truly honest she was.
After meeting her, she was just as friendly and helpful as she was on the phone. She took a look at my skin, helped me decide what I needed and most importantly, got rid of that zit! Very patient and gentle, the extractions were nearly painless. The following day, with a little concealer, it almost looked like there was never a zit there to begin with. She took such good care of me and was very knowledgeable on what she was doing and informed me of the best products for my skin. She charges $ 65 regularly but $ 55 for new customers… which is way affordable for a college student like myself. I HIGHLY recommend her and am happy to say I am now one of her regular customers. What truly wins you over at this place is the genuine kindness and care Mimi has for her customers. Look at her ratings, they speak for itself. Once you meet her, you’ll never what to go elsewhere.

I just went to Accent on Skin last week and had a fantastic experience. I paid $ 55 for an upper leg and bikini wax which I thought was very affordable/​reasonable, especially since Mimi is so obviously talented and such a professional. You can tell that she has experience and is highly skilledl as she was able to wax without it really hurting. I would definitely go back to her. I am going to try out a facial too! I just moved from Boston and feel lucky that I have found Mimi.
