Mimi Beauty Supply

OK, OK… I have tried to frequent this place for almost 15 years. But, the owner is probably one of the nastiest, meanest, rudest store owners I ‘ve EVER met in my life!!! She spoke to a man in her native tongue the entire time I was there this time… I asked her a question and she never even spoke, she pointed in the direction of the item and never broke stride in her conversation with this guy. She has never greeted me and this is the last time I will ever go to this place again…

Wish I could give them no stars. Dont like coming here anyway because its so dark and gross. Unfortunately this is everyone’s go to place in Oside for beauty supplies, but it royally sucks! Say they open at 10am but a line of people including my sister and myself sat outside for over 20 minutes and watched them loose so much business because they were not open on time. DON’T ADVERTISE THAT YOU ARE OPEN AT TEN AM IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PRACTICE THAT! Waste of time and energy this place is!
Drove away and called at 10:46am and when the lady answered and I asked what time they opened she had the nerve to say 10am! Andddd to top it all off, the lady was actually rude to me when I explained to her that I had been waiting outside her store for a half hour. UNBELIEVABLE!!! SCREW THIS PLACE!

Poor customer service and for me that’s a BIG turn-​off. The cashier was rude. I felt like she not only hated life but hated me being there too. No matter how cheap, I will NOT spend another penny at this store.

Absolute pig sty

This place is really messy it looks as if there is no organization. I can hardly find anything I need there. I went in to find some natural products for my hair and picked up two bottles that I was interested in but ultimately put them on a shelf and proceeded to walk to the door. Before I got to the door I was met by two employees that harassed me about where the bottles were because they couldn’t find them. Implying that I may have stolen them. I told them I just put them on a shelf because I decided not to get them. They said that they looked an couldn’t find where I put them. I honestly don’t remember what isle I put them at because it’s such a mess there all the isle look the same nothing is numbered or organized. They tried to get me to go back to the isle and find the product and put it away back in its right spot. I told them I would not do that and that I did not steal anything if that’s what they were implying. I showed them the inside of my bag and then walked out the door. Horrible customer service. They need to keep there store clean it’s not the customers job to return items to there place and keep things organized.

I bought a Halloween wig here before and it was the wrong color and they let me exchange it. I went in recently looking for extensions and was very happy with my purchase. I’m probably going back soon and bringing a friend. It’s kind of chaotic in there and there are boxes everywhere but don’t let that put you off. There is a huge selection and worth the trip if you need wigs and other hair accessories.

Most likely will not step foot into this beauty shop again.
I used to shop here when it was just across the street at a smaller location, I recall there being staff there to help and more organization.
They have since moved across the street to a huge building, which is in a semi-​vacant shopping center (the Thai restaurant is amazing in there). They moved into this located several years ago, yet there are still unpacked boxes everywhere and DUST on the products, the products which are very overpriced. I’m guessing the gal that is hidden behind the counter, is the owner, is helpful — when you can find her.
This place is dark, dusty and overpriced.
As much as I enjoy supporting a local business, you are better off finding your beauty products at Sally’s Beauty Supply 10 minutes down the road.

I really like this shop. I’ve bought wigs from other stores in oceanside and escondio and this one is by far better. Lots of selection and the owner’s daughter (im assuming) is very helpful! I have a baby that tries to get into everything and she was very polite and attentive. I’m very indecisive and she was patient with me which I appreciate. She was knowledgable about the products and knew what I needed after I explained the issues I was having with my other wigs. The prices are very good as well. Definetly recommend this store.

I don’t understand why this place is such a mess. The hair extensions are ridiculously expensive. I come from LA where their is a hair shop pratically on every corner and none of them look like this one. The prices at Mimi’s is too much. Their markup is waaayyy more than what I am used to. I drive back to LA to get my hair products. I only go to Mimi’s as a LAST resort. The products look and feel old. Not good at all.

Yes, place is a disgusting mess and service is the worst… But you will get a good deal. I got 18″ clip in extensions that were someone my color and I just colored them to match my hair. Hair quality was good and clips are already on and I paid $ 88. I’d say ghetto places are sometimes worth the trouble…

Great selection of wigs and extension hair. Many old, outdated products though– but I don’t buy that stuff. Helpful, patient people working there. I have had no problems. Their products are a little more expensive (wigs) than others but they do have the largest selection.

Okay, first of all, this place is incredibly dirty and unorganized. And it smells like incense and a head shop. Gross. Then, on top of that they have a $ 20 minimum for credit or debit cards, really? $ 20? I could see maybe $ 5… But $ 20 is a bit much for a minimum, especially considering most things in here are under $ 5. Oh, and the older lady who works at the counter is super grumpy and not very friendly. So if you need something quick, don’t care about searching through a huge bin for it, and don’t mind off brands that look fairly old… then go for it. However, I feel that this place is only a good spot to go if you can’t seem to find what you are looking for anywhere else, cause you might as well check just in case.
Also, this place seems more like they have old hair products and wigs than anything else.

Odd store. When it comes to the beauty products they sell it reminds me of items you would find at swap meet or damaged items from the 99 cent store. But… if you were a person looking for a wig or extensions this seems like a great place to look. Not sure if the prices for wigs or extensions is a good deal or not because I have never purchased any before.

BUYER BEWARE — Could not understand why Mimi’s new coloring products clumped and were hard to remove from client after many shampoos. I’ve experienced this over and over with her colors. After calling Wella, they said that happens when a product is very old. That made sense since Mimi’s sells ALL her coloring products without the box so you have no idea of expiration dates. Bottle tops have dust and are discolored. She takes open products back and resells them. Have reported her to Clairol and Wella.
