Mimosa Nail and Spa

Enjoyed the friendly staff at Mimosa; made an appointment for right when it opened on a Saturday and got excellent service. Started to get busy as I was wrapping up but my technician checked in to make sure everything was okay while my nails dried.
While taking my toe separator out so I could leave I dinged one of my nails and she came over and fixed it for me (obviously not enough drying time).
I’ve been here for waxing as well and always get good service. Make an appointment if you want to ensure a spot but they do take walk-​ins too. Lots of color choices!

Arguably the worst polish job I’ve had yet. I left a big tip as they took the first place.

Worst experience I have ever encountered at a nail salon. I went there because my grandmother recommend it to me, she said the ladies were very nice and attentive. Too bad I forgot that my grandmother is very optimistic so her opinion was not very valid… first when I came in for a manicure I was greeted with a very heavy feeling that I wasn’t welcome or wanted. During my manicure the lady avoided polite nail salon conversation. She was very rough with my hands and sped through it. She cut me good on my ring finger which stung really bad everytime she put product on my hands. Then she gives me a pissy adittude when I ask her to repeat herself because she has a very heavy accent. If that wasn’t bad enough the way my nails turned out was just disgraceful. Un-​even file job, hang nails left over, and super messy paint job. So messy in fact that I actually went straight to Safeway next door to get nail polish remover so I could do my own damn nails when I got home. I’m really disappointed. -.-

Love coming here for pedicures! The nail techs take their time and pay lots of detail to trimming/​buffing/​massaging.

Had to get gas at the Safeway and decided to get a pedicure since I was in desperate need of one. Walked right in and got seated, but service was horrible. Very rough on the feet, one of my cuticles stung because they must have cut it too deep into the skin. Never felt that in my years of getting a pedicure. Then after asking for a design on my toes I wasn’t really happy with a part of the design and just asked if they could make the flower all one color instead of these polka dots they were putting on it. Instead of just fixing it, she just heard I didn’t like it and hastily took off he design, quickly applied another coat of nail polish on my big toes and called it a day! You know, as a mom who wanted to treat myself out this morning to a pedicure it really sucks when you get such bad customer service. When you barely have time to take care of yourself and you finally decide to and this is what you get… I needed to write a review. I don’t often say this as a small business owner myself, but take your money elsewhere.

I’ve been here at least 4 or 5 times… each time thinking that it won’t be as bad as the last. Well, it always is… who’s the idiot now? They totally wreck my cuticles, the nails aren’t a consistent shape or length, and my 8-​year old niece can do a better job applying nail polish — it’s uneven and SO thick it literally takes 2 hours to dry. May I be struck down if I ever step inside these doors again.

This place is conveniently located in a small, neat plaza by Safeway off of 3^rd in Renton with free parking. It’s called Mimosa Nail and Spa, but they don’t offer mimosas or anything like that, bummer! That would’ve been cool. I’ve been here a couple times and have never been disappointed! Make an appointment if you can because they do get a lot of walk-​ins. Most recently my sister and I made an appointment, I got a French tip shellac manicure and she got a regular manicure and pedicure. They did a great job and we were done in an hour. Prices are very affordable, I got my French tip shellac manicure for $ 25 and she got her regular manicure and pedicure for $ 29.

I’ve been here a few times but this time I brought my friend because they’ve always done a great job on my nails. Well, my friends manicure turned out great but mines didn’t.
We were greeted right away and waited for about fifteen minutes. A technician sat us down and started on my friends manicure first. Another tech then started on mines five minutes afterwards. She did everything the way I liked except for the painting part.
I brought my own nail polish that I’ve used at home before and I told her that. (I used Loreal’s polish and it usually paints on pretty). She painted two coats but it wasn’t enough. I didn’t want to complain although I should have, so I left disappointed.
I don’t know if I want to go back. My mom had a bad experience on Mother’s Day last year so I’m thinking I will just keep searching for my «go-​to» nail salon.

I had some time before a meeting so I got a Mani/​Pedi at this first place I found… Mimosa Nail & Spa — I was not happy with any of the services — I warn you to not only listen to this review but those of the others already posted

you know… i went here, despite reading the previous review… hoping that maybe, just maybe, things would be different.
sigh.
my sister and i walked in around 5:20. after EVERYONE stared at us, a lady popped her head out of the «spa» cubicles and greeted us. i asked if we could do two pedicures, and she said «yes, blah blah blah.» i wasn’t sure what the blah blah blah was so i asked her to repeat. duh. what else would it be: pick your color.
we picked out our colors and went to go sit down when we were steered away gently to use the «waiting area» instead. («honey they still cleaning, you sit there.» alright.)
after about 5 minutes, we were ready to get pedicured. my sister felt the water was too hot, so they added cooler water for her. fast forward throgh all the tickely foot scrubbing and conversations.
oh wait. conversations. let me expand on this. i don’t mind the ladies talking… but do not STOP the pedicure just so you can continue on your conversation with each other. can’t tell you how many times my sister and i looked at each other with the «wtf» face in full disbelief of how many times they would just neglect what it is they do… well… besides talking.
finally, they got past it and were able to finish the pedicures. we sat at the «nail drying» stations drying our feet until about 6:20. i feel that i should add that they didn’t rush it (duh) and they accomodated a guest that was looking for a facial wax 15 minutes after the salon closed.
the décor looks like someone tried… but then ran out of supplies and money. my massage chair felt and sounded like it was about to short out. looks a lot better from the outside.
i won’t be back unless there’s some apocalyptic emergency where i need nice feet and the transportation system of south seattle has been depleted.

Always unprofessional. You walk in and they all stare at you for a few minutes, then someone will yell from across the room «what do you want?» A little on the dirty side. Their manicurists are really rough and slow and they aren’t very friendly. I was trying to convince myself that they were worth going to because they were right on the way home from work but the last time was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I walk in, do the usual awkward waiting around until someone screamed at me and then I sat in the waiting room for over twenty minutes. Someone else walked in, sat down for all of two minutes and then they called her over. When asking how come she got in first, they just told me sorry and to keep waiting. I was beyond annoyed, not only at what had just happened but also at their nonchalance. I asked how much longer, they spoke amongst themselves for a moment and no one ever answered me. I got up and left and will NEVER go back.
For anyone in the Renton area I would recommend Hosanna nails on 900 next to Blockbuster. Julie is sweet, fast and does an amazing job. The salon in clean and bright and they’re equipment is new.
This place is not worth going to, despite the convenient location.

I have almost always been very satisfied with Spa Mimosa. I don’t get to visit them as much as I would like, but every time I go back they always remember my name.
I mainly visit when it is time for a pedicure and have been happy with the quality, rarely a chip, lasts for at least a good month. Their brow service is great too — not one complaint.
There is one nail technician that I would stay away from — not very gentle.

I’m not a fan of a 3 week waiting list to get my brows shaped and when it’s time, it’s time, AND LADIES YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Ask for Tammy or Mi-​because they just get the job done right.
I would’ve given Mimosa a 5, but unfortunately they get busy too and a 30 minute wait sometimes feels like 3 weeks.
