Mimi’s Beauty Salons

The place is good with reasonable charges. Nice haircut too. mimi makes you comfortable. I would recommend it.

In short: A nice, affordable salon in a much-​needed location!
Should you try it? Yes
Ambience: It’s a pretty typical hair salon. There weren’t many people there when I arrived (mid afternoon on a weekday). So it was pretty quiet. I don’t think it’s dirty in there — just not super high-​end or overly polished. It was a pretty relaxed atmosphere.
Service: The woman who worked with me was very nice and tried to cut my hair exactly how I wanted it.
Location: The location is excellent and very much needed in this region of the valley. It’s in a small strip mall, with parking in the back. I haven’t had a problem finding parking. Although there was a homeless man begging for money when I was leaving, that’s pretty common everywhere in the valley nowadays unfortunately.
3 Key Tips:
1) If you need a haircut, they will get it done affordably and skillfully.
2) Go on a weekday afternoon — not too busy!
3) They prefer to be paid in cash (who doesn’t?) But if you bring cash, they appreciate it.

RULE #1: Always make an appointment.
I’ve only been here twice but both times it’s been crazy busy. She has all the chairs in the waiting area filled and some people even standing outside. Without an appointment, I waited about 40 – 45 minutes for an eyebrow wax. The girl next to me who was in for a haircut waited about 30 minutes even though she DID have an appointment. So prepare to wait.
It’s not the cleanest place here either. I think the waxing room was the worst. Wax and hair on the ground and I’m pretty sure the bed paper wasn’t being switched.
But they definitely do take their time with you to make sure everything is done right. The haircut I got here the first time was great too. They’re pretty nice — accepted my credit card even though the min payment is supposed to be $ 20 and mine was $ 15.
But is it all worth the wait? Ehhhh.

I got a very great layer cut done here by a person called MY. She was very sweet and gave me greaaaat suggestions. Being a person who seldom cuts her hair, i was very nervous about it and didnt know what would suit me but the end result was great and i absolutely love it! She made me feel very comfortable and also kept talking with me and engaged me the whole time. I am definitely coming back if i want a haircut ever again! :)

Greaattt job done by Mimi, i walked in at 10:30 am with absolutely no idea as to what i wanted to do! My only brief was i want change! And voila! I got red highlights done and looks great, i am in love with my hair. Great value for money :) Thanks guys :) good job!

Very good hair salon for men.
I have seen a haircut of a 5 year old Indian girl, she was looking so pretty.

I come here regularly to get my hair cut — why only 3 stars then? The cut is worth every cent of the price, no more, no less. Mimi does care about her clients and does a very nice basic cut. However don’t expect anything cutting edge.

I got my haircut from mimi and it was damn good. she did an excellent job on my hair cutting into layers. one less star is because she blow dried my hair several times to get that finished look which ends up getting me a headache. But for the cut and the hardwork she had put in to satisfy the customer was amazing. Definitely i am going back.

I just got my haircut and highlights done at mimi’s today… amazing work by Mimi. … for a quick makeover this is a place … thanks mimi for the new look … I love it …

Waxing room floor is waaay too sticky and the lady didn’t remove all the wax off my legs when she finished.
Pedicure & Manicure do not include a massage, rushing through everything.
But can’t bet the low prices.

I love Mimi and her salon. She took me on a same day appointment and gave me a great haircut, same as what I wanted.
The whole staff is really friendly although I agree the salon can get a makeover.
It would be nice to have a clean and modern looking salon when you walk in. But apart from that it’s a great and moderately priced salon for everything you need.

My mom has been going to this hair salon for years: both for her haircuts and her monthly pedicures. I used to go here for my hair a few years back, but stopped when I met Samantha and Amanda at the AFSP (Academy for Salon Professionals) and since both stylists have since either left the area/​or are not established in a salon, I decided to return for a cut.
To be honest, I’m a little conflicted writing this review. While I do think I received a great haircut, it was not what I had intended. My intended goal was to cut off the dead, split ends since I recently had my hair colored. I brought along a reference photo for the stylist, a new male assistant called ‘QB?’. He agreed with the plan but as the cut went on, it became apparent I was getting a lot more hair cut off than was originally agreed upon. I held my tongue, thinking perhaps it would all be fine at the end (though I do admit I was having a minor panic attack in the chair seeing all my hair falling to the floor).
The end haircut, as mentioned earlier, is stylish and not by any means horrible, just not at all what I was expecting. I feel it necessary to at least disclose this for anyone who enters with a set image in mind.
I also have come here for eyebrow waxing and do highly recommend this service, as they do a great job. Also, as others mentioned, there is a 20 dollar minimum for credit card and the stylists prefer their tips via cash.

I love my haircut. I’m very picky but I keep coming back to Mimi Salon. Highly recommended Ms Kim

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT ever come to this salon for anything to do with nails. I live nearby this salon so I figured I’d give it a try. First of all she (I didn’t catch her name) literally took 3 HOURS or possibly longer doing my nails, I asked for Gel nails. I think she filed my nails too much because my nails feel so sensitive and they’re in a lot of pain. She painted and re painted my nails twice because she «messed up» and tried to blame me by saying I kept moving. She noticed I was very annoyed because she was taking so long so she tried to give me compliments. I ended up paying $ 35 for the most horrible nail job I’ve ever received, but Mimi said she would fix my nails tomorrow since I had to leave and couldn’t stay so she could fix my nails.

This review isn’t about Mimi, but one of her assistant stylists. I came in to get only three inches cut off and layers, I specifically told the woman that I wanted my layers to be long enough that I could tie my hair without the layers spilling out. She interpreted it as making my hair the absolute shortest she could while still making it long enough to tie. Basically, she cut off 7 inches instead of three, HOW DOES SOMEONE MESS UP SO BAD?
It was pretty obvious she didn’t know what she was doing, after the first 40 minutes, she stopped cutting and appeared to be finished. She started taking off the body cover until she realized how crooked she made it, thus continuing to cut it. She should have just stopped from there and let me go to a real hair stylist to get it fixed, but instead she went on for an hour chopping off my locks.
Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else for a haircut if Mimi isn’t available.
I’m surprised this other woman messed up even when I brought in a picture of what I wanted.
2 years of growing out my hair, wasted on this lady.

Mimi has magic to do with my hair. Since I moved to Bay Area, the salon was Recommend by my friend, she become my hair stylist and she always makes my hair stylish and beautiful. Due to she typically is overbooked, the waiting time is about 20~30mins. The hair cut for women with blow dry only $ 25+ tip. The atmosphere of salon can’t beat the fancy salon where I used to have my hair done. However, these salon charges around 70 plus for one hair cut and I got similar quality hair cut here for only $ 30. it is a real deal.

Fairly friendly upon call and walking in for haircuts for my husband and moi. We asked for Mimi and she did my hair cut for long hair trim and slightly layer and side bangs for $ 25. She was super friendly and nice and asked what I wanted clearly and offered recommendations as her professional opinion on what she will do to make a good stylish hairdo and cut for me. Her assistant did a good job for my husband for $ 12 fade buzz cut for men. Cleanliness there was so so. It was the day before New Year’s Eve so we came in with our appointment right on time and finished both of ours in 25 mins. We would recommend you give this place a try for at least hair cuts. They do offer nail services and other hair coloring services that we have not yet tried. Appreciate the friendly and professional service! That’s what brings loyal customers back. :)

Mimi was great! I drove 45 mins to see her as she was highly recommended by a person I met at a bar with beautiful hair.
Mimi greeted me with a smile after she noticed I was there.(took like a 30 seconds) but she was busy with another lady. When she finished, she came right over and introduced herself again and asked for my name and what I wanted for today. I showed her a couple of pictures and asked what she thought about it. She said it would look good but maybe a little different for my bangs would suit me better. Note: I was about to cut off 4 – 5 inches of hair so it was important to be SURE it would look right for my face.
After we agreed, she had me walk over to get my hair washed and wow! It was a true hair wash. Mimi literally took 10 mins to wash my hair. It was to the point that I was wondering if she was having a hard time washing my hair since I do have a whole lot of it.
After that, we got started and she truly took her time. For an hour, she used the razor blade and then some scissor work on my hair, didn’t take too much where my hair would end up looking like a bomb shell hair style –_​-​” and at the end, the haircut came out fantastic! Bangs were great but I think I’ll go for the straight across style next time! Trying the bold look! ;)
Thanks Mimi! Looking forward for the next haircut venture!

My fiancé recommended coming here after she got her hair fixed by a botched last minute cut at supercuts. She went with Mimi and I decided to go to Mimi as well.
She is really good at what she does. My fiancés hair looks great and I’m usually complaining after I leave supercuts near my place. It is worth the drive 5 minutes down from Rivermark Plaza.

This place is the closest salon in proximity to my house. My mom, sister, and I have gone here a number of times over the years. The ladies that work here are friendly and efficient, and they’ll likely remember you it you come often enough.
Unfortunately, this place can get a bit busy, although most people tend to just walk in for appointments. I tend to come by when I know it won’t be crowded: before or after the lunch rush on a weekday.
The prices are good. At $ 15+ for a woman’s hair cut, you won’t be breaking your budget by stopping by in here. Plus, you can splurge on a manicure for $ 10 or a pedicure for $ 20 if you feel you need extra pampering.
I’ve seen some complaints about this place being dirty, and while maybe the women aren’t able to keep the floor sparkly and hair free 100% of the time, I wouldn’t consider this place nasty or run down either.
Mimi’s is an excellent local salon, and I’m glad I don’t have to go too far for my hair styling services.
