I love this spa. The organic commitment, the services and the staff are all fabulous. The polish is high maintenance but considering the alternative it is worth the extra effort. I got a brow wax the last time and the massage that came with it was so relaxing. I usually break out after traditional waxing but following Karina's instructions I had no problems.
I went on a Friday afternoon to get a pedicure. I went here to get a manicure before and I enjoyed it very much so I decided to come back and get a pedicure. The pedicure was fantastic also. I got the Colombiana and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pedicurist wasn't rough and politely asked me to move my feet and etc. unlike some places I have been to. The paint job was wonderful also and as clean as can be. If you are looking for a cheap pedicure though this is not the place. The Colombiana which is a summer pedicure costs $58. The price is well worth the experience though.
Is it possible to enjoy Brazilian wax? Well Tierra Mia makes it possible! Let's start with the reception - it was a blazing hot and humid afternoon, so I was worried that being sweaty would make things difficult. Heat and humidity are no problem when the staff greats you with freshly squeezed limeade sweetened with Colombian cane sugar. Did I mention the lovely bite of dark Colombian chocolate that was offered as an accompaniment? The wax itself was perfection. Not only did Karina take time to discuss all the possibilities (they offer 3 basic "down-there" wax-jobs plus special requests), she did a wonderful and efficient job and sent me off with a cooling antibacterial cream that made practically made my nether parts whistle. Inasmuch as one can actually look forward to a Brazilian, I really can't wait to go back!
The coconut pedicure was so relaxing! It felt like a massage and pedicure in one. Plus the atmosphere there feels like an escape from the city. The owners are customer service oriented and caring individuals. To top it off my nails came out fabulous!!!!
....I had a pedicure/manicure combo and it was so wonderful. The decor is lovely and the receptionist was very friendly. I loved the fact that all the products used on me smelled GOOD vs. gross and chemical like. The products used in my treatments contained all natural lavender, coconut and basil to name a few. I'm currently pregnant with my second child and searched high and low for a good all natural nail salon. Karina (the fabulous manicurist!) used the water-based brand of nail polish Aquarella on me. I've no problems with the polish lasting. After 10 days the pedicure is intact and the nails are chip free (and I wash my hands constantly!). The color has also stayed true and has not turned yellow-ish as another reviewer had reported. I can't wait to go back!

.... I stopped in during a visit to Philly, while 8+ months pregnant. My mani/pedi was perfect, the salon is very cute and clean. Super relaxing. Wish I lived close enough to come here regularly. They do use all organic products so the prices are more expensive than a regular nail salon, which is to be expected.

.... and use of natural ingredients in their treatments, but would give this spa five stars even if they hadn't exfoliated my hands with fresh coconut shavings. A group of us reserved Tierra for part one of a bachelorette party, and the staff could not have been more friendly, attentive to detail and expert at their particular services. On the windowsill we found towels wrapped around manicure and pedicure tools topped with a sheet of paper with our names and times for our treatments. Though we scheduled in advance, the staff had no problem adding or switching services as long as time allowed. In my case, this meant the addition of 20 minutes of reflexology on my neck and ears. At the end of it, I felt simultaneously clear-headed and heavy (not wanting to move from the chair). At $20, my manicure was only $5 more than many manicure places in the city, and it felt much more indulgent with the application of coconut oil to moisten the skin and the above-mentioned coconut flakes to get rid of any dead skin.
The spa itself is spotless, tranquil and beautifully decorated, with light wood and seasonal flowers popping out of thin vases attached to the wall behind the manicure table. And the pedicure chair, which I only had the opportunity to observe, has headphones and a spot where you can plug in your ipod.
I can't recommend Tierra Mia enough for a special event (or everyday pampering).

I discovered Tierra Mia when I moved to Philadelphia last summer. It's fantastic! Owners Justin and Karina are welcoming, professional and Karina gives an excellent manicure and pedicure. I'm so pleased an all-organic nail salon is an option. I've been getting manicures for over twenty years, and I have no reservations giving Tierra Mia Organic five, enthusiastic stars.
Went here for a brazilian wax and actually enjoyed my experience, at least as much as one can enjoy a brazilian wax! The salon has a great atmosphere and is very clean. They use organic products, which I love. Karina, who did my wax, is amazing!! She is professional, friendly, and makes you feel comfortable. She explains the process and ensures you are prepared for the areas that are the most sensitive. She uses a soy based wax that doesn't stick to the skin, making it the least painful brazilian I've had -- and I've had several in Center City Philadelphia, including one at a salon that uses blue, hard wax. I was VERY pleased with the result and Karina was very thorough. I would highly recommend this salon and will definitely be returning in the future. I'd also like to try their mani/pedi services. Get the coffee when you go, it's delicious! They also sell chocolate, which I didn't try but looked delicious as well. Thank you, Karina!!
I am allergic to fragrance, and this is the first pedicure I've been able to get in over ten years. While some other reviewers are frustrated at not being able to bring their own polish, I LOVE that about this place. It's great for being fragrance-free and totally wonderful for the chemically sensitive. When they say "organic" they really mean it. It's not cucumber scent in the cucumber scrub or something that greenwashes itself by claiming to be "98% natural"--it's actual cucumbers spun in a blender. It's not shea butter infused with something to make it smell good--it's just shea butter. It took me about 20 minutes on the phone to confirm that I really truly wouldn't be allergic this place. Justin steered me toward the cucumber-sea salt pedicure over the citrus one on the off chance I'd be allergic to the essential oils used in the citrus pedi. Karina did my pedicure, and we talked about my allergy and she was fine with eliminating the one commercial product that had fragrance. I subjected my pedicure to a week of sand, salt water, and equatorial sun--still going strong. So excited to have found this place!!
