" Mi Cumbia is the place I want to share with all my - "

" - friends and family. It's a one-of-a-kind place that transports you as soon as you step through the door; the atmosphere is incredible, the coffee and chocolate sublime, and the people extraordinarily kind, happy and lovely, inside and out. The quality of service is amazing and spot-on. And if you're a first-timer with Brazilian waxing, I can't imagine anywhere else being as loving or nurturing throughout the process. Mi Cumbia is my favorite place to go, hands down, no holds barred. "  Kate Lawn

" My recent manicure here was a wonderful - "

" - and more than satisfactory experience. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed, informed, and was made comfortable. The woman who greeted me and checked me in, Blanca, who did my manicure, and the man who checked me out were all very friendly and made sure I was satisfied with my experience. I'll definitely be back to get my gel manicure removed and to get my nails done again. "  Katherine Hanson

" My services and experience were incredible. "

" Far beyond my expectations and more friendly, happy and accommodating than any service I've had in a long time. My most favorite things were all in one place...dark chocolate, rich Colombia coffee and pampering. It's like my heaven on earth! Thank you and I will definitely be back. " Tammy Miller

" This place is awesome! Exotic escape - "

" - in a peaceful neighborhood. I always get my eyebrows waxed here and Karina is fantastic with shape and very hospitable. The pedicures are awesome and they use natural ingredients in a clever and relaxing way. " james ruiz

" I will not go anywhere else for - "

" - a wax or pedicure in the Philly area! Ever since my first experience, I've had nothing but exceptional service. Karina is warm, personable, knowledgeable and always remembers details from my life that I shared with her at my last visit. The waxing is pretty ouchless and since I tend to be having a nice conversation with Karina, I don't really notice any pain! The pedicures have been amazing!! I've always had the coconut one and I practically fall asleep when the technician paints warm oil over my feet and legs and then massages them. It is so relaxing!! The added plus to all this is that the nail polish is organic. I've had the coffee, chocolate and even brought a bottle of bubbly when I was there with a friend, all adding to a luxurious visit. You will not be tempted to go elsewhere after coming to Mi Cumbia. "  Serena Sterling

" Everything at Mi Cumbia is top-notch, - "

" - from the nail services to the delicious chocolate and coffee. The staff is as friendly as they are professional. Overall, it's a relaxing, luxurious experience. "  Alison Butterfass

" A lovely experience. "

" It is nice to walk into a nail salon/spa and not smell so many harsh man made chemicals. My personal Spa Staff....Nail-tician Blanca is very nice and sweet and hones her craft, a perfectionist, making sure you leave looking and feeling amazing. The entire staff is just as lovely and welcoming. Mi Cumbia aka Terra Mia is added to my list of city's "secret" getaway. Thank you ladies of Mi Cumbia. "  Evette Carlton

" I was in need of a new waxing place since - "

" - I recently moved back to Philly. Mi Cumbia and Karina were highly recommended so I scheduled my appointment. Yesterday was my first appointment and I will definitely be going there for all my waxing needs! I arrived about 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment and on the dot, Karina greeted me and walked me back to the waxing room. WOW!!! She took the time to talk to me about waxing and the techniques and wax she would be using. This was my first full on Brazilian and she made me feel very comfortable. When she got to waxing she was quick (not rushed) and thorough!! She talked to me about maintaining the area to help reduce ingrown hairs and I left with a little antibacterial cream for the first 12-24 hours. In all the years I have been getting waxed this was ranked possibly the top. There was pain, but it was minimal. Upon getting home I maybe had 1 rogue hair not caught by Karina's eye. Not to mention the summer special that if you go back in 3 weeks, they offer a discounting follow up to keep you beach ready.

The atmosphere and rest of the employees were also top notch. I will most definitely be going back!!! "  Alia Palumbo

" You won't be able to go anywhere else once - "

" - you've tried Tierra Mia! After trying a few places, I've had all of my waxing done here on a regular basis for over a year now. It's the cleanest, least painful and best results (smoothest, longest-lasting and least traumatizing for my skin) I've ever had from wax. She's gifted at eyebrow shaping. Everyone here is warm, welcoming and friendly and the entire place has personality- none of that cold, neutral chain spa feel. They care about the business, the services and the cusomters. "  Josefa Silva

" I have been to multiple places/technicians - "

" - all over the world. Karina is hands down the best I've ever seen. Karina ensures that everyone receives a quality appointment and demonstrates her expertise in wax formulations and skincare before and after waxing. This place is fantastic. " Sasha Niemeyer

" My friends and I came in for my girlfriend's pre-wedding- "

" - day festivities and it surpassed any and all expectations. The manicure was such a treat! She took her time and my nails look great. Very relaxed vibe, with friendly nail technicians and staff. We enjoyed our experience immensely and would definitely go back there for a special occasion! "  Emily G

" Had a wonderful mani/pedi the other - "

" - day at MI CUMBIA. I loved that they used good products that were both safe and toxin free. A spa experience you can feel good about! Thank you so much for being part of my introduction to Philly. I'm looking forward to being a regular customer and bringing my friends in for pampering when they come visit. "  Ashley J

" I literally just walked in the door from my coconut - "

" - manicure at Tierra Mia and I feel positively blissful. As if that didn't justify my visit enough, my nails look flawless. That's no easy feat, especially when the shade is dark. And speaking of which, one of the things I love about this salon is that you are guided through the polishes and encouraged to check them out on your nail first before committing to a color. What I originally thought I wanted turned out to be too dark but a second polish was just what I was looking for. 

Treat yourself, ladies. "  Michelle C.

" Pros: Customer Service! High quality wax! - "

" - Great technician (Karina, the owner)!
Cons: Waxing tends to run 5-10 minutes behind schedule of your appointment. 

Overall: Smaller location, so sometimes hard to get an appointment. Definitely recommend scheduling all waxing well in advance if you know about trips/ events etc. She is the only eyebrow waxers I've had that took the time to go over the shape of my eyebrow in a general, and then follow up with where I should and shouldn't be plucking to let hair grow in. She is truly an expert in her field and I love the wax they use. I have also gotten bikini here and highly recommend it as well- she does a wonderful, professional, job on all waxing. Only place I go in the city. Waiting the 5-10minutes is not big deal- I always just catch up on emails. 
PS- Amazing chocolate bars that make great gifts! Be sure to ask for free sample to try out the different flavors! "  Sally S.

" I've been coming to Mi Cumbia for nail and waxing services - "

" - for a while and have nothing but good things to say about ambiance, experience, and customer service. The staff are friendly and attentive. The prices for manicure/pedicure can seem steep but I don't get my nails done regularly so I'm willing to pay more. They provide a level of cleanliness that you don't get in a typical salon and use non-toxic polishes so you don't feel like you're inhaling fumes. Vivian did the best manicure I've ever had! As for waxing, it's all single-use and again a level of cleanliness that is not always maintained at other salons. Karina, the owner, provides the waxing services and is very professional. Mi Cumbia gives you a packet of lotion to prevent infection and ingrown hair with every appointment.   

I've noticed they get very busy in the summer so you have to schedule your appointments accordingly! "  Brenna R.

" Mom and I went here for manis a couple months ago. "

" The first thing you notice when you walk in is the lack of chemical smells you would expect. It's more spa-like than your usual spots around town. They are organic and chemical free. They exfoliating hands with freshly grated coconut. I loved it. The staff is really professional and pampering. "  LL M.

" I'm so happy to have found my go to waxer! "

" From the second I walked in I knew it was special. Such a lovely, cozy environment. My wax was expertly done and as painfree as possible. I've already booked in for two more appts. Can't recommend this place enough. "  Jemma C.

" Brought my daughters here for a mani pedi - "

" - treatment before my daughter's wedding. aside from a glitch with making an appointment, this was a wonderful experience!  the salon is clean,warm and welcoming. there are only two pedicure chairs, so the pedicures are relaxing and calm. I like that they use led lights for shellacs and the wide selections of colors are an added bonus. I will be coming back whenever I'm in philly. "  Dawn F.

" After having a terrible experience from another salon - "

" - (which I have also reviewed) I was very skeptical of a place to go next for my Brazillian waxes. Mi Cumbia is the best place I have ever been and I feel so lucky to have found it. I know I'm just adding to the already glowing reviews but seriously, this place is amazing, Karina knows her stuff and I always leave feeling like a million bucks. 

added bonus: that coffee. wow. "  Veronika V.

" OK. I am simply an aspiring restaurant reviewer. "

" My yelps are almost entirely food. A bit bored in the city, decided to give a pedicure a try. I have never had one and it was time to splurge"
I had my friend and his son join in the fun.  The three of us had quite the treat. The owners/hosts made us feel at home, along with their fantastic team. We went with both special treatments of both manicures and pedicures.  But first, they offer us a drink popular in Columbia (the owners home). It has sugar cane that is boiled and reduced to a syrup and is then mixed with fresh lime and water. Awesome.
First the manicure. I had the coconut treatment. Besides a perfect manicure, coconut oil is brushed then massged into your skin, then fresh coconut flakes are rubbed in to exfoliate.
Next the pedicure. Nice cushy massage chairs allow you to control settings. I had the Cumbia. Along with a pedicure, cucumber puree is massaged into your legs and feet along with cucumber slices placed between your toes. I was apprehensive about getting the pedicure because I have very tickly feet. Besides a moment or two my feet were not sensitive and I found the treatment (and my neglected feet) to be very relaxing.
I enjoy a good massage maybe once or twice a year. This experience provides a similar level of indulgence.
I do hope to schedule some more in the near future.
This place is all organic. Even better. We all had a great time with relaxation and laughs. "  David A.
