" This place is the best SPA in Philadelphia. "

" It's not just a nail salon- it's a vacation experience. Karina does an amazing job of transporting all customers to Colombia. She is so sweet and so good at everything she does. I strongly recommend her for every service she offers and her staff has excellent customer service. My one tip is to be sure to book your appointments well in advance and give yourself plenty of time to look for parking. "  Jasmine A.

" I only started going here last winter, when - "

" - I decided I wanted a manicure with a little more pampering than what you get at one of the in-and-out quick places.  I'd heard various good things about it, and figured I'd give it a try since the basic manicure was only about two dollars more than the other places.  

I love this place!  The people are very friendly in a genuine way - I never felt like I was a stranger, or shouldn't be there.  The place is small, but very pleasant, and nicely set up.  I have gotten some of the best manicures here that I've ever had, and they last without chipping up to five days - which for me is a miracle!  Even the basic manicure is very pampering, and when I recently tried a pedicure, it was decadent in the most wonderful way possible!

Everyone there seems more than qualified.  I have usually gone to Bianca, but recently had Jen do my pedicure.  I can't imagine that you could go wrong with anyone who works here. "  Bridget C.

" I was a little incredulous of the incredibly high reviews - "

" - for this place, but I see where they come from now and add mine to the mix!

Went here for a bikini wax and got 5 star service the whole way, starting with my phone call for an appointment! The woman who books the appointments is so warm and friendly and was able to give me a same day appointment two days before Valentine's Day... They had to have squeezed me in!

When I got there early, they didn't make me wait until my appointment time, but took me in right after they finished the person before me. I'm not usually one to chat during salon appointments but my waxer was so engaging and friendly that I barely cared that she was tearing hair out of my most sensitive region. She may also have just been very good at it... It was as close to painless as a bikini wax has ever been for me. And she talked me through all the details of maintenance and generally fun facts about waxing so that i felt totally comfortable and not at all apprehensive. When I looked at the results, it was exactly right- just conservative enough for my prudish sensibilities but neat and sexy enough for vday. So happy I went here! Highly recommend.

Edit:: I have to add that the atmosphere is so warm and natural feeling- very comfy as opposed to posh, and instead of women's magazines I found a book of Pablo Neruda poems to weep over while I waited. So great."  kate e.

" I want everyone to go to Mi Cumbia...but - "

" - at the same time I don't want it to get so well-known that it's impossible to get an appointment! This is my go-to place for waxing. Karina is swift, gentle, and precise. The nail treatments are fantastic, too. For a special treat, get the coconut mani/pedi--my hands and feet have never felt better. The entire staff is warm, professional, and dedicated to making sure you're 100% pleased with your services. "  Ali B. Zagat

" This place rocks! I came in here - "

" - for a mani/pedi for my wedding (and brought my fiance and step daughter as well). We all got great service from the moment we walked through the door. We were offered water and tea, and a comfy place to sit. The owner showed us all their polish options. Once we were seated, the staff were kind and very skilled. The sister who did my mani/pedi was really really detailed and thorough. I had just gotten a henna tattoo on both my feet and legs, and she worked around it when scrubbing and massaging. And when my step daughter's toes were done drying, the owner went totally out of he way to help her get her shoes on. I live in Cali and organic nail places are a dime a dozen. I believe this is the only organic shop in Philly, and hands down it's the best I've been in! Totally awesome!"  Liz Derias

" This was my first time here, and I'll definitely - "

" - be back. It is so nice to have an organic salon. There were no annoying fumes. So glad the employees have a healthier environment to work. Everyone was nice and warm, easy to talk to. Blanca gave me a wonderful pedicure and massage. The place is cozy and welcoming. The customer service is fabulous, from start to finish. I can't wait to come back again! "  Wendy Clouser

 

 

" I have been going to Mi Cumbia for almost - "

" - over a year, upon a friends recommendation.. and well haven't stopped... I enjoy their service and atmosphere, one of warmth and elegance. Also I have sensitive nails that respond very well to their organic polishes, which last approx. 2 weeks - even while hiking and camping. The space is well designed and kept. The staff is like family, always remembering when they saw you last and smiling. Exceptional in every way. Great service and can't get myself to go anywhere else. Hands down blows all other salons out of the water."  Sarah Z Salem

" I had my first manicure in Mi Cumbia. "

" I definitely can recommended this place! They take care of every person from the beginning to the end. They checked each nail individually whether it's dry enough. I had also coconut massage. Revelation! It's very good to relax. Also, they have very delicious coffee :) atmosphere is very friendly what you can see and feel. I love design there what only add a glamour for this place. For me, it's the best place for every woman for manicure. I'm not disappointed at all. I will go back there!"  Pau Lina

" I been coming to Mi Cumbia Organica for - "

" - a very long time now and every experience when I walk through the door is a beautiful one!!!! Every staff member makes me feels welcomed and loved. They will personally pick out the best colors for you if you are indecisive like I can be sometimes lol, but overall I love each and every person there and I can't wait to continue to have more great moments with them. So anyone reading this please make a trip to Mi Cumbia, the best nail salon in Philadelphia!!!! CHEERS 😊" TheSpoiledrotten

" This little sanctuary has been my absolute - "

" - favorite place for manicures and pedicures since the first time I walked into it over two years ago. The space is beautiful and the people are warm and highly skilled, so you immediately are made to feel like you are in good hands and can just relax and enjoy your toxin-free services. And, oh yeah, they make your nails look totally gorgeous as well! "  Gabrielle Corsaro

" First of all let me say I am not young - "

" - (although young at heart) and that I have never been the type of woman who keeps up on her nails. I have always been somewhat intimidated by "beauty places;" by the cliquishness and at many I instantly feel my mental age regressing to junior high when I was clearly not one of the "cool girls." So I'm always a little nervous about going to a new place. But the folks at Tierra immediately made me feel welcome and that they were glad I was there. And the service was fantastic - I was clearly in the hands of a professional who was dedicated to doing a good job. GREAT place, wonderful vibe, welcoming to all. I'm very, very happy with Tierra.
I returned yesterday to take a friend as a graduation present. Another wonderful experience and excellent service! Really nice folks who take great pride in making their clients feel welcomed and in doing a fantastic job. "  Kathy Smith

" This was my first time here, and I'll definitely be back. "

" Marjorie gave me a wonderful pedicure and manicure. The environment isn't like a normal nail salon, it is calm and relaxing, so you don't feel rushed by other clients waiting to get their services. It also doesn't reek of chemicals. The customer service is fabulous, from start to finish. I loved the coconut manicure! It was luxurious and left my skin super soft. Great place for guys too. "  Erica Hildenbrand

" 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

" 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

" 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
