" - (I'm a physician), and Mi Cumbia is THE place for me to go to pamper my hands and get some relaxation and down time. I love the coconut manicure with hand massage, accompanied by a cup of java ($1.50) and a flight of chocolates (just $1). No horrible fumes, no tacky music, and the employees are cheerful, calm, and fun. " Kanani Titchen
" - so warm and kind. And the ambience transported you to another land.... Kendra gave me a relaxing pedicure and helped my choose my color, which was a sparkly red (think Dorothy's shoes from Wizard of Oz) & Karina was very amiable. I found a new pedicure shop! :-) " Rovetta M
" - professional and helpful in meeting my needs. Despite a scheduling issue, they accommodated me and were very friendly and courteous. Zahar at the front desk was wonderful in finding me a good time to enjoy a pedicure. My pedicurist, (sorry I am forgetting her name lol) was very kind and extremely meticulous in make my nails look perfect. Her foot massage was amazing - she puts effort into her work and it is much appreciated! Thank you and I will be back again soon :) " Rachel Benyola
" Quick and as painless as possible. I've been coming here for over 2 years now. Staff is friendly and the spa makes you feel like you're in a peaceful hideaway. " Marcia Watson
" - in Philly. I was given a certificate here as a gift and I will not go anywhere else now. Calm, serene, and great professionals. I have had different people each time I've gone and they are all the same - fantastic. I highly recommend the coconut oil pedicure - worth every relaxing minute. Only issue is finding parking on the street - but what else is new in Philly! " Penn Friars
" - done since they had a great rating. The receptionist was friendly and checked me in right away. Karina did my wax and she did a great job. I've been trying to grow my eyebrows out for a while now and they were just starting to look wacky. She gave me some helpful tips to keep growing them out. I love the atmosphere as well. A really nice place! " Melissa C.
" I just don't even have the words to describe how pleased I am with their service and (all organic!) products.
Whenever I walk through the door, I get a pleasant greeting from the staff. And I don't just mean the receptionist, I mean everyone I pass by smiles and says hello. Whether it's your first or fiftieth Brazilian, Carina makes sure that you are comfortable and are aware of what her process is--and she ensures your dignity remains intact while you're there. As for pain, of course it stings a bit, but she really does minimize the ouch-factor. She is fast, professional, knowledgeable, yet friendly and approachable.
I've not had the coffee...heard it's to die for...and I wouldn't be surprised. The chocolates they sell are hand crafted, organic, and just addictive. Yes, they're pricey, but worth it for a special treat. Most are vegan friendly, too!
I can't end this review without a nod to their organic sugar. I call it the Mi Cumbia Craft Sugar....but whatever its name, it is worth getting some. Home crafted by cane farmers in Colombia, it has an earthy sweetness with a hint of a molasses flavor.
Next on my list? Getting a mani/pedi there....they seriously pamper their clients in a spotless salon. Pricey? Sure. Worth it? Every penny. " J C.
" The quality of the manicure and overall experience are fantastic.
Have you ever wanted to have a relaxing manicure and found that the experience was hectic, the salon phone was constantly chirping, and you were rushed out so the next customer could have your seat? Well there's none of that here.
If you can imagine getting a manicure in a yoga studio, that's what Mi Cumbia is like. The staff is warm and friendly without being intrusive, and they were beyond patient when I was trying to decide between 10 different nail polish colors. The atmosphere is soothing and relaxing. The nail polish is all organic and they serve an excellent cup of Colombian coffee. Without hesitation, this is the only place I go for manicures. " Laura C.
" I loved the results, but hated the experience of every other establishment: rushed, maybe clean?!?, no regard for chemicals, unfriendly and awkward.
Mi Cumbia Organica has changed that. I couldn't recommend them more. They are super warm and welcoming and have a wide variety of safe polishes to choose from. Super clean and quaint inside. It doesn't smell like a nail salon. Very spa like in a beautiful and friendly way. The staff is amazing. They have delicious coffee and chocolate and gorgeous jewelry for sale.
I'll never go anywhere else!!!
OH! And one time I messed up my appointment time. 100% my fault. Not only were they professional and understanding but they accommodated me and paid for my coffee for the inconvenience of a slight service change! " Kristen H.
" - to get my eyebrows waxed... It takes a special staff and place to actually look forward to get my hair pulled out !!! " Chelsea D
" - for me and a friend after reading the great Yelp reviews. We both had the Coconut Pedicura and it was amazing. The ambiance of the room is very calm and relaxing - you really feel like you've been transported to Colombia! The pedicurists took their time with us and our service included a foot massage that transported me to another world. My pedicure looks perfect today, after 4 days of walking around the city in sandals. My pedicurist was Gabriela, who was very sweet and friendly! You will not be disappointed!
This salon is pricey, but you are paying for the experience of true indulgence and relaxation, top-quality organic products, and supporting a family-owned business. Well worth it! " Meredith L.
" - splurge at Mi Cumbia. Anywhere else is just a manicure; this place is an experience. I had a most fabulous visit this past Friday. Karina helped me pick out the perfect shade to go with my outfit for my milestone birthday bash and engagement announcement. And Gabby gave me a wonderful manicure and pedicure (and you know those first pedicures of the season are always a little rough;-).
My birthday bash was a blast! And I was proud and excited to show off my new ring with my perfect manicure :-)
Muchas Gracias! " Sharon H.
" Great facility, great staff, clean! Get the signature pedicure and manicure. " April S.
" - chipped in a week - never had that happen before, especially with organic polish. The chocolate and coffee was a wonderfully unique touch. Really friendly staff. Will definitely be back. " A G.
" - + some other personal problems have left me in a bit of a meltdown, and my cuticles alone have been needing some TLC: I chew & pick on them when I'm sad & anxious, & this week has been, pretty much, nothing BUT sad & anxious.
Enter amazing sister-in-law extraordinaire with a gift-certificate to Mi Cumbia for a mani-pedi, which I oh so desperately needed. (Why yes, I DO have the best sister-in-law ever, & yes, you SHOULD be jealous...a SIL+BFF all-in-one is something not all women are lucky enough to have!)
So, now, about Mi Cumbia...I LOVE everything about this place. Everything organic, most products are vegan, love the decor, love the music, & everyone who worked there was super nice. Oh, and the raw organic chocolate from Colombia? Treat yourself!
Hanh did my mani-pedi & she was nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did she have to work extra crazy hard to get what might have been 4-5 coats of ridiculous glitter polish off my toes (don't ask, I'm an idiot & shouldn't be allowed to do my own nails ever), but she cleaned up my cuticles so well that you would never know that my week was full of anxiety & sadness! My fingers are a beautiful shade of pastel pink, & my toes are a complementary shade of pastel green.
And all is right in the world. " Laura Jill S.
" - but that was my first time having a Brazilian with Karina. I decided to provide an update because, since then, I've been going for a Brazilian and underarms every 3-5 weeks.
Nothing's changed except that I've moved to DC but still go to Tierra Mia for my waxing. I have been getting waxed for the past 4-5 years and have never been this consistent. I'm consistent because I don't have an excuse not to be. I don't dread going for fear of how painful it's going to be or how astronomical the cost. Those were probably the two top reasons for my previous inconsistency. I don't think waxing can be completely painless because hair is being ripped off of your vajay-jay but she takes extra steps to ensure that you tolerate it as much as possible. That's why it's worth every penny!
The staff is always friendly and offer cold water while you wait (I've read other reviews where patrons were offered chocolate and other fancy stuff although I can't comment on it). It's always clean, and most importantly, Karina is always professional but warm. " Ayana P.
" - in Philly! It's tucked away but when you get inside, it is such a relaxing and calming decor and atmosphere. The organic polishes and scrubs are amazing! If you are in the city, make sure you go!! " K M.
" - and it was a very good experience. Katrina is amazing. I walked in the room and she had a hand towel so I could lay over myself after getting changed plus a packaged wipe so I could freshen up. I have been getting Brazilian waxes since I was 18 and this was one was nearly painless. After she pulls a strip of hair she holds the skin so the pain is less. She keeps you updated throughout your wax "2 more strips on this side" which is nice. She also took the time to pluck the little hairs at the end so everything was perfect, Overall everything was great and I will be coming back in 4 weeks for a touch up :) xoxoxoxo " Tiffany T.
" - experience. I get manicures and pedicures from time to time, but always feel a little out of place as one of the only guys there.
Mi Cumbia is a much more gender neutral experience with their salon set up (cool burlap coffee bags adorn the walls). When I called, Sean was able to get me a same day appointment and provides excellent customer service. He made me an outstanding coffee when I arrived and is just an all-around positive and nice guy.
Marjorie did my pedicure and Blanca the manicure. Both were very pleasant and did a great job. The all-natural, organic products are a plus. " Paul G.
" - organic products and great friendly staff. I highly recommend! " KJ S.
