" I've been frequenting this salon for over - "

/

" - a year now and have only had a great experience every time. Everyone in this beautiful, wonderful-smelling space makes you feel welcome and well taken care of. Sahar and the other girls who have worked the front desk are some of the warmest people I've come across!

Karina does my brows with such precision and attention to detail, and puts the effort into creating a peaceful space for her clients. I also love the set up of only two pedicure stations in the back of the salon, making the pedicures even more relaxing than they already are. There is a foot massage service that can be added to a pedicure or done alone, which I really enjoy when I have the extra money to splurge.

The salon has an amazing selection of colors which is always perfectly organized, and some available for purchase. They also sell Columbian coffee, chocolate, and hand-crafted jewelry. 

Mi Cumbia is definitely much pricier than the average salon, but the experience makes the extra amount worth it. Treat yourself and enjoy one of the most comfortable and friendly spots in the city! "  Linda Z.

" The girls are very friendly, no smell of - "

" - nail products, a great ambience. Background music is nice and relaxing. Street parking is not hard but not too easy either and also there's a parking lot outside. I will definitely be coming back. Prices are a bit expensive but you feel really good while they are doing your nails. The hand massage is great and they have a wide variety of colors. They only use organic products. The coconut line of products smell great too. "  C P.

" I had had a few bad waxing experiences - "

/

" - since moving to Philly that really turned me off of the practice altogether, and left me worried I wouldn't be able to find anyone decent.  After a quick search for best-rated waxing salons in the area, Mi Cumbia kept showing up.

I took a leap of faith and booked an appointment with Karina, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. 

The atmosphere is calm, the staff is exceptionally welcoming, and the service is amazing.  I am usually greeted by name when I walk in, offered something to drink, then in and out within 20 minutes.

I refuse to go to anyone else at this stage, and have recommended Karina and Mi Cumbia to a few friends, most of whom are equally devoted now.

If you're looking for a comfortable waxing experience, with an expert aesthetician, quick service in a relaxing setting, and totally reasonable prices, you really must go to Mi Cumbia. "  Clare M.

" I found this place here on yelp and - "

/

" - it did not disappoint. It's an adorable place and I love their all organic approach!  I had my eyebrows done, I used to get them threaded but the last time I had them done the girl made them too thin.  I wanted to find someone who really takes the time to shape them rather than just trying to get through as many customers as possible.  I am thrilled at how they turned out and the attention to detail here!  I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to my appointment in a few weeks for a pedicure!

" The staff at Mi Cumbia was extremely - "

/

" - 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

 

 

" Look no further for your nail services - "

/

" - 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

" This place is fantastic! "

/

" 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.

" Simply THE BEST manicure in Philadelphia. "

/

" 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 used to hate getting a manicure. "

/

" 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.

" I booked manicure/pedicure appointments - "

/

" - 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.

" I always look forward to my biweekly - "

/

" - 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.
