This was the most wonderful manicure experience I’ve ever had. Gabriella was so kind and lovely. She started by asking if I wanted a neck warmer, then did a great job on my nails. At the end, she did a really nice and relaxing arm massage. Sahar made me the most delicious and fresh coffee to enjoy. Thank you for the best manicure experience. Gracias!!

This review is long overdue!!! I love everythingabout Mi Cumbia from the services to the team. I truly feel cared for. Nail health is priority and Karina does an amazing job explaining her process. Ive been coming here for about a year and Im happy to say that I finally have a go-to nail salon. OH and I cant forget Sahar who is an absolute joy to be around!

Im really not one to write reviews, and manicures are usually just a chore for me. But I just had the best manicure Ive ever had!! Luz was so incredible at so sweet. The whole staff felt like a happy family and the vibes were great. The salon itself is beautiful- so unique, relaxing and energizing at the same time. Thetreatments are so worth it and so unique- I loved the coconut scrub!! 100% will be going back (maybe even tomorrow for a pedicure)!

Mi Cumbia is a gem in Rittenhouse! It is such a welcoming and friendly environment as soon as you walk through the door. The services are top notch, relaxing, and last! Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for a great place to treat themselves and relax. I will definitely be back soon!

Mi Cumbia is extraordinary. I’ve had two pedicure services here and both were incredible! I highly recommend Mi Cumbia for their outstanding customer service, calm environment, nice products, and talented staff. They truly think of every detail to make the experience as relaxing and transformative as possible. You need to experience it for yourself!

I dont get my nails done often, but I had an engagement shoot coming up that I needed my hands to look nice for. Im so happy I found Mi Cumbia! Everyone was so warm and sweet as soon as I walked in. I was also impressed and relieved when they pulled out the tools in sterile bags. The cleanliness is top notch and so important when working with hands and feet, and no nauseating dusty smells from acrylic here. I usually dont have a pleasant time getting my nails done, but Gabriela was so gentle and meticulous, I felt so relaxed the whole time. I will definitely return!

I’m truly obsessed with Mi Cumbia! The staff are so lovely, the space is adorably decorated, and I always leave with my nails looking perfect. This is where I come when I’m stressed and need to relax. Highly recommend to anyone living in or visiting Philly.

Gorgeous brows and nails by Karina! This review is long overdue, have been getting beautified here for years and will go nowhere else. Delicious coffee and royal treatment. The hand massage alone puts me on a cloud. Perfect for treat yourself time or a spa day with your bestie. And so close to great eats to show off your gorgeous self after. Gift cards are a definite hit. Muchas gracias!

I have been going to Mi Cumbia for a little over a year now, and it’s the BEST waxing experience I’ve had anywhere in the U.S. Right off the bat, you are greeting by the most loving and welcoming staff. Lucesita will help you with all your booking needs and never fails to have a smile on her face or a little dance in her feet. If you are new to waxing, Karina will talk you through an orientation explaining her technique and how hair growth/waxing works. Never have I EVER had a waxing lady as tedious, efficient, and personable as Karina. She even breaks out the tweezers to get any ingrowns in sight! After my first couple of waxes at Mi Cumbia, I could tell a difference unlike any waxing place— complete and utter SMOOTHNESS. It truly is the perfect wax. Recovery is fast and with her technique you aren’t in much pain during the whole process. Karina is always getting you to chat and distracts you from the waxing— she’s so easy to talk too, that sometimes I forget my bikini line is getting waxed!! I’m sure there’s cheaper places in Philadelphia, but Mi Cumbia is worth every. Dang. Penny. The service is beyond anything else you can get in the city. What I love most about Mi Cumbia, was the friendliness of the staff. They remembered conversations from last visits and always made me feel the utmost comfortable. Getting your first wax or trying a new place out can be really awkward, but I never felt that here. You are in good hands. I tell everyone I know they need to cancel their next wax appointment and book with Karina instead!!!

Hands down the best manicure and pedicure shop I have visited. They try to keep you with the same person so you feel familiarity. Booking is easily done via text and they send out reminders. Pay online first prior to visit to secure a few days before. Busy days are on the weekends and evening hours. Pedicure is great because it’s only 2 people at a time. They take their time and I feel so pampered. My nails look great every time. They have great products that don’t mess up your nails. It can be on pricer side but so worth it. Staff are soooooo cheery and nice. Offers to take my coat, offers tea, coffee, or water…offers neck warmers…it’s great and really well thought out for a smaller space. It never smells like the harsh nail salons I have been to before where the acetone hits you right when you walk in. They also try to source products from local countries and support them. They also do want do waxing, brows, etc. Shout-out to Ofelia who is always so sweet and professional ❤️❤️❤️

MI CUMBIA is one of the best places in Philadelphia! We had such an amazing experience. My fiancé, 6 from our wedding party and I had a Pampering Day before my wedding and got Mani/Pedis. This place went above and beyond our expectations with regards to how well they took care of us. From putting up Congratulations signs on the walls, to telling us to bring snacks and champagne so they can serve it to us. Sahar is an angel sent to Earth. She was the life of the party and made the experience what it was. Everyone who helped us was kind and professional. All 8 of us had such an incredible time here and cannot wait to have another Pampering Day in the future.

This is a beautiful place! I loved the work girls did on my nails. It was almost impossible to find a decent place to do gel but I found it! I needed a plain color for my upcoming wedding and it worked perfectly. Moreover, the gel lasted for about 4 weeks on my nails.Great job! Will definitely come back to this place when I’m in Philly again.

If you are on the fence on if you should book- do it!! I have never had such a relaxing/fulfilling experience. The energy of this place is so peaceful and positive. From the moment I walked in the staff was so warm and welcoming. Appreciate the mission of this business and the community it cultivates. You get what you pay for and it’s worth every penny. Will definitely be back in the future (:

I love the services here. They really use high quality products. I have been to many nail salons for gel nails and their products really keep my nails healthy. I also notice that their manicures lasts up to 3 weeks. Though prices are on the higher end, you really do get what you paid for. All of the staff are so warm and welcoming. It’s small but cozy and you don’t feel like you are in a factory mill. I feel like a million bucks when I leave. Sanitary and clean. It doesn’t even smell like a typical nail salon where I get headaches from the smell of polish and remover.

Came here as part of an exhaustive search and am totally in love with this place. The booking experience was really easy, as soon as I got there everyone made me feel totally comfortable. The pedicure was fantastic with the best foot massage I’ve had in my life, my technician (Luce) did a beautiful job. The coffee was also delicious! And everyone took huge care to send me away with unsmudged nails. Couldn’t think of anything to better this experiences, would give 6 stars if I could.

Mi Cumbia is by far the best place for a mani and/or pedi in the entire PA/NJ/DE region! My non-gel nails always last at least a week. Sahar and the entire staff are so kind. I only have positive words about this business and their people!

Review №23

A regular visitor here for the past one year and my only regret is that I didn’t know of it sooner. Yes, the service is GREAT and incomparable to any in Philadelphia but the people.. the people working here make it feel like the coziest place in city. I moved to Philadelphia four years ago (from Asia) and I never truly felt like I was home in Philly until I went to Mi Cumbia. Ever since my first visit, Philly has felt nothing less than my first home in states. I love this place and cannot thank Karina and Sahar enough for making this into such a beautiful womanhood sanctuary.

Twenty years of getting my nails done up and down the East Coast and the coconut pedicure at Mi Cumbia was by far my absolute favorite. The vibe is wonderful. Everyone was warm and friendly. The space is just beautiful. They used the full hour to take care of me unhurriedly and attentively. The massage was phenomenal and my toes look perfect. Thank you, Mi Cumbia. You have another devoted client!

I’ve been coming here weekly for manicures and pedicures since 2018ish. It’s the only place I have gone in that time period because the customer service is amazing, and the quality of the work is unmatched. 100% perfect every time. Ofellia never misses. She’s the Michael Jordan of it all. If you go do have a cup of coffee or tea. The owners and staff made me fill like family. This is the best of Philly ✊🏾The secret sauce at Mi Cumbia is Sahar!!! Her customer services is 7 star ⭐️! I’ve never seen anything like it.She has a unique skill of being able to uplift a person as soon as she says hello. She cares about every client and makes the experience an experience! I live for my Fridays at Mi Cumbia ❤️

Mi Cumbia is one of the most wonderful spas that I have ever had the pleasure to visit! A long time client of Karina’s for over 7 years simply due to her graciousness and excellent techniques with the services. Sahar and the rest of the Mi Cumbia team are all so welcoming and accommodating. The spa itself is so very inviting and soothing ~ you are instantly encouraged to relax and truly leave your troubles at the door… Do not hesitate to book your next waxing appointment or mani/pedi appointment with Mi Cumbia!!💛🥰💫

Absolute best salon in Philly!! The staff are all so sweet & helpful. Highly recommend the pedicures & waxing services. The back room has such a relaxing atmosphere where you can truly unwind - it’s a very private, spa-like experience with soft music and dim lighting unlike any other nail salon i’ve visited. Really can’t say enough good things, book with them as soon as you can!

I had a wonderful experience here with my twin sister for our birthday just last week! From the moment we entered to the moment we left, we were showered with such welcoming and joyous energy and pampering, they truly made us feel special. They had little signs that said “Happy Birthday” on our seats for our pedicure 🥹. Our aestheticians Luz and Angelica (I’m sorry if I’m getting the spellings wrong!) we’re phenomenal, and Cassandra was so helpful in picking out our colors and managing the whole experience. We did the Nuevo mani-pedi and I can truly say my hands and feet felt like new - I love that they use natural ingredients. I will definitely be back!

Just wow! Great atmosphere and great service. My wife and I went here on 9/9/20 for pedicures. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a woman in the front area. I didnt catch her name, but her personality was very kind and bubbly. Made us feel right at home right away. And the pedicures themselves were great. Highly recommend Mi Cumbia!!

I visited Mi Cumbia for the first time this week and am EXTREMELY happy to have found this place. At first I thought the price seemed steep (I am used to those super cheap NY prices) BUT the service and the end result are incomparable to salons I have visited in NYC, Philly, Or SJ. The price is well worth it. I got the Shellac (gels) and they look amazing. Gabriela and the rest of the women at the salon were kind, courteous, and pleasant. Not to mention the complimentary coffee they offer was AMAZING. I will definitely be visiting again and cant say enough great things about my experience.

I cant say enough wonderful things about Mi Cumbia. The service is always wonderful and the staff is fantastic. Everyone is kind, caring, super friendly, and accommodating. Ive tried many places in the city and Mi Cumbia is honestly by far the best. The space has a nice and welcoming ambiance and unlike other salons, it doesnt smell like acrylic which is fantastic! I have easily gone three weeks without my Shellac manicure chipping. This is my go to place and I will not be going anywhere else.Thank you for always keeping my nails on point!

I have been coming to Mi Cumbia for about 4 years now and Im never disappointed - I wouldnt think of going anywhere else! Karina is such a knowledgeable aesthetician and makes sure that her clients know whats going on each step of the way. Vanessa has done such a great job picking up Karinas clients while she is on maternity leave - and I always feel like Im in good hands. Though I mainly go for waxing, all of the staff is always so welcoming and friendly - I have so much fun when Im there! Its a beautiful, calming, and clean atmosphere as well. Thank you Mi Cumbia staff for creating such a vibrant community!

Kelly did a great job with my pedicure, as she has done before. I think that Mi Cumbia is a wonderful place, great attitude among the staff and very professional. This last time, things were a little backed up in the shop (possibly because of the Memorial Day weekend) but I was well attended too and even received a complimentary chocolate flight while I waited. Definitely a go to spot if you really want to be pampered.

I have been going to Mi Cumbia for almost over a year, upon a friends recommendation.. and well havent 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 cant get myself to go anywhere else. Hands down blows all other salons out of the water.

Review №55

I am on an extended visit to Philadelphia. I was looking for a pedicure that was extra special and relaxing. I really wanted to be wowed by the $91 signature ultra healing pedicure. I was not. The pedicure itself was very nice, but not spectacular. It was really the whole experience that was somewhat lacking. Specifically I was offered a drink upon arrival, I never received it. Asked for it a second time while I was drying, still never got it. The seating while waiting (my appointment time was about 10 minutes late and I was asked to arrive 10 minutes early - and I was early - so I sat on a bench with no back for an extended period both before and after my appointment) was uncomfortable and certainly not indulgent or pampering. When seated for the pedicure, the sliding door was left open on several occasions and the sunlight bouncing off the street outside was stark and blinding - again anything but relaxing or pampering. The surroundings were beautifully decorated, the employees were friendly but follow through on service was average at best, poor given that this was the most expensive pedicure I’ve ever indulged in. I so wanted to have had a stellar experience - my daughter’s birthday is later this month and I wanted to treat her to some self pampering. I will need to explore other options.

Review №56

Every experience at Mia Cumbia is one I look forward to. It’s an oasis in the city. The care and attention the incredible staff there provide (not to mention warmth and love they exude) make it a very special place. They use natural/non-toxic products (i.e: they shave fresh coconut for an exfoliant), so you won’t encounter the usual strong smell often found at nail salons. But this is way beyond any nail salon, it feels like a spa experience. Mia Cumbia focuses on the details which make all the difference. I highly recommend taking time for self-care here.

My friend and I have made it tradition to go here to celebrate surviving each semester of grad school. I describe Mi Cumbia as the Mercedes Benz of all spas / nail salons. The extraordinary experience is worth the money spent. Their “routine” is nothing like the traditional manicure or pedicure. I love the organic products that are used on my skin— mango butter, crushed flowers (So heavenly!) Above all, customer service is amazing and the ladies that work there are personable.

Wonderful customer service! The staff were friendly and professional. Although I consider myself a progressive man, I had to overcome my gender issues and just enjoy the experience as a first time customer and having my first ever pedicure, and they made it easy. The technician who worked on me was gentle and explained everything as she went along. She gave me advice about caring for my nails and advised me to give my feet a rest more often because she could tell I am on my feet a lot. I was the only male customer, but I got no weird looks as I feared. The spa even stayed open a little past the stated closing time while I went to the ATM to get some cash for the technicians tip. Since two other customers were waiting around, presumably for rides, I gather that such courtesies are not rare. Also, only natural products are used at this spa so there were no weird or unpleasant chemical odors, just pleasant herbal and floral scents. It was worth the price!

Review №65

I have a terrible allergic reaction to typical gel manicures and acrylics. I decided to give Mi Cumbia a chance since they advertised as a natural salon. My first shellac manicure at this place was amazing! My fingers did not itch or burn and my manicure looked wonderful. I got three compliments that first week on my nails! Yesterday was my second visit and my second manicure looks and feels just as great as my first. I also had a lip/brow wax this time. My sensitive facial skin usually turns a bright shade of red and becomes irritated after a wax. Not at Mi Cumbia! My brows look amazing and my lip is smooth! No redness right irritation at all.The prices are a little higher than I would like to pay but you know how the saying goes — You get what you pay for! It’s obvious that the products they use are top of the line. For someone like me with sensitive skin it’s work every penny!

I LOVE everything about Mi Cumbia. From the moment you walk in, you’re always greeted with a warm hello from at least one person..then offered a drink of their delicious coffee or water (which tastes extra delicious served in their signature mi Cumbia glass mugs for some reason.) the music and ambiance is always on point and I even enjoy just sitting there, relaxing and taking it all in, while I wait.The service is comparable to none!!! This is my favorite place to get my nails and now my eyebrows done. The quality is beautiful and holds up well. The products are organic/natural and it feels good to know it’s non toxic. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with questions and recommendations regarding skin and nail care. I’ve also come twice in the past with two of my best girlfriends who came in to Philadelphia for a reunion/girls weekend , and they too fell in love with Mi Cumbia! I’ll continue to come here as long as I’m in Philly

This is honestly one of the best waxing places in Philadelphia. Karina and Vanessa are absolutely amazing, and I had a fairly pain-free waxing experience, since they use small strips for waxing. I have a sensitive skin, and I have tried hard wax. But, this is better. You will not regret going here. The ambiance is cheery and jovial, and they are very clean. I highly recommend this place!

Review №75

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 Im 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. Im 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.

Review №76

Recently visited this salon, reviews were good and I’m new to the state so I figured why not. I came in a bit early and was greeted by a front desk girl (very friendly btw) so it made me feel at ease to wait for my tech (mindy I think her name was). I guess the appointment before me ran over time but it was okay luckily I didn’t have much to do that day, Once she was ready I was greeted and taking to the room to start my eyebrow wax/tint. Mindy was very friendly and attentive to me, but the reason I’m only giving 3 stars is because I do not believe she used an actual eyebrow tint on my eyebrows, she simply used a cheap eyebrow pencil to fill them in (I could of done that myself) in total I paid $36 for work that was mediocre at best. The only plus at this salon they are friendly but work isn’t the greatest.

Great staff, warm and friendly! Vanessa has been doing my eyebrows for almost a year now and she is trustworthy, kind, and professional. Im very happy with the service they provide. The salon is clean and as you as you walk in you feel relaxed and welcomed.

One of my favorite places to visit. Ive been a customer for years. I moved 2 years ago and when I come back in town I still go. They were the first salon to introduce me to organic and natural nail polish. Once you go there and dont smell the chemicals you normally smell in a nail salon Its hard to turn back. Plus, they offer an excellent service. It was hard finding something similar to Mi Cumbia in NJ/NY. Lots of salons offered pieces of what they do, but not the whole package. I finally found something that works for me in NJ, but like I said if I have time when I go back to Philly I still go to Mi Cumbia.

I go to Mi Cumbia for bikini waxing and I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are. I only began waxing because I was pregnant and could not groom myself. I have not stopped going since then, three years ago. Karina explains the entire process and the product she uses at your first appointment. She is gentle and skilled. You are in and out of there, and you can manage to relax while there - not easy when you are getting waxed in the nether regions. My skin is never irritated or bleeding. The place is nice, the people are even nicer and the service is top notch.

The attentive and super-friendly staff in this artfully decorated nail salon provided me with a lovely morning pampering. I walked into the cozy and bustling space and chose from an excellent selection of high-end nail polishes in a bright array of colors. My unique manicure experience (my hands soaked in natural ingredients like coconut milk, poured over them from a white pitcher into a wooden bowl) was accompanied by a delicious cup of coffee as upbeat Latin music played in the background. More expensive than your usual run of the mill manicure but highly recommended if you’re looking to treat yourself (or someone else) to a sumptuous experience that leaves you feeling like a queen.

I came here for a pedicure to pamper myself a bit. I understand it’s during this time so I didn’t expect anything over the top.I was a bit annoyed at how I had to push my appointment back by 15minutes but it was fine.The polish application was nice. I did burn my big toe a bit under the Uv gel lamp but my technician put some cream on it. I had a callus treatment added and a cream was put on my foot, than my foot soaked in the lukewarm water , and my technician worked on my heels with a rectangle emery board. My technician Gabriella was really nice.The experience was just “ok” and don’t think I would be back. Still looking for the best pedicure in Philly!

I went to Mi Cumbia for the first time on May 11th, 2018. I had a fantastic mani/pedi. They were very gracious to work me into their schedule because I waited until the last minute to make appointment. I really loved the natural treatments, the smell (non-toxic), and the ambiance of the salon.

This is a love letter to Mi Cumbria and to its fantastic owners. I had two days in Philadelphia, and the one thing I wanted to do for myself was to get a manicure and pedicure. I never manage to take the time for that in my day to day, which I know is my own issue. But in any case, my manicure and pedicure were perfect. The two women who worked on my nails were lovely, and they took their time, despite the fact that I came at the end of what Im sure was a long day. While my nails were drying, I sat with the owners, who couldnt have been lovelier. If Mi Cumbria was in my hometown in Massachusetts (and I wish it were!), I would make the time to go there--not just because of the excellent service they provide but because of the excellent people they are. Thank you for being so very, very lovely. You are the best.

The salon is a fresh breath of air amongst the same old over abundance of nail/waxing salons. The quaintness, the Latin diversity and the genuine familiarity & family it evokes sets it a part from others.I’ve been a fan for years and enjoy watching the decor changes, the client diversity and the simple sophistication this salon exudes.The natural nail products and innovation in bringing forth other natural products are Welcomed.Lastly, but the most important are the owners Karina & Justin who make this all work so effortlessly. And the best customer service of any business I’ve encountered in Philly by Zahara is unmatched.

You wont be able to go anywhere else once youve tried Tierra Mia! After trying a few places, Ive had all of my waxing done here on a regular basis for over a year now. Its the cleanest, least painful and best results (smoothest, longest-lasting and least traumatizing for my skin) Ive ever had from wax. Shes 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.

A friend and I stepped in for a foot massage and instantly felt transported to Columbia. Between the music, scents and aesthics, we felt like we left Philly the moment the door opened. The design is really memorable: skillful wood work, thoughtfully hung burlap and worn pages torn from a novel. The massages are worth every penny, as are the products used (and sold) in store. It wasnt until after I left that I realized how tight my feet were. Definitely part of my new foot care routine!

UPDATE 5/31/19 -Mi Cumbia is still hands down the best place for waxing in Philadelphia! I am always impressed by the service from the minute I walk in the door until the minute I leave. This time I saw Vanessa for the first time and she was absolutely lovely. I am always amazed at how quickly the waxing experience is but never in a rushed way. They are professionals at what they do!!! I will never go anywhere else for waxing in Philadelphia but Mi Cumbia!!!UPDATE 6/15/2018 -My review of the waxing services still stands, but I wanted to review the pedicure services... I went for my 2nd Sereno pedi in about 6 months and cannot rave enough about it. Kelly is meticulous when it came to the nail care and polish application. She gave an amazing leg and foot massage, and she checked in with me the whole time. If you are looking for a nice girls day/night out -this is the service and the place! They only have two pedicure chairs which makes the experience very intimate if it is you plus one. Mi Cumbia is 5* and more. I will recommend their services to anyone and everyone!!---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 Karinas 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!!!

Id been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally got around to booking an appointment 9/20/19. I got a consultation, Salinas mani & pedi. Upon entry, I was greeted warmly & received assistance selecting a color. My appointment started on time & I was offered tea and a weighted shoulder warmer (Trust me, take the shoulder warmer!). This place not only offers organic fume free services, but a luxurious experience. I enjoyed the massage with mango butter, it was so relaxing! Upon check out, the owner said that they guarantee the nails & its the truth! My polish lasted for a week & a half without chipping & I got a regular mani, no gel! Ill be back!

I will not go anywhere else for a wax or pedicure in the Philly area! Ever since my first experience, Ive 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 dont really notice any pain! The pedicures have been amazing!! Ive 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. Ive 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.

Mi Cumbia is the place I want to share with all my friends and family. Its 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 youre a first-timer with Brazilian waxing, I cant imagine anywhere else being as loving or nurturing throughout the process. Mi Cumbia is my favorite place to go, hands down, no holds barred.

Love going here, always feel welcomed. I’ve been going here for about 2 years now for waxing when I moved to the city and haven’t thought twice about going elsewhere. It’s neat to have seen the business do well and expand and grow, it really shows they care about their customers and the experience, as well as the authentic quality of products and reasonable prices, cozy and clean environment. I have yet to book a mani/pedi but everyone truly seems to enjoy it whenever I’m in there for waxing.

The staff at Mi Cumbia are always top notch, but this weekend they really went above and beyond. My mom and best friend who is expecting decided to come to Philly for a long weekend. I immediately thought of Mi Cumbia, as I really wanted to pamper my friend, and they are pre-natal friendly.Although very last minute, Zahara helped me book three appointments for manicures, pedicures, and foot massages. She was so sweet and helpful to keep us all together even thought he appointments had to be staggered. Once we arrived, the staff was so welcoming, and really made every effort to take extra special care of my mom and friend since they knew it was a special treat. Also of note, my mom is extra ticklish and normally cant stand pedicures, yet was so relaxed she fell asleep! They both absolutely raved and said it was the favorite of the many things we did this weekend!Thank you so much to the whole staff, you really made the weekend!

I came here last Tuesday and I thought this was going to be a normal nail salon. I was wrong. The experience I had here is one I will never forget. First of all, Mi Cumbia is a Colombian nail salon and I did not know that is a thing. The employees, who are like family to one another, give their customer’s the upmost care. Also, they used mango balls for my manicure and I found that to be so interesting. The mango balls got rolled around until they melted and was then used to massage on to my hands and arms. It felt so good.Also, I could not stop looking at the interior design of this place! There are so many fine details and everything is just gorgeous. Honestly, Mi Cumbia is a nail salon that builds relationships with their customers and even friendships. If you live in Philadelphia, I highly suggest that you come to Mi Cumbia.

I went to them while I was pregnant. I love that their nail salon doesnt smack you in the face with the smell of heavy chemicals when you walk in like other places. They use all natural products and the main nail polish brand, Zoya, that they use is formaldehyde free. I have only one gripe and it could have been my fault and that is that once when I went, the nail polish on my big toe got smudged. All in all, I have had great experiences when going there.

I decided to try this place, as recommended by a friend. I had a wonderful experience at this salon. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a big welcome, as well as no chemical smell! yay. Their location is very tiny, therefore appointments are necessary. Its so unique, chocolate to purchase, as well as their products they use on you, jewelry, coffee, etc. They even let me try a sample of their chocolate. I had work completed by Gabriela. She did an amazing job throughout. It was so relaxing, as I had the Columbiana (manicure, pedicure, foot massage), therefore small talk wasnt necessary as I was just focusing on relaxing. A lady came in and was strapped for time for her appointment, but they were able to complete the job in the time she asked. I was told my experience would be about 1 1/2 hours, but it was more like 2 hours because of dry time, to pay and set up the next appointment! I plan to come back in two weeks for my birthday. There were a variety of non-toxic polishes to choose from - water based, sparkle, etc. I didnt choose the water based because there are strict guidelines to follow when on it, and I didnt want to risk ruining the polish. Its been over 24 hours and no problems with the paint job. Also, my feet are so silky smooth, even after walking downtown for hours after the experience! It is a bit on the pricey side, therefore I dont think I can go every 2 weeks, but its def something every woman OR man (im bringing my boyfriend next visit), should experience!

Mi Cumbria is the prototype of what a nail salon should be. The service is attentive, comprehensive and quality. They treat every customer with love and respect, even high maintenance customers like my friends and I. They offer you neck warmers, open the libation of your choice (as long as it’s not red wine because of all the beautiful natural fibers) and their signature coffee.When you come in you are greeted with warmth, it’s a small and intimate setting and the service style reflects that. The respect of the employees sets the tone for the respect they have for their customers. You can feel comfortable as a new customer in this space regardless of your background, ethnicity, or lifestyle. So if you are looking for a new venue to get a pedicure or manicure, try them.They exercise impeccable hygiene and have sanitiary practices. The packages are worth the price to create a great shared experience for a loved one, a partner or a valued employee!

Best waxing experience of my life, no joke. Karina is warm, caring, professional and does a great job.

It is appointment only but I think that helps them manage their time. Overall I will return, you get what you pay for here.

I will NEVER EVER EVER go to another salon! From the moment I walk through the door, I have felt nothing but peace and love! Karina, Mimi, Blanca, Gabriella, Justin, Zahar and the rest of the lovely woman in Mi Cumbia have become like family!!! Karina, the owner is the best!!! Her hands are magical! I have extra super sensitive skin and have had terrifying experiences in the past from other places. My face has been burnt from waxing and I have had major break outs from regular waxes. But the wax used in Mi Cumbia has saved my life! Honesty, I have been searching for an Oasis for many years and can not tell you how happy and blessed I feel to have found it! Its amazing how welcomed every single woman and Justin (Karinas wonderful hubby / owner) makes me feel during every visit!! I wouldnt miss my biweekly appointment for anything. All products sold here are natural and organic. The Lemongrass Sugar scrub is to die for!!!! Im totally obsessed and ALWAYS have a big jar in the shower. After 12 long hours of being an RN, Im so exhausted, sore, tense, overwhelmed and frustrated. But as soon as I use this healing scrub and work it into my feet all the way up to my face, I feel refreshed and extraordinarily much better! Its absolutely amazing!!! Truly its like having a spa in your bathroom. And believe it or not its lemon so men also will love using it. My coworkers husband is so in love with this scrub! Lol!!! I give these scrubs out as gifts and they are ALWAYS a hit!!! The coconut lotion and everyother product sold here are just spectacular! Please come in and enjoy a delicious cup of Columbian coffee while you sit back and melt into your chair as you get the best manicure and pedicure of your life! And remember all their products are so gentle and toxic free, so my daughter just loves coming here too!!! It makes me feel fantastic knowing she is both safe and happy at Mi Cumbia!What else could be better than an environment that is safe enough for pregnant women and children??????None other, because Mi Cumbia is the best!!!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and the pedicure room. I like that they have natural products. My biggest issue is that I now have painful cuticles on one of my thumbs and a big toe. It has been painful for a couple of days now and I did not notice it right away. On top of that, my cuticles for my hands were not soaked before pushing and scraping. The pedicure and manicure look great. I am just now concerned about treating my cuticles and preventing an infection.

Very, very friendly and hospitable staff! Great attention to detail and gentle with my manicure! The natural cocunut scrub/oil is exactly what I wish all salons would use, i have sensitive skin and it felt wonderful! I wish they were in my city so I could be a regular!

A delightful warm place for a special treat for your body and soul. I come here for manicure and foot massage most of the time (and buy gorgeous necklaces!), and the reception is always so friendly. Blanca helped me last time, and her touch is just delicious.

Had a wonderful mani/pedi the other day at Tierra Mia. 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. Im looking forward to being a regular customer and bringing my friends in for pampering when they come visit.

This is the best nail salon in the city. Worth every penny. The pedicures are intimate and relaxing. I will keep coming back here because the staff is friendly and professional the salon is clean and their services are awesome. The columbian coffee and chocolates are amazing as well!

We had a wonderful experience at Mi Cumbia...with a mani pedi for my niece and an hour long, luxurious pedicure for me. We easily booked reservations by text and were greeted by name as we arrived for our appointment. Thanks for a wonderful experience....would definitely come again!

I am a firm believer in self-care...Mi Cumbia is part of my delightful, monthly regimen.I was seeking a serene place with a skilled individual and discovered Karina. For me, she is the BEST when it comes to waxing. The staff is friendly, highly professional, plus, they offer great services from manicure/pedicures to soy waxing. They also have gift items, jewelry, scrubs, chocolates and more! Mi Cumbia is one of my primary sanctuaries!

This is a hidden gem and the friendliest place you will find in Philadelphia! They offer the same services youd find at most salons, they just do it better here. Youll be hard pressed to find better service, friendlier people and better coffee anywhere else in the city. Definitely make an appt. though, its a small shop and theyre always busy.

My experience at Mi Cumbia has been consistent the 3 times I have received a pedicure. Each time I am welcomed by the team there and Marjorie/Tia both were so detailed and took time to help me pick my colors and talk to me about the health of my nails. I had time to figure out what I wanted and if I didnt know they helped me. As a customer who searches for great services, I know you will gain my loyalty if you: 1. surprise me often 2. make a difference in my life 3. Give me more than I paid for, 4. show me you appreciate me and each time Mi Cumbia has done this.Works for me.

I look forward to my waxing appointments with Karina. She is warm, sensitive, highly professional, talks you through the process and may I add, is for me pretty painless. Mi Cumbia is also a cultural oasis with Justin, Karina and their engaging team, you wont be disappointed spending quality time in the wonderful place. I cant wait for my pedi/mani, no fumes, and organic products! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE going to Mia Cumbia!!!Dyana Williams

This is by far the best spot I have found in Philly for spa services. The atmosphere, the services, and the lovely team of professionals make it well worth the splurge. I especially appreciate that all of products are both good for you and the earth. I love, love, love, Mi Cumbia.

I’ve been a loyal customer for years. They were the first salon that I heard of that prioritized non -toxic ingredients in their products. They treat you like family and I always walk out of there feeling energized. Highly, highly recommend.

I had a coconut pedi and mango butter mani on 7/21/18. My services were ok. I did feel as if everything was a bit rushed. I received the shellac polish for my mani. Unfortunately, it is already chipping. However, I was very appreciative of the neck warmer given to me by my manicurist. Nonetheless, Kayla and Sahra (probably misspelled) are amazing at what they do. Kayla is very attentive, warm, and personable. Sahra was a sweetheart over the phone so I knew it would be equally matched in person. Overall, I would be willing to give it one more try just to be certain that it wasnt just bad timing for my first visit.

I have been going to Mi Cumbia for the last two years -- have never left in poor spirits: dark chocolate tasting menus, colombian coffee-teas-lemonade in the summer!, the decor is fantasticly authentic--Mi Cumbia truly invites you into a totally new world of spa care. I see Karina for waxing, Marjorie for my bi weekly manicure, they are thorough, trend conscious, I always feel Ive been treated to the utmost in comfortable, personalized colombian care. Anything involving coconut on the menu is a MUST GET.Thank you to the entire Mi Cumbia family!

Hands down the best nail spot in the city. From the moment you walk in, everyone is so incredibly kind and warm. The manicures are heavenly (the salinas scrub is my favorite).If you are two or more people, you can book the back room for privacy. And it’s BYOB!

Sahar and her colleagues treated my mother with much care! My mother had a few special requests and Mi Cumbia honored them. Sahar called me after my mothers appointment to reassure me that she was well taken care of before I took my flight out of town. My mother and I will be a repeat customer!

I love this spa. The space, the people, the history and the love are also 5 star. I always feel like Im home with sisters and aunites that want nothing but the best for me. LOL, I know it sounds cheesy, but you make your family however/wherever you can.This is the only place I go to get waxed (the laughs are in more abundance than pain is) , best pedi, and they make an AMAZING sugar scrub.I wont lie, its a little out of my price range, BUT - the care and service is worth more than what you would save by going to any ol nail salon.Go there - you will love it.

I had scheduled to have 3 mani/pedis the day before our wedding at Mi Cumbia. The appointment was booked and prepaid and was all set for 3:30pm. At 9:45am that day, I received a text that due to unforeseen circumstances we had to reschedule. I understand that things happen, but for a $200 mani/pedi I would expect backup plans to be in place if anything happens. I was appalled that we had such little notice and for our big day, we were left scrambling to find another salon. We did receive a full refund and I am sure the service is great, but if you are on a tight deadline keep a backup plan in mind.
