Terrible customer service 8/11/2009

The woman doing my pedicure (Mariana I think was her name) started late and finished early, kept on glancing at her mobile phone and texting, and left me for AGES (with feet in tub, then wrapped in the hot towels) after running off with mobile phone in hand beginning texting. She also did all the cleaning of the tub while I was sitting there, in the middle of my pedicure. Every stage of the pedicure was awfully rushed, with the result that the final job looks pretty bad - lots of places where the polish has gone awry (and been left on my skin). It's extraordinary to pay 56 dollars before tip for such terrible service. more

Not worth it for a pedicure or manicure 8/7/2009

I went for a manicure and pedicure and paid $88 not including tip. The service was the worse than I would get at other places for a quarter of the price. The only perk was that they brough me some water while I was getting my pedicure. The woman who did my nails was talking on the phone and kept getting up to talk to other people. She left me after my manicure and said she would be back to dry my nails and never brought me a dryer. Then she just told me to leave without drying them. They didn't even ask me to pay before my polish was on as most place do, so I had to fumble through my purse with wet nails. Furthermore, the massage chair I was in for my pedicure was broken and the manicure only lasted 2 days before it started chipping. Pros: none Cons: cost more

Jenny - The BEST Waxing & Facials at Mina's 4/28/2009

Jenny makes me feel VERY comfortable during my visits. She is meticulous and very clean with her work and instruments. She has a calming effect on people and is extremely professional and thorough with her work. She has made my waxing experiences very pleasant and painless. She has a charming personality takes her time to make sure everything is done to perfection. Best waxing ever and highly recommended. Pros: Clean, Professional, Meticulous, Charming, Diligent more

Giving up on Mina's, too. 4/10/2009

If you are planning on trying to let your hair grow, like me, then don't go to Mina's. This is the second time that I went in for just a "trim" and explained to the stylist that I was trying to grow my hair long and she cut it...short...again. A friend of mine went to Mina's about 2 years ago for a trim as well and they cut off 4-5 inches of her hair. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt but will do so no longer. I heard Sling Blades in Durham and D.B. Sutton in Chapel Hill are pretty good. I'm highly disappointed in Mina's. Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

Lacking Customer Service 3/21/2009

I have gone to this salon for a few years. Always been generally happy with the cuts, color is fine (not earth-shattering), but I have never appreciated the customer service. The people I encounter (from the desk to the chair) are not particularly nice and treat me as though it is MY honor to be there and pay them. I pay a great deal of money for cuts, highlights and babysitting while I am there. After a recent encounter, I am calling it quits and finding another place. more

Finally giving up on Mina's 3/5/2009

I've been going to Mina's for haircuts, highlights, etc. for a couple of years now. The hospitality and service has diminished with every visit. The receptionists have taken wrong types of appointments I've requested (asking for a cut and being written in for a style), taken the wrong time, and called me to leave a message changing the day of my appt. w/o speaking to me first. Last week I officially got the worst haircut I've had in years, after waiting in the lobby for 25 minutes past my appointment time. The stylist seemed rushed and uninterested in what I wanted. I wasn't even given a robe when my hair was washed. Water dripping all over me! The prices are way too high for the low level of service and now inadequate haircut. Cons: service, staff, value more

Molly is fantastic for eyebrows at Mina's Studio!! 3/1/2009

I am a student and could never afford a haircut at Mina's, but am willing to pay a little extra for my eyebrows. I have thick, bushy eyebrows and Molly ALWAYS gets them right. She is just wonderful! I always get compliments from people after she does them-she never overplucks them, just makes them look perfect. And she is soo fun and easy to talk to! Pros: null Cons: null more

Angela is amazing at brows 12/11/2008

I am extremely picky about my eyebrows. I recently moved from Los Angeles and have not had my eyebrows waxed since moving here for fear of my brows being left a thin, asymmetrical mess. I used to go to Jasmine at Anastasia's in LA and I was sure that no one could do as well as Jasmine...until today. Today, I had my first appointment with Angela at Mina's and she is AMAZING! I strongly recommend her. She trimmed and waxed, and left my brows perfectly symmetrical and beautifully shaped!! Pros: professional, clean, talented stylists Cons: none more

Overpriced, poor service and bad attitudes 12/1/2008

I tried Mina's 3 times in the hope that I would enjoy my experience a bit better the next time. In each case, the reception at the front was less than welcoming and almost rude. I've been in customer service for over 10 years and I couldn't believe that attitude was acceptable to the management. The cut and style I received cost $56 and I walked out with my hair still wet underneath despite a request to dry it thoroughly. The cut was too layered in the front and requires growing out before I can have it fixed. It was not a good purchase. I did have nails done another time and the tech was very friendly and did a nice job. However, I would not recommend this place because the front reception is less than desireable and the hairstyling is not worth the price. Pros: location Cons: ambiance less than desireable, limited parking, bad service more

I will not return to this salon 11/11/2008

I visited and indicated to the stylist that it'd been ages since my last cut and wanted a new style, she trimmed my bangs and charged me $56 dollars without tip, with tip it was over $60. I am two weeks out from the visit and I have already picked a new place to try, 5th place within one year. Does no one in the triangle know style? Word of advice it doesn't take charging customers ridiculous rates to make your business great and I think alot of people automatically assume that if the salon is charging high it is because they perform well and this is just not the case. Keep in mind that my trim took less than $20 mins, wouldn't you like to make $56 every quarter hour? I would too. more

Big fan of Mina's 11/4/2008

I've been going to Mina's for over 2 years now and have yet to be disappointed. Tsafi is one of the best hairdressers I've ever had. Though I had doubts about going so short, she really knew what would look best on me! I enjoy the visits and chatting, and they're always professional and 99% on time. Will continue to go as long as I live in the area! more

Angela and Holden were great!!! 8/25/2008

I have had many brazilian waxes in large and small cities and Angela is one of the best estheticians I've had. She is the most thorough, is very quick, and made me feel comfortable. Angela uses a hard wax which makes the hair come off fast and gets even stubborn little hairs. She got everything! Highly recommended. Pros: Very thorough facial and brazilian wax and great highlights and cut. Cons: Would be great if they would offer more perks for the money I'm spending...like getting a drink FOR me and offering a snack since I was there for 4 over hours. more

Mina's is Fantastic! 7/9/2008

I just had my first haircut with Alejandra, and she was WONDERFUL! I moved to the area 2 years ago and have been searching for someone who can cut my hair right (I have very fine, but thick cork screw curls). I've actually been flying back home to get a cut. I've gone a year without a cut, as I am very picky with who cuts my hair. I had my last stylist for 10 years. Pros: Great stylist Cons: It's in Chapel Hill! more
