I am the type of person who will get my nails done terribly, wont say a word and never go back.. but I have seen Nicole 3 times now and she is amazing! She takes her time and really makes sure everything is neat and perfect which I love! I can truly say I leave more than happy every time and I will continue to come back :)
Absolutely wonderful experience, very clean. I made an appointment in advance for a gel powder manicure ($45). It came out great! They had many nice colors to choose from. My nail tech was so thorough with each step. She did 3 coats of the gel powder, shaped them up nicely to perfection a few times and went over it with top coat 3 times. Love the color and shine! She also washed her hands and gave me a brief back massage (something we've all been missing). As for COVID precautions- best experience I've had at a nail salon within the past few months. They check your temperature and give you sanitizer upon entering. The nail techs and staff are all wear masks, customers are required to wear them as well. There are shields between you and the techs in both the mani and pedi sections. My tech washed her hands before starting my nails and again before the massage. I asked to wash my hands after my nails were dry too. Will definitely be back!
I had my nails done on April 25th for my daughter's wedding after not having them done in years. I was recommended to Vivi by my friend. Two weeks later, still not a chip and still super shiny. A beautiful job and wonderful spa experience. I will definitely be a return customer.
Absolutely awful, I was going here for so long and putting up with crooked nails, being gaslit when I mentioned it and told my nail beds were "crooked" but now at my new place I am so happy. They charged me over $100 for a regular mani-pedi and had said I asked for something else when I had been going for years and it smudged and looked like a child did it and I insisted they look at what I got, I was so anxious I paid and left and would never ever go back again. Sad, they had a good parking lot in front and give good massages but not worth an expensive bad manicure.
Had the worst experience right before my trip. Made gel and it came off the next day. Tried to come back to fix three nails multiple times but reception kept saying that they are too busy. Come tomorrow, and tomorrow they were super busy again. I tried to come three times, but ones they heard that I have 3 nails to fix they immediately became busy. So I had to buy the same color polish and "fix" it somehow myself. And they charged me more cause it wasn't powder gel. So meaning, I had to pay more for the old gel or the bad job. I don't know which one is the reason of the gel falling apart. I don't know why everyone goes to this place. Probably cause there is no more better option in massapequa.
Best nail salon ever! I go here all the time, literally. My nail girl is Vivi but they're all very nice and talented! All of these nails were done here. The cleanest, nicest and best nail salon I've ever been to!!!
I've been going here since it opened. I've tried other salons in the area but the quality here is really the best. They can do any design you want. I've had some incredible nail art done here. I recently moved to Long Beach and have tried salons in the area but nothing compares, so I drive a half-hour to I Memory to get my nails done once a month. I recently went to get my nails done and they are closed due to construction... I've tried two other places since then and have been so disappointed. We miss you! Come back soon. _____ After reading some of these reviews, I wanted to add - Check your privilege! The fact that people commented they're upset that the nail techs speak in a different language, in the "melting pot" of the US, is bewildering (and racist*). Secondly, these women/men work for below minimum wage because they earn tips. So that's $5/hr plus the chump change you throw them after they've spent an hour scrubbing calluses off your feet. Show some decency. Tip 20%+ or don't come! People said they didn't tip because they're unhappy with the paint job... you're tacky!
So happy iMemory is back open. I tried no less than 5 other local nail salons while they were remodeling and none of them could even compare to the service, quality and attention to detail that you receive at iMemory. The new salon is gorgeous. Very light, bright and modern. They have made nice investments into the design and products. They bought 12 brand new pedicure chairs and each manicure station has a plexiglass partition between you and your nail tech PLUS they have little cubby holes for the UV lights underneath each manicure station. So no more having to swap hands around or find space to put the UV light on the table. They really do make you feel like family here and definitely give you extra special treatment and care and want to make sure you are 100% satisfied. Yuki and her sister celine are so sweet as are the staff. Jason is my go-to for my nails. He always asks how I'm doing and how my kids are. Amazing massage and attention to detail and nail shape. They are also running a special now on the spa pedicures where if you also get a gel mani you receive either a free 10 or 15 min back massage. This is in addition to the usual free regular manicure.
imemory is back open. I try no less then 6 other local nail salons while they were remodelingand none of them could even compare to the service. Imemory did the best nail and nail art, try the Spa pedicure it very relaxes.
I recently started going to I memory (first time 3 weeks ago with the flower nails). I can't say it enough, of all the nail salons on Long Island, this is the cleanest & most creative one I've ever been too. I've never gotten so many compliments on my nails before. I did the powder gel as a base and color gel for the designs. The first time I went my nails lasted a full 3 weeks. I've exclusively been seeing Vivi for my nails. Vivi is very thorough and makes sure everything from the shape to the design & even the cuticles are completely symmetrical. The amount of work Vivi puts in both times I've seen her is sooooo appreciated. The services do not feel rushed and you can tell she loves what she does. I've referred a few people to her since my first visit and cannot wait to keep coming back! Thank you Vivi ! You are the best!!!
Very expensive!!!!!! Which is why I gave them 3 stars. To get a callus remover included in a pedicure it's $58. The pedicure was absolutely nothing special. Otherwise, it's $10 added for callus remover. They charge you $1 if you include tip on a credit card (I never carry cash), & I've never had that extra fee at any other nail salon. their powder gel is $45. The picture included is an ombré, so it was a little more. I will no longer get a pedicure there if I go for my nails.. which is the only reason why I will go back. My nails come out the most beautiful here! I guess I will just bring a book and talk with my friend while we soak our nails instead of getting the pedicure before a new powder gel fill in. They say they increased prices because their product prices have gone up, but no other nail salon charges this much.... their saving grace is they really do beautiful nails. I've also had better covid precautions at other salons. There's no dividers when your getting a manicure or pedicure. Just a flimsy (now bottoms are rolling up from being old I assume) plastic covering infront of you when you're getting a pedicure. Nothing between you and other customers. I felt more vulnerable here compared to other salons.

The worst manicure and pedicure I have ever gotten. The nail tech rushed and did the pedi in less than 15 minutes. The manicure looks like a child did my nails. My cuticules are all messy. On top of that, all of the nail polishes at the salon are old! Every nail polish I picked up was almost empty. The color I chose, the nail tech had to keep adding polish thinner to. They have the nerve to charge $55 for a basic manicure and pedicure, especially one that was done so quickly and looks horrible. If you are going to charge premium prices, give premium services. I would never return to this salon. read more

I went for a mani-pedi with my mom and sister and I was so happy with my results. I've been to the UES location and I just HAD to visit the Massapequa location and it was wonderful. Once again, they fulfilled my expectations and were able to recreate my inspiration pic! read more

First time customer, tried it right after their grand opening. Place is beautiful and clean. They took their time and it came out perfect. It is a bit on the expensive side but immaculate work. read more
I had a great experience at this nail salon! I didn't have an appointment, so I was expecting to have to wait a while, but they were extremely friendly and professional and were able to take me very soon. The nail tech was very gentle with my nails and paid very close attention to detail for a perfect dip powder manicure. My favorite part about this salon was that I was looking for a specific color and I didn't see it, so she actually mixed two colors together for me to create it! Not as inexpensive as other places in the area, but I really think you get what you pay for here, will definitely be returning! read more

I Memory was easily the top nail spa in Massapequa. Over the course of the last 6 months, it has completely went downhill. They overbook, make you wait, cut corners, have gotten extremely cheap, and the overall manicure does not come out well. I got a pedicure last week and the woman doing them didn't exfoliate my legs or use the callus remover scrubber. I asked her why she didn't do those steps and she stated "we are busy, I don't have time" I was in shocked when she stated that. But since I loved the place so much, I came back the following week. I got Uv builder gel on my nails. They came out absolutely horrible and she did them so fast. She did not put enough of the builder on my nails so the whole perimeter of my nails was not filled in. See the photo below. It looks like I had a few days pass and the nail started to grow, but in reality she didn't put enough builder near the cuticle. Lastly, she put TWO TINY drops of cuticle gel on TWO nails and used that for the whole hand. They use to pour the cuticle gel on it, making sure every nail got covered. So sad and so disappointed. I will never go back along with many others. read more

I signed up for Yelp just to write this review. I've been getting fill-ins with gel polish for about 2 years now at different places. My regular salon didn't have an appointment so I tried I Memory because of the positive reviews. I went on a Saturday and had to go back twice within a week because the OPI gel polish (which I've used at other places with no problems) was bubbling off the nails. It bubbled so bad it came off all in one piece. This all happened within a week. I've never had this issue before, was blamed for it happening, and was never offered a refund. Not to mention they charge more then other salons. Please don't go there... and if you do I wish you better luck. -In response: My original appointment was on Saturday 5/12 at 10am and I saw John, when bubbling occurred I came back to have it fixed on Wednesday at 10am and saw John again. Bubbling happened again Thursday night, I called Friday morning and stated I could be there by after work by 530pm. When I arrived at 530pm I had to wait approximately 20mins and a women fixed my nails (no name tag). By Sunday they were bubbling again. I don't feel this is a dry time issue and I will not be returning. If you'd like to rectify the situation you can send me a check for the $50 I paid (I can provide credit statement if needed) or you can pay $50 gift card at my home salon in Babylon where I have an appointment on Saturday morning 5/26. read more

Just moved to Massapequa Park and was looking for a new nail salon. Read all the reviews for places in the area and decided to try I Memory Nail Spa and i am in LOVE! They just reopened after a remodel and it is gorgeous! Clean and the staff is SO nice! I had Selina for my UV Gel Fill in and she was AMAZING! This is the best my nails have ever looked. She paid so much attention to detail to make sure my nails looked perfect, and i think they do. Hannah did my Spa pedicure and again, amazing! You can tell they all care about the outcome and it really shows. Thank you!! read more

I was on the hunt for a new nail salon after my original spot was taken under new management post COVID-19 closure and I came across l Memory Nails. I had a wonderful experience here. They were efficient, friendly and professional. My nails came out beautifully. The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because it is expensive. But if u want good quality it's worth the price. read more

It was my first time coming to this salon. I was able to make a same day appt and when I showed up 30 minutes early, they still saw me right away. I came in with an inspo pic and they did an amazing job. Very friendly service. Highly recommend! read more
Whelp after about three days, whatever gel they used to keep the gold designs affixed to my nails, started to turn the nail polish yellow! The gel polish is chipping and looks dull at this point and it's only been about a week and a half. Very disappointing read more

They are definitely more on the expensive side but my nails look amazing. typically my gel powder will start to chip or break/crack or peel off after 2 weeks. Most recently a manicure lasted 4 weeks before the polish started lifting (they were really grown out by then). They did my nails for our wedding along with a manicure for my now husband (!) , my mom and my little sister (bridesmaid). I got a lot of compliments and still continue to do so.

They did a pretty nice job but I shocked to see they charged me $5 extra for a coffin shape when they really just filed the top and used the shape I already had from a previous almond. They also did not tell me ahead of time that there was an extra fee so my gel powder cost $50 instead of $45 without tip. read more

The nails came out very nice. I got the iridescent powder on OPIs "bubble bath" which is a sheer pink colour; but I do have some complaints. When I called I had asked for the price for an acrylic full set. They said $50. I usually pay $36 for a set at my regular nail salon so I didn't mind a few extra bucks. The nail tech wasn't interested in talking to me directly and every thing I asked for she called the lady at the reception desk over. The lady was crass and first said that I had to pay an extra $5 for longer nails, and they negotiated with me back and forth for 10 minutes about cutting the tips down to 1/2 the size because it was "more convenient for the nail tech". but it baffled me because I thought the point of doing tips and acrylic sets was to have length in the nails (???) then she seemed to tell me that the colour I chose was going to cost an extra $15. At that point I had been there for 20 minutes and just wanted my nails done so I could go. The tech did the set and it took 45 minutes to get the set down and sand it down. Then she complained to me that she had another client and that she had to finish me quickly. I knew she then was going to rush to do the polish. She did. I even had 3 nails bleed because she sanded my nail bed instead of the nail with the dremel. When I went to pay apparently the cost went from $65 to $89 which I do not understand. They have a 10% off deal Mon-Wed which brought it to $73 but for a simple set of acrylics I can find better deals.. the quality was just not as I expected for the price I paid. read more
Not bad, but didn't feel taken care of. My friend found this place on yelp and we thought we'd give it a shot. The place is very well kept and clean, and the selection of nail polishes is very large. I got a regular pedicure, no special treatment. I felt like the man who worked on me went through the motions and did not care about what he was doing. He was talking to the employee next to him, and stopped several items during mine to talk to her as I sat there. My pedicure cost $20, but I do not think it was worth it. read more
