Gave them a try again. Absolutely HORRIBLE! I took my daughter here for a full set - almond shape. I have never met someone as nasty as Lam. My 11 year old told her to please stop filing them, as they were too short. Lam was so nasty, raising her voice to my daughter. What's the point of getting tips to file them all the way down???? She said my daughter told her to cut them shorter.... Ok, but then Lam kept filing and filling so my daughter asked her to please stop. Lam then wants to get nasty with me??? Why are we yelling at a paying customer?? I'm paying $75+ dollars for nails and they should be the way we want them. So I told her to stop, I finished getting my nails done. My daughter's nails have one layer of acrylic - and they charged us $30! Unbelievable. I'll stick with Pacfe nails in Centereach!

I had one of the worst experiences when it comes to my nails at the salon. (For reference I used to frequent this nail salon last year, when there was a male technician that worked on my nails.) I went early on a Sunday and I was the only one in the salon at the time, so I expected slow and steady work, since I know designs are typically difficult to do on small nails. My technician was practically silent the entire time, and when she first finished the design , the hearts looked worse than they did in the photos I provided, they were sloppy and and uneven and looked more like smudges. I said this to her and she went back to fix them, but you can tell it doesn't look much better. Not only did she ignore my request of filing down the nails. There are was still acrylic dust and gunk left under my nails and I was doing this all while being swarmed by flies. overall, I felt very unwelcomed. Many of the technicians were sitting on the pedicure chairs, barefoot, whispering, and laughing while looking at me. When she finally finished. I got up to wash my hands, by the time I got back though they had already seated another client in my chair while my purse and phone were STILL on the table. The typical price of acrylics is $40 but they up charged me $15 dollars for the horrible design and five more dollars for gel that I didn't ask for. So in total I walked out paying $60. My boyfriend, being extremely upset at the quality of my nails for the price that we paid, had me go back and request that they redo my nails. The manager of the salon (I assume) took me to the back and redid my nails. She was actually quite nice and respectful throughout the whole process, but that didn't mean that the workers weren't coming up to us and gossiping with her the entire time over me. Overall I'm a very nonconfrontational person and very rarely do I ever tell workers that I am dissatisfied with something I received, because I really don't like to complain. But when you're working minimum wage and decide to treat yourself but end up $60 deep in a bad manicure, you be pretty upset too.

Went here to get a pedicure and gel manicure. Pedicure was great until it was time to get my nails done. I've been growing out my nails for 2 weeks to have them look good for when i get them done, I tell the women doing them that I am trying to grow them out and to please not take off the length but she can shape them and make them look clean. She started filing my nails and after she put the gel polish on I put my hand in front of the fan and took a look at my nails. My jaw dropped, my nails were gone. So short and crooked I almost started crying in the salon.I calm myself down and say to myself to trust the process and maybe in the end it won't look that bad. When she's done putting on the rest of the gel she started filing more to the point where I felt her filing the skin of my nail, it was that short. I was going to say something but I thought she's probably just fixing how crooked it is. When she was done with my nails she basically threw my hands and said "Done. go pay" as i'm washing my hands my fingers are literally burning they were so short. I would've said something to her but what was there to do when she ruined all my hard work of growing my nails out for the last 2 weeks. I got in my car and was crying so bad because how can someone think this is good work? I got home and my boyfriend was telling me he's going to go down there and demand a refund because they were so bad and not what i asked for. Unfortunately I was their last client and they closed at 8 and I work a full time job and didn't have time to go back. My mom said she would go tomorrow and show them the pictures and tell them the issue. The next day she goes in there and explains to the women behind the desk how unhappy I am with my nails while showing her the pictures I took, and apparently the women who did them ran over to them and started telling her how my nails were never long and how she tried to convince me to get tips because of how short they were. 1. The women never said that 2. I said to the nail lady that I am growing them out and don't want length taken off. My mom explains that I am very unhappy and in a lot of pain due to her over filing them. The lady behind the desk says that the next day after getting nails done that it is suppose to hurt? and adds that one time she got her nails done and they hurt so bad the next day she ended up with a fever and that the pain should be gone by tomorrow. That is not normal. While my moms asking for a refund the women says how they're going to end up growing long and healthier because of the dip gel I got. That's not the point, I asked her to not shorten them and that's what she did. If i wanted to ruin my nails i would've gotten acrylics. The lady that did my nails continued to chime in and says that she has me on camera with my nail length and asked if we wanted to see the camera footage and my mom said twice that she wants to see the footage to show that they were never short. The women looked shocked and the women behind the counter shooed her away and was just saying how they'll grow to a good length strong and healthy and offered a $10 gift card. $10 is nothing there when they charge $20 to even just take off the color on your nails. I am very unsatisfied and will not be returning.

I have been going to Mimi's since she opened. Even after going away to school, any time I would come home for a weekend or break, I would make it a point to go get my nails and eyebrows done here. The employees always treat me well, very sweet, and provide high quality services. I recommend to many of my friends- some will drive 20 mins to go to Mimi's. If you tell them exactly what you want, then you will leave satisfied and want to come back

I just got my nails done here. This was the second chance I gave them and I will not be going back. As many other reviews say, the staff aren't the friendliest and my service was rushed meanwhile there were only 3 other people there being serviced. My nail lady didn't speak to me ONCE unless it was to ask me what color I wanted or if the shape was ok or to upsell me. The one worker had her bare feet up on the chairs, laughing and whispering every time my nail tech tried up selling me and I would say no. Then she picked up a phone call towards the end of my service for a few minutes. No hand massage no cuticle oil no back massage. The services are half assed and then they get aggravated if you pay with your credit card and charge you an extra 3% for doing so.

My vacation nails done yesterday by Mimi!

Love mimis! She always accomplishes my nail designs! Everyone is very nice! The salon is always clean as well!

Went in for a acrylic soak off.... I asked them 3 times to soak them as I didn't want my real nails cut. They proceeded to keep cutting them with a cuticle cutter and wedging a nail tip in between the acrylic and my really nails. I was in so much pain I got up and left. My nails r bent back the wrong way and cracked everywhere. They really need to work on listening and customer service I shouldn't have to repeat myself 3 times and still not get what I asked for. Will definitely not be going back.

The staff is very sweet. Clean ((not spotless). And good hours. Open till 8pm on Sat which is helpful for working moms.

I've been going to this nail salon since middle school and I'm 21 now. They never disappoint and amaze me every time I come here, they shape your nails so perfectly especially the coffin shape which is my favorite. When she was done with my nails I was blown away by how nice they looked and the staff is so sweet all the time. I 1000% recommend you to come here, I promise they won't disappoint!!

I have been going to Mimi since I was 17 (now 34). She started at LI PRO then opened this business as her own. Her attention to detail and customer service is unmatched. You can always walk in and I've never had to wait longer then 10minutes , there are always plenty of people and chairs to assist you. They do the absolute best spa pedicures and nails, they will accommodate any style/design you want. Just show a picture and they will do their best to make sure you walk out of there 100% satisfied. I will never go to another nail salon, you just do not get treated the same anywhere else. Mimi really cares for her customers and you always feel welcome walking through her doors. The spa is aesthetically beautiful, such a nice design and CLEAN! This place is a true LI GEM!

Of course yellow is a light color so most people would apply more than two rushed coats. But the filing was the worst part.

I've been coming to Hand and Stone in Stony Brook for 3 years now and have always been blown away…read morewith the service I've received! Every single person here is amazing. Just from the greeting you receive when you walk through the door, you know that you are in excellent hands. I've seen at least 6 Estheticians and each one has been so knowledgeable and so sweet! They really work with you to achieve your skincare goals and make recommendations based on what you need, not what needs to sell. As someone who has studied esthetics, I've always been extremely happy with every product they've recommended to me. They're always up to date with the newest products and educate clients on the ingredients and what it will do for your skin. I've been to a bunch of different spas and no matter what, I've never felt as comfortable as I do at Hand and Stone. It feels like home! I've also received a handful of massages and leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated every single time. Finally, I have to say that Hannah is the best esthetician I have ever encountered. She is so sweet, so funny, and so good at what she does! You can tell that Hannah truly cares about her clients and helping them achieve their goals. I've never met anyone that loves being an esthetician as much as Hannah! Come to Hand and Stone in Stony Brook - you won't regret it!!!

Service is horrible. I will never get a gift card for this establishment ever again. I spent…read moregood money for a gift card only to find out that you can't schedule a massage until a month out and when you try to call you can't get an appointment. Never ever again.

This place is a hidden treasure! I happened to be driving along 25A in St. James the other day,…read moreand, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a new foot spa that I hadn't noticed before. Being a fan of Asian body work, the next day I decided to check it out. I was welcomed at the door by Vicky who led me back to one of the massage rooms. I was impressed by the freshness of the décor and overall cleanliness of the place. I decide to go for one hour, but within the first 15 minutes I was in such bliss that I asked to extend to 90 minutes. Vicky was extremely sensitive to the trouble spots in my body. Se was gentle where needed and used firmer pressure when needed, always asking me for feedback on my comfort level. For the rest of the massage I pretty much forgot where I was and hated to come back to earth at the end. normally I get a massage every two weeks or so, but a couple of days later I was in the neighborhood with some extra time on my hands and decided to stop in again. This time I was greeted by Lili. Once again, what started as a one hour massage was extended to 90 minutes, and once again I was in heaven. Lili also was very sensitive to my body's needs. I suffer form chronic pain due to osteo-arthritis, and I find massage therapy very healing when done correctly. Both Vicky and Lili are obviously extremely experienced and highly professional and both have a fabulous massage technique. Prices are extremely reasonable at $50 per hour. As is the custom with Most Asian spas, a tip of $15 to $20 per hour is expected, but when you compare these prices to many western-style massage studios that charge $90 to $120 an hour - plus gratuities - you cant beat it. I'll be back again and again.
