157 Nail Spa — Attraction in Town of Hempstead

I really don't like to leave negative reviews but this experience was extremely upsetting. I've been going here since I moved to the area, around 2 years. I've never had an issue before other than being charged a lot of money for designs without being told beforehand. I booked my appointment 2 months early for my wedding along with my mother and my bridesmaids, We easily spent about $1,000 in the 3 hours we were there. I left loving my nails and they were exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I didn't care that it cost me $130. The next day, on my wedding day, I woke up and noticed that my nails were all yellow. The hair and makeup people were there at 8am so I didn't have time to go back. The only option I had was to file them and they were awful so I had to use my neices glitter polish to cover up. My nails were ruined and not what I wanted to see in my pictures. I tried to soak in polish remover but the stones were still yellow. So I went back. No apologies or anything. I was asked 3 times by 3 different people if I went to the BEACH! I sat down and had my nails fixed. I asked for chrome because I'm about to go on my honeymoon and didn't want my nails plain white. I spent all that money to have the stones put on and they were ruined overnight. I went to leave and was charged $30 for the chrome. Even though the girls doing nails said it was because a different top coat was used - which to me says - it was not my fault! - there was no remorse by the girl in the front who I can assume is the owner. I am completely upset and angry that all my wedding pictures and closeups were ruined because I had to paint my own nails as inwas getting my hair done. Something that was completely important to me. I don't think I will be going back after this. It's truly heartbreaking and something I cannot over look. It was on my mind the whole wedding day and I am extremely upset and the fact that they couldn't even make good on it speaks volumes. I spend a lot of money every time I go in there and if this is how customers are valued the I don't want any part...

I made two appointments for 5pm; they saw me at 5:30pm. This was the second time this did not honor a time for an appointment.

In addition, it was mani pedis for me and my 3 year old daughter.

I received a spa manicure. In a spa pedicure you get your legs wrapped in a cream mask and Saran Wrap. The cream mask pot used for my pedicure had some cream left and to be fun it was put on my daughters 3 year old feet with Saran Wrap as well. I was then charged $48 for my daughters mani and pedicure because I was told she (my 3 year old) also received a mani pedi. I was appalled and when I tried to nicely speak to the receptionist that it is literally impossible for 3 year old to get a spa pedicure because she was given nothing special but a soak, mask taken off, and polish I was treated horribly. I paid the $48 and I will never come back. We are a community with children and should have places we can go to that try to get by on a mom.

I love the island park community and believe we should support the other nail salons in island park over this new...

I’ve been going to 157 Nail Spa for two years and have tried several nail salons in the East Rockaway, Lynbrook, and Island Park areas. It is a huge location with plenty of nail techs. It is bright and clean inside. I know another location opened in Oceanside recently, but I haven’t tried that one yet.

This is my favorite salon because Hannah does a fantastic job. If you dread sitting in a chair for an hour and a half to two hours, look no further. Hannah removes my powder gel and creates a design in just 60 minutes. I usually show her a photo, and she always delivers exactly what I want. I can’t recommend other nail technicians, but Hannah is amazing at what she does for as long as I’ve known her. She does book up quickly because she is just that good, so be sure to book her at least a week in advance.

Depending on the day and time, the parking lot is shared with the Dunkin' next door and tends to flood when it rains or snows, so be...
