Not a good experience. Walked in on Saturday morning(11ish), had a wedding@2pm. Long story short, I was only able to get a pedi bc time had run til now it's after 2. Medi/pedi already paid for, made an appt. Monday 12pm. Came for appt was asked to come back at 1pm, I come back! I was still waiting after 1:30pm. Requested my $ back and they act like I offended them!!! Are you kidding me. Then said I didn't pay for the design on my toe($5) so it will be deducted. What about the inconvenience of my time? I just took the money and left and will not be returning. UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! DO NOT VALUE THEIR CLIENTS!!! mind you there was only a couple of people before me.​​ read more

An older lady started my nails who clearly had no idea what she was doing. My fill was severely lumpy. Before polishing I politely let her know I will pay but I would like to stop here. I don't like lumpy or thick nails. The "owner" then said she would take over and she then started with a very rushed job like she was frustrated. Which I'm not sure why because I offered to pay I just didn't want a bad job done. She clipped me a couple times because of how fast she was going. All that to have my gel polish peel in 2 days. Never going here again. See pic below. AFTER TWO DAYS with GEL polish . Why have a shop if you don't care about what you do? read more

I would never go back to this establishment because after getting a pedicure even though the pedicure wasn't to my expectations because of the fact that the owner was so busy to get home, she left me with unexperienced people to do my pedicure and also due to her reckless decision, I also ended up falling after getting my pedicure because of the fact that again her unexperienced employee failed to wipe up the water and vitamin E oil that she had spilled from my pedicure and I slipped and fell so hard it was unbelievable but the next day I went to get x-rays and iso you know what's next...... read more

I only come here to get my brows done. Everyone loves Mimi! She's so good at her craft and people consistently come here to get their brows and lashes done by her. She's the best! read more

Never been so disrespected. I came in here for a fill. The lady in the first chair began to rip my nails off. I stopped her and said no thank you. She had the nerve to get an attitude and start slamming shit around. Didn't even want to give me a bandaid. Had the nerve to say don't worry I won't be charged. Like hell I will!!!! B***h. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE! Never again. read more

I hadn't been here in years but since it was my birthday weekend my daughter inlaw got my manicure and pedicure as a gift to me. So, August 17 th I walked in and got the services I desired. The pedicure was done really well. Nice and neat. Still looks nice. My nails though, I didn't think was done as well as they could have been. I had to show the lady where she missed polishing. I don't like the fact that on August 19th most of the polish had chipped away. 4 stars because of that. read more

This place is HORRIBLE! Do not come here! I had a pedicure yesterday and returned today to speak with management about the horrific service I received , it was a that point management accused me of bumping my toes that's why they look this way...you be the judge. On top of that! They did not use regular polish, but the polish from the "gel" package to paint my toes. Finger Paint on Park Blvd or Posh on 9th and Washington are the places to go. Stay away from this dungeon and the seeing impaired technicians! read more

It was a great experience. I've seen this shop many times when I passed by so today I decided to give it a try for my first day of my college. Omg! It's on fire, Tammy - this lady is so creative, she recommended me to write the school's name on my nails, her design is good tho. Also, they did my eyebrows so naturally. Customer service is good, staffs are nice and shop is clean. I'm so satisfied. You guys definitely should come and give a try. read more

This place sucks and I will never come back ever again. I guess since mimi left everything went all the way down hill. Service and everything sucks. I got a pedicure and he did everything out of order. Who still scrubs your heels after the have already painted your toes?!?!?My feet aren't even as soft as they usually would be and have the nerve to charge close to 40 dollars. Do not go here. They will fuck u up . read more

I love this place Very good quality services And I always go to Tammy she is very sweet and talented A true warm hearted woman and very passionate about her work read more

If I could rate this ZERO stars, I would! You may consider going here because you will walk out of there with AWESOME eyelashes and it's super cheap and they seem to do a good job. Shortly after, you will be regretting this decision like crazy! When you lose 50 EYELASHES taking this shit off! I swear that they use some kind of crazy glue on these eyelashes! When you ask them what kind of glue they use, or if NO way that they can tell you! I actually went to Simone's in San Mateo and got extensions and I still have gaps. Apparently, I'm one of the lucky ones. As soon as Simone saw my lashes, she knew that I had gotten this done at some nail salon in Oakland. She said that she has seen this several times and a couple times people came in with ZERO eyelashes and she couldn't do anything. She said that she has also seen people get infections from this place! STAY AWAY!!! read more

I will "NEVER" come here again. I waited 21 mins to be told that they was to busy to do a gel manicure and pedicure. Like WTH I was asked once I came in what would I like done and to wait. I swear I hate unprofessional businesses in Oakland CA. read more

I have been coming to Crystal Nails for 2 years or more and I live in Fairfield. So I drive all the way there because it is worth, atleast when my two ladies are working. I only get my mani/pedi from Ms. Lee and my eybrows waxed from Mimi. Ms. Lee does the best designs and is so friendly. Mimi does great eyebrows making sure they are shapely but still thick as some places tend to take off too much. Eybrows do not grow back. GREAT PRICES!!! Mani $7 Pedi$24 with free 10 toes designs Eybrow wax $7 Lip wax $4 read more

Mimi doeS my eyebrows, so well! If she's not there you might as well wait. Manis & Pedis are done well here, but don't come on the weekends. This is a Oakland favorite nail shop, so it's packed on the weekends. Weekday evenings can be bad too, but you'll be seen in a good amount of time. read more

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Let me start out by saying, to all who are SUPER sensitive, this is NOT the place for you. So look elsewhere. That being said, I LOVE CRYSTAL NAILS!!!!! So I've been coming here on and off for like 6 years, was first brought in by my bestie after being referred by her sister. I originally was in love with one of the young female nail techs cause she was RAW AF with the nail designs and that is top 3 in what I look for in a nail tech. I got my brows done my Mimi back then too but felt they were just as good as my old shop down on fruitvale, so no big whoop (back then). Fast forward to present day; I go here religiously (unless I'm out of town and DESPERATELY NEED a fill or pedi never for brows tho, those I've been doing myself for the last 3 years). So I usually get my nails done either by ( I'm HELLA bad with names) the older guy who sits in the second booth or the young guy who sits in the third booth (if you're back is facing the front door). They both pay attention to detail and are good listeners when it comes to requests and preferences. Never have let me down and NEVER once have I ever had a nail break, crack or lift when they do them, and that says a lot cause I work with my hands a lot and (used to be) notorious for breaking a nail or two before my next shop run. My pedicures are always on point, made me fall in love with my feet that I've always hated. As with ANY shop you still need to pay attention to the trimming/clipping if you have a specific preference for length and whatever. ON TO MIMI THE BROW GOD........ She comes off abrasive and will make anyone be like "bish whet?!?" but once you see how she interacts with the everyone else especially the regulars, you'll see that she doesn't mean any harm by it. It's just how she is. I LOVE MIMI tho, she did my last two pedicures and my boyfriend and I can't keep our hands off my feet now lol before they were always cute but she knows what I like so it's a lil diff than when my other pedi lady does them. Anyways I begged her to help me bring my sad ass brows back to life about a month ago and she said she "didn't have enough magic" so she waxed me that day and a month ( 2fills a full set and couple pedis) later I'm back!!! Postponed my trip to LA cause she wasn't at work yesterday and I REFUSED to leave the town before she blessed me. And I'm SO GLAD I DIDNT this long af but worth it cause they're the truth. Parking SUCKS A** and they ARE CA$H ONLY so don't go in there lookin stupid tryna SWIPE that plastic read more

Inexpensive & they do a fabulous job on design work! The only issue I have is they are a little too pushy with getting additional work done and tend to get a slight attitude when you tell them no. Other than that I can't really complain! They are my go to for cute pedicures for cheap! read more

I've been going to this salon since 2008 my experience at Crystal's nail salon has always been pleasant they are clean, efficient, reasonable prices, great hours of operation and know what they are doing. If you want mani/pedi, waxing, and eyelashes you can have all of this done in 1hour or less on a Saturday. Great customer service thanks to crew that currently provides services. Cindy/Mimi your sense of humor is priceless. They treat you like you've been coming to them for years even on your first visit that never changes. In reference to eyelash glue/removal it is important that 1 is well educated in the removal process temp eyelashes is not something for 1/2 days. If you have them put on be prepared to wear them for @ least a week or longer otherwise removal is not a easy task and you can risk losing your own. read more

I don't know why I always forget to check in here. .. I've been coming here for years...well on and off depending on my schedule. But if im in this side of the bridge and need a little foot pick me up....this is where I go. Mimi is the best. If this were based solely on her and her magical work on brows the place would get 5 stars hands down. There are only two things I come here for....brows and toes.... but why here on Mac Arthur in Oakland??? The area might scare some people but this is home :) and put simply. .. Mimi knows what she's doing and doesn't make my eyebrows look anorexic! And pedicures are relatively cheap and good. Sometimes there can be a long wait so try and come early... I think they switched to cash only so make sure to have that before you come. And beware of where you park.... they will tow your car... :/ So I tried lashes here once but in truth my eyes are just too little and Asian and get irritated by the wait of the lashes. They did look good though... read more

I lovedy nails I would come here again did a really good job on my nails and my feet also got my eyebrows done and I ever let anyone other than the lady at MacArthur nails touch my face but this time I let someone else do it n I'm satisfied read more

I used to go here for years. Tammy had been doing my nails since the place was sold. Customer service is horrible though. As I was getting g my pedicure I asked KEVIN if he can translate for me. He got an attitude and started yelling m. To tell you the truth I cussed him out and I will never go there again. How dare you. At the end of the day you're in my city/ my neighborhood. Y'all need our money. Get a grip. read more

I have been coming here for years just to see Mimi... no one else is allowed near my eyebrows!!!

Worst nail shop in Oakland I will never come back. I asked for coffin nails and chrome polish and came out with this. My 2 of my nails broke within the first week. Also the eyebrow tech double dips the wax strips when doing peoples eyebrows, breaking my forehead out everytime. Please save your money and go somewhere that's sanitary and has experience read more

Kevin is awesome. I am very picky when it comes to my nails. I have finally found my nail tech to do my nails. Kevin loves what he do and takes pride in it. My nails are always on point every single time literally. No complaints my way. He will always get my business. read more

I've been coming here for a while now. And I stopped coming here for a various reasons. The employees here take business to a personal level, they get upset when you don't want certain people doing your nails. This is what you do for a living; NAILS. so don't get upset when one doesn't want you Kevin of Eric Also I've taken pictures and videos of how gross this place is. It's true you get what you pay for, but this is beyond gross and cheap. I have a license in cosmetology, & I know what needs to be clean or not. If you haven't gotten fungus here yet, bless you! Because everyone I know has gotten some type of fungus here, specially in feet. They don't sterilize anything & I have proof of everything throughout this years. I will be calling health & safety and the state board generator to come and see for themselves. Crystal nails shouldn't be running like this. Mimi who is the owner now shouldn't be the type she is & have favoritism towards people. Appt is appt you come first you come first. My videos & pictures will be out there. I have contacted local news. And I know for a fact I have a group of people who think the same about this place. read more

I love crystal nails! I've been going there for over ten years and they have treated me really good. I love jenny, doug, mimi, toni, cindy, and lee ann. They are good people and they give good service to good people. Some people try to come in there with attitudes and they give them back but they have no choice. I mean they ARE in oakland, but if you are nice to them, they are nice to you. I would recommend jenny and doug to anyone that wants a good hand painted nail art design. read more
