Lily C.

So sad to be making this review but I think it's worth it to warn others. I came in on last Wednesday afternoon (it's now Sunday AM) for a gel pedi and mani. I've been here a small handful of times for regular pedicures and have had zero issues other than maybe a small nic when the tech was cutting away dead skin. Anyways, to cut a very long boring story short, my manicure lasted about 2 whole days before lifting on all nails. One of which completely lifted and I had to peel away. My pedicure was also probably the worst I've had, as I showed the tech a picture of a French tip with a very thin line; he asked numerous times if it looked okay and politely kept repeating myself as the line was extremely thick. I ultimately gave up because I repeated myself 6+ times to go thinner. I spent almost $100 on pretty straight forward services and left feeling very disappointed. I unfortunately will not be returning.

Nails done by Sandy! She is always happy to try new designs for my nails and always does a good job.

I love love love getting my nails done here! The ladies here are so kind and friendly always saying hi and giving compliments. And of course they're all (at least the ones who have done my nails) good at doing nails! I love how they can make acrylics so thin that they look like my real nails! And they're still strong and won't break! I really like coming here to get my nails done.

Took my daughter to get her nails done here and she loves her nails and the nail tech(Kelly) who did them was amazing.

Sandy is the best! She can do any design you want! She's so so good! Tiffany is also amazing at pedicures! Come visit them!

I am a guy and I had ingrown toenails in the past with surgery done to remove them. Ever since, I come here with my mom and sometimes by myself to get a pedicure done for the upkeep of my toenails. The service is always amazing and they know how to get it done! Tell them what you need. They know what they are doing and would recommend this place to anyone. Prices are decent and affordable. Massage chairs are great. It's a relaxing experience. Men, don't be embarrassed to get a pedicure done! Go with your wives, girlfriend, sisters, mom, etc. You won't regret it. It's healthy for your feet, improves blood flow and keeps it clean. Your health is vital and should be top priority!

This place never disappoints! Online booking makes it so easy to book with your favorite. But I will say ALL of them do an amazing job. So many options of colors, from dips to gels to acrylic powders. Love it! Very clean and well put together.

Such a great nail salon they always make sure I come out happy with what I got, this place never disappoints

I asked for the French tip after previously having brown nails, you can clearly see she left plenty of the brown acrylic behind.

Alexa S.

I've been going here for a year now and things usually went fine.. but this was pure negligence. Not to mention they cracked a day later. I go back to get the crack in my nail fixed and try to mention the fact that she didn't even get off all of my brown acrylic from the last set to the manager working the front and he puts his hand up in my face and says "she'll help you" before I could even finish. (I was being very polite). He was very disrespectful and they didn't offer to fix the full set. It shouldn't have happened. She knew what she was doing and I would've said something at the moment but I was "trusting the process" until it was done. And it took WAY too long for me to ask her to redo it that day. Over all, if you need a simple style you can trust them most of the time. I wish I got her name so I could warn you not to go to her specifically.

Come back here after 1 month . The service is so fast , they are so nice . You should have MiMi to do your nails and your pedicure. She is the best . I'm in love this new nail design. It's so cute . The vibe is pretty chill and cozy .

This is the nail that had a bubble under the polish.

ALL Cash only. They're really rough with your nails. I had a bubble under my nail polish that led one of nail to have the polish peel off. The place is dirty as well. The staff is nice but I won't be returning anymore.

I got a spa pedicure with French tips and gel. They were very affordable and definitely a great salon with good energy and vibes. Tracey did my pedicure and she was AMAZING! Sometimes it's so hard to find someone who is gentle but also is able to service your nails correctly. I definitely will be back moving forward and recommend Tracey if you're going to the salon! read more

I go here for both my nails and toes. I go to whoever for my toes but there is one lady I really like I just forget her name. As for my nails- Sandy is amazing!! She is my girl. She listens to what you want and is super talented. I get plain nails usually but every time I wanted a design she does amazing. If you're looking for a nail place in the lakeside area, sandy at crystal nails is the way to go! Oh and I forgot to mention, my nails NEVER lift. Not once. And I go 4+ weeks sometimes. They don't break or lift! read more

I had a last minute opportunity of being kid free for a couple hours and I haven't had a pedicure in a year. I remember coming to Crystal Nails once maybe 2 years ago and it was pleasant so I figured I'd see if they could squeeze in a last minute walk-in pedi. I arrived at 6:10 and they close at 7. Tiffany (great name right?) was happy to help me, and she was heaven sent. She had her work cut out for her, as I'm LONG overdue but she took her time, was very professional and polite and really treated my feet well! I'm so grateful I stopped by here and will definitely be back soon! Thank you Tiffany for a wonderful pedicure experience for an exhausted mom of 3! The place was very clean and comfortable as well. read more

I have tried this business on 2 different occasions over the span of a year and I can say I will never return. The workers are so judgmental, not friendly, they make it a point to make you feel uncomfortable and to know they are talking badly about you amongst one another in their own native language (more than a typical nail salon). This facility is not very clean, I feel as they might need a health inspection. The man who works at the front desk is not friendly and ignores people depending on their race. I once had a set appointment with 'Kim' and when I arrived they told me she was already helping someone and refused to help me. During one of my visits I was there I saw 2 very young females around the age of 14-16yo and it seemed as they were working against their own will as they were sold to the owners or something, I don't know if thats too far of an assumption or what but their behavior made me feel VERY uncomfortable!

I'm giving 3 stars because there are a few people there that are good at what they do. However whenever I've requested one when scheduling my appointment I don't get that person. Today was the last time. My toes are not the color I asked for and my fingers.... She tried to do what I requested but couldn't get it. She even put polish on the sides of my nails. I about fell over watching. My nails are different lengths and she put so much alcohol on my fingers I had to come home and put oil on them. Personally I do not correct them because that just takes longer and if they can't get it right the first time I'm not willing to sit there for them to keep trying. read more

They cut my actual finger skin on two fingers leading me to bleed. They proceeded to charge full price and act as if they didn't know what happened they also used a drill on my natural nails, and I had asked them for a soak off, which is when you have the nails sitting in acetone to remove any extensions. Do not go here. I will never go here again. read more

Went in on Tuesday 2/15 not expecting it to be crazy busy, but it was. The lady doing my nails apologized a million times because they were short staffed, I told her a million times it wasn't a problem! Let me start by saying I hate going to the nail salon, I usually do my nails myself since COVID... but I had run out of polish and was in desperate need for a mani/pedi! Anyway, the selection for dip powder is basically nonexistent, so I went with boring white... whatever. By the time the woman was shaping my nails I was too distracted by the woman scrubbing my feet that I didn't realize she was going full 90's square on me... me being non confrontational... I figured once I get home I can round them bad boys out, no big deal. $100 later my toes looked cute and my nails were "meh". Last night Wednesday- a mere 30 hours after my manicure- 2 nails POPPED off in the middle of my shift! I'm super annoyed and am again reminded why I do my own nails. Saves me time at the salon and if a nail pops off at work I can't be mad because I didn't spend a ton of money at the salon getting them done. Needless to say I will be sticking to doing my own nails from here on out. read more

Hannah was so kind and welcoming, the inside of the studio is SO cute...I totally wish I would've gotten pics. But I felt right at home. We talked the whole time and the hour really went by fast. Second, I have really sensitive skin and explained how soft wax has affected my underarms (which was an at home treatment) and she made sure to use hard wax. She was knowledgeable, and she has attention to detail and made sure to do a good job. I 100% recommend booking with Hannah. I got underarms and 1/2 leg for reference and it was abound 80$ (without tip) which is also pretty good for pricing for a service like this!

She makes you feel very comfortable while she is taking care of you.

I'm very disappointed because the first time I came here it was ok but in my experience today I went to have a day with my daughter we were so excited to get our nails done and the minute I walked in there I felt rushed I felt like I couldn't decide on the color I wanted because they were out of almost every color!!! I wanted so I was trying to find the one I could like the best and during that time they were just being very rude speaking in their language like I was dumb because I couldn't decide I got a pedicure and a full set and the whole time I was being rushed during my pedicure at the same time they start doing my nails I couldn't relax it was just very uncomfortable the way they were talking in their language the whole time and the tech I believe was Kim burned me with the machine that used to file your nails down like 4 times!!very painful just so you know !which really hurt alot I just don't understand what's the issue of customer service!!?! I went to have a good experience with my daughter but I wanted to run out of the nail chair!! because of their attitudes and the way they made me feel( I even said it out loud why does everybody in here have such a rude attitude and they ignored me ?)and my daughter was very uncomfortable they continue to tell her to stop to get out of the way she was excited to show me her nails !!!! she 6 years old that they did and they just seem angry I had to continue to tell my daughter to sit down because they were so upset if she got close to me to express how happy she was!!! They were annoyed with me and my daughter and they had no reason to instead we got treated like not even a human it was just about money I paid $70 to go relax not to feel uncomfortable and out of place or in an out get out!!!at least if you're going to run a business that way you should greet the customers and be sincere and friendly that's what a business is about not to mapke the person feel like trash it was a horrible experience and I don't ever want to go there again with my daughter because I wouldn't want to make a scene because that's not how I was raised but if I was alone I probably would have made a huge deal because it was very unprofessional this was the 3rd time I have come here and probably the last because of the way they made me and my daughter feel smh.. read more

I have tried many of the different nail techs at Crystal nails. I can recommend Sandy and Tina ONLY. Do not go to John he is very rude. I had to go back two times because the nails kept popping off, I had been going to Crystal nails for over a year and had never had this problem. I honestly felt that I should not be charged for poor old products. which at the time was less then a week old. I went in there to go back to the tech that did my nails but she was not there. John said there would be no charge so I did leave him a good size tip. Two weeks later I was ready for a fill so I went back and again had John do my nails and was lectured about how I have to pay for my nails this time (which I was planning on doing) and he was just downright rude saying it was not his fault the first set popped off, he was looking to argue with me which really shocked me. I told him he was the one that said he would redo them, I did not ask him to do them. . I was so upset that I just paid for the nails no tip included and left. The following week I discussed the issue with managment but I am sure my comments do not mean anything to any of them. I had stopped having my pedicure there after noticing that they do not properly clean there foot bowls. I had developed a fungus after my last visit there and am currently under a doctors care for it. Do not bother to make an appointment as they are never considerate of your schedule. read more

Lee is beyond the best!! I had been getting my nails done by the same person for about 10 years and then she quit doing nails to sell real estate. I know this might sound dramatic...but I was devastated!! She was so good and I spent the next year bouncing from nail tech to nail tech trying to find someone I at least liked. After another terrible experience, I complained to my neighbor and she told me to try her girl. That's when I found Lee. She is young so she keeps up with the trends, super cute, so I love that I can count on suggestions from her, and she is AMAZING at what she does! Since I've been with her I have had short square nails, stiletto nails, and I am currently wearing coffin shaped nails! She can do anything!! And I've loved everything she's done. She even introduced me to chrome nails but made sure they were tamed down a bit for me. Do yourself a big favor and request Lee the next time you get your nails done. You will be so happy you did!!! Love you Lee!!! read more

I cannot say enough about this salon. Ive been coming for years and we are always greeted with a friendly hello. Today, after months of growing my eyesbrows out duento sheltering in place, i went in. My heart broke as the technician i was with kept apologizing to me about the inconveniences due to the restrictions and new peocedures in place. They shouldnt have to apologize for keeping us safe and themselves. This is a new way of life we are in right now and if that means more wait time, schedule appts, face masks and price changes then im all for it and appluad Crystals nails for their dedication to this community. Not only have they opened up when some have chosen not too, they provided us with hand made masks and support to Lakeside as a whole during the hardship of closing their doors. A huge thank you and shout out to the crew at Crystals Nails. You are appreciated and we see all the changes you have to endure simply to make your clients needs met and you are loved! read more

Unhygienic Experience at Crystal's Nail & spa I recently visited Crystal's Nail & spa for a nail service, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The nail technician used dirty tools during my treatment, compromising hygiene standards. The overall cleanliness of the salon left much to be desired, and it was evident that proper sanitization protocols were not followed. This not only raised concerns for my own well-being but also for the health and safety of other customers. I strongly recommend that Crystal's Nail & spa takes immediate action to address these hygiene issues, as they are crucial for customer satisfaction and the reputation of the establishment. Potential clients deserve a clean and safe environment when seeking beauty services. I hope my feedback serves as a constructive critique, prompting positive changes at Crystal's Nail & spa. read more

This is a great place to get your nails and pedicure done all at the same time. I came here the first time for my nails and it was gorgeous. I don't know what kind of Gel coat they put on but it last forever and keep my nail fresh until I came back for a fill. @ Fill: I can change any color any shape that I want and they have at least 200 colors for you to choose from. @pedicure: amazing spa chair with roller massage, very clean and sanitized especially tools that can not sanitize they will give it back to you at the end of the service. I loved the pumice stone! The foot massage was so good. Other than that there's a service called Sparkle toe... it's incredible!!! Again I don't know what kind of Gel that they used but it make your toe nails shiny and twinkle. This last me at least 2 months. read more

This is the BEST thing that has happened to San Diego!! Ladies, we all know there are tons of nail salons that would like to earn out business. Please know that this salon is where you want to be. Sandy is the person you definitely want to go to!! They are ALL wonderful. They are attentive to your needs, provide phenomenal customer service and you are always happy when you leave there, not to mention how much fun it is to visit the salon. I HIGHLY recommend giving Crystals nails a try......YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Trust this coming from someone who is VERY picky about cleanliness and customer service. read more

I came in with my Mom, daughter, and niece. I figured without and appointment and 4 people, I wouldn't get in, but they have so much staff we barely waited. I had Natalie do my spa pedi and Lynn did a dip powder mani. They are both perfect and the ladies are kind. My mom uses Sandy and swears by her work and great personality. The girls had Tracey and she's always so patient and fun with them. Mix that with a very clean environment and I'll definitely come back over and over. One thing to note is that they should probably offer drinks. A water would be nice. But overall, excellent experience. read more

I would not recommend this place. The lady that did my nails was extremely aggressive and rushed the entire process. She made me bleed in several places and kept running the dremmel over my skin to the point that my skin is raw on multiple fingers. She was pulling and tugging on my hands and would throw my hand aside when she would move on to the next one. One of the tips broke off less then 30 minutes after leaving the salon and they were closed by then and I have a 4am plane to catch so I can't even get it fixed. For the price I paid I would expect better quality and customer service. read more

I get a lot of good referrals from my co workers in the health and beauty category. Going to Crystals was a great experience. i came in for a spa pedicure and OMG.. it was worth it! All my little twinkle toes TWINKLED! My foot massage was best! the guy who performed my pedicure was awesome. I got the sparkle gel on my toes and i LOVE it! They made me feel like a princess dancing on clouds after I was done there. Im going back for sure. I just wish they were a little closer to my neighborhood, its a drag they are so far away from me. read more

If customer service doesn't matter to you, then I'd recommend this salon. Sandy, Tina, Jason, and Lee always did a great job on my nails! I advise steering clear of Kim for nails--I always felt rushed and my nails were never done how I wanted. Customer service is definitely not a priority there, which is disappointing because they generally do good work, but I won't be back. read more
