I don't get my nails done often so those $60 shellac manis where you get a pillow and are offered mimosas and wine is cute, but I just cannot. Especially when I can get a shellac mani, a regular pedi and a tip for that same price at Crystal's! I've never gotten the same lady twice and have always had a good job done. I tried making an appointment once, but I don't think they take the appointment book too seriously. They didn't take my name or number down when I made it. Busy times are per usual: weekdays around lunchtime and after work, weekends starting just before lunchtime and probably the rest of the day. The entire place is pretty small. The wait area has candy nearby if you want a little treat. This place is a great find for a cheap and quick mani or pedi. read more

It seemed like they are getting more and more busy and they really cannot do really good jobs on the nails any more. A girl supposed to do my nails asked me to go get myself a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and she leftI saw the cashier grabbed my bag and threw it to another chair without even telling me what she was going to do. Yes, there are many nail colors to choose from. But 50% of those colors on the samplers were faded away. Maybe I will go back again, but I will never try the cashier again. She kept complaining and had no patient when she applied nail polish onto my nails. I think she might be the owner of the salon, Crystal. Anyways, I will provide you some pictures and let you judge her work. Other girls may do better jobs than this woman. If there's no where I can go, I will definitely come back again. read more

UPDATE: I have now been a regular here for over three years, and I still love it. I think they've got at least 100 gel colors and still very reasonable in terms of price. I have been a regular here for 2 years. Even though the personnel changes every so often, everyone who works here produces high-quality work. They also have the largest selection of shelac/gel colors - definitely more than 50 options. A gel manicure is only $20! There's usually a long wait Friday-Sunday (even with an appointment), but it's worth it. read more

Creative work. But change the price according to their mood. Not everyone is good here, so I went twice and never returned. If you looking for a one time vacation nail treatment, then I say give it a go. read more

I love this place. It was very busy but the staff was able to see me immediately. Shellac nails have been nice and lasting me over two weeks. read more

Crystal's Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

LOL, "krital nail" is all i think of when i come to this place. You know, that comedian!!!??? Hold on... I have the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baDJ-ZIvYy0&noredirect=1 Okie, you have to watch it to understand that joke. It's exactly what they do there, AND just because i'm asian does not mean I'm not gonna crack asian jokes. They do talk like this and it's hilarious.... But besides the entertainment factor, I like coming here. After a long search of good places to get pretty designs for my cute toes, I finally found one and the prices are very reasonable and My toes stay pretty each time. Pretty toes are easy though, what is tough is to find someone to put acryllics on your fingers WITHOUT ruining them forever. Minh is the guy there. I think he's the only guy, but not FULLY guy. hehe...if you know what i mean. ;o) Minh if you read this, you're still awesome!!! I can't have fake nails because of work but my boyfriend loves the way they look so once in a while when I know I have some time off, i will get my nails done. The first time I got them done, i was in a super rush and maybe almost rude to the guy becaues i told him i only had forty five minutes and at thirty minutes i was going nuts. I sat patiently while he worked as quickly as he could and as he was sanding off my nails to get ready for acryllic, i realized he was super gentle and was barely taking anything off, WHICH IS GREAT!!!! yes I'm asian, so i fall into that category of nail people too, I have done nails and if you didn't know, they do NOT have to shave off the whole entire layer, they just have to scuff it up to put the nails on. And why is this so important you ask??? WELL, if you're anything like me, you're not gonna keep coming back for refills and would like your normal nails to come back as soon as the fake nails fall off. Not having the whole top layer shaved off means your nails will look almost normal and healthy when it comes off and you don't have to worry about having super thin ugly nails that will crack everytime you touch something. So Minh gets four stars for being super sweet attentive and doing a fabulous job on sensitive nails. He's done my nails twice from scratch twice both times, super results. Plus he puts just enough so your fingers don't ache from the extra weight on your nails. They loose a star for my uneven brows!!! Emergency session since I usually only go to bella salon for my waxing and I did it for convenience. One even round of eyebrows did it for me. Only toes and fingers here!!! read more

I'm so excited I've finally found a new go to nail shop! Super clean and tons of colors to chose from. Every nail tech had a smile on their face despite it being 9am. The shop quickly filled up and I can see why! They do a great job and are super affordable! $40 for a shellac mani and a regular pedi is a steal in my book. read more

Amazing amazing I love my nails I cant type much besides she listened and we created my fav nails read more

So I have been here a few times and received decent service for the price, but not the best regular manicure or mani/pedi. The technicians are friendly enough but sometimes they like to do things their own ways no matter how I tell them my preference. I also always have a chip immediately after leaving the salon or even sometimes while still in the salon. While I like the price and convenience, I don't think I'll become a regular customer simply because my nails chip immediately. Cheap prices - but then you don't get a lasting job. It's probably different for a shellac/gel mani/pedi so if that's what you are going to get, then this place is still good. read more

This is the perfect place is you want a cheap but well done mani/pedi. Their shellac is incredibly cheap, always looks good, and lasts at least two weeks. I'm sure it would last longer, but I'm just impatient with colors, haha. Everything here is done quickly, clean, and well. If you're looking for a really nice experience though, this isn't the place. They don't have any extra frills, so you definitely get what you pay for. However, if you want a job well done for a cheap price, this is your place! I love it. I've tried different places around the city, but I keep coming back here! They have the cheapest shellac manicures of anyone around. Worth it! read more

I've been going to this nail salon for a couple of years, and today was the last day I will be back. The woman who manages this shop is rude to her employees and I experienced today very bad customer service myself from her personally. "You don't have to come back, I don't care." It's that kind of place y'all...... I recommend Holly Nails off Westheimer. The nail techs seem happy, and it shows through the work they do. Pricing is competitive as well! read more

Been going there for years love the place real good affordable nail place if you want to know who to ask for ANN and Hailey hands down do the best nails!!! Hailey is back in school so she's not working but ask for ANN and you won't regret it!!!! Best for pedi's would have to be Jessi and Mandi. Every time I leave there my nails in toes are plushed out!!!!! Best place in Houston to get your nails done! read more

Stopped by Crystal's nails after work and they saw me immediately. They had a ton of shellac colors to pick from PLUS it was only $20 for a shellac manicure!!! Service was excellent- I will definitely be back again! read more

Crystal's Nails - Awesome shellac nails color 029 - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place used to be my favorite but over the year, it has gone downhill with its inconsistency. The workers here are overworked and most of the time half asleep while working. They also go cuticle crazy so I've gotten cut at least 3 times pretty badly here -- they were falling asleep while doing my nails. The good ones had all left the place so now you're just stuck with the leftovers. Probably won't be coming back here. read more

Small little place in the shopping complex on Westheimer. A little crowded when you walk in with space and they seem to get a lot of customers even for 3pm. I made an appointment before I went just to be safe. Asked for Pearl after someone recommended her on here. She was really nice. Did a pretty good job. Probably took about 40 mins for shellac. Payed $20 plus tip. Would probably go back for shellac. Haven't tried the pedicure here but I like my place in Pearland a lot so I might do shellac here and pedicures there. Would most likely go back. read more

I had a great experience here. It was clean, quick and reasonably priced. I used to go to a nail salon that was 50% more expensive. This gel manicure lasted much longer than the expensive one did. Goodbye old salon! read more

I love love love the regular pedicure omg. This was my first visit and I had hot rocks a nice massage so awesome . My feet aren't super hard or anything like that but I've never been to a nail shop that's taken so much dead skin off of my feet before loved that . My nails are nice too the ladies were nice as well . read more

Thao did my nails. She is super fast and efficient. I made an appt same day and was seen right on time. I received gel nails for $20. My nails look gorgeous and I cannot stop smiling when I look at them. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Crystal's Nails - Beautiful! - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here for deluxe pedicure, the technician, Lisa, disappointed me a ton! She just gave me a quick and sensory massage. She did not even wrap the hot towel around my legs. Extremely disappointed! Waste my money. Never come back here. read more

Crystal's Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

Use to go to Amy but she left. But Judy did my nails the last couple of times and she's awesome.

Mandy never disappoints. She always does a great job on my shellac. It last a good 3 weeks, but I usually go about 2 because I get bored of the color. Prices are great. Nowhere in town you'll get shellac for $25. If you want Mandy - make an appointment. She's always busy and will no way get her through a walk-in. read more

Will not be back. Yes it's inexpensive but it appears that they do not use proper cleaning and sterilization procedures. Got a regular pedicure, which apparently does not include lotion massaged onto your legs. I had to ask her to sterilize the clippers and tools before she used them on my fingers. None of the tools came from a sterilized pouch. Used emery boards and that spongy sanding thing, none remotely new. Wonder how many other people they were used on before me? My daughter commented that she wonders if she'll get some kind of infection. Also, despite the fact that I asked only to shape my nails, she filed them down short. Not happy with that. I had nails going in, none coming out. With so many other nail salons around that probably do a better job of cleanliness and pay attention to what you ask, I'll not be back. read more

Great pedi for $25...hot stone massage too. The girls are a little tough to understand, but they had a HUGE selection of colors. I found my girl for pink and whites already (across the street), but I was in a rush and they were slammed, so I jetted across to Crystal's nails. I was in and out, and my toes are adorable and neon pink! They give you a customer loyalty card too, which lets you accrue points towards free services. They're open til 8 on Saturdays too, which is nice. read more

I made an appointment but decided I wanted to come in earlier. It was not a problem. My pedicure with the hot stones and massage was amazing (even if I wore jeans). You should probably wear shorts or something that rolls up more than skinny jeans. Truc did a great pedicure and she was so nice. Hien did my shellac mani and my eyebrow. I haven't feel this fresh in a while. It's more in my price range than a $90 mani pedi for sure. I'm thinking of even making it a girls spa day in the future. I definitely am coming back! read more

So I'm not one to get my nails done on a regular basis...until now. It's $40 for a shellac manicure and regular pedicure. They do a great job. I came once on a Friday afternoon and it was packed. I didn't have to wait terribly long though. But, people watching in a nail salon is the best. read more

Affordable price love this place will highly recommends nice employees service is good very time I wake in Hannah she always made me a free cafe. But best of all she surprised me with all the new colors that she had in inventory keep it up the good work Hannah read more

Love this place! The service was fast, my appointment was honored and I wasn't waiting for them to finish with someone else. My nails were done with precision and I have not had to go back for a refill just yet and it has been 2 weeks! I will definitely be coming back! I will say it is not the upscale type place I normally go to but for the service and quality I am willing to ditch the free mimosas and wine. read more

This is my new go to nail salon. I rarely have a shellac manicure last longer than 4 days without chipping and this has now been over a week and my nails still look perfect. No chipping or cracking. Will definitely be returning. Not to mention prices are much cheaper compared to others around... $20 for shellac mani. read more

Crystal's Nails - This is my new go to nail salon! - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

The worst. Honestly, what else do you need? I thought I'd give them a 3rd try and this wait and service is ridiculous. This poor lady didn't even enjoy her pedicure( they cut and file her nails while she was still waiting for a chair to be available). I'm on a roll now.. NOW THEYRE waxing the ladies mustache while she is out in the waiting area. I can'ttttttttt. I'm shook omg. read more

Thao/Tina did my nails! It was super quick and overall a great experience. This is going to have to be my new go to nail salon! Plus the prices are great! read more

I have come here a couple times and not been impressed with their service but then I met Judy! She's super sweet and very comforting. I did a regular mani with her and she offered me water which no one else has ever done. It's the little things. Shout her out she's putting a child through college !! read more

Crystal's Nails - Manicure - Put it in Neutral OPI - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

So I've been here twice now for a gel manicure, and overall I'd say I'm pretty stoked on the combo of (a) reasonable prices, (b) good but still quick work, and (c) me being one happy panda when I walk out. $20 for a gel manicure isn't bad. Actually, I would have given this place 5 stars if I had gone back to the same girl I had the first time. GET MIMI. My manicure lasted almost 3 weeks before I had to come in and get it changed. She was great. I had another woman do my nails last time (can't remember who), but Mimi was busy and she handled me instead. Mistake. I'm getting the appointment with Mimi next time. Don't get me wrong - the second round has lasted me 2 weeks, but it looks like I need a manicure now. The salon is small, but all the ladies are very friendly. Lots of options for colors (especially gel), reasonable prices, quick work without feeling rushed... all in all I'd say this is a hidden gem. read more

Never been disrespected so much as a customer in a nail salon. Not only after making an appointment and arriving on time did I sit and wait for an hour, but the laceration on my foot makes it clear why I will not be visiting this shop again. Even after the young woman apologized which I understood I had to sit and wait another 45 minutes for someone else to finish what she did not. After my total 3 hours there I was told only $5 would be taken off even tho they had to bandage my foot in order for me to leave and walk out hearing excuses of why I should be glad it wasn't worse. Unacceptable. read more

Crystal's Nails - Deep cut that I was expected to pay full price for. I won't be back. - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been a patron of this salon for years on & off, had my nails done less then a week and you can see the white tip of the nail when returning to salon one of the girls Mindy became nasty Gona charge you $ 8.00, you do cheap nails, is what she said. Really when I tip the girls very well. Total $55.00 Mani, pedi 15.00 tip. I'm not a $2.00 dollar tipper. This is a service industry and some of these Vietnamese girls need to learn a little bit of American finesse when you are in a service industry you need to be kind to your customers just because your salon is full on Saturday and Sundays . I do understand that these women work on commission and that's why I always tip them well because they're not making hourly wage. As it turned out the young woman that did my nails SHE retouch them so the tips would no longer be white and it was a shellac , that we use so Mindy being very rude saying I chose a cheap polish she didn't know what she's talking about. so the review is going to look poorly bad due to Mindy and her nasty attitude toward the customer. ladies time to learn your lesson if you do a good job and treat the customer right they will come back. because not everything is based on price. IT ended up the young lady did redo my nails retouch them and I gave her a minimal tip $5.00 just for the effort but again some of The girls need to learn the nature of service. Service with a smile not nasty. MINDY. It will be some time before I return, speaking about the customer in another language, about you , well it's just RUDE. read more

First time here. I made an appointment and came a little early. It's now passed my appointment time and I'm still waiting. Makes no sense. If you make an appointment, and come a little early, it should still be okay. I came in and there are several people already getting things done. The operation hour is 12:00 but I came in 11:50. I am scheduled an appointment at 12. They are making me wait 15-20 minutes. I scheduled with Pearl or Mindy and some random person is working on me. This place needs more structure. read more
