    If you want the most amazing nails around, please go and see Tony and his crew at Happy Nails in McHenry. I have been going to him religiously for years now because I have never found another nail tech that provides the quality of work that he does. If you are looking for a unique design you will not find anywhere else, he will definitely take care of you. Everytime I get my nails done I feel like a million bucks. I get so many compliments on my nails all of the time and have referred many friends and family to Tony. The salon is freshly painted, very clean, and it has brand new pedicure chairs. They have music and a TV playing for your relaxation, and all of the techs are kind, helpful and do amazing work. They have the latest nail polish colors and also dips, chrome, magnetic, hot/cold, cats eye, foil and so many other designs and options. They also offer a birthday discount of 15%. Please give them a call, you will not be disappointed. Be sure to like and follow their Facebook page and check out their specials and unique designs. I have been to several nail salons in the McHenry county area and I promise you this one is THE BEST by far!

    Went to Crystal Nails for the first time- thank you for your artistry and attention to detail.

    We tried Crystal nails for the first time in preparation for my daughter going to a dance. I received a great manicure as well. The staff was professional and friendly. Everything turned out great, give them a try today!

    I unfortunately chipped my no chip and instead of just dabbing polish to fix it when I came in on a busy Saturday she fully fixed

    I love this salon! I got the best Basic Manicure and unfortunately chipped my no chip and instead of just dabbing polish to fix it (like I would have done LOL) when I came in on a busy Saturday she fully fixed and was super kind - the pedicure was amazing too with a great massage chair. Found my new nail salon! Great location too next to everything so shopping and nails is a no brainer :)

    Absolutely love this nail salon. Atmosphere is inviting and friendly. I believe this is the only salon I've been to that will try a nail design rather than telling you "no we don't do that" they try and succeed! Their nail art is amazing work. I love it here

    My daughter and I have been going to Crystal Nails for over 2 1/2 years. Neither of us would go anywhere else. Absolutely love their work. The atmosphere is perfect. The owner takes pride in her place and her work. I have never felt like just another customer. There are so many places who do not care to know you. It's important to me when a business actually realizes you're more then the dollar you can give. I recommend Crystal Nails every time someone asks for a place. Great work, awesome atmosphere and crazy ass people- just what I love!!

    I cannot say enough good things about this salon! The owner, Kathy, and her team are always friendly and they do great work. The salon is modern and classy, and is always clean. You can tell they take great pride in their salon and in the services provided. My nails always turn out beautiful! I've tried many salons over the past few years and no longer need to keep looking, this place is a keeper!

    Lighting at the restaurant is not helpful, these nails are perfect!!!!!

    I've been getting my nails done by the same girl for nearly two years now and as much as I love them, I just can't afford the $70 per tip anymore. I went somewhere in fox lake a month ago and $65 later my nails looked awful! I tried saving money and it screwed me. A few weeks ago I moved down the street from Crystal nails, saw a couple reviews and truthfully it was close so I took a chance. When I walked in I was instantly greeted by Ray. I'll be honest Ed I didn't realize he was one of the nail artists at first but boy was I wrong! After some discussion over what we thought might be on my nails we came up with a plan. He constantly thanked me for being patient but truly I should've been thanking him! He was so honest and meticulous and considerably cheaper than the last two years of my nail life! Ray was great! He was so funny and nice to not just me but every person in the salon. I not only found a new salon but a new artist!!

    Beware! This end result of my ombré dip powder nails which I've had done at other nail salons. I showed them the picture and asked if they could do it. He agrees and gets to work. Unfortunately with the dip powder you can only see the end result once they're finished. Not to mention he butchered my cuticles and got my skin with that shaving machine THEEE times! I was about to ask him if he was falling asleep on me. Then once I saw the final look I was so disappointed and showed him a few things I was not satisfied with. He argued with me and said that you actually can't do ombré with dip powder... I said first of all yes you can I've had it done a # of times at other places and second why would you tell me you could do it when I first walked in. Then he tried to fix a nail and after one of his coworkers said something in a different language he said it's okay you don't need to pay for these and left my one nail unfinished! Not like it even makes a difference anyways. How much worse can they get! Do not go here!!!!!

    Terrible. Rude owner, bad service. 2 hours for a no chip. Sore nails throughout the next week. Over priced.

    QT Nails & Spa is one of the best nail salons in McHenry. Originally I started going because they…read morewere open on Sundays which was rare, and I have been going faithfully for over 6 years now. All of the staff is amazing, they're all so kind and skilled at what they do. Each person has their own skill set so it might take you a few times to figure out who can help you the best, but you will definitely leave very happy with your nails. Everyone is very willing to help each other, you will often see the nail techs rotating stations on the busy days to help each other out and it shows how much they care about their customers, they're all trying to make sure everyone is getting a good service. They truly do care that the customers are happy, if you're not satisfied with something or if something breaks, you should always speak up or return to get it fixed, they are always willing to fix something to make sure you're happy. They are all human though and sometimes the salon can get busy but they try to take walk ins as much as possible, and even if it's busy, they at least try to get your feet soaking or your hands wrapped and let you know they'll be with you soon. Dana, the owner, is so talented at what she does, her designs are amazing. If you find a picture of something that you want, you can bring it in and show it to your nail tech and they'll do their best to recreate it for you, and if they can't personally do the design, they'll have another tech come and help just to make sure you get the design that you want. Dana and her sister Queen are constantly keeping up with social media to follow all of the latest trends for nail art and always buying new supplies to make sure they can do the newest designs. They can free style designs on your nails, they've got foils and stickers, a ton of different glitter and cat eye options, air brushing techniques and they'll even mix different elements to get you the perfect color. The color selection is INSANE, they have so much to choose from for no chip and dip, you're instantly provided numerous books of color to choose from and then the techs will get the bottles for you so you don't have to search along the walls. Pedicures here are also top notch, they recently got all new chairs for the pedicure area, including themed chairs for kids. The new chairs have so many massage options and a heat option. They've recently added new pedicure packages so that customers can have a spa-like experience for their feet. All of the prices per packages are listed right away so there's no secret charges which is super important. You're presented with a list of all the packages and allowed to choose, and even after choosing your package, you're then given multiple scents to choose from to make sure you're getting the best experience. QT Nails & Spa is very active on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. They're always posting videos to showcase the unique nails that customers are requesting to provide inspiration for others. I recommend QT Nails & Spa to everyone, it's the only place I'll go to even after moving.

    Saw mixed reviews & gave it shot…read more Called & made 4:30 weekday appointment. They were able to fit me in for a no chip manicure & standard pedicure. It was easy to communicate & they were prepared when I arrived for my appointment. It is a very clean salon, which I've learned isn't easy to find in McHenry. They take pride in their place & it shows. Staff was nice & made you their focus which is always nice. No chip manicure - I went with French. Good job. I struggle to hav nail growth. I did feel like it was a rushed job, but it's been almost a week & they are doing well. My cuticles always need work & I am not that satisfied with how they look 5 days later. Standard pedicure - it was just that. No frills, but in a good way. They were mindful of water temp & your comfort. I asked for them to pick color since they know what looks best & is popular. Happy with the color. Nail shaping & cuticle's could have received more attention, but in no way was it a bad job. Also, probably needed color applied 3x vs 1. My heels are actually soft & they did very thorough pumice work. Many salons have drastically increased prices & its well over $100 for a mani & pedi which is why I hadn't been going as often as usual. Pricing here was very fair & what I think is reasonable: $65-70 No Chip $35 French Tip $5 Standard Pedicure $30 Customers were all also "kind" atmosphere & it wasn't a loud TV overly gossipy & judgy culture which is also great. Will definitely go back to find my person & hope to get consistency.

    Fresh toes for a fun weekend! Beach vibes here! Great place! Definitely going back because I left…read more100% satisfied! Brittany rocked and made these babies silky smooth and gave me handmade fishies! Great great customer service! Sweet employees! Clean! Liked my stupid humor! Comfortable! Equals a very happy me!!
