I'm visiting Amsterdam from the US. I was in dire need of a mani/pedi, and trying to find a nail…read moresalon where you don't have to make an appointment a week in advance seemed impossible. Most of the businesses seemed *medical* and very high-end with fees to underscore their specialness. I kept looking online and found Crystal Nails. Best thing is that you can walk-in, which I did, and I was told to come back in 30 minutes. When I returned, they took me fairly quickly. The pedicure was heaven, and the person doing the job was great. I then had a manicure, which was also excellent. If you find yourself in Amsterdam needing a nail salon, I highly recommend Crystal Nails. You should know in advance that they only take cash, and no credit/debit cards.

OMFG My feet came out crustier and worse than what I walked in with !!! Lol like it's just crazy…read morehow I had to experience it. But in all seriousness, is pretty much a local hole in the wall place. I guess if you've never been to an actual professional salon, some people would think its a decent basic nail place.. Not even decent.. well for one, I am a professional nail tech myself. I gave the place the benefit of the doubt and gave it a try on a whim. I've been traveling for two weeks and needed mainly my foot scrubbed and massaged. There was also a huge language barrier and all I asked for was the pedicure. Which as advertised €20. I also had gel polish on from a prior treatment. (Was an extra €5 to remove.. ok sure.) They had no idea how to take it off except to scrape and file the gel off my nails down thin to where it was hurting and still is. The nail wasn't even buffed. It's rough as you'll see.. the cuticles not trimmed.. but honestly I was scared for her to even cut me so whatever. The skin around my nail beds is sensitive from so much filing, they trimmed my toe nails down very short to the quick, uneven and jagged.. I couldn't even complain. They didn't understand. So much happened and it was almost comical but traumatizing.. I remained calm and tried telling her I didn't need anymore servicing, ended up paying €31 instead of €20. PROS: None honestly.. By the end of my service, one lady there who is Thai did speak English.. (too late for me) CONS: It is an EXTRA €2 for Polish, no base or top coat either (Not included in pedi service) EXTRA €4 for a 5 minute Massage (also not included in the €20 service) €8 for 10 minute foot massage. And no gel/shellac options either. No actual pedicure chairs with tub, just a plastic cleaning bucket they bought, wrapped with plastic and filled with a little warm sink water.. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY unless your a minimalist of such things and just don't care about your toes nails.

Just left Bella Brasil. I must say my experience was great. I called yesterday to see if they can…read moretake a walk in appt. No one answered the phone but they called me back in less than 30 mins. They tried to accommodate my walk in request but we decided on an early appt today. I liked the set up of the place. Very open and spacious. The wax room was clean and bright. The process was painless which was a surprise as I have used the same waxer for the past 3+ years. Overall they did a great job! I definitely recommend this place. I will be back here for my wax service when in Amsterdam

Just chose this salon because it was 1st on Yelp list and closest to my hotel. Not sure why - and…read morewalked past several dozen more. They took my late appointment, which was very nice and accommodating (6:30 pm). When I showed up I had to ring the bell because the door was locked. I was not taken back for an additional 15-20 minutes (she was running late from prior appointment). Thank goodness I only booked a half leg wax. Was a bit grossed out that she used a metal spreader (looks like a cake spreader) for my legs and kept reusing in the wax. Unsure why as there were wood sticks next to the wax. Gross but I'm hoping it was my fresh wax and not used again. Certainly wouldn't have tolerated that for a bikini or other wax. The ladies were nice. The hygiene is just not up to my standards.
