Crystal Nails NYC

I love this place because of how quick and easy it is, and because my manicures always last a whole week after I get them done. They don’t have thousands of colors, but the ones they have are nice and trendy. The top coat is great and only costs $ 1; I get it every time. Service is not top notch but it’s not bad either in my experience; no one has ever been rude to me, and I have come here at least 10 times. I will keep coming because of how well my manicures and pedicures look.

You get what you pay for with a $ 25 mani/​pedi. It was a pretty good, but chipped after a few days.

This has been my go-​to place for a while because it’s very close to my apartment and super cheap, but sadly I need to find a new place now. While the $ 10 for 10 minutes back and foot rubs are one of the best things in my life, the actual mani/​pedis are extremely lacking. For some reason, they always take a super long time. Do not go here for a mani/​pedi if you only have an hour. I always end up staring at the clock like hurry up! I don’t know what it is because it’s not like they’re doing a painstakingly great job. It’s pretty dirty in this place. And last time I went, the guy ripped off part of my nail while taking off my old gel and went to town on my cuticles — I screamed «OW *CURSE WORD*» when he ripped some skin off, and he seemed totally unfazed and unapologetic. It still hurts 2 days later. They should really just be softening and pushing back the cuticle, not ripping it out like that. Yikes.

Some people can do great work and other ones can’t. Bang is pretty much only one there that can do great nail art. I won’t be going back because of sarcasm, and not being happy with my nail art that I will have to go elsewhere today and redo for my vacation. Not to mention my technician, as she has done in the past, acted annoyed to have to do anything extra, which is why I’ve asked previously never to be put with her again.

The filthiest place on the planet. Check the dust and rat droppings behind the pedicure seats. Staff is impolite, one woman in the front looks like the pimp of these women.
Went in because I have dry skin due to an eczema break out that I am super self consious about and little girl with braces was there talking about a skin condition in her native language. So I told her «if you keep talking about me, you’re not goimg to get tipped». Customer service eh?
She did the pedicure wrong and I could have walked up and left when I noticed the rat droppings in the middle of the pedicure but I didn’t because there was only one foot done. Brace Face decided it was okay to start talking about me when I went to dry my clear nail polish toe nails, so she ended up with a cool 75 cents tip because I didn’t have a quarter to give exact change.
Took everything within me to not punch her square in the mouth. Health Department needs to shut this place down.

Didn’t even get my nails done. Abruptly left at the sighting of a COCKROACH!!! How disgusting!!!

Very small salon I came into on a Thursday night. I wanted a gel manicure, my friend wanted a simple pedicure. The experience was fine– nothing special. Wish they could clean up the space more, having boxes of supplies and signs taped to the wall crooked do not give off a good vibe. My gel manicure was not what I expected– polish on my cuticles, had to ask twice for her to clean up the job. Got home and upon further inspection, it was a rushed, amateur job. Now what really made me outraged was my friend who wanted ONLY a simple pedicure. After getting her pedicure she sat down to dry her toenails, when one of the women grabbed her hands and started doing her manicure! She had been asked at least five times if she wanted a manicure (being asked so many times is annoying enough) and made it very very clear that NO, she did not want one. My friend had to literally yank her hands away from the woman to get her to stop! Ridiculous. And a few days later I get a call that they have charged her credit card for both a manicure and pedicure, when all the lady did before my friend yanked her hands away was file three nails. If you want quality work and service, DO NOT go to Crystal Nails.

Great place — efficient, affordable, and good pedicure! Very happy with coming in here. Thank you!!!

We were going to dinner across the street and got there a half hour early. I needed a manicure and thought., why not. Went in and was taken immediately. These are the nicest people! The young man who gave me a manicure, was extremely dill event. He cut every cuticle. The women who work
There were so friendly. It was a joy to be there. The laughing and joyful atmosphere was hard to leave. My nails came out beautifully. When I nicked one as I usually do it was no problem. Quickly fixed. $ 10.50 plus tip well spent. I highly recommend this place. Wish I lived closer!

Worst nail salon ever. Woman did a TERRIBLE JOB. Painted over cuticles and cut my finger twice and told me im sensitive. No — the lady was being too aggressive. She painted my nails half way, like half the nail was still left bare. SERIOUSLY?!
Absolutely terrible. Finished the manicure and it looked like total crap. I dont even want to give them any stars, they did an absolutely terrible job.
The nail tools were not even sanitized and the nail polish was applied all chunky. Very disappointed, the nail tech ruined my day. Worst nail salon ever. I barely say this, but i wasted my money.

OH Vey! So to start off, Let me just say getting my nails done is therapy for me, if its the same for you ! Then keep reading cause this is NOT the place for you, if you could care less and just want the job done, then go here, the prices are reasonable for the area.
Lets begin.
I bought this AWSOME coupon 50 for $ 65 worth. Before purchasing i called the place, to confirm the coupon was valid, and confirm that i can spot the $. I was told it would not be a problem.
Long story short it was a problem !
The nail experience in short– 15 — 20 nail polish colors (lots of duplicates) and NONE of theShellac, match the regular polish (inconvenient)
3 spa chairs for Pedicures. (pure joke two days before xmas)
2 shellac manicure machines, so if you and someone else are doing shellac your looking at one hand done at a time.
This place is good for a simple manicure, anything else beyond that don’t waste your time.

Yikes. I really wish this place was better because it’s located in a really convenient spot for me.
pros: $ 25 mani pedi, they let me put my tip on a credit card even though there’s a sign that says «cash tips only»
cons: bad manicure, it’s already chipped after 1.5 days. they also kept trying to sell me more things. My manicurist kept asking me if I wanted a 10 minute massage because it was $ 30 for everything as a package. I kept saying no until I felt so uncomfortable that I finally said yes. Until I realized it was a calf massage and was like «sorry no» I can massage my calves myself I don’t need to pay $ 5 for that.
Unfortunately I probably won’t be going back because the manicure was not good quality at all. they just want to keep trying to sell you extra stuff to make more money. While I was there, one girl came in and asked them to fix her chipped Shellac mani that she had done just the day before. nope. I get $ 22 mani/​pedi in midtown and way better quality at that.

The staff at Crystal Nails is the best! They are always so sweet and the service is fantastic. My preferred place for mani\pedi. Never disappointed.

Very reasonable on the prices. Be careful when responding to their questions as they sneakily try to offer upcharges such as quick dry nail polish. Or $ 10 massages. My mani-​pedi combo was reasonable at $ 25 and it looks great. Be prepared to spend at least an hour with wait + service. They are limited in staff.

My gel manicure chipped with In 3 days, I went back and made them redo all of my nails with an additional coat, which they were not happy about.
My pedicure only lasted a few days, there’s a
Portion on my big toe that looks like it rubbed off in the middle which I have never seen before. So weird. Don’t go here!

The go to spot in Greenwich village for nails/​wax/​eyebrow service.
Mani Pedi is $ 25. All the staff do a really decent job and the $ 25 deal is all year around.
Brazilian wax is $ 35. The owner Sara always does a thorough job for me. She is very careful and nice.
Eyebrow threading/​wax is $ 10 only. Not bad job at all.
I’m surprised they have so many service provided in one tiny spot.

Small salon. four ladies working here with four tables and four pedi chairs.
I needed a quick manicure and that’s exactly what I got. My cuticles weren’t thoroughly cleaned and the polish was all up on my cuticles… creating a dried crust afterward. For $ 10, I guess that’s what you get. I’d go back for a quick and cheap manicure.
I’d also go back for a quick 10 min. chair massage. That was worth it.

They don’t have as many options in Shellac and they only have CND which is a good thing. I am not a big fan of other Shellac brands.
Overall good service. Great nails! Will go back there if my shellac is intact for at least the next two weeks. Will see if they stand the test of time!

Perfect for a quick $ 10 manicure. The tech was attentive and friendly — in fact all the staff were (4 people total).
I checked in to unlock a free top coat (normally $ 1). The store was totally empty so I think I lucked out on a slightly longer/​better manicure. I still have a few rough areas of skin that I would’ve liked cleaned up, but again — for a $ 10 manicure it was really a fantastic manicure.
Warning the top coat dries quickly and glossy only on top so you still have to be careful. OPI top coat is better than whatever they used. Bring your own if you care.
Voila! Enjoy your nails, ladies!

The nail shop is tiny, but don’t be deceived — great things may come in small packages! The service is stellar and the ladies are so nice! They have a great selection of Essie and OPI polishes, all neatly arranged and color coordinated.
A quick mani is just $ 8.50 & I added the quick dry top coat for a buck more. The mani was perfect and really did try lickety-​split! I likey!
