Crystal Spa

Was never able to schedule an appointment.
I called both the number on Unilocal and the number on my Groupon– no body answered.
I tried consistently for a few days until I reached out to Groupon for help and they told me to wait 3 business days for them to contact me back.
Never got a call back.
A week of calling and waiting, I returned my Groupon.
Is this a fake business?

I had a facial with Lisa great service, very gentle, and clean i will be there every week, great job!

Great service! I regularly go to get a facial done every two weeks and have seen a great improvement in my skin — it now glows!

Rude staff, my friend had a Groupon that was supposed to expire on July 20, and because she couldn’t make it she lend it to me to go and use it that day. I went and made the appointment and the staff nor the Manager had any idea how to use the Groupon voucher and said that it was already redeemed when it wasn’t. Wouldn’t recommend this spa to anyone. They don’t know what they are doing.

I don’t know why this place got such bad reviews. I got a groupon for a classic facial. I upgraded to the Acne facial for just 10 dollars and it was great. My face looks really good. The woman took her time and was so thorough. It was REALLY painful. This is only my second facial ever and i don’t know how painful it should be but I think it was worth the pain. When i upgraded to the Acne facial she said i would get it in place of a massage but she gave me the massage anyways. Excellent value for $ 27. Will come back all the time if i get that price again

So far I am going to give this place a star because I have been sitting here for an half an hour and apart from someone telling me someone would be with me in 5 min, I haven’t even been checked in… it is nice and quiet but it feels short staffed.
After the massage I think I will keep it at one star… unfortunately I jumped each time she answered the phone while doing the facial, especially as it was left right by my ear… I have to hand it to her though she was persistent in trying to sell another session… Unfortunately not relaxing at all… I just couldnt wait for it to end… have been to many facials in flushing and this area but this was by far the most unrelaxing experience.

honestly i wont recommend this place because not worth the price and the service was bad

Came here with a groupon for a facial. Franny was great and the facial was relaxing. The spa was clean and the staff was friendly. It lasted about an hour and I would come back again

Went here for the microdermabrasion. The technician was pleasant and the treatment was good. I agree with another reviewer that I was disappointed with the mask they used. I will not be going back due to the noise level, the girl in the next room had a male friend or client I’m not sure which but they were so loud and the guy had his phone on and he got about 6 calls in 15min. Not a good way to end the facial, I left very annoyed.

I was looking for massage near my house. I tried to visit few places in Elmhurst. Finally, I found Crystal Spa!!! I went there several times for body massage. First time was a good, so I tried to visit once more. When I visited second time, Vicky gave a one hour body massage. It was awesome, so I decided that I keep going this spa. Today, I tried to get facial. Vicky also gave me a basic facial. This service also included little shoulder massage. It was great!!! All of the staff is kind and friendly. Crystal spa is best place in Elmhurst!!!

Got a groupon and came here for a facial. The spa is located next door to one of my favorite hand-​pulled noodle places in queens so it was an awesome lunch followed by a nice relaxing facial (at least that’s what I was hoping).
Got a call at 9pm the night before to confirm I was coming. After I got there, there was a bit of confusion and the room wasn’t ready. I was asked to go into one room and when the girl who led me there saw that it wasn’t made up yet, I waited outside for 5 minutes. I was told I didn’t have to change and so I lay on the bed for another 5 minutes before anyone came in. Meanwhile, I can hear all the chatter around me. This is fine as I am used to Flushing facials.
After the girl came in, she got to work and cleaned my face and gave me a nice long massage (this part was great). Then steam and extraction. She tried to up sell me for microdermabrasion twice but I declined and she let it go. Then she took a facial mask out from fridge and cut open the bag and put the mask on it. While it is nice and cold, it was one that I can likely get myself. I prefer masks that are slightly of higher quality but I guess I only paid $ 17 so shouldn’t complain.
Finally, she put some lotions on my face after the mask was removed (~15min). All in all, the facial itself was less than 1 hour.
Don’t think I will go back. My bf said my face reminded him of hair salons b/​c it smelled very much of chemicals. :(

Went with my friends with a Groupon! came out to only 17 bucks! It was really nice thy did a good job and it was super relaxing. they took out and extracted all the gunk in my face and I felt so refreshed afterwards! Definately come here!

If you’re looking for reasonable prices with great results this is the place for you! I purchased a living social voucher for a classic facial treatment and was pleasantly surprised. During the treatment I was offered to pay an additional $ 10 for an acne treatment which was well worth it. I’ve been too a handful of spas for facials, and this is not a posh upscale place. However, it’s clean, the service is great, and the prices are affordable even without a voucher. I’d recommend it, and would go again.

我做了很多家spa 真的他家做的太恶心 千万不要去做 你的皮肤都会掉 我做的去鼻头的 第二天鼻头全破了 我打过去电话 他们就说 你想要我怎么办 真的手法特别烂！！！！！

Came here for a Classic Facial with a voucher from livingsocial with a friend and we were placed in the same room. The place is nothing fancy but if you’re looking to get your pores cleaned for an affordable price, this is the place to go! However, if you’re looking for a quiet relaxing spa… you might be disappointed. When my friend and I was placed in the room we could hear very clearly of the chit chat going on in the room next door and it was continuous… but we don’t mind that too much.
The aestheticians are polite, gentle and patient. The extractions were one of the least ones I’ve experienced and I did leave with clean pores.
I have acne prone skin and was offered an upgrade to an acne treatment for 20 dollars extra and I’m glad i took it. The procedure was not explained very well but I figured worth a try (the aestheticians spoke limited English!!).
It started with the usual cleansing, exfoliation (non-​abrasive), massage and then steaming, then extraction.
Two machines was operated on my face, the first one did sounded kinda scary, it constantly had some electricity sound to it, kinda like zap zap zap zzzz buzzz? The second one was a very cool metal object, it kinda felt like ice? but without the water running all my face. Then something was placed on my face (again not much explanation, reading the pamphlet i assume this is the calming mask) and she began to briefly massage my face again. Then a minty mask (felt very very good… lol) for prob 20mins?. Then the usual finish cleanse… moisturize and so on
Although I wasn’t sure what the machines were, when I left all of the painful acne have reduced in size and irritation. If you have acne, I highly recommend giving it a try, looking back at the menu I believe the original price is 58?
Also for living social ppl, at the end they offer the same price voucher which will not expire :) AWESOME! lol
PS. Try to bring enough cash :) they do take cards but its better to pay with cash and ull find out why
update: after a week, all bumps, i repeat ALL bumps are gone! although I’m not sure if the treatment had any affect on the scars as i didn’t pay enough attention to them before to notice a difference.

I really love this place because it is clean, quiet, and elegant. Tina and Tiffany are attentive and nice to me .we always have great conversations while doing the facial. I love hydrate products .it absolutely improved my skin conditions and price is reasonable (60 $ or so) every time I do facials she also gives me relaxing massage sons shoulders. As a exclusive member, I really enjoy here. Best if you buy whole packages.

Came for a Groupon for 90 minute microdermabrasion treatment.
The microdermabrasion was good. Tiffany was thorough overall and made sure I had even texture before moving on. Then the steam and cleansing. I highly appreciate that they leave the steam on for a lot longer than other places. I actually felt my pores opening and my skin getting some air. Extractions; as always hurt. But she doesn’t persist on a stubborn pimple if it’s not working. Thank goodness!
That all passed so quickly. Immediately following extraction, a quick wipe down and moved onto application of mask. I loved this because my skin felt cool and tightened.
Now onto the cons. My treatment only lasted about an hour and the only reason why it was not 50 was because she left the mask on longer. (Which is good)! But if I’m paying for a 90 minute treatment I’m expecting 90 minutes.
One thing I can’t stand is them reusing the same water over and over again. They use the same water to wipe off my face when I came in and then when the treatment was complete. Doesn’t seem very clean to me.
All in all, not bad compared to the other Chinese facial spots I’ve been too. But still not a fan.

Went here for a facial with a living social deal. If you’re looking for an exclusive, sit in the waiting room with a glass of champagne in your hand, this is not the spa for you. Although the rooms are partitioned off the walls don’t go all the way up to the ceiling so you can hear others in the rooms next to you. It was a very busy day for them (Saturday) and the person attending me was going in and out a lot.
Having said all of this I still really enjoyed my experience. She was very attentive, let me know my problem areas without judging me, and left my skin glowing afterward. She also recommended this one hydrating product which she gave to me at a discount and said I would start feeling the results in a couple of weeks– she was right! Also gave me great deals on their other services. Definitely coming back.

They really give a very good service. and they also make me face get better. Thank you :)

If you are the customer of Hong Yuan Beauty Salon, you will know Tina is the «go-​to» masseuse when you go there. Now they have the second store… bigger and brand new everything… with the same low cost with still same quality… I have no mind at all to make all my massage appointments here :)
