Crystal Nail & Skin

UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL DAY, then by all means get your nails done here. I’m so unhappy with this place right now.
3:30 — Walk-​in and they’re busy. They ask if I can wait 30 – 40 minutes.
(We all know that means 40 mins.) Sure. And I wait. Patiently.
3:10 — …still waiting…
3:25 — …still waiting…
4:30 rolls around and I know this salon takes over an hour because one lady will do your nails and when she’s done she’ll do your toes, no killing two birds with one stone here…
So.
I do the walk out.

Gave the manicure/​pedicure here two chances.
Likes:
1. Both ladies were polite.
2. Parking in back, I hear. If you can’t find a spot, don’t fret, there’s plenty of street parking available.
3. Normal mani/​pedi was $ 25. If you want a wee bit of massage and a sugar scrub you can get it for an extra $ 5.
4. Never busy.
5. Variety of colors to choose from on their polish wall.
Dislikes:
1. The first mani/​pedi didn’t even survive a week. Within a few days, there were cracks within the nail polish. Weird. It would have been fine if I was trying to go for the cheap chipped marble effect.
2. During the second mani/​pedi, I was rushed out the door even though they had only 1 other customer and it was no where near closing time. Due to the rush, they didn’t allow my nails to dry. As soon as I got back to my car, I noticed that the pedi was completely ruined. The nail polish was smudged all over the place from my shoes. My nails were also dented when I tried to rummage through my purse for my car keys and my credit card to pay them. I wasted $ 30 plus tip.
Conclusion:
Screw it… I’ll just stay home and do my own nails.

I am a regular here, this place is close to where I live. $ 30 for both mani and pedi and they do a pretty good job. its never busy so you always get them working on you together which is nice. they are quiet and sweet and there is parking in the rear which is a nice perk in LA.
