Crystal Nail Spa

Good place for mani/​pedi. Clean and nice service. I like that they have a lot of staff so you can walk in without an appointment and not wait too long.

I think the prices are too expensive here but it’s clean and they do a nice job on manicures/​pedicures. Highly recommend a gel manicure. It lasts forever!

The only reason why I gave them one star is because I had to or I couldn’t post. I went there for a pink and white fill. The woman doing my nails did not say hello, how are you, not one word. The entire time I was uncomfortable and I tried explaining to her multiple times what I needed. She left glue on my first finger and put the acrylic over it after I asked her multiple times not to. She could understand me fine but kept saying she knew what she was doing. She shaped them wrong and I asked her again to please fix it with no response. After she was done I said I was not going to pay for the service and was told by the «manager» that if I didn’t pay they would need to take off the nails they had just filled. I will not be back and I tell everyone I know to not go to them. The service is terrible and overpriced.

By best friend lives in St Pete so I have visited from Minnesota 6 times over the past few years. Today was my 4^th visit to this nail salon. That should tell you something about the experience. No major frills. But it’s clean and comfortable. Lots of technicians on hand… I never have an appointment and never have to wait. The price is slightly less than I generally pay at home for comparable services. I haven’t been disappointed yet and I’m sure I’ll be back!

Comparable prices. Never an issue getting in with an appointment or as a walk in. Very polite staff.

Nice staff, clean establishment. My pedi looks good, but it was probably the fastest pedi I have ever had. I have had better pedicures in the past but I’ll be trying a new salon next time. For the price you can definitely get better treatments elsewhere

I got a mani and pedi and I won’t be going back. The lady doing my nails was pretty rude. She made a comment when she was taking my polish off my hands «your skin so dry.» In my opinion that’s not true, but true or not, that’s a little insensitive. So I thought to myself well she just cut her own tip in half, but if she does a good job I’ll get over it. That was wishful thinking on my part. I paid before she actually applied my polish so as not to mess up my mani. Then after she applied polish, I noticed on one of my fingers there was a little streak where my nail was showing through. I asked her to go over that one nail with another coat and she flatly refused, saying it didn’t need it. At that point I thought if I hadn’t paid already I wouldn’t have tipped her at all. I don’t care if she thinks I need it, I had just paid for a service and if I want another coat of polish, just give me another coat. I went with a friend and literally 15 minutes after we left the salon, my friend’s mani was already chipped where the woman who did her nails had visibly not applied the top coat over the whole nail.
Bottom line: Mediocre mani and mediocre service. The pedi was just fine but overpriced. I would not recommend to a friend.

I went in yesterday afternoon and I wanted a manicure and pedicure and needed to remove gel nails. They didn’t mention they would be charging to remove the nails until after they had already done the process. The girls at the salon basically did not acknowledge me or say anything to me the entire time I was there. I basically felt like I was an outsider and did not feel comfortable at all– not the way you want to feel when you are spending money to get pampered. I have two broken nails that the technician didn’t even acknowledge and wasn’t going to file them until I actually said something.
So, after I sat here feeling like I was in the third reich, my nails were finally finished. I paid them (even though it was a painful experience), and it was WAY overpriced, especially for the quality.
I get home, and try to forget about the whole experience, at least happy I have painted nails. But lo and behold, an hour after I leave I have three YES THREE cracks in my nails. Seriously?
All in all, get a drunk third grader to do your nails… they would probably do better.

A little on the pricey side, but clean and relaxing.
I’ve been here several times, and they’re one of the better options in St Pete. They’re located by the publix/​JJ/​chipotle/​pei Wei on 66^th street. All of their tools are sterilized and come out in the bags.
They have an abundance of girls working, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long.
For a gel soak off and a regular mani, I paid $ 20. This is about $ 5 more than I’m use to spending, but the ease, comfort and cleanliness make it justifiable.

This place was recommended to me by a friend of mine. She goes there all the time. It was a busy Sunday afternoon there, but I didn’t have to wait too long. I wish the water was warmer in the tub where my feel were soaking. The lady doing my feet apologized for the wait, but they were slammed and I didn’t have an appointment, so I wasn’t worried. I had a basic pedi and was very happy with the result. My feet are now soft and my nails look great!

I just recently visited Crystal Nail for the first time. I had a nice experience. The salon was clean, the staff was friendly, and I didn’t have to wait. I received a manicure and pedicure during this visit. The price list was fairly priced. I will be returning back to the salon.

Took my mom here for the first time and absolutely loved it! I called ahead to make an appointment but was told to just come on in. We were helped instantly! Everyone here is very friendly and did an amazing job. My mother and I both got pedicures and pink & white full sets that look beautiful! I also got my eyebrows done and they came out great as well. The salon is very modern and clean! Will definitely be returning & recommend to anyone who wants to be pampered!

I do not recommend going to the nail salon ever. Ever since Joe sold it it has become like the nail salon on Seinfeld. Half the staff has already left, the new owner has upped the prices, and they try to upsell you to death. when I accidentally called the store to ask for Joe the owner was rude and hung up on me. if you want your nails done right and by someone who cares go see Joe up at the super Walmart in Pinellas Park. He will take care of you!

My cousin and I bond over pedis and manis so whenever I visit we go get one together. This place was clean with nice pedicure massage chairs. They were busy and there were not enough stylists so we had to wait. Several people had to wait, I’d say it took about a half an hour before I got started. But the pedicure was great, wonderful massage and I can’t complain about the manicure. This place was also cheaper than northern va prices so that’s awesome :) I’d go here for a bonding experience anytime!
I will say the techs are not as friendly as most places and they do try to get you to upgrade your pedicure to a more expensive one so you have to stick to your guns!

I had my mind set on getting a pedicure one Friday night with my my best friend. We had been looking forward to it all week. We never know what time we will wind up getting out of work so we didn’t bother making an appointment at our favorite place Poshe nail spa on 4^th. Turns out they couldn’t take us as they had just taken their last 3 customers of the night. So we searched Unilocal for a nail salon with good reviews nearby that was open past 6 pm. We called two other places before we found Crystal Nail Spa. They said they would take us as the last customers. We drove over and they rushed us from the moment we got there– I should’ve known better. I left there feeling more stressed than when I arrived. A little less than a day later some strange BUMPS started appearing on my legs. It turns out I had contracted a STAPH INFECTION from the salon. My nail technician was not wearing gloves as my friends tech was. In the midst of rushing us through there they must not have washed out the tub after the last customer sat there. Either way, I am now going through a very painful infection all over both my legs where she had scrubbed and massaged. The doctor said it is more common than you think to pass an infection of this nature at a nail salon. They are clipping and prodding at your skin and if they have open cuts on there hands they can be spreading it very easily– along with other germs. I will never go back again and I hope nobody does. I AM MISERABLE– in pain and can’t expose my legs for weeks.

Always a good pedicure. And they have a couples room for a pedicure in the back.

Pros: Final product was good quality, staff very friendly
Cons: prices a little high, always trying to upsell pressures, and most importantly I am still in pain. I had a pink and white fill and a pedicure and both girls filed me so hard and rough I am still in pain 2 days later with sore/​scabs/​bleeding on my finger and toes. I told them at least 3x they were hurting me. It was not worth it to me. Find somewhere else.

I love Crystal Nail Spa. I have been going there for over two years and wouldn’t use
anyone else. I have never had a bad experience there and the owner Joe, always takes the time to say hello. Jenny is my favorite and I look forward to seeing her every few weeks.

It was a miserable experience. I went in to have my fake nails removed and got upsold to a pedicure while I got this done. Well played. They attempted to remove my nails with uv gel polish remover while I adamantly explained I don’t have uv gel polish on my nails for 30 minutes. Surprise, my nails showed no progress after 30 minutes!
I kept explaining them they were doing it wrong but after an hour they refused to listen to me and kept trying to sell me more products and longer massages to wait for my nails to be removed. I am not sure the woman even understood what I was saying.
After 1 ½ hours, I got up and washed my hands and paid for my pedicure and left. I will never go back again.

I am an annual visitor of St. Petersburg visiting my family. This morning is was raining so us four girls talked about getting a pedicure. I checked out Unilocal for some reviews of local places around and there wasn’t too many that jumped out at me except this one. The previous reviewer, Lisa R., was dead on. This salon was amazing, with very reasonable prices for what you get. I called ahead before we went to make sure all four of us could get pedi’s at the same time and sure enough the man on the phone said he had four girls there, ready to go.
We walked in to a very new and clean spa, and they were expecting us. They had 12 pedi chairs so there was plenty of room for us. The chairs were great, full body massages. They offer you anything to drink, even red or white wine, which of course we had… and it was good. The service was very nice and accommodating. The two girls that did the best on the pedi’s were Tran and Ana.
Because of this great experience, we have now declared our girls pedi treatment a must every time we visit.
