Crystal Day Spa

My tips were done well, which is why the two extra stars are on this review. My friend, on the other hand, waited 2 and a half hours for a REGULAR manicure. We were told 15 minutes, we waited around a half hour. Fine. Eventually, they began to work on my tips and filing her nails. In the middle of filing, my friend’s manicurist asked if it would be okay if she went to help another customer with what I assume was a waxing. My friend said sure, but her manicurist then disappeared for an hour and a half and then had the audacity to ask my friend to move from her seat so someone else (who walked in after us) could have their nails done. This was unacceptable. No less, they then proceeded to move her jacket and toss is behind my back onto my chair with no concern as to if I was comfortable or not. Her hands were left with lotion and gloves that left them looking like raisins. This was more of an annoying experience than a relaxing one. I believe coco did my nails so they were done well.

Can’t say enough great things! These ladies are super sweet and accommodating and the place is super clean. They use single-​use tools and sterilize all their equipment.
Echo was my pedicurist the last few times I’ve been there and she’s great! I’ve only ever gotten a pedicure so I can’t rate anything else but they do have an extensive list of services and based on my friend’s manicure, they seem to do a great job. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years now and can honestly say I haven’t had a bad experience thus far. All of the employees are extremely friendly and often interact with the clientele, which you don’t typically see at a nail salon. And to further boast about the staff, they once stayed about an hour past closing to make sure my mani & pedi was absolutely perfect for my honeymoon (which I happened to be leaving for the next day)!
Prices aren’t that bad either: gel mani for $ 25, reg mani for $ 10, and reg pedi for $ 15 to name a few.

This review is not based on their actual work. We came in on a Saturday around 1pm and was turned away even though they had three empty chairs open. They told us to come back at 430pm and we were okay with that. However, when I asked to use the restroom, the lady states «no, for customers only» I thought that was really rude and bad customer service. In fact, we never went back at 430 because we were turned off by how rude they were. It won’t kill you to let me use the restroom!

Probably my top pick of the nail salons in the Forest Hills/​Kew Gardens/​Rego Park area. It is consistently a solid experience and the interior is very trendy, modern and most importantly, clean. I have found their gel to be the longest lasting of the 10 or so salons I have gone to in the past which is definitely a plus. I also really appreciate that they operate a website. A lot of salons in the area are outdated in this area, tending not to have online access. They post the pricing for services online as well which is great because at least I can come in knowing how much I will be paying for my manicure or pedicure. My only issues are that they do get really busy, the pedicures are not the cheapest compared to other local salons and the meter parking (I have accumulated a few tickets during my visits… my fault, of course!)
TIP: Call ahead of time before coming in to see if there is a wait – or call to just make an appointment if you know when you’ll be heading there.

This is my second visit with Coco for silk wraps. I have gone to other nail specialists and Coco is one of the best by far. She listens and really takes her time to make it perfect. I’m already planning my next appointment!

Average all the way around. For $ 15.68 with tax at least it’s not a rip off, however, the pedicure was nothing to talk about and not worth the 20 minute walk here.
Felt rushed even though no one was waiting. Entire pedicure was no longer than 20
Minutes. And they don’t use a razor but want to charge you $ 10 extra for callous treatment that doesn’t usually work anyway.
So I am still in the hunt for a good forest hills pedicure where they take their time, remove callouses, give a decent leg/​foot rub. Maybe I’m dreaming …

I’ve been here before and they do a decent job however my last few trips to this spa wasn’t good. Onetime i went around ⁶⁴⁵⁄₇ ish and they was kinda busy but not a lot instead of telling me it’s Goa take (x) amount of time they just told me right away that’s there busy and can’t see me. There spa pedicures are nice but for the price is not worth it it only last about 10 minutes and that’s about it !

Came here on a whim, have been looking for a new nail place relatively close to my place. I was happy to see how much time was spent in prepping my nails prior to my gel mani. Usually at other salons, they don’t nearly spend as much time as they did here! I also thoroughly enjoyed that they cut my cuticles without me having to grimace from pain!
Additionally, the gel color selection was amazing, which included glitters.
Gel mani $ 25 (whether or not you have gel on previously)
Thank you Coco and Cindy!

Great little salon really loved my experience there. They were very busy which always tell you it’s a great place. I started with a pedi and all the chairs were taken for manis so the lady started doing my mani while I was still in the pedi chair. It was $ 27 for the mani pedi and I gave a $ 5 tip. Will definitely come here again.

The only nail salon you need to go to! In a nutshell, their prices are pretty much the same as the cheap, and not sanitized places but they are no where near that. You can get a regular mani pedi and itll feel like it was a special one. I can only imagine their special ones! They treat you very well. They recommend making an appointment but they dont turn away walk ins. They are very professional and dedicated to giving you a great experience. They use disposable sets and they use freshly sanitized tools for every client. So sanitation isnt even a problem. I like that they dont have the tools soaking in chemicals that supposedly «sanitize» them. I come all the way from elmhurst to forest hills just for this nail salon and considering that there is a million nail salons around my neighborhood, i find that to be quite a compliment. Dont even hesitate. Just come and make an appointment now!

Lady who did acrylic didn’t do a great job with my almond shape nails. Wasn’t happy she made them SO short didn’t look good. It wAs expensive and she was nasty

This place is awesome!!!
The shop is modern and chic. It is the cutest nail shop I have ever seen! The employees are kind and welcoming, shop is clean, modern vibe, cute décor and setup, upbeat music… I lalalalalove it!

I have been coming here since opening day and I love it. The cleanliness the service everybody here is willing to help
I started doing eyelash extensions and they are beautiful.
Coco does all my work and runs a beautiful place

I finally found a nail salon that consistently gives me great results whenever I go! & trust me I am a perfectionist so it has always been hard for me to find a great nail salon. Very neat job! Definitely recommend!

Still the best nail salon in the area. After all that NYT buzz about the abuse of nail salon workers, I noticed that the place is kept well-​ventilated, the nail technicians wear masks and exam gloves, and the bosslady Coco is authoritative but not at all unkind. So I feel okay about coming here even if I’ll still allow myself to be guilted into overtipping.
$ 25 for a regular mani-​pedi but well worth it because they do the hot lotion thing (like at Bliss) and my mani lasted almost two weeks. Totally planning to get a massage here because they gave me a little shoulder rub while drying my nails and it was maaaagical.

Yes!!! I finally fount a high end eyelash spot outside of the city where I can go to. I am extremely happy with my nails & eyelashes. My gel mani & pedi were done immaculately for just $ 44 plus full mink eyelashes for just $ 70. Tia did my nails & Esther my eyelashes. They also gave me complimentary tea. Nice ambiance. I will certainly be going back. 5 stars from me. Just wish it wasnt right off Queens Blvd. have to deal with parking & not getting any tickets

Worse experience ever, I specifically called in for an appointment, was told I can come in at 3:30pm only for them to make me wait 20 minutes! I even came early so I wouldn’t miss my appointment.
When I asked how much longer they were going to be before they will even start on me, everyone there just sat there and looked at me blankly
I asked to speak to the manager, still no response from any one there and there were 5 girls there working!
How this place is even worthy of its high ratings is beyond me — this was customer service at its worse. It actually was customer service at its best in ANNIHILATING the customer
No apology for making me wait, ignored me when I asked how much longer, ignored me when I asked to speak to a manager
Even as I started calling other salons to see who can take me, and even as I was walking out after I found a salon with availability, none of the girls there addressed me at all
If your not going to respect the appointments customers make with you, when someone calls in, don’t make the appointment! It’s incredibly frustrating as I had been here before and my previous experiences here were nothing like this.
Businesses out there take note — here is a perfect example of how to lose customers

I come here to get my lashes done by cocoa and a fillin in and pedi!
I absolutely love this place!
Gorgeous and clean and very easy to speak to the girls. Highly recommended :)

This place is very clean and sanitary.
The staff is super nice and professional!
Ask for Coco to do the most beautiful UV Gel Set!
Ask for Nicole for the most thorough nails cleansing!
They do a great job in waxing too!
Reasonable prices! $ 20 for both mani and pedi!
Make an appointment because they get really busy!
TIP: Get a stamp card!
