Krystal Nails

So this is not the first time that I’m getting my nails done at this location. Actually they temporarily moved to 317 Glenwood Ave. in the former the weave shop location; A few doors down.
As you enter the shop on your left-​hand side the manager of the shop is sitting there.
This lady is very rude and Un-​professional. I greeted her and told her that I had gave the shop I’ll call earlier to let them know I wanted to get white tips.
Instead of her greeting me she decided to yell and tell me to go sit down.
Not only that she got into an altercation with 2 other customers.
She does not know how to speak to people at all.
And that’s why they are not getting five stars.
Anyways Cindy did my nails and I must say she did a beautiful job on them. She picked the UV gel colors and gave me French tips. Love it. Cindy was very sweet professional and customer service oriented.
Her boss is not.
Anyway they’re supposed to be at 317 Glenwood Ave. for the next two weeks.
Cindy told me that in two weeks her salon will be returning to 281 Glenwood Ave. to the main location. Cindy also said that the salon is will be completely renovated.

I really love this place. The space its a little small and the parking is a challenge but there is a parking garage being built so that shouldn’t be an issue for long. The ladies there are really nice and I like that I can ask about the different nail options and they explain whereas other places they just slap on acrylic and don’t bother even asking you what you want. I wish they offered Sundays. I also take my 5 yr old and they treat her really nice and they don’t slack just because she’s younger. They take their time.

I come to Krystal’s on a regular basis for a crystal set with gel color and a design. My real nails are hideous! Cindy is the only person that I allow to do my nails but the others are popular among patrons as well. Cindy does my nails quickly and always puts a beautiful design on my nails. This place is pretty decent for the money. I have cheated on this place with a few others but I always end up coming back. I guess I’m here to stay for now

I love getting my nails done here ! My mother has been coming here for 20 years and I’ve been coming here for 5 years. There really clean, affordable and really friendly. My mother and I both get our nails done by Joanne. They also own another salon in maplewood ! I would def recommend everyone to get there nails done here.

Not that bad of a place. It’s small so the mani/​pedis are affordable. They only take cash. I mean makes sense, who wants to get their CC number stolen especially in Bloomfield (just saying). The manager is really nice and so is everyone who works there.

Never again will I come here nor will I recommend this place to anyone. I’ve been getting my nails done since I was about ¹⁴⁄₁₅ (7years) the Bloomfield area. I started with T&D around the corner but a few months ago I decided to switch it up and try out something new. I then started going to Hot Nails across the street from Mandee and I would definitely recommend them (they don’t have a big polish selection though, whomp)
First of all this place has a big ass pit bull running around. Friendly dog but they seemed surprised when a customer asked them to «get their dog». Who wants to be at a salon with a dog sniffing up on them.
Second they tried to tell me they could only put one coat of paint on my nails if I wanted the gel over it. Bullshit. I’ve been getting my nails with gel over it and not once have I had a problem with two coats but they really tried to convince me that they could only do one. All ladies should know how tacky once coat of paint looks. I made them do two
Third, I had to go back the next day cause without even really doing anything my acrylic chilled at the top of middle finger nail. I went back the next day to get it fixed but there woulda been a long wait so she told me to come back the next day. I didn’t even bother, just filed it down.
Now fourth and what brought me to do this review is not even two weeks after getting my nails done half of the acrylic on my thumb nail has broken off. I’m glad my real nail didn’t break with it. I’m lazy and can go ¾ weeks with an acrylic and not have any lifting, breakage of anything. So the fact that this is the first time this is happening just tells me it’s because they did a shitty ass job.

I was recommended to this salon by a close friend after my beloved manicurist moved out of state. Trying to find someone who did quality nails was becoming a chore and I was becoming discouraged at finding a suitable replacement. I am so glad for the recommendation. I was seen by Nancy, who did an excellent job on my full set and pedicure. All of the staff were friendly. It was around the holiday time during my initial visit and the shop had snacks, chocolate and drinks available for patrons. So glad I was introduced to a place where my nails did not break/​lift in less than two weeks. I am definitely a new and loyal customer to Krystal Nails!
