the nail tech here is so so good!!! 10/10 recommend. he is so talented. i drive 20 min just to get my nails done here because he is just that good. i paid 53 for the custom nails and gave a 7 dollar tip, so 60. which is really not horrible for good quality nails. UPDATE i'm sorta disappointed only bc one of my nails broke after only 6 days and it's kinda frustrating because they usually last me 3 weeks. last set i came in with from the same nail tech had two nails that were completely off. just frustrating because now i have to go back after a week. read more

Terrible service! I'm a long time customer and today, the owner charged me $5 to remove gel polish, when my nails were done there. You lost a customer. I will never go back there, but also you lost many of my friends that I've recommended. read more

Absolutely LOVE Crystal Nails! Under new ownership for a while now, and I have had nothing but amazing service. My powder /gel manicures last a long time and love that it is not a rush job like many other salons. Give them another try! read more

Nail tech seemed upset that we arrived during a little bit of snow. Burned my nail several time because the speed of the drill and length of time was too much. Cuticle Cutter was NOT sterilized and he used the same one on my daughter. Here's a photo of what I asked for and what I got. I had the length and he ruined it. All the nails are different lengths and shapes. I won't be going back. read more

Crystal Nails and Spa - Left: what I wanted. Right: what I got (lol) - Nail Salons Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

The staff at Crystal Nails are wonderful. Always friendly and polite. They give wonderful pedicures and foot massages! Highly recommend.

Clean salon, owner seems nice. I've been here twice. However my second experience was not like the first. the young girl that did my gel manicure was very unfriendly. I think it's safe to say everyone looks forward to the 2 min shoulder massage we pay for and she literally might as well have been brushing me with a feather. She had her back positioned to the owner to make it look like she was actually massaging me, in fact she was just pretending to and it was so unbelievable. It's unfortunate because I live so close and I would have been a regular. read more

Prices are good, $35 for SNS powder and the variety of colors is great! There are many colors for Uv gel as well. Make sure you call and get an appointment, it gets busy here. read more

Crystal Nails and Spa - SNS powder $35 with a sticker design. - Nail Salons Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

I moved to a neighboring town a year ago so I've tried a few different places. I was so unhappy with the prices and the work around here that I'd still go to my spot in Queens. Well, Crystal is even better than my go to! They are just so nice, friendly, clean and moderate prices. They don't rush which is sooooo important for me and they listen to your wants. My girl knows me all too well where I don't have to tell her what I want, she just knows and does it. read more

I got exactly what I wanted! Incredible staff and amazing shaping skills! Will be back! read more

Crystal Nails and Spa - Nails by Ivy - Nail Salons Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

I recently switched over to this nail salon for powder gel nails. They have better prices for the area. The salon is always immaculate and I've walked in and had no issue. They have a wide variety of colors for powder gel manicures. Overall, would recommend if you are in the area of Newtown/ Monroe border. My nails look great and they always last for at least 3 weeks!! read more

Crystal Nails and Spa - Powder Nails in Forget-Me-Not - Nail Salons Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

Average Asian nail salon with caveats. One of the tech's had her small child in the salon who had no concept of boundaries and touched and poked me multiple times while her mother paid no attention. I want to relax when getting my nails done personally. My acrylic fill turned out ok, polish job was below average as you can see in the photo attached. The shaping is decent. My tech was a little unfriendly but maybe she was stressed about having to bring her child, and the other who gave me a massage and pedicure was alright but gave a pretty weak massage honestly. Won't return. Did appreciate the sterile tools and large selection of gel polish but those were the only positives. read more

Prices are decent and service was good. I was a walk in with my fiancé and we both got pedicures. He opted for the milk spa pedicure and I did the lavender. They use the hot stones to massage and do a great job at cleaning and scraping off calluses at the bottom of the feet. When we walked in it was empty so I'm not sure how it differs to them being full. But overall my pedicure was relaxing. I did gel on my toes and nails and got a little heart design. Lol could've gone without the design but what's an extra $5? Overall happy with the service and they gave a free rose for Valentine's Day which I thought was such a cute touch to the end of the service. They also give your complimentary shoulder massage. I think they're great and they take time to make sure your nails come out the way you want them too. As for my fiancé, he works in construction and so his feet were terrible lol but they took the extra time to really get his calluses and shape his toes as well as giving a great foot massage. He felt so pampered and relaxed lol. If your looking for a new place in Newtown I'd recommend it.. plus there's a TJ max in the center so you can always go shopping afterwards lol, my fiancé wasn't a fan of that, but I dragged him along anyway!

I usually don't add negative reviews, but I was super disappointed about how my nails turned out and the service under the new ownership. This salon used to be my regular salon when I lived in the area. I had to wait a bit of time which is understandable during COVID, but the guy who did my nails rushed and the day after my nail cracked off and then two days after another nail chipped very badly, and these are powder nails. I would steer clear. read more

I love coming here it is the best place I have ever been for acrylics and dip powder! They do everything from nails to lash extensions and massages!! Kris and Ivy are awesome as always, they always do an amazing job. So many people I know go here and have the best time hanging out and we always leave with the best looking nails.The staff are always friendly and welcoming. They have great prices and a very nice looking salon and a very large polish collection full of choices.i would definitely recommend!! read more

Went here to get a gel manicure around 5 pm ( 2 hours until closing) and I was under the impression I was inconveniencing them. The guy who did them seemed to be rushing to get me out the door and was very rough when using the drill. He only filed about 7 of my nails and i had to ask for him to file a nail that was clearly uneven... Would not go back or recommend! read more

Just sent a resident over from the Assisted Living facility in town for a manicure. $12 for one coat of clear polish. And gave $3 as a tip. $15 total. Really? Will find another nail salon in town that doesn't take advantage of senior citizens!!! read more

Both my gel nails and my friends fall off every time we go there after only a week and we don't have the time to keep going back in to get them fixed . Whatever products they use are obviously very cheap but they are expensive nail salon for the work they do . read more

I came in for a pedicure and the girl kept trying to sell me a special pedicure. After I told her I do not want anything special just a regular pedicure she would not let me put my feet in the water. She proceeded to clean my toes, file the nails and attempt to remove ingrown nail without soaked feet. The purpose is to soak the feet to make it easier to clean and less painful for the customer. The girl refused to let me after I asked her twice and explained my reasoning. She finally let me put my feet in the water which was cold, only to make me remove them after a few seconds so she can start to apply polish. Overall HORRIBLE experience I will not go back. read more

I love this salon! I went for the very first time a couple of weeks ago and I had an amazing experience! Everything is so clean and organized. The lady that did my nails was amazing and I also had a facial done which blew my mind. I felt so relaxed!! The facial was so nice and refreshing. Will definitely be going again! read more

The paint job on my toes was not great and less than a week later, is already coming off. My nails have lines on the side where he missed part of my nail. The actual pedi had a VERY short massage and I had to pay extra for the foot file. The guy was friendly and what I had of a short massage was decent. But kinda pricey and very basic mani pedi quality. read more

This is my go to nail salon every time I get a mani or pedi for the last 3 years. Always happy when I leave never a bad experience. One time I had to wait about 30 minutes past my appointment but that's what happens when other clients are late to theirs, understandable, and the owner gave me a discount with out hesitation. All technicians are skilled and double check what you would like to have done and give great impThey never fail to please me! read more

Not impressed, the process felt rushed rather than relaxing. It's been 3 days since I went and a few nails are already chipping. I also was a bit concerned about cleanliness only because I noticed the man who was doing my nails took the tool to cut my cuticles from out of his jacket pocket and when he was done he did not sanitize the pliers. Plenty of other nail spas in Newtown that I will be going to instead. read more

I understand they are under new management but I had a great experience regardless! Nancy was amazing! She repeatedly asked me if both my gel nails and eyebrows were what I had wanted them to look like. They have a great coupon and were very friendly. I will continue going here! read more

Been here a few times. The service is great, the staff is very friendly and they are very good with COVID precautions - social distancing, temperature checks, plexiglass between you and the manicurists, sanitizing.

This was by far the WORST experience I have ever had at a nail shop. I absolutely would NOT recommend going here. There are other nail shops in Newtown. I arrived with my two young daughters to get everyone's nails done. Never have I been to a "run of the mill" nail shop that will not take me because I do not have an appointment. If this was a spa I would completely understand the need for an appointment rather this is a nail shop in a shopping strip. So we entered and waited for about 5 mins before anyone even acknowledged our presence. When she did she asked what services I was getting and then stated that they were "busy and had appointments that were coming". I politely said ok, I would take my business elsewhere and walked out. Newtown nail shop by big y here I come. read more

I came in for a regular pedicure & asked to add on an additional 10 minute foot massage. Johnny was fantastic. He gave a great massage and pedicure. I will definitely be coming back for pedicures by Johnny! read more

I was going here for awhile to get the powdered gel. Every once in awhile I would chip before 2 weeks. But the last time I went it was atrocious. The one who did my nails the last time literally cut my skin around my nail on 4 fingers. I had to ask multiple times to fix the shape as well. No later than 20 mins later after driving home I went to open my front door and a nail broke!!!! To say the least I was pissed because I already went back in and said something about how she cut my skin so badly. So I called and demanded my money back because all I got was a sorry. When I went back the owner was there and I told her how unprofessional her employees were about the situation. She fixed my nail and gave me my money back. Welp not even a week and half later I have had 6 more broken nails! They are cracking and chipping so bad. My nails were strong, so I am not sure how this is possible but my nails are ruined from this place. read more

I come here quite often and they do a pretty good job, I do have to say when your getting your nails done, the way I do(Extensions and powder) they switch up the people a LOT. So it gets confusing, they have Nicked me a few times. A few times that I have came someone had there daughter, I didn't mind it but it did get annoying when she had to go leave to take care of her and stop working on my nails. read more

They are decently clean, but not as welcoming as you would like. On the phone i asked how much was a SNS nail extension, the lady told me $35 & I figured that was reasonable, so I book an appointment. I get there, and I show the lady a picture of what I want, and she completely ignores using tips on my nails to extend the nail. I asked what she was doing and she said that I booked an appointment for SNS no extension, when I know for a fact that I asked for SNS extension because right after the phone call I texted my mother telling her to come with me to get her nails done as an SNS extension with me. I asked the nail tech if she could do tips and she said it's too late and it will be an extra 15 dollars for tips. She didn't even file my nails down evenly, some are in the shape of coffin, some are almond, and my thumbs are square. I don't know if I'll be coming here again. I don't think my manicure was worth $35. SNS Extension- $50 SNS No Extension- $35 read more

This nail spa is beautiful and very clean. They were very welcoming and enjoyed my gel manicure considering the horrible treatment I received at Ye nails down the street. I will be going back to take advantage of their spa pedi with free gel mani. read more

I was going here for awhile for pedicures which is why they get 2 stars for good pedicures. Recently I started to use them for SNS. They are using old powder that chips in a couple days. They tried to charge me full price to fix it after a week. She knocked a whole $10 off the full SNS price to fix. I paid $60 in 1 week for them to do it twice. (Not including all the $ to tip) what a waste of time and money. I was happy to tip them to fix it or even would have been okay to fix for a small fee. I got my nails done at a place out of state with new polish and powders and it lasted 4 weeks! Usually I go every 3-4 weeks to change SNS at other places. Never going here again. read more
