    Mary did an amazing job!!! I would refer her to anyone who is looking to get there nails done. She's super friendly and does an amazing job.

    Mary did an amazing job! Her service is incredible she's super sweet and immediately makes you feel so welcome and comfortable. She truly takes her time and pays attention to every detail. She did my nails better than any other nail salon I've ever been to. I'm so happy with how they turned out and will definitely be coming back to her!

    I normally don't write reviews, but after reading the recent 1-star post, I felt I needed to share what I personally witnessed during that exact appointment. I was in the salon at the same time, and the description in that review does not match what happened. The nail technician and owner showed nothing but patience, professionalism, and kindness. At no point did they "blame" the customer. The client had chosen regular polish, which naturally takes time to fully dry, but repeatedly pressed on her nails before they were set--causing the dents herself--while insisting she had to leave for work. The staff even went so far as to offer to walk her to her car to prevent smudging them further. I've been coming to Mary for 4 months, and she always spends the extra time to get the shape and finish exactly how I like them. Her work is meticulous, and I leave happy every time. Small businesses can be deeply impacted by inaccurate reviews, and I hope my first-hand account helps balance the picture. I've attached photos of my own nails from various visits to show the consistent, beautiful results Mary delivers.

    I am going into the New Year ecstatic because I officially can say... I HAVE FINALLY FOUND MY NAIL LADY!!!!!! I was looking for a French Ombre and have tried and tried so many places and they just don't look like how I want them to ... I found Mary on yelp and was able to get a same day appointment.. I was blown away with my nails.. Mary clearly knows what she is doing and has a passion for nails. She's also so kind and fun to talk to during your appointment. It's such a relief finally not having to jump around nail place to nail place hoping you get what you ask for!! Also, the price of nails has really gone up over the years but Mary's pricing is below competitive rate & extremely fair!!! I can't wait to have constantly pretty nails all year long! Thank you Mary for making me feel at home & providing beautiful nails & fantastic service!!!

    First time doing acrylic nails and visiting this nail salon. Romi was very sweet and gave me a great gel pedicure and manicure. I showed her an inspo image and she was able to get it down perfectly. It took about 2 hours to finish the full set. She exfoliated my feet and legs and gave me a nice massage. The washes and lotions they use smell heavenly! Pricing: Gel pedicure $50 Gel acrylic mani $75 It's $10 extra for French tips Overall a very pleasant experience. I will be back- thank you for pampering me!

    Text message Mary sent the morning of my appointment

    Mary sends me a text message the morning of my appointment to ask if I can come in at 10:45am instead of 11:00am. I texted her that I could try to get there as fast as I can because I had another appointment somewhere else. The first appointment ran late and it was raining cats and dogs, but I rushed out of there to get to Crystal Nails at exactly the appointment time I had booked one week in advance. When I got there they were barking orders at me to sit down, but I had to use the restroom. That's when she said I was 15 minutes late already! WTF! I'm not the confrontational type, but this rubbed me the wrong way. So, I reiterated what I had texted her and reminded her that my actual appointment time was exactly the time I got there and left! I was furious!!! The place is dingy and small. Did not get the clean and relaxing feeling, on top of the poor customer service. Taking my business elsewhere! In response to Karen K.'s attempt to invalidate my experience. I was merely standing by the gel colors to pick out the color I wanted as directed and was not ready to sit down because I had to use the restroom. Obviously I was in a bad mood because of the way they were barking at me to sit down! I'm not a dog! Karen must've gotten a free manicure for this bogus 5 star review.

    One word to describe my 1st visit to Crystal Nails by Mary...AMAZING!! I had a pedicure ( her massage chair was absolutely the most comfortable chair, I didn't want to get out ). I then had a new set of acrylic nails put on. She recommended I try the coffin shape but I decided to go w/the Squoval shape and she shaped them to perfection. For my next new set, I will definitely try the coffin shape. I also have to mention she is very accommodating when I made my first appointment. Before I left I made sure that I got on her schedule for my next fill as she is very good, and the timeslot I prefer, often fills up quickly.

    Romi is great! She does a good job with fun designs and is a very honest nail tech. She tells you when to take a break from gel to not damage your nails. She cares about her clients. And she's pretty funny.

    Mary gave me a descent dip in manicure for my recent visit. They've also accommodated my last minute appointments something I appreciate!

    Almond-shaped nails with dip powder and gel polish

    Very happy with Crystal Nails by Mary! Hard to find a place that does dip manicures since everyone is using Gel-X, but my last dip manicure with Mary lasted 5 weeks and still looked great. Also very reasonably priced.

    Was looking for someone to do my nails for my wedding next month and after ruthlessly searching yelp, landed on Mary's page. I called and did a ombré manicure to trial the look and was so impressed with Mary's suggestions, quality, attention to detail, constantly checking in to see if I liked it. Not many folks would spend the time making sure I chose the right color for my wedding, and it's that attention to detail and passion from Mary that has me looking forward to coming back for my wedding nails in the next month. Went with a nude ombré powder dip nails! Super reasonably priced for the quality.

She has such an artistic eye and somehow can take any inspiration photo or random idea I bring in and make it look elegant, refined, and flattering on my hands. Her shaping is what keeps me coming back. The nails never come out thick or bulky like so many places do. They look slim, feminine, clean, and beautifully balanced every single time. What I also appreciate is that she genuinely takes her time. You can tell she cares about the details and takes pride in her work instead of rushing clients through. On top of that, she is warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, which makes the whole experience relaxing. Finding someone who can consistently do beautiful, natural-looking nails with this level of precision is honestly rare. So happy I found this place.

    Great nails, but unprofessional and predatory payment practices…read more I have been coming to this salon on and off for the last few years living in San Carlos. While the mani-pedis are consistently wonderful, the staff's attitude is hit-or-miss, and after today, I will not be returning. As a stay-at-home mom, I was looking forward to using a $100 gift card a friend gave me for some much-needed "me time." My $70 service was lovely, but the experience turned sour the moment I tried to pay. I asked to use the full gift card to cover the service and the tip (which my friend had specifically allotted for). The staff flat-out refused, insisting that tips must be paid separately via Venmo, Zelle, or cash. When I asked them to show me where this policy was posted--or if they disclose to people buying gift cards that they can't be used for the full service--they couldn't give me an answer. Instead of honoring the store credit, they brought the manager over to pressure me into paying through an app or walking to the bank and getting cash. They made such a public scene that another customer actually offered me cash because she thought I couldn't afford the service. It was humiliating, unnecessary, and felt like a blatant attempt to avoid credit card fees or taxes at my expense. When someone bought that gift card, the salon received $100 in cash immediately. By refusing to let me use that money for a tip, they are essentially saying: "We're keeping the $30 left on this card for ourselves until you come back and spend more money, but we still want you to pay our employee extra today." It's a "double-dip" strategy to ensure I remain a repeat customer or leave money on the table. One common excuse salons give is that they don't want to pay credit card fees on a tip. But with a store-issued gift card, there is no processing fee for them to "run" it at the register. The fee was already paid (or not) when the card was originally purchased. Using the balance at the desk costs the owner $0.00. California law is very strict. If a business allows tips on credit cards, they cannot deduct fees from the worker's tip. By forcing me to use Venmo or Zelle, the owner is likely trying to: Avoid reporting the tip as income (tax evasion). Avoid the paperwork of paying the tip out to the technician through their payroll system. It is incredibly disappointing that a relaxing afternoon ended with me being ganged up on over a payment method. If you plan to use a gift card here, be prepared for a confrontation.
