    Regular manicure
    Daniela A.

    So far my favorite nail salon in New Rochelle. The place is very clean and comfortable. During the pandemic I had to call to make an appointment, the staff was wearing masks and face shield. They checked my temperature as soon as walked into the salon and they also desinfected my chair. Very happy with the results!

    If I could give a zero I would. I got a gel manicure and pedicure on Friday around 2pm. The nail tech that was doing my nails kept telling me the nail polish wasn't staying on and it was running on the tips of my nails she continued to use the acetone to remove and replace apply about 5 times in one nail. She asked if I had oil in my nails, of course I didn't obviously. However the color finally stayed and then Saturday morning after I noticed my nails were becoming faded and it started to look like the nail polish color was running and now it looks yellow. I'm so dissatisfied and I will no longer go there. I am convince they add whatever in the gel polish both my toes and nails look yellow and not pink. I don't recommend.

    Went here for the first time today and had a great experience! I decided to do a relatively simple design, but have seen some really elaborate, intricate ones on the Instagram page. There aren't books with designs to choose from, so I would suggest looking at the pictures on Yelp, as well as the salon's Instagram account @jcrystalnail. You can also come in with a design, show them what you want to do, and see if they can do it. The prices are fair, much less than what you would pay for calgel in NYC. What I got was 35$, whereas at places I've been in NYC, it would cost probably 60$, if not more. So far, really good quality and I'm happy with how my nails look. They offer massages while your nails are being done, which is awesome. It was a strong massage, and lasted several minutes. Rebekah- my manicurist- was very nice, patient, and pleasant to talk to. Sunny (the owner) gave me an acrylic tip just on one finger because the nail is a complete mess right now. Everyone I interacted with was sweet and courteous, and I can't wait to go back! The gel manicure is more about the design then the pampering of your hands, but it is worth the (very fair) price to have a manicure that lasts and that makes me happy to look at every time I glance down at my nails :) I'll be back soon for sure- thank you for doing such a wonderful job!

    I've been going to J Crystal for sometime now. I believe they have new owners and they are both the friendliest people! The staff is friendly as well. I get a gel manicure and no matter who I go to I always love my results. As for their COVID measures - they take everyone's temperature at arrival, have hand sanitizer available, all staff wears masks, they spray the bottom of your shoes. I'm content with the amount of cleanliness at the location. I would suggest making an appointment as they do get busy at times.

    This place gave me a wonderful first time experience. The staff are very accommodating and courteous. They accept walk in and appointments. My boyfriend and I came here for a manicure and pedicure and the complimentary massage it was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep. After the service my bf commented that it was a nice relaxing foot treatment. When I'm in the area, I will be back!

    Here is the finished manicure...

    First time using this salon...have not had a mani/pedi since February...i got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. I chose a pink color for my hands..while she was applying the gel i told her its too pale..she's not using enough polish...she stated 'oh it will be okay after 3 coats'...by the last coat i repeated and said you're not using enough polish! She stated 'its too late to change polish'...i did NOT want a different color...i wanted her to actually stop being stingy with the polish and apply enough! The last coat she focused on the tips of my nails primarily...i was so annoyed and disappointed...never again will i give them my business ! Never!

    Brighter color for warmer climate!

    Definitely a five star salon. First time here and it won't be my last!! I got gel manicure and it looks beautiful- better than many other salons I've been to. Highly recommend this place.

    My best friend told me about J.Crystal. Her and her mom had been going there a couple times! I went and I was so happy with my experience. The place was clean and beautiful, the ladies are all nice and helpful. The massage is AMAZING. Silvia has done my nails both times and I have been so happy each time. Gel Manicure and Pedicure with two designs together are 63$. With debit card its 68$ only thing I do have to say is the lady that answers the phone and helps at the front desk, is not very pleasant. Otherwise everyone else is very nice and sweet. Definitely my new spot!

    I've been coming here on and off for years and they never fail to deliver. Some reviewers have mentioned the prices, however, based on the quality of work, it is well worth it. All of the ladies are wonderful but the attached photograph is courtesy of Cecilia (she's amazing). If you want to experience great craftsmanship, come here. Oh and they also give great massages!

    I moved to the area recently and Ive been looking for places to get some services done like a wax…read more I called and the front desk let me know the wax lady was busy doing lashes and I would have to wait an hour or more. So I went home to take care of some things and waited for their call. They called me to come in and I basically said I'll have to get ready to step out since I was in the middle of applying a mask so give me a few minutes. I get there and what I walked into was an unfriendly welcoming from the nail techs, no greeting, no smile, just side eyes as if I was not the type of customer they wanted there. I dont know if its cause I had a hair cap on for my hair mask or because I was the only afro-latina in there. Even the customers were stand offish mind you thats not even the most aesthetic spa in the area. Zen Shu is and they weren't like this not even close. I told them what I was there for and I was told the lady left? 2x. Like what do you mean I spoke to you guys 20 minutes ago and you told me to come in. Then the lady from the front finally comes out says the girl "went to the store", that I will have to wait. Then proceeds to ask if I want to wait???? UH yess! I waited an hour for you to finish a service and I came outside like this, OF COURSE! You would think thats common sense. But no it's because the wax lady which apparently is the only one that does waxes there probably went home. Thats the only reason I can think of. So I waited maybe 5-8 minutes until I left and took my money to Beauty Spa, which is what I should've done in the first place. They were very attentive once I walked in, immediately stopped what they were doing and took care of me. I'm very disappointed in the latin community here, I worked in hospitality/customer service before so I understand the work behind it. But I was certainly not expecting this treatment after being called to come in. I absolutely hate wasting my time and today was a long list of to dos before I travel. They need to improve on their customer service as a whole. I would not be recommending my family or friends here at all. Theres so much better though you might spend a bit more, but care, hospitality and TIME is high on my list.

I began coming here by chance and was so extremely happy with the level of detail the nail tech showed. When I initially came in, I had only a picture and an idea of what I wanted. She made my vision come to life and was through, neat and took pride in her work. She was perfect, soft spoken and did not make me feel as though she was trying to upsell. Since that first visit, I've requested her as my tech through their online booking system but was never given an opportunity to work with her again, but once. I started waxing services and every time I would request this particular tech. This is an option on their website so I assumed they kept track. I made an appointment five days in advance and received a call on the day of, requesting that I arrive an hour before my appointment, which would have been an hour after the call I received. I declined. When I got to the salon, I heard another woman telling someone that she was also asked to come in earlier for her appointment because they over-booked. I figured that was a one-off and let it go. The next visit I made my appointment online and requested the tech. When I arrived, I stated that I had an appointment with a specific person and was told to wait in the private room. Someone named Laura did the waxing service. I did not object but I should have. It was not good at all. She was rough when applying the wax. She was not thorough and did not do my entire lower leg. She did my pedi as well and was very aggressive with the upsell, despite my agreeing to an additional 10-minute massage . When I come to the nail salon, I am coming to treat myself and relax, not be pressured to buy more things. On my last visit, I arrived and stated upfront that I had an appointment with the tech. They just had me go into the private room and some other person came in. Again, I went along with it. She was more gentle than the previous uncomfortable wax service I had, although, she did not wax my entire lower leg. Yet another perosn started my pedi and I finally got fed up and said that I made my appointment with a different nail tech. The tech in question heard me say this (she was doing a pedicure on a woman at the next station) and looked up. Someone came up to me and said that I would need to call to request a specific tech. I stated that this was the thirs time and no one ever told me this before. The tech doing my pedi must have been new because she missed steps. I initially wanted gel but changed my mind and got a regular pedi because I was not about to spend more money on a service and not be happy with the results. At the end of my appointment, they pressured me to give more of a tip then I deemed appropriate. Like, who does that? A tip is an added gesture, based upon the kind of service provided. If you have to be reminded to do steps of a service, or you fail to provide all of the steps of a service, why would you think you're deserving of extra money? Yesterday I attempted to call in for my next appointment, as suggested. The person who answered was having a hard time hearing me, I assume. I was literally screaming into my phone, asking for a pedi, underarm and leg wax, for the following week. I requested the tech I am comfortable with, and was told she does not do pedicures. Remember, she has done my pedi before, and she was doing a pedi on a woman next to me, during my last visit. I found this odd but let it go. She confirmed my appointment and then I asked who would be doing the waxing. She did not even listen to me. She asked if I wanted to add on the waxing. I told her I said that from the beginning. She confirmed and I again asked who would be doing it, mainly because I did not want that same person that caused me unnecessary pain when she was applying the wax. The woman obviously did not understand me. She had an attitude during the entire phone call and told me she doesn't know who would do it. That's when I got frustrated and just told her to cancel the whole thing and that I will schedule the appointment myself, on their website. Side note: I'm not making another appointment. As you all know based upon my reviews, I love consistency. Consistency is the key to happy, repeat customers. I expect the same treatment on day 1 as on day 101. I don't ask for much. I just want the service I'm paying for and to be treated with dignity, respect and care. Obviously, there needs to be flexibility on both sides but I gave them multiple chances to make it right and this just isn't it. I told so many people about this salon based on my first could of visits but I've had more bad visits than good so now it's time to part ways. Currently looking for a new waxing spot, preferably with bomb nail services in the Northeast Bronx/Southern Westchester areas. Please DM me with any suggestions. I tip very well if the services are on point.

    Let me start off by saying the customer service was really good! They were booked when I called so…read morethey took my number down and made sure to reach out as soon as something opened up. Once I got there and started the process, I started to second guess my decision to come here. First off, I've gotten my lashes done before and I have never smelled the glue like this time. It scared me that the glue smell was so strong because I've never experienced that before. It smelled like nail glue and also made my eyes burn/tear up A LOT during the process. This could've caused the lashes to fall out sooner but I don't think it would've been as bad as it was. The photo attached shows what fell out the next day! Needles to say, a week went by and I have almost no lashes left. Money down the drain. I don't think I'll be coming back here every though it's conveniently close to me.

    Apologies for this being so long! Don't usually write reviews, but my experience here was beyond…read morehorrible so simply have to share. I'm actually mind blown at how badly it went. Most of the story you can tell from the screenshots of my communication with the salon. I've had eyelash extensions done many times before, but this was my first time here. Usually, it's a pretty relaxing experience and I can even nod off, but not here. The tech (and co-owner!) Shanty used her phone the whole time working on my eyelashes - phone calls, FaceTime, and texting (I could tell from the clicking noise as the volume on her phone was on). I was extremely uncomfortable with it as phones are not clean and she did not clean her hands before touching my eyes again. It also was taking up quite a bit of time. I waited till she was done and spoke with her about it. She made excuses that it was related to her kids and she had to take care of it. It's true, part of it was vaguely related to kids, but that was a fraction of it. She was not apologetic whatsoever, but did say she would avoid using her phone next time unless she absolutely had to and said she'd step away in that case. Stupidly, I believed it and signed up for their classic membership that includes the initial application, two refills and removal. On their website it stated it was $200, but I got charged a little over $250 ($230 plus tax). When I got home I took a close look at them and noticed that no extensions were applied to the inner and outer corners or the eyes. It wasn't super obvious, but it bothered me. The lashes started falling out the following morning despite me following all instructions. The problem was that they were falling out in clumps because of the way they were done. Apparently she used "fans" instead of individual strands. So when even two fans fell out you could see a very visible gap already. I knew they were closed on the weekend so I contacted them on Monday regarding my issue and made an appointment for Thursday to get them fixed. It was Shanty again working on me. She was very short from the beginning and again there was no apology even though at this point I was missing at least half of the eyelashes from my left eye. It's been only five days since I got them. I asked her to redo them as fans is not what I asked and payed for and she said that she only had half an hour and all she could do was to patch up where the eyelashes were missing. She did end up working on me for closer to an hour. She still used her phone to text, which she denied later. Again, the volume on the phone was on so it was very obvious when she was texting. At that point I knew that it wasn't a place I wanted to come back to and asked the receptionist for a refund of the rest of my balance. I imagined I'd be charged just for one application and be reimbursed the rest. However, she insisted that I had to be charged $50 for the refill because she spent so much time working on me. I tried to explain that if it was done properly the first time, I wouldn't have to come back again so soon and waste her and my time. However, she kept trying to put the blame on me, that I did something wrong. Out of $250 that I payed, I only got $90 back. The cherry on top was the comment they left about me being a difficult client on the receipt. I wish I never set foot there and now I know I never will again. Let my experience be a cautionary tale for you.

    Giving an updated review.. I thought I'd give this salon another try--because why not tempt fate?…read moreBig mistake. My manicure was rushed, my skin got cut multiple times (apparently filing the sides of nails counts as "art"), and when I flinched, the technician blamed my nail shape. Two days later, my fingers were still on fire like I'd been holding a tiny barbecue. If you enjoy blood, pain, and awkward blame-shifting, this place is for you. Otherwise... steer clear.

    First of all, the manicure was very rushed. My manicurist spoke very minimally, never introduced…read moreherself, and never made eye contact with me. It was a very cold and unsettling experience. The salon is dark and dingy, and just does not seem clean. The instruments were all thrown in a metal dish with no sanitary wrappers. It looks like they are used and re-used on every client without being sterilized. In this age, with so many transmissible diseases, that's an outright disgrace. The pad where you place your hands was stained and dirty-looking. The manicurist placed a paper towel over the stains. The emery board was old and nasty looking, as was the little finishing sponge. As far as the manicure itself, my cuticles were not soaked in warm water, and they were not pushed back properly or managed, so the polish starts FAR from the base of the nails. It looks like I had this manicure done a week ago, and the nails have grown forward. Also, some of the nails were filed round, while others were filed square. It was $17 for a plain manicure. I gave the woman a $5 tip - only because I am a generous tipper, and I thought the remainder of the manicure would improve. It did not. There was no neck massage, no thank you, no goodbye - nothing. That's a wrap for me - never again!
