I called Crystal as soon as they opened this morning for an appointment. They told me that they had no openings, but that I could go as a walk in at 2:00. I showed up on time and waited for an hour before leaving. Meanwhile they kept taking calls and walk-ins as I waited. I started to feel like I was at a car dealership where they just tell you what you want to hear just to get you in there.

Nothing was cozy about Cozy nails. Wouldn't even call it a spa. I had to ask for gel polish & the employee put on such a thick layer of gel it is almost tacky feeling and it dents/imprints easily. The employees spoke to the other employee and said the UV light wasnt working correctly, so dont use it on the next customer. That's why my polish isnt right. Not only that but their tips go in a "tip bucket" with their name on it instead of their own pockets ... why??? Just why?? Let me give my cash tip directly to the employee and not the bucket. I'll never return and will never recommend this business.

When I get my service: I always like Some design and flair and Amy delivers. It's hard to find a salon nearby that is liking to do some design work and be good at it. I always get powder with extensions. They last about 3 weeks and start getting loose in that 2.5 - 3 week mark. I mention this for two reasons: 1. I'm pretty rough with my hands and activities and appreciate how resilient my nails are for the most part. 2. I wish they did last longer but most of the time 3ish weeks is the max I can go with this type of nail service bc they start breaking or popping off. My only reason for 4 stars is that at times my nails aren't even.. not noticeable to the average eye but I notice. I also wish the technical design capabilities were stronger. I know of other salons that do some cool things but seem so far.. with that said they do good work and I get compliments quite often..

But he soaked it off & used the nail drill and it took forever to remove the gel polish on my toes. Nail drill bit was not sharp, cuticle cutter was not sharp, very dull materials ... also zero ventilation in the salon. Rubbing hot stones on ankle bones (yes directly on the bone) is painful and he did exactly that. Thankfully it was a very short massage ... which was a blessing in this situation but I feel it should have been a longer massage for a $60 service. He also painted on my Cuticle line, so it looks messy with gel polish. And didn't clean up the polish left on my skin. And the big toe polish is MESSED UP you can see the brush strokes and its matte/smudged and this is gel polish Pros: pedicure clay mask w hot towels was nice

Modern Barber Shop rocks. Been going to Heath for over 7 years. Great to have him back as owner and in the center of town. The renovations look great. Parking is simple and hassle free. It's clean, "modernized" and always professional. Great conversation and always a friendly atmosphere. Enjoy taking my son there as well. A true asset to the town of Newington! read more
