J Crystal Nail Salon

Jan 2024

"All nail polishes are chemical products. As nails are a type of skin, if they cannot breathe, symptoms similar to leaving a bandage on the skin for a long time may occur. Additionally, there is a possibility of the added side effects of chemical substances. Therefore, it is recommended not to keep the polish on for too long and to either receive a service or remove the polish according to a regular schedule."

I have been going to this salon inconsistently for 2 years due to the proximity of my home. The service workers appear polite but they talk badly about customers whom may appear of less than a high economic status and race(black). During my experiences at this salon I have in fact tipped when I felt I received neat, non rushed, quality services. I have not tipped when I had received what felt like mediocre/poor or rushed services due roughness, discomfort, and/or sloppy work. On my last visit, I was confronted by the owner that my business was no longer welcomed due to not always tipping regardless of my poor experiences of services and/or of not tipping to his standard. In the past I have at least tipped 20% if I could and was happy with the services. There were times my tips were rejected due to the establishment not wanting to receive tips on cards. I explained to the owner that's his problem as an employer, which he needs to improve for quality work conditions of his employees. It is not the responsibility of the consumer to fill-in for an employer poor practices and poor pay. I would not recommend anyone attend this business if you do not have at least 25% cash in tip regardless of the quality of service you may receive. Also, I do not believe all the nail techs are licensed. This experience has taught me a valuable lesson. Regardless of the convenience of a service location I will never spend my money where I am uncomfortable, devalued, and covertly bullied into giving extra for a service that leaves me feeling sad. I cried about this experience because I could not help but feel discriminating against. Beauty services of any kind should always leave the customer feeling better and not worst when one exits the establishment.

I brought my girlfriend to the salon the other day for a self-care day and got her a manicure! The nail tech and staff were really kind and attentive to what she wanted. Got her cuticles removed and nails cut and smoothed out. She was very happy with how the nail tech checked in on her every now and then to make sure she’s okay and her nails were being filed the way she wanted. Overall a pleasant experience and was very happy with how well they took care of her!
