Kim, the older lady with glasses did a phenomenal job on my pedicure! She really took her time, was very gentle, which I appreciate, and paid attention to detail! I got the European Pedicure which was $45. I have had this one many times before at other salons, but always felt so rushed, and they sometimes cut corners because they assumed I wasn't paying attention as I am always on my phone. But I pay very close attention! I will notice if they miss a step! You definitely get your money's worth here! I highly recommend!

This is my second time going to this spa for my pedicure. I came back a second time because the first time was a very enjoyable experience. She was very careful and gentile. The for and leg massage was amazing. The nail polish lasted quite awhile; no chipping. When I went today I was disappointed that she only put one coat of polish on. Every other place I've gone and your place the first time put on two coats of polish.

This has become my favorite spot and was actually recommended by my mom. Weโ€™ve had every encounter imaginable but, I canโ€™t think of a better experience than I have here. Paul does AMAZING, highly suggest for nails & Helen does just as great, suggested for toes. Give this place a try because Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll never want to go anywhere else!

I love this place, my go-to for every set . The staff is so nice, especially the young girl at the front desk. Their nails always last so long and rarely do I get lifting or breakage that isnโ€™t directly my fault. They can do amazing designs for great prices!!

Krystal Nails & Spa Santee never disappoints!! I went in to get a fill, and left feeling confident and happy with my new nails. I always enjoy coming to get my nails done here as the staff are friendly and kind, the environment is clean, open, and relaxing, and prices are affordable. I will always choose to come here over any other nail salon!
