How did you choose the name for your business?

In the process of choosing the name, Crystal Nail Spa, we searched for a name that would convey beauty, style, fashion, elegance, brightness and cleanliness.  We followed the crystal theme in the decor of the Spa with a massive crystal chandelier centerpiece, large panoramic windows, and glass and mirrored accents throughout.

Tell us about the services you offer and the types of nail treatments you have – and what makes you different.

Crystal Nail Spa is a full service Nail Salon with a complete range of services including CBD oil pedicures, collagen pedicures and IBD gel builder manicures.

How are your pedicure stations different from some others? I saw a sign that said they are more sanitary. What kind of system are you using?

Crystal Nail Spa in one of a very few salons in Central Wisconsin that use the state of the art sanitation technology pedicure chairs which utilize disposable foot bath liners. That avoids any cross-contamination between salon guests.  Our clients can feel confident that we are employing the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness.  

What’s the best thing about doing business in the Wausau area?

The best thing about doing business in Wausau is the people. The entire Central Wisconsin area is a fun and friendly place to do business.  We have many clients visiting us from Marshfield, Stevens Point, Merrill, Antigo, and beyond.  Many of our clients like to make Crystal Nail Spa  the focal point of their day trip from around the region.
