“Mine and my daughter's 1st visit & experience at Monster Ink and it exceeded any expectations I could of have. My 14 year old daughter got her 1st helix piercing with Marcus, and he was beyond Outstanding!! Aside from being so fun & personable, he was comforting & explained everything part of the piercing procedure to both of us. Even the other 2 people at the shop that were at the front counter upon checking in we're so much fun and personable as well. I can definitely see myself being a repeat customer!! Thank-you Marcus for your professionalism & humor.”
“Great little hometown shop For all of your gifting needs! Huge selection of great items! Prices are great for the uniqueness of the items they sell! This shop is nestled right on the Main Street of Crystal lake . Growing up here this was the only shopping area and it still has its charm and thrill to walk in the shop to see what is new! I always find something. Either for me or for a friend! The interior is of yesteryear! Look up and admire the original Tim ceilings! They greet you with a smile and treat you like family!”
“Chauncy was extremely helpful. I went in for my inspection and he offered to clean the other pieces I was wearing at the time. He also used one of the semi-private rooms to show me my pieces under the microscope, talking me through the inspection process and reassuring me that all stones are secure in their setting. Great experience all around!”
“I went to Dalzell Jewelers after visiting many other jewelry stores. I was on a mission to find a wedding band to match my engagement ring. My fiancé had proposed with his grandmothers very unique ring. Kim ordered in a couple rings for me to try on and she knocked it out of the park! I absolutely love my wedding band and it matches my engagement ring so well! I am so grateful for Kim and her patience with me!”
“Have been customers of Nelson’s for many years. Recently had some jewelry repairs done under the new ownership. I’m totally satisfied with the service. It looks like the new owners are keeping the Nelson’s tradition of providing top quality merchandise and service. Will definitely continue shopping at Nelson’s.”
“Had the pleasure of walking in to Shay Boutique today and was pleasantly surprised by the charming store! Michelle, one of the store owners was so friendly! Love their selection of clothes! If you’re in downtown Crystal Lake don’t pass up stopping in the Boutique! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised like I was great styles, and great prices too! I highly recommend!”
“This is the absolute best place to buy Birkenstocks. Have purchased many shoes, sandals, boots over 10 years or more since I discovered this store. They are extremely helpful and I think there prices are Very good. I can’t say enough about how they care about the fit and that is their ultimate goal rather than making a buck. I have told countless people over the years about this store and I’m finally writing on online about them! There is also a store next door that has sterling silver jewelry and skateboards.”
