Classy Nails

Been coming here for over 10+ years. She just burnt me with scolding hot water and I feel like I am just money to them and not a guest. I will be going somewhere else for now on. Bummed!

!!!ok guys so like classy nails is life. I don’t have the time to get my nails done sadly BUTTTT their eyebrow lady is AMAZINGGGG. literally the only person i trust to wax my brows. I’ve been to many brow places before from 10 – 21 $ but this place is just perfect. 9 $ for brows arch and waxed.

Filthy place. Everything is run down and old. The only good nail technician is TONY. I’m almost positive that he is the only one certified there. There are not nearly enough license on the wall for all of the people who work there.
Yet him being amazing isn’t enough for me to return and be a loyal customer. I’ve been 3 times for acrylic nails twice tony did them once another woman. A week after the woman did them they fell off without any trouble. Popped off like press ons; I was so mad. Every other time with tony they were beautiful. If I could scoop up tony and put him in another better shop I would. He has so much talent and patience. He’s so much better than that nail salon and all of the unfriendly workers there.

I have been a faithful customer to this shop for years. My sister, mother and nieces even started going. But in the last year, actually since expanded the shop, I have found the quality to have dropped dramatically.
Tina does great eyebrows and Candy does the best pedicures. But let’s discuss shellac. The shellac manicures that cost $ 30 and are supposed to last 2 weeks. They were on the late train, but when they finally got it, the colors were limited. BUT they lasted. Not only that, they have «perfect match» that isn’t really a perfect match. And even though I have explained to them many times that my nails and toes must match exactly, they LIE to me and say oh yeah its a match.
Most recently, I went in, had the same discussion about colors and Candy assured me the colors matched. She did my toes and when Tina went to do my nails, guess what? They didn’t match. BUT still tried to get me to get the color anyway. They had to find another color to mix so it would be close to my toes. But its a perfect match right? I was assured of that, right? Not only that, within 2 days, my polish started chipping. I had to get them replaced with off colors because they didn’t know what they had mixed originally.
Speaking of chipping, I couldn’t figure out why my nails chip so quickly here, but not when I go other places. I figured out it’s because they put nail thinner in it when it gets low to stretch it. Which in turn messes up the quality of the product and causes it not to last as long. Good for them, because now they can ensure you have to come back in 2 weeks. More revenue for them.
I kept trying to give them a chance, but I am officially done. Found another nail shop called Lena’s Nails on MacDonald in Richmond. Appointments are required, but she is friendly, professional, her quality is top notch and has a wide range of colors. That actually match.

Been coming here over 10 years candy does the best pedis everyone does Tina does good eyebrow waxing and I love the new remodeling and wax room the pedis last long and your feet feel amazing after

This is by far the worst nail salon I have been to…
1. THERE IS NOTHING CLASSY ABOUT THIS PLACE
2. Horrible customer service
3. The lady who gave me a pedicure did not speak any English, which was really frustrating because I could not communicate with her at all.
4. The place is FLITHY! Garbage on the floor. Pedicure seats old and ripped apart!
HORRIBLE experience… if you are desperate for a pedicure… give yourself one before going to this disgusting place!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! DO NOT GO :)

Although I didn’t stick around to get my nails done I was really disappointed by the customer service. When I walked into the shop granted all of the workers were working on client’s but they each looked up at me and without offering a greeting or identifying the services I was looking for they just continued working. Finally, after about 10 minutes the man in the shop asked what services I needed and asked me to sit down without saying how long the wait was. After sitting there for at least 30 minutes I heard one of the customers debating with the worker about the polish color she wanted, smh. Finally I had enough and decided to quickly walk out and rid myself of this place.

I’ve been here four or five times and it’s hit or miss.
Positives:
+Cheap
+Clean
+One excellent manicure by a gentleman whose name I did not catch — very good work!
+Good hours — always open it seems.
Negatives:
–Polishes are messy and the selection is mostly glittery, wild colors — poor selection of reds, neutrals. Lots of off-​brand, little Opi. Half the bottles I wanted to sample were stuck shut.
–Always noisy and hectic. Last time I was in there it was full of little kids, the tv was loud, and all the grown-​up colors of polish were piled up next to patrons (seriously, ladies with like 8 bottles sitting next to them). Not finding any suitable colors on the shelf, not wanting to wade through children to find a seat to wait in, I left.
–ROUGH pedicures. Ouch.

I have been coming to Classy Nails for a few years now. I usually get my nails done by Tony. He is amazing… I love that he works fast and precise! but, recently the owner got an ATM in the shop and for $ 2.50 you get whatever amount you need with the minimum being $ 20. This does not sit well with me. Don’t we pay enough fees? tip and fee for every little thing they do to the nail. :(
so, the moral of the story is… BRING CASH or pay the fee!
They do not care if you are a regular customer!
Bring cash…
This will be my last time coming… I just don’t appreciate yet another fee after I’ve been a customer for years and I’m giving you ONE star for bringing the ATM into the shop… bad idea!

So I always get my acrylic done here! I must say the service I receive is always really good and their prices are reasonable compared to other near by. For example a full is 14 compared the the average 20. They don’t get five stars because there is always a huge wait and even when I make appointments i always end up waiting

Shop was nice, and the ladies were very nice I’ve seen them for years, my BFF and here entire family goes to this nail shop but for me. I wasn’t at all satisfied with my pedicure and shellac paint job. For one the pedi was done with some old nasty looking sponge and when I got home the bottom of my feet still felt rough. The color selection was nice but I was not impressed at all how the girl who worked on my feet cut and filled my toes nails maybe I’m just picky, but if I’m paying I expect them to match or at least be pretty close to matching. One big toe had rounded edges and the other was straight across which btw was crooked:/. I would fix it myself but I’m 8mths pregnant and blending over is pretty hard. (I usually do my own pedi at home, I’m way better at designs then any nail shop I’ve ever been too). Ok on to the shellac that I was almost forced into trying by this very pressing woman who was gawking at my natural nails long story short I agreed and let her put the gel nail polish on them. Sooo my nail was filed extremely crooked. I didn’t notice until after they were dried already and the way she painted my nails she never pushed back my cuticles and simply painted over them which caused my shellac to peel 4 days later :((waist of money) I would have went back to have them fixed but was afraid of them doing the same thing and wasting money of my money. So I researched nail shops in my area and reached Time for nails on Telegraph ave. and I’m very satisfied how they did the same job for about $ 7 more and my nails have been lasting ever since. I will not be getting anything done from this nail shop ever again…

I’m a regular. Ive been coming since they opened and I was in the nail shop forever! I need to find a new nail shop, I could of been out faster. But, since Im a regular I guess they figure I have time to wait. Well no! 4 ½ hrs. I was hot! Not to mention I got the cooties from the workers

i love this nail salon. close to my house. great people and a great job on my nails

I love Classy. They are super friendly and once you become a regular the sometimes give discounts.

I always come in at the right time so I never have to wait.
I love the way they do my nails. And they process request perfectly
Next time I will try the nail art
Tammy is the best

Classy Nails, you never cease to amaze me. I first started coming here when I was in high school to get zany, over the top manicures that would have made Carmen Miranda jealous. Since then, my tastes have become increasingly more modest — less glitter and about a yard shorter in length. However, if I’m in the mood to get acrylics, this is the one and only place I will go because they are always expertly shaped, meticulously applied, and painted with precision.
They accommodate all kinds of nail styles, ranging from clean and simple all the way up to ornate claws. There are a ton of designs to choose from but you can also bring in your own concept and most likely, someone here will be able to execute it. Best part? Every service they provide is insanely affordable.
Praise the lord for polishes in every color of the rainbow. I really appreciate that my goth tendencies are accommodated here unlike a lot of other places that only have reds, pinks, nudes, and other calming shades. If you really want to get glitzy, they also have little frou frou add-​ons like rhinestones. Another perk? You won’t get a lame arm massage with some toxic smelling flowery lotion! I can’t say how much I enjoy walking out of here sans Bath and Body Works stank.
In terms of the environment, just know that it’s not meant to be a place of relaxation. It has a harsh acetone smell and a ton of foot traffic. It’s a humble sized shop with a handful of manicure stations and three pedicure chairs but most often, you can walk in and get situated within a matter of minutes. Members of the staff are constantly buzzing around. Often times, multiple people will work on you, one after another. I’ve had as many as three different employees swap out with each other during one application but I never mind because my nails always come out looking bad ass.
If you want a spa-​like experience, this isn’t your place but if you want a killer Vietnamese nail technician to apply a flawless full set, now would be a good time to drop in to the ever reliable, Classy Nails.

I love this place! Walking distance from my house. Family run place! Tina is the best when it comes to eyebrows and lashes! When I walk in she knows what I want. Full sets last longer than most! I have recommended several people who are regulars like me!

Walked in with my sister and got taken care of right away. They are very friendly and quick. My nails came out great! They have ALOT of designs to choose from, but of course I had my own design in mind. And the lady had no issues doing it. $ 31 for a full set, French manicure and candy cane design on ever nails = great price ;-) Highly recommend!!!

I’ve been going here since they opened. I’ve tried others when I can’t get to them, but no one ever surpasses them.
Clean, professional, reasonable in cost, relaxing, good location and very accommodating.
See Ms. Tina for EVERYTHING!
See Ms. Candi for your pedicure
Negative: Gets a little noisy because of the owners small children. (Sometimes)
Ms. Candi will put you to sleep in the chair while receiving your pedicure.
LOVE IT!!!

I love Classy Nails! this is my place to go when I want hand painted acrylic nails and pedicures. By far the best pedicures! They scrub thoroughly, clean and refine my nails, the best in hand painting designs.
I read a few of the other reviews and someone mentioned the acrylic removal process. I agree that they should have soaked them too, I’m not sure how other places remove acrylic nails but I always just picked at mine. And this is the only place I have really been to for acrylic so I never thought to question their method.
Anyways, I love the people who work there, they are super friendly.
I have been to expensive, fancy salons that do horrible paint jobs (not designs but just solid paint) and do not scrub or clean my feet when I got pedicures.
