Classic Nails & Spa

I don’t review very often, but this is my favorite place. It has been redone more recently and is incredibly clean. I never feel rushed, they take their time to get it done correctly. Always very relaxing and they offer water bottles. It’s the little things. I tend to change my mind about colors and ideas and they always are very open and listen to exactly what I want done. The supervisor is very friendly and always greets and checks on everyone. I’ve gone to a number of places, but always end up here to get things done properly. I see a different technician every time and they are equally great! Highly recommend.

I happened to be in the area, and needed to find the closest nail salon to get a gel manicure. This salon happened to be the closest, so I decided to try it. As soon as I walked in I was seated right away.
The lady who was assigned to do my manicure seemed bothered that she had to do my nails. She was very rough, I had to ask her to be more gentle because she made my cuticle bleed on one of my nails. She started my manicure, and then said she would be right back and never returned. I later figured out that she went to do another customers pedicure and left me for another technician to finish (great customer service!)
25 minutes later, another technician came and finally finished my nails. She was nice, but by that point I was so turned off by the lack of customer service I just wanted to hurry up and get out of there. They charge $ 28 for a gel manicure which for the quality of service and materials they use is way to high in my opinion. 5 days later and the bottoms of nails are already lifting, when a gel mani usually lasts me 10 – 14 days with no issues. I won’t be returning, there are many other nail salons in the area with much better service.

Beautiful, clean and friendly establishment. Went in on a Saturday morning around 11 and there was no wait. Plenty of polishes to choose from and a good 100+ gel colors to choose from. Parking lot is a bit busy with the new Whole Foods and Hobby Lobby, but you won’t have to park super far away.

Finding a good nail salon can be difficult. I have been recommended to many salons by friends or Unilocal that fail to deliver. So I have come to realize that it is the particular nail technician you are assigned to that can really make or the experience.
I have been going the the same person for my manicures for 14 years (yes, loyalty for talent and great service!) but Cherie does not do pedicures, so I have always had to go elsewhere for pedis. I started going to Classic Nails (now located in the Whole Foods plaza) a few years ago. At that tine it looked like any other Asian nail salon. They have since renovated and the salon looks much more luxurious. I always get the Signature Pedicure which for $ 30 is very reasonable: it includes salt scrub, mask & hot towel, & extra massage. You can now pay extra for upgraded organic products, but I find the regular products just fine.
I started «seeing» one technician who was very good when I first started going there but when she was out I «cheated» with another technician named Mindy. Mindy was excellent and after that she was the only technician I would go to. Mindy treated me fabulously! She did a thorough job with my cuticles, gave an extra extra long massage, and her polish lasted forever. My relationship with Mindy lasted a couple of years until I called and they said she was away. Then I found out she wasn’t coming back.
I have tried a couple of technicians since Mindy left. One did a fair job and the polish chipped the next day. The other actually gave me a very good pedi and the polish lasted about a month. Unfortunately, I can’t remember this lady’s name but I’m sure I will find her again.
I am not sure I am ready to commit again but it is nice to know Classic Nails is right here in the neighborhood. It is very convenient and I appreciate their hours, open until 8 Monday-​Saturday and open until 5 on Sunday.

I have been going to Classic Nails and Spa since before Hurricane Wilma in the Plantation Mall. Some of the technicians are still there. I go for mani-​pedis and facial waxing services. I usually ask for the same person but I have to say, I have received services from most of the technicians and they are ALL excellent. I don’t know why, but so many manicurists cannot shape my nails properly; they seem crooked, somehow. I have not had that issue with anyone at Classic Nails. The salon, recently renovated, is both inviting and relaxing (every time I wash my hands, I think how I would love their faucet in my home). They offer different levels of services from basic to those with more frills (longer foot massage and hot towels, for example) which is nice. Everyone is very friendly. I have gone as a walk-​in, but prefer calling for an appointment.

I think the rating depends on the person that you get. I have been here a few times and it is different service everytime. My mom comes here all the time and always asks for the same lady. She likes her alot. I first went here last year, there was 4 of us that went in together for pedicures. We had made a reservation so they knew we were coming. I felt that they really rushed us through and didnt really take the time to do a great pedicure. We were literally done in 5 minutes. However, The next time, it was just mysefl getting a pedicure while my mom had a manicure and she took her time. It was a great pedicure. I had my nails done there recently and again, Lisa, was her name, was really great. She did an awesome job and they came out beautiful.
The salon itself is very peacful and calm. They have a huge fish tank which they are always cleaning so it strangly makes me feel good, if they take the time to clean that then they are clean all together. Everyone has their own favorite, but I think Lisa is the best. My mother likes her as well and usually who she will ask for. They also offer water, which is a nice touch.
I beleive they are the same company that use to be located in the fashion square mall, which we went to all the time when it was open. They remember my mom and that she had two daughters, which I really think is a nice touch. It always makes you want to go back when they remember their clients. I will defintely go back when I am in South Florida.

Amazing service. First one there. Let me in, instead of waiting outside. The owner made casual conversation and made me feel welcomed. Beautiful setting with great employees. The are definitely about business and the customer is their number one priority. They also have loyal clients and are on a first name basis with them. Definitely will go back.

Love Classic Nails. I live in Dade County but work in Broward and I wish I lived closer to Classic Nails so that I could come on weekends. Tranquil as one other reviewer said. Always take their time and do an excellent job. They have spoiled me against using other salons.

Came in as a walk in and they took care of me right away. Love the vibe and service, everyone was very friendly and my nails came out great. Good house music, much better than typical spa music

Came in the other week for a shellac mani. The salon is very tranquil and clean with a mellow vibe. Staff is very friendly. Tron did my nails and did a phenomenal job. I couldn’t be happier with how shaped and took care of them. I can’t wait to go back and have him experiment with some designs. Can’t wait to go back!
If you want a great manicure, ASK FOR TRON!
Polish and shaping are definitely his forte :)

The customer service is absolutely horrible. I’ve gone there multiple times aside from my sister going there for there for a pedicure and waxing and they ALWAYS change the price when you get to the counter. If they honor what they say it will be at the cost of causing a scene and calling you a liar. Horrible experience. Never going back again.

Love this place. Very friendly and relaxing. Clean and sanitary. Near great shopping and food. Great place to meet the girls and then pick a place for lunch and shopping.

Tried Classic Nails for the first time today. I will definitely be going back!!! Everyone is so friendly!!! My nails look great! Tron did my nails and he did an awesome job!!! I highly recommend Classic Nails!!!

Amazing! I live in Orlando and was in Ft. Laud for the weekend with my mom. Was referred to Classic Nails by the Courtyard Marriott. Christine did a mani and pedi for my mom and Tron did my mani and pedi. Absolultely wonderful! Such a friendly staff and very attentive. My mom is barely over 4ft tall and had a stroke a couple years ago. They took such good care of her! Very impressed! From my experience with Tron, if you like a good foot/​leg massage, BOOK HIM! I tried to talk him into moving to Orlando =) I will DEFINITELY be coming back when I visit Ft. Lauderdale! ~Mary

So the correct address is 1825 s university drive it is south of 595 in the old Kmart plaza. Not super fancy like Venetian or Nail Trix but I walked in and asked for Trish who rocked it!!! I got a gel manicure and a pedicure. It was worth the trip just for the hand massage. I spent $ 48.88 plus tip. I’ m glad I went.
