Classy Nails

This location is not hygienic, I saw them use dirty scrapers (which aren’t allowed in Washington) and old/​used foot brushes (which looked like they came from the dollar store). My feet itched and burned after getting a pedicure here.
Also I received a shellac manicure at the same time, when I asked for a bond (typical first step in shellac or gel manicure) as a first coat I was yelled at by the owner. Surprise surprise my shellac manicure and my friend’s shellac manicure have chipped after two days, since they didn’t put a bond on and didn’t add a liberal top coat.
To top off the experience, she over charged us on purpose, $ 70 for a mani-​pedi and a foot rash? No thank you. Don’t go here.

Very rude ppl they do a very good job but are rude to u. I brought my 10 year old daughter n to get her nails painted n she’s never had her nails painted and a nail salon before and when they told her where to sit and she handed in their nail polish she handed it to the wrong person and they started talking in their language laughing and did not talk to her the rest of the time we were there they did not talk to me they are very rude they do a good job on your nails though but not a family-​friendly Place definitely not good with children

I have been coming here off and on for many years (I grew up in the area, moved away for college, then moved back to my hometown) always great service. The 4 stars is because they do like to speak in their foreign language a lot and it can be uncomfortable. Overall, I really like their attention to detail. I typically get a shellac manicure. Tina is always willing to try fun, new styles as I keep up with the latest in nail trends.

The reason why I gave them 2 stars is because of the service. Now I know going to a salon where the technicians don’t speak English can be a bit tricky not to mention that you’re also putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation since all they do is speak in their native language and you sit there wondering what the hell they’re saying and if they’re talking about you. But the lady who did my nails did indeed speak english, yet the whole 1.5-ish hrs that I was there, she never once tried to engage in conversation. Didn’t ask how I was doing, nothing of the sort. She and the other technicians just spoke amongst themselves the WHOLE ENTIRE TIME. which was why I felt compelled to write a review. I just thought «how rude.» I know most salons are the same situation, but the few that I’ve been to, they try to chat with their cilents even a little. But to not be acknowledged at all? How rude. definitely robotic-​like service.
Also, their massages are painful. They call that a massage? Thought she was taking her anger out on me the way she was beating on my legs and feet. Just awful.

I LOVE this place. Kim is amazing ! I come here every month and always get compliments on my nails

Great place close to home. I had a full set of acrylics white tip yesterday and they are beautiful. I have not had them in awhile so my nails are a little sore. The tech was great, good conversation but knew when to let me relax. Everyone was busy but I did not have to wait long. They changed their hours to accommodate clients. Very nice nail shop, will be back when I need a fill.

I will never go again. As a walk-​in, I waited 15 minutes for a the two attendants (one male one female), to eat lunch, then the female came and started working on my nails. Someone came in about 5 minutes after she started and spoke Vietnamese to her, she got up and went with the new person into the back, no explanation, not a word. She was gone for about 20 minutes. The male continued playing video games and finally came over to me after about 15 minutes to continue filing. Finally with the female came back out he started yelling at her, not a clue what was said but the anger in his voice was unmistakable. She came back to finish me, he went back to his video games. Why I put up with such disrespect, I’ll never know but will never happen again.

I had been going to this salon for about a year. The last visit was not so pleasant. I went in for a gel mani/​pedi. While in the middle of my pedicure a young gal came up and started in on the mani, it felt like a production line… not relaxing at all. She was super quick, and did a really shotty job. For instance while pushing back the cuticles she barely even touched some of the nails. Then when it came time to shaping I asked for square, but a little rounded at the edges… what I ended up with was really weird looking, one of the nails was lopsided but they were done so short that there was no saving them. Then came time for the gel. She did one coat of the white, and numerous times bumped them having to redo them. Then she didn’t let them cure long enough, only one round in the light… she said that was enough. At the end she massaged one hand, then when the other one was done she booted me out the door because another customer walked in. Needless to say the cure time was not enough and they promptly started cracking and looking like crap. When it came to the point that I couldn’t take it anymore, I went down to the Splash Nail Bar and found myself a new place to get nails done. One where they actually take the time to do a good job… and they were even cheaper than this place! While the sanitation process here seems good, the service has gone down in my book and I will not be going back, which makes me sad because I like the convenience… but I’ll drive the extra 3 min to get to the SNB.

I absolutely LOVE this place! I go there every month. I always ask Kim to do the most detailed designs on my nails for the theme of the month, (halloween, christmas). I always ask for Kim or her husband, they are the fastest and the best. Kim’s neck massages also keep me coming back, haha. Will continue to go here as long as I live in the area. :)

Best mani pedi ever. They are all very nice. But I love Kim’s mani pedis. And their spa pedicure is great. You get what you pay for.

They have a small selection of nail polish to choose from, but otherwise no complaints here! The pedicure massage chairs look brand new and are the best I’ve come across in ANY nail salon both in the greater Seattle area and in New York. Most pedicure massage chairs only have massaging features for your back. These ones actually manage to massage your legs too! It feels great on my IT bands.
The place itself is not fancy and a little cluttered, but it’s clean (or maybe having lived in NY for 3 years, my standard for «clean» has been lowered… eeek! No, I don’t think that’s the case). I come here for the pedicure. They do a great job and the pedicure comes with an awesomely long and relaxing massage… *sigh* paradise.
My sister comes here all the time, so we always get great service and we never have to wait because we usually come during the day. They do accept credit cards, but they charge 50 (or 75) cents.

I love this place the girls are amazing fast and do good quality work I will only come her for my mani/​pedi days

I have been going to Classy Nails for several years now. At first I loved it. The spa like chairs are comfortable and the service was excellent. They added some new chairs and even though they are busy, I have never had to wait.
Last year I would have given them 4 stars. The service has changed and they have added new staff. I have a pedicure monthly.
In the past 3 – 4 months the service has been iffy at best. One time I felt like I was on an assembly line. One person seated me and set me up in the chair. Then after-​a-​while a very young woman — teenager maybe — took off my nail polish. Then after awhile another person did the manicure, then the owner put on the nail polish. Twice I had a older woman — sorry she’s not that old — just most of the women who work there are very young — do my pedicure. She was fine — very very slow and methodical. Then the last time I had another very young woman do my pedicure. My guess is she was just licensed. I have seen her hanging around and talking on her cell phone in the past. She’s very cutesie and maybe in her late teens. It was an awful experience. My pedicure was actually painful.
I am on Unilocal now looking for another place to get my monthly pedicure. I hate to leave them because it is around the block from my house, but the service is not dependable.

I’ve been coming here for almost three years. The owners are lovely, their staff is friendly, and the place is clean. They know me, they always ask me how my son is doing, and I appreciate the fact that every time someone comes through the door, they greet them with a friendly smile and a greeting.
My ONLY gripe is that they don’t use a new nail file and buffer block for every customer. They do sanitize the metal tools, which is reassuring, but I don’t like the idea that a nail file that was used on someone that might have a fungus was then used on me. There’s no way to sanitize those things, but nail files and buffer blocks are cheap, and their prices aren’t exactly the lowest in the area, so I’m not sure why they don’t do a little extra for their clients. I’m going to start bringing my own, but it would be nice if they started doing that. Also, I wish that they had a better selection of more «classic» colors– pale pinks, true reds, etc. There is a large selection of polishes, but it’s a lot of crazy colors that I’m just not into. Again, I bring my own polish a lot of times, so it’s not a big deal.

I’ve been going here for a couple years now.. can’t complain.. they don’t talk too much.. but are really friendly and right around the corner from my house!

I am so shocked by thr bad reviews. I loved the way my nails (hands and toes) looked when I left this salon. Also thought their customer service was fabulous!

ok I just got a fill ($ 18) and 4 nails fixed ($ 8) with gel ($ 3) and it was $ 29 and I leave a $ 5 tip.
I’m happy with how they look — Also I called this morning at 9:30AM and she squeezed me in so that I could be on the freeway by 11:30. Actually I left her shop at 11:15.
I got my full set here over 2 weeks ago (hence the 4 nails I had to have fixed) and I had a pedicure too.
I have NOTHING negative to pick at or report.
The pedi was great, I showed up at 7pm and they had me mani’ed and pedi’ed by 8PM. There were two HS age girls there when I got there getting glittery tips put on and an older woman (even older than me!) having her LOOONG natural nails done. I just had a full set with white tips done very short for work. I think he did a great job, not freakin’ PERFECT ok, but totally an improvement over my own nasty nails and I did a little of my own shaping the next day cause I’m a freak like that…
I went to a nail salon (that I’m not going to name) and they gave me a counterfit $ 5 bill from a special envelope. I had been going there for a long time. THAT disappointed me–
I went to another one and they cut my nail to the quick with that dremel drill. That hurt…
This one is close to where I live and so far is good. They are careful with my inferior paper thin nails and they are skillful. I found their tools to be clean – they have an autoclave, so I don’t understand the other people who have objected to this shop.
We have so many in our area, that you should find one that you like and stick with it, unless they pull the crap that those other two pulled on me. BTW, when the salon that cut me found out about it, they offered me a free mani. The other shop, that passed me the fake $ 5 will get caught at some point and I hope it’s soon.
Most small shops can’t handle 3 people coming in at once for the same service. For those of you going out to get a pedi in big groups, you will sacrifice the cheaper price a small, family run place like this has to offer.

Dirty shop, rude staff. 3 of us came in at the time they recommended. Then we waited 45 minutes for a pedicure. The others in my party were finished before someone started my pedi. Just as I was about to get up and leave, the owner finally sat down. Got a 15 minute pedicure and I hurried out. $ 32 for what?

I have been going here since I they moved into terrace. Awesome little place and very friendly!

i’ve been going here for years… mani/​pedi, acrylics, waxing (of all types… if you know what i mean), and it’s always been fantastic. also lower priced than most nail salons (i.e. 25 for full set, 18 for fill).
