If you are lucky enough to see Bee, do it. You'll become addicted to these incredible nails! She's at the very top of the nail game. No one can do nails like she does. Her crystal art is phenomenal. She created a fantastic space with great peeps. Love the vibe whenever I'm there. read more

I have been to this place three times in the last few months, and have always loved their work and dedication to detail. Renee, the junior tech who I see, is an absolute delight. However. I unfortunately had an appointment the day after an unexpected snowstorm dumped 15-25 centimeters of snow on the city, and because I don't live on a major thoroughfare, I couldn't leave my neighbourhood. I texted the salon the afternoon before my appointment to apologize for not giving 48 hours' notice, and to ask if they would be willing to cancel my appointment because I was trapped in my neighbourhood and couldn't get out. The person who responded - I assume, the owner? - refused to waive the mandatory no-show charge. Small business owners are hurting, I get that. But so are the rest of us, and having to throw away money on an appointment I couldn't honor through no fault of my own is ridiculous and heartless behaviour. I was prepared to buy gift certificates to the salon for several of my friends, but I won't spend money in a salon whose owner doesn't show a trace of empathy for me or for her technicians. read more

I've been going to Classy Claws for a couple of months now and I will never go back to a generic nail salon. They have an awesome vibe, the space is clean, and each and every one of their nail technicians are extremely knowledgeable about their craft. It's the first nail salon that I've been to where the girls are interested and aware of up and coming nail trends and techniques. They are 100% ahead of the curve. Myth is the junior technician that I've been seeing. She is incredibly talented, very attentive to detail and is always up for a design challenge. I've always been very happy with the nails that I leave with and I've received countless compliments on them since I've started going there. My nails always end up looking better than the photo I come in with! I would recommend Classy Claws to everyone who loves beautiful craftsmanship and a great set of nails. Looking forward to my next appointment with Myth! read more

My appointment was at 10:00 and arrived at 10:12 due to traffic. It took me an hour to get here. I was denied service and charged $127 at exactly 10:10. I understand I was there 2 minutes out of the "grace period" but for something that was beyond my control (traffic) $127 was hard to swallow. Would not recommend this place to anyone who has to travel far! read more

Bee is simply amazing! She is incredibly talented and I am always in love with my nails. I have seen my share of nail ladies and no one can compare to her quality of work and design. My nails last usually 3 - 4 weeks before I see any lifting. I have never had a broken nail. I could not be happier with the quality! When I get my bling finger all the crystals stay on strong. Before I came to classy claws I would bring in pintrest photos of the nails I wanted, always leaving disappointed because my nails did not look as good as the phone. Since going to Bee my nails look even better than the photo I brought in. I am always stopped in the street and complimented about my amazing classy claws! read more

Classy Claws Nail Studio - My Nicaragua nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

First came to this nail location because of a friend. Decided to check it out, and was not disappointed! This was my first time using the nail forms instead of the typical glue on tips. This method took a bit longer but it was worth it in the end. The shape and form were amazing! Highly recommended! read more

The WORST manicure I have everrr had done in my life. I would never step foot in this place again. The technician had an attitude to match, I literally had to go somewhere else the next day and have them fixed. That's how bad it was, also they pay there clients to leave them good reviews. Just so you know. I would have benefited from reading a review like this. So I'm taking some time to leave one. Would have saved me the wasted energy on the visit to this place. read more

Classy claws is the best spot I've ever been to in Canada the states and Mexico . Bee is amazingly talented and has immaculate work and an eye for detail ! Highly recommend ! Nav is also super amazing at threading best job at brows I've ever had super clean painless and comfortable !

I have had the pleasure of seeing Myth, a junior technician at CC, twice & each time I have left over the moon. Myth is so talented, kind and creative and always makes my nail dreams come true! She is very hard-working and meticulous with each nail and her expertise really shines through. I am always impressed with the techniques, trends and applications she uses on my nails. CC has a rad vibe all around. The girls always are looking to support local businesses as well which I find amazing! Can't wait for my next appointment, Myth! read more

I'm getting married in a few days in Vegas and wanted something special so rather than seeing my usual gal I booked with Bee, and I sure am glad I did! My appointment was at 9:30am and I'm NOT a morning person, but Bee was super easy to chat with. I brought a pic of some purpley/greenie/bluish chrome nails which was my only reference. I'd seen the shop Insta so I felt pretty comfortable to just let her do her thing with the art. They turned out great - definitely not your average wedding set! They're definitely priced higher than your local chop shop but you're getting what you pay for - good quality hard and soft gel, cleanliness and know how. I also really appreciate not being rushed through as she took her time to make sure everything was right. I've already booked my next appointment - this chrome finish is likely to become addicting! read more

All time favourite manicure, and I've probably had a hundred or more over the years at various salons all throughout Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond. B is soo much fun and her salon is absolutely gorgeous - she is so dedicated to her work and meticulous with every aspect of the customer experience. I will never go anywhere else. read more

I started going to Classy Claws about 4 months ago and I have to admit that after my first time, I was hooked for two reasons: 1. Their products are qualiteee and it shows, period! 2. Myth! She's super easy to talk to, professional, sweet, and what a perfectionist! Most of all, I love that she speaks her mind and takes pride in her work. I always come in with a vision (some picture I found on Pinterest) and ask her if she can recreate it. Myth takes my vision (tells me if she doesn't like it) and makes it better!!! I highly recommend her! read more

Having been to a different nail salon every time I would get my nails done, this habit stopped as soon as I came to Classy Claws! Bee, the nail artist, does an amazing job every time; her creativity and hard work shows through the great-quality nails she creates for you. And I can never get over the so many different glitters and nail colors she has! I love everything about classy claws. I recommend her to everyone I know, because everyone deserves to have kick-ass/beautiful nails :) read more

Her work is okay - great for shape, but application of the polish... could be better. While she takes the time and effort to make sure that your desired nail shape is on par and seems to take great pride in it, I have however on multiple occasions noticed air bubbles in the nail polish application - not sure if she failed to notice or just didn't care. Having marketed herself as a high end nail salon/studio, one would hope that you would receive much better service. No frills if that's what you're into. No 'manicures' here. Just nail applications/fills/polish changes. (Approx $60+) And it's pricey too. I think a salon only really deserves your money when they give you the whole salon experience - massage/soaking/and actually caring for your hands/feet. Classy Claws is not worth it. Basically zero customer service - she's really catty and has an air of she couldn't give a damn about whatever you think. The business is all money-minded, she actually prefers if you get more than a simple set - get the crystals and designs and other stuff - where she makes more money for doing so. I was probably one of her least favourite clients. Well, she's now my least favourite nail aesthetician. Also, trying to make an appointment is akin to puling your hair out. I'd messaged her multiple times trying to make an appointment for about a week to no reply whatsoever. This might have been because I wanted the gel nails removed, while messaging her to get an appointment for a fill went without a hiccup. I had originally been thinking of coming back for another set from her again in a few months, but now have zero desire to come back to bee. Getting your nails done with her is like signing a deal with the devil, as long as you keep coming back for fills, its all good. Want a removal without a new application? Dream on. I was basically 'ghosted' by her for wanting a simple removal, (Approx $10-15) probably because she wouldn't be able to then charge me an arm and a leg for doing so. Snob move. I showed my eyelash extension aesthetician the text exchange and she agreed with me. Nail shaping - 9/10 Nail polish application - 6/10 Customer service - 0/10 Appointment scheduling - 0/10 Overall - 3/10 Also, I just want to say that Lilly M's review is totally on point. I totally agree with her review. No idea why it's "not recommended". Just going to copy paste the particular parts that really felt similar to what I experienced: "She has such a horrible attitude. She's catty and has absolutely 0 customer service. She speaks under her breath and doesn't look at you or smiles thus, making you feel very and extremely unwelcomed. I tried talking to make some conversation, but she would reply with one word quietly and or not reply at all. She does not give a single damn about what you want to get done on your nails. Say you don't like the the shape or length, she will respond with an attitude making you feel like you're a burden for having something fixed. Her prices are very high. So, naturally, you'd want good nails and actually want them live up to what she shows on instagram. That brings me to my next point. She did my nails WAY too thick. When I saw her instagram photos, the nails she's done are not even remotely as thick as mine. It was as if she half-assed my nails just to get it over and done with. However, the shape is pretty good. On top of all that, I honestly had high expectations in the design aspect. Her work on social media is phenomenal and absolutely clean and professional. So, I thought: okay fine maybe she'll do good on this SIMPLE design I'm going to ask for. I tell her what I want and she literally has no idea what I'm talking about. So, I explain to her and she starts doing it and I'm looking at it and it looks absolutely sloppy. It doesn't take a professional to perform what I asked for. I literally could have done it better at home. Overall, her work on my nails did not impress me. Sitting with her for an hour and a half was an absolute nightmare, it was awkward and uncomfortable and she gave off unfriendly vibes. I left her place feeling like I've wasted my time and money and just felt completely discouraged since I was excited to finally have my nails get done by her. Oh and forgot to mention that talking with her to make an appointment, is super slow. She does not reply fast (since it is over text). She's not worth the hype and spending $80 was not worth it." "Also, completely forgot to mention that her nail polish application is absolute TRASH. The nail polish is uneven and she left the tips clear. Needless to say, she cheated me. Made me pay $80 thinking she's a professional when really, it looks like I got my nails done by an amateur." AND THIS LAST PART IS TRUE: DO NOT go to her if you are not "well-known" or don't establish a connection with her. She will not give a damn about giving you the service she supposedly displays on her social media." read more

First of all I'd like to mention that this review will have absolutely no positivity. Okay let me start: She has such a horrible attitude. She's catty and has absolutely 0 customer service. She speaks under her breath and doesn't look at you or smiles thus, making you feel very and extremely unwelcomed. I tried talking to make some conversation, but she would reply with one word quietly and or not reply at all. She does not give a single damn about what you want to get done on your nails. Say you don't like the the shape or length, she will respond with an attitude making you feel like you're a burden for having something fixed. Her prices are very high.

When I saw her instagram photos, the nails she's done are not even remotely as thick as mine. It was as if she half-assed my nails just to get it over and done with. However, the shape is pretty good. On top of all that, I honestly had high expectations in the design aspect. Her work on social media is phenomenal and absolutely clean and professional.

Oh and forgot to mention that talking with her to make an appointment, is super slow. She does not reply fast (since it is over text). She's not worth the hype and spending $80 was not worth it. **UPDATE**: About a week and a half into having my nails done about 3 fingernails started to lift (I have not done any rough work whatsoever). Now it is about 2 weeks and a few days and my thumb has lifted dramatically, almost everything gets stuck underneath. Especially my hair. The other fingernails are starting to lift more and it is frankly annoying. I also forgot to mention that when she was applying the gel to my nail bed, so much of it got underneath my nails and there are lumps of hard gel which I cannot remove, and I can't express enough how irritating it is. Also, completely forgot to mention that her nail polish application is absolute TRASH. The nail polish is uneven and she left the tips clear. Needless to say, she cheated me. Made me pay $80 thinking she's a professional when really, it looks like I got my nails done by an amateur. DO NOT go to her if you are not "well-known" or don't establish a connection with her. She will not give a damn about giving you the service she supposedly displays on her social media. read more

I've never had a bad experience at Classy Claws. All the girls here are so talented and I can always count them for an entertaining service. Good music, good vibes and damn good nails. This is the best nail place in the Vancity! read more

DONT GO HERE. NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. RUDE OWNER, DESTROYED MY NAILS (infection and over filing) AND REFUSED TO TALK TO ME. I was a customer for almost 6 months, when she claimed that she had to move my appointment back from January 18th, to February 2nd, because of an emergency medical leave(when I called to talk to another technician, they said they had no idea what I was talking about) and then I actually continued to watch her do nails on Instagram for the next month. Well all my nails, had broken off. When I went to call, to reschedule my appointment by 15 minuets because I had a family emergency in which a family member was in a coma, they tried to charge me for a set/appointment in which I never ended up receiving. I understand you have a policy, but I waited for almost two months just for a new set. I was going to be 15 minuets late, not an hour. I accommodated a non existent medical leave, and watched her take new clients, while my nails all broke, and my real nails now are in such bad shape, I can't actually go get a new set put on until my nailbeds regrow out because of how much she filed my nail beds down. If you're Bad and Boujee, you have 50 bucks to tip, or you're willing to wait 2+ hours for an appointment that you had booked at 1:30, but she had to push back for no reason, then this is the place for you. I was treated like crap, and I don't think anybody deserves to be treated like that. She pulled my arm across her nail station, and said "holy fuck, get back in your lane". Because my arms were stiff. I actually have really severe anxiety, and I was having a panic attack. That's no way to talk to your paying customer. I'm ashamed to say things like this happened every time I went. I'm so ashamed to say I promoted this place. I don't know what I did to be treated this poorly, when I was always friendly, and tipped. Even when she was horribly rude to me. I'm expecting the owner to blame me, since she did such a good job at embarrassing me publicly! Not to mention she was always texting while doing my nails, and the last time I was there she was even eating pizza. I never saw a sanitized tool, and I guess that came back to bite me in the ass. (I ended up with an infection in both pointer fingers.) Don't be fooled by her Instagram, there's nothing high class about walking into a nail salon that smells like weed. read more

Love these girls! I've only been once, but I followed classy claws on Instagram for awhile. Which is where I also found little myth! She's a sweet heart and a talented little lady! You make my tropical kawaii dreams come true! It was refreshing to go to classy claws. Rad girl hangout! read more

I have tried tons of nail places in Vancouver and none compare to Classy Claws. Her work is outstanding and never disappoints. It has been just over a year of going to Bee and she knows exactly what my style is and kills it every time. Her hard working attitude and passion for what she does is absolutely amazing. I work front desk at a salon and am constantly getting compliments on how great my nails look and how excited people are to see what I do next. I am constantly recommending her to other people. After finding Classy Claws I won't go anywhere else. read more

Bee is the bestttt. I did a lot of research on nail salons and what good quality acrylics should be before going to Classy Claws, and Bee's work is honestly amazing. She works with your input to ensure that you leave with nails that you love, and the nails are always shaped nicely, are durable, the polish is always even, everything lasts 3-4 weeks which is amazing since most salons require 2 week fills, I get mine done every 4 weeks instead. I've seen some people complain about the price but acrylic nails are a luxury to begin with. If you don't think it's worth the money, you don't have to get them done. But if you have the money and are willing to make the investment, I heavily recommend coming to Class Claws! It may be a little pricier than some salons, but it's because you pay for what you get: the quality is amazing. :) read more

Classy claws is home to the best nail techs in all of vancouver! I see Jesse and her nails are the strongest acrylic sets I've ever had. I fell about 15 feet off a building and sprained both my hand and ankle and didn't lose a single nail! My set looks just as fresh as when I left the studio! I'll be recommending Jesse to everyone I know! read more

I might be biased but Classy Claws is the only nail studio you should be going to in Vancouver.

This place is awesome - it is fun, fresh and clean! So inspiring to see young female entrepreneurs succeed. Myth did my nails (gels) for my wedding and they were absolutely perfect! Her attention to detail is impeccable and I would recommend her to anyone! read more
