HORRIBLE experience here! Would not recommend. Cindy did my nails, my fingers are bleeding and it looks like my 15 year old sister did my nails. They were unclear about pricing and when my guest and I asked about it they responded with laughter. I'll never come back here

Design by Lisa. Love my mani

Very relaxing atmosphere. All the technicians are friendly & very conscientious. One has fun at Classy Nail. Lisa is the tech I usually make my appt (if I make appt). If I don't make appt & just walk in, any tech is great. I like design on my nails. Lisa will accommodate my request & does a great artistic one.

Our pedicures and massages were delightful and Jenny was wonderful. The place was busy but they gave us their undivided attention.

If you are picky about your nails come to Lisa here... she is the absolute best. She took her time and did a beautiful job on my nails and I am a perfectionist!!

Had the worst experience here. Came in for gel manicure as I have in the past and the lady who was removing the gel was unbearably rough with the nail file taking off the gel to the point I had to stop multiple times and told her I no longer wanted to finish the manicure. Pain was unbearable I passed out in the salon. Unable to touch the top of my fingernails without shooting pain. Had to go to urgent care the day after since the pain was so bad and was told there were bruises under each nail. There is nothing to do but wait until the nail grows out since she took off most of my nail. Traumatizing experience.

I recently found this new place in the neighborhood in March, and ever since - I enjoy coming back here for my nails especially because of pro technician like Lisa. She is very patient and creative. When I explain the nail look I want to achieve, she promptly knows, and is caring for all my need. Easy to make appointments whenever I want to, so that's very convenient for my busy schedule. I am happy to find this quiet, clean and spacious nail salon!

So great customer service, I recommend Liya. She did a great job very good massages. The environment of the salon was very clean and they were all friendly!

My nails were destroyed by a bad hard gel removal.

I had my nails done ELSEWHERE with hard gel. When I spoke with that salon prior to my appointment, we discussed polygel & I confirmed they could be soaked off. When I had them done, they used another hard gel & informed me they had to be filed off & likened them to acrylics. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go back to that salon so I stopped in at Classy Nail & Spa after confirming they did acrylics and being told they knew how to remove them safely. Well, not so much. My nails are destroyed. She used the electric drill/file to remove the gel & went WAY too far. It didn't hurt when she removed them so I didn't realize what was going on. My nails are now paper thin & uneven. They snagged & broke way down within 24 hrs after the appointment. They continue to snag as the top of the nail (not the edge) is uneven due to the filing. I am now trying to moisturize them while pushing the cuticle back & taking gelatin and a nail supplement w hope to grow them out a bit quicker. The entire nail will have to grow out before they are "normal" again. It will take MONTHS if not a year. I can't speak to the manicure services (& was planning to go back for one before I realized the damage they did to my nails) but I DEFINITELY do not recommend their removal services for anything beyond a soak off. I won't be going back.

Lisa has been doing my nails for months now - UV Gel and Gel X/après. She's fantastic!

They charge you $63 for an extremely rushed 20 minute gel pedicure. No attention to detail and massage was just a minute or less

I've been coming to Lisa for months now for a UV Gel manicure and she is one of the most detailed, careful people I have ever met.

Hospitality is great, front office manager gentleman is sweet and welcoming. My nail technician was Jee Young. She was professional, meticulous and very thoughtful. I like her calming presence and how she asks if I like my nails every so often. I did a simple cat eye on short nails and the service took about an hour. They were also very accommodating as I moved my service up by an hour for which was very appreciated. I got the Korean maxim coffee drink at the end, and it was just the boost I need to walk back home 22 blocks. Can't wait to come back soon for a pedicure and my next monthly service.

My pedicure from Daisy lasted a month with no chips! As she worked, she checked multiple times to make sure I liked the shape of my nails and how they looked in general. I couldn't recommend this salon enough! They also have chargers everywhere and cool charger/phone holders for when you get pedicures or are drying your nails. Daisy is "Sister 24". You won't regret it.

It truly creates a relaxing atmosphere. However, I've noticed that the quality of the mani & pedi has declined over the years, which has made me hesitant to return, even though it's in the most convenient location for me. These days when I returned, it's just for last minute color change to avoid more damage. I referred a friend to join me for a mani/pedi once, and she also mentioned that while the ambiance is great, but the owners should get their own mani & pedi done by their technicians, which I completely agree with. While I usually don't like getting my cuticles pushed or cut, I really appreciate that they respected that preference. However, when it comes to removing polish, it's done very recklessly with a lack of attention to detail. On several occasions, they've scraped the skin around the nails--sometimes cutting it to the point where it bled and required a bandage. When I mentioned this to the hostess after she asked for feedback, she dismissed it by saying I have sensitive skin. Since when is it normal for skin to be scraped during a mani/pedi? Additionally, I've had gel mani here twice in a row, and the technician over-shaved to the point where my nails ended up paper-thin that I have to ask the technician to apply extra coats to make up for it. One time, the technician even touched my skin with the machine that is used to shave the gel polish off. I've also had my skin scraped during pedicures, which is concerning. Every time I get a gel mani, within two weeks, the polish would start to lift on the cuticle side, which shows a lack of precision during the application. My friend got a regular mani & pedi here, and one of her nails chipped within a day. While I still love the atmosphere and the owners, the decline in the quality of the services, especially regarding polish removal, nail care, and attention to detail, has made me hesitant on coming back.

The interior design of the space is what pulled my attention when walking up 9th Ave. It is chic yet accessible and never approaches being or feeling gaudy. Very clean look (and space). Great color palate used. Very comfortable chairs. Good use of white space accentuated with green angular paint and golden decals and other ornamentations, all done minimally and with purposeful placement. Carmen (my nail tech) made good efforts and took obvious care to give me a nice buff manicure, all for only $27 (+ a small amount of tax). No nips or cuts. No pain. Textbook technique. Picked up well on when I wanted to zen out to the aura of the space and the well-curated spa playlist vs when I was open to a little nail tech kiki. Loved the sugar scrub they use for the hand massage. I take ownership for not getting the pre-cuticle work nail soak as part of the provided service. IMO, if a nail salon doesn't automatically incorporate the soak into your mani, you as the customer should speak up when the softening gel is pulled out and before it is applied. If they don't offer it? That's another thing. But I didn't test those waters and cannot speak to Nail Me Right (goodness gravy I love the business name!). So, keep in mind if the soak is your thing. They were very accommodating from the moment I arrived until I left. So I have a hunch this request wouldn't be a problem. Same with the end result. You as the customer are responsible for checking your nails / hands / feet / whatever before ending the appointment. I was late for my next appointment and did not, later seeing I would've like a little extra work done where the far end of nail edges meets the finger and a shinier buff applied. Again, I am quite sure Carmen would have accommodated had I done my part and spoken up before leaving. Still, I woke up the next morning to those slight extra bits naturally working themselves out (which points to the moisturizing measures NMR applies being of good quality), and my hand looking nice. I plan to pop in next time I'm in the area and in the market for some nail / hand / foot love, and hope you'll consider doing the same to support this family and what they're working to bring to the neighborhood.
