I've been coming here for a while now because they always do an exceptional job. Karen is the best at acrylics- sometimes I'm not able to come back for a fill for up to four weeks and my nails have never come off in the interim, or chipped. She truly takes pride in her work and it shows. Not only that but she's extremely time efficient which is great for my busy schedule. The salon meets all the health guidelines and is still my favorite go to place for nails in Portland. Thank you classy nails! read more

New to this place and had a great first time! Called in around 3pm for a last minute Acrylic fill, and they got me in at 6pm! I got Karen, she was very knowledgeable and the way she did my nails showed her excitement and passion with nails. She had multiple options for colors, stickers and diamonds. I went with the bling I love them! Thank you Karen!!! read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews because I don't want to negatively impact the business. However I had a really bad experience here. I went in with my 2 daughters, age 6 and 9. I told the woman I just wanted a polish change for their hands and feet (just taking them for fun) and I wanted a dip mani for myself. Their color selection was limited and I asked for a dark charcoal gray (not black). I wanted the ring finger to be half mint green. My nails came out so uneven and wonky looking. The dip is layered so thick and wavy, I'm embarrassed by them. They are also jet black and the line is uneven. She rushed through them at breakneck speeds even though no one else was there except us. Then I got the bill... it was $179 for the 3 of us!!! Like wut? Ive never in my life spent this much on our mani pedis. They ended up charging me for full adult mani pedis for my kids. When I asked why, they said "next time ask for the kid's version". Ummm, wut? Do they not appear as children to you? I have to know the secret password to get kid pricing for a kid service? Anyway, I walked out of there feeling robbed. And embarrassed about the price I paid, and my nasty looking nails. read more

This place is the only place in SE Portland I will ever go for my mani/pedi. It's clean, you are offered a beverage (with or without alcohol) and everyone is so nice and accommodating. My pedicure was like heaven today, the massage, the paraffin, the hot stones...I wanted to fall asleep. My nails were shaped just the way I like, unlike most places, where they look like a platypus bill. Spa type music was playing, which was a relaxing touch. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place. The staff are so welcoming cheerful and really good at doing manicures and pedicures. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I thought I'd reviewed Classy Nails a long time ago, but apparently I haven't! I've been going here for over a year and Karen, Tina, and everyone else are absolutely wonderful! The services are very fairly priced and the attention to detail is unbeatable. If ever there is an issue (which is rare), they happily fix it, no questions asked. The salon is always spotless, all the way down to the bathroom (no dust bunnies in sight!). They provide complimentary refreshments with your service (alcoholic or not) and always have relaxing classical music playing. The massage chairs for the pedis feel amazing, and service is always fast and accommodating. The only downside is the salon can get busy (bad for me, great for them!) so it's best to go during off times if you want a more relaxing experience. They are, however, INCREDIBLY accommodating if you need to get in last-minute. 10/10 would recommend, and I'll continue to be a happy customer. read more

Love that they are open until 7:00- it was the only nail salon I could find open that late! Not only did they do an excellent job, they squeezed me in after 6:00 and even stayed late to make sure I had the best experience possible. Everyone there is so sweet - the young woman at the front desk is so friendly!! Sometimes nail techs don't talk much or ask any questions during the service. They all were so friendly. Good vibes in there and I got two glasses of white wine. read more

The uncounted time that I come in here for my nails. Classy Nails and Spa always my favorite place to go for. They welcome people by their smiles, take their time on every client, and make a professional jobs. I say that because my full set have been done about three weeks before and nothing happens such as breaking. Amazing!! Last Saturday, I brought my friends coming here for their pedicures and manicures. And, they had a lot of compliments on the nails by their co-workers. Which is nice. We highly recommend this place for ! read more

If you aren't getting your nails done at Classy Nails, you probably don't look as good as you should! Karen is a perfectionist and made sure my long, coffin nails looked picture perfect! She paid close attention to detail and she was also very efficient and quick with her tools. The price was very reasonable and the environment is very relaxing. Even the other customers being tended to were kind and friendly, I felt very comfortable. I just moved here from Miami, Florida and I needed a new nail technician I could trust and that knew their stuff. I felt like I had such good luck finding Karen and I will be returning to see her very soon! I had no problem finding parking right in front of the establishment and they also offer a free complimentary drink (soft drink, water, Margaritas, mimosas, champagne and wine also) read more

I stopped by and I asked if I could have some service because it says walk-ins welcome. I was told that I had to come back in a couple of hours at 6:15. Fair enough. I walked in and somebody said what do you want and I said I have an appointment. And they said well what do you want. So I explained that I had an appointment for a pedicure manicure and had to pay $6 for covid stuff. So I stood around for a few minutes and then I said do you want me to sit here and she said sit over there and it was kind of dusty so I asked for a rag. And she said go sit in another place. And I said could I get a rag please and she went and got me a rag and then she started to prepare the chair that was dusty for her work. I explained that I needed the chair to be dusted a little bit because I have a lot of allergies. Then she put me in that chair. And there was no back support and I asked if I could move the chair back forward so I had support and she said just relax we'll be with you in a minute. I put my purse behind my back. They came over and started soaking my feet for what seemed like 20 minutes. During that time somebody brought me a pillow for my back. I asked for a second one and that was brought to me. And I said the only thing you can't do is massage my arms and my legs because it will hurt me. They started the pedicure and before I know it she was rubbing what felt like sand and glue into my legs. It started to burn and I asked them not to do that and they rinsed it off. They they asked me again what I wanted and showed me a menu and I said I want what she told me it was going to be when I first came in and they look sort of dismayed and said okay. Then I noticed that she wasn't taking care of my calluses and I said oh I'm sorry how much is it to get you to do my calluses? I was just asking. She got upset with me and said we can't do your calluses now because your polish is on. I said I'm not asking you to and I want to know for the future how much it is to get my calluses done. She immediately got defensive and started talking to me about how I didn't tell her I had calluses and I said well you didn't ask me what kind of service I wanted You told me how much it was and to come back. I have a real grievance these days with people that don't tell you how much something is for their service. It happens a lot. So I said I just want to know for next time. And she said something about we don't know if you can come back here and I said are you firing me? And she got so defensive and was telling me all the things I did wrong and I remain calm and nice. Finally I said, I told you not to massage my legs and you hurt me. And she said a bunch of sentences that didn't make any sense and stormed out of the salon and the lady that was doing the work was very nice and finished up and I gave her a little bit of a tip. Then the lady says, if you put your shoes on it's going to ruin your polish. I said well the other lady told me not to worry about it And that the shop would take care of me. I don't have any flip-flops right now and she brought me these paper thin pieces of foam to put on my feet that I'm walking around the parking lot with and I have to drive home with. Of course I'll never go back there. But just warning you if you don't fit into their idea of what they think you should do and want and allow them to upsell you, they're not going to be happy with you as a customer. And if you expect professionalism when there's an issue, you can forget about that. The word millennial stuck in my mind. The person who was in charge (I think) made it into a drama and there was no drama. It's too bad because when people meet my special needs which are not that demanding (I mean, they don't have to do massage on me), I tip really well and I'm a very nice customer. I remained nice for this whole session even though it was awkward and uncomfortable. And painful when they took product with grit and rubbed it into my leg after I told them not to. read more

Looking for a place we could get a quick reservation on the weekend. They had us in only a couple hours after we called. Very kind and attentive assistance with our pedicures.

We will definitely be back. read more

I've been going here since it opened. Today was my last visit. Had an appointment for a pedicure; it was busy when I entered, but was seated in a timely manner. Then it got very busy. I think I had the manager give me my pedicure since she was the one who talked to customers and handled the business. She was so distracted managing customers and trying to call for back up that I received very minimal service. She skipped parts of the pedicure (or shortened other parts) in order to get me out the door. When I pointed it out, she stated she did what I requested already, but she was so focused on juggling customers I doubt she remembered what she had done or had not done. The pedicure was so quick and so minimal that she had finished mine long before my sister's was finished, and my sister's treatment started well before mine. I doubt they'll miss my business; they're too centrally located and convenient to do badly, business-wise. And the staff is fairly nice, but I can't recommend them since the service is minimal, even if you have an appointment. If you do decide to use them, my suggestion is to go when it's slow; you'll get attention then. read more

I have quit this salon twice before and today we agreed that I would not be back because I dared to complain for having to wait 15 minutes for my appointment. Yes, the person who did my nails told me not to come back. My issue is with double booking. If you are 5 minutes late for an appointment, after going there for years, they will take a walk-in and make you wait. But if you are on time, and they are 10-15 minutes late their explanation is that you should have to expect to always wait that long. She said waiting 10-15 minutes is standard for the industry. I even offered to come back, but she said no the wait is only 3 minutes which was simply not true. I've seen people wait in pedicure chairs through my entire appointment because they are double booked. Finally, there is only one person who can do fills. So you are always at her mercy. She always races through my fill to make up for lost time as I guess pedicures are more profitable. For me, the bottom line is if you have unlimited time and patience then this place may work for you. I kept going back because they are so close to my house, but the extra 5 minutes of driving time to go elsewhere will be well with it in quality of the work and less aggravation. read more

Karen did my nails today and she was wonderful! Someone else stepped in to help as well but I didn't catch her name unfortunately! They were not prepared to do a design for me time wise but they made it work and I am so appreciative for it. I look forward to going there again! read more

I went here and spent $47 before tip on my dip nails with extensions. I got them Saturday and by Sunday 1 had broken off while I was grabbing groceries , so I went back to get it fixed and the the next day FOUR broke off. Just throughout the day I'd notice my nail is gone or I went to touch a touch screen at a store and it just flipped right off. It's now Saturday again and my pointer finger nail broke off today with a section of my REAL nail (so painful) and I ended up taking the nails off myself. I've never had such an experience getting my nails done before. I've never had nails fall off so quickly and I've never ever had a nail ripped off with the extension. There's hundreds of nail places in Portland. This isn't it. read more

I do not ever like to review on the negative however I feel it's needed. I have been getting acrylic nails most of my life never have them lift EVER!! I started going to classy nails a year ago then last few times they lift within a short time of getting them done. My nails always last upwards of 5 weeks. Most recently only 8 days post fill and a nail completely lifted off without any trauma to my nail. I called told them what happened and it was like I did something wrong and they overly explained that THEY don't make mistakes. Anyway i had them fix it but boy was it an ordeal. She proceeds to say that after 5 days they charge for a repair.... I held my ground and insisted it's free of charge she reluctantly said ok then said if you want to try another place as they don't make mistakes.... We'll then I will try another. . No customer service no benefit of the doubt no personal responsibility. I even brought the 100% lifted nail in with me. :/ Also raised prices &50 for s fill. Not worth it. Typical where everything is high customer service when you are a new customer. Then ..... it switches. Too bad as like to stay loyal to the same place for years. read more

I paid $15 extra for this design. I asked for a top coat and was told I didn't need one. The white line she used for an outline was showing (not what I wanted). She (I think her name was Tina) tried to cover it with glitter but that didn't work so I decided to just deal with it (didn't have much choice anyway). Well, but the time I got home I had lost 3 jewels and by the time I was able to get back to fix it THE NEXT DAY I had lost a lot more. I asked to exchange the jewels for a glitter ombré AND SHE WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE OMBÉ! Wtf!? Why? I just paid for a design yesterday that was subpar and now you want to charge me again? At the end of the day I paid for a design but I don't have one. Very disappointed and will not be back. read more
