Bu is an angel. Hubby is suffering from in grown toe nail pain so bad he can't walk much. We called and asked if anyone can help and Bu replied confidently that she can help. She knew exactly what to do. She was so compassionate about his pain as well. She has crazy attention to details. She cares so much and spent a lot of time to make sure it's done perfectly. I am genuinely moved by her work. She doesn't have to care so much but she does. We are both so grateful. read more

So happy with my gel manicure. I love coming here they are the best in town. I suggest calling and booking an appointment. read more

One of the best pedicures I've ever had! Walked in last minute on the morning of Dec 24th. The staff was super nice and welcoming. The space is very clean, and quite large- even when it's full and busy it does not feel crowded. The service was just great - fast but not at all rushed. I think this place may be a bit pricier than others in the neighborhood but it is well worth it. read more

Just got these done!! Asked for a gel manicure, showed a reference picture from Pinterest, and the nice lady who did my nails did amazing!

If you're looking for a place near Pacific Grove or Monterey to get your nails done don't hesitate to go to Classy Nails on Lighthouse in Monterey! (Definitely classy :) ) read more

The staff, a family, are very friendly; and more importantly the place is clean and tidy! read more

I have never been charged to have gel polish removed to get a new and complete Gel manicure but in this place or is this normal here in Monterey?! To get a gel manicure removing the old polish THEY WILL charge and its not included in their gel mani Service -WHAT?! I paid $67 for gel mani and basic pedi while I pay $42 in San Ramon for the same service. Their Service was nothing Special but ridiculously priced to not include polish removal. Plus 3 people worked on me - I am not tipping 3 people and the tip just went to your expensive yet very regular Service. read more

My daughter and I had mani and pedi's, and they did an excellent job! Superb detail and wonderful customer service. We will be back!

Parking lot has maybe 6 spots and shares with Baskin Robbins and Plato's closet. The shop is nice. Nothing special. I paid $82 (without tip) for a plain gel mani and pedi and it took approximately 1.5 hrs with one person completing all services. This is on a Thursday mid afternoon before Memorial weekend. It wasn't busy and there wasn't a line. The pedicure wasn't anything special. It was your typical sugar scrub and the massage was more of just putting lotion on your legs. They were cordial and nice. We even had some good laughs over them putting my socks on upside down. They do have a great selection of neutral/nude nail polishes. The polish job on both my hands and nails were neat. They didn't paint my skin and the coats were smooth and even. They are CASH ONLY but the Cannery Row deli down on Drake and Cannery Row has an ATM machine. There is a 7-11 being built directly across the street. I'm sure there will be an ATM there as well. Update: My gel nail polish peeled off THREE days later. It lifted and started getting stuck in my hair and snagging on other things so I was able to peel the polish off four fingers like the old school Tinkerbell polish I got as a kid. Not cool. Probably not coming back here. read more

Great Job! The salon is pretty standard but the girls are wonderful and the massage chairs work excellent. I was in town for a wedding with my Mom and we wanted to get our nails done. They did such a excellent job. It was so relaxing. I enjoyed the whole process. I got compliments on my nails from strangers which normally never happens. read more

Such a sweet family! If I lived in Monterey this would be my salon spot. I got a gel manicure and the work is perfect. Everyone is very attentive to your needs and I felt like home there. This salon deserves 10 stars. read more

I recommend Classy Nails to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, quality experience! I got a gel mani/pedi at this salon, and was extremely pleased with the results. I had two different technicians working on me, and they both did a great job. They had a high level of attention to detail, taking great care of my cuticles and callouses. They were gentle, yet extremely precise and took care of everything for me. I loved the color selection at the salon as well, and they were extremely accommodating. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town! read more

So this place was nice and empty on a Saturday. We made an appointment. Once we got there we filled out some Covid consent forms. Everything was nice from the pedicure to manicure, I felt like they took their time to make sure everything was good. Only downside is they take cash only so make sure you have some doe with you. read more

The people in this nail salon do an outstanding job! I have done gel on my nails a couple of times with them and every time I have been happier than before! I love their attention to details and the facts that is lasts so long on your nails without any chipping! I have tried some other places in Monterey as well as other locations in Bay area and this place by far has been my best experience. I'll definitely go back! They are a little bit pricy but I think it worths it for the great job they do. The only issue is they don't have a card reader so remember to bring enough cash with you! read more

These people are awesome! I have plaque psoriasis on one foot (weird I know) and I'm used to getting a lot of weird looks. The gentlemen had no problem with my pedicure request. He was gentle as some of the nails are soft an a little tender. I got the parafin, too, because I'm always so dry. While that was being done an older lady started on my nails. Gel is a pain to get off but she had it down to a science! I wanted a french manicure for a formal occasion and it looked perfect!! They did my mani and pedi at the same time, so I saved a ton of time. The gentlemen even put some ointment on my foot and a few spots on my calf. I felt that was very special for me to have such care given some salons are "grossed out." The chairs alone are enough to lure me back. Also I liked having no TV. The music when I was in was classical piano and it was such a nice place to visit and relax instead of some salons where it is so loud and Jerry Springer is on TV. Neither of them spoke much except to make sure I was ok :-) So it was a great place to just get away from the world for an hour. Anyway, if you would like a peaceful and timely mani or pedi, I highly recommend. read more

I've been having a hard time finding a good nail salon here. This place opened up within the last year and I decided to give it a try. I've already had 5 manicures and 2 pedicures, brought multiple people in with me, and every time we have a flawless experience. Their prices may seem slightly on the high end to some (depending on where you are from), but this is one of the most affordable/highest value salons I've been to yet. A gel manicure (around $25 I think) lasts me 2+ weeks without a single chip. I only go get my nails redone because they get too long for my taste, otherwise they look flawless! I'm pretty rough on my hands and they stand up. Their staff is a family run feel and we always have the best time here, it's so relaxing, like a spa day. If you can spare the extra cash and time, definitely go for the high end pedicure with the wax treatment. Absolutely amazing. read more

Best pedicure I've ever had! I did the #3 with the scrub, mask, and paraffin wax. The man who did the pedicure did a great job. I also got a gel manicure and love that as well! I will definitely be going back the next time I'm in Monterey!! read more

love Love LOVE this place!! Im on a mommy-daughter vacation and we stumbled across this place to touch up our nails, im glad we did! Very quick and relaxing service. They paid attention to detail and both of our mani/pedis looked great! I would 100% recommend for out-of-towners or even a local looking for a new great spot!! Afterwards be sure to stop by platos closet (which is right next door) and pick up a new sweater or pair of shoes read more

My nail polishes peeled off my whole nail everyone of them. Within a week and btw super expensive service (paid for gel mani and pedi $125).

At first I was very pleased with my dip service. In four days they peeled off and my weak nails broke. I called immediately and scheduled an appointment but couldn't get there til Saturday. THEY CHARGED ME to repair my nails. So medium to low rating read more

I went to get my nails done here today. They did a fantastic job on the polish! I don't think i've ever had such a great manicure. And the price was reasonable as well $25 for gel. My only complaint is that the arm/hand massage that usually accompanies a manicure was just a quick rubbing of lotion on my arm. read more

I had such a bad experience here that I feel compelled to share it. Every step of the way I felt rushed by the staff. I felt so physically uncomfortable and tense the entire time. Rushed to pick a color from the start. One woman doing my toes and another doing my hands at the same time. That would've been fine if it was comfortable. But nope.. the woman doing my hands had me reaching across my body, holding my hands up with nothing to support their weight. She also turned off my massage chair.. sigh.. probably because she wasn't using an actual surface to do my hands. The worst part is that both women filed my old nail gel down to the natural nail with e-files. This caused a lot of heat and discomfort. That isn't the correct way to remove gel as it damages the nails. You're supposed to file a thin layer and soak the gel off with acetone. Nope, this place cuts corners instead. I just wanted it to be over with so I stuck it out. To top it off, the woman doing my nails was rushing so much that when I got up to leave she flipped over my arm rest where my latte was. I had just bought it, barely had a chance to touch it.. and it ended up on the floor. She apologized but of course made no offer to compensate or anything. I was just so ready to leave by that point. They also told 3 girls they could do their nails as walk-ins right away and instead left them sitting around for 20 minutes before they just walked out. Seems like the place is run pretty poorly. I wouldn't recommend them. read more

Really enjoyed coming back to getting a pedicure, and my girls got their nails done. Appointments only at this time. They have movable barriers for PPE for pedicures and manicures. I would also mention the staff is wearing facial masks, but even before COVID-19, nail salons were already wearing them. Instead of the usual pick your color from a shelf, we were given a color wheel of the painted nails that you usually choose from when doing manicures. You tell them the number, they get it and voila. It so nice to see this industry opening back up. read more
