Nina does a great job with the builder gel sets. She made my nails look even, the hard gel is not as thick as the acrylic. It is pricey but worth it. read more

Bu does an awesome job every time! Honestly it doesn't matter if you get the mom or daughters, each one is a perfectionist and gives you their full dedication to your comfort and happiness. 3 weeks later my gel manicure is holding up with not a single chip on my left hand and a small one on my right- on a nail that I use every single day doing my job. Pedis are always so relaxing and take a while. The family is so sweet too. I don't ever feel like they're overwhelmed or frustrated. It's also not bad on price. For the quality care I receive I would expect this price and then tip well for sure. Just make sure you bring cash! read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting Monterey for my birthday and arrived before we could check in to our hotel. The ladies at classy nails were very friendly and saw us on short notice for two pedicures. The chairs are very nice massage chairs and the atmosphere is bright and clean. The ladies all wore gloves and the tubs were lined as well. I got the 2nd pedicure option which included a lavender scrub and green tea mask, which was very reasonably priced. There was also no pressure to choose a more expensive option which was a nice change from some salons I've been to. My nail technician spent a long time scrubbing, massaging, and in general had a wonderful attention to detail. My nails turned out beautifully. It was definitely a great experience on such short notice, if I'm ever in Monterey and in need of my nails done I know where I'll visit! read more

This family owned business (two sisters, and their mother and father) has re-opened as of January 26. My husband and I have been clients here for 4 years! The service has constantly been the highest level for manicures & pedicures. They have all the health department pre-cautions in place for your and their safety. Walk-ins are welcome and they make appointments, too. Please try them or return for a great mani or pedi! read more

So glad I found this place. They were so kind, I didn't feel like they were rushing at all. They did a great job shaping and painting my nails. Absolutely beautiful. Not a single error or sloppy area with the gel. Loooove! read more

Excellent service! The technicians are very skilled, they use high quality products, and the pricing is reasonable. Highly recommend!

They did the best job on a pedicure I've ever seen so far. I'm glad I drove further to get a good job done. I hate it when they don't pay attention to the lines of your nail, even with just the topcoat. The technician at this place was perfectly in the lines and even got the paint to be even throughout. read more

I am absolutely in love with my nails. NINA always does a great job. I live how sharp she makes them for me. She always has a smile in her face, the ambiance is pleasant! Thank you for having great customer service. read more

Another 5-star review here! I was in town with two days to kill and having already been to Monterey several times so I came here for a relaxing pedicure. I splurged for the Luxury Pedicure which includes a lavender scrub, clay mask, and paraffin wax treatment and it was money well spent. I had such a good experience that I had to write this review while waiting for my toes to finish drying. This isn't the cheapest salon but worth the price if you're looking to pamper yourself. Loved the new massage chairs and also the plastic wrappers they use in the foot spas to keep things sanitary between customers. read more

Damn. I have to edit this review. The last pedi had smudged after a few days and chipped after a week. Really disappointing as they usually do a great job. These guys do a great mani-pedi. I've never had any issues. Cash only which can be a pain if you are short a few dollars - I think they also accept cheques (checks). read more

It's the middle of the week 4/4/18 at 12:30 pm and I just walked in for a manicure and this lady looks me up and down then tells me no one can do my nails. There are no customers mind you. Straight ghost town. Why are you even open. I can't help but think this was a racial thing. So fuck'em! I definitely won't be back. It's too bad tho, last time I was here they did a great job on my toes. read more

Very nice and clean with a good selection of colors. They don't use acrylic, they use a hard gel. Feels similar to regular gel, so I hope it lasts as long as acrylic nails do. A fill is $30 which I think is pricey compared to the $18 I usually pay. The gel looks great and much more natural. Happy I stopped by. read more

Classy Nails - Best massage chair ever . - Nail Salons Near Me - Monterey, California

This has become my go-to nail place since moving to Monterey in July 2018. I get a gel manicure every other week. It is a smaller, family-owned establishment. Bu normally does my nails but sometimes Nina does, too. Everyone here is exceptionally detail-oriented and responsive. After my third or so visit, they remembered me by name and remember other little details about my preferences as well. They genuinely care about customer satisfaction. The salon is also very clean. I'm super happy with the service I've received and will continue to be a loyal repeat customer. read more

I love classy nails!! I've been in the area about a year now and have been trying to find a good place to get my nails done that will last! The few places I've been to have been fine, but haven't lasted more than a week, or a week and a half AT BEST! I am so pleased to say I finally found a nail salon that is clean, sanitary, and my shellack nails last over two weeks every time! I also really love that they do not use the strong chemicals that are found in most nail salons! Everyone that works there is nice, and very accommodating! Their prices are a bit steep for me. Usually I pay 25 maximum for shellack, at Classy nails it costs 30. However the fact that I don't have to come in the next week to get them redone, makes it worth it to me! read more

Awesome place! Came here for a quick mom daughter trip & really had a hard time finding a nail place with availability for a few pedicures. They took us right away, and we're so friendly and really took there time on us! We will definitely be back, thank you classy nails! CASH ONLY! read more

This place is run by a family, the Mom Eva is very sweet and her daughters Nina and Bu are wonderful. Nina remembered me by name the second time I came in. I have many nail salons near where I live, that I used to go to... Thankful for my friend Melissa who recommended this place to me because I will make the drive for the outstanding work they do with my nails, cuticles and overall mani/pedi. I am a painter, and in all the time I have gotten my nails painted (always get gel with a solid color) I have never seen such precision, smooth and seamless gel job... Until I came here. You must make the trip to come here. The place is very clean, they are very sweet and the work is better than I have gotten at any other location. In addition, I also got a Brazilian wax and Nina was quick. read more

Disappointment! I rarely do reviews, but this place deserves some of my time to save some one from not only ridiculously priced work but crappy at that! I called to set up an appointment for yesterday morning with Nina for a full set after reading many reviews saying how "AMAZING" she is, this is the worst job I've ever received I told her one of the nails she put on was lifted and she said "don't worry about it, I'll fix it" well I've attached pictures of how she "fixed it" and then told her my index finger nail was crooked she said it was my finger (this isn't my first time Nina, no one has ever had trouble with it). When I got my pedicure the man that was doing it cut my toe nails so short! I honestly have nothing good to say about this place, I can go on and on about my experience, but I've attached pictures which I hope speak for themselves. Girls don't do it there's many places doing a better job for reasonable prices, this place is cash only or checks and I walked out with $120 dollars of mad disappointment. (Never cheating on my nail esthetician again no matter how long he's out of town!) read more

I got a mani-pedi done with one of my friends and had an amazing experience!!! We came from out of town and found this place. They did paraffin wax on my hands and feet massaged my legs and did a really good job. They enviroment is very relaxing and they were all very professional. They are also super clean! Each foot tub is bagged and immediately cleaned when they are done. They also had warmed towels and neck pillow, hot stones as well if you wanted them. Each of the pedi-chairs will massage your back with a ton of different settings. I would highly, highly recommend!! read more

They are not adequately staffed to take walk-ins. Can't speak to quality of service. I went elsewhere.

These ladies are so quick and do an excellent job for a great price! Came in for a gel manicure/pedicure at 10:30 am on a Friday and was done in 45 minutes. I gave myself a two hour window because that's what it would've taken at my regular place. I will be coming here from now on! Thanks Classy Nails read more

My nails were awful after I took my acrylics off by myself... We were in town for the weekend and I found this shop on Yelp. Service was awesome, salon was clean, they had all the bells and whistles and they made my nails look so much better! A little pricey, but worth it. read more

I can't express enough how picky I am when it comes to my nails. By far the best place I have found. Nina is a goddess! They use a gel build up instead of acrylic powder and it is lighter, thinner and more (yes, more) durable!! It is a family run operation and they make you feel at home. Happy Holidays Classy Nails! read more

My go to nail salon. Call for an appointment if you can - even same day, but it will help as this place is steadily busy. Clean, bright and I always like how my nails look. They are not pushy with upselling anything either so I always just get what I came for and have a nice relaxing time. It is cash only so be prepared with $$ in hand! I am always happy with how my mani or pedi looks, they have a nice variety of colors and options. read more

This place was amazing! The women who work here are so sweet and attentive. They did such a great job on my nails, and they repetitively asked me if I liked the color on my nails or not, which showed they cared and that they were willing to change it if I didn't like it. The prices are a bit more expensive compared to where I use to go, but totally worth it! I got gel on my finger nails and regular polish on my toe nails, but they did such a great job that they look like gel on my toes. Definitely my new place! read more

$30 for pedicure and $15 for a manicure. The detail, care, and service were exactly what I wanted. They took their time and made sure I was comfortable during the entire visit. I picked this location not only for price but because the chairs! The massage chairs here are very different, the side panel allows the user to have a more individual massage and they were above average, read more

One of the very best nail salons in town, hands down. Nina is a hardworking woman and it shows... in my nails! They look fantastic! All the time. Thank you, Nina. She pays attention to detail and knows her stuff. I've been a loyal customer of here for about a year now and she does her best each time. Go Nina! read more

The team at Classy Nails were extremely talented in their area of work. My younger sister and I went to both get manicures - often when my sister has her nails done the manicurist will rush and take no care for detail, this maybe because she is only 9 but no excuse for poor quality. This was not the case at Classy nails, the friendly woman who did my sisters nails took extreme care and precision when completeing her manicure. She cleaned up any tiny mistake immediately and made sure her work was done perfectly. The same went for the work done on my nails, this along with very friendly service in a pleasent environment. Highly recommend to anyone in the Montery area looking to get a manicure, I also assume that their pedicure and waxing services also tick all my forementioned boxes. Excellent prices too. read more

I was feeling a bit bummed out after a Sunday Funday turned into a not so much fun evening. It's a few days before my bday and so I thought I might give this place a try. They were busy and I did not have an appointment and they were able to fit me in :) They are so nice and the pedi I had was EXACTLY what I needed! They really take their time and make sure that your toes are looking their best and trust me, my toes were very scraggly going in;) I had the lavender scrub and massage and it just made my day! Also, looking at non-scraggly feet for awhile will also be nice. Thank you!! read more

Great, friendly and clean place! They took me, my mom, and daughter in (for pedicures) on a walk in basis, which was great!! Good quality work! Will try again when we're in the area!! read more

I've been coming to classy nails for about 4 years now, and I've never had a bad experience. They're very professional, friendly, and they do an amazing, meticulous job every time. They've done a great job with the new COVID regulations, it feels very clean and safe. They also just recently started doing dip powder which is my new favorite technique, I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed! read more

Just got a pedicure with paraffin wax at Classy Nails and my feet look really great! Lovely mother and daughter team, too. Was able to walk-in during lunch hour which was a nice surprise, but my guess is that they will be very busy very soon. This is a very nice nail salon. read more

I was in town for a conference and this place was two blocks from the hotel. Nice folks, clean and great service. I had them do the gel manicure and a pedicure. NOTE: CASH ONLY This establishment does not take credit/debit cards. read more

This salon is ok. When it newly opened, I liked it enough and had good service. Since then, their prices have jumped, they have not honored appointments as much as friends that just walk in, and they charge a lot extra for gel. They also let their young daughter work in the salon at the age of 10. I think there might be a better place. read more

The last few times I've called & made an appointment they've made me wait at least a half hour to get started because they accept walk ins even though they're booked up & don't have enough people working. I've never had to wait as a walk in. So if you go there beware that if you book an appointment they will not honor your scheduled time. read more

Got my brows waxed here and the service was excellent. Staff was very welcoming and I thought they did a great job shaping my brows. I would definitely recommend this place for eyebrow waxing. read more
