Classy Nails Spa

Every month like clockwork I come here to get my nails done. Yes I said every month because that is how long my SNS nails last before I need to get them done again. The only one I let on my hands is Nikki. I haven’t tried anyone else so I can’t speak for how they do nails but Nikki is amazing!

So I saw how many stars and reviews this place got, I read the good and bad stuff everyone had to post. So naturally I had to try this place out for myself. I have to say my experience here was not as great as everyone else’s. I got a deluxe pedicure for $ 35 and a manicure with SNS for $ 45. So I’ll break my review down to both parts of my journey here.
With the pedicure, the lady physically turned around to talk to the other employees in her native language. Also, the foot rest was not padded or cushioned in any way and underneath was just a thin towel, so when she put my foot there and rubbed the lotion on my legs it put a lot of uncomfortable pressure on my heels, which was painful! Also, I noticed the towels were not clean (on the other side of it was nail polish!) the equipment they use to take the callous off was just in a reusable bag. I feel like this place is not as clean as people have mentioned. However, the polish job is great and my toes look awesome, so they got a star for that!
On to my manicure! I have terrible nails so I asked if they can put fake tips on and then do the SNS powder, which they did do. The lady was a little rough, but I mentioned a cut on my index finger so I appreciated how she was extra careful on that finger! She seemed very careful to detail in regards to the length and look of the nails. However, at the end I noticed some bubbles and a sharp point on my nails from uneven filing on the end of just one nail. Also, one of the nails are crooked as well. I didn’t want to tell them at that time to be courteous about the fact that they were closing soon, so I’ll update this when I go back and tell them! The manicurist earned 2 stars. Despite everything I’m still happy about the look of my nails or else hands down I would have given 0 stars if that’s even possible. Probably won’t be going back or recommending to others.

Tried this place out with 2 other friends who have never been here before. We all really liked it and the massage portion was really good. I’d recommend this place to others. They also have a rewards program.

By far the best gel manicure I’ve gotten in Plano! The salon is super clean and love the high ceilings. Highly recommend this place!

3.5 stars is my true rating. I’ve been in 3 times now for gel manicures, a brow wax, and a pedicure. The wax was good, the gel manicures have been stellar, it’s the pedicure experience that brings down the rating. The water was piping hot! Way too hot for comfort. There was no fizzy action included in the foot bath until all of the water had been run. Once started, the pedicure itself was nice and I tipped the tech for doing a great job in spite of the hot water and lack of fizz, it was the 2^nd technician who stepped in to rush through the shaping of the toenails and polish that left much to be desired. There was a HUGE lump of polish and debris from the polish brush clumped and dried on my big toe nail. As far as the gel manicures go, I’ve had 2 different techs work consistent magic on my hands and my nails always come out looking great, shaped and polished well — though on the 3^rd gel manicure, there was very lumpy thumb nail polish that I had to return to have repaired a day later (free of charge).

I have been coming to Classy Nails for at least 6 months or a little longer. Tonight I went in for a pink & white refill and a pedicure. This is the second time, Nikki’s mom has cut me with the nail drill. Nikki’s mom is the only person who does pink and white nails at the salon. She is the owner of the salon. As soon as I felt pain, I moved my thumb away from her. She said «sorry» and pour green solution on it. My thumb kept bleeding and she apply a blue towel to absorb the blood. Afterwards, when it came time to pay, my total: $ 65. Nikki is the one who rung me up. She was present and witness the entire incident. No compensation was offer for my troubles. I did not expect to come out of the nail salon injured once again. Makes me wonder if this is not a regular occurrence. Beware and enter at your own risk. You might walk out with a boo-​boo.
The staff is very friendly and sweet. Clean environment.

Love the hospitality and the atmosphere. Impressed of how they actually cared and took the time to do my nails. Will return and will recommend friends to come.

The ladies here took great care of me. I got a classic manicure and my eye brows waxed. They didn’t make me bleed once which is rare for me and my nail art looks amazing!!!

I came here to get my nails done with my friend and we were both wowed by the quality and friendliness.
I gave them a pretty tough design to work with (2 points on the ring finger and a gradation on the pointer finger). It took them a little less than 3 hours to finish the whole thing.
I got the sns gel nails + designs, which came out to a total of $ 56! That’s a pretty hefty price for me as a student but they looked so good at the end, I didn’t mind paying that much.

The time has come to adorn this business with another well-​deserved star. Since my last review, I have not taken my claws anywhere else. I haven’t even gone to back to my «regular salon» (which I feel a little bad for).
Nikki and her family have taken amazing care of my sister and I, and even take the time to remember our names. (well okay, we go every 2 – 3 weeks, but so what? They see a lot of people!) They have hired more nail techs to handle the increased customer volume and are now also wearing official matching business attire. They’re movin’ on up with class, and I’m so excited for them!
My obsession with gel nails has evolved into an obsession with SNS nails. The colors, the variety, the skill… I’m addicted to it all! My only complaint is that my nails grow out too fast, so I have to keep coming back to feel like less of a monster for having two-​toned nails by the end of two weeks. :X
I got a little holiday gift during checkout the other day: my own bottle of massage lotion :)
These ladies are my favorite. Come by soon and kick back with a glass of wine and some HGTV while they work on your phalanges!

I’ve been getting my nails done here for months. Such a great value for a mani/​pedi. This place is exceptionally clean, everyone is always friendly, and they don’t make you feel like they’re in a hurry to get you out of here. Their massage chairs always work. Lots of colors to choose from whether you’re having traditional color or gel done. I always walk out satisfied and with polish I know will last longer than most.

Haven’t done my nails in years. I wanted some cute nails because mine are just horrible. I picked out a design on the web and I showed them exactly what I wanted. The design was cute but a little different than what I expected. The nail tech suggested we use sns gel powder if we wanted to do fake tips. It literally took 3 hours… She was so attentive to the details so that was good.
On the downside, she was grinding my nail bed a little too much… Not sure how healthy that may be so I was nervous when she kept doing it. Also, she was a little on the rough side. The price is a little steep so just FYI
All in all, this was a great experience.

Customer service was great, nails look nice. But
Well, I had great expectations for this place! I Wasn’t sure how many stars to give, it was bt 3 and 4. The service was great the tech was nice and consistently asked if I was liking my nails, the only problem was that she consistently cut my cuticles too deep and made bleed 3x. I understand that this happens, but that’s never happened to me so many times… I don’t go to the spa super often. Bc it’s kind of special thing I do for myself to relax and feel good. I felt paranoid the entire time that she was going to cut me again. But. She was very apologetic and very nice. My nails look good. I got the shellac I’ve had them for about 4 days and they still look good. The only problem w the nails was that she got some shellac on my skin. That part Chipped off and she got some blood in the Polish. Ive posted pictures.

I love this place! Not the fanciest spot but the quality is top notch! ;-)
I’m a very picky client and they never disappoint me.

This salon absolutely met my expectations! It is clean, in a great area, and the staff is friendly!
Tina did a wonderful job with my gel manicure! She was attentive to detail and even helped me chose a great color (152)!
I am pretty picky with my nails, but I can say with confidence that I will definitely be back!

9÷22÷2015 Update:
I’ve gave this shop two other chances. They don’t really know what coffin/​ballerina nails are first off. After my original review I went back two weeks after and they did better but my nails were still full of bumps. Second time I went was this past Sunday, 9/​20, the girl who did my nails seemed to be in a hurry. Some nails were filed crooked instead of them being || they were more \\ to one side. Some nails also hang like claws haha also they have bumps and bubbles. In the end another lady finished and I used to work at a nail salon so I picked up a few words/​expressions basically showing what I knew. The girl didn’t do so good. They did not however tell me. So all in all don’t come here unless you don’t care about consistency. Also pretty bummed because I wanted it to be my go to salon.
I went in on Saturday Morning around 10 AM and they were quite busy. I don’t mind waiting at all so no complains here. I ended up getting SNS nails. The girl/​woman (Didn’t catch her name) was very nice and polite, she actually didn’t know it was my first time there until the end. My only issue that I have is that my nails look patchy (which I hadn’t noticed until this morning) and have scratches after only a few hours. It seems like the color didn’t fully adhere. But overall I think it was alight as far as services go but they were all friendly so I may go back. I should also mention that I came here because I just moved to the are and saw all the Unilocal reviews.

Update (8÷3÷15): The manager contacted me after discovering my not-​so-​great experience and offered a sincere apology. I think that was a notable and humble gesture. Just for that simple act, I will give it another try and hope for the best!
I went in for a mani/​pedi before my Cancun vacation and was excited due to the high ratings this place receives. However, the girl who did my nails was rude and laughed almost the entire time she was doing my nails. I know what you’re thinking — I’m Asian so I should be able to understand what they’re saying — eh, eh, wrong. So I sat there in confusion and curiosity (and mostly annoyed) wondering what in the world this girl could be laughing about every 5 minutes. It was like she had happy tourettes.
Anyway, my nails looked great until I got home and noticed that my index fingernail [visibly] had a piece of hair baked into the top coat. Also, the nails on my big toes were terribly smudged even though almost an hour passed for it to dry (while I was getting a gel manicure) before I left. When I called to report this, the girl who answered the phone (Rachel) was nice and understanding and told me to come back and get it redone. I went back and Nikkie fixed my nails this time, and only because she was so sweet and didn’t display any signs of laughing ticks, I still tipped her.
Still unsure as to whether or not I will be returning. If I do, please pray for me to have the strength not to slap Sir Laughs-​a-​Lot upside her head.

I’ve been here a couple of times in the past month. They were not very personable at first. No small talk, which is okay with me sometimes, but the quality of their services is excellent so I’m okay with the subpar attitude! I absolutely love their wide selection of colors, I’ll never get bored! Tried the SNS manicure today. I’ve had NexGen before & it’s very similar. But here, they have to have at least over 200 colors to choose from. One last plus for me is this is the first place I’ve been to that they have successfully and skillfully been able to add designs to nails, creative ones at that! I’ll be coming back for sure!

It was my first time here and it was a great experience! A friend of mine told me about this place and invited me to go with her to get our nails done. The place looks very clean and the staff was very friendly. Even though they seemed a little busy, they took care of us right away! Even though we didn’t have an appointment… (sorry!). They let me take my time picking the right color, and trust me… I am VERY indecisive. I ended up choosing #299 out of the gel colors.
Overall, the experience was very pleasant and I will definitely be back.

I’ve been here, twice. the first time was for pink/​white fill, with one of the ladies (which I found out is Nikki’s mom). I remembered coming in very late, and made them stay 5 after they closed, but everyone was really nice about it. Nikki’s mom was very patient and seemed like she wasn’t bothered at all. Nonetheless, my nails were perfect for my friend’s wedding, which was a week after. My nails did not lift at all. Actually, I kept them on for about a month without any issues.
This past week, I went in and opted for the gel manicure. My cuticles were horrible and shamed that it was bad. but nikki was wonderful! Chose something natural because if she did a «bad» job, it wouldn’t be that noticeable. nope! Nikki exceeded my expectations. First time I’ve ever had a gel manicure, and will definitely be back. Nikki is really sweet and funny. And again, I came in really late, but left with 15 minutes to spare. Def my new joint, even though it’s out of the way.
Will post a picture tmrw :)
If you see nikki for a gel manicure, you will not be disappointed.
