Decent job on the dip manicure and regular pedicure. The ladies are friendly enough. Discounts for cash services tips are ONLY cash no Venmo here. I hate upselling though and expect everything to be one. Polish removal $ Callus removal $ Massage $$ If you just need a paint on clean nails, this is an inexpensive option. Otherwise, it cam out to the same I usually pay and I didn't even get a massage out of it. read more

don't go here. I got toe nail fungus on four toes. it just cleared up after one year spending a lot of money on later treatments. Salin is not clean read more

By far the worst nail polish experience! The manager asked me to get my manicure done prior to my pedicure. The manicure was rushed - the second coat of paint didn't cover the entire nail! She didn't clean my nails after pointing out some errors. I have to redo my nails again. This establishment is very unprofessional, they need to properly train "manicurists." Go to a reputable nail salon! read more

Came here because the location is convenient for my office however will not be going back. First, they charge to remove gel that has been done at THEIR SALON - this is ludicrous- most nail salons only charge if you had gel done at another salon and some don't even do that if you're getting gel put on. I came for French gel mani and pedi. The mani chipped in one week. read more

Save your money and go somewhere else! Spent $80 on a pedicure + gel manicure that's peeling after 2 days and my feet smudged after I left the salon after spending 35+ minutes drying them. Clearly they use cheap products as my pedicure normally lasts a month + and gels elsewhere last @ minimum 2 weeks. What a joke. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! I received an acrylic fill-in with gel polish. At $70 (originally $66 but keep reading) it was bit overpriced, but I was in dire need of a fill-in so I said okay. When it came time for me to tip, the nail tech (an older woman) berated me for trying to tip on my card and said that she was going to tax my tip. Instead of this, I said I would just tip in cash. Then she demanded to know how much I was tipping her before she even ran my credit card for the cost of the service and then increased the cost of the service by $4 since I wasn't paying cash. I'm not sure who taught them business etiquette, but you run the card first for the cost of the service and then the customer tips afterwards. Completely unprofessional and I'm mad I even tipped at all. Now let's get to the service... the nail tech nicked me THREE times (without apologizing) but more importantly, the gel polish chipped tremendously (see pics) in less than 24 hours!!! Clearly their products are cheap because I've had regular polish that lasts longer than this. Between the poor quality and terrible customer service, it's safe to say that I will not be returning. read more

Love my nails! Started doing "builder gels" while I was in the West Coast and I thought I wasn't going to find anyone here that can do a great job like they did over there...called Classic Nails since they're across the street from where I work and had Cindy do them and she was awesome, cut them as short as I wanted them and was a perfectionist too! They only get 4 stars because i was charged tax...my first experience when using my debit card at a nail salon. read more

Overall quality of work 4/10 Cleanliness 6/10 Questionable if they are cleaning instruments after used, they certainly appear to be using the nail file on repeated customers. Same with the buff block they repackaged it and put it in a drawer, not sure if I should be concerned by that! They certainly did not offer for me to keep the buff block. In my opinion, based on the one time I went, seems to be more amateur work. Due to this I would not go back. Prices are a bit high, Midtown Manhattan, you'd expect top notch work. read more

Have gone here a bunch of times and always had great experience so wanted to write review . Today Had gel manicure and chair massage by Kit and she was amazing!! read more

I did tips with acrylic on top and was pleasantly surprised with how they came out! I'll definitely be back for my filling.

This is the nail salon to go to! I was a walk-in one day and found it to be the best salon I've been to. It is sparkling clean and neat with beautiful decor and it's quiet. And the entire staff are friendly. Technicians aren't yelling to each other so the atmosphere is peaceful. It's definitely where you can get a pedicure and relax. The prices are outstanding and it's my go-to from now on. read more

Great nail shop. Came here after work around 6.45PM and had to wait 5-10 minutes to get in a chair. It was still pretty busy inside, but this seems to be a popular place due to the affordable price and Midtown location. Nicely done gel manicure from the tech. I've noticed a lot of people taking issue with the staff asking for tips - if you can't afford to tip at least 20% on a $30 nail job while the tech spends 40 minutes meticulously doing your nails then you might be the one with the issue. They seriously take their time to make sure everything is well-done, and we're in the middle of Manhattan, AND this place charges less than others. Tip your nail tech properly! And in cash if you can. I will definitely be back. read more

Classic Nails - Very happy with my manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Terrible!!! Had the worst experience today. Been going there for a while , in fact my whole company goes there. Not anymore !!!! As soon as I Walked in I was greeted aggressively with " you Have cash!!??" They the. Proceeded to talk back and forth yelling speaking there language. To top it off the manicurist must have been upset because she kept squeezing my hands and fingers as if she was going to crush them while continuing to yell. She then messed up two of my nails and decided to paint over them. What a disaster. Being the professional and polite person I am, I even gave her a tip. When I tipped her she through the money to the side with an attitude and didn't even say thank you. The WORSt!!! Never again. Believe me... I will make sure no one ever experiences this again. A nail place is suppose to be a calming relaxing experience and this was hell!!!!! They are not sanitary. read more

I came here in a hurry before a graduation I was attending. I came in for a mani pedi, which I got in half an hour. The service was very quick. I don't know if they sensed that I was in a hurry, or if they work at the pace of the city. At the moment it was exactly what I needed, but I think I would've been a little bit bummed if I was looking for a more relaxing experience. The employees were very nice, and they were very prompt in fixing three of my toe nails that got ruined after trying to put on my heels. Having said that, I do not recommend spending $1-$2 for the quick dry; there was nothing quick about it. Anyway, I loved the work they did on my nails. read more

Went to get my nails and toes done on a Friday because I had an anniversary dinner on Saturday, came here because it's across the street from my house. I told them i wanted SNS done and just a toe polish change. They gave me a whole pedicure and charged me extra for it. They made me sit in the pedicure chain while one did my feet and one did my nails at the same time. They charged me $85.50 , plus an extra $10 that ( $5 for each lady) in tips. So basically $100 for nails! What a rip off. I guess those are the prices you get for Midtown, Manhattan tho. Overall my hands and feet came out nice but they took an hour and a half and charged me way too much for my nails. Don't know if i'll be returning. read more

On any given day, this popular nail salon is busy with clients who work in the city and are on their lunch hour. (Me being one of them.) Overall, it's a clean and well respected spot and I'd definitely recommend it for random "walk-ins" as I've been here plenty of times in the past three years. However, today I got my nails done by Cindy and was impressed with her work. Not only did she not make me feel rushed, she didn't cut corners while painting my nails like most manicurists are known to do so a refill is needed sooner. She took her time and even offered a third coat since my nails had not reached the color intended. I was really happy with her services from beginning to end, and will now be doing appointments through her moving forward. Thanks Cindy and Classic Nails! read more

Awesome spot in midtown. Always great service and the quality of the work is high. I always get either dip powder or acrylic with gel color and it always looks fantastic and lasts a while. Judy is great - she listens and shapes the nails exactly as you envision/explain them. Fast service and good quality. I call them maybe 20 minutes ahead of time and they can always accommodate me. read more

Every visit is always pleasant here. The staff is super friendly and meticulous with their polish/gel application. I go for gel manis and pedis and they always last! I generally can go more than two weeks with the gel mani and 3-4 weeks with the pedi. And I'm not careful or gentle with my nails by any means. Large selection of colors and application types (i.e. regular polish, dip nails, gels, etc). Service is quick but never rushed. read more

Classic Nails - Love the service. I came in without appointment and was quickly seated. Francis was amazing and gave me great tips for nail care too. - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Used to come here because it is right across the street from my job but last Thursday/Friday will be the LAST time I patronize them!! (Midtown) After they completed the requested service they asked if I wanted the "Quick dry" nail polish. I asked them how long does it take to.dry and if it's for the toes too. They said about 5min and it's for the toes too. I said fine. So while it was drying I lost track of time because I was on the internet on my phone and realized I sat under the dryer an additonal FIFTEEN MINUTES... Went back to.work for another hour before I left. When I got home and took of my socks the nail polish on both big toes were completely smudged and halfway off. Odd because that only happens for non quick dry nail polish when youve sat there for only about 10 minutes. I sat for a total of like 20. So I went back the next day and the owner said okay fine get your polish and get those toes re-done. Great. Problem is I didnt take note of the name or brand of the nail polish initially. So they had like 50 and they all pretty much looked the same. After about 5 minutes of me and a worker trying to figure out which it.was.she suggested I take any random one and she will try to make it blend. Ummm hell no I wanted the color that I chose or I will choose somethong else. So I suggested they simply remove the nail polish and re-do it with a color of my choosing. Not the entire scrubbing soaking pedicure part- just the polish. The owner proceeds to tell me they are doing me a "favor" by not charging me to redo.the 2 toes and if I WANT a polish change it will be $3. It's not their fault it wasn't dry and I shouldve worn flip flops to ensure the job wouldnt smudge. Lastly its more of a guarantee for the hands not the feet!! Sooo many thing wrong with ALL of that. I don't go into businesses and ask for favors. If I like the service youre offering I pay the price listed. Consequently, your service should be true to the offer. They werent doing me a damn favor. They engaged in false advertising and should have made amends. They falsley stated the polish was quick dry. Never stated I should walk out of there in flip flops (in NYC February weather). And I specifically asked them about the toes and they offered NOT ONE DISCLAIMER. Lastly, it was 3p on a Friday when I returned and there wasnt anyone waiting for service. How much time and money product wise would it have cost them to put two coats of colored paint on my toes and one coat of clear paint after? Not fifty cents worth of product. And the dismissive, curt attitude I recieved from the owner after YEARS of patronizing them was baffling. Cheap nail polish and poor customer service. There are about 10 other nail salons within a quarter mile of this and 3 of them are 2 blocks away. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

I too stumbled across this place, lured in by the Thursday/Friday $22.99 mani-pedi deal. I might not have popped in had I read the reviews first but I'm glad I did. The woman that did my pedicure paid great attention to detail, putting in the extra effort to get them into good shape (they were in a bad upon arrival!). Yes, everyone was chatting and laughing (in addition to microwaving and eating their lunches) but I didn't feel like they were laughing at me. The massage during the pedicure was probably the snappiest I've ever received and mediocre, but I wasn't expecting it to be long or luxurious for that price. I did get hungry smelling all the yummy Chinese food though! * I waited a few days before posting this to see how everything turned out as the previous reviews were so bad. Both my manicure and pedicure still look great. Not a place to really pamper yourself and enjoy a spa-like atmosphere, but I am quite pleased with the end results. read more

Please save your money and go else where or do it yourself. I wanted to treat my aunt to a mani and pedi because she never had one before. I had to pay upfront first with TAX which is unheard of before they started anything. Never had nail services taxed in six other states but maybe it's a New York thing? I dk... anyways so paid up front. We were in the chairs for no longer than 5-7 minutes. They were sloppy with their work and we felt extremely rushed. They were talking shit about other customers in Chinese and I should've taken that as a sign. We also know Chinese and they were saying really racist things too. Like hella mean but to the customers face the manager was calling them "honey". While waiting for our nails to try, probably around 10 minutes we were told our fingers and toes are done. How do they know? They didn't check. They were rushing us out because they need the seats for other customers. I was never rushed out of a salon before - never. And every technician I had prior would apply ointment or oil after nails are done and check to see if the nails are dried. This place did not do either. I'll admit I didn't tip because they did a horrible job and customer service wasn't great. We left feeling anxious instead of happy/relaxed. I was upset because that's money I'll never get back. On my way out, the manager yelled "hey aren't you going to tip?" We got home and our finger and toe nails are screwed. From putting on shoes when they were still wet and the manager didn't offer to fix my nails for me. Another reason I didn't tip. I walked away feeling guilty of not tipping but the service was horrible. Here are some pics of our nails as soon as we got home - read more

My nails looked awful, all broken ‍ most would gawk, but Kelly made a masterpiece. I live way downtown but I'll come back here

If you're a Ny'er - you know what type of joint this is. If you're a tourist, you should know what type of place this is. Imagine you had a list of qualities that would make something an A+ normally, and you could only pick 3 of them : Clean Friendly Skilled (ie, know how to cut a cuticle without cutting you or the opposite, not cutting anything- you just playing, girl) Quick Affordable Thorough They were quick, friendly and affordable. You may read between the lines. I would recommend if someone were in a tight bind on the constraints I listed above. Other than that, go find somewhere else to treat yourself with lasting quality. read more

I have been a long time customer of Classic Nails. I communicate with the salon's Manger who goes by the name: Francis. Classic Nails is located in midtown Manhattan were rent is very expensive, yet their manicure and pedicure prices are affordable. I cannot provide a review on other services because I only get Mani/Pedi's. All the workers conduct themselves in a professional manner, polite, respectful and helpful. They are fast paced but efficient. If you have an issue, they are quick to resolve as the customer is their top priority. In the past I have been asked to leave a healthy tip, but I understand the request. At affordable prices and efficient work, I don't mind the request..... Bt this is providing that I receive top of the line customer service. As a long time customer, I recommend their service. read more
