Went here early Saturday afternoon for UV gel removal and a gel polish mani. It took over an hour to just remove my nails, as my tech kept getting up to take payments and do other people's nails. There were times she would return to me, pick up my hand, and then immediately drop it to attend to whoever just walked in. I decided to walk out after 1 hour and 15 mins of soaking my fingers in pure acetone and wondering where my tech went. Would not recommend this place if you're looking for full, undivided attention. read more

Let me begin by saying I've had a terrible experience at every other nail salon in Gainesville. I was searching for months until I gave this place a try, and I was not disappointed at all! I first got a manicure and pedicure with my girlfriend and really enjoyed the experience from start to finish. I got the gel on my hands and it lasted so nicely for weeks, I finally got them redone because of the growth but there wasn't a flaw by the time I returned! I have now been twice, I had Mimi the first time and an older man that I didn't catch the name of the second, and both did an amazing job. I'd recommend this place to anyone who actually cares about the health and quality of their nails!!! read more

I really enjoy coming in here to get a gel manicure, they take their time and make sure it is exactly how i want it. Prices are cheap less than 25 and lasts over 2 weeks. Really great customer service that keeps bringing me back here! read more

Amazing! Best in Gainesville! I've been going to Tung for 2 years now. He's the best! He does my nails exactly how I want them and they last for about 3 weeks (I get gel acrylic ballerina). I always get complimented on how good they look and it's thanks to him! I also get my pedi and eyebrows done there and the ladies are great as well! read more

I didn't have an appointment but was seen pretty quickly. I really appreciated that my nail tech (I think her name was Michelle?) took her time with my pedi and mani. She was very accommodating and paid attention to detail. I wish I had known about this salon earlier, would definitely recommend people to come here. read more

I loved this salon! They have temperature color changing gel nail polish! Coolest thing ever, I'd always get my nails done back in my home town with the same kind of polishes and since then haven't been able to find them, till now the guy doing my nails was very precise, he measured each finger to make sure they were all the same lengths. He even would start over if he wasn't satisfied with the nail (not a bad thing, at least he is making sure you leave satisfied). I definitely will come back for a fill in. I liked the service and I love my nails. read more

The best pedicures!! I come here every couple of weeks for a refresh and I always go home so happy. The workers are so sweet, I love them!

Been going here for years and they have never disappointed!! Everyone is good but Tina is absolutely amazing at what she does. Their prices are extremely reasonable! Give this place a try ! read more

I have always enjoyed the quality of manicure I have received and never have to wait long for them to start.

I had been to this place a few times and had a good experience. on this day i took m 8 year old to get her first manicure and to get my fill. they tried to charge me as much as a full set of new acrylic also tried to charge me more the for length of my natural nail and style which didn't happen before. but as i asked about the price tong yelled at me in front of my kid. i hadn't even gotten to the styling part i left with white nails and a sad 8 year old. i walked out read more

Not bad my nails lasted a long time almost a month. The men who did my nails suggested i get a newer style like coffin instead square i did style was uneven no were near coffin more like an awkward square. But overall i go again but get a different person. read more

I recently moved to Gainesville and and very bratty about my nails. I used to drive to Jacksonville after having horrible experiences at 3 different nail salons here. I am OCD about shaping and all the sides being painted! Tung shaped the perfect coffin shape and ensured the length and the shape were to my liking before finishing. They are very friendly and have conversation with you as well. They did such a great job I decided to add a pedi to my service! I will be back in 2 weeks for a fill with Tung! read more

Stopped by Classy Nails on a Thursday morning and walked in for a gel manicure. I had a previous gel manicure removed by Tony and had the majority of my gel manicure done by Cathy and finished off by Tung. I love love LOVE the result!! To remove my previous gel and get a new manicure with gel, I paid $30 which I think is very reasonable. Cathy was super helpful when I asked her about if I should get dip powder or gel, and she was very honest and told me that since I already have nice long nails, the gel would work out just fine for me so I wouldn't have to spend extra money on dip! To remove my previous gel manicure and get dip powder, it would have been $50. I really appreciate how she went out of her way to explain things to me instead of trying to sell me the more expensive option! The staff are all really nice and easy to talk to, and I think that this is going to be my new regular nail place. Cathy told me that on weekends they are super busy so I would need an appointment, but good walk in times would be in the mornings/early afternoon on weekdays. I'll definitely be back for a pedicure and another manicure in a few weeks! read more

This was my Fourth visit. I wasn't in love with my experience the way I was the first three times. I took a while to be seen, which I don't really hold against them, they have the workers that they have on duty. Eventually, I was called over to have my previous gel nails removed (the lady put on the gel remover acetone) but I waited there another 45minutes before she was ready to see me. I hate to complain but my cuticles were burning & I know that this solution didn't have to be on my hands that long. Despite all this I would have still been content if the end result was flawless... but it was just mediocre. Might just be my perception(check out the pictures) but I felt like the gel polish could have been polished more near my cuticles, it looked like this was a week grown out even though the picture was taken immediately after getting them done. My technician seemed really rushed throughout the process. For whatever reason at the end she said the total was $40, which I didn't understand because the other times I've come I have paid $30 ($25 for gel polish; $5 for gel removal). Anyways, my Total experience took over two hours, I arrived 15 minutes after open, at 10am, and didn't get in my car until 12:33pm. I'm not wildly unhappy but my tip would be if you find a technician who does a great job, get their name, and request them specifically. If I have one of the other ladies here do my nails again, I'm going to be sure to do just that so that I can get the repeat service of care and courteousness that I have received previously. read more

I have been to a lot of nail places and this is by far my favorite place. I've had nothing but a great experience with them. My nail always look on POINT and I leave getting exactly what I wanted! I've also brought a ton of friends with me and they love it to! The outside clientele is a little sketchy but don't let them scare you cause the inside and people are wonderful. read more

Tung is AMAZING. Has never in almost 3 years been a disappointment. His mother is the best and almost only person I like to do my pedicures. They are always efficient and the salon is always clean. I refer almost everybody I know here. The whole staff is friendly and works good together. They actually listen to what you want and even help you figure it out when you dont. read more

The service was terrible. Did fills which Started lifting the very next day. Went back they gave me a hard time. Someone else did it, The second time around, and they started lifting in four days. And this other person that did it got great reviews on yelp. Not sure how or why he got such great reviews read more

Today was my friends first day trying a nail place in Gainesville and she decided to go to Classy Nails. Let me just say 20 minutes later her nail came clean off. Then an hour later two more nails. Then while she was there the lady tried to make her pay an extra $5 because wanted two nails one other color (claiming that's a design) and the lady had an attitude. When we returned after the other two nails popped off she wanted her money back and the man said they would charge her $10 to take off the rest of the nails. He then kept going back and forward with us being disrespectful and stupid. They have no skills or manners. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY read more

Classy Nails - Mood changing Crimson (red to a burgundy) - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I have been going to Classy Nails on and off for 2-3 years. The times I wasn't going it was because of life transitions and lack of time. I have tried to try other nail locations in Gainesville, but none compare. At other nail shops in Gainesville my nails break off, start to lift or I end up having other problems that I never have with classy nails. At classy nails my nails grow out perfectly between my two weeks. The only thing with anything is try to reframe from going on Fridays or Saturdays unless you go super early or have an appointment because they can be crazy busy. I started going earlier in the week and have a better wait time. Tung(Tom) usually does my nails, and I have gotten my nails done by other techs there but idk their names. Lastly, I have gotten gel nails on acrylics and my natural nails, pedicures and eyebrows done from this location. Highly suggest it and check out their IG classynails read more

I wanted to get a gel french manicure for graduation, and I decided to give Classy Nails a try because I read its good reviews. I was very pleased with what I got! The younger man (the one who usually answers the phone) did my nails, and it's been almost 3 weeks since I got my nails done, and my nails are still in great condition. There has been no chipping or anything. They got my nails done in a reasonable time, and I would definitely come back to get my nails done again. It was $30 for the gel french manicure, but it is worth it considering how long the polish has stayed on and the quality of my experience. read more

This place is super close to my house, but it's located in a small plaza that doesn't look too hot on the outside, so I never thought to go in. After scouring the Internet looking for a great nail place that wouldn't charge a fortune, I stumbled across their portfolio on Facebook and knew I had to check this place out, and I'm so happy I did! I came to them with awful looking nails that hadn't been done in 3 months, but they treated me very politely and were happy to help me in making my nails fabulous again! Tung did my nails and they came out better than I could have imagined. It's important to note that this isn't a place that wants to take your money and send you off. Tung is a great nail tech, and actually cares about the health of your nails! The salon I had been going to previously destroyed my nails without me realizing, because it was my first experience with acrylic and I didn't know what to expect. Tung recommended treatments to heal them, and said that he wouldn't do anything rough to them until they were healed. I appreciate that kind of treatment! During my visit, there was also a young woman next to me who had her nails done by another one of their artists, and they looked amazing! Tung is hilarious and accommodating, and didn't seem to mind that I had brought my roommate with me just to watch. Overall, I had a very nice experience and will be back! read more

Best manicure I've ever had. I came here because 1) it's about 30 seconds from where I work, and 2) because of the other yelp reviews. The manicure was abseloutely meticulous... she really took her time. The selection of polish colors is extensive; I like a sheer, jelly-like pink (see pic) rather than a milky pink, and they understood exactly what I meant AND had the perfect color. I also like a straight line rather than a curved-- no problem. Finally, a place with friendly staff that listens, quality work AND great prices. Can I get an "AMEN!" read more

Classy Nails - Gelish pink & whites! - Nail Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Please read before you get acrylics!!!!! I get acrylics done every couple weeks. I've gone to a LOT of salons. This one was terrible. I Tried this one out because the yelp review pictures of acrylics looked great!! It wasn't clean. There was nail dust everywhere and I feel like the tools were not clean at all. The receptionist lady did my nails. Can't remember her name, but young, thin girl. I got Acrylics. It was the worst Acrylic experience I've ever had. And I get Acrylics a LOT. She was very rough with my nails and cuticles and skin around my nails. My finger tips still really hurt and it's been 24 hours. She didn't clean up my cuticles or hangnails around my nails. I think she gave me an infection on my pinky. The shapes were bad, too, and she wouldn't listen to me with what I wanted. I literally had her stop after "shaping" them because I knew I was going to have to RE shape them when I got home with my thick file. Payed my $25 and left to reshape AND paint at home. Very frustrating. Was trying to save $ but would have preferred to pay $50 for a good manicure and not sore nails and infection today. read more

Everyone here was very kind and attentive, but the gel manicure that I got here started chipping after only 2 days and started peeling after 5 and I wasn't even doing any intense work with my hands. Extremely disappointed. read more

They do good work here, but are seriously slow and the people are rude. The clientele ran me off more than anything. Lady with it off control children drinking alcohol from the liquor store in the plaza (her friend purchased and brought it in to her) from her wing stop cup...just to much for me. read more

Last week I went to get the dipping powder and They took forever! I waited 2 hours so I just left! And today I was there for an hour an a half waiting for the same thing! I got there at 11:50 and came out at 1:15 without my nails done again !!! There's only 3 people working and 2 of them are mostly for pedicures and the guy in front! Worst place ever!!!! The thing is that is not even busy and they still make people wait for hours!! Also people come in after you and they get to sit down while you still in front waiting! read more

They did an excellent job on my nails, the guy there was so open to what I wanted- if you bring a photo and state your price range, the people here can easily accommodate. Very professional and clearly good at what they do, but has a very friendly atmosphere. I went here for the first time for my prom nails, and they did such a good job at such a reasonable price that I will definitely be coming back in the future. They gave good suggestions and improvements to what I wanted done, and showed me other pictures to give me a better idea. Overall, although the price is average, the quality and attention to detail here is unparalleled. I was seated next to two customers who clearly had been going there for years as they were treated as friends by the staff, which in my opinion shows that this is the kind of place that makes people come back. Truly nothing bad to say- the smallest mistake was pointed out to me and immediately fixed. read more

If you're really picky with your nail don't bother I literally had to be on top of the lady who was doing my nail. So when I first got there they greeted me horribly I had a stair down with an older worker before she asked what I wanted, the older lady started doing my pedicure and she was doing everything so effortlessly (not in a good way) I had to tell her a couple times to fix my nails or to apply more pressure in the middle of my pedicure the older lady switched me off to a younger lady (she was better but still ehhh). While I was getting my pedicure some lady got her eyebrows messed up so heads up I wouldn't recommend getting your brows done there! So we moved on to manicure and once I again I had to be on top of the lady to file them correctly (multiple nails were uneven). After being on top of them they came out nice, but if I'm expected to pay $50 I expect to relax and not have to worry about anything! read more

Horrible job did not buff or file nails. Fingernails, pedicure did not scrub bottom of feet. I would not recommend them to a blind eye.

This was my first Pedicure and had no idea what to expect. They put me at ease and did a very good job. I was a walk in and waited 5 min or so. I do not know the name of the girl i had. She was a young Vietnamese girl and spoke excellent english. I highly recommend her even though i do not have a name. The business was busy which is a very good sign. As i was leaving 3 people came. read more

Absolutely loved it. They took their time in every detail of my nails. I sometimes have ingrown toe nails which is a problem whenever I go to a nail salon, they made sure they took care of it as well as made sure that I was comfortable. It's for sure my new nail place since it's really hard to find one in Gainesville. read more

If you want a good quality of nail-care services just find another place. They work with very low quality of materials (my acrylic nails broke after 4 days) and their customer service is very bad as well. I will never go back!!!!! read more

This place is legit. The wait is a little long, but that's because they're so good, and theres only a few of them. I'm new here, so I had to do a search for reviews before I decided to check them out... glad I did. Great customer service. I love acrylics, so great shaping. Tony was awesome, patient, and the price was even better! I recommend. read more

Very friendly service. The staff is wonderful and great at what they do! Quick and neat with very nice designs.

Best nails salon. They are really professional and friendly. Always give me good services.

I was searching and searching for a good nail salon in Gville. I think I stalked Yelp for awhile, but I unfortunately always look over this place. For some reason one time I clicked on it and even though it only had 5 reviews, but it was a strong 5 reviews so I decided to give it a try. I called at 10:15am on a Monday to see if they could see me aftet I got off work and I got an appt no problem. When I got there, I waited about 5 mins before someone took me which was fine because they were pretty busy. I needed a gel manicure for a conference I was about to go to. I picked out my classic red color and sat down. Kathy was amazing! She took time to reshape my nails into the round shape I like plus took time to repair one of my thumb nails that had started to crack. Once she was done I was beyond happy! I'm super picky when it comes to my nails - I have a certain red shade I love and I don't like paying a forture, plus I don't like my nails chipping so quickly after I get them done (which is why finding a nail salon is so difficult). But in under an hour my nails came out wonderful! I'm super pleased and will definitely be going back. If you go, ask for Kathy - you won't regret it! read more

Everything about my trip was horrible. Online and in the store the pamphlets say a fill is $15, I also had 2 repairs. The pamphlet also said a repair was $1-3. That means my nails should be $21 max. I also was planning on getting gel which is $10 extra, a very normal price. So my nails should be $31. I asked how much it would be and she said $41. I was very confused and asked very nicely how much each thing i was getting done was. She said it was $5 for having long nails and $5 for "special shape" which is any shape other than square. They don't list this anywhere online or in their pamphlet. Because of this extra got, I told her that she didn't have to shape them and she could cut them down. She got very upset and snippy with me saying that it would still cost the same because i came in with nails already shaped like that and that even if she cut them down it would still be the same because I came in with them long. She 100% made this up just to charge on extra and take advantage of me. She was so mean to me even though i stayed very polite and nice and she made me feel horrible. There was nothing i could do because she had already done it. I will never go back. read more

WORST NAIL SALON !!!! Do not waste your time or money! If I could give them negative stars I would ! The first and only time I went to get my nails done the guy I was put with was incredibly rude. He laughed in my face as I showed him three different designs, and he one by one said he could not do them. I should have known then to just leave but I went with a basic two color option . He rushed the whole procedure and cut my nails up like I have never seen. When he was done the job looked so bad I didn't want to leave like that . I ended up walking out to walk right back end and tell them to take them off. I had gotten in my car for five minutes and the sides of a few of the nails had started to peel off...unbelievable. The "manager" put me back with him again and he destroyed my nails getting polish off . My nails looked so bad leaving I was pissed beyond all reason! terrible customer service and the worst nail job I've EVER gotten! read more

I've been looking at a reasonably priced nail salon for a while and when I found this place I was so happy! I came in without an appointment and they had recently had a couple employees leave so they were busy but asked if I could come back in an hour which was reasonable to me, they're near the mall so in the meantime I went to get my eyebrows threaded. When I came back I told the guy doing my nails, Tung (im pretty sure thats how its spelled), how I wanted my nails done and showed him a picture, he really made sure I got what i wanted and was happy with everything! I wanted an almond shape, which most place that i've gone to always mess up the shape or get them uneven, but he made sure the whole way when he shaped my nails, they were nice and even and that i liked them. The whole time i was getting my nails done, girls and even guys were coming in the whole time to get their nails done specifically asking for Tung, this made me feel even better about having him do my nails. He takes pride in his work and posts pictures of his work on instagram and facebook. This is the place that I've been looking for, a place where the service is great, the employees are super nice (and funny) and reasonably priced. read more
