I have been using First Class Nails and Spa for many years now. It's in your best interest to make an appointment- while walk ins are welcome, it's usually busy. I have been getting acrylics with gel for years which lasts me a solid 3 weeks. i am hard on my hands- especially in the summer. I don't have breaks or cracks since using First Class where I did at other nail salons. I am now trying a new gel based treatment instead of acrylic. It is amazing! My nails are more natural and look great. I also access them for pedicures. They have a variety of treatments to choose from. Plus a massage chair is an added dose of relaxation. First Class is a great place to go for your nails and toes. They have all the best colors and services. Jenny and Chris care about their customers and their experience. read more

First Class Nail & Spa - New gel nail fill with gel polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

This place is great. I've gone a few times and each time I've had my nails last me 3-4 weeks in perfect condition. The prices are really fair and they have an atm which is helpful since I never have cash on me. I haven't really gotten too many designs, but I did get a French that looked super awesome. read more

Friendly staff and incredible quality. This set (tips with builder gel) is still on and has been over 3 weeks. Other places chip or come off my nails in 2 weeks or less, so I'm impressed. read more

I can't even give a star at this point if the nail technician does not realize that this does not look good or look professional there's nothing else I can say and it looked like a child put them on for what I paid to be told. I had to wait till the next time in two weeks to get them fixed went to a different salon a few days later. read more

So I'm new to the area and I decided to try a nail salon and my search won't stop here as my experience did not go well. First the technician filled my skin during nail prep for my full set. And I had to say "Ouch" and pull back my hand for him to stop. I looked and see a small hole on my finger the size a big needle. He apologized and then finished up with avoiding that finger. The finish result did not look good. My nails were different lengths and the acrylic was super thick. I decided to do gel and even with that, the polish looked sloppy. He didn't even add cuticle oil at the end and left my cuticles and hands looking ashy :-( I wanted to cry. My pedicure was perfect and was done by another technician. The only thing was that I had to request to cool the water down because it was super hot read more

Made an appointment for a mani and pedi. After my pedicure, they told me they only had time for that and not a manicure despite the fact that I had an appointment for both. A simple miscommunication, but the owner was unfriendly and unapologetic, insisting it was my fault. He ended up finding a nail tech to start my nails. She cut into my cuticles, leading to blood and cuts on my nail bed. My nails were also filed at different lengths and not smoothly. Had to fix them when I got home. I ended up stopping the manicure before it ended (no polish) and was still charged $20 for the manicure. Very disappointed in this experience, from the unfriendliness of the staff to the inexperienced nail technician. read more

I had made an appointment for a polish change and they ended up giving me a manicure. For the "miscommunication" they took $5 off the service, even though I ended up with the colors I did not request. I showed them pictures of what I wanted at least three times to several people, with them even helping me pick out colors. When my appointment ran "long" someone else took over the last half of my polish change. While I appreciate the safety measures they are taking for COVID, if they can't get simple appointments right as well as using pictures to get my expectations right, I won't return. read more

I made an appointment for 2 manicures. They took us in 1 hour apart. I used to love this nail spa because their acrylics were cheaper and perfectly done. Every time I go in it absolutely is horrid. Later, They took walk ins before my acrylic appointment I had made days before. I sat there an hour before being serviced. Are you kidding? I was a regular at this place for almost 2 years, what happened?! I don't know why I keep returning, maybe to give it hope. I've gone with my best friend who also loved this place and we have both experienced shitty service and shitty nails. read more

The owner was exceedingly rude to my mother. bringing her to tears the way he talked to her. Usually I brush these things off, but this was unacceptable. This happened multiple times in person and over the phone. Finally decided to stop going and have no regrets. Although Jen, does a beautiful job. read more

I'm not from the area, but needed a pedicure badly because I am on vacation. Sloppy polish job, barely touched my calluses or cuticles, and I still gave the woman a 20% tip only because I was feeling generous. I have experience in the nail business/industry. The woman spent more time taking the old polish off my toes rather than doing a good polish job. I'm disappointed that I got a pedicure that came out terribly. I would have better luck polishing my own toes with nail polish from CVS. read more

fuzzies all in my nails, could not even paint a heart for valentine's day so now my nails are just a boring nude pink. really sad was excited for festive nails. read more

I always go to Jennifer and she really takes her time and does an amazing job. The quality of the work out does anything in the surrounding area! I always walk out very pleased and satisfied every visit! read more

This is the second time I've been here. The first time was two years ago. The girl I ended up with was really attentive and focused but REALLY slow. The only complaint I have is that they don't do it like they do In CA where if you get a mani and pedi. They do you at the same time. So Instead of one hour it was two. I left there super relaxed and with nice looking nails but it just took forever. read more

Been here a handful of times hoping it will be different but it's always the same, if there is a good tech I haven't got him/her. The last time I went they took 15minutes to tell me to come back the next day...I did not. Much better spots in town- if your in a jam and your not to picky on quality of work then maybe you'll be happy here. I wont be going back read more

Been going here for years and I have never been disappointed. They even send you discounts for your birthday.

Excellent job and attention to detail. I had nail tech Vin and he was very nice and professional. The place is clean all the techs introduce themselves and are personable. They have a lot of repeat clients who are happy with their service. They take turns doing manicures and pedicures and focus on your when you arrive instead of trying to get your through as quick as possible. Prices are similar to other places. I had a supreme spa pedicure only one step up from the basic and my feet where massaged and pampered for 55 minutes. I would defiantly recommend this place and will return again! read more

First Class Nail & Spa - The superb work of Vin. - Nail Salons Near Me - Biddeford, Maine

I have always had good experiences here. Walked in and got a great gel mani + pedi. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my nails but I can trust them here. It might not always be the all time best mani/pedi ever but I am never disappointed and it's worth what they charge. I don't think you can go anywhere else and get the same value for what they charge. read more

So I want to point out that I do not live here, never been here, and I found this place close to my hotel with Google Maps. I work as a professional makeup artist and model for a living so I need a good manicure at all times and I'm very particular. I called an hour before they closed to see if they could still take me today. Not only did they say yes, they recommended a healthier nail treatment I had never done before (I usually do dip) due to the poor shape of my real nails. They close at 7pm and they stayed open another hour to accommodate my needs. Jennifer was my nail artist and she applied tips and gave me a french manicure with iridescent shimmer. I am beyond happy with my overall experience and definitely recommend. I am not usually a review person but after my experience, it made me realize how I should acknowledge local businesses and artists I come across on my travels. Be compelled to write a review out of love more than hate since most people write reviews out of anger. Hope this helps other people this holiday season. Happy Holidays! read more

Best nail salon I've ever gone to. Jennifer really took her time, was friendly, and helped me get my nails back to healthy and beautiful. Very happy customer! read more

I am not from the area, but am here visiting family. Stopped in today without an appointment and was told to come back in a half an hour.. kinda stinks having to find something to do for 30 minutes, but next time I will make an appointment. The prices are very reasonable and actually both services I got here were cheaper than my regular salon (in Massachusetts). My pedicure was absolutely divine, and my nail technician, Kim did a great job. She was friendly and personable! I also got a gel manicure aka shellac and she did my nails perfectly (and fast), and also tried a new chrome hologram polish... I loved how it came out; she is very good at what she does! Also the place seemed to be quite clean, and I was happy to see they used OPI for their gel manicures. Would definitely go back here again just to see Kim again- she shaped and painted my nails perfectly. BUT if you want to make sure you won't have to wait I suggest making an appointment read more

New owner is very good at training her techs not to just rush and run the risk of a sloppy job. Many salons I have been to are more concerned with serving as many customers as possible and they do a poor quality job. First Class Nail even guarantees their work and will fix chips in the first 10 days without a hassle. The atmosphere is friendly and professional. I had an issue with a chip on day 4 and I went back and she ended up re-doing all of my nails for free. I found out that they do take (and honor) their appointments. They can get a bit busy so booking ahead is a good idea. I have tried many of the other local nail salons and have found this one the best. read more

My experience here today was nothing but the best. They took a long time on my nails making sure they were perfect. The man spent a long time buffing them for the acrylics and making sure they were perfect. I would highly recommend this place read more

Went to get a Mani/pedi for my wife and I. The service was rushed and sloppy for both of us, they even made us bleed. The manager asked us to COME BACK ON A DIFFERENT DAY so they could fix and refused to refund. read more

I'm a manly man. I've never been to a nail place. I went with my daughter and my best friend and decided to try a pedicure while I waited. The staff are great and they have a good rapport with the customers because everyone in the place was smiling and having a ball. I now have pretty feet that feel great. read more

This was terrible. My pedicure was chilled with in the first hour of being done. The person dug there nails into my skin and wasn't even wearing glove s. The coats were uneven and and other were many gaps. read more

I use to go to the same salon since I was a teenager and was hesitant to try somewhere new but after I started coming to First Class a few times I decided to stay with them. It can be frustrating when walking in without appt because a lot of times they will ask you to come back because they stay busy. It is always best to make an appointment to avoid that. People complain about the wait times but you need to keep in mind they are busy because they provide top quality service. They never rush through your nails. I go to Kim for my nails (they all are great) she is funny, personable, and will not finish your nails until they are absolutely flawless. If they don't all look the same or she doesn't think they look good she will fix them until they are perfect. Kim also waxes my eye brows she is very good at that too. read more

Went to have a manicure, ask about the senior discount and Jennifer didn't know about the discount so she tried to go to their website on her phone to look it up. the website was slow and wouldn,t come up, so she agreed to 10% discount, I sat down and the girl immediately started cutting off my nails I spent months growing when I pulled back my hand protested she pulled back and continued cutting, she didn,t understand any English, after hearing my protest Jennifer came over and intervened she offered to put on fake tips at my expense, after talking and crying she finished my nails at no charge. the girl should have got someone who spoke English what I wanted I will never go back read more

I have been to this nail salon a few times in the past and it has been okay. The past two times I have gone with an appointment made, I have had to wait an hour after my scheduled time, resulting in a two and half hour trip to get a fill. They did an okay job, great design detail, but I am not impressed with the amount of time I have had to wait with an appointment scheduled before hand. read more

I came in at 11:00am and they said that they that could only fit me and my friend after 1:00 so I came back at 1:30 and they said very rudely that I never said I was coming back and so they now can't fit me in at all. They were very rude and unprofessional read more

Jennifer and her team at First Class Nail and Spa have earned my business and my loyalty. They honor their appointments, guarantee their work for 10 days after the appointment and definitely have exemplary customer service skills. The salon is clean and the technicians professional, courteous and respectful of their clients' needs and preferences. I have tried many salons in the Greater Portland area and none can compare with this one! I recommend booking an appointment as they can get very busy. Testimony to the quality of their work! read more

Gel nail polish is nice, but didn;t go down to the cuticle enough, so they look grown out after a few days. The pedicure also didn't scrub my heels as well, so those look undone. Great on the actual toes (for polishing, cleaning, and cuticle cutting). However, they skipped the cuticle cut for my finger nails. Just average. read more

I came in town from New Jersey and decided to get a gel manicure at First Class. I had been here one time before and was satisfied, but my gel started chipping and peeling on day 3 and I had to remove them on day 10. Disappointed as my last three manicures in NJ have lasted 3 weeks :( I love that they have a ten day policy to return for chips, but being out of state that wasn't an option for me. read more
