I don't usually leave reviews, but I had to share my experience. I've been to plenty of nail salons over the years, so I know what to expect. First, the service was terrible, especially from my nail tech, Helen. I made an appointment but still had to wait 20 minutes past my time. When she finally started, it felt like she couldn't have been more disinterested. She was curt, distracted, and seemed annoyed the whole time. It was like I was bothering her rather than a valued customer. My nails were uneven, the polish was messy, and I had to ask for corrections twice, which she did with an impatient sigh. The cuticle trimming was worse--I've done better myself. For what I paid, I expected better. A simple set of acrylics should last at least a couple of weeks, but I broke a nail within 48 hours. Overall, I left frustrated and disappointed. Support small businesses, but this one needs to improve a lot before I recommend it or return. If you want quality and a bit of pampering, go somewhere else. read more

Awful nails. The tech was gossiping on and on...so obnoxious. My nails look awful. I am very much disappointed with the quality and effort. Would NOT recommend read more

Absolutely horrible. Cut my nails so short to the bone when I had just grown them out, and I was so excited to have my long nails, I said I just want even them out. Cut them in so many different weird shapes. I had to leave mid service and Have them erase the color as it made the horrible shapes stand out more. As I expressed my dissatisfaction, they kept speaking in their own language and not addressing my concerns and still charge me full price. Avoid this place at all costs !!!!! read more

I have never ever ever left a review but when i tell you it get to a point it really does. Do not say i did not warn you. First off, I can to get my nails done. Let me get this straight this costed me $75... they rushed my nails and got up a bunch of times to like talk to other people entering the store. The guy doing my nails asked me if i wanted gel x and i said no i want acrylics. Tell me why he said OUT LOUD "you don't know what you're getting". The moment he put the nail on my finger I knew it was going to be bad. He had to do multiple applications and i ended up with bubbles in my nails. The only good thing was my toes which not too much on those either. Dont waste your time going here and go on insta and search for locals.. The fact that i have to still wear this horrendous thing on my finger is killing me. Just don't go here. $110 dollars that could've been spent on someone who can actually do nails. read more

I'm new to the area, and this was my first time visiting this nail salon--and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Lisa was amazing. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. Thoughtful, funny, and incredibly sweet, she made the whole appointment feel like catching up with a friend. Her communication was excellent, and she even tried something I had mentioned, letting me know she'd change it if I didn't love it. That kind of care and flexibility is rare. Truly outstanding customer service--I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I have been going here for approximately one year. I have never made an appointment. As I walk-in, I have never waited more than, seriously, one minute. The people are very nice. The work I have had done (pedicure, manicure, gel manicure and fill) has been excellent. The salon is clean and their procedures are very sanitary. read more

After not being able to be consistent with getting pedicures because of the pandemic, I thought I would call Andy and get one. I made an appointment for a pedicure and it came out beautiful! They do allow walk-ins but it might be better for you to call ahead for an appointment. They have a large color selection to choose from and at this time are only taking cash for payment. Dena did my eyebrows and they came out beautiful as well! Overall, great service, great location and great price! read more

Me and my mom came into this nail salon today. Tina that did my mother nails was so rude. My mom toes looks very much rushed and tacky. When trying to explain what the issue was this lady was very rude cutting me and my mother off. Long story short. Please know where you're going to get your nails done. This was my first and last time read more

This is the actual worst nail place I've ever been to. It may have just been the individual who did my nails, but I'm definitely never going back. My nail technician RUSHED. He took off my gel overlay in a very painful way, didn't file my nails, and rushed on the paint (I did dip powder on my natural nails) job. I left with terribly uneven nails. My technician also continued to pause and leave every once in a while when doing my nails. There was no care taken, and the job was very bad. I really hate giving bad reviews, but I wouldn't want anyone to go to a place that gives bad service. read more

I've been going to this location for more than a decade. The nail technicians are close knit, and very nice! I've never had a problem here. They will not put up with your BS lol. Be respectful. if not that's probably the majority of the Debbie downers on here. Love Tammy and Tina. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could I came in to get my acrylics taken off and they claimed to be too busy to do it. They barely had anyone there and even has a lady open who refused to do it. They claimed to not know how to take off acrylics This place is just awful and staff is rude. read more

Tina took fantastic care of my toes! After she finished I went to the 99 cent store a few places down and accidentally messed up the paint on 2 of the nails. I went back and she fixed them up for me without even a question. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Came here unexpectedly because the other place I go to was closed. Walked in, and was alarmed by the very strong, toxic fumes that clouded the shop. Took awhile for the nail techs staring at me to ask me what I wanted. However, I was pleased with the relatively short wait. Sat in the chair and the two ladies working on me immediately started trying to up sale me on services. I wanted a paraffin treatment for my pedicure, but they don't offer paraffin, so I asked what the cooling gel treatment was. The lady said they don't have that either, even though it's on the menu. She then TOLD me I was going to get a sea salt scrub and callus remover for and extra $10. I said I just wanted the scrub and she continued to try to up sale me on the callus remover too. Moving forward, I noticed the lady was scrubbing my feet with a very used loofah. There was no product on it so I assumed this was the basic treatment that always comes with a pedicure. As she was finishing, I said, "Did you use the sea salt scrub?" She said no, "We don't have any", then quickly changed her statement to, "No, you asked for callus remover." No I didn't, I specifically asked for the sea salt scrub, that was the first $5 ripoff. Lady had no comment about the error, said thank you and was done. The other lady who did my manicure tried to up sale me on a nail buffer that's supposed to make the polish "last longer". No need for that, as regular polish chips in 3-4 days anyway. She insisted that my polish was not going to last...I already know that, but what I didn't expect was to have my polish chipped in less than 12 hours! My manicure looked 3 days old overnight night(see pic). That's when I noticed that the polish was very oily. They probably add a drop of oil to the polish so that it will chip quicker and have customers coming back overnight for a polish change, and next time, you'll assume you need to add that nail buffer service...shady practice. When it came time to pay & tip, the manicure lady was not please with the tip because she wanted an even amount to split with the other lady. I evened the tip, to which she replied, "You're a smart lady, make tip even." Lastly, when I got home, I noticed the polish on my big toe was clumpy. I took a closer look and saw that the pedicure lady left cuticle particles between my toe and polished over it! Smh. This is the first time ever that I would warn anyone, DO NOT, pay for services and provide a tip until everything is complete and to your satisfaction. Oh, and consider wearing a medical mask over your nose and mouth to protect yourself from the fumes. read more

Today 09/02/17 I walked in to receive a full set and pedicure. Wendy who did my toes was great, then I went to get my full set by sue-something. Started off fine. As things proceeded I realized my nails were crooked and she said "it was because my fingers are crooked, and can not help you were born that way." I said "really you're rude." I never had a problem before. She said "it's too early in the morning for this." It was 15 mins to 11am. I use to frequently this location years ago, I decided to go back after all they are down the street and use to do great work. If I decided to go back Only for Wendy, she was the only one who asked was I okay and offer to give service. read more

Ken-Henry (there's two Henry's) is the best! I really have never gotten such a perfect full set. The shop is very welcoming and I believe it can get busy so it's best to call and make an appointment. There are TWO first class nails one in the front near the 99 cent store. The other one is the same owner and the entrance is in the back Ken Henry works in the front location* Parking for nail shop guest is not limited even though the signs say only 15/30 min Really happy to have found this place will be coming back soon read more

I have been going to First Class Nails & Spa for over 20yrs. I LOVE this place and it is the only place I get a manicure and pedicure. They are professional, efficient and have good prices. Tina is the best and she does an excellent job! She takes her time to really give you amazing service. My nails and toes always look great after I leave her and she works around your schedule. I take friends and family here as a treat and they love it too! You can't go wrong with First Class Nails!!! read more

Honestly I could do a better job than them. The pictures looked really good so this is why I went. I came with my mom. Both nails that helped us cut our cuticles. The paint job was messy. It was on my skin and some parts it was missing on the actual nail. I don't think I'll visit this place again read more

Lately, people have seen me with my toenails painted in red with white poka dots or black with white poka dots. I've had so many compliments that I thought I should write a review about the place (First Class) and lovely lady (Julie) who make my feet (despite the fact that they are JACKED up from ballroom dance lessons and high heals) look brand spanking new and almost edible. My only fear is when a place becomes too well known, I might not get served so easily. But, I have to share the wealth... This place is just minutes from where I live. You have to enter from the back parking lot behind the Von's area of the strip mall, but there is plenty of FREE parking!!! While it's best to call ahead if you want an appointment with someone specific, it's fine just to walk in and they attend to you almost immediately. For a $2 charge, you can pay using a credit card, the have reasonable prices, sleek new spa chairs, tons of designs for those of you who see nail art as an extension of beauty accessories, callous remover that is the BOMB, and even waxing available. I go at least once a month or every few weeks. I highly recommend them. (I will also post a photo of my poka-dot toenails while watching a dodger game on TV last weekend) read more

First Class Nails & Spa - my poka-dot toes - Nail Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love this place! My friend describes it as a nail shop with "Happy Nails quality but at hood nail salon prices". LOL I'll let anyone here do my nails. I get a gel manicure($20) and a basic pedicure. What's funny, but unfortunate, is that they will sit you in the spa chair and not tell you that its $5 extra. So BEWARE. I love that they have so many different colors for the gel manicures, unlike most salons I've been to. They are quick, good at painting and are pleasant people. They also have a lot of quality nail polish. I used to come in between 4 - 4:30 on any given weekday and would get seated right away! I'm planning to go tomorrow morning. Im excited! read more

So, I've been trying to avoid writing a seemingly negative review because I've been going here for a year, but I need to be honest. The best part about this place is the relatively cheap price for a mani pedi. Past that I cant. First of all, they seem a bit understaffed for the space they have. Unless you get lucky and someone free, make an appointment or you will be sent to the shop around back that they also run. 2nd, I feel like they moves at snails pace when there is a high volume of customers. 3rd, it always irks me when I'm getting my pedicure that some of the pedicurist throw the dead skin that they're cutting off into my water. Lastly, any business charging 2 dollars to use a debit card machine in 2019 is ridiculous. read more

DON'T COME HERE!! You'll regret it! They not only cut and bled my cuticles but also cut the bottom of my fingernail.. they made my friends nail ingrown and naaasty!! Lol but honestly just don't!! This place is dusty and dirrrtty AF!! Save your money and run your hands through a shredder, because that's what it looks like when they're done! Last class nails won't see another dime!! Bye Felicia!! read more

Great pedicure today. 10/10 COVID restrictions in place as well like malls and distancing

I LOVE this place. I can come him and relax! They do excellent job on my toes and mani. Sea salt scrub on my pedi with extra massage. It's an excellent stress-relief experience. To be completely honest - I must say that I have been coming here for many many years. It has always been a good crowd of people - which means people keep coming. For years I came like clock work every two weeks and was lucky to get the same nail technician. For a time (about a year) I stopped coming because they felt comfortable asking me if I could come back later because they were busy. The first few times,I appreciated the gesture- but as this kept on happening I felt un-appreciated - specially since they still made me wait a long time even when I came back later. So I hunted for a salon close by with good prices, that did a good job, clean and had nice spa chairs. After a year of trying a different place in the area every month - I decided to come back and give them a try one more time. They have been wonderful ever since. I get excellent customer service. The owner opened another salon within the same plaza. I have seen them refer the new customers that don't want to wait to the other location and they are doing an excellent job making the regular customers feel special. They are awesome and I am planning to continue to come here for many years. We come together as a family: me (grandma), my daughter and granddaughter and it's always a great pleasant experience. read more

This was my first time at this location as I usually get my nails done across down and wanted to try find a place locally. At first, it was good. I was greeted and seated as soon as I got there. The woman who worked on my nails was very nice and she took her time with me. Even as it started to fill up, she made sure she got back to the people waiting and let them know she would be right with them. The service was great. The reason for the low rating is the poor quality of polish that they have. I've never heard of the brand (I believe was DNC) but the reason people get gel is that it would last a little longer than regular nail polish. It wasn't even two days when one of my nail's polished chipped. And then I realized the polish by my cuticles had risen up in mostly all of my nails! (You know when your passing your fingers through your hair and it gets stuck underneath the polish? So annoying) I kid you not it didn't even last me one week! This is the cheapest I've paid for a gel manicure ($22) but I guess you get what you paid for. I went back across town to my usual spot within 6 days to pay $20 for a gel change. It's unfortunate this is not my "to go shop" as I am close by, so I guess my quest continues. read more

I gave this place a 4 because Maggie is amazing and she knows what she is doing. So if you need to get an awesome job done this place is great but you have to go to Maggie ! I'm sure she's not the only terrific one, but in the times I've come here two other people have done my nails and I don't leave as happy as I should after getting my manicures or acrylic nails done. So my recommendation is to go to Maggie ! read more

This is a typical L.A nail shop. They do a good job, but nothing special. The biggest perk is that I never have a long wait time. Could be just my good timing but I never wait more than 15mins. read more

I tried lots of places and i didn't really like the way they did my nails. Then one day I saw my friend's nails and I saw that they were so pretty! I asked her where did she do her nails. Then she showed me first class nails & spa she also said to ask for Daniel, I went and asked for him, and I said finally I found someone I like Daniel he is very nice and very good I really recommend this place:) (but if you have children I prefer you leave them at home or go when they are at school) Thank you Tym for showing me this place and thank you Daniel for giving me such good nail read more

Fantastic service. They took me in very quickly for my mani and pedi. The pricing was good and the ladies were friendly. Susie was my gel mani lady. And she was very sweet Andy even gave me 10 year old daughter some cherries and allowed her to sit in the massage chair after she was done with her mani. I'll be back! read more

I came in and could tell they don't like pretty classy & strong here. If I had a wand and could turn it into a better place I would ! Was treated rudely I caught them in a lie they serviced 2 people behind me with no appointment too almost 45 minutes just to make me feel unwanted because I guess I was just getting a polish removal and new color change polish. Sad they treat out people like this and where the reason they still in business. read more

I've read the previous comments on this nail salon. I just want to say, Tina was so great and two men in the salon were MORE then compensating towards my two daughters (who are ages 3 and 4yrs old) who looked to forward to the TREAT of a "mani/pedi". Thanks again to FIRST CLASS NAILS! read more

Rude and don't know what they're doing. This is the nail shop you come to when everything else is closed or you're low on money. Just had one of the worst pedicures in my life. Got a callous remover that didn't do anything. And the nail polish is chunky. I coach her and ask questions throughout the entire process and it still isn't right. So if you have low expectations this place may be the right fit. If you don't care about your mani and pedis come right on in. read more

First class is the best I love coming here , there is never a wait and the work is flawless no matter who does my nails, everyone is so sweet and happy!

First class???? What a crock of metro piece of shhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I only stumbled upon here because the place I wanted to check out just so happens to be closed on Mondays. Despite the poor reviews, I decided to be fair & give them a whirl because lets face it - most nail places are hit or miss (unless you go to the Japanese nail salons that is) Alas, lesson learned with massive regret :( I needed a simple fill. Seriously, I could have done a better job at home. Amateurs!!! He literally filled it by plopping the powder down, didn't bother brushing it, and barely filed anything, oh except for my SKIN!!! Little knicks everywhere with blood for evidence. When he went to go buff it manually, I actually had to ask/remind him to FILE IT, which he neglected to do. I even stated the nails were so thick and just messy! No response/reaction. The story continues... I wanted my nail tips to be filed square instead of oval this time - NOT cut down but just FILED straight and he said it would be a $3 additional charge. Get outta here - which I really should have just upped and left. My former pretty manicured nails now look like uneven globs and different textures of acrylic! Bumpy bumpy globs of sloppy careless rushed and UNFINISHED work! Some parts are thick, some parts are concaved and sunken in. Done truly blind except it wasn't and it was in broad daylight. Also, why was this fool in such a rush? There weren't busy (as I can tell why) nor were there customers in queue. Came here to save time & ended up throwing away TIME and $ Just another sad nail story of... Nail Neanderthals!!! Location: doesn't matter - go somewhere else (in a strip mall plaza next to 99 cents store) Parking: doesn't matter - go somewhere else (free parking lot) read more

If I could give a zero I would! Gel nails didn't last five minutes. Had to walk back in for her to fix the bubbles and extra gel spilling over. Five days later they are chipped and several have peeled off completely. She messed up and painted my toes with gel instead of regular polish. I put on my shoes the next day to board a plane. When I took them off all of the polish was gone or smeared! Worst nail experience ever! Don't waste your time or money read more
