Classy Nails

Over priced and horrible customer service. The older lady doing my nails was very rude, she kept sighing and making noises while painting my nails. I really didn’t want to come here but it was the only place nearby that was open on a Saturday night past 7pm. Next time, I will make the extra drive to Tanforan’s Da-​Vi nails.
Also, my GEL polish started to peel already and it’s only been 2 days!

I tried a lot of nail salon but this place is exceptional because of tracyyyyyyy who use to work at tanforan mall she always make my nail so nice and clean and it really last for so long!!! Always request for her or husband Kevin they are phenomenon!!! Happy customer!!!

Wow. This place is definitely over priced. Most of the nail salons that I go to charge $ 25 for gel which is reasonable considering how perfect and how long they last. This place charges $ 30!!! That’s so outside of the norm.
My nail tech was Jenny, and I wouldn’t recommend. She went in on cutting my excess skin around my nail and ended up cutting so much that its now red and bare. It’s seriously not appealing. She didn’t even pay attention to me half of the time. After she was done cleaning my nails before polishing, she went to go clean something without even letting me know. She just stood up and left me for 5 mins. I’m always to assume these nail techs always talk trash about their customers. She doesn’t even care for detail or shaping my nails evenly.
Overrall i’m content with how my nails went, you can’t even tell that the shape is pretty lob sided.
I would rather get gel elsewhere.

I haven’t been to this place for couple of years until I moved out here. It’s close to home. I didn’t have an appointment and waited maybe 15 minutes. Vivian asked if i needes anything waxed while I waited since everyone was busy to do my gel fill right away. I told her no. After a few seconds asking me she ended up doing my nails so I didn’t have to wait longer. She took time on me, asked me if Ishe hurted me while she did my nails, and asked politely how i wanted my nails done. She did such an awesome job I am coming back to her!
Thanks Vivian

I’m going to write a review, but unfortunately I do not have names of the people who did my pedicures. I’ve been here a handful or times. I must say I never had problems in the past and if anything have one of the men do your mani/​pedi. They are more gentle. Last Friday I had a pedi done by an older woman there and boy she was rough. I knew my toe nails needed clipping but I didn’t expect her to cut them so darn short and then was filing I could literally scream. I was totally upset. It’s already Monday and my left big toe is throbbing like heck and I know it had to do with this woman and her awful service. Never again will I like her touch me… NEVER!!! And to top it off it was a sloppy pedicure.

If you’re a person who is on the go, but likes to have clean, classy looking nails this is the place to go! Swift, yet thorough service and friendly vibes. My go to nail salon!

This was my first time coming to this salon and I was in need to get my nails done since I was in the mall. Let me start with the lady that did my nails. I wish I got her name but she rushed and did my manicure really quick! I didn’t like how she rushed into it and she didn’t do a good job cutting my cuticles. I had to tell her to cut whatever I still see left on my nails. She was so aggressive when she gave me a hand massage I was not satisfied with that & who uses cuticle oil all over the hand for a hand massage?!! This was the first salon I ever had someone use cuticle oil to massage all over my hands. Usually it’s just the cuticle only! Don’t think I’ll be coming back here again.

This has to be the worst place to get nails done! My full set is crooked and misshaped. The pedicure was barely that. The paint on both hands and feet are jacked up! Bonus the prices are too high for this kind of horrible service.
Can someone please explain why anyone would return?
I now have to go somewhere else to get a new pedicure tomorrow and re-​do this Nasty gel manicure.

I still visit this salon and the service is still amazing. Tracy who I have been going to for my eyebrows for years now. She never seems to disappoint at all, she takes great care of you, always has a welcoming smile and knows her clients by name. Tracy does great work overall. Go check them out!

Always a great experience when I get my nails done here. Liz always does a great job and always makes sure i am satisfied with my nails.

This review is for Dorothy only. Never been too fond of the nails here. They look wack!
Before threading was the hype, there was Dorothy. I still come to see her from time to time as she is the only one I trust waxing my brows. Yes, she is always on demand but it’s because she knows what she is doing. I have had the not so pleasure of going to other places just to have them leave my eyebrows too thin or uneven and poor Dorothy always has to fix them. (After she yells at me of course jkjk)
She is great, and keeps it real. If you have ugly eyebrows, she will help you and tell you. Dorothy has been doing eyebrows for years and is good at what she does, which to me makes her an expert in my eyes. $ 10 for a good eyebrow wax, I can’t beat it and neither should you.

Those of you that have been looking for Mimi, she is no longer at Classy Nails. Follow Mimi’s link at mimi nail design in South San Francisco. Her new shop is in So. San Francisco, in a salon called Elvia’s hair salon.
I first found Mimi browsing through Unilocal looking for a good nail salon. Mimi had nothing but good reviews and her work looked amazing! So I decided to give her a try. I can honestly say there isn’t anyone else I would go to now that I found Mimi, she’s best! Not only does she do wonders with nails but she takes her time and makes sure it’s at your perfection. If your looking for good service and quality nails I recommend giving Mimi a try, you won’t regret it.

Came here again last week but I was disappointed to find that girl who usually does my manicure wasn’t working. I didn’t have time to come by another day so I just settled for getting my nails done by some other older woman, who did a mediocre job on my nails. She took over an hour just filing and filling them in– such a change from Liz, who has always done them. Sadly, my gel started to peel after one day, and I just decided to take the entire polish off and paint over it myself, for the meantime. I’ll be sure to find Liz the next time I go, but for now, my nails are sad and bleak looking :-(

Hey guys, I have some sad news. If you have gotten your nails done by MIMI, she no longer works at classy nail. I swear she really is the best, hands down. *pun intended. Lol her customer service is awesome and my nails is always on fleek. You rlly wont be disappointed. She’s still within peninsula area, just search Mimi Nail Design, in SSF! Just make sure you schedule apnts

Saddest News Ladies and Gents, found out that my favorite go to, Mimi, is no longer with Classy Nails. If you had the pleasure of receiving her kind customer service, she can be found at her other location — just look up Mimi Nails Design in South San Francisco. It is on Hickey and El Camino Real, close to Costco.
If anything, ask for Jenni on nails or Dorothy for waxes because I know they are Rockstars as well.

Went to Mimi based on Unilocal reviews.
I made an appointment and when I got there she greeted me and took me to her station. She was very friendly and sweet. I also wanted a pedicure. Being that it was a Friday’s free on they were busy– so in between the acrylic and filing Mimi suggested I do my pedicure. Which helped them balance clients but also got me in before the rush. In the mean time she worked on another client. I waited maybe 10 mins after my pedicure but she came up to check if I was okay with the wait and was very apologetic and attentive.
Her customer service was beyond expectations.
I got ombré glitter gel on my nails. (Coffin shaped acrylics) everything from the shape to the gel application came out perfect. My nails look great! I will defiantly go back and go to Mimi based on her skills and sweet personality. See picture.
Thank you.
Also the pedicure was good too. $ 20 for a basic, which is a good price for a mall pedicure. Even though the shop is small and looks busy, I didn’t have to wait.

This place is so dirty I don’t even want to set my coffee down anywhere. There’s dust and nail clippings all over the floor. When they filed my nails they let the dust go all over my clothes.
At one point she sprayed alcohol and it got on my pants.
The chair massage was horrible, while it was on. She made me turn it off pretty quickly. She hardly gave me a massage. Mani pedi was pretty lame.
I don’t feel relaxed at all… You can get a much better mani pedi for $ 8 cheaper in the Richmond district.

Two stars for the simple fact they took walk-​ins and the pedicure color job wasn’t bad. Other than that, probably the worst I’ve had in a while.
I move for work so I’m always looking for a good nail place when I move. This place was rushed, terrible service, and terrible quality.
I immediately want the shellac off my nails moments after being done. There is polish all around the nails with huge areas being missed. Left my nails under the UV light way too long at a time as there is no timer on them.
There was no relaxation, never offered any scrub or anything extra for the pedicure. It was a brief lotion application with color change, that I can do at home after a shower.
Definitely wouldn’t be returning here, the whole process took maybe 20 minutes, and a waste of 20 minutes and money at that.

After a long day at work and networking my toes were yelling at me. I’m long overdue for a good pedi.
My friend and I were coming from a mixer and we decided to get a pedi. You have to call for an appt. they get really busy.
Cherry helped me out w my ingrown. She was very concerned on whether or not it will hurt and that I should let her know.
I decided to go out of my comfort zone an go w a hot pink. Love it. She also put a design.
Will definitely come back if she’s consistent.
Thanks Cherry!

I have been anticipating the moment of getting my nails done for an early present. It’s hectic and busy here so I commend them for taking care of who steps inside of the door. The lady at the front convince me to get a manicure, French one plain with the white tips. Was informed to be 12 $ and when paying it resulted to be 17 $. I let it go, especially since I had enough left.
The lady who did my nails carried on a hostile demeanor which makes it seem impossible to create conversation with. When doing my nails it was done a bit roughly and rushed but the results ended well. She informed me to head to the side to place my nails under the light. Waiting more than I should have because she didn’t check up on me to tell me the correct time. In fact, she told me ten minutes after she started her break. Overall I waited half an hour to thirty five minutes. I’m very patient don’t get me wrong but really? Informing me the very last minute when I was right in your perspective the whole time, come on now.
I’m still half, half about this place. It’s my first time being there so I can’t make quick judgement but I do hope that every other employee shows better hospitality and friendly smiles than the woman who did my nails. If I do come back, I hope for a better experience but from what I’ve seen from observing others they do a good job with the nails.
+ It’s been a week only and my manicure peeled off on the corners only one four of my nails.
