Emmy is amazing!!! This was my first time coming here and let me just say it was the best experience Ive ever had getting my nails done. Emmy was able to shape my nails exactly how I wanted them and also add some of her own touches to the design I wanted. Their prices are a little higher than other salons Ive been to but its worth it to me to pay for quality work and customer service. I will only be coming to Classic Nails for any nail service from now on!

This nail salon is amazing. Not only did they get me in quickly (immediately), as a walk-in, but they took their time and did an amazing job. They were able to accommodate a nail design that I showed them a photo of, which was great.Everyone who works there was very kind and fun to be around. I felt very comfortable there even though this was my first time there.Make sure if you go you have the proper form of payment as they do not take debit or credit cards.All in all it was a great experience and I will definitely be going back for all manicure and pedicure needs in the future.The poor lighting in my photo doesnt do these nails justice.

Amazing experience! We’re very kind, gentle, and did and amazing job! One of the only salons I know of that uses clear tips for acrylics. They shape them perfectly, paint them precisely, and are just overall super amazing at their job! They also repaired my super bitten down nail beds so they were able to make them long still! They put in so much effort and it’s worth the time and money for the quality.

Honestly I am so glad I found this place! I’ll never go to anyone else. Everyone is professional but also so funny and the atmosphere is bubbly and positive. My nails never disappoint! There are so many options from colors to glitter to butterfly statement pieces. They also have clear acrylics for all the trendy nail art these days. Seriously so worth the price (which is actually super affordable)

I had a really great experience it was my first time getting a manicure and they were very kind and professional. She helped me pick out colors, and was very personable. I have to keep my nails short because Im a musician, and I think they turned out beautiful.

The first piece of advice I can give is make sure you schedule your service ahead of time. Reviews about untimely service on non appointments are not fair to this business as they naturally have to prioritize the scheduled services before serving walk-ins. With that said, we had a scheduled service for 3 people and when we got there we had three providers waiting, I loved that. They did a wonderful job and we were all very happy with our mani/pedis. Jennifer was my person and I really enjoyed my time with her. None of it felt rushed. That was important to us as this time together was for a unique occasion.Prices were fair and they have a lot of color and service options to choose from.I would recommend a backup payment option for this business to offer to customers that don’t have Venmo or cash. Had I not been prepared to pay for my whole party my older family member would have certainly panicked at the thought of having to sign up for an app right then and there given that cash has not been widely accepted through covid and many have fallen out of the habit of carrying it. It can ruin someone’s whole experience of self-care being faced with that surprise.No other complaints :) highly recommend this place. Will probably not go anywhere else in the near future.

I LOVE going to Classic Nails! Emmy is always very nice, and accommodating. They do really well with my daughter, who has a very hard time sitting still.Im totally hooked on the chrome. Ivw gotten a lot of compliments and I love that! Where do you get your nails done?This week I went with a bright orange with the chrome, and accent nail, and it is AWESOME! Its worth it it all around, especially getting the spa pedicure along with the manicure.

Went with some friends and we called ahead of time that we were coming in. they asked what we wanted and we showed them and all of them are really simple but the lowest price for a simple pink acrylics was $75, ive been to different nail salons and they all charge for $40-$45 and they always come out great but $75? NO thanks! but they charged my friends $85 for simple looking acrylics. what was weird was that all the employees kept asking this one employee what the price would be for each one. shouldn’t they know already what prices they are? and we went early and there wasn’t people in there but a large group of people went in there and no social distance AT ALL! and keep in mind it’s very small in there. Don’t recommend.

Love this nail salon! Have been coming here for 7 years, even when the previous owners were here. Newest owner Emmy is very talented, very skilled, and works hard to make your job perfect. Plexiglass screens are up and masks are used along with cleaning and hand washing.

Review №25

3 hours to do my nails and regular pedicure. I will say they did have to remove thick gel nails but the lady seem inexperienced at the removal as it took collectively 45-1 hr. Just to remove.The pedicure was mediocre...due to her going back and forth trying to remove my old polish. She tried removing my old polish with an acrylic nail sliding it in between the polish and my nail and ended up making my finger bleed. She was apologetic but it set the tone for the rest of the service as it was uncomfortable.The massage on the chair was terrible. It hurt so much I stopped using it in 2 min.I did get a dipped French manicure and it came out OK the lines are not as sharp as I would prefer and theres a lot of bubbles you can see. There was no hand massage. For $75 (just for colored nails that were mine, OUCH.)I would expect at least that.I have never paid $75 for a French dip manicure. With my own nails. $50 for a basic pedicure with shellac. Definitely too pricey.P.S.- they don’t take credit/cards. You have to pay via a cash app., cash or check. Inconvenient

Review №26

They did wonderfully on my nails! The technician who filled my nails got it as close to my cuticles as possible and made them look lovely. I will say I had broken one nail and expected to pay a little over the regular fill price of $25, but instead was charged $45 dollars to fix my one nail and the fill. I felt a bit ripped off by that but I guess you get what you pay for.

My daughter and 2 of her friends went to get their nails done here Friday june 3 2021 they did horrible they were rude to her she was embarrassed to ask for the nails she wanted because the lady was so rude these girls saved up their money to get their nails done and they did a bad job over priced for the work that was done

Great prices and friendly service. Came on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to accommodate us both after a short wait. The massage chairs are nice, as is the space. They take venmo, which is great, particularly since it means you dont have to shuffle for your credit card with wet nails. My gel manicure lasted for over a month of unforgiving treatment. Ill definitely go back.

Review №33

I come here about once a month or so with my mother for pedicures or manicures. We always receive excellent service. They are very attentive to your comfort. They are constantly checking in on whether the water is a good temperature, etc. They are working on renovations currently. They recently got new chairs that are quite nice. I especially appreciate the art they have on the walls. They have all of their services with prices up on the wall so it’s easy pick what you want with no surprises. It’s worth noting that you should ensure you have Venmo or something similar setup since they do not accepts cards at this moment in time. Aside from that, the people there are attentive and friendly with excellent customer service. I’ve always left happy and relaxed.

My daughter who is 12 wanted to go get her nails done with her friend and I. So we all 3 went to this place. At first all was well then at the end it was horrible they charged extra to shape the girls nails to coffin shape and for having sparkles on 1 finger and a color on the other. Each of them ended up paying 60.00 a peice for there nails to get done then for mine a dark color they put 3 thick coats of color on so they didnt dry all the way and are now all messed up i dont recommend this place at all

Intimate and clean nail shop in the heart of downtown Gresham. The staff is courteous and easy to understand. We had pedicures today and the nail technicians did a fabulous job. Very happy with the pressure and duration of the foot/leg massage. Will likely be one of our new regular spots. Remember to bring cash or have Venmo ready.

This place was so awesome! One of the best nail salons Ive ever been to. The friendly staff interacted with us on a personal level and talked to us in depth about properly caring for our toes. Tony took extra care of my mother for her birthday and helped get her nails in better shape. Mary was so sweet and did such a good job paying close attention to detail. John was very nice and gave a great massage of the feet and legs.

Review №47

We went in after walking around downtown Gresham and they were able to fit all three of us in and unfortunately when they removed my polish from a previous pedicure there was some damage to the nail bed. They seemed knowledgeable, thus telling me how to care for my nails for the next few weeks. We will definitely come back.

I have been going with my wife to Classic Nails for several years and appreciate their nail care. I have pedicures and my ingrown toenails are so much better as both Tony and Mary are showing me how to care for them in between pedicure appointments. They are wonderful to work us in on short notice. We enjoy their nice music, kindness of service and very professional techniques. It is a favorite day out on the town together to keep our feet healthy. Walking is more comfortable when feet are not hurting and well cared for too.

I stumbled across this cute salon a week or so ago. I love how clean it was, their prices are very fair, and they are the sweetest people! My pedicure turned out amazing and I left feeling relaxed.They specialize in foot health, so you wont be pushed through like just another customer. They will make sure your feet are pampered and that your nails are healthy and well taken care of. They gave me some great advice on letting my toenails breathe every once in a while (no polish). Theyre so kind and honest, most salons would just push you through and encourage you to make your next appointment.I will definitely be back!

Review №51

Pros- Emmy does a good job with nails (i had a very good fill and a decent full set of solar) prices are not too bad, cute decor. Scheduling by text is convenient and easy. Very nice neighborhood, plenty of parking.Cons- one of the worst pedicures Ive ever had- sloppy, uneven, clumsy and no exfoliating. Limited color selection. They offer waxing but its done in a partitioned corner of the room, behind a makeshift drywall wall in a very small space. No privacy at all, I would never be comfortable getting a wax there. Cash or check only, no credit cards accepted.

I went here because Ive been having a hard time trying to find a new favorite salon. I used to live in Vancouver and loved where I went. This is the only place that had a friendly conversation and did good quality work. I will be coming back and highly reccomend. The only thing is they accept cash or check but they also use money transferring apps. So if you dont have cash or check its totally fine if you use online banking.

I went in here for the first time for a pedicure this week. I have to admit, I am not a picky individual, but this pedicure does look like I painted it myself (very poor job, red paint on my skin, they also made my big toe bleed, it was very painful.) In addition, it also took 1.5 hours which is absurd. To conclude they also gave me a nice earful about how I should accept Jesus into my life...I will never go back here, ever...awful experience, just awful.

HORRIBLE!!! I made an appointment at 9:45am and had to wait 20 minutes for the worker to show up. Then she doesn’t even greet me. She just starts working on my feet. She doesn’t scrub my feet, and my toenails aren’t completely polished. Then charges me $43 dollars and tells me I have to go to an ATM because they don’t accept debit. 🙄I had to go get the cash and get charged from that bank and my bank $6. What happen to doing a great job at what you do???

Review №71

Decided to try somewhere new for a gel manicure and a normal pedicure. He cut my toe nails way to short and un-even and also made my toes bleed by trimming way below the cuticle. I paid for a gel manicure but Im not sure what was put on my nails. It was rubbery like gel but super thin and not hard. To begin, he cut my nails when I only asked for them to be filed, he cut my thumb nail to the lowest it could get and until it started bleeding. So not only are my nails so short that they bleed, they are un-even and weak. The so called gel nail polish was over lapping on my skin and peeled off after I showered that night. So I got to pay $55 for painful toes and gel nail polish that lasted a whole 2 hours. Now I get to go to my normal nail place and pay them another $25 for a REAL gel manicure.

Review №73

Took my sister for her birthday present because they had great reviews and low prices. The quality of the services was disappointing. My sister got a gel polish manicure that had a bunch of bubbles in it and had already started coming off an hour later. My gel nails were funny shaped and didnt quite fit my hand right. Neither of us got any sort of cuticle care done which I was surprised by, Ive always seen that happen when getting any kind of manicure. The place was empty when we went, and it just felt awkward. We went an hour before closing, and you could feel it; they felt really rushed to get us out the door. It was just not the fun experience I expect when I go to get my nails done. Ill keep looking for a better mani spot in Gresham.

I was a walk in client yesterday about 1 in the afternoon. The guy, Mike, who is one of the owners from what I understand, gave me a full set of acrylics. Now, its 10:51 am the next day. It hasnt been 24 hours even and 6 of my nails are broken off. I do not do any heavy lifting, or any major hard work. One came off while I was folding a piece of bread, another came off when I picked up a very soft cotton pillow and two came off while I was washing my short, thin hair, in the shower. I havent gotten a manicure since 2012 but I doubt that the quality acceptance has degraded to accept this.There is also a lot of pressure under the remaining nails, and if anything touched my right thumb it has shooting pains.Speaking for getting the manicure itself. He glued on tips to my nails for length. Ive honestly never had a nail tech glue ANYTHING onto my fingers before, but I thought that since he was the professional, that he knows what he is doing.He then put on the acrylic mix, then painted the top. Ive never had a tech put nail polish on top of acrylic before, but I thoguht he was just doing a different yet still high quality method since he himself said he likes to call them mani cares, because they care about high quality When I used to get my nails done bi-weekly in 2012 (not at this location) I would be given length by the tech putting a foil form under my finger and applying acrylic to it, then peeling foil off once it set. This method I was able to have beautiful nails for up to a month at a time never once having any lift, cracking, or peeling off, and I was a manager at a pizza hut at the time picking up heavy boxes, serving hot pans, using heavy duty tools daily. Now I have a part time sandwhich shop job, where there is zero heavy lifting, zero use of tools besides a bread knife, and no possibility of my fingers getting caught in anything or pinched.However I DID ENJOY his conversation, the atmosphere of the store, I am extremely disappointed that something I paid $40 is now ruined just by, washing my hands, making a sandwich, moving a pillow and taking a shower! I attempted to go back to his store today. Their door said they opened at 10:15, I got there a bit before, and waited right outside of the door until 10:35, and it was still closed, and I called multiple times and no one picked up.All I want is my money back because I dont trust them to try to fix it. Ill be going to another salon for removal of the other nails that are still on.
