I love it here! When I came in I was quickly greeted by the new owner, Patty! It was clear that she cared for every customer that came in and even remembered everyone's name! I came in as a walk in and was immediately seated and got a gel manicure! I loved how they turned out! Will definitely come in again! read more

The Nails Of Utopia - Entry way! Absolutely beautiful and clean!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

See all

I thought I'd found my new place as they did 2 great manicures. when I went in a third time, I woman who was working on me ditched me for an important (?) regular. I sat there awkwardly for about 10 minutes and another lady came and finished the job. I didn't feel great..... Like I said, they do a great job but the practices are a little not nice. read more

Overall, a good experience. Booked through ClassPass; they almost had trouble finding my reservation, but they eventually found it. Came in for a simple mani/pedi, and that's what I got. I'd probably come back based on the ease of parking and the standard, efficient work. ATM located inside the salon; tip your workers! read more

I came here based on the Yelp reviews and agree. The staff is pleasant and the manager seems to treat the staff well. read more

My 3rd pedi here, very good each time. They are clean & friendly, instruments are wrapped and sterilized, disposable callous buffers used. I even treated myself to a 20 minute chair massage & the technician did a great job, it was like a mini spa day read more

Brian is the best- I come here for UV gel and always have a great experience. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. Have been here two times now and both were stellar. After a horrible experience in another Montclair nail salon, this was a real treat. Great massage, shaping, and polish selection. New owner is so sweet and even gave me a pair of flip flops for my freshly pedicured feet and hand cream. Never have heard mean gossip or complaints from fellow costumers. 5 stars!!!! read more

I have never been here before. Called and made an appointment for a pedicure with no problems. The salon is very clean and the interior is nice. I got my pedicure about 3.5 weeks ago and it has lasted with some minor wear down. I'm very impressed & will be returning! read more

I scheduled a French gel manicure through ClassPass. I was a little nervous about doing this for the first time, but I loved how my nails came out and it was quick. The staff was also very friendly. Whenever I get a gel mani, it chips pretty quickly. however, they clearly use good products and a good application method because my nails are still perfect as day 1 a week later. I will be back. read more

I was looking for a new spot and my friend recommended this location. I made an appointment as a new customer over the phone for a mani/pedi. The owner Petty was very welcoming and friendly. I showed her and Jennifer a picture of what I wanted and it came out great. My green tea pedicure was excellent. Perfect polish application. They are clean and use autoclaves. The atmosphere and employees are nice. I will definitely be coming back as a regular! read more

Utopia Nails is by far the best place in Montclair to get your nails done! I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. I get my manicures from Jennifer, who is incredibly sweet and has done beautiful, intricate, and impressive designs on my nails. Patty, the owner, is also wonderful. She once gave me an umbrella and walked me to my car in the pouring rain. Everyone who works here is very kind and they will treat you with the utmost respect. The facility is also kept very clean, and I felt very safe getting my nails done there throughout COVID. I can't stress enough how fantastic of a spot Utopia Nails is. read more

Wonderful service and the owner is genuine and kind. I don't usually get my nails done often but she remembers me and even my Mom when she came to town several years ago. My last visit was in March and the establishment was clean and inviting, they followed all Covid procedures and my pedicure was amazing. Thank you! read more

I love it here. Just moved to town and Patty and her staff were amazing! Patty welcomed me to town and even gave me a pair of sandals to walk home in when I realized I forgot mine. This place is great! read more

My first experience with a regular Mani/Pedi was so good I returned for a second time. This was a vastly different experience. Called ahead for an appt and had the mani 1st because pedi chairs were occupied. Totally fine. Mani finished and was asked to wait for pedi chair. Now regulars, with later appts, arrive and are seated in the pedi chairs. Was prepared to leave the 4th time that occurred and was called to the back, different area, literally back of the house. Went ahead with the pedi (to match my mani) and after settling the tab looked around for the technicians to tip. 1st chair in the front has her pedi started by the technician that just finished my pedi. Odd. Was I made to wait and seated in the back because I was not a regular? one of the few clients masked (all staff were)? or the only client at the time who is person of color? Overall unpleasant experience. No plans to return. Do better. read more

I love this place. All of the women that work there are incredibly nice & professional. It is always clean & sanitized properly. I have tried lots of salons and have yet to find a better place than this! I recommend calling ahead for an appointment because sometimes it gets busy. Prices are fair (mani $12/ pedi $23) & the ladies do a great job. read more

As I am sitting in the pedicure chair disgusted - I write this review . I used to come to Utopia on a weekly basis for pedicures and gel manicures. I liked it because it was clean, but a bit overpriced and although it is Asian owned, you were treated kindly without the constant speaking in another language in your presence ( Like Seinfeld episode with Elaine). After becoming a steady customer and having a regular pedicure girl, and always tipping her over 20% , but her work became shotty, and actually painful. I stopped going and found another salon which was cheaper, and did a fine job . I happened to be in the area today and came in for a pedicure after not coming for probably almost 2yrs. The girl giving me the pedicure did not speak English and could not understand a dam thing when I was telling her she was being too rough, until I finally yelled "OUCH". She scraped the side off foot too hard. She continued and then a few minutes later again ..."OUCH" - the other foot. The owner came over and switched her with another girl. But then proceeded to carry on in Korean or whatever they speak. Rude. Never apologized to me or came and checked my feet. Should have comp'ed my pedicure. Won't ever go back. Beginning to wonder if all the girls are licensed or if they are getting fake documents. read more

Excellent adherence to client and employee safety with reopening during the Coronavirus!!! Patty is a kind and conscientious salon owner. Jennifer is the best for gel manicures and Mariana accompanies the pedicure with a great leg massage if you have the time and a few extra $$$. Wishing them all the best in getting back up to "normal" business levels after the mandatory closing. Definitely the best nail salon in Montclair!!! DD read more

I have been looking for a salon in the area for awhile since moving here and I can't even begin to describe my experience, but I will!!! I was going to get a regular manicure to try this place out but then I changed my mind because it costs 5 dollars more to take the gel polish I currently had on. I was greeted by a man at the front desk and seated immediately, which I might add he even held the chair out for me. The girl who did my nails her name was Ellie did an amazing job and I might add her nails were so beautiful I decided to paint mine her color as well. Best hand and shoulder massage I've ever had. Ellie's attention to detail is amazing and I will be a regular customer going forward. So thrilled to have found a salon that's modern, clean and comfortable. Thank you for making my day relaxing and enjoyable. read more

Inconsistent, not accommodating and very rushed. I have been to this place over 2 dozen times in the last 5-7 years and I am over it. You just never know what kind of service you will get. read more

Came here recently with my grandma, I got a pedicure and she got a gel manicure. I've been coming here for years, and I've always liked it. It's not the cheapest place in town, but it's very clean and the people there are friendly. As usual, I was very impressed with my pedicure. My grandma loved her gel manicure and said it was one of the best she's ever had! read more

I go there regularly for a pedicure. The prices are reasonable. The staff is good and efficient. The variety of products is extensive. They used to be open on Sunday, which I liked. But, no more! Parking is a challenge. Cash only. read more

Amazing salon! Very clean and everyone is so friendly and professional. Service is fast and consistent - ask for Jinny! I have been getting my nails done from her for ages. Never disappoints! Love the quality. Definite recommend!!! read more

I like this salon because its not noisy and filled with gossiping people. I can relax and get professional service. My pedicure has not chipped and its entering the two week mark. My pink and white nails are doing well also. I will return. read more

I've been going to this salon for quite some time and because of the high prices stopped for a year or so. Recently I decided to go back after my new nail tech didn't have an appointment and I needed to get my nails ASAP. Jennifer did my nails...brand new gel set on May 1, 2018. On May 11, my nails started lifting from the cuticle on May 13, my nails started popping off after I paid $128 for this set and a pedicure. When I called, they didn't even attempt to help me. Instead they wanted me to come in 2 days later. Never again! read more

Not a great experience. I've had two disappointing manicures here. The last one, a mani-pedi actually, was really badly done. I'm moving on.

Salon is VERY clean and professional. My gel manicures and spa pedicures turn out great. Only downside is parking can be iffy at times. Call ahead to make sure they can take you, otherwise you might have to wait as a walk in. read more

I had been to this nail salon a few times and found their services to be fairly good. However, I went there today for a manicure and pedicure and had a terrible experience and will not be returning. I got to the nail salon around 6pm (the location closes at 7:30pm). I was taken right away and received my pedicure first. When the technician was finishing my manicure she made a comment that she was going to use the "quick dry" top coat as I was the last client left. It was not even 7pm at this time and all of the employees were in complete shop shut-down mode cleaning and stocking the salon. I understand wanting to get out on time but the shop does not close until 7:30pm and they still had 45 mins of operating time. I would have just ignored her comment and the frantic cleaning by the employees but I was then moved to the drying station where after 5 mins another employee came over, checked my pedicure and stated that it was dry. She then proceeded to wrap my feet in baggies and put my shoes back on for me. She then say "okay bye, thank you". She never even checked to see if my manicure was dry. I left because I felt uncomfortable but my nails were still tacky and I smudged two getting into my car. I ended up just taking off the nail polish when I got home. There are a ton of nail salons in Montclair to choose from, I will not be back to this one. read more

If you are looking for a cheap, decent mani pedi, this is the place. The employees are nice, and there are lots of nail colors to choose from. Pretty good. read more
