been my go to nail salon for pedicures since 2024 ! I usually come in as a walk in and get taken right away and opt for a regular gel pedicure . I've gotten a handful for nail tech but unfortunately never got any of their names . The salon itself is pretty spacious and clean ! Each time I'm left satisfied and relaxed n never had a moment where I felt they trimming my nails too short or scrubbing too hard . Although I will say I always ask for a milky white color , and with that color it often requires multiple top coats . But on multiple occurrences I've had the nail tech visibly get annoyed / try to get me to do a more harsh white , which can get kind of frustrating. Some nail techs are more willing to go that extra step , which I do appreciate. Other than that , I'll be a returning customer . read more

I have been here many times for a pedicure and they did a great job, today I came in for a basic manicure and it was not the same experience. My manicure was horrible. It was a basic manicure with clear polish. My nails are uneven and rough, they don't even have a shine. She only applied one coat. Unfortunately I will not be coming back to this establishment. I also felt that the station was not very clean in sanitary. I found another place that does an amazing job for basic manicure for only $15 so that is definitely going to be my go to. read more

Amazing! My second time here in the past few months. They have new spa seats which are sooooooo nice! They have a cover table top thingy while you seat so you can rest more comfortable or put your phone on it easier. AND the seats warm!!!! I'm using it now and am in HEAVEN!! There wasn't much wait for my walk in today and everyone is so nice! Parking is also plentiful and prices are pretty good! Might be my new favorite salon! And you get a free drink too. Hannah is doing my pedicure now and then will remove my acrylics. She's awesome! The best foot massage I've ever had during a pedicure. read more

UT Nails and Spa makes me wish that I still lived in San Diego so I could continue to be a regular here! I came here with my friend prior to her bachelorette party-- although the wait was long (which was on us, as we did not make a reservation ahead of time), they made up for it with the quality and speed of their customer service. The woman who did my pedicure was efficient, personable, and gave great advice when I asked for color recommendations. A few weeks later, I returned for my friend's wedding, and received what I would consider my favorite acrylic set so far-- and for a very affordable price. Not only was the shape perfect, but the acrylic nails, gel, and chrome powder lasted for well over a month. I could not be happier with my experience! I couldn't help but notice the regular customers coming in, who many of the staff knew by name. This is a sign of a business that not only takes care of their patrons but makes them feel a part of a shared space. Bravo! read more

I moved back to San Diego almost a year and a half ago and I haven't found a nail shop that I loved yet. Because of that I've been doing my own pedicures. I decided I wanted to treat myself and pay for it this time. I found this shop on yelp. & I immediately loved it. The shop is clean, spacious, and well designed. The nail techs are kind, patient, and attentive. They did not rush and took their time. My feet feel 1000% better. I'll definitely be back! read more

I was in the area and took a shot at a random nail place. I live in Chula Vista and definitely will take the trip back..very clean and I loved how my nails and toes came out. Vicky and Vivian were amazing..my wife who hasn't gotten her nails and toes done in a while loved Lina..We will definitely be going back read more

Came here on a whim. I wanted to get a spa pedicure with my mom. So I went on my handy dandy Yelp to look up new spots in the area. I called a few places but they didn't take walk-ins & were booked. This spot set up an appt for us within an hour from when I called? Never been to this location, it was a first for us. It's in the same shopping plaza as Tokyo Sushi. Went in & everything looked clean & luxurious. Everything looked upscale & up to date. Of course the prices are going to match the vibes. Lol. We got seated & was offered drinks. The ladies were nice & friendly. Interacted with my son & even let him dip his feet in the water. Anyone or any business that is kind/patient/interactive with my toddler child will always win brownie points!! Kind of on the expensive side. But definitely worth it. I will come back to this location & definitely recommend!! read more

I used to be a satisfied customer at UT Nails, but unfortunately, the quality of service has gone completely downhill. I booked their most expensive manicure and pedicure package before my wedding, expecting top-tier service, but what I got was rushed, careless, and disappointing. My cuticles weren't properly cleaned, the attention to detail was nonexistent, and the whole experience felt like they just wanted to get me in and out as quickly as possible. For the price I paid, I expected professionalism and care--but instead, it felt like an afterthought. Additionally, we were contacted afterward and offered a refund in exchange for taking down my original review. I agreed and removed it--but we never received the refund. This was supposed to be a special treat before one of the most important days of my life, and it ended up being a letdown. I won't be returning. read more

Great pedicures and conversation I've been coming here a couple years now, always reliable services and quality services. Parking is very easy, lighting is bright and it has a good ambiance. I highly recommend getting a pedicure here! My favorite is the deluxe. read more

There has never been a nail salon as professional and consistent at this place. I was going there for 6 years every 4 weeks until I decided to embrace my natural nails...for now. I used to go to Alex, the owner, for my acrylics and was happy with anyone for my pedi's. I couldn't recommend this place enough. I've honestly never had a bad experience there and if/when I decide to start getting my nails done again, this will be my #1 choice! read more

Absolutely loved it here! came saturday evening close to closing time and all 3 of my friends were able to be seated at the same time! The whole staff was EXTREMELY accommodating and friendly.

So, my last manicure left me looking off. Had powder dipped and they were thick and too long to make it last. Rolled in here on the 23rd and was taken care of LeeLee.

A good friend whose birthday is a couple of days before mine introduced me to UT Nails a few years ago and I have not found a better place to get a relaxing spa mani and pedi! I appreciate the comfortable massage chairs for pedicures, pleasant ambience (no fluorescent lighting or overpoweringly strong smell of nail products) and that there is plenty of spots in the parking lot even on a weekend. I have felt especially taken care of by a couple of the nail techs. Walk-ins are welcome, which is nice! I like that I can look for the perfect nail color by looking through the plethora of plastic nail swatches rather than indecisively staring at bottles of nail polish. Be sure to check in via Yelp for 10% off! read more

I paid $82 for an acrylic nail set that looks so basic. My nails are all different shapes and lengths. They charged me $10 for removal and $10 for chrome. My nails should look fantastic but instead I felt forced to pay a high fee for rushed nails. I am sad and will not be going back to this place. read more

I wanted to try a local place for my daughter. I called this place a day in advance to ask about the prices and then took my daughter in the next day. They were charging $90 for real basic job ( 55 base acrylics, 15 almond shape [10 over the phone], 10 for long, 5 for the heart. They were unapologetic with their lack of customer service and said they would give me $10 off to be $80, but still charged me $85 plus $2 CC fee pass on to the customer. If you look at the nails, they are not well shaped or smooth for an almond shape. They are lumpy. When they said $55 and UP I guess it allows them to open interpret that as they feel and charge extra for whatever they feel. The nails were not extra or that complicated to be charging $90 but since they are too hidden they have to make up for the lack of customers. . . Last time I go to a local place to support this small business. read more

Worse gel pedicure I have ever gotten and I have had too many to count. I am from the Bay Area but am visiting my daughter for parents' weekend at her college. My daughter has gone here before and wanted me to go with her. She liked her gel pedicure but her technician was different than mine. Mine did not do a good job and she only threw on a warm towel for a few seconds after she finished said she massaged my feet and legs. I was sitting next to my daughter and her technician was massaging her legs and my tech was already finished so I asked her why didn't I get that treatment and a massage? The tech lied and said she gave me a massage. The manager said she would check the cameras (as if i would not know if my legs and feet were massaged). She said it did not cover my area but would discount the pedicure the price of a massage. For her to question me, say she'd have to check the camera, and then not find anything but still no apology, and then the pedicure itself was and also so awful! Don't go here if you want a good pedicure - Terrible service and quality of work! Wouldn't have given it any stats but that wasn't an option. read more

I've been to this place twice . My first time was perhaps 6/7 years ago. I really needed back here by accident . Decided to give them a second try. Again, mediocre experienced .

I got my nails done there 6 or 7 times. Mani & pedicure. I always do American White powder dip on my natural nails however, this time one of the ladies decided to dip them in clear powder first. After two extra dips my nails turned out really thick & fake looking! Like im having acrylic nails on. I asked her to file them down and she did but, the color started to fade out! I asked her to redo them so we can rid of the main problem ( the clear layer of powder dip that has no benefits to me here at all but unnecessary thickness) she didn't understand what I meant, grabbed my nails filed them more and re-dipped them! Sometimes you can argue anymore! I decided to leave peacefully but will never go back there again! Attaching photos of my very thick 4 layers powder dipped nails. read more

It was my first time at this shop. Although my friend and I were seated quickly and got our pedicures done in a timely manner, I was not impressed that I paid $55 prior to tip, to have the gel on my toes chip the very next day.. not only that, the color on one side came off completely. The ladies were nice, but it's probably my first and last time there. read more

My husband and daughter go here every month for father/daughter time. As a licensed cosmetologist and former salon owner I am really particular about cleanliness and sanitation, especially at a nail salon. I popped in for a pedicure to check the place out before setting up an appointment for them. I was very impressed with the staff, layout, cleanliness, and high quality products. The prices are more than fair, Spring for the extras... get the scrub and callus remover, do all the things! These nail techs do not cut corners and you really get your money's worth. read more

I got a call from this place and they started yelling at me accusing me of yelling at them... Context to the story. I called to get a gel manicure and I think I may have gone to a different place. When I went to the different place my nails were so bad I called and asked for a refund. I did not yell, I simply stated that I was not satisfied and that if I could come show them and get a refund. I was already embarrassed for even having to ask for a refund so I made sure I was extra nice. This was my mistake for having a confusion with calling the wrong nail place. So I apologized for the confusion and she just kept yelling at me. But for a business to call me and yell at me when I didn't yell at them and it was a total misunderstanding is so beyond professional. I've been to this place quite a few times and they are okay. So if you wanna get your nails done there great, but be prepared to get yelled at read more

Went here as a last minute resort because my usual nail tech was booked, and did not regret it! They took such good care of me, nice women and quick! I got a gel pedicure and acrylic full set and they had me in and out in an hour! My nails came out exactly as the picture I showed them. I also had a really bad ingrown toenail & my nail tech dug it allll the way out (I'm sorry I didn't get her name). It was painful but only for a couple of minutes and now I have no pain and it's been a week. I am so grateful as I was walking around with pain for weeks. I will definitely be back. No infection either! Total was $132 for everything. read more

So happy to be here again and getting all pampered with my spa pedicure. I like the callus removal, mask and the best part of all --foot massage. The price is decent and I love that I can get my drink here, wine, tea or coffee. My girl, Lynn is super nice and professional. I don't think they offer the happy hour deal anymore (5% off) since I was just here this morning and I asked. Will be good if they can do that again, but anyway it's a nice salon. read more
