I absolutely love the experience and utopia nails for my first time I'm originally from Alabama when I came in I asked for the best because I'm picky. They gave me Henry and Jenny. I'm very pleased to call them. My new manicurist. Matter of fact, I'm at the door now walking in as I'm doing my review. This would be my second time visiting. We'll see how it goes lol read more

I hate to complain but come on. This is not okay. Now I know why this place has only 3 stars. I paid $72.10 plus $10 tip after a second nail tech came and fixed it. I don't know why I paid so much considering the outcome of the first gel set. I didn't want to question it and then get recorded on video, get called a Karen, and then lose my job. I paid for services and left. Just like everyone should. read more

Utopia Nail & Spa - Gel all over my cuticles. - Nail Salons Near Me - Gardena, California

I am sad write this review as I was ecstatic to finally find a great nail salon but this week has severely changed my outlook on this business and I unfortunately am now in the market for a new place to give my business too. To be more specific, I called and asked for my usual pedicure and nails with Timmy. I must have repeated his name at minimum 3 times. I go to my appointment and am sat with another technician. That was my first mistake, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and carried on with the appointment because I did not want to be "that guy" and complain. A few days go by, and I am noticing every time I go to wash my hair, its tough because my nails were not filed correctly and were on the thicker side resulting in every nails literally pulling strands of hair out. Did I notice this the day I left? No, simply because they were new and fresh - I did not notice they were laid thick up to cuticle. I called again to ask if Timmy could assist with filing the nails to make them last a bit longer as with his work I can usually go 3 - 4 weeks without returning because he is just that good at nails. I am told he is busy and is off Sunday to call back Monday. Monday, I called as soon as they open to ask if he is available and what time. They provided no parameters to his schedule, they simply said you pick a time. So we settled on 1pm and I took my lunch break to fix my nails. I arrived early to allow for adequate time, and am told from 12:50pm - 1:15pm, he's in back parking his car he will be right in. I finally left after spending nearly 30 minutes of lunch just waiting for his arrival. Now if he was unavailable or running late, they have customer profiles, they could have called before I drove myself 15 minutes to their location or even told me when I arrived. Nope they wasted my time, my lunch and my gas this day. Friday, against my better judgment I tried one more time to return on my lunch, 1pm. I arrive at 1pm on the dot, and much to my surprise, there is no Timmy in sight. I remind them, of the 1pm appt time and that I am on a time limit. He strolls in around 1:15pm and proceeds to talk to me as if I am a problem and an inconvenience. I asked if he could fix my existing nails, don't redo them, fix them just the cuticle parts so they can last longer. Honestly after what happened earlier in the week, I halfway expected them to fix them complimentary. He files them down, and essentially does a new set in silence. Silly me, I walked out of there late to return to work, a thumb nail filed to the left angle and completely bitter about this $30 "discounted" repair. Safe to say, this whole experience and their lack of customer service has changed my outlook and I will not be returning. read more

Nothing can improve here. Extremely nasty rude attitude . I am going to say that this is because I was a black male. Did not want to explain the what I was paying for and when I was hesitant began to grab and push my feet into the water. I even tried explaining that zi use to come here 10 years ago I even began recognizing some of these faces from 10 years ago. I even tried name dropping explaining that I knew the owner. Now I know why I left this place very rude and arrogant attitude this was not a pleasant experience at all. But I was warned prior to going there I stopped into an establishment in the area where they are and there own neighbors when I explained that I was coming to this place told me that Iit would not be a good experience I did not listen. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Wow! This place is amazing!! They did an amazing job on my mani and pedi! And so quick. I had an appointment at 2, my nails were finished by 2:40! Elana did a great job on my manicure, I brought in some reference and she executed it perfectly. The pedicure was so relaxing!! Kim did such a great job and gave a great foot massage. I will be coming back for sure! read more

Amazing job on my daughters nails and kind staff just did not understand their language.

My boyfriend and I came in to get a deluxe pedicure. Both of our technicians including the technician next to us were extremely rude and laughing at my boyfriend and I. My boyfriend's technician friction burnt his foot while polishing his nails and he audibly said "ow" in which she ignored him. Will not be back. Vibe was empty and negative. read more

I went to get a valentines fill in. I asked for stiletto black ombré. I did not like the way the lady kept shaping them to be more almond like and asked her about 4 times to make them more skinny and sharp...she really did not listen to what I continued to ask for but I trusted the process and I'm truly just disappointed. The shaping is fat and she just seemed to be in a rush so didn't take the time to fix the simple mistakes..my appointment was at 12pm I was there early but wasn't seated until way past that I was waiting for over an hour and a half..and didn't leave until about 2:45. I payed $72 when tbh for a fill this is worth like $50 if that. I'm trying to love them because it was such a process but it's just not what I asked for and with V day around the corner I'm just really upset :/ read more

I got a mani and pedicure and my polish on my French tip was started chipping 4 days later. Came back and wanted the color changed. They charged me $16 to remove my chipped polish and put new polish on. Ridiculous!! I'm disappointed in this customer service. Be careful and always ask the price before getting a service. However, they do a good job usually on my mani and pedicure. read more

Please Read !!! 1st time n last time!!! Do not go here!! They scammed you into making you pay for a higher service then requested and gave me a nail infection!! I came here Dec 11,I discovered my cuticle was cut and infected on New Year's Day!!! I called and ask for the owner they would not let me speak to her, i called on new years eve ! Today jan 4th i had my doctor appointment!! I came to the shop at 10 am I asked to speak to the owner. A lady stepped in for her. I asked the lady can I please have a copy of my receipt and an incident report the lady instructed me that the owner was not there. She was on vacation. I told the lady I do not want to cause any issues if she could please step outside to see about my concerns . The lady that helped me was the one who did my pedicure so I explained to her I cannot remember the person who did my manicure, but I believe my nails are infected, and I need a copy of my receipt and an incident report of this incident. I also was confused on the day I came , but i knew it was between tues or wed , The lady did not want to help me without being instructed from the owner. I told her that I was not going anywhere until I spoke to the owner so finally, she put her on the phone. The owner wanted me to settle ,of giving me a refund for my mani. I explained to her that I do not feel comfortable with that until I see a doctor because I'm going to the doctor at 12 to see what is going on, but I do believe that this is a fungus that's on my nails. The lady told me that that is fine if that's what I choose to do I can't do that, but she was adamant of me just receiving the full refund of the mani, I told her no , so i left and I went to the doctor the doctor told me that my cuticles was cut ,and of course of it being cut Cut open, I got dirt and debris in it and that's why it's infected, but initially came from my cuticles being cut during my service I remember telling the lady that did my nails that it burns so somewhere somehow she cut me and I didn't notice but I did tell her it's burning. It burned a lot. I told the lady OK since it's not a fungus I rather just give my full refund from everything which I spent $100, the issue is I spent $100 in cash another issue is I asked for a regular pedicure and a lady decided to do a different pedicure on me without my knowledge and charge me but since she did a good job on my feet, I didn't complain. I just paid and I tipped them .Since I paid in cash, She manipulated the situation and told me that I'm lying. I'm making this up, I never came to their shop so since I didn't have no actual proof that I came there because I didn't take any pictures and I don't have a receipt. She was able to manipulate the situation but God knows and she knows ,the worker knows that I'm not lying and I came there so I decided to call the police. The police told me that I could not make her provide me a receipt I have a incident report. I am working on camera footage to prove this situation, but please do not go here. They are evil. Everyone there was backing the owner up to say that I was making it up that I did not come there which is not true. I came there December 11 and got a mani and pedi , I was overcharged on something that I didn't request and got an infection. Please do not go here!!!!!!!!! read more

My boyfriend found this place on Google for me and I absolutely love the service! I always went for Acrylic but Tee insisted I try Gel X to stop damage to my nails. She guaranteed they'd last or I could come back and she'd fix them. Sure enough 3 weeks later, my nails were still on! She took her time and made sure I was happy with the results. Got a new set this past weekend. Definitely a regular now! read more

I think overall this place is okay. There were multiple returning clients that came in for their scheduled appoints while I was getting my nails done. That tells me that they found someone who works here that does quality work. The shop is nice, smells good, and has a very open and breezy airflow. I requested a gel manicure and received it on my natural nails. The nails on my left hand are much shorter than the ones on my right hand, noticeably so, after they were cut and shaped. My cuticles are not cleaned up in a way that doesn't disrupt the polish. My polish is patchy and not very even. I have dried polish on my cuticle skin, and this makes it look like I did my own nails- not a professional. It's so hard to tell someone face to face that their work isn't the best. I assume because everyone is a professional that they should know to clean up the polish on the skin to make the painted nails look nice. I'm disappointed because these nails were for my friends wedding. I think the pictures speak for themselves. This is one of the worst manicures I have ever gotten. read more

0 stars , dont get me wrong theres a handful of workers that shine in this dump. Trust when i say they are going to upsell and not ask you about what service youre getting, proceed to do what they like to sell you on a greater price , even after repeatedly saying what service youre here for. Its happened multiple times, i dont even know why im back. Probably out of convenience. And even after you say something theyre RUDE AS HELL read more

Crooked... cut too short... I did a pedicure and he was so aggressive with banging my feet back into the water. He half assed the massage because i didnt want to pay $10 extra for the full massage. Felt like he was almost upset that i didnt want to upgrade the pedicure package. Waited 35 min till someone helped me after sitting me on their massage chairs, when they made it seem like i would be served immediately. Took 1.5 hrs for this incomplete looking pedicure. Will most likely not come back here read more

Very low quality work. I am not at all impressed with my dip manicure or pedicure. The guy started on my pedi, got up went to go clean another chair, then came back to work on me with the same gloves! I couldn't believe it. There was no wait time and I see why. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I normally get Russian manis/pedis and will continue to do so. Pass this place up guys! read more

Utopia Nail & Spa - Horrible Dip Mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Gardena, California

Spa pedi. I understand that nail tech Wants to sell you more services but when they do it without you asking them or if they don't even check with you to confirm that you want that service it's very disappointing. It's also disappointing when the nail tech assumes that you're gonna give them a certain amount of tip. This was very disheartening because I usually tip my nail tech at least $10 even $20 when I see them but for them to assume that I'm always gonna tip them the same amount it is a disrespect to myself. Sadly, I don't think I'll ever return and I would never refer this place. If this is the way people are going to act. I don't expect them to be waiting on the hand and foot, but at least show some gratefulness. read more

Several things went wrong with this place: 1. The hours listed on yelp are not accurate. They close at 7pm, not 8pm 2. They ask you to use their app to make an appointment, which I did. If they close at 7pm, why is there an option for a 7pm appointment? 3. I had my 7pm appointment for a deluxe pedicure and an eyebrow wax. I go in and the lady doing my pedicure (no name tag or introduction) rushed through my pedicure. She cut the side of my toe and it bled a lot. The foot/leg scrub was literally applied and wiped off. She didn't do the paraffin wax that was part of the pedicure I selected, she shoved a nail file into the cut on my toe and I yelled out in pain and she laughed. She also used her nail (gross) as a tool to clean up the sides of my toes after she applied the polish. The 10 minute massage I was supposed to get lasted 30 seconds and I was rushed out the door. This was supposed to be a relaxing experience after having my second baby. I left frustrated and feeling robbed of my time and money. My toe is throbbing and now I have to keep an eye on it for an infection. read more

Despite the reviews I still gave this place a try and I was pleasantly surprised how clean it was - one of the most clean nail spas I've ever been to. Alina does both my pedicures and manicures and has done a consistently amazing job at both - my hands, nails and feet looking so fresh and so clean. This place earned 5 stars from me after frequent visits - this is my 8th time visiting and is now my new go to place for manicures and pedicures. read more

I asked for an itemized receipt and this is what they produce, My two teenage daughters came in for regular manicure and pedicure not Gel. My youngest daughter has a disability and doesn't really talk they were badgering my older daughter about their age clear to up charge! When I made the appointment I clearly stated Regular Polish and not Gel‼ They were very Rude Speaking Their Language When I asked them not to, unless they wanted me to use a Translator! They put flowers on my youngest daughter and she didn't ask for that and Stated Normal so they took upon themselves to put a damn 1990 flowers design on my child nails. And then say we can take it off. And had the nerve to lock the door while we were in there as if they were going to lock us in! I will no longer bring my business here. There was no type of add on's no tips no acrylic or anything like that. read more

JUST RUN NOW AND DON'T bother coming here ! Honestly after coming here for so long they don't deserve my money anymore. Jenny is bipolar and idk if it's her menopause acting up or what but she needs to get it together cause I ain't the one to begin with. Literally one day she'll be okay and enjoys doing services the next she's grumpy and hates her job and half aasses everything. They get mad when you complain about a nail not filed or painted correctly and then they proceed to talk bad in their language. Mind you I am paying for these services they are not free. I will no longer be coming here. On top of that tipping and still doing a bad job. Tipping is optional not mandatory. They are also racist and pick and choose who they wanna service . All of them are like that even the supervisor which is the sister of the owner. She always has this grumpy face like she hates her life. The owner who lives in Florida doesn't care. She chooses her employees over the customers who are the ones getting her bills paid. They know better to talk smack in their language than to say it in English. read more
