Excellent service. It was my first, I came with my mom. Tam made sure to let me know that I was getting a 5 star service. He's very gentle, takes his time, and funny. Great customer service. I'll be back. read more

I went to this place few days ago for the first time. I wanted to try a new place. I'm not happy with the manicurist. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but it doesn't matter. First of all she didn't know how to massage my arms, very rushed, and she yanked one of my fingers so hard that I screamed. I looked at my nails and none of them were evenly trimmed or filed, but worst of all, while trimming my cuticles, she jammed/stabbed the corner of my nail with the sharp side of the cuticle trimmer so hard that to this day it's hurting and throbbing. I keep putting Neosporin to avoid infection, and I put a bandage on to protect it. Another annoying thing is when they speak in their own language. I had a feeling they were talking about me and not in a good way, but what do I know, I don't understand them. That is VERY annoying and disrespectful to the customers and needs to stop. I'm sure there are lots of good mani/pedi technicians in that place, so I don't want put the good ones down, but I wonder if my manicurist even had a license to do the job. Anyway, I won't be going back to this place and certainly don't recommend it and I'm thinking of contacting the Board of Cosmetology to check their licenses. read more

Found this place after another nail place messed up my nail shape. Sherri was lovely. She fixed up the nail with the proper shape I requested and did an awesome gel mani. Will definitely return. read more

This salon litteraly SUCKS! Gave them a second chance since I had only been there twice the first time I went they did a great job, second time was horrible, thanks to Nina! (Read my previous review) and I just wanted to give them another try cus the first time they were great but Omg! They seriously suck! I went in for a pedicure and a full set , they did my pedicure very poorly! Then had me waiting for 30 minutes for someone to do my hands. I think Nina recognized me from last time and purposely ignored me. Either way don't go to this salon! They're 1. Rude 2. way over priced 3. Do a terrible job. This was how allll my toes looked. The technician walked away after finishing and asked me to wait for someone to do my hands . She left to do another pedicure didn't even give me a chance to tell her to fix my sh!t! Stay away!! read more

So I showed them a picture, and this was what I ended up with... it was my first time trying chrome, so I was trusting the process... I mean my nails are cute, but it's not what I asked for. And yes, I could have said something, but honestly the workers can be kinda intimidating. Feeling bummed and disappointed. read more

Honor appointment time, I had scheduled an appointment, the technician pushed my appointment back by 30 minutes. I was seated at the chair 15 minutes later another customer walked in. The technician turned the other client and proceeded with her manicure. I sat at the chair soaking my feet for the next 30 minutes, I told the technician had to go. Poor customer service. I would not recommend read more

My sister and I paid a total of $95 for a 20-30 min pedicure. It was half assed, and they didn't give a fuck about us. As soon as we walked in, they wanted to hurry up and get us back out. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT honestly... NEVER EVER AGAIN. EEVVVVEEERRR! Ps. The pedicure layer was soo thick, they peeled on their own (being gel) before the week was over. read more

Upsetting the my nails are chipping two days after. The lady who did them kept trying to convince me to get a different type of shape/dip nails. I refused we went back and forth for a while. I don't like going back and forth. Especially if I come here trying to unwind. I said no the first time . read more

Tam did an amazing job on my pedicure. 100% recommend coming here and working with Tam he is very nice!

Meh. The pedicures are fair to Midland. The chairs are nice. The place is clean. The people are not very happy to have you there. They are gray at the upsell. Of course that's no surprise. It's the definition of a three star nail salon. read more

Inconsistent, unreliable, unprofessional. I don't know which Yelper needs to hear this, but TIME is your most valuable asset. Save yours and go somewhere else. I have been a regular here since August of last year, every 3 weeks for a gel fill and pedicure. Unfortunately, due to how close it is to my house, I had learned to just suck up the minor inconveniences I would sometimes experience. Frosty staff mixed in with the friendly ones, the occasional terrible polish job on a pedicure, or bad match job on a nail repair, long waits even when you have an appointment. No big deal. However, I'm officially on the hunt for a new nail shop after today. Today I was turned away despite having a 5:30 appointment, an hour and a half before closing time, because no techs were available due to the new year. The weekend prior--turned away at 6pm because techs went home early because of the rain Another time, I booked a 7am appointment, the earliest they had available online, which they called to cancel (luckily, I'm realizing) because they weren't planning to open until 9am. Isolated, these would seem like one-offs, but there's clearly a pattern. I'm not sure why they find it acceptable to maintain inconsistent hours at the expense of their customers' time. It's unprofessional and points to poor management. For example, currently their Yelp page says they close at 8:00, but they actually close at 7:00. Again, not many things can get under my skin, but I am sensitive to having my time wasted. I'll update my review once I find a new spot! read more

Sherri did a fill for me on Wednesday and on Friday my mail came off. The fill job done for me was horrible and I will never come back for acrylic nails. I will continue to drive to the IE for nails.

I had the most wonderful experience with a pleasant nail artist named Tee. She was helpful in explaining the pricing by showing the printed price list and offering suggestions for added services. Tee'a attention to detail is greatly appreciated. Tee has gained a regular customer. I will only return for her services! read more

Lady who did my nails simply said "no" when I asked her if she could change it. She didn't even shape or file the nails. The front lady was actually very nice trying to get someone to change the nails but the lady who painted my nails wanted to insist on that's what I asked for. I just walked out. I wish they could have just done what I showed them. Never coming back. read more

Utopia nail and spa is a beautiful shop but more importantly I love how they do my nails and pay attention to the details that I asked them to. This place has switched many owners but this is the first time that I can say that I love this place! The new owner and staff are awesome! The new owner also totally beautified the inside and outside of this place. Sandy, Stella, and Jason all took care of me today. And I love how I could just walk in without an appointment, even though I try to get appointments for them. I would recommend this Nail Spa to everyone! read more

Sherri was my nail technician today and she did a wonderful job! She was incredibly accommodating for me and even went to find the perfect color when I couldn't find it in the samples. She ended up staying after they closed at 7p to finish up my appt. Would highly recommend Utopia! read more

Service is ok, however I will never return due to techs picking and choosing who they provide service for. I asked if someone could do my eyebrows and was told the technician wasn't available for the day. A few minutes later a tech proceeded to perform eyebrow service on someone else. read more

Do not come to this shop!!!! I should have read the reviews. I came here to get my acrylic nails removed. The "tech" pulled them off with an acrylic nail tip instead of filing them down and soaking in acetone. I could have pulled them off at home. What a joke!!!! read more

Similar to other reviews, they try to scam you to get more expensive treatments. I went for a pedicure and they offered a $55 and $60 option and I asked to see the menu and they acted confused. When I finally saw the menu it was too late as they were already doing the most expensive option. It's a nice and clean place but I really don't like that they didn't even show you a menu and just picked the most expensive one. read more

The mani was rushed and sloppy. The pedi was great! Tam did a great job and he was nice. Most likely won't be back. read more

Calling ahead and making appointments isn't a thing here. They say yes on the phone but then walk ins take priority. A couple people do a good job but time is valuable. In sure other single mothers can agree. I wouldn't of rushed out the door to be waiting 28 min plus. One star for lack of receptionist doing scheduling. The two extra stars were for the nail techs that do a good job. read more

I come in ask for a pedi they say 35$ then I'm done and it's 52$ lol girl took her time but would be nice if they told me gel is extra $17!!

I was scheduled for an appointment at 10:15 AM. I arrived at 10:15 on the nose only to be told that a person who had a 9:45 AM pedicure appointment and was still getting her nails done, took precedence over my arriving on time for my appointment. Very bad customer service. My time is just as important as anyone else's. They pawned me off to another technician. Of course they provided water that is now getting cold because the person that they pawned me off to is still doing her clients nails as well. Hoping that it works out OK but we'll see. For the prices that they charge customer service should be impeccable. Starting to think that when it comes to some nail salons and their customers time an appointment is more of a place holder than anything else. Good luck on making an appointment arriving on time for your appointment and getting your service started at the appointment arrival time. read more

One of the best pedicures I've had. Thank you, Tam! My manicure was also lovely thanks to Ana. I'll definitely be coming back.

I loved my nails which I had the acrylic so I looked amazing in my Boudoir Photoshoot a few weeks ago! They looked absolutely gorgeous and I don't usually do well with long nails but they gave that extra glamorous! The woman who did my nails was very detailed, made sure I was comfortable and got me in very quickly! She gave me special gems on two or my fingers one on each hand because it was my birthday! I was so flattered! I have to say my experience was magical! Plus I have a wheelchair and am still recovering from my acl knee surgery so it can be inconvenient if a place doesn't accommodate! This business definitely accommodates and they have a rewards program so I will definitely have to come back soon! I am in awe of my vibrant red long acrylic nails! I've even used them scratch my husband's back! He loved that! This business is close to me, very convenient and accommodating so I am confident in recommending them for the most Beautiful nails or any other service they have! They're just so so sweet and made my Birthday The Best!! Thank you for everything!! read more

I am so disappointed to give this place 1 star. I have been going here for over a year and have had some really wonderful manicures. Unfortunately my last few experiences have not been ideal. The gentleman who smells like cigarettes at the front is very messy and sloppy with his manicures, and it's just not acceptable. I wish I had taken pictures before I had them redone. I have gotten ombré manicures before here, and what he did was just a mess. *note to the business: if you cannot produce the manicure that is asked, it's better to just say it Not returning here. If you like regular gel or polish this is probably fine for you; look elsewhere if you're looking for ombré or any design read more

Been coming here for years. Some of their better nail tech have left but some good ones are still there. The nail salon is nice and clean. There's a huge selection of colors you can choose from, be it regular polish, gel or powder. It is not cheap btw, but... it is what it is. Parking is never a problem here. Pay cash if you can because there is a small premium if you pay with card. Always carry cash for tip. The best nail techs for acrylics and dipping powder are Sheri and Tina. For pedicure, there's quite a few that are good - Kim, Tam, Tamara and Mai. I enjoy a quiet service so I don't really care if they don't speak to me. I do kind of agree on some reviews about consistency. Some days are better than the other. I recommend making an appointment at a less busy time because when they're busy, they tend to get sloppy. But then, this doesn't always happen. If it does, you have to address it right there and then, since you're paying with your hard earned money. Don't wait til you get home and complain about it on Yelp. They can't fix the problem if you don't tell them. read more
