I've never disliked my nails as much as I did today! Don't waste your time and money! My daughter got hers long and I got mine short, we can't decide whose look worse! NEVER AGAIN! read more

Utopia Nails it's the place to go if you want your nails to last, not break and look good whole month! My technician guy always works on the left side (when you enter). Thank you "Triee"!

I really like Utopia Nails. No matter which tech you get, you always get beautiful nails! read more

Love this neighborhood nail place! They always do an excellent job! They take mostly walkins (so yes you might have to wait a bit, but they're fast and worth it) but they also take appointments. My schedule now revolves around my baby's napping schedule so i walked in today and waited about 20-30 mins. Then like 5 or 6 people walked in after me! Its definitely popular! I love the decor and feel of the place, it looks luxurious but with reasonable prices. Definitely coming back in a few weeks to get ready for our beach vacation! read more

Unsanitary conditions from what I witness when I regrettably visited this mediocre "nail salon". At least four of my fingers were cut at the fold and up to Matrix area ( past the cuticle )during a very uncomfortable cuticle removal part. I had to request for a first aid disinfectant because they could care less at the moment to treat my cuts . They refused to refund my money after that bloody mess and not to mention they didn't even paint my nails ( upon my request) . Once you have any open wound that is an open door to infections. Common courtesy would suggest to refund a customer their money and at the very least offer an apology instead of blaming me ! Listen, I've been to plenty of nail salons all over Chicago and neighboring suburbs and this by far has been the worst and traumatizing experience. Save yourself and go elsewhere read more

First time visit and I was pleasantly surprised, walk in on a Saturday afternoon and no waiting. My nail technician was Melvin whom I must say did a beautiful job on my ombre nail set and bling. Atmosphere was pleasant. I would recommend this location. read more

Waste of time and money. Asked for coffin nails and definitely not coffin, waste of my time. They were rushing trying to squeeze everyone and didn't focus, overall terrible service. Paid 50$ for trash. Better off going down the block to dollar general to be more satisfied. read more

It's so hard finding a nail shop with good service all around. I've been coming here for a little over a year and have had no complaints and I'm a very picky chic when it comes to my nails!!!!! Kathy is a beast on my hands and Irene always does a excellent job on my pedi, especially since I've been traumatized in the past at another shop that cut my toe nails too short and made me bleed. Irene takes her time and is so patient with me when she clips my toe nails. She's literally turned my pedi back around to a relaxing feeling. Best service and the customers are friendly too. read more

I got some super cute nails here! I don't know about everyone else but I got some nice customer service. Everything was pretty clean and a nice man attended me. Would totally come again! read more

One of my coworkers has been going here for years and told me I should try it because of their great prices and service, so I went in yesterday with my friend for a manipedi. It was really busy so I'm glad I made an appointment for us. They have SO many colors to choose from and everything is very clean. The massage chairs are wonderful! The staff is very nice. We had Tommy and he was great! He talked and joked with us about our ticklish feet and our nails look amazing! I definitely recommend this place and will be going back! read more

Utopia Nails Spa - Love my nails! Best manipedi I've had in awhile - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really unprofessional, i came in 5:45pm for a pedicure and the lady in front told me that she didn't have time because they only had 3 employees in that day. I don't understand how someone doesn't have time at 5:45 and they close at 8 o'clock. Will not be returning to this place. read more

I came as a first timer, an hour long drive on the bus. Called in as a last minute appointment on Friday. I asked for a regular acrylic full set, and the guy said he would accommodate me. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I got what I wanted. I had two nail stylists working on my hands. It felt more like I was being pampered, than paying for a service. Everything was gentle and detailed, from the drill to file the nail down, the manual filer, and even his hands! I wanted something subtle with a nice pop of color, and they definitely pulled through with both, and for an affordable price of $30. I would not hesitate to return and would recommend them to anyone. I can't thank them enough for going out of the way for me! I'll will definitely be back to Utopia for another session. read more

I feel like all the nail salons I have been to can be compared to drugs, the first hit is always the best and it is downhill from there. Whenever I go on vacation I must get a good Mani and pedi, so the first time I came here was for my vacation to Ireland. My pedicure and no chip was bomb, like flight attendants and random people were telling me how good my nails looked. Flash forward to 3 weeks when I get home for a new no chip and pedi and thing were not as great. My first issue is while the prices are up on the wall, they are not absolute. They won't disclose if a particular color or style cost more until AFTER the fact. So a $40 mani/pedi can turn into $50-60 easily. The second issue is that work quality varies, the same person did my pedi and mani the first time I was there. The next time I had a great mani and a barely decent pedi because each was done by a different person. My no chip looked really good but after about 5 days it literally started to peel off, like a band-aid because my nail bed still looked good under there. As far as my pedicure, I realized after I left they had switched my colors and the green had a more sparkling tint then I wanted and faded after only a few showers. I like to give a salon at least 3 tries but my last attempts have been unsuccessful because they like to keep you waiting. This place is pretty close to my home so it is a shame it isn't better. read more

This was my go to nail salon in the neighborhood but I'm afraid it won't be any longer. First of staff are not friendly, they seem very rushed and annoyed of whatever service you're getting done. They keep telling you about how they are late on their "appointments" do I need to make an appointment from now on or what!? Our wait time was 30 minutes which turned into 45 minutes. Total time in the salon was 1 hour and 30 minutes just for nail color change. Went in for nail color change and the person seemed disturbed by that. Not only did he rush through the process but he did a very messy job. I have bubbles on all my nails and some edges are not painted ( I could have done a better job myself at home.) Costumer service is bad and service overall is bad. If you complain about one thing, the employees argue with you. Don't think I'll be going back to Utopia for any type of service. read more

So BAD !! I went in they sat me down and from the start awful they where rushing my nails which I could tell because my shape was super off I asked for coffin tip and they all slated to the left on my right hand I asked him to fix my 3 fingers he did the bare minimum my nails where still slanted when he finished the side on my left nail the thumb was chipped and I asked for a butterfly and he messed up my sticker and didn't even fix it and yes I told him to. Not to mention the whole time he did my nails he was so aggressive it was hurting he was buffing so hard and cut me so many times i didn't feel it till I was at the store and grabbed hand sanitizer and it BURNED 0/10 recommend read more

I've been coming here for a few years now and I LOVE this place. I come every 2 weeks for a No Chip Manicure and Pedicure. I've been to plenty other places for a No Chip and it never lasted a week. I only see Cindy here and she does the most amazing job. Since she's being doing my No Chip I can go 2-3 weeks and it still looks new. She also does my eyebrows, perfect every time. The salon is beautiful. They also have the largest selection of No Chip colors that I've ever seen. I always have the hardest time picking what color I want. Great service all around. read more

Arrived there at 11 am and there was no waiting. They put my hands to soak for a "few minutes "which lasted one hour, since they ended up passing in front of me two new costumers who arrived for pedi and manicure. Of course at this point I was not their priority anymore. Ended walking away without having service done. Very disappointed and not coming back . Worst nail place in the area. read more

This was a nice place. I took my mom and my cousin here to celebrate my cousin's birthday. This place was packed, but with good reason as they do a great job. I would have given them a 5 star had they not forgotten we also wanted manicures with our pedicures. We also were there nearly 2 1/2 hrs just for our pedicures. Still they do a good job and I'll be going back and make sure they know I want both to be placed in the rotation. read more

I did not have an appointment, but they took care of me quickly. I was out in an hour, basic manicure and pedicure, nothing fancy. My girl was very pleasant and very good. I will definitely return my experience was great. read more

It's my first visit today. Getting a Mani pedi. I was greeted by a confused face that looked unsure of why I was there. She may have been the owner? The girl that did my mani/pedi tho was great. Nice, funny, did a great leg rub. 35$ combo. Located in plaza so has free parking!! Will return! Cash tip or need to tell them ahead of time how much you want added to card. read more

Service awesome! Facility clean, comfy Price is fantastic! Parking no fuss, theres a parking lot all that is missing is a coffee chain next to it & I'll be in heaven! 2015 horrible! What has happened to this once fantastic spot?! No chip CHIPPED with in 2 days, they fixed then the second day after same nail chipped! They said I was doing something, I WAS ON VACATION so no I wasn't even washing dishes! They didn't even bother to redo the nail, read more

Utopia Nails is the best spot I've visited thus far. They are so professional and everyone knows what they're doing as far as nails. The shaping, quality, and convenience is astounding. The open early which is a plus. I have tried so many other places but I'm here to stay at this one. Definitely recommend Kathy but they're all amazing at what they do! read more

They always do a great job on my nails, I've never had a bad experience here. There's this one worker who does really great waxing I just don't know her name unfortunately. read more

Worse experience ever.The man that took care of me missed alot of polish on my toe nails.I noticed it as I started to get my nails done. I was told by him and owner that it would be taken care of.So next he cuts my skin with clippers,and he asked me as it was bleeding ,does it hurt?I was asked do I want to shorten and I say no do I want to make even again I say no Next round or square I say square he filed my nails so short with sharp corners. Worse part of all I asked the man I spoke to at first if he was the owner,he was so concerned with his cell phone I had to repeat myself and ask him to come over to see all the mistakes.All he was,concerned about was getting me to stop talking.Someone else finished my service and never once did he ask me if I was ok not even as I paid did he acknowledge me. read more

They're so picking on who comes in! They choose only who they wanna service! Fucking bastards! Never again wasting time to sit for over an hr waiting to be served while other girls get taken in right away! Fuck yall read more

I went into this establishment for a no chip manicure and a pedicure. My feet literally sat in water for 30 minutes while they serviced everyone else. I never received service and they totally ignored me. I will never come back to this business again. read more

I have gone to Utopia a few times over the last couple months. I've been happy every time and my pink & whites and pedicures look great for three weeks easy. Very nice staff, massage chairs, and reasonable prices, and they always have good tv or movies on :) read more

Best nail salon EVER!! Ever since I was introduced to this place by my sister in law I have never gone to a different salon since. Everyone is extremely friendly and what I love about them best is that they take their time with every single client. I loved this place since day one, but what did it for me was the last time I went to them which was about a week ago. I was in a desperate need of getting my nails done as well as my toes. My best friend Monika and I went to the salon at 7:30 when they close at 8. I did not notice that they close so early until I came up to the door. They only had one client they were working on. Monika and I asked whether it was too late and they said "no" and welcomed us in with open arms. We both got our acrylic nails and toes done and they took their sweet time taking care of us. I felt horrible the whole time because they didn't close until 9 because of us. We kept apologizing and they wouldn't haven't because David (I'm guess he's the owner) said that they do it all the time and have no problem with it. They were so sweet and friendly and you literally feel like you are just hanging out with your friends while in there. The laughs never stop! lol LOVE THEM!!! I recommend them to EVERYONE! They take their time and are friendly. You can tell they care about their customers being happy with their work. read more

I just left the salon and felt the need to write this review. For a Saturday I know to expect it to be busy which it was, I walked and was greeted. I sat down for probably no more than 10 min- which I have no complaint on that. The only complaint I have was on the man who ended taking care of me, I came in for a no- chip manicure - he did not greet me or said anything to me.. Only to ask what color I wanted. He seemed to get pretty annoyed that the sensory from the UV light machine kept shutting off every time I moved my fingers -which only happen 3 times. He seemed to expect me to know that this machine had a sensor and I shouldn't move at all. He did raise his voice a little and told me to stop moving but when I returned the same attitude back he calmed down. He then in a more calmer tone told me it's a new uv light machine that it sensored not like the timed ones I'm use too but, that would have been nice if he would of mention in the beginning. The nails came out ok not great. He didn't even bother to ring me up to pay sent someone else.. For a $30 dollar job, I just gave him only $3 for a tip not the usual 20% I give when I received good service. Needless to say I won't return back- there are plenty of nail salon in the area with better service just thought I would try this place . read more

I called in an appointment for 2 pedicures. My boyfriend and I have been needing one baad. Let me say, this was the second chance I was giving them. I had made an appointment a couple months ago and I ended up leaving after a 40 min wait from my appointment. Surprisingly enough I walked out AGAIN after 30 minutes of no service. so. I conclude that it's just bad business. I don't know about their actual service so I gave them some stars. read more

Fantastic!! They have great service, very clean and comfortable, modern looking--most importantly, they do a great job!!!

I went here for the first time because my closer salon isn't open on Sundays. My experience was great! I got right in as a walk-in for a no chip mani and regular pedi. My tech was SUPER fast! I think I was in and out in an hour! The quality lasted for nearly 3wks, which is great. The price was reasonable as well. Although it's a bit further from my house, I will definitely be going back if I need something done on a Sunday. read more

The waits are long but Mimi never fails me!!! She my go to for pedi's and full-sets. Her shape, polish, and how long they last is amazing. Every other place I've tried I need a fill after a week. I live in Burbs now but travel bc a good nail tech is hard to find! read more

I went there to get a manicure pedicure and walked out without getting any services done. My mother and I were quickly escorted to the pedicure chairs and rushed to pick a color. They started on my mom right away. I sat there for about 30 mins before we asked when I would get started. They told me a few minutes, Another 15 mins went by and my mother was almost done so I just put my sandals on and waited for her. They did a HORRIBLE JOB and charged us $30 for a pedicure. The lady that did my moms pedicure did a really sloppy job! Red nail polish should not look botchy. I could of done a better job!!! They have a tv in the pedicure stations and the lady was to busy watching Casino to pay attention to what she was suppose to be doing.They didn't even apologize for the wait. THE WORSE PLACE EVER ********DON'T EVER GO THERE********** read more

Have been to many nail salons in the city and I always come back to this one. I was introduced to this salon by my cousin a couple of years ago. They are all very friendly and when I went in today while it was busy I didn't even wait much at all. I went with my mom and she is very picky about how mine and her nails come out. I went in about an hour to close and Mimi did an awesome job on me. She gave me a pedi and no chip mani and it came out looking flawless! She didn't rush with it at all and even stayed an extra 40 minutes after closing applying FOUR coats of no chip polish! Such a great service. Unfortunately I moved and live pretty far from here now but the commute will definitely be worth it! read more

Currently getting pedicure from Kathy and she is amazing! Takes her time and does a great job! Definitely coming back

Decided to try this place out since my usual location is packed everyday and there is a wait even if you make an appointment and I was tight on schedule. That said, they have no knowledge whatsoever on nail shape. And employees gossip in their own language probably talking trash. Don't think I will be returning. I rather wait an hour to get a mani. read more

I like this place because it has a private parking lot, service is usually quick but on weekends they can get backed up, the only concern I have is that some of the people who work here don't do a great job. I like to be able to walk I to a place and anyone I get do a good job which is not the case here. I had two different people, one for my pedicure and one for my manicure. When my pedicure was done I waited for 20mins for my manicure. I would only use this place as a back up. read more
