List Best 19 Nail Salons in Utica, NY

Bethany Arrington I popped in on these wonderful ladies (they are reservation only but like a dunce I didn’t check that) and not only did they fix my broken nail…they tried to do it for free! Angela also found pretty much the exact same color to match my current color even though I got my manicure out of town. Talk about impressive. Amazing color selection, kind technicians, and they know dip manicures. I am over the moon with my fix and will totally be back for my next manicure. 10/10 would recommend.

Jes Richie Love this nail salon. Nikki is amazing ! Great service and awesome color selection. They also offer facials!

Melissa DiPasqua A hidden gem!! Karen does a great job and great conversation! Looking forward to my next appointment thank you Karen

Jade Mcclenin my nails came out so perfect!! i have been everywhere for my nails but they never come out quite this good!!

Cassandra Lewis I got a Brazilian wax for the first time. The environment was very calming and clean. She communicated everything they were going to do. She made me feel very comfortable the entire time. The only negative was the cramped parking in the back of the house.

Farrah Abdelaal Every massage I have had here has been amazing. I have had 90 minute, 60 minute, deep tissue, and shiatsu. I have used the salt room, and float tank. The massage therapist Darlene is so talented, skilled, and an excellent masseuse.

Hannah Hejni Joseph gave me a great deep tissue massage, really helped my shoulder pain! Sarah is another great worker there I would recommend either of them for any services. Very personable and well skilled

Erica Zalatan I love this spa and wish I could go more frequently! All the staff and therapists are friendly, attentive to trouble areas and very accommodating. I always feel comfortable there. I love getting the hot stone massage. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Rebecca Derek always does an amazing job on my nails. He is extremely talented. Peter the owner is so nice and accommodating. The new place is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I love my nails that Derek did for me today.

Ashlee DAconto Love this place!! My best friend got married over the weekend and we had the bridal party come in to get our nails & toes done. The bride hadnt ever gotten her nails done before and they were so patient and kind with her! They were very accommodating for each of us and made sure all of us got the nails we wanted for the big day. I forget the name of the gentleman who did my nails but they came out so perfect!! 10/10 recommend to anyone!

Marissa Ramey The best place to get your nails and toes done! Everyone treats you amazingly and takes their time! Derek and Alex are awesome, their work is always great. The new place is beautiful and very welcoming. I bring all my friends here the only place I’ve gone that is quality and consistent!

Aishlelle ఌ I’ve been going to TQ Nails & Spa since earlier this year and it’s been a great place! the atmosphere is really good and the customer service is great. I always go to Derek for my nails and he always does quality and detailed nails, he’s really good at his job! -Aisha

Bianca Falange Made an appointment online- so easy! Sally was meticulous and took her time, but was quick/efficient. My nails look beautiful! My daughter also got her nails painted and Angel did great! She made her feel special and we will definitely be back!

Mary Hydar I have been here several times now and received manicures, pedicures, and brow waxing. They consistently do fantastic work and are so kind and welcoming. I find their pricing very fair for the quality of work received. Highly recommend!

Sierra Hawthorne This was my first time at Beauty Nails and Spa and I had a wonderful experience. I made a booking online and when I arrived checked in. The man at the desk confirmed what I was looking to get done and I was seen within one minute. Angel was kind, welcoming and thorough. She took time to discuss every detail of what I was looking to get done (gel removal and a French gel manicure). I can tell that Angel takes pride in her work and builds a loyal clientele. If I lived in the area, I’d be a regular!

Courtney South Emily is a very detailed and nice person. She did a great job with my first time there. I will be coming back! Her opinion on the color and nail shape was amazing!

Savanna Born I had Amy today and let me tell you she is AMAZING! I got a full acrylic set with some pretty intricate designs and she nailed them! She is super sweet and definitely knows what she’s doing. All of the women there are amazing though! I’ve never really had any issues with anyone that’s there currently! My mom also got her nails done (acrylic fill). We’ve always had positive experiences and have been going here consistently for a few years now! Would definitely recommend checking them out.

Sue Fellows This is a very private and professional place of business. Sandy gives her undivided attention during the manicure and is very friendly. My nails always look great!

Dave Jun They gave me “we don’t serve your kind “ vibes I don’t recommend anyone of color to visit this place

mary gorman-white Got a spray tan for my daughter wedding it came out lovely . Very clean & comfortable atmosphere.

Rosemary Scialdone Very happy with my pedicure and Sandy’s friendly and professional approach.

Linda Flihan Great atmosphere, comfortable rooms,superior nail technology.

Samantha Campbell I fell on ice and broke 3 nails and they helped me out and fixed me up .The nail tech thats usually on table #2 I believe did a great job so thank you !!

Alexis Hubbard Elisha has been doing a nails for a while now and she does them exactly how I want them everytime ! She’s very detailed in her work and takes her time to make sure it’s perfection. She never disappoints. Not only is she an amazing nail artist , she has a an amazing personality. This is by far the best salon around!!

Pink Love I have been coming here for years for pedicures. I decided to get nails done. Big mistake. Im not sure of the nail techs name she never told me and wasnt very friendly. I was quoted one price only to be told a completely different price when it was time to pay. I explained to the tech I didnt want my nails wide I wanted them to look natural. Two of the nails are crooked, some nails are longer than others, and some of them are extremely wide. Then for the nail tech and owner to stand around talking about me like I wasnt sitting right there. So needless to say no more nails for me from there. Extremely unhappy with my experience

Alina very happy with how my nails turned out! salon was clean and organized-we were able to get 2 walk ins with no wait time on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks so much again !

Jessica Louch Called on Tuesday after leaving a message Sunday about getting in on Tuesday for a pedicure and scheduled two pedicures for Friday instead because my call was not returned. My mother drove an hour to get the pedicure with me and this is not the address anymore. I called back to see where she was located now and was told that someone else had called and cancelled my pedicure for two. Different name for the appointment and wasn’t told where the new location was and was told she could not accommodate us either. I have gone here a few times with no issues but will not return after this.

Lily Sklar Such a lovely experience! Very courteous and well-priced. My nail tech truly took her time and went to great lengths to make sure my ombré gel nails turned out the way I wanted!

V V This salon is truly a hidden gem. I drive well over an hour just to get my nails done here. Both Yan and Nathalie do such incredible work, and always go out of their way to make each client feel very comfortable and relaxed. I had an extremely difficult time finding a salon that knew how to properly do ANC. Then I found Nails By Yan. Yan and Nathalie are extremely talented.Their ANC manicures always come out looking very natural (at the previous salons I visited, the ANC was always layered on too thick and never properly filed down).They also do an incredible job with pedicures. They always take their time and make sure that each client is happy with the results. And they always give out so much great (and free!) advice on the best way to take care of nails. I truly cannot say enough great things about this salon and I will never go anywhere else.

E B Easily the best manicure experience I’ve ever had, they were very respectful and professional and consistently checked to make sure I was happy with how it looked and that they were not hurting me. I even asked them to change the color after they did one nail and they were so understanding. My nails looked amazing! Such a good price too

Molly Duda This was one of the worst nail experiences Ive had. I came to get nails done for my wedding and walked out disappointed. Dont come here if you expect your nails to look flattering. I came there with a gel polish already on, but instead of soaking my nails off, or explaining what she was doing, she started picking the nails off with a cuticle trimmer leaving my nails peeled. Because this is what she did my nails were rough and bumpy and she told me that I cant put a light color on. I told her it was for my wedding and I only like light colors and she continually asked me if I like deep colors so she can cover up the mess she made. I then showed her the pictures of what I wanted and she responded "aye aye aye". It was a sheer nail with a pearl colored tip, she said she cant do anything like that. I then showed her a picture of a french with a few of the dot flowers and she asked if I told the person that I asked for a design because she can not do this (I did not but ive never seen a nail tech that cant do the dot flowers). I then showed her 2 more pictures and she could not do anything because of color or skill. I then settled for a french and it was uneven and the tip was thick so I just went with a pink nail because a french was apparently too complicated. On top of having no skill she made my fingers look short and stumpy with how she filed the nails down and my hair is getting caught under the gel to top everything off. Additionally, I was supposed to get a pedicure and I just left. Her question after all of this was "do you still want a pedicure." Obviously she didnt want to do it, and I wouldnt let her touch another nail again. I trusted all of the great reviews and regret this decision. Maybe the other nail tech is the one that gets the great reviews.

Laci Higgins I wrote a negative review back in April - Helen reached out to me to fix my nails. I declined since I was no longer in town. I came back today (9/19) and reached out to Helen. She did an amazing job and took her time to make sure my nails were perfect & that I was satisfied. I appreciate her reaching out to me & taking the time to do my nails. Thank you

Luvinda Cobey Hellen was truly AMAZING! I was having an issue with my current set from a different salon and was really distressed about them. Hellen took me in first thing the next morning after my call to the shop and I walked out loving my nails again. She took her time doing every step and they came out perfect! I’ll be another one of her regulars from now on to say the least!

Taylor Zumpano Amazing experience. I always feel relaxed getting my nails done here, and Helen kills it every time! I would highly recommend her. I love my nails!

Yazmin Rodriguez kathy did my nails & i am IN LOVE. she took her time, looks exactly like the inspiration picture I showed her and did such a great job. If you want to get high quality nails this is the place to go.

Mikey Lasso Been here many times, Billy is my usual guy, he is absolutely amazing. Ryan did mine today, stunning. Helen was very kind and helpful for my friend who has never gotten his nails done

Corese Stanley Only my second time booking and I wouldn’t go any where else. Service is amazing, the salon has such a welcoming atmosphere, I could talk to her for hours. My acrylic toe set lasted well over a month! She did such a great job no one could tell they were acrylic. Can’t wait to pick out the next set, she listens and executes so well!

Kimberly Leiter LOVE how Amanda does nails! She takes the time with you and learns what you like and of willing to try anything. Can’t wait for her to give me Buffalo Bills colors and designs during football season!!! I only wish I went sooner and could’ve had her get me geared up for my son’s last college hockey season. I don’t plan on going anywhere else!!! She listens to what you want! Not what she thinks you should get. And she’s willing to match toes!!!!!!!! ps. I wear mine short since I type all day.

kenzie pantola Extremely professional and truly builds meaningful relationships with their clientele. I have never had a bad experience, my nails always come out beautiful. I definitely recommend going!! Easy to make appts through booksy as well which is a major convenience! Booksy also gives a description of each service on the menu with the price of each service.

Kellie Kulesa I have been looking for a nail place for a couple years. That I am happy with I keep bouncing around from place to place not satisfied at all with any. Where else I have gone to in this area period this now place was recommended to me by co-workers, and Im absolutely in love with the way they do nails, They are so friendly and customer service is amazing. I would 100% recommend this place to anybody

Desiree Reader They were running a little behind but they apologized and more than made up for it with the quality of their work. The first nail salon Ive ever been to, and Ive been to lots, that actually took their time to make sure manicures and pedicures were of quality. Super friendly nail techs who talked and joked with you (this was my first time there) usually when I get my nails done at other places the techs ignore you to talk to their coworkers or look at their phones or rush through the service. Very clean environment and one of the lowest costing places Ive been to. Will definitely be back.

Karin Minicozzi I left a review this week and somehow it was not visible the most recent review of their business was 2 months ago very strange? So I will try again. I got gel dip nails and they were awful! Within 2 days I had 8 cracked nails. I’ve had my nails done every 3 weeks for years and rarely break a nail. Trying Luxe was a big mistake ! I went back the same week to let the guy that did my nails redeem himself by fixing them and they are worse than the first time. They are thick crooked and uneven. The salon was not very clean and the workers unprofessional. I’m shocked that they have any positive reviews seems sketchy.

Karen Phillips First time going to Luxe Nails. I went for a pedicure, and from the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be a good experience. I was greeted immediately by one of the staff members. She was super sweet, and fortunately for me I did not have to wait long, since I did not have an appointment. Everything about this visit was amazing, very attentive and meticulous. When Ive been other places, seems as though they rush you if you do not have an appointment, and then the pedicure was not even worth it. This was certainly not the case here. I will definitely be back, and would highly recommend. My only complaint is that you cant leave a tip when running a card. Make sure to have cash on hand. That is the only reason for 4 stars...

Amina Feratovic This place was highly recommended to me by another person I know. The nail salon is clean but honestly I love my nail tech the most. Her name is Tina and she has great customer service and is very nice. She also is very clean! I love that. I got gel nails on my toes and dip for almost $90 but I think it’s worth it because of the great end product.

Veronica Davis Once again Tina did her Thang with my real natural nails. This my 4th visit & my fingers are not straight. I love how she really takes her time. Good person to talk to also..

Jillian Gray I have been going to polished for years now. I’ve always had good reviews up until recently. Last month I got my nails done and the same day my nails started peeling and bubbling (I get full sets with tips acrylic and gel polish). I called, they offered to fix it but I unfortunately didn’t have the time and had to do it myself. AGAIN, I went in last night and woke up this morning to find my nail doing the SAME thing. When I was there the nail tech was rushing and didn’t even take me seriously when I asked him to even out my nails. They are bumpy and uneven and now bubbling and peeling. I’m very upset with this and have decided I won’t be returning. Careful when you go. Hopefully your nail tech is better than the 2 I went to. Also for reference, I work a desk job and I am NOT hard on my hands so this makes no sense.

Rakel Durant Haven’t gone to a different salon since trying this place a year ago. My go-to place! People are so friendly& happy to treat you! Prices are great for what you’re gonna get here. Best nail salon in the area by far!

Sophrona MacDonald This was hands down one of the best nail salons I have ever been to! they were super kind, accomadating, ect! I was beyond impressed with Polished and the job they did! Highly reccomend!

Jenna Landry Staff is very welcoming! Reccomend Levi if anyone is looking for a new stylist! Down to earth and funny! Excited to go back for my spring set✨

Rhiana Wojcik Very happy with my visit. I had a bad experience at another salon and was nervous about getting my nails done again but the crew here reassured me that they would make them look beautiful and would last longer than a few days like my previous set, over I was very happy with my service. Will definitely be coming back and definitely recommend this salon to others in the area.

Krista Darling I had a gel manicure and gel pedicure, this is my second time going and they’ve done a great both times. I love that they don’t use the dremel sander too much on my nails for my manicure, other mani-pedis I’ve had have been rushed and end up harming my nails in the long run. They take their time, which most places I used to go to, don’t. This place will be my go to nail spot from now on!

Skye Buffa I went with three people in my family. It was very clean and they had many colors. I got a regular polish manicure and pedicure done. It took around 1h 50m, which I was expecting longer, so I was pleasantly surprised. My nail tech was pretty nice. Although it felt a little socially awkward, Id go again.

Melissa Beyer Obernesser Only went because I had a gift card to use. Just got a gel color change on my fingernails and color change on my toes. They checked my toe polish before leaving to make sure it was dry, wore sandals home, got home and 3 toes on one foot were smudged. It was before closing and I had to get home so I didnt have time to go back. Left for vacation, 2 days after getting them done, two nails already chipped on the edge and on two, the polish is peeling up. Would not recommend, at least not if youre just going for a quick color change or gel polish.

Jennifer Delnero The owner is very attentive and my nails look great! The acrylic was not too chunky and the shape is just how I like it. Couldn’t decide on 1 color so decided to do 3 different ones and it’s so cute! Prices were fair. Will definitely be back again soon.

Jason Pittarelli I have been seeing Knott for almost 2 years now. She is AMAZING! I never have lifting and she always accommodates. Her color selection is HUGE! She offers multiple services for your nails and feet, a must go for sure. Her prices are compatible to other facilities if not better......Jody

eldina munjakovic It was a very pleasant experience. They’re all very kind and caring some of the best nails I’ve gotten she made sure many times that I liked them throughout the process I would highly recommend. I’m always greeted as soon as i walk in and I’ve never had to wait. I’ve never been disappointed with any service I’ve had done. Staff is all very friendly, salon is relaxed and very clean! Had my friends and family switch over as well. There are hundreds of colors to choose from!

Operation #FreePete I had my acrylic nails removed and had a French manicure on my actual nails. I went here earlier today, and this will be my go to nail place all the time. The cleanliness is immaculate. The professional is spot on. They even did my cuticles which make my nails look the way they are supposed to. The nail tools are brand spanking new such as cuticle clippers etc, which other places dont do as other places reuse the tools. I will be a forever customer here. Thank you Carl and Knott for such amazing nail work. I am the happiest Ive ever been with my nails because of both of you. Respectfully, Heather

Michelle Brooks Very clean. Nott is a sweetheart. Every time I come in to get my nails done, I’m always treated so well and given so many options to choose from. I love it here. I’ve been with Nott for 5+ years.

Nay_ Diorr So this is the nails i had got done, 1 i said square and they dnt even kno how ta do square i kept correcting them and they still didnt get it. 2 when i left my thumb nail was shorter than my other one and my bow kame off, i went back to get them redone, after that i go ta walmart and my nail falls off AFTER i went to them to fix my nails, regardless of anything my nails are not supposed ta fall off like that especially if my nails were fresh nd js got them done PROFESSIONALLY. I will be finding sumone else to do my nails. I didnt pay out my pocket to get nails that falls off the day i got em. Yu rlly dnt get wat ur asking for they js do they own thing frfr they dnt listen fr. Also when yu walk in nd uu see that guy sitting there he is rude when i was in the mist of telling him how i wanted it after he didnt get it right he js got up out the chair nd sum other man who didnt even work there sat down nd started doin it for me, i wouldnt be telling yu how ta do ya job if yu knew alr, my bf even had ta step in they cant do nothing right, this is not the first time neither but this is js my first time speaking out because im tired of it, wasting my money on nails that dnt even last A DAY.

Breona Sardina They are nice people always. I just feel like there kind of loosing their passion for their craft tbh. My nails are Not the best shaped and they dont really last for a while also I don’t like people telling me what I should do instead of what I want on or for my nails. But other then that it’s a cool place a good vibes.

Eldina Žalić Not very professional scheduling wise. Received a gel polish removal. The end result just looked OK, nails looked a little damaged, a little rough.

Zanya Ramos My Gel polish usually last up to 3 weeks. Good job, good price . They accept walkins .

Dinelia Medina I come in to get a refill done & the guy at the first counter tells me he can’t take anymore customers which is fine but I sat down & was made to believe that he would help. & it was my first time coming into this place. Steer clear if your new & getting your nails done for the first time. The way I was dismissed was not cool. That was why I gave it one star.

Heather Phillips Great service, relaxing location, and clean! I dont want to write this review... I dont want this hidden gem to be found. This place is absolutely the best place for manicures and pedicures. This is the absolute best location to get your nails done. I went from overgrown Barbie pink, to Halloween Black & Orange! I came in for a fill today. It took longer to pick the color for my nails, and then it did to get in. Kevin was amazing! I will only be seeing him from now on. He was precise and wanted them to look good.

Aleisha Haskins I went to this lovely place for the first time today and wow what a wonderful experience!! Everyone is so professional, friendly and talented! It’s an extremely clean, beautifully decorated and well managed salon. I immediately felt welcomed, relaxed and happier when walking in. I personally had the spa pedicure and gel manicure. I could not be more happy with the beautiful and wonderful work the technicians did (Ella and Selena). Needless to say I will definitely be going there from now on. One extremely happy customer!!

Pamela Jennings I’m not sure when a pedicure using gel polish became a “spa” pedicure but $70 for a 15 year old to go to a semi formal dance is ridiculous. Plus tip brings that to $85.

Mia Hilton My nails came out nice, but they were so pushy about what kind of polish I got to the point where I was stressed and spent more than I wanted even though I was super clear about what I wanted and how much I was willing to spend.

Lacey Hurwitz I went here for the first time today . Was greeted happily with no wait at 6pm which is usually peak time and got a gel Pedi. The service was great and finished by a complimentary massage. Price was 65 for spa gel Pedi which is average now a days. My nail tech was super nice and offered suggestions which I appreciated. I left with a coupon for next time that I will definitely be using to come back !

Leona Sherman Ive been going here ever since they opened. I see Jennifer. Shes great and I have no complaints at all with anyone there. I highly recommend Fashion Nails. Today I let Jenn come up with whatever she wanted to do with my nails for July 4th. I absolutely love them!!!

sosa Rai Not very pleased with how thin they are. They aren’t really good with medium- long nails.

corean green-sutton Tony did a good job but when filling my nail with the machine he came to close to my cuticles, skin which make my skin peel

Mary Vivenzo Lena & Kevin who run the salon are an absolute delight!! V owns the salon & he keeps it modern & very clean!! I go to Le & she is totally reliable & have been going to her for over 6 years now! I would NOT go anywhere else!! There prices are fair & they do amazing things to nails & toes here! We all need some pampering at Polished Nails!! You wont be sorry!!

Judy Kahler Very poor pedicure. Normally a regular pedicure will last 3 to 4 weeks. The evening I had my pedicure done I already had a chip out of the polish on one toe and polish was 1/4 gone on another nail. Also the edge of my big toe was scratchy like it had not been filed. I returned the next day. The nail tech fixed it and was very apologetic, that is the reason I am giving one star. She apologized to me several times. The two men at the counter never apologized when I walked in and told them about the problem. Here it is two days later and polish is off yet another nail!! Very disappointed with this pedicure and I would not recommend this nail salon.

Alivia Pritchard I personally wouldn’t come here again. I received what I asked for but after a week the gel started to change color. Almost as if it wasn’t fully cured which left me with a very unpleasant feeling. I’d hate for this to happen to someone else.

Veronica Colon Had some free time and didn’t think any places were open but sure enough nan was open so glad I came! They got me and my daughter right in! Greeted us right at door and took care of us right away! Best foot pedi I ever got even got another surprise when was letting my feet dry! She came again and did another short massage on back! I will absolutely come back again! Atmosphere so calm and relaxing very very nice people! Thank u

Dee Green I was charged $10 more than the listed price. I realized that wasnt the price on the menu and they gave me my money back. I wonder how many people theyve done this too that didnt notice or speak up.

Wren Howard One of the best salons in the area! Super calming environment and only do builder gel so if you like that this place is for you. Offered me a complimentary quick shoulder massage and a free travel sized hand cream after. Pricing is fair and my nails have stayed on for weeks. Absolutely recommend

Sarah Lynn Marion THEY DO NOT DO ACRYLIC FILLS. I called ahead and specifically asked for an acrylic fill. The employee on the phone said they could take me, so I drove over. I sat down and began the regular routine. When it came time to apply the new acrylic, my nail tech brought out Builder Gel. I said “oh no I want acrylic fill, not gel” and they told me that they only do gel fills, not acrylic. I ended up doing the gel because I was on a time crunch and had already been sitting there for 45 minutes. I don’t understand why they said they do acrylic fills over the phone when they do not do them. I would not have driven over. My mani is already lifting and chipping.

Fancy Fee Dorothy was such a wonderful individual and stylist. HIGHLY recommend

Renee RUFFRAGE Washed my hair then denied perming it. Complete waste of my time. Jennifer kept trying to cut my hair off because of the "dead ends" that I dont have. Refused to give me a perm even though thats why i made the appointment. Many other salons would have permed my hair. Over priced, 18$ for a wash and cut. I do not recommend going to the Nail and Hair Enterprise by Trina.

marybeth sbaraglia What a wonderful place to spend time the woman who did my hair Lori Monaco over the top I came from syracuse so did another family highly recommended
