Nail Salons 8 Reviews in Utica, NY (Part 2)

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.

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.

Divya Rao This is the first time I am rating something but my experience was horrible. Halfway through my appointment the lady mentions she doesn’t have the shade I want. She did a really bad job with the nails as they were very uneven and sloppy. I told her to immediately remove them and that’s when she accidentally cut my finger. The remnants of the fake nails are still on my finger nails as they weren’t properly removed. AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE.

Ruby Gonzalez This isnt the first time I get service here and I felt like something was missing. This time They didnt clean my nails properly. The older color mixed with the new color and it gave it the appearance of being dirty. They rushed me in & rushed me out. On the go and last minute plans made this a viable option. Be wary.

Debora Irizarry Its a good place to have your nails done but I always have mines done with Sonia, she is really good and always take her time doing them

C C Literally the only place i can get the best gel manicure. They file it down so nicely and take their time. They do nice eyebrows and dont charge extra for cuticles

Shantelle Difondi Wanted to try a new place and I will NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!!! Literally had to keep reshaping and repainting over and over again until I just said forget it. Then they were rushing my daughters nails, wouldn’t let them completely dry in the nail dryer and to top it off they forgot to put the top coat on each of our nails. I will never return

Allie Dier The nails came out okay but my finger would not stop bleeding for 2 hours straight even after putting napkins and bandits on my finger. The lady was cutting my cuticles and it was so painful and even hurt after.

Scout Ludwig Absolutely terrible. There is a guy there that wears glasses and is a bit bigger. He had absolutely no idea what he was doing. I honestly have no clue how he was hired in the first place be because it shocks me that he has a job doing this.i asked for a simple French tip but instead of white I asked for yellow due to the fact I have prom tomorrow. He began with drilling the skin around my nail instead of the nail. Then he proceeded to use the drill so far down on my nail beds that they’re so irritated. Then he would paint each nail one by one and put them into the led light for gel nails. I have never taken this long to get a gel manicure ever before. This appt took 2 hours. Then each of my nails are a different shape along with the lines of the French tip on them as well. I will not be going back ever again. So as I’m writing this, take into consideration when they ask you who you want to do your nails when you get there and make sure they don’t stick you with this guy so you don’t have to go through the same thing.

josie barone The guy doing my nails did not properly prepare them and they’re immediately began to crack within 10 days, acrylics usually last me a whole month. I was also charged 80 dollars but he never did the design I asked and left bubbles in my nails because he didn’t cure them right. not worth the price

David Peroni For the male who needs a pedicure along with a foot, ankle and leg massage you can’t beat Viola Nails. I’ve been going to Gerri for over 10 years and she is so good, and very thorough. Try it, you love it. Great atmosphere too. I fall right to sleep.

Aurora Deliberto Only giving one star as zero is not an option. My appointment was at 10:30, I arrived 5 minutes early. I waited until 11 before I was seated in a chair in which I waited another 10 minutes before someone came over to me. Then, the woman who did my nails was not personable, I tried to make small talk but was greeted with barely any in return but instead talked to her coworkers in another language the entire time. I kept saying oww while she was doing my nails as the electric sander kept getting very hot on my nails. She cut my knuckle yes my knuckle as well as the sides of two of my cuticles. My nails were all different shapes and sizes. The shape was not what i asked for the length is not what i asked for (although all were different lengths in the end anyways). The polish was filed so much you can see my actual nail underneath the tops of almost every nail. One nail is very crooked. And to top it off within one day the matte top coat peeled off 3 of my nails in one sheet. I understand matte tends to peel however i get matte coat almost every month and they never peel until maybe week 2-3 at the earliest, sometimes theres no peel at all. I did not leave my 10:30am appointment until after 1:30pm. When asked to cash out i had a card they kept trying to hound me to please use cash which i did not have at the time, i was told to go to an atm if possible. The manager kim came over and i expressed how upset i was almost in tears at how badly my nails look she proceeded to do her best to try and fix them by filing them even more. I paid $106 for nails that i am already getting redone asap because how bad they look and sadly have to pay for again. Unfortunately i have to wait a little while with terrible nails because my actual nails are in physical pain. I do not know what Then did to my nails but apparently your finger tips and nails can actually be in pain from getting your nails done. No discount was offered no free charge was offered or a discount on my next time in (although i will never ever go back and have told everyone i know never to go). All i got was a “we are sorry your nails dont look the best but services were rendered which will need to be paid for” Truly astonished at how this place is open providing bad service and poor customer service as well. I enjoy getting my nails done every month, its the only thing i do for myself, its my relaxation me time. I normally never would have gone here as I have my usual go to but she was booked. I wish i had just waited another few weeks as even my super old nails looked better than this.

Michaela Januchowski It was quick, and the woman there is so nice! I would definitely refer someone there. My nails came out so nice, and the fills came out even better.

Mariluz Valdivia The first time i went there they did a good job for the price they charged. Then i went back but was bad and embarrassing how ugly my nails turned out. I decided to give them another chance but the quality was so poor and every time theyd increase the price. My friends have also had bad experiences with them: bumpy manicures, and sloppy "designs". Save your money and time.

Katlain Parker I love these guys my mom has been going for years and then I started going on my own they’ve always done a good job do exactly what I want and can admit when they can’t do something after they’ve tried they’re very kind people husband and wife and I really haven’t met anyone else who can meet my expectations for the designs I ask for and they’ve even done some pedicures for my father

Monica Best Terrible quality. Nails cracked and broke within days and I’ve been getting my nails done at another place for over 5 years and that’s never happened! They did repair at no charge but it was inconvenient to have to keep going back!

Kate So I asked for a manicure with oval nails. She filed my nails and painted them every nail is a different shape. She didnt cut my cuticles or use lotion or anything. Then I had to dry my nails with the mini fan at her station because the dryer was broken. I have been getting manicures for years with this store and I never had a problem till now.

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.

Tamara Marchione Amazing job on my daughters nails. She is 13 it was her first time getting nails. She cant wait to go back. Taker her time very respectgul

Dominga Torres She takes good care of me and my nails any issues she takes right care of it!! No questions asked. I took my nieces there and she was amazing with them, they loved her and they keep asking to go back to see Ms Karen!!

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!!

DH Z Just noticed theyre under new management now and offering a 50% off for their reopening! Met some very nice and skilled people over there, the whole store is so clean and neat, plus the fabulous smell and excellent work, omg it makes going there and get my nails done such a no brainer!

Lisa Dymond We had an amazing time with Jocelyn and her team. 8 moms and we all got beautiful mania and pedis. This is the best place in Utica. Highly recommend .

Deljean Lara My experience was awesome here.. Nicole did an excellent job with my nails.. the place was clean and the atmosphere was welcoming.. I will definitely be coming back!!!
