The service was great. They had a good price range for their pedicures and their designs were economical and I really like their work. The ladies were super nice and the vibe was super chill, and I got a hot tea as well read more

I wanted "hard gel" and they gave me regular gel and messed up the color so bad I couldn't believe it. I asked her to change the color before she actually started doing my nails and she was visibly annoyed. It hurt really bad the whole time I kept flinching and she didn't make it hurt any less after I asked multiple times. My nails overall look really bad and are not what I asked for at all. I am not coming back or recommending them. And now my nails are hideous and I'm embarrassed to use my hands. read more

I took my daughters to get 1 full set (gel), one basic pedicure (gel), and one manicure (kids/gel). I had my baby with me so i sat in the car after giving them the instructions of what i agreed to paying for. I walked in after some time and i see the little one getting a pedicure (gel)... I didn't ask for!!! to make matters worse the price was $196.00 total!!! Then they filed my daughter's toes until it bled and offered her a lollipop and 50% off her $47.00 pedicure...Never again. Your business took advantage of me after I left and asked my child if she wanted a pedicure... I was literally right outside and if you had questions as the "owner/manager" you've could've asked my oldest 17 year old that was there, and not the 6 year old. We will never be back. Subpar work done that is already peeling... This place must be under new management because I've never experienced this kind of customer service, let alone being taken advantage of for a "kids" gel basic pedicure i didn't ask for. $47 for a gel mani for kids and $47 for gel pedicure for kids... just in case anyone wants to pay $94 dollars for their 6 year old mani/pedi. They also do not use SPF for UV safety. Vibe was hurry up and pay...FYSA. read more

This is my new favorite nail salon to go to! First time client here. I had a last minute pedicure done today and decided to stop by in here. First off plenty of parking in front of the business. 10/10. I walked in and was instantly helped and seated. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The environment is so clean and relaxing. The massage chair is excellent. I am in love and my pedicure came out beautifully. I will be coming back. Thank you UT Nails & Spa for your business. I enjoyed my stay, till next time. read more

Amazing! My second time here in the past few months. They have new spa seats which are sooooooo nice! They have a cover table top thingy while you seat so you can rest more comfortable or put your phone on it easier. AND the seats warm!!!! I'm using it now and am in HEAVEN!! There wasn't much wait for my walk in today and everyone is so nice! Parking is also plentiful and prices are pretty good! Might be my new favorite salon! And you get a free drink too. Hannah is doing my pedicure now and then will remove my acrylics. She's awesome! The best foot massage I've ever had during a pedicure. read more

UT Nails and Spa makes me wish that I still lived in San Diego so I could continue to be a regular here! I came here with my friend prior to her bachelorette party-- although the wait was long (which was on us, as we did not make a reservation ahead of time), they made up for it with the quality and speed of their customer service. The woman who did my pedicure was efficient, personable, and gave great advice when I asked for color recommendations. A few weeks later, I returned for my friend's wedding, and received what I would consider my favorite acrylic set so far-- and for a very affordable price. Not only was the shape perfect, but the acrylic nails, gel, and chrome powder lasted for well over a month. I could not be happier with my experience! I couldn't help but notice the regular customers coming in, who many of the staff knew by name. This is a sign of a business that not only takes care of their patrons but makes them feel a part of a shared space. Bravo! read more

been my go to nail salon for pedicures since 2024 ! I usually come in as a walk in and get taken right away and opt for a regular gel pedicure . I've gotten a handful for nail tech but unfortunately never got any of their names . The salon itself is pretty spacious and clean ! Each time I'm left satisfied and relaxed n never had a moment where I felt they trimming my nails too short or scrubbing too hard . Although I will say I always ask for a milky white color , and with that color it often requires multiple top coats . But on multiple occurrences I've had the nail tech visibly get annoyed / try to get me to do a more harsh white , which can get kind of frustrating. Some nail techs are more willing to go that extra step , which I do appreciate. Other than that , I'll be a returning customer . read more

So far so good. It's nice In here. They also seen me on my phone and give me a letting desk/table that you place on your chair to relax my arms. Which is pretty neat! The quality of their massage chairs and wonderful. read more

I moved back to San Diego almost a year and a half ago and I haven't found a nail shop that I loved yet. Because of that I've been doing my own pedicures. I decided I wanted to treat myself and pay for it this time. I found this shop on yelp. & I immediately loved it. The shop is clean, spacious, and well designed. The nail techs are kind, patient, and attentive. They did not rush and took their time. My feet feel 1000% better. I'll definitely be back! read more

love this place! nails are always the best when I come here and the environment is great

I have been here many times for a pedicure and they did a great job, today I came in for a basic manicure and it was not the same experience. My manicure was horrible. It was a basic manicure with clear polish. My nails are uneven and rough, they don't even have a shine. She only applied one coat. Unfortunately I will not be coming back to this establishment. I also felt that the station was not very clean in sanitary. I found another place that does an amazing job for basic manicure for only $15 so that is definitely going to be my go to. read more

The first thing I noticed as a first time client was the pricing. There were no clear prices posted, and it felt like the cost was being decided as they went. Salons should have visible pricing so customers know what they're paying before the service begins. If the salon wasn't able to do the service I was asking for, I wish someone had simply told me. I would have completely understood and gone somewhere else. I would rather hear, "We don't offer that," than pay for something that wasn't what I wanted. Instead, I left feeling like getting my payment was more important than making sure I had a positive experience. To me, self care isn't just about getting my nails done, it's about feeling comfortable, listened to, and leaving happy with the service. Unfortunately, that wasn't how I felt when I walked out. My experience didn't improve from there. I left feeling uncomfortable and disappointed. I asked for an acrylic overlay on my natural toenails, but a fake nail was put on my big toe without asking me first. The acrylic was also much thicker than I wanted, making my toenails look bulky instead of natural. During the service, my index finger and two of my toes were cut and started bleeding. What upset me the most was the customer service. The woman doing nails on the left side of the salon was rude and made me feel uncomfortable for simply explaining what I wanted. I didn't feel welcomed or listened to. I also noticed other customers were greeted much more warmly, which made me feel even more uncomfortable. I paid $135 for my hands and feet, and for that price I expected better communication and more RESPECT.I hope the salon improves its customer service, posts clear pricing, and pays closer attention to each client's requests. read more

UT is nice, kept well and so friendly! I like how they'll check if we like what we're getting done in service or designs etc! And as a deaf customer they're nice to repeat if i didn't catch what was said :,) read more

Came here on a whim. I wanted to get a spa pedicure with my mom. So I went on my handy dandy Yelp to look up new spots in the area. I called a few places but they didn't take walk-ins & were booked. This spot set up an appt for us within an hour from when I called? Never been to this location, it was a first for us. It's in the same shopping plaza as Tokyo Sushi. Went in & everything looked clean & luxurious. Everything looked upscale & up to date. Of course the prices are going to match the vibes. Lol. We got seated & was offered drinks. The ladies were nice & friendly. Interacted with my son & even let him dip his feet in the water. Anyone or any business that is kind/patient/interactive with my toddler child will always win brownie points!! Kind of on the expensive side. But definitely worth it. I will come back to this location & definitely recommend!! read more

I used to be a satisfied customer at UT Nails, but unfortunately, the quality of service has gone completely downhill. I booked their most expensive manicure and pedicure package before my wedding, expecting top-tier service, but what I got was rushed, careless, and disappointing. My cuticles weren't properly cleaned, the attention to detail was nonexistent, and the whole experience felt like they just wanted to get me in and out as quickly as possible. For the price I paid, I expected professionalism and care--but instead, it felt like an afterthought. Additionally, we were contacted afterward and offered a refund in exchange for taking down my original review. I agreed and removed it--but we never received the refund. This was supposed to be a special treat before one of the most important days of my life, and it ended up being a letdown. I won't be returning. read more

There has never been a nail salon as professional and consistent at this place. I was going there for 6 years every 4 weeks until I decided to embrace my natural nails...for now. I used to go to Alex, the owner, for my acrylics and was happy with anyone for my pedi's. I couldn't recommend this place enough. I've honestly never had a bad experience there and if/when I decide to start getting my nails done again, this will be my #1 choice! read more

A good friend whose birthday is a couple of days before mine introduced me to UT Nails a few years ago and I have not found a better place to get a relaxing spa mani and pedi! I appreciate the comfortable massage chairs for pedicures, pleasant ambience (no fluorescent lighting or overpoweringly strong smell of nail products) and that there is plenty of spots in the parking lot even on a weekend. I have felt especially taken care of by a couple of the nail techs. Walk-ins are welcome, which is nice! I like that I can look for the perfect nail color by looking through the plethora of plastic nail swatches rather than indecisively staring at bottles of nail polish. Be sure to check in via Yelp for 10% off! read more

I wanted to try a local place for my daughter. I called this place a day in advance to ask about the prices and then took my daughter in the next day. They were charging $90 for real basic job ( 55 base acrylics, 15 almond shape [10 over the phone], 10 for long, 5 for the heart. They were unapologetic with their lack of customer service and said they would give me $10 off to be $80, but still charged me $85 plus $2 CC fee pass on to the customer. If you look at the nails, they are not well shaped or smooth for an almond shape. They are lumpy. When they said $55 and UP I guess it allows them to open interpret that as they feel and charge extra for whatever they feel. The nails were not extra or that complicated to be charging $90 but since they are too hidden they have to make up for the lack of customers. . . Last time I go to a local place to support this small business. read more

I got my nails done there 6 or 7 times. Mani & pedicure. I always do American White powder dip on my natural nails however, this time one of the ladies decided to dip them in clear powder first. After two extra dips my nails turned out really thick & fake looking! Like im having acrylic nails on. I asked her to file them down and she did but, the color started to fade out! I asked her to redo them so we can rid of the main problem ( the clear layer of powder dip that has no benefits to me here at all but unnecessary thickness) she didn't understand what I meant, grabbed my nails filed them more and re-dipped them! Sometimes you can argue anymore! I decided to leave peacefully but will never go back there again! Attaching photos of my very thick 4 layers powder dipped nails. read more

It was my first time at this shop. Although my friend and I were seated quickly and got our pedicures done in a timely manner, I was not impressed that I paid $55 prior to tip, to have the gel on my toes chip the very next day.. not only that, the color on one side came off completely. The ladies were nice, but it's probably my first and last time there. read more
