I've been going to Sophia for over 3 years now! I love that she takes her time with both hard gel refills and gel pedicures. I go every 4 weeks for and not once has my nails ever broken in between refills. She's patient and is always spot on with colors/pictures you show her. Scheduling appts are also pretty easy (I just send her a text). I get so many compliments on my nails and I wouldn't go anywhere else, especially since it took forever to find a great nail tech here in Boca. read more

Utopia Nails Spa - Fresh set - Nail Salons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

If you like intricate or glam sets, this is not the place to go!!!! If you like fast service, this is not the place to go!!! . They do great the first few times but quality of the detail and designs goes down significantly once they see you as a regular. The only reason I went with this place was the photos on yelp showed they could more than execute my preferred style. I have come here and paid $200 every 2weeks for the last 6 months, 2ed month in I asked about a soak off and a fresh set instead of a refill I was told I didn't need it So I've been getting refills for five months straight which I know is not healthy, all because they do not want to give an extra 30 minutes to do a new set. The time management is bad as well and they will tell you they CANT do it if they dont WANT to & It outrageously took OVER 3hrs for a refill, design change and pedicure EVERY TIME. Like I said, the first times were an exact match to the pictures so I didn't even care about leaving with dead skin still on my toes the bottom of my feet!! (Which I did every time) I complained about the dead skin, but I learned my lesson after the second appointment about complaining or Comparing the detail to the picture I provided, as it would take even longer to finnish. My last set looks atrocious yet I did not complain instead I tried to book another appointment as I always do at the end of my appointment for two weeks out And was told that they will text me appointment times for me to choose from. After receiving no text, 5 days later I asked about setting an appointment, they responded with how they " no longer wanted to book future nail appointments with me because the appointment causes a lot of stress and they don't feel as though they're a good fit for the level of detail and attention I was looking for " I showed a picture of exactly what I wanted every time but I was made to pick colors and charms AS IF they're NOT on the picture and AS IF I'm the nail tech & know exactly what goes into recreating the look. As a result of that, they would sometimes look different than the picture or we would just end up doing something completely different. ‼ I feel that its not fair to me to take the blame after you stress yourself by trying to make me do your job for you and working so slowly. ‼ This last time I told her, I wanted cat eyes on my toes and she jokingly, then seriously, told me she didn't wanna do that and I guess she really meant it &was mad about having to do it & I guess my consistency and steady $20 tip wasn't appreciated. I was always respectful, even if I didn't like the work. Sophia, if this is how you treat your loyal clients & I can imagine how you treat family you can't tell to go away when u don't want to do for them. I would just love to know how was it so stressful to re-create a picture??? was it stress or just laziness ?? And I would love to know why you couldn't express this to me instead of rushing me out of your store when I was trying to create another appointment. If i hadn't reached out it seems as though you weren't even going to let me know so I could make arrangements with a new salon. ALSO I would love to know why it takes you and Alex SO long to do one set?? my first set there was with Alex and I got a simple French. I was there for 2 1/2 hours. A sidenote, you probably wouldn't feel so much bad energy and stress if you fired Mimi. She's useless, mean and always wears the same clothes. read more

I've been going to Sophia for my nails and I couldn't be happier! She's incredibly talented, especially when it comes to designs. Every idea I bring in, she nails it (literally)! She's super friendly and makes the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. The customer service is always great. They're a smaller business, so sometimes they might not answer right away, but they're always responsive to texts and make sure to follow up. Highly recommend if you want beautiful nails and a welcoming, friendly environment! read more

TLDR: Terrible service. Argumentative staff that do take customers wants/needs into consideration. Visited my family in Boca Raton and my mother and I decided to get a mani/pedi. My nail tech was Jonathan and I wanted an acrylic full set with gel polish. I showed a picture of exactly how I wanted my nails shaped - ballerina. He did the complete opposite! When I voiced my concerns, he didn't want to reshape them and said they look like the picture. Any blind person can see there is a huge DIFFERENCE between the picture and my nails. Moreover, I asked for a specific color (gave the # of the polish). I noticed the color was lighter than the nail sample. I asked him if it was the correct color and he said yes, it's just gel is lighter. When he was done painting my nails, I checked the color # and it was INCORRECT. Every time I voiced a complaint or concern about my nails, I was met with aggressiveness and rudeness. I have never experienced EVER. I was so disappointed and angry, I didn't bother with a pedicure. Worst service. Worst nail tech. Please do not come here and spend your money. read more

Utopia Nails Spa - What I asked for. - Nail Salons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I visited Utopia Nails for a simple French manicure and left extremely disappointed. I showed the nail tech (VY) a clear reference photo, but my nails turned out nothing like the image I provided. Here are the major issues I encountered: 1. Poor Listening and Execution: Despite pointing out concerns during the process, my corrections were ignored. Each nail came out uneven and crooked, with no resemblance to the photo I provided. 2. Messy Work: Acrylic residue was left all over my fingers, which is highly unprofessional and unsanitary. 3. Lack of Hygiene: The tools and workspace did not appear clean, and the leftover acrylic further emphasized his disregard for cleanliness. 4. Shortened Nails Without Consent: The nail tech made my nails significantly shorter than requested and refused to fix them. 5. Excessively Thick Acrylic: The acrylic application was so thick and uneven that my nails looked bulky and unnatural. 6. Time Inefficiency: This "simple" French manicure took an outrageous 4.5 hours to complete, which is unacceptable for such a basic design. I've attached photos for reference--the first shows what I requested, and the others show the actual results. I won't be returning to Utopia Nails. I hope this review helps others avoid the same experience!!! Wish I could give this experience 0 stars! read more

I've been going to Utopia for almost 2 years, and I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! Sophia is amazing, she does the most amazing designs on my nails, and my pedicures are perfection. I've also had my nails done by Trish, who is also wonderful, as well as Dan! Basically every person who has done my nails, I've loved Jordana is super friendly and helpful, she always makes sure I have my appointments squared away, and I absolutely love coming here. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. read more

literally sliced the side of my thumb was very unsanitary as they residue on my fingers I expected more for like $75 but instead i got crooked nails and cuts from him rushing to finish. unprofessional behavior. read more

Update update. I'm only giving it three stars because my nails came out much better than the last time and I'm also have a low star rating because I went to go and get my nails redone because it was messed up from the first nail tech and they still charged me $20 for somebody mess up not to mention I also had an original nail look, and the first tech could not do it so I told her to do plain white nails and she even messed that up and she had a very nonchalant attitude so the vibe wasn't good. She filed my nails down so bad to my skin started bleeding and even with the nail techs she to be easy on my pinkies I paid money for this. I will never come back here mind you I paid and I tipped . Third fourth times the charm, please look at both pictures and see the mess up from the nail tech and the other picture which shows they can do a really good job. I do not recommend this place. The nail tech tried to upsell and do other things and not listen to the customer. read more

I moved down to Florida about five years ago and was looking for a nail salon. I came across Dan on Instagram and said to myself "wow I need To try this guy out" . I was able to get an appointment with him and he gave me something better than what I showed him. I have been going to Dan now for about 4 years now and I swear by utopia. My girl Vicky is amazing with the way she does brows and lashes and making you feel sexy! Alex is O M G Excellent in heaven amazing massages during pedicures as well as a beautiful paint job! Vicky and Sophia are awesome at doing your brows! Jordana at the front desk is beyond amazing. She's so personable and easy to deal with! Utopia is my home away from home! Highly recommended!! read more

Was extremely impressed on the day of my appointment...however I have lost all of my initial amazement at how good the salon was. I got a full acrylic set with gel polish and three nails broke within the first week of being on. My friend also got a set and her nails broke too. She went in to get them fixed and they broke YET AGAIN. We reached out to the salon via Instagram dm, and we were left on "seen". Two more messages have been sent requesting to cancel future appointments...very disappointed. Thought I found my new go-to salon in Boca, but I am still on the hunt. read more

I was really looking forward to this salon since I have been struggling to find a GOOD place since moving to south Florida. I thought I found the place, friendly staff and clean place.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I went in to try this place out because they were in a nice location and conveniently open on a Sunday. I went in for nexgen with tips. I got French and the work was atrocious!! I paid and tipped the nail tech Lucy well because I felt bad. I couldn't even loook at my nails. I called the next day and the girl who answered told me to come in for a polish change no charge. I come in and the manager puts me BACK with Lucy and tells me if I don't get a French he's charging me. Wait.. so you are gonna have the same shitty nail tech do the same shit work and expect the client to be happy? I'm confused. I said it's fine just drill off the top coat of the nexgen and throw a gel color over and call it a day. The manager had the nerve to charge me $20 to put gel over the shit work. Never in my life would I ever ever go back here!! He said if you don't do French like you paid for I have to charge you sorry! Here is the picture of the second time around lol my thing nail is already half chipped ‍ read more

I wanted a pink French tip on my toes with normal nail polish. I showed the reference photo and she said she could do it. When it came time to paint she painted my whole toe pink and argues with me, insisting that the reference photo I showed was "wrong". In the end I ended up paying 30 dollars for full pink nails that weren't even done well. It was so bad I didn't even want to get my nails done anymore. read more

Finally I found Sophia again! I used to go to a nail place less than a half mile from here, Sophia once worked there years ago and I always loved how she cared about the work she did. She left and years later some of her families members also disappeared from the same salon. One of my friends told me Sophia and her family moved to Utopia so I knew I had to make an appointment. I cannot say how beyond happy I am to have found Sophia. She is amazing and so is everyone at this place (Alex, Dan etc)! They can do any designs you want but I keep it basic. Today was my second time going here and I couldn't be happier! Sophia takes her time and makes sure you leave loving your nails. Today I got decided to get my nails black and they look great. This is a no frills type of salon but they are great at their work. read more

Utopia Nails Spa - Peeling gel nail with in 2 hours of my appointment. - Nail Salons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I have never been so insulted or disrespected in my life from a business. I have been coming there for 2 years with Dan and I always raved about his work and how wonderful his nail salon is. But beware it's a cloak of darker issues. They are biased against thier customers and if they don't like you for whatever reason they will just "fire you" without cause. It's discrimination! I paid them full price of their outrageous prices because i felt they did a good job. I brought them business and I was always a good customer. I never ever had any problems with anyone and I was frequently there. But all of a sudden I was banned from their salon for no good reason at all other than he didn't like me anymore after two years. That is biased and discriminatory against people for no incident or event that occurred. Turn yourself away. You have better options. I will also be filing a compliant against them as well for total discrimination of a customer for no event at all. I also believe they talk bad about you while you're there and they play favorites with their customers. I've seen them be rude and condescending. They should be shut down. read more

Dan was doing my nails for about a year or so without any issues. One day I was waiting for him to finish up with someone before it was my turn. At the end of her appointment he tells her that he can no longer do her nails. She asked why and he said that he is only doing extreme designs going forward. She asked to make an appointment with someone else in the salon and they said no one is available in 2-3 weeks, basically "firing" her from coming back again. This very same thing happened to me about a month after that occurred. They wouldn't rebook me or give me anyone else in the salon to use. I guess their aim is to loose all their customers that are spending good money to get their nails done. I took my money elsewhere. read more

If i could give this place a 0 i would. They are rude and are losing customers. Dan is extremely rude and the receptionist is an idiot! It is like a cult. Do they not know word of mouth and Yelp are very strong ways to make or break a business? Be nice and respectful to your clients! I agree with the other patrons on this site the service is awful! read more

Thank you Dan!! My daughter is so delighted after you rescued her from a nail disaster the week of graduation. Masterful artistry! Thank you! read more

Overall, I had a very good experience here. I only went in for a dip powder manicure. I didn't have any previous product on and I didn't put tips on. They had an amazing range of colors for both gel and the powder. I told multiple times that I didn't want tips due to my work and they kept pushing. I understand short nails are harder to work with but they were definitely workable. My technician was very sweet and once she started I noticed that she only did 2 layers of the color and I'm used to 3. It wasn't a huge deal but I do notice that there's some transparent parts on my nail and it's not my favorite look but it's fine. She did very well with the tool though, my nails didn't get hot and she didn't nick me anywhere. She did a gel topcoat which was fine as well, and the color and shape came out super neat. I was surprised it was $35 since most places are $30 and again I didn't need anything product taken off and no tips were put on. She did a good job but nothing was fantastic or stood out that would be worth the $5. It's a convenient place off Federal which was nice and there was comfortable silence which was appreciated since I went right after work. Overall I would come back and try more of their colors. read more

Utopia lives up to its name! It is the most well run nail salon I have ever been to. Everyone is beyond talented and incredibly friendly, this is probably the only salon I would feel comfortable with saying "put me with anyone." Dan, alex, and Sophia are so detail oriented when it comes to nail art and have an eye for how to take your design idea to the next level. I had to transition to corporate friendly nails and Alex, Sophia, Hannah, and Dan have helped me figure out a shape that works for me. Jordana, at the front, is wonderful! Her contagious energy and outstanding customer service turns what can feel like a chore, into an appointment you actually look forward to! Everyone at this salon goes above and beyond to make each customer feel like a valued client, rather than just another appointment time. read more

Utopia Nails Spa - Nex gen manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I was so excited to go here as their instagram looked great. I drove an hour each way to go there ... my nail tech was Vicky and she was absolutely horrible. She even admitted halfway through that I should go to someone else who was better. What???? It took her two hours to do a normal gel manicure. She messed up the shape of my nails and made them super short and super thick. I told the front desk when I left how unhappy I was and to please fix my nails. They refused and were super rude to me and still charged me. Additionally I lived in Beijing for 3 years and understand and speak some Mandarin. They were talking shit about me the whole appointment! You never know who you're working on. DONT GO HERE. RUDE RUDE and BAD customer service. She butchered my nails. Can't believe I paid $50 for this botched manicure. She also couldn't get the red polish in the lines and said it was too hard for her lol. You're kidding right. read more

I just had the worst experience here. The lack of communication is horrible. I asked for 618 for gel and said the name of the polish and they gave me 610 instead which is a bright orange if you're wondering and I need a nude for a wedding. The man receptionist and nail tech were so rude and she yelled about me across the salon so I could hear her saying how I picked the wrong color, even though it wasn't given the correct color I asked for. Then, I was not going to get my nails done after and when I was charged they didn't give me their student discount. There are so many other salons with better staff who are more talented and will not make you feel bad for the staff making a mistake. I called to see if the staff could correct it for me and I was told that I need to learn how to pick the right color. (Which I did even though that's not what I was given.) read more
