Utopia Nail & Spa New York

I love love love utopia nail spa!!! I started going a year ago when they first opened and have been hooked ever since. The space is beautiful. So elegant and SUPER clean, unlike every other nail salon in the Maspeth/​Middle Village area. Cleanliness is so important when it comes to nail salons and Utopia is A+++. As soon as you walk in you feel zen and calm as the scent of lavender lingers and the soft spa music is playing. The owners are a friendly mother and son duo who treat you like they’ve known you forever. And all the nail technicians are super qualified and do excellent work. You will love Utopia nail spa! I highly recommend it.

My favorite nail salon period! Tried various locations in Manhattan and Queens but this one is by far the best. Wide variety of colors to choose and always great service. Recommended to a friend and will continue to refer others in the future. Never disappointed!

Best Gel Manicure!!!
This place came highly recommended from a friend. I decided to try it out for my wedding (I obviously trust my friends recommendations) and was not disappointed. This place is very clean and chic. I love the atmosphere and the staff were very nice. I did a gel mani and regular pedi. The gel manicure lasted me for 3 weeks with no chipping. It lasted my entire honeymoon! I live about 25 minutes away, but its worth the drive! My new go-​to nail salon! The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because I returned after my honeymoon for a regular manicure and wasn’t too happy with it. I guess gel is their thing.

When it comes to nail salons I can be a little specific — I’m looking for cleanliness, experience, options with colors, customer service and a pleasant experience and this place truly had it.
My regular place is in the city where I work but as I’m about to give birth any minute now I needed to find a place near home where I wouldn’t be disappointed. I walked in and out of a back of place I have in queens solely because in two years they are still carrying the same limited gel colors. Got in my car and thought where do I go now (9months pregnant). Thanks to my husband calling a suggesting I just Unilocal to figure it out I did that and it lead me to Utopia and I’m so glad it did.
From the moment I walked in they staff was so friendly, inviting, the place decorated very modern and clean (also important since my husband is a contractor I notice these things). They had a lot of gel color options, pedicure chairs so comfortable, offered a beverage, and just did such a great job on my mani pedi. Everything was sanitary which is the most important thing and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to go back after I give birth to try the matte colors. Truly a nice experience, I’m already telling my sister to forget her place in Brooklyn to come here, save travel time and walk away feeling like everything was perfect. Highly recommend everyone to try.
Prices I believe are normal for me since I pay this in the city — for queens customers it may be seen as a little overpriced but for the overall experience I think they are right on track.
Bertha took care of me but it seems that all the techs seem equally as qualified in their craft — there was a younger guy at the front desk who was knowledgable and professional really making it an overall experience — I’ll be back for sure!

Clean! Nice salon!
Great customer service!
Way too expensive!
& my nails didn’t quite turn out how I wanted them (even showed a pic), so it’s even more disappointing when you have to pay so much for something you’re not crazy about. Tech knew it wasn’t quite right, too, but just kept asking if it was fine instead of fixing it. I said yes even though it wasn’t just because at a certain point it was too far gone.
Overall, pretty good place.

I am absolutely making this salon my new go to nail place in the area. As a lifelong Western Queens resident I have tried almost every salon from Astoria to Maspeth & this has by far been one of my favorites. I came in last Friday for a gel manicure/​regular pedicure and was extremely impressed with the service. The inside has a very serene spa like atmosphere and the seating from the pedicure chairs to manicure chairs to drying station are all very comfortable and tastefully done.
My gel manicure cost $ 25.00 and has lasted me over a week with only one teeny tiny chip on my pointer finger (albeit I did some CRAZY cleaning yesterday and was definitely at fault for this chip). The rest of my nails look perfect. The man who was there (manager? owner? he didn’t identify himself) was extremely sweet even helping me out of the pedicure chair when I was done. They also offered me water in the beginning which I declined, but appreciated since most places don’t do that. I paid/​tipped in cash anyway but I’m pretty sure I heard them telling another woman in there they accepted credit cards but tip had to be in cash which is pretty standard for a lot of salons in the area. Will definitely be back!

I have found my new nail salon! Moved to Maspeth a year ago and this place is the best nail salon in the area. Very chic and comfy inside. Feels like a nail salon in the city. Staff is very patient and kind. Great nail color selection and affordable prices. Will definitely be coming here again.

I wish I can give this place more than 5 stars. Stopped in with my wife and she absolutely loved it.

After reading all the great reviews I decided to take my mom here to get her nails done for her birthday and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. From the moment you walk in the door the staff is very attentive and polite! The atmosphere is relaxing and the customer service you receive is incomparable to any other salon I have gone too.
I was really impressed & I’m excited to go back and refer my friends !
Plus when they have happy hour you can also get some delicious sangria, it doesn’t get any better !

Brenda was amazing! The staff was very nice. I walked in with no appointment and they were super accommodating. Excellent service all around! I’m definitely coming back. I love how well they decorated everything too! It’s chic and sophisticated. The nail salon I’ve been to in this area. Go check it out! It’s worth it.

WOW! Just wow! Best nail salon in all of my 6 years in Queens… You walk in to such an elegant, clean, beautiful salon. It looks like you’re in a salon in Beverly Hills. Fantastic service! I will never go anywhere else. Thank you for my beautiful manicure =)

Mani Pedi Bliss!
I highly recommend this fantastic establishment. I take my nail care very seriously and on the recommendation of my cousin, I took a chance.
Every penny was worth it. I had a basic Mani Pedi & it was perfectly executed by Bertha although I suspect that you would get the same impeccable service from any of the technicians.
I consider a $ 12 manicure «city» prices (considering this is Queens) and double what I was paying but I am happy to adjust my budget for these services.
I LOVE this place and cannot wait for my next visit.

Thank you George and nail tech Brenda. Had a relaxing and professional experience on my 1^st visit there yesterday. The salon was extremely clean, everyone was friendly and polite. Spoke to you and amongst themselves in English. I did not get rushed through my app. To get to the next customer
I will def. be returning

I wanted to edit this review bc Utopia didn’t really deserve a blemish, even the smallest.
We went back and both had mani/pedi’s, we were BOTH VERY pleased and will keep patronizing this lovely nail spa.
Although, we thank them for trying to make it up to my hubby, he was not able to go back immediately due to his schedule, but the offer was much appreciated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was the 2^nd time getting a mani/​pedi here. I really like this place. They are very attentive, the décor is very pretty and the polishes are top of the line in a huge array of colors that are just so yummy. The first mani/​pedi I had here, the polish lasted a good 3 wks! No chipping at the tips! Even the pedi withstood going in and out of shoes!
I have to add that I did go in w my husband and he got a MANIcure ;) on both occasions, he was very pleased with the mani the first time, but not so much this last time. He’s not sure if she was rushing to finish so that she could start on her next appointment, but he said his nails did not look as good as the first time.
I was happy w mine and I’m sure to go back.

I always have a great experience at Utopia because of the quality, cleanliness, attentiveness, and timeliness of the business. I never went to a salon/​spa to get my nails done before being invited here because I figured I could just clip them myself and there was no need to pay someone else for that service, but it’s more than just about getting nails clipped.
I have been going to Utopia for about 6 months and I started out by going with my wife. She wanted me to join her so I did for a spa pedicure and the best part about it was the massage with the oils and lotions!!!
The staff is also very friendly, offering water, chocolates, and to hang up my coat. So far I have taken my wife and mother. My mom is particular about the places she goes to because she is allergic to many products and to dust so the cleaner the place the better. My wife enjoys the variety of nail polish and that they take their time to do a great job.
I like that they allow me to make an appointment easily by phone because I like my activities to be at a specific time. They honor appointments.

Overall great place! I have spent some time now looking for a clean, relaxing place that does a great job and this is it. I had my mani/​pedi done by Brenda and she’s awesome.
Starting with the moment you walk in the door you feel welcome. The owner’s son is very nice and helpful in showing colors and explaining the different options. The décor is really nice and far superior to most of the places I have seen in the area. Everything is new, clean and organized.
This salon is also technologically up to date. You can make an appointment online or over the phone, payment is taken through and iPad and they use your email or phone number as a «membership» like other salons do with the stamps. I don’t know about everyone else but I always forgot my card or forgot to get it stamped so this works perfectly for me.
Lastly, they don’t overbook and I was told when I first went as a walk-​in that it’s best to make a reservation the following visit because their goal is to not make their clients wait too long. You can tell they’re not just a money hungry salon who will always tell you a nail tech will be available in five minutes. They value their customers and do everything they can to ensure a good experience.
One note: bring cash because it is a cash tip only place

I love this place! Very relaxing place and lovely staff. I love getting my nails done here. Favorite place in maspeth!!!

Very clean friendly sweet women felt very welcomed and will be coming back. Nice place to relax and get treated. Many color options and helpful staff.

First impressions last and certainly they made a lasting impression on me. I wanted a nail salon that was going to be clean (duh), with friendly people and I wanted a spa-​like atmosphere. I live in Elmhurst off of Queens Blvd and there are a slew of nail salons but I was looking for a specific type of «experience». I certainly got that at Utopia Nail & Spa.
Besides being greeted with a friendly and warm smile the minute I walked in the door I was amazed how modern the facility was. This nail salon is a woman’s dream. I love the «bling bling» from the chandeliers to the pillows (I want one lol). The owner’s son greeted me upon entering. He showed me the different types of nail polishes they had (helloooo Chanel) and spoke to me about the different types of mani and pedi packages they have as well as the weekly specials (coughWINEcough).
It’s on a very quiet street away from the hustle and bustle amidst some single family homes. I went on a Friday night and arrived at 7pm (I had a 7:30pm appointment) and got parking across the street.
I love that I can make a reservation online (they do accept walk-​ins too) as well as how technologically advanced they are compared to other nail salons. My receipt was emailed to me (they have an iPad at the register) and with my email (or cell) they can keep track of my visits (it’s like a membership card).
Andrea is the owner, Berta is the one who did my mani/​pedi my first visit but they all seem to be very good.
The quiet spa like music from the TV/​speakers adds to a very relaxing and calm visit. I WILL be back next week!

Great place among many other lackluster choices in Maspeth. You can book your appointments online very easily, which is super convenienant. When you book online, you get a text message reminder, which is also convenienant. The staff is very nice and the place is very clean. They run a special on Tuesdays & Thursdays– $ 25 for a mani/​pedi. Also, on Tues & Wed from 5 – 8 they offer Happy Hour with complimentary wine and mimosas. Very nice touch! They also offer premium nail color brands for a small up charge, which is not really my thing, but again a nice little touch that sets them apart. The décor is modern & sleek. It is small, so I recommend making an appointment. I’m so glad I found this place!
