UB Spa Nails

I would give it 5 stars but the polish was put on very thin and I can see streaks. The staff is very friendly and I will give 5 for cleanliness which is a huge thing to me. I will definitely give them another chance.

An amazing place to treat yourself! Prices are very reasonable and you get more then what you pay for. Everyone does a great massage and they always take their time with you. No chips last over 2 weeks and regularly manicures last over a week. I am a hair colorist and have to shampoo a lot of heads of hair but my nails always last when I go to UB. I am licensed to do nails and know the rules when it comes to sanitation. UB nails is one of the ONLY places to follow the guide lines. Super clean salon. Love this place!!!

Really clean and organized, but super poor no chip quality. I don’t know if it was the lamp on no chip heater or what, but my experience was horrible. My nails wouldn’t dry so it kept smudging… so much so that I had to come back the next day because I didn’t have anymore time for her to fix it. You would think she would have given me a discount or gift certificate of some sort, but she didn’t. She was apologetic, but that was about it. It’s day 4 of my no chip and I have chips and dents everywhere. Very poor quality for the money.

I love UB Nails, great place, clean, comfortable with friendly staff. I’m a loyal customer of 5+ years, I love the fact they are open until 7pm and on Sunday. Jenny is great, very good mani/​pedi and neck message!

Fantastic place!!! Always friendly and accommodating. Wonderful services and Great selection of regular polish no chip. I always see Jenny, but everyone seems great!!!

Love UB Nails! Best service, super clean, always friendly and accomadating. Great experience every time!!! Top notch :-)

Pretty good place. Everyone seems very nice. I really liked that they have a large selection of no-​chip colors. The girl that did my toes did a pretty good job. The guy that did my no-​chip was top notch. He really seemed to know what he was doing and was easy to talk to. My only complaint would be the music. It was kind of. «old.» They need more fun and peppy music, at least on the weekends. They also don’t take American Express, which is odd, for the area. Ill be back tho. my nails look awesome.

I’m a loyal cutome and have been with my previous nail lady for 7 years. I walked into get a pedicure at UB nails and the guy wanted to fix one nail on my finger. I fell in love with his work! I’ve sent all my friend who’ve been with there same people for years. We love it there. The two best people there are Souk and Sam. Yes, they are both males, but are the best there.

Sadly, my more recent visits have not been as nice. Less professional service (my favorite nail tech moved to their new location). Also, the pedicure seating is uncomfortable. This bothers me, since most other places use massage chairs.

This place never let’s me down! I don’t have a regular person who takes care of me but have never had a bad experience. Once in awhile I even bring my daughter in and they are really good with her too! I’ve gotten nails and waxing done and have always had good luck. Also, place is clean!!!

I saw some of the previous reviews and was a little skeptical but my first visit was delightful. I’ve gone back multiple times and every visit has been great. Love the place! My manicure always lasts a good week and no chip manicure lasts two weeks. I also love the green tea pedicure; hot stone massage, extra massage, paraffin… the whole works! You also get a little shoulder massage while you sit at the dryer. The staffs are very nice too. Definitely try the place :) they also have a location in lake forest and I recommended them to go there and they also love it.

Was getting great pedicures until I had Sylvia do my pedicure. 1^st she put me in a tub with only 1 sprayer working when working tubs were available. She did not work hard at trimming, scaling or anything regarding the pedicure. I am VERY dissatisfied.

I’ve been coming here for years so it makes me sad to write this. The new hires are not good. I got an ingrown toenail for the first time in 20 years after one young woman kept cutting the nail down the sides after I repeatedly told her to cut straight across. She also was really rough when pushing and cutting the cuticles. My daughter had the same experience with her. They hired two men. The younger man takes FOREVER for a regular manicure. The older guy is super rough. Furthermore, do not book an end of the day appointment. There were four or five people working there and they were either staring at me or mopping furiously. Send the extras home and tell the ones who stay what closing time is and to treat the last appointment as well as the first. Lastly, the pedicures have gotten lame. They barely try to get any dead skin off your heels and the leg massage is either way too hard (guy above) or half assed. I’ve been trying out other salons in the area. There are so many, I don’t have to put up with how crappy UB has become.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff! The salon is clean and my appointment started right on time.
I was disappointed at first that there were not massage chairs for the pedicure but while I sat under the dryer at the end of my session my manicurist gave me a quick back massage which almost made up for it.
I will definitely be back!

Great place all around!!! Got the green tea pedi which comes with all sorts of add-​ons like 10 min massage scrub neck massage just fabulous!!!
WILL BE BACK!

I live near by so I regularly drive by, walk or bike here.
I never make an appointment for my brow wax because I arrive regularly irregular :) and I have never been sent back home without being serviced!
All the technicians are very nice and quiet. I actually am not good at small talk so I appreciate my quiet time especially when I get my nails done. Prices are good. The place gets busy. I’ve had my mom and my friend come here and they both like it, too.
I highly recommend this place.
And the person up front is always accommodating and friendly!
The place is located in a small plaza so there are parking spaces around. There are times of a day when it’s busier but I have never had an issue.

This place has high quality spa services. I recommend the green tea mani and pedi. Unfortunately though, the technicians are NOT friendly. No greeting, no small talk, very short answers to questions. It wouldn’t be a big deal but because this place is not cheap, I find it surprising. I wouldn’t come here again based on the unfriendly service.

For anyone looking for gel /​shellac /​no-​chip manicures, this salon only carries 10 – 15 colors and none of them were particularly bright. As far as the other polishes go, that selection was limited and they appeared to be really old (sticky, thick).
If they added a ton more polishes to their selection and rotated out their old inventory, this review would be a gonner!

My friend and I were so excited to check out this place based upon the stellar reviews. Let me premise this review by stating that we are reviewing this salon based upon how our **shellac no chip** manicures turned out. Basically, a no chip manicure is more expensive than a regular manicure but through UV technology, lasts for about a month.
The process for both of us started well — our technicians spent a great deal of time prepping our nails (filing, shaping and buffing). We definitely appreciated that. However, when it came to actually painting our French shellac manicures, that is when our experience went downhill.
We have received many French Shellac manicures in the past and were surprised when both technicians applied two coats of our base color first. Then they only applied one coat of the white tip, and might I add, very unevenly. Our end result were nails with very uneven tips and bubbles throughout the base coat. I also should add that they did not use timers to time how long our nails were under the UV light. We will have to wait and see if that affects the lasting quality of the polish.
Overall, we were very disappointed! As the previous reviewer noted, they need to improve on their French manicure shellac application technique.

I almost didn’t want to write a review for this place for fear it will get so busy… But I had to. They are the best manicure/​pedicure place around! I have lived all over California, the north shore, and Australia and this place is the best for the money! The first mani/​Pedi I got here was a basic one and it still included massage for my feet/​legs, hand/​arms, and even a neck rub. My manicure lasted! (Didn’t get the no-​chip kind) and I do nothing but dishes, laundry, and painting!!! Wow! $ 40 for a mani/​Pedi– but these girls deserve at least a $ 7-​$ 10 tip! So the secret is go on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. A mani/​pedi is $ 35 so with a great tip (and they deserve it!!!) you can get all of that for $ 42 – 45) out the door. A LASTING and RELAXING ONE! They also have awesome spa mani/​pedis and offer special green tea pedis if you are looking for something luxurious and different!
Make an appointment– you can make one some day (usually within a few hours) and every time I have waited for no longer than 5 minutes. (And I usually go with my husband and they are accommodating to us– always make sure we are together) :)
