Ultimate Nails Spa

This place is consistently excellent! I’ve been a client for almost a year now, and can say that I’ve yet to be disappointed with this talented staff.
I’ve had my nails done by nearly everyone there, and they are all good. I’ve now stuck with Michelle, simply because she performs miracles with my sometimes stressed out, messed up nails.
Last night, she performed this Christmas miracle on my nails that had broken and or been messed with as a result of my own unintentional stress relief/​bad habit! (See pic of blue winter nails with snowflake and reindeer)
You will not regret deciding to come here!

Best nail salon in Fort Lauderdale. I’ve been going for a few years now and Kelly is amazing. The salon is clean and the staff is always friendly.

Definitely the best mani/​pedi I’ve ever had! The technicians were friendly and chatty but not too loquacious (nobody likes that).
They also used a hot towel on my legs during the pedicure — which I’ve never had. They took their time and I didn’t feel rushed or hurried like I do at other places back home.
The nails look great and the people were awesome — $ 35 for both is a steal to me!

I go every two weeks — pedicure and manicure.

I’m a regular (every 2 – 3 wks) and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Take friends all the time.
Friendly staff, clean shop, excellent service (acrylics and pedis for me; lots of gel and simple manis too). Nails and polish always last and last — and I’m not careful.

Looked for a place for a medi&pedi before a cruise. I’m really happy I booked one here. Nick helped me and my nails looked wonderful afterwards. The salon is clean, chair are really comfortable and staff is friendly.
Only downside was that some clients were calling during their appointment and listening to others private conversations I would have liked to skipped!

In an area that I don’t know well, I passed other nail salons looking for this one because of the better star ratings. Eek! Unilocalers did me wrong!!!
This place isn’t visible from the street and the cab driver dropped us in the wrong spot so we were trying to find it on foot. I had to call twice to locate it. The person on the telephone was difficult to understand but was trying to be as helpful as possible.
Finally, we find the place. First thing she says when we walk in is that she can’t fit us in for at least an hour. Blank stare. If that were the case I was confused as to why it wasn’t mentioned during the multiple phone calls that had just occurred. Oh well, we decided to go eat lunch and come back.
It was me and a friend who were both getting our nails done. I noticed that the man doing my friend’s nails had some sort of neck/​headpiece on where he could talk on the phone. He proceeded to have a conversation in another language the entire time. I mean the whole time from beginning to end and paid no attention to the person who’s nails he was doing. The look of my friends face was somewhere between shock and horror and disgust. I can’t believe the owner of the shop would allow her workers to sit on the phone the whole time they are with a customer. I think this is extremely terrible customer service and unacceptable. On top of that, my friend accidentally smudged one or two of her nails when heading over to the dryer area and she said the man was very angry with her. Of course she didn’t do it on purpose and this happens sometimes. After the poor treatment she just received and then for him to get mad at her for a mistake is just ridiculous.
As for my experience, the woman doing my nails was very very kind. She kept trying to get me to change my mind on color, though. For some reason the gel color/​brand that I chose she was saying took longer to dry and she didn’t want that apparently. Well, I was convinced on the color that I wanted and I wasn’t going to change the color because it inconvenienced her in some way. Then at the end when I was at the register to pay is when I got a closer look at my nails. During the process it seem like she don’t want me to really look at them. I noticed one of my fingers had some seriously insane bubbling on it. I show the woman at the register and she said she would fix it. So I had to sit another 15 minutes to get not just that nail but a few other nails corrected. I was really dissatisfied at the quality of my nail results.
Overall, the two women that I dealt with were very kind. The man was very rude to my friend. The quality of my nails which I think is most important, was not to my satisfaction.

Went to terry for a pedicure and it was amazing he got ingrown nails out I didn’t even know about he really cleaned things up for me not just a polish over unmanicured toes… it was amazing

Amazing pedicure, do your self a favor ask for terry put ur phone away put down what ever reading material and enjoy and soak in the moment. I almost forgot how incredible an amazing foot message and pedicure could be like. Thank u terry. Plus my pink and whites are amazing

I scheduled an appointment with such a helpful woman, received the worst manicure I have ever had, was cut really bad, then blamed for my poor quality gel manicure stating that I did not put my hands in the light correctly, BUT Kelly was wonderful trying to save this experience from another poorly trained manicurists. She couldn’t because of the condition my hands were left in.
To wash my hands tonight, it stings because all of the cuts on my skin.

Kelly is great! I’ve been coming to her for three years and changed my nail salon when she moved to this location. She takes her time and makes sure your nails and experience are great.

I got a great gel mani and regular pedicure. After she noticed a slight imperfection on my thumb she offered to fix it immediately. Pretty fast service given that I did not have an appointment. My only recommendation for the business is to get the nail color display that customers can go through while getting pedicures done. This is helpful when you want to change your mind about a color so you don’t have to keep going back to the wall. Pricing was pretty good although I was charged to remove my old polish but not notified of the cost ahead of time.

I’m a NYC transplant to Fort Lauderdale. I previously visited another nail salon in Miami that did a horrible job. Needless to say, I was on my search to find a nail salon that can come close to the place at home I’m used to. I went onto Unilocal and with the help of the reviews, I made an appt with Tracy.
Tracy is the real deal, did a great job, took her time and did a wonderful job. The place is very clean and nice. In my opinion, all of the people there did a good job on their other clients. I would not hesitate to use them if I needed too. This was indeed a relaxing treat. I recommend this place hands down. This will for sure be my go to place from now on.

I asked for flat nails using curved tips. I was told that the regular tips would be applied in a way to make them flat. As you can see they are flipped up. I hate these nails. I will not return. I paid $ 65 plus tip. Waste of money. I wish they would listen to the customer. I knew that the curved tips were best on my nail beds. She argued about it and I let her win. My error.

This place is awesome! I was put off at first because my husband, daughter and I walked in ready for a pre cruise pedicure (and mani for me) and they told use they were too busy. So we had a drink of wine next door and they ended up doing the best mani and pedi I have ever had! They were so sweet and ended up doing my husband (pedi), daughter (mani and pedi), my mother in law (mani) and myself (mani and pedi) in 1.5 hours. The place was clean and the people were friendly. I would make this my regular nail place if I lived in S. FL. I would suggest calling ahead to make sure they have room. We had Ann, she was awesome!

This is truly an usual review. Nail salons are notorious for having reviews all up and down the scale depending on the customer’s experience. But for once… this salon lives up to its name… «ULTIMATE Nails Spa»… WOW!!! It is my ultimate gel nail mani. pedi experience EVER!
Obviously, this all depends on what kind of tech you get to do your nails. However, all of these ladies (all from Vietnam I think… not totally sure), from ages 28 and up seem more proficient/​pro in their line of work than in any other nail «spa» I’ve been to.
Getting my nails done is a real draggggggg for me. I HATE it… with a passion. Totally. Every time it’s necessary to get those damn things fixed or filled I wait till last minute to get to a salon.
Tracy (the youngest), did my gel nail pedi and she was fantastic! Instead of having me hold my leg out for her to scrub it and do whatever else to it… I just had to leave my feet in one place… on the towel… over the swirling water… and she was able to accomplish what she needed to do without me getting a hernia. Rare deal.
My gel pedi turned out PERFECT! Kudos to Tracy… or Tracey… not sure…(she’s very cute btw, I told her that she is going to make a perfect mommy one day… she is very nurturing/​considerate)\
Kelly (manager), was QUITE the savvy one. She really KNOWS the deal. She’s seen it all and done it all! You can’t pass ANYTHING by her! It’s really funny actually. She is almost like a psychic/​therapist /​sooth sayer…
You won’t know what is happening to you but she will extract info from you that you have locked up and never want anybody to know… she will get it out of you no matter what! Hahahahahaaaa Watch out!
She did a gel/​acrylic fill on my nails and it was totally smooth and effortless and pretty fast too! How could she be that good??? She did everything I asked her to and then some. It’s funny… I didn’t feel rushed, I just felt like I could communicate with her and that she understood exactly what I wanted.
Which is rare.
PERFECT END RESULT.
THE END.

My daughter and I scheduled mani and pedi based on previous reviews; Michele and Debbie were our nail techs. They did a fabulous job. The pedi was soothing and relaxing, toes perfectly polish. The mani was just as perfect. The salon was immaculate with quite a collection of Essie and OPI color. Though we had regular manicures, I was told and could see they had the most extensive selection of Gel polish; 6 rows to be exact! This salon is definitely worth visiting and worth our drive from the Galt.

Very sweet team here! Love the cleanliness.
Michelle & Debbie tamed the damage on my hands & feet after a 5 day beach vacay… I’m feeling extra excited for the remaining 5 days left of my vacay. No more picking & peeling at my old manicure!!!

I’m very picky when getting my nails done but I absolutely fell in love with this salon. The salon is very clean. The staff are very friendly. The prices are about normal as most salons, $ 35 for a mani/​pedi.
Debbie did my nails and I would recommend her. She took her time and did a fabulous job. I will def be going back!

This place has certainly changed in the last few months.
JOHN is no longer working here, so the experience has changed dramatically. There is something stiff and cold about the service. The Utimate Spa Pedicure goes through the same motions, but without the same results. My nails don’t look as fresh as they used to on completion.
It is amazing how much results change when you work with an alternate tech. Definitely going to find John and stick with him!
