Iโ€™ve been going to Van at UC Nails for 7 1/2 years. My usual is a gel mani without designs, and occasionally a pedi. Today I asked for these beautiful holiday designs and I love them! I love knowing I will always leave loving my nails. UC Nails is always clean, inviting and organized; everyone is very friendly and accommodating. The pedicure area is calming with dim lighting for a relaxing time and has several new reclining massage chairs.

UC nails is great and located conveniently near the Mall and Mayo! I see Channa and have been for a while now. She is effluent and does an exquisite job. She always helps with color choices as well, if needed! Sheโ€™s clean and has a great personality!

I brought my daughter to UC Nails for her first manicure. They made it so special for her and did a great job. It was very quiet while we were there, they took their time, and made sure of every detail.

Got my engagement nails done here and thank goodness I did! Chinh did an absolutely fantastic job on my mani-pedi โ€” hands down one of the best Iโ€™ve ever had. My nails look flawless, and the whole process was so relaxing from start to finish. He paid close attention to detail and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and totally in love with my nails- will be back!

Tram did such an excellent job with my French tip gel manicure. Itโ€™s been over a week and it still looks fantastic (see photo 9 days after initial work). She took her time and her attention to detail was great. Will definitely be back!
