Clients reviews about Ulux Nail Spa at Routh

I discovered this ULUX location about a year and a half ago, and never looked back. I did enjoy my previous nail salon in uptown, but prefer this one. The time, care, and attention to detail here is unmatched! I’ve had lovely experiences each time, worked with various techs, and I always love the result. I even got a complimentary moisturizer during my last visit! Just ensure you allow for enough time within your schedule for an appointment. Online, it lists a set as taking 55 minutes, but I’ve found they usually take about 15-20 minutes longer than that. I believe I’ve only had one appointment end within an hour (and I rarely opt for nail art). I don’t mind this, as the extra time is due to how meticulous they are about shaping, filing, and dipping to perfection! You’re in good hands. ~ Elizabeth P

I love this place. Since I've found it, I won't go anywhere else. I have had a few different technicians and they are all fabulous. However, if I could use only two words, they would be: SUE TRAN! This woman does such a fabulous job on my nails, every time, and I'm always so delighted when I go. Her attention to detail is amazing. This picture looks like it's out of a magazine! Also, Victoria does my pedi and she never lets me down! She also takes special care of the cuticles and polish, so everything looks crisp. She truly takes pride in her work, and she's a delight. The location is charming, and they are always full so you should definitely schedule an appointment. The staff is always very polite and attentive, and they offer a variety of other services. ~ Sarah W

My family & I are from MS & are in Dallas this week for our son’s travel basketball tournament. I needed my nails done & decided to give Ulux a try. My husband, our 13 yo son & I walked in about 12:00 expecting to have to wait. Within 3 minutes we were placed in pedicure chairs. My husband got a deluxe pedicure, my son got the sports pedicure, & I got a classic pedicure & dip change on my hands. ALL of the people were smiling & polite. They did a fantastic job on all 3 of us. I’m not one to ever leave reviews but decided to do so since I am an out-of-towner and was treated like a “local regular”. Do not hesitate to go here!! The facility is so cute & super clean!! I will definitely come back if I’m ever in Dallas again!! ~ Lorrie H

Jessica has been doing my nails for two years. Despite having moved farther from ulux, I will always drive back every three weeks for my manicure. I typically get a basic gel mani (with tip usually ~$55) and occasionally one of the special designs (extra depending on design). I just got the cat eye gel and I’m obsessed. Jessica always does an amazing job. When I was getting the cat eye, she was completely done and putting cuticle oil on when she realized that the effect on one of my nails wasn’t quite the same and she stopped and redid the top coat of that nail. I hadn’t even noticed. She always makes sure my nails look perfect ✨ and Im always looking forward to nail day. (Update 04/27/2025- Jessica is no longer at Ulux and I have followed her to her new location [see reviews], but my 5 star rating for Ulux still stands) ~ Jamie A

3/14 Update: Kevin, the manager called me right away after he knew about my experience at his salon and I must say I was quite surprised. He offered to give a new manicure and I must say the tech that I got the second time did a much better job. Outstanding customer service from Kevin and the rest of the staff. Thank you for making it a pleasant experience. I loved my manicure! 3/6 First time here and probably the worst dip manicure I’ve had. And I am not exaggerating. They got the color wrong first and I had to tell them, so they fixed that, but my nails look I would’ve done them myself. I do not recommend. I’ve paid less for a mani and had them done much better. ~ Myriam

As a Google reviewer, a company can catch my eye with a 5-star average on 44 reviews. Though, being a tad bit skeptic, I had to see for myself. As you can see, I too have given a 5-star review. The Experience started from the moment I called to schedule an appointment. On the phone I felt as though the young man with whom I scheduled my appointment genuinely appreciated me calling and look forward to my arrival. Keyword: genuinely. Not just politely. upon arrival I was greeted with a smile and only good vibes. The decor is chic and serene. it's also a great place for a group nail experience yes. They have a covered patio with a small lounge area and four chairs at a high table. Oh and yes, there is wine. Priced similarly to any other Salon I've been to, you will know that I have found my new salon. Thank you Ulux for a beautiful nail salon experience! ~ Kate C

Found this place through Yelp as I needed to get a quick mani/Pedi before the holiday party...and it did not disappoint. I called for an appointment and was able to stop by after my lunch meeting in Uptown. I was looking for a gel mani (~$43) and a regular Pedi ($33), and I was happy to see that they offer a matching nail color set for gel and regular polish. The process was efficient as you get both mani and Pedi done simultaneously. It is not something that I am used to in NYC, but it saved time! I had Renee for the gel mani and Tracy for the Pedi. Both ladies were very attentive and friendly. Parking was easy as I was able to find a spot right outside. ~ Cindy W

One of the best manicures I’ve ever had. Vicky was my nail tech and she was incredible. I was visiting Dallas from KC and was unable to get my nails done ahead because of work. I also broke one of my nails trying to remove my old acrylic myself and it was pretty bad. Not only did Vicky execute my inspo picture PERFECTLY but she was also able to cover up my broken nail. She warned it might not last long but I didn’t care as long as I did t have to wear a bandaid all weekend. Attached photos are my nails (on the left) and the photo I used as reference (on the right) Will defined be coming back if I ever need my nails done in Dallas. ~ Shayna S

I've tried several nail salons in Dallas, and Ulux was recommended to me by a friend, and it is the best! I came in to get a dip manicure, and the next day I noticed that a few of my nails had cracked, and by the next day one had chipped. I called Ulux and asked if I could come get those nails fixed and they scheduled me for the next morning. When I went to get my nails fixed, Kin (who previously did my manicure), removed all my old dip (even the nails that hadn't cracked or chipped) and gave me an entire new dip manicure at no charge. I'm so appreciative and impressed by the service at Ulux and have recommended Ulux to all my friends! ~ Amy C

I visited this spa over the weekend during my visit to Dallas and I received a phenomenal pedicure from Kim that I just had to leave a review. She took her time and literally gave me the best pedicure I’ve ever received. Very polite and just took her time which really meant a lot to me. My husband waited outside for me as we were fresh off the plane and couldn’t check into our hotel just yet and he raved about how may times he noticed she was massaging my legs and how well the pedicure turned out. Thank you again and also appreciated the 15% discount for first time visitors. ~ Maranda P

This place is the best! I called to make an appointment(which isn't necessary) and they were so nice and helpful from the beginning. Once I arrived they were friendly and thoughtful throughout the whole visit. I went for a pedicure and splurged on the "it's me time" package. This was absolutely worth it and if you can, I highly recommend the upgraded pedi. I have never felt so relaxed and my toes look so great!! The atmosphere is fun and relaxing and staff is so great. Even if you just want a quick pedi or mani, this is the place. I wish i could give more stars. ~ Kathleen V

Fantastic service! This was my first time going to any nail salon in Dallas. I searched for top rated salons and found this one. Decided to give it a try! My nail tech was very attentive and constantly checked in with me to make sure I was satisfied with the service. He was very precise with my nails. The front desk staff was very friendly also! I can see why they had a full house. This place has high standards for customer service and hospitality! You won’t be disappointed. Will definitely be back! ~ Victoria S

Had a great experience coming here. I live in Uptown so it's literally about 5 mins from me which makes it so convenient. Customer service is excellent and I felt very comforted and welcome upon entering. I received a french rose gold ombre dip powder manicure, lavender pedicure and chin wax. I was so relaxed with the pedicure I could have fallen asleep. They were very accommodating and offered wine, water, etc. I loved my nails once completed and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this place. ~ RG

Ulux Nail Spa in Dallas, Texas, is hands down the best nail spa experience I’ve ever had! That's why I have been going there since they opened. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm smiles and a calming ambiance that makes you feel instantly relaxed. The staff is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely attentive to your preferences and needs. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and every manicure and pedicure is done to perfection. The spa is impeccably clean, the tools are sanitized thoroughly, and they use top-quality products that leave your nails looking fabulous and lasting longer than expected. I especially love the creative nail art options—they can do it all! The atmosphere is inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day. If you’re looking for a nail spa that combines luxury, expertise, and excellent customer service, Ukux is it. I can’t recommend them enough! Five stars aren’t enough to capture just how amazing they are. This is the go-to place for flawless nails and an unparalleled pampering experience. ~ Kayla W

Loving my nails! I had visited a different Nail Spa and had a traumatizing experience when they chopped my natural long nails off thinking I was going to get acrylic. Took me a long time to re-grow them and I'm happy to have tried Ulux. It was a very simple, to the point experience. I appreciate they asked me multiple times to confirm what I was getting and that it was extra. I guess they don't want people to be surprised at the end with payment. Will definitely come back ~ Katherine M

I went to ULUX once and that was all it took...this is hands down my new go-to place. The spa is very well done and very *clean* (this is big one for me). The staff are more than friendly and incredibly professional. My pedicure was one of the best I've had and I didn't feel rushed or like they were trying to get me out the door for the next customer. They paid attention to detail and delivered a great customer experience. I am very impressed and intend to try their other services.. ~ Olivia G

I used to get my nails done by Justin and I haven’t been in a while because I found a place closer to my house (Ulux is 40 mins from my house) so I called 4 days ago to book an appointment with Justin and they said I was good to go.. only to receive a text about an hour later that read: “Justin won’t take your appointment. We are unsure of the reason why but can we have someone else do your nails from now on?” I thought to myself, wow from now on?? Umm no. So I politely replied: “No, if Justin can’t do them please cancel my appointment. I know that I’m very picky when it comes to getting my nails done because I only have time to get them done once every 6 weeks. So of course I want to be happy with something I have to look at for 6 weeks. Plus, Justin is really funny and super cool. I thought we had built a little bit of a friendship.. I used to look forward to seeing him and having him do my nails. However, that text message left a VERY BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. I won’t be back. But if any of you ladies visit Ulux Nail Spa ask for Justin he’s the best at GelX (they last for 6 weeks) ~ Alondra S

I’ve been coming to this place for well over 10 years now, and they have never let me down. I went to school in Los Angeles, & I remember going to Ulux during EVERY break/visit. They are all such sweet (& talented people. My current go-to ladies are Rosie & Diane, but I’ll still go even if they aren’t available - that’s how good all of the nail techs are. The Owner, Kim, is such a ray of sunshine & Joe, one of the managers, is a total sweetheart. 10/10 recommend! 🤍 ~ Victoria L

I was a visitor from Florida and this was Hands Down the best mani/pedi experience I have ever had. I received SO MANY compliments during my trip and when I got home. I was in and out in 1 hour. They gave you a full mani/pedi at the same time. Everyone was so nice! It was clean and very professional. Highly recommend In the Dallas area! (Side note: there were 3 of us and we changed our apt time 3 times and they still were accommodating and sat us next to each other!) ~ Stephanie S

This might be my first review ever. I got builder gel on my natural nails for context. Such a great place! Rosie was my nail tech, made me super comfortable and did exactly what I had asked for. She payed amazing attention to detail, understood what I wanted and made suggestions that she thought would work and they did! Great service, reasonable price, wish I discovered this place sooner because I’d be a regular for sure ~ Raiye G

Rachel actually does EXCELLENT CLASSIC MANICURES!!! PRAISE GOD! ... I gave up on getting my nails professionally cleaned, buffed, shined, soaked, clipped, filed, cuticles nipped, the whole nine.... not to mention AND PAINTED WELL!!! But Rachel? Rachel deserves all the credit!!! She did all that... plus, she's detailed, takes her time, SHE TALKS TO YOU, and she PAINTS WELL! I'll be back for a pedi next! ~ Chastity S

I came in for a pedicure and had a great experience. The customer service was excellent—everyone greeted me and checked in several times to see if I needed anything. I really enjoyed my pedicure and plan to come back for the full experience next time. I was a new customer but didn’t receive the 15% off that I saw online—so I’m not sure if that promotion is still valid. Regardless, I was happy with the service and will definitely return! ~ Tiffani K

Here to post another great review for Ulux on Routh St.! Leann and Ms. Mary are absolutely amazing! 🤩 There was another young lady that did my pedicure yesterday, and she was also wonderful and kind. Please forgive me… I’ve forgotten her name. Y’all are my favorite salon for a reason. Everyone is excellent, the service is unmatched, and I’m so blessed to be able to walk right outside my apartment and visit you. See you in two weeks! 💕 ~ Ebonee D

I would give them six stars if I could! I went in for a mani pedi and ombre acrylics. Tina took good care of me and the customer service was worth 12 stars! The nails exceeded my expectations and I came in with a cut on my index finger. Tina was very careful and soooooooo sweet! I will never go anywhere else! I loved the variety of choices. They definitely favor comfort and cleanliness. Ask for tina!!!😄👍 ~ Dawn D
