Quick info
About Red Design Nails
Red Design Nails sits on Van Dyke Ave in Utica, offering nail services alongside microblading and laser hair removal. Shellac manicures and pedicures anchor the nail menu, backed by a wide selection of polish colors, and eyebrow services round out the offering. The combination of nail care, microblading, and laser hair removal lets clients handle more than one service in a single visit. Appointments are recommended, though walk-ins may be accepted, and the salon can often fit in short-notice bookings. It opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Shellac manicures draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers calling the polish more natural and healthy looking and returning repeatedly for gel manis and pedis. Close behind, several mention eyebrows, microblading, and laser hair removal as services they've also booked with the owner, and one reviewer highlights custom patriotic nail art done without specific instructions. Regulars describe the tools as clean and say they've been fit in even on short notice. Against this, two reviewers report sharply negative experiences: one describes rude customer service and painful application, while another says a shellac removal went wrong and staff made a refund contingent on coming back in, leaving that customer unwilling to return. Most reviewers, though, describe a rapport with the owner and staff that keeps them coming back, with one noting they drive 35 minutes specifically for this location.

“Loving my patriotic nails just in time to celebrate Independence Day! 🇺🇸✨ I didn’t give any instructions—just let them work their magic—and they nailed it (pun intended 😄). So creative, festive, and perfect for the 4th! 💅❤️🤍💙 …”

“Wish I can give them 0 star… awful customer service. I have been there more than once and every time I go they are always rude. The owner is awful with customer service. If they do your nails they hurt you like they are fighting with you. …”

“I absolutely love Red Design!! I am a regular customer here and haven't had a bad experience yet! I get shellac pedicures and my nails vary, but also eyebrows! Sue has so many services to offer too such as microblading and laser hair removal. Thank you Sue and team for tour hard work!”

“Sue and her team are wonderful. I come here regularly for gel manis and pedis and I’ve gotten laser hair removal with Sue as well. I’m not sure what the bad reviews are about but I personally have only ever had really good experiences at this salon. Their tools are clean and I’ve never had any issues. They have always fit me in even on short notice.”
