Went for my moms passport photo for Chinese passport renewal which apparently is very stringent for the photo. Tried once at CVS and quality is poor and cannot pass the online upload even. The lab staff took time to take the photo appropriately and when first shot was a bit too dark, even re-took the picture again and was very patient. Successful at last and definitely would not have passed without their patience. Totally worth the slightly higher price.

Best place to have 120 film processed. At least in my experience. They take great care in all asp cats from development, scanning and prints.

This is a fantastic place to get your film developed. Ive sent over a bunch of 35mm rolls over the course of a few months and every time they deliver great results for a very reasonable price. Their developing time is quite short as well, as it only takes about 2 business days for them to get you your scans and developed film. Id highly recommend nichols to anyone into film photography.

Went to develop some 35mm film rolls. Prices are fair. The development is fast. And they give options to print, supply the negatives or just a digital download link.

For a long time I had been looking for a place that would develop film into digital form so that it could be in a flash drive.. thankfully I came across Nichols Photo Lab! I am very impressed with the incredible picture quality it’s even better than the actual print outs you can get developed at home anywhere else etc. I have tons of film that needs to be digitalized and so far they have been fantastic at delivering end results in a timely manner too! I definitely will recommend Nichols Photo lab to anyone in the future! 10/10

This place is great! My wife is my assistant and commonly takes my work to Nichols to have it developed. However, I was impressed to speak with the talented individual who helped me out when I recently came in to ask about a few film related issues I had been having. The knowledge and experience he had, along with tips he provided me were a great benefit. Come to find out, upon asking him his name, I discovered who he was. Mr. Gentry, who provided me with so much help, is an incredible artist who I have seen in galleries throughout my home state of Oregon and here in Salt Lake.. Its a blessing to have him working for this lab. Everyone at the lab is friendly, responsive, and quick to complete your projects in a respectful timespan.

High-quality results. Ive done a lot of photography and you can tell this is setup correctly with backlighting as well. For passport photos, the results are as good as anyone can ask for.

I had gotten in the habit of sending my film both 120 and 35 mm to California to be processed. I recently found this place and its convenient the quality is better in the services fast.

Review №11

Quality, but tend to be little sloppy sometimes. Fast response times.Have had a few rolls of film scanned and in those occurrences they have sent the wrong order to me and done another backwards and upside down. You will get your images quickly though. Have a solid selection of film to purchase as well. Fair prices all around. Only folks in town who provide these services - as I understand it. Great one stop shop, but make sure your pay attention to what you drop off and receive.

Review №17

I came in the other day with a camera that I had recently shot on (which already had film in it), and another that I had just purchased, both film cameras. I had absolutely no idea how to get the film out of the camera, or how to put new film back in the camera; clearly I am a beginner. Anyways, a young man was brought out to the front and gave a brief, but full explanation on how to use both of the cameras and how to unload and reload the cameras. I wasnt expecting such a speedy, easy tutorial, but this guy new what he was talking about. I got the film back that I dropped off that day and it came out exactly how he said it would.Thanks for everything Nichols, and young man I didnt catch the name of!

Review №19

In my opinion this is the best photo lab around. Great prices on film development. Theyre fast and consistent. I also like how my film comes back. Their scans/prints have are very good quality with decent prices to boot. Their selection of film is small, but of good quality. Film prices are about the same, or even a little better than online stores.

The signs at the entrance that say to call first- to make sure there’s not too many people in the lobby for Covid. So I called... and the person said to come in unless I was scared. 🤔 I think she could have probably worded that differently..

Review №23

My mom found 29 cartridges of 35 mm in a box of photos she was sorting. We first went to a big brand store and realized that it was going to cost $12-15 each, without knowing if they were worthwhile to even develop.Took them to these folks instead, and they were able to teach us about the numbering system showing that the films had already been developed! We still had a few digitized into just a flash drive to spot check, but Nichols saved us over $300 with just their expertise!Highly recommend them for their honesty, professionalism, and quality of work..

We love Nichols. Love. Love. Love. We have been going there for years to print our family Christmas card. Big family pictures. Invitations for our firm summer BBQ. And anything else we can find an excuse to print. Best print jobs in town for the price. Thank you Amber for always taking such good care of us!

I needed to get a passport photo of my nearly 2 year old son. I initially went to FedEx simply because they were closer. Im not sure if the woman trying to take the photo had never worked with children before but to put it mildly, she was useless. She eventually just gave up and said she couldnt do it. I was so frustrated I left in tears.It took me a week before I was ready to try again and came to Nichols. I told them about my previous experience trying to get a photo and they immediately stated without hesitation, Well get it.And they did. It took 3 different stools and a few tries because they wanted to make sure the photo would meet all the regulations, but THEY DID IT! Super friendly, had my son giggling, and I was one relieved Mama. Best $20 Ive ever spent.

Nichols Photo Lab did an incredible job of taking care of a confused first time customer (me).I was very, very late on an entry into a photography competition and Nichols acommodated me in more ways than I could have ever asked for.The staff were very patient, understanding, and produced a gorgeous product. The store has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere and the NEOS software they use for submitting orders is a very powerful and convenient tool. It makes buying products very easy and Im able to customize them in just about any way I could want.I really appreciate Amber taking several calls from me in the space of an hour as I thought of question after question. She was friendly, professional, and empathetic. My experience wouldnt have been nearly as great if it hadnt been for her.Im looking forward to spending more time checking out the shop and learning about all of the different products and services they offer. They have a truly extensive catalogue and Im happy to be able to go have one dedicated local shop for all of my photographic printing needs.Attached is a photo of the incredible print they gave me!

Ive ordered a few standard prints (without color corrections) from Nichols from 8x10 to 16x20. They are easy to order remotely using the application you can download from their website. In my most recent visit, I needed to rush order my prints and they were able to get them framed and available for pickup within 48 hours. The quality of prints both times have been professional and clean. In addition, Ive found their staff very helpful and friendly.

I am an amateur photographer and recently had a picture I had taken accepted into an art show. I needed to get a print of it made and wanted to make sure I had a high quality print done. I was told by a friend to go here and I was not disappointed. Their staff helped me get the print made and it didnt take longer than a few days for it to be ready. I felt the pricing was reasonable as well.

I have gone here to make birth announcements, wedding shower invitations, and now wedding invitations. I give them a template and photos and they make them look absolutely beautiful! They helped me pick the perfect font, perfect paper (never realized paper made such a difference) and they edit the pictures perfectly. They are very cost effective for all the work that goes in to the invitations and everyone I know has been impressed with their work. I will definitely continue using this company.

If you are a photographer in Salt Lake, you really need to get to know Nichols Photo Lab. They are one of the few labs left in the valley that develop film in-house, has a quick turnaround, and consistently deliver superior results. They also handle all my large printing jobs for me. Thanks guys!!

She does amazing work & I am so grateful I have her as a friend. Amber has designed my Christmas cards for years. She is amazing to work with & bends over backwards to make sure I love the finished product. Love love these guys!!!

I love Nichols. Everyone here is so kind and are really invested in what they do. It is clear they have a passion for their clients and take the time to work with each individual that enters their store. I can easily say my presence here is always wanted and very personable. They treat me like family and the feeling is mutual.

What I would call a high end old school photo lab. They have film! They develop film onsite. They have digital printing, wet and dry film process printing, and more. I have used their services and have been impressed every time. Specialty printing is also available. They print high school pictures too. Really anything you want to do, theyll do it. Wall sized pictures, custom mounted frames, this is the place for every printing need.

Review №56

I owe these people my life! I called in a panic about 5 minutes before they were going to close on Friday, desperate to have a large order of prints made by Saturday morning. While they dont normally print on Saturdays, they told me theyd be able to do that for me, which was a tremendous relief. The employee who was in the lab on Saturday did a wonderful job printing them, and he had them ready for me to pick up even earlier than expected. I was nervous about the color, since I didnt have time to order any proofs before having the full run printed, but they turned out perfect and were exactly what I needed. The price was more than fair, and they didnt even charge me extra for the (very) rushed order. You folks are the salt of the earth, I cant thank you enough! I strongly recommend Nichols for anyone who needs to have high-quality prints produced.

I am a semi-professional photographer that just moved to the area and took a gamble choosing Nichols to print a photo for a client. I was not disappointed! Everything from the order process to the finished product was professionally handled, and most importantly the print came out with perfect tone and color. I will definitely be using Nichols as my photo lab from here on out.

Review №62

As a professional photographer I go to Nichols Photo Lab because they do high quality professional prints. I have had a few people think that it is too much because they can get it done at a big box store or club store that will go unnamed but they quality of work at Nichols is so much better it isnt even funny. If you want a professional print go here. If you want a poor quality print you can go somewhere else. Further, Nichols can still develop film and they have great experience in it as well. your main local place for photography. You can also get prints done if you are out of state. It might not be as fast as a photo printing kiosk but you dont rush art.

Review №68

My experience with Nichols photo lab has been very poor. I have used them a few times to develop and scan my rolls of film. Dont get me wrong, they can do that well. I am happy with the quality of my scans. However they seems like a very disorganized company. There was one time I got a call 6 MONTHS after a roll of film was developed telling me that it wasnt paid for? They had my card on file so I assumed it was taken care of. It happened again recently when they charged me double on my last roll because apparently they forgot to charge me for the roll before that? It is annoying being notified months later that something you thought was paid for actually isnt. I have decided I will not be using them any more.

Do not use this lab for 120 rolls. Sloppy careless work. Got four rolls back with scratches and holes in the last frame from clips/weights. Called the lab when i noticed. Technician claimed I loaded the film into the camera incorrectly (I did not, the film and camera have specific registration marks for this purpose.) No apology, and would take no responsibility.

Review №88

Gone are the days of the 1-hour photo lab. What a shame it is to scramble all over the valley just to find a place to develop photos. Ive had my eye on Nichols for a good 6 or 7 months but never made the time to slide in and get my photos processed.I made a huge mistake last year. I took all of my Moab vacation photos on 35mm and got them done at Walgreens. I had good luck with them in the past, but as soon as they told me that they were shipping my film off to be processed I got a bit nervous. 10 days later, I get my prints back with no negatives! The prints looked like muddy hot garbage and all of my photos were ruined.I learned from my mistakes. I took my latest batch to Nichols to have them processed as I didnt have the materials to do it myself. I was happy with their services and it only costed me around 7 bucks to get two rolls processed! Excellent price! I cant comment on the quality of the prints as I only got the negatives processed (I have a film negative scanner at home so I didnt really need prints). The photos that they had up on the walls looked really great though.Although it took a whole day and nobody called me to tell me my film was ready (I called them the next day) I was still very happy with the outcome. Its sad that it is so hard to find a place who still develops 35mm film so I have a lot of respect for Nichols keeping the spirit of film alive. Ill be coming back when I am out of supplies at home and need my photos asap.
