Absolutely LOVE Gel Nails Spa! My mom and I have been coming for about 6 years now and the staff is always friendly and attentive. I was always specific about getting gel on my nails because they lifted so easily for me. Not once has my gel lifted or peeled when I've come to them as they prep and remove the gel so nicely without damaging my natural nail underneath. They also do cute designs and are reasonably priced. Love this business!

I'm loving my new dip powder chrome nails! The color is 800 Ruby, plus chrome. The ladies at Gel Nails Spa always do a great job!

Great value for the service you pay for! They have been here for quite some time now and are super accommodating! I typically have Julie do my nails but all their nail techs are amazing! Highly recommend.

I've been a long time supporter of this establishment and have introduced many friends to be patrons here. As of my most recent visit, I will no longer be returning. During a basic manicure appointment, my manicurist was rushing and stabbed my cuticles multiple times with her nail tool. This resulted in injuries to my cuticles (see blue circles) where they hurt upon touching and alcohol spraying that was part of the service. I asked for a specific color and when the nail bottle brought over was not at all what I required, the manicurist tried to convince me the color was right. I had to put my foot down to ask for a switch. This entire experience was frustrating and with the price increase, I will be looking elsewhere for future nail needs.

An entire wall of polishes to choose from

We've been coming in here for years because of their consistency with quality performance and exceptional customer services. We've tried other places when we're out of town, but nobody can give a manicure, gel nails, or pedicure like this business does. I've seen them do other services with nails too. I'd highly recommend Gel Nails!

BEST pedicure I've had in the bay (and i've tried a lot of places). They really take the time to be precise.

Julie is a really great with executing my requests. I get dip with design and she is time efficient and detail oriented. Usually when I get dip, it feels really thick and chunky, but she does a good job at keeping them natural looking.

i have avoided this place for about a year now and recently decided to give it another chance and went back Saturday (07/20) to get a manicure for a wedding i was attending Sunday (07/21). I made an appointment for 11AM , per their availability, all i did was ask for a morning appointment. I got there right at 11AM, and they were BUSY - every seat was full.! I was not seated till about 11:20AM. Another woman experienced a similar waiting situation, she was more vocal about her frustration. I got a french manicure and didn't realize how horrible it was till Sunday and then Monday somehow worst. They've not only begun to chip and peal , the white tip is now BROWN. (see pictures) They have a lovely and clean shop but sadly , i will no longer be a customer and going elsewhere for my nails.

I'm so glad I decided to come here on a whim! Everyone that works here is super nice and accomodating! Someone greets you when you walk in and everyone is attentive and efficient when it comes to serving their next clients. They are very detailed about their work here. I'm always asked if I liked my nails/want to change anything before moving on to the next steps. This definitely helps me in case I change my mind about something at any time during the process. They work efficiently without compromising their work, and I've left happy with my nails every single time. They can get pretty busy though and their waiting area is small. It can get a little cramped in that area but they have some outdoor seating to minimize crowding. TIP: They do accept walk-ins, but I highly recommend calling ahead in case they are booked for the day. Even with calling ahead and being given a time, you may still wait an extra 15-20 minutes there depending on how busy they are.

I've been getting my manicures/pedicures done by David and Lisa for years! They are so detailed with their work and truly give the best hand and foot massages ever! They take the best care of their clients, they don't rush, they take their time and make you feel special. I'm spoiled by their work and when I try other places they just don't compare. I will continue to be a customer of theirs as long as I live in this area! read more

Shop has an excellent selection of polishes and MOST IMPORTANT to me is when they remove gel, they do in such a way that it doesn't thin my nails compared to every shop I have gone to - thus I can wear gel polish without taking a break. Two annoyances - (1) despite an appointment, they are always running late without fail and (2) give you gilt if you don't pay in cash - ugh. read more

While my nails look fantastic and I am extremely happy about the way they came out and thankful for all of the hard work they put into them, the way they take off acrylics is lazy and cutting corners. They pried them off my fingers even when they were extremely still adhered to my nail. I woke up today with such sore nails from the lady wedging an acrylic tip under my nail and pulling them off without any soaking in acetone, any pressure on my nail hurts today. Not to mention that also when this was happening I genuinely felt tears in my eyes because this is painful. I am very happy and pleased with my nails, but I really don't know if I can ever get a new set put on here again without feeling like my nails are going to be weakened and damaged. I don't want to wake up from a mostly leisurely and expensive nail appointment to nails that hurt so bad. I think I will only be coming back here for acrylic fills. read more

Note: I had originally left two stars b/c a couple of the women working were cheerful in demeanor. I am now downgrading it to one star b/c of the inappropriate, inaccurate response from the employee/owner. See my update below if you're curious. Lol. They don't honor appointments, so if you schedule one don't expect it to be on time ( and I don't mean five minutes-- I mean at least 15-30 mins late). If you're walking by and you'd like to get squeezed in and you have lots of time flexibility then it's (maybe) okay in a pinch. Do not come here if you expect to have your time honored. Other than that it's just a basic "chop shop." (No quality polishes or organic treatments, etc., and they are still using the auto sink bowls without disposable linings, not possible to disinfect, etc). Super odd experience. Never had this happen before at a nail shop when I made an advance appt. My girlfriend mentioned this as well, so she doesn't go there, I'm new to the area so I wasn't aware beforehand. The only reason for the some high reviews I imagine is due to cheap prices. **Updating quickly to the dishonest response below: I was five mins late, not seven--not that this even matters? If anything it shows I should've been helped immediately to keep things running smoothly. (BTW if the salon was only 5 mins or even 10 mins behind that would be reasonable to me, 20-30 minutes is unacceptable--also if you view other reviews, even those who left more stars, they mention time management problems here--I unfortunately didn't read this beforehand! Wish I had). I was there waiting for about 5-10 minutes, plenty of time to see the environment of the small salon, types of pedicure bowls, products in the carts, and view the polishes they used. I did express politely when I noticed it was going to be a while, that I hoped to be finished around 6 which was a completely reasonable request had my appointment time had been honored, or at least been 5-10 mins within it (I also didn't expect a full pedicure, no massage, etc., so around 40 mins or even 30 mins is a reasonable expectation for a very quick exfoliation, buffing and polish with no extras, but whatever) . It was clear since there was no available station available and from what the employee told me, it would be a while. Additionally, when making the appointment I specifically asked, are you sure you have that time available (b/c I was in a time crunch) --if not I would have went somewhere else, and will obvs do that in the future. Nothing I can do about bad business practices. Just trying to give people a heads up and be helpful. Again, this place probably works in some instances for some people; everyone has different expectations and standards. read more

Walked in today (Thursday) at around 2:30pm without an appointment for a gel manicure and was able to be seen right away. Anh did a FANTASTIC job with my manicure. She shaped my nails beautifully and took her time to carefully and precisely apply each coat of gel. I know it's hard to see in the photos but she even put a thin coat of shimmer on top and I could not be happier. This is one instance where my impulsiveness paid off! My manicure cost $31 and took about 35 minutes from start to finish. They also have a punch card system, where after 10 punches you get a discount. This place is really clean, the employees are very friendly and professional, and my nails look excellent. Come here; you won't be disappointed! read more

I am so happy that David and Lisa have a new spot in Lafayette! I have been seeing them for several years since they took over at Deena's nails 6+ years ago and missed them terribly in the interim. Prior to having my baby (now toddler), I saw David and Lisa every three weeks for a gel manicure and pedicure. They are truly the most amazing people and always remember me and what is going on with my life. Don't we all love to feel that special? :) They not only have found a great location, that is brand new and beautiful with super comfortable chairs, they have competitive prices and always treat you like you are the most important client! The service is consistently excellent. Perfection at its finest and the massages are the best part...I swear each time it seems longer and longer!! Go see David and Lisa.

Gel Nails Spa in Lafayette has been my go-to nail salon for 3+years. I have had such a positive experience here, I would highly recommend it to anyone. I tend to ask for fairly intricate designs, and Luna is always up for the craziest things that my two daughters and I throw at her. I get dip on my real nails with gel color and designs over it, and it usually lasts me about three weeks (and my nails grow very quickly). The dip is always thin enough to not feel like I'm wearing anything, but thick enough to be durable and last weeks through cooking and swimming and life in general. I am fairly boring with my pedicures - I just get regular polish on my real nails to match my mani - but they last and all the manicurists really spend a lot of time cleaning my nails and feet and making sure I don't have any ingrowns, which is key to a good pedi. I very highly recommend this salon, and Luna in particular, for a beautiful mani/Pedi experience to anyone who wants beautiful, sturdy nails for weeks! read more

I've been every month for over a year and the first few appointments were great and I loved my nails. Over time I liked them less, but I didn't want to put in the effort to find a new salon just yet. But over time I noticed the tech I would always book with seemed inconvenienced to do my nails. I do understand they work hard which is why I tipped 20% everytime, even if I didn't love them, and I was polite and appreciative. Secondly my nails kept breaking super low, even though the gel is supposed to make them sturdier. Now after going to a new salon, I realize it's because she was making them too thick which was causing stress to the nails. Also, they've pushed my appointment back 3 times, and once even moved me to Walnut Creek. And while they called to ask, there was never a courtesy discount or credit offered even though they were inconveniencing me. Yet when I asked to change my color the last time I was there, they didn't have time for that, and they hadn't even applied the color yet. Also, they advertise "flawless nails" yet the times I've asked if something could be fixed they get irritated and gaslight you. I had chrome and I discovered bubbles which I called and asked to be fixed, especially because it's an upcharge. When I got there, they acted like they couldn't see the bubbles. Another time I got a red and the polish came off the tips in about 4 days. When I went back the receptionist had the same color and showed me hers were chipping too and blamed it on the polish. I asked her how long she had it and she said 3 weeks and laughed, so how is that the same as 4 days?? And if the polish is poor quality why have it as an option. When the tech touched up my nails she was clearly pissed and rough with my nails. I think the final straw was them telling me I would need to pay $40 more for single color because my nails are considered long and take more time. While I do understand that, designs are 120/125 and are allocated 2 hours, yet I'd have to pay $140 for single color? Yeah, no thanks. I regret being too lazy to find a new salon sooner.

She took her time trimming my cuticles back and applying the base, gel polish, and top coat. A full hour of Feruza's work resulted in my best manicure ever!

It's a fairly large salon so I was seated immediately when I arrived, even though I was about 25 min early. Ngan did my manicure. I could not believe the selection available for dip powders! I almost couldn't decide I had so many colors to choose from!The only issue I had was that I asked for square with round edges but she kept making them almond. I think it was probably because most people get that shape. When I pointed it out, she quickly fixed it so everything was fine. When my nails were done, they looked beautiful! I was so happy with the results. Ngan did a great job. I read somewhere that mimosas were given so I was looking around to see if anyone was drinking any but alas, I didn't see anyone. I was a little disappointed but that's just me trying to be extra, lol. I also would have loved to have my hands and arms massaged but I guess that's also only done at some salons. Despite that, I will definitely be back as the prices are reasonable, the salon is clean and safe, the technicians are friendly, and my nails look great.

I even brought my daughter here for her prom nails, which makes this harder to write. At my most recent visit, I had an appointment and was already mid-service, with hands and feet soaked, when a walk-in customer arrived and wanted to sit next to her friend. Instead of asking, the staff moved my belongings and gestured for me to relocate. No explanation. No courtesy. Just an expectation that I would move for someone who came in after me. I would not have minded moving if I had been asked. But being displaced mid-service without a word was dismissive and, frankly, humiliating. I shared this feedback when I paid, but the experience stuck with me. This is not about one seat. It is about how customers are prioritized and treated in real time. That moment was enough for me to decide I will not be returning. I hope the owners take a step back and reflect. Basic respect and consistency in how customers are treated should not vary depending on who walks through the door.

Gel nail spa is actually the best. Came with my friend to get some christmas nails and the staff were so patient in making sure we were happy with the results. The employees are so talented and kind. They are friendly and ensure you have the best nail salon experience. Luna especially is AMAZING at designs. A real artist. The place is clean and therapeutic. After past experiences at other salons, I can easily say Gel Nail Spa is the best in the Bay Area. read more
