    Nice purple color! Love it!
    Roz R.

    Nice workers, they are friendly and engaging with me when I got there. They tried to communicate with me when they found out that I am Deaf. They did gestures to me which is very appreciative. I had my nails cleaned and painted colored purple. It's very nice! They gave me nice leg massages. I felt so nice! I gave them good tips. Worth it!

    Haven't been here for a long time and seems like they changed ownerships. Service was ok but the work is sloppy and slow. They also charge a fee to use credit cards as well. Don't think I'll come back.

    My nails which is not bad since I had to pick a simpler design
    Rhitu K.

    I've been to this place a few times. Everytime I've been here I've spend over 3 hours just got a mani and a pedi. And trust me I've never gotten any complicated designs. I had an appointment there on Saturday at 3 and by the time I left the place it was after 6 pm!! I had asked for an abstract kind of design which they said they could do with the gold flakes (see photo) and guess what! They couldn't. They tried at least ten times in my pinky, two of them did and they couldn't do it. I spent over an hour getting nothing accomplished. The lady who did my nails tried really hard and she was the sweetest, we had really nice conversations and she was very very patient. However, the other lady, she might be the owner, tried it too and she was rough and rude. At one point, she just handled my pinky really rough, I could tell she was very frustrated with idk me or the lady who did my nails. They had also quoted additional $30 for the mani which I had agreed to. They wasted their nail polish and time and I also wasted over 3 hours when it should've been not more than an hour long affair. Now, onto the more serious thing. I have a pretty painful toe nail infection. This is not the first time it's happened to me at Gelish but it's the first time I'm posting about it because it's not a coincidence anymore. It's midnight, I'm traveling in a state where they don't have Kaiser (my insurance is with them), and my toe is swollen, infected, and I'm in a lot of pain. This is serious. Not sure if it's a hygiene issue or them clipping my toenails wrong. It's not ok, they will not be getting my business anymore. Also, any time you ask for any design they'll start talking to each other, everyone starts looking at you, and multiple of those ladies come to the table to see wtf is going on. I feel so guilty asking for services that I'm more than willing to pay for. I'm paying you all, why are you judging me? Also on a $98 bill, I paid a $40 tip despite having to waste my whole day there because I didn't want them to feel bad but I'm suffering right now! PS sorry for crusty toe photos

    Nancy did an amazing job on my nails! She was really good at copying my inspiration photo and she was really fast!

    Fall Nails

    Love my fall nails! I always enjoy working with the team at Gelish to come up with fun designs.

    I've been coming to Gelish Nails for about a year and they are wonderful. It doesn't matter which nail tech I get, they all are fantastic. This set was done by Nancy and she is one of the best! Great set for a good price

    I'm never coming here, I basically came for the massage my coworker goes here and she gets a lot of stuff done -I've been here before, but it was really bad this time... I don't usually get pedis that often I just felt like a massage I do my pedis and I have someone else that does my manicure nails from home, but at times I want to got to a shop... these jerks money hungry using the pandemic ---- I got a basic pedi for $35 for "regular" nail polish surprisingly -/- shocker ...go figure after 5 nails polishes I picked they didn't have regular they do it on purpose so your forced to get gel ---so they charge you $15 for gel do my bill was $51 I gave her a $2 tip she would have gotten more if they didn't charge so much glades - if I did go back or to another nail Shop I'll bring my own nail color save me the $15 ‍ zero stars

    Gel Polish with diamond design by Nancy

    Loving my nails. I told Nancy what I wanted and she delivered. Thank you for making my nails pretty! Perfect for Valentine's Day.

    Terrible manicure and pedicure !! If you're looking for cheap nail place with terrible service this is your place! They didn't file my nails out evenly, they left one side looking totally different from eachother (sloppy work)and they painted my nails with globs of nail polish that when it dried it had a bunch of bubbles in it! Awful place to go! Spend some more in a better place and avoid the disaster experience I had!

    Linda R.

    The only reason I give 3 stars is because I understand the owner just have birth 2 weeks ago and she's short on staff so she's there working. But that doesn't mean that you have inexperienced people working as nail technicians. I came in yesterday morning at 10:30am to get a full set and a fill for my mother. The owner told me to sit, wait and pick a color. We waited about 15 mins then both got seated. First I'll tell you, the lady who was doing my nails took 20 mins to cut my nails. Another 20 to file MY REAL NAILS. I told her I was getting a full set. She kept getting up and leaving for like 5 mins at a time. When she started glueing the fake nail onto my real one that took a whole another 20 mins. And she put so much damn glue. That she starts to file it down with the electric filer, burning my natural nails!!! She stopped. And began to add the acrylic. I kid you not. It looked my bumps of hunk all over my nails. It looked like I had mountains on my nails!! After 1hour and like 30 mins of that. Once she finished putting the acrylic. I demanded that the owner stopped working on who's nails she was doing and fix my nails. Then she did and she apologized, saying, sorry, were short staff right now. That's my pedicurist she doesn't know how to do nails. Like wtf. Why would you let her do my nails then? Waste a whole 1hr & 30 mins. To then sit a whole another 30 mins to get them fixed. Ridiculous! I could've waited for an actual licensed nail tech. Instead of sitting and letting a lady burn my finger nails by filing them down so hard and wasting my time!! And I was still charged $70.00 for what, I couldn't even get a 10% discount or something for that horrible service. This is what I get for trying to find a cheaper nail shop. I paid only $30 less than I would've at my regular nail shop to sit an extra 40 mins for nothing. Definitely wont be coming back here!

    I love this shop! Nancy is my technician. She does amazing work! It's hard to find salons offering builder gel manicures. They were a game changer for me (I am very active and am hard on my nails). Builder gel is long lasting and Nancy's never chip. If it weren't for nail outgrowth, my nails stay looking as fresh as the day I left the shop after weeks have past. Nancy takes her time and works hard to please her customers. All the ladies working here are extremely nice. Very friendly! I appreciate how welcome they make me feel upon arrival and when I leave (in addition to how pleased I am with Nancy's work). Visits to Gelish always put me in a good mood. Good vibes and good work! I am a very happy customer! Thank you!!

    Very skillful and professional. She did such a great job. Nice color grapefruit soda. Glitter is very pigment. Thanks Nancy.
    Camille R.

    People there very friendly and welcoming. I heard a lot of great reviews so I decided to give it a chance. Nancy was great. Very accommodating the color I picked was pretty unique looking color not too many other nails salons have this type of peachy coal glitter. Want a different shade of colors this is the place to be.

    Very happy customer. Nancy did my nails & I absolutely loved them. She took her time & was very detail oriented which I loved. I'll definitely be coming back !

Ignore the 30-minute limit--that is for the school kids who try to park in their parking lot. If you are a customer, you're okay to park as long as you need. Anyways, I had to leave another nail salon because they could not honor their 2pm appointment. T Nails took me immediately and started my pedicure as soon as I walked in. It was nice, but the lowest price is $35. I usually don't pay that much for a basic pedicure with regular nail polish, but the Friday before Christmas is not the time to be cheap. My full set took a bit longer to start, but no problem--I got to sit in the comfortable massage chair. I asked for a pink and white full set in an oval shape. He got the nails and color on super fast, but the shaping took forever. While sitting there, I was so upset he was taking so long. After the fact, I now see why he took his time. My nails look amazing and, two weeks later, still look like the first day.

I usually go to Kate or Nikki, but I've also had my nails done by Betty and Amy as well. You can tell that everyone here is very thorough and don't rush and my sets last for a long time and personally, I've never experienced any nails breaking or have been dissatisfied with the service or results. I also love that I don't feel pressured for a certain service or style like I have at other salons and they've even recommended certain colors or add-ons to enhance the vision I'm going for - whether it be a slightly different color to prevent fading or a color that might pop better against my skin. I'm not usually a design girly but here I feel like I can trust Kate and Nikki to try something different that maybe I don't have a specific vision for. I'm not one for super long nails either but the short almond suits my nail beds really well and because of how the staff does my nails, I feel like it isn't bothersome until I need to get a new set. The aesthetic of the salon is super clean and bright, making it feel relaxing and luxurious at the same time. I also feel like the price is pretty reasonable compared to what I've heard other salons charging. Since I started going here I have not regretted it and definitely recommend.

I tried reaching out to them privately through their contact form to show them the photos and ask for a refund on the wax service only, but they never bothered to reply. It's a bummer because the day started out nice, but between the burn, the mark still being there, the nails not lasting, and being ignored regarding the burn, it left a sour taste.
