    My favorite nail studio ever I've been coming here since they first opened on Amar Rd, and I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. I've had appointments with just about every nail tech here, and every single one has been incredibly talented, hardworking, and attentive. They always listen to what I want while also offering helpful suggestions when I'm unsure. What really keeps me coming back is the retention on my Gel-X nails. No other salon has come close. My sets regularly last 5+ weeks, and the longest I've pushed them was 6 weeks because I couldn't get an appointment sooner. Not a single nail popped off! That alone speaks volumes about the quality of their work. The team is always so sweet and welcoming, and the salon itself is cute, clean, and comfortable. I also love whatever they have playing on the TV,it definitely helps pass the time when I'm getting more detailed nail art done . They're booked out for a reason! I almost want to gatekeep this place because it's that good, but they truly deserve all the love and support. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality nails that actually last.

    Pink chrome on natural nails, 3 weeks later
    Ellen C.

    This review is for Stephanie! Although I asked for a simple design (pink chrome on natural nails), she really took her time to make sure every step of the procedure was done perfectly. It's been almost two weeks since I got them done, and they are still holding very well with no issue and I love looking at them every time! Will return 100%.

    I've been wanting to take off my Gel X nails for a while, and I'm so glad I found Gelly Bar. Angel truly understood what I wanted--growing out my natural nails while still keeping them looking clean and polished. She was super detailed, asking about shape (oval vs. almond), length, and exactly how I wanted them. The result came out even better than I expected! They also have a great selection of colors for that natural look. Highly recommend if you're transitioning away from Gel X and want your real nails to look amazing. I'll definitely be back! -K (I share the account with my Hubby)

    I had been a client here for about a year and previously had good experiences with the service itself. I always arrived on time, tipped consistently, and was reasonable during appointments. I communicated my preferences politely and trusted the technician's recommendations. This appointment was with a technician I had only recently started seeing. During the appointment, I mentioned that chrome has tended to lift on me in the past. The technician reassured me that she would make sure it would not happen. After this visit, I tried to book another appointment via text but was informed that I would no longer be able to book with them and that they may not be the best fit for the style and level of detail I was looking for. This was unexpected, as I had never expressed dissatisfaction with their work, argued over services, requested refunds, or asked for reworks. I was also never made aware of any concerns during previous appointments and did not experience any issues at the time of service. I have even referred others during my time as a client. I would have appreciated being informed during the appointment if there were any concerns regarding fit or expectations, rather than finding out abruptly when I needed another appointment. This felt disappointing given my prior experience as a regular client over the past year. UPDATE: Since posting this review, the chrome has begun lifting despite my having specifically mentioned concerns about chrome longevity during the appointment.

    This was my second time visiting. My nail technician Christie did an amazing job on my nails -- she was detail-oriented, professional, and made sure everything looked perfect. My brother's nail technician, Phoebe, was also wonderful and did an excellent job.The little hand-painted cat paw prints are absolutely adorable, and my chrome nails are so shiny they look like little light bulbs! We're all completely obsessed with them. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and they even provided sparkling water, which was such a thoughtful touch. We both love our nails and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    5 1/2 weeks nail retention
    Alexxis Q.

    Look at that nail retention! 5 1/2 weeks of my gelx nails never breaking up with my natural nails! I'm very cautious with who I allow to work on my natural nails because of previous bad experiences. My intuition was telling me that Gelly Bar is the nail salon to go to and as well as their art work. Look! I was right! I'm happy to have made that appointment with Christie! Christie was precise and caring. Throughout my appointment and every step, she asked for my opinion and critiques. I sincerely appreciate her. Not to mention, she made me feel comfortable and provided me with a beverage.

    Updated Review: Due to my previous review, Phoebe from Gelly Bar Nail Studio had reached out apologizing for the negative experience I had when I had gotten my nails done. I was unaware that they offer a 10-day guarantee for any nail set and if I had known, I would have definitely gone back and got my nails retouched. Due to the length of time; instead she had offered me a free gel manicure with a cat eye design as a makeup service or a $50 refund. I went ahead and accepted the refund as their nail salon is a little bit far from me, but I truly appreciated her kind gesture. It really seems that they care for each and every one of their customers considering that they did their best to makeup for my negative experience. I really did appreciate Phoebe reaching out to me as it shows her professionalism and care for the business. Due to their customer service, I'm sure one day I'll definitely give Gelly Bar Nail Studio a second try when I'm out in their direction! Again, I truly did love my design and it came out super cute so I'd love to have similar nails again. :)

    Loved my new nails today! Amy did an incredible job being precise and asking me exactly what I wanted. She was open about the cost and was clear about what she was doing. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for another lovely set of nails!

    gel blush nails with star design! done by amy :^)
    Courtney T.

    I randomly found Gelly Bar on yelp and I could not be happier! This is hands down the best nail salon I've ever been to! Amy was so thorough and meticulous with my nails. I could really tell she cared about how the nails looked and how comfortable I was! Everyone in the salon was so polite and it was very comfortable (great ac and they had a movie playing!) I highly recommend this place! I will definitely be coming back :^)

    Nails by Coco  (short almond, gel-x extensions, cat eye)
    Nancy A.

    I honestly wish I could give more than five stars! I've been coming to this nail salon for about 4-5 visits now and it's been a great experience every single time. Coco is go-to, and she is absolutely amazing. She is patient , incredibly talented and takes so much pride in her work. I usually show her pics and she gets it spot on without missing a detail. Her attention to detail is next level. I always get Gel-X extensions, and they last me a solid 4 to 5 weeks honestly, they'd probably last even longer if I didn't come in for a fresh set! That kind of longevity says a lot about the quality of her work and the products that they use. The salon itself is clean, quiet and super relaxing. They usually have a movie playing, which I really appreciate such a nice little touch that makes the whole experience even better. Compared to other salons that can be always near chaotic, this one is calm and peaceful, which makes all the difference. All the ladies there seem to do amazing work from what I've seen, and everyone is always really friendly and welcoming. Bonus points for the location it's in a plaza with tons of parking so getting in and out is always easy. I highly, highly recommend Gelly Bar Nail Studio if you're looking for top tier nails in a quiet and professional setting.

    My go to nails place hands down. I've moved back and forth from IE, LA, and OC and will travel to Phoebe no matter what. She really is an artist and great business owner who cares about the quality she puts out. Highly highly recommend for anyone who's looking to grow their natural nails or just anyone else who loves a good gel x manicure.

    I've been coming to this nail salon for a couple of years now, and my most recent nail tech,…read moreMichelle, did such a great job on my Gel-X set! I spend around $100 ish here doing the gel x mani and also some designs at times. I've been really into the Hailey Bieber chrome look, usually the white pearl, and this time I tried a pink pearl instead and loved how it turned out. My sets with Michelle have lasted me over 42 days, which is honestly impressive. Once my nails grow out again, I'll most likely be coming back to her. Michelle is calm, patient, listens to what I want, and also gives helpful recommendations when I'm deciding what to do. The salon itself is pretty clean, and I've noticed a sanitizing station near the restroom, which is reassuring. So far I haven't had any issues during the years I've been coming here. Bonus: there's a Paris Baguette right next door, which is perfect when you're hungry after sitting through a 2+ hour nail appointment Grab a little treat afterward!

    I normally try not to write negative reviews however, this one I did need to bring up considering…read morethat I apparently am not the only one that this has happened to. I went in for a gel manicure and pedicure appointment on April 12, 2026. My first experience with them was wonderful so I decided to book again. This time instead of calling in I used the online appointment system. I clicked the techs I wanted and it was confirmed on the screen I would be serviced by them. I also added an appt for my husband a few days before my appt online and got online confirmation that we would be serviced at the same time. Day of the appt I got a text saying my tech would be late. I said that's fine and I would send my husband in to keep his earlier appt. They then told me that the online system was incorrect. We got to the salon and while my husband was getting his service, I was told my tech was booked and I would be with someone else. I told them I got online confirmation of the tech id be with, they said it was wrong. This is where it all went downhill. I don't even remember the girl's name but I was ensured she would do a good job. I don't get mani/pedi often so I was looking forward to this. She used an efile on my nails and, like a few other comments, filed my nails so thin that a couple broke in their parking lot. She didn't really speak to me because she could tell I was frustrated at the miscommunication and was also told by the front desk to call next time if I want a particular tech. This option shouldn't be available online if it doesn't work. My nails started to burn that when she finished cleaning my cuticles I cancelled the rest of the appointment. I was contacted by the salon to try to make things better, which I appreciate, however it shouldn't have come to this in the first place. Needless to say, here we are 5/20 and I have not gone back. My nails are still so brittle that you can visible see where the nail was filed down vs the new growth. The nail on my left pinky is lifting so I have to be extra careful with it. I really thought I found my new shop because it's much closer. My old nail spot has been servicing me for 20+ years so looks like I'll be making the trip back there.
