    I am only sharing my experience in hopes they treat returning customers better in the future. I have been an always on time customer for a year now and was disappointed in the way the owner performed service today. I had stuff to take care of out of town and had bad luck with traffic due to coming from LA. I communicated to the staff by text message about my ETA to assure I can still be seen. Was told they charge $5 fee for being late but then they said $15 then $10. So I asked if I could just reschedule to not burden their schedule. (My appointment was at 5pm which is the latest with no one after me). I was informed I had to do it 48 hours in advance and would lose my $30 deposit and would need to put another one to reschedule. Which I can understand if I was a person who was late before in the past, but this was my first time ever. I expressed my disappointment to them, and was told I would get a one time exception to pay a $5 late fee if I wanted to still come today. So I went because I would be mad if they made me pay another deposit. The girl I scheduled couldn't do my hands , she had to pick her kid up. I understood, owner ends up doing my nails, She wanted to remove the prior nail bed down completely, when I only needed the surface removed to remove the color. I declined and asked nicely if she can just sand off the color. She did but then never applied new gel to my out grown nail bed. She misunderstood what I was asking for and only painted a coat over it and then went straight to the color. I asked to clarify before adding the color, and she said it wouldn't be needed because of saying I like my nails thin ‍ again me trying to be understanding and not making her fix it I just said ok, but asked if the price was gonna be different since I wasn't getting applied new retention and she straight said "no its the same price " which just made me more disappointed. Not only am I getting a late fee but also a half done manicure. I don't think I'll be returning again. I would hope they would treat returning, on time customers with grace. It was horrible and awkward to want to go back and it's such a shame because I truly appreciated their work. **In response to the owner: No, I was not 40 mins late. I was 30 mins late and you charged me $55 for a half done manicure that chipped in 1 day. I've updated my review from 2 stars to 1 after seeing you lie in your reply. Shame on you**

    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!

    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.

    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)

    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%.

    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. :)

    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 continue to be a loyal client at Gelly bar. New team members continue to show detail, skill and artistic work

    I was able to make an appointment to fix the lifting and Phoebe did a great job addressing my concerns. I haven't had any other issues since and have gotten so many compliments on my nail. Definitely interested in trying them again and hopefully no issues the second time. I really liked their designs and the store was very clean.

    One Plus Nail *April 25th, 2026…read more*9:30am- Saturday *2.5 Stars Environment: *Large Parking Lot*Crowded *Quick Service *Online Appointment Availability I hadn't been here in a while, but decided to come back since I usually remember them having pretty solid service for a decent price. My sister and I went for gel manicures for her birthday, and we made an appointment ahead of time (which ended up being really helpful since there were about 10 people waiting when we arrived). Since we had an appointment, we got seated right away. I showed my nail tech my inspiration photo on my phone, and she got started pretty quickly. She was nice, but the whole service felt pretty rushed. At times she didn't even let the UV gel finish curing before asking me to take my hand out so she could move on to the next coat. I also added chrome for an extra $15, and while she did take time to make sure it covered most of the nails, I noticed later there were still some missed spots. The overall application also felt a bit uneven, and the gel looked really thick (almost more like a builder gel than a standard gel manicure). Looking at my nails from the side, the thickness seems more noticeable than previous times that I've had them done here. I'm not sure if it was from extra layers or how the gel was applied, but it didn't feel as clean as past visits. Overall, it was okay for the price and convenience, but I definitely left feeling like the attention to detail wasn't quite there this time.

    I've had good experiences at this salon before, which is why I was surprised by this visit. My…read moreregular technician was unavailable, and I was assigned to someone else recommended by the manager. Unfortunately, the service quality was concerning -- the filing caused noticeable discomfort, the curing process under the lamp was unusually hot, and the gel was applied onto the surrounding skin rather than cleanly along the nail edges. After only three days, the manicure has already started chipping along the edges, which raises concerns about both technique and product application. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously and ensures better consistency and training across technicians.

    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.
