The Gel Bar Reviews, Prices, Services, Photos

Extremely kind, loved the interactions with everyone there and all the workers seemed happy. I believe my technician was Hidalia and she was so kind and talented.

I’ve been going here since they started in a hair salon down the block. I’m thankful that their quality stayed excellent and their pricing has become more competitive!! Would 10/10 recommend

Love this place. Cal gel manicures last over two weeks with zero chipping. I just have to come in bc of nail growth – and now I pretty much refuse to go anywhere else. Some reviews say it’s expensive but when it lasts twice as long and looks impeccable I don’t mind paying for it. If there is a minor imperfection usually they catch it and correct it before I even have to say anything. Very clean and hygienic. Lots of options for chromes, nail art, velvet, ombré nails etc. The staff is professional and friendly and always makes the repeat customers feel welcome and appreciated.

Vero, Patricia and Kei at The Gel Bar SAVED MY WEDDING! Ok maybe I’m being dramatic, but that’s how important my nails are to me for my special day. I had gotten my nails done the day prior at another specialty nail art salon and they gave me a design that didn’t look anything like the one I asked for. I called The Gel Bar in a frantic state and Kei was able to squeeze me in the next day despite having a full day of clients. They went above and beyond, giving my nails the time they needed. Worth every last penny and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you Vero for your unbelievable artistry and Patricia for moving things around to accommodate me once I arrived. This bride feels very taken care of. I couldn’t be more happy with my bridal nails!

I would not come back for several reasons:
– Inconsistent
I started off with acrylic nails. I called a day ahead asking if they have any service in that area, the lady on the phone stated no. So I come in the next day for pedicure and asked my question again in person and they stated that they have one technician that would be able to help me take it off.
– Hurt & Lack proper tool
Filing down my acrylic nails in a rush cause me a slight amount of pain. When taking off my extension, I thought there would be a specific tool to remove them, but the technician pulled out a MTA Metro card.
When I finished, my nails were filled with the residue.
-lack of communication
This is half my fault. I didn’t not translate my idea properly however there wasn’t an connection in her understanding what I wanted.
-Disclosure of the price
I paid $78.37, I understand it includes (my assumption) gel nails (but what type of gel), nail design, and remove of acrylic.
Pro:
– the decor is comfy and instagramable. Very chic and cute
– their hand mask. Definitely helped my hands. But it would been better if they didn’t cut off the finger part of the mask. Maybe cut off the nail part of the mask.
-bathroom was super clean.
Would I come back? No. This is the first time attending a high end nail salon but I think I’ll go back in visiting my local $22 dollars gel. Also while there, constantly felt like I was judge by those doing my nails. Like not a problem but you can talk about us after we leave. Not there in another language.

I have been coming to Flor since 2006. She is incredibly meticulous and her work lasts for weeks! Not only is Flor’s work incredible, she’s a very kind and lovely person. Highly recommend for both gel and regular polish.
