Mimi is TERRIBLE at lashes!!! Never come hear for lashes! She have you uncomfortable. She apply them wrong! They fall off in 3days! When I get mines done in Minnesota it last for 2 weeks! So I went back to Mimi showed her my eye she had a complete attitude! Girl stick to nails! Lashes ain't your specialty for sure! Never coming here again Read Less

I brought my daughter to get her nails done. Place looked dirty. We would have walked out but we were already there and she needed her nails done for an event. Staff was rude. The guy started talking on his cell phone as he was working on her nails! Got the gel nails and they lasted 8 days when they started falling off. Will NEVER go back. Read Less

I read the bad reviews and I truthfully can't understand why? Ive been going to this shop for 8 years and ive never had a problem. I give them a design and they make it so much cuter. I really like this nail place. Read Less

They don't even qualify for the one star that Im giving! Very rude, unprofessional, and inconsiderate. If you value your hard earned money dont just give it away to anyone, especially not GEL NAILS!!! Won't ever go back!!! Read Less

I wanted to like this place because the location is so convenient for me. I went in for a wax. They were very quick and it was only $10 but I guess you get what you pay for. I came home to look and how smooth and hairless my skin was and it was not. I had so many long hairs left that should have been so easy to remove but I had to tweeze them myself. Pretty disappointed. My quest continues for an affordable and quality location. Read Less

I wanted to try a new place so I stopped in on a Saturday around noon. I should've known something was off when there was no wait during one of the busiest times for a nail salon. Went in for a pedi & mani. First, I bought my own polish & they tried to charge me $15 extra saying the polish I bought was no chip, & it wasn't. So I go buy another polish next door. The guy who did my pedi did a terrible job. I had to show him the spots he was missing, multiple times. Then he tried to only put 1 coat of polish on. Also, the tools laid out for my pedi were rusted & previously used. I had to ask for new ones. I should've left at this point, but I hoped the mani would go better. The guy doing my mani tried to used that mechanical nail file on my real nails, which I hate because it thins my nails so much. Had to tell him no. Then he continues with my mani & it's looking not so bad. He shaped my nails pretty well. But he didn't treat/shape my cuticles. Then when applying my overlay he made my nails very thick. If you're a fan of that cool, but I'm not. Overall I give them 2 stars because they were fast, somewhat friendly, and the prices weren't too high. But the service was subpar. Read Less

Mimi didn't give me a proper manicure. She buffed my nails down a little and then just started applying the nails and acrylic. My nails for one are extremely sore. I had to take a Tylenol when I got home. I went in there wanting an American manicure. My nails are lumpy, uneven, very unnatural looking. She ruined my nails for prom. I received a good pedicure. That is all Read Less

I went on lunch since it is near work for me and I knew I wouldn't have time over the weekend to get a no-chip mani. I appreciated the fast, friendly, courteous and clean salon! I will definitely be going back! I even showed the ladies at my office and have a few who will go try Gel and Nails next week or with me in 2 weeks! Read Less

The guy that did my nails charged me $38 but only wrote $35 in the notebook that they write in (which means he took a tip).. The finished product was horrible! My nails were SUPER THICK. So I calmed the next day and called because my nails were horrible. I spoke with the manager and turns out he was the one the did my nails ..smh.. This place was the absolute worse nail salon ever. I wouldn't recommend to my worse enemy!!!! " Read Less

Spent way more than it was worth. Horrible shaping barely any English so even tho i showed a pic of what i wanted it didn't end up like that at all. Did no cuticle work at all and didn't even put the acrylic all the way to the end of my nail. Just like the McDonald's of nail salons. My daughter even had her nails done and her square shape didn't even turn out good. No way will i be back Read Less

This nail salon is the worst! They're overpriced and horrible horrible customer service! Then they rush on your nails just to get you in and out! Then they sit and talk about their customers. They assume we can't understand the language but my friend could. Very sloppy work. Very unsatisfied customer Read Less

Horrible experience! I came in thinking I was going to leave out with a freshly done pedicure, but my feet actually looked much better before I walked in. My feet soaked for exactly 18 minutes before someone came over and took care of me.(I actually didn't mind that part ). Once the woman started the pedicure her regular walked in (I'm assuming) and tapped her on the back. She immediately rushed and missed multiple steps. She also cut a horrible shape and rounded the edges .I told the manager and they "tried" fixing it, but it still looked horrible Read Less

Their price menu includes gel nails but they don't offer actual GEL nail services. Their version of gel nail nail is acrylic with gel top coat you can still get that by asking for a regular acrylic set and not paying out $10 more for a set that isn't true gel nails Read Less

The only reason they are even getting 1 star is because the man that did my pedicure did a good job. Now the man who did my over lay did a HORRIBLE job!!!! He filed my nails so hard , he actually took the side of my nail off on 2 different nails!!! I then showed him and asked him is there any way he could fix it cause now my nail looks sideways , he then told me no and got attitude. So I asked if the other guy can finish my nails off and he said fine u tell him what you want. When the other guy starts doing my nails he doesn't even know English to understand my problem so let's just say my nails look HORRIBLE. I am so upset that he actually took my real nail OFF!!!! I HAVE NEVER WROTE A REVIEW IN MY LIFE BUT I WAS BEYOND DISAPPOINTED IN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE! THEY DIDN'T EVEN SAY SORRY OR GIVE ME A DISCOUNT FOR DOING WHAT THEY DID! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!! Read Less

Ive been here a number of times. Its real hit or miss. The environment is clean.  The equiptment is sterilized.  The prices are good, not too expensive.  Its best to go there early in the week and early afternoon. When they have time and its not busy, the service and nails are quality. If the they are busy, they do a quick and sloppy job. Read Less

I'm in town needing a touch up on my current french-tip manicure so I found this spot on yelp. A young man with high-lights in his hair took me immediately! I explained that I wanted a color change/touch up on my manicure and one big toe (I know...strange, but the polish was chipped and it was not a good look)! He finished my big toe then moved on to my nails. I noticed that he wasn't doing a thorough job so I had to ask him to repaint about 4 nails, especially the corners! He willingly fulfilled my request without incident, however, i was charged $9 for the repaint and one toe (a color change is usually $5) !! to add injury to insult, by the end of the next day, 6 of the 11 nails painted were chipped (all fingers)!!!! Needless to say, I will not be returning, despite the nice customer service! Read Less

worst nail experience ever. even after going back for a redo, im completely dissatisfied. also, not only was the work done of poor quality, i noticed theyre not very sanitary at all. the tools used were put right back in the drawer they came from with no disinfecting & the left over acetone i soaked my hands in, went back in the bottle. gross. never again. Read Less

Gel and nails is the name of this place. It was a Friday evening and I wanted to get a manicure and pedicure. I called ahead of time to schedule an appointment (no need to).Walked in. Was greeted and seated very quickly. The person who took care of me was a young male who did a great job. I paid $32 dollars for a Mani and pedi. Good prices. Friendly staff. Quick turn around. Will go again. Read Less

I love Gel Nails, it's the only place I go. I have been to pretty much every nail salon in the Hammond, IN area and this one is the cleanest, nicest and most friendly, by far. I would and do recommend Gel Nails to all my friends. They deserve a shout-out. And...they usually have specials all the time, like, Mon-Weds $20.00 spa pedicure. That's a great price for the service... Read Less

I stumbled across 'Gel Nails" (don't know why it's listed as as Gelanlis Nails on here..) after a random trip to Hammond's Village Discount Thrift Store (yes, Indiana is so other-wordly for this Chicagoan that it merits special 'trips" to! lol). Low and behold, the greatest nail shop I've ever been to! From the outside it looks a little janky (it's also located in the same plaza of a Wal-Mart and an abandoned but still operating Carson Pirie Scott!) but Gel Nails is fixed up really nice on the inside! Marble floors, tasteful decorations, extremely clean, and VERY friendly AND professional staff. Their prices are decent and what I love ABSOLUTELY most about this place is that for every client they use a new, and completely sterlized nail implement kit. You can see their UV sterilzers in the back and you know it's sterilized because they take it out of this plastic baggy thing that's sealed shut after every implement is cleaned. Kind of like MEDICAL grade sterilization. Nail shops are PRIME feeding grounds for dangerous bacterial spores and I'm so glad that Gel Nails takes infection control very seriously and delivers a great manicure and pedicure experience (think: super high tech pedicure chairs that deliver amazing massages, hot towels with your service, and this really cool thing that warms up the lotion they use on you!).Hit up Mimi or Frankie for your service! Love those two! They also have a Customer Appreciation Card that gives you a discount on your 5th service! :DGel Nails would have gotten 5 stars if they carried OPI products, but they don't. Step your game up, guys! You're ONE star away from being the BEST! Check them out, they're TOTALLY worth the drive from Chicago! Read Less
