if I could give a zero I would! I have been a customer here for a while and every time I say why do I go back maybe because its close, three days my nail broke, I go back and they made me sit there for 45 for a broken nail and told me to change my color and asked me to pay for it while they all sat there and talked about me in their language. I couldn't believe they are treating their customers like this. us ladiess want to go to a nail salon to relax not feel like were doing something wrong I will never step a foot in this place I encourage you guys to do so too. save your money Read Less

This place is AMAZING!! I had a gentleman named Tom and he did such a wonderful job! I'm sooo pleased and thankful with the job he did on my nails!! I just moved back home from Boston, and have been trying multiple different salons around my area, and now I FINALLY have found my new nail salon (Gel Polish Bar). I've been to 4 different salons (and each time I had a man work on my nails)- and my nails always came out terrible!! I've just had bad experiences with all the other places I've been too!! BESIDES THIS PLACE! I walked in an hour before they closed (like an A-hole lol) and they were slammed with people. I waited about 15/20 mins before Tom (one or the nail techs) had me sit at his station, (and in my head I'm thinking great another guy doing my nails; theyre gonna come out terrible.) But I was COMPLETELY WRONG! Even with it almost being closing time, he still took his time and ACTUALLY listened to everything I wanted him to do/fix. I am sooo unbelievably impressed with my nails!! I'm so thankful that he took the time and listened so well to what I wanted done to my nails..Other places barley listen to what I ask of them( and usually do the opposite of what I asked them to fix or they tell me "wait till it's done & then you'll like them" -always hate them). But with Tom he made sure I was satisfied with his work; and anything I told him I wanted fixed, he did it right then and there.. and didn't tell me to wait and never end up doing it like previous experiences. I could tell that even though he wanted to get out of work because they were already closed (cause I ended up staying past closing time), that his main goal was for me to be happy and satisfied with my nails! Thank you so much Tom!! You have no idea how much I appreciate the work and time you spent to make sure I was pleased with my nails!! You're the first man I've had do my nails, that I've actually not just like but LOVE! You're an amazing nail artist and I will recommend anyone to go here to get their nails done! Tom at Gel Polish Nails is awesome!!!πŸ’–πŸ’…πŸΌ Thank you Gel Polish Nails, I'm very impressed and can't wait to get my fill next week with you guys! 😊 Read Less

My normal nail place is getting expensive so I decided to try Gel Nail Bar. I will admit that I should've asked them to redo my nails but I didn't have time and also my technician dropped me as soon as another customer came in. The place was not that busy and several of the staff were eating at the stations. The place is cutely decorated but it was not that clean and I didn't see them cleaning out the foot baths between customers. I decided on a spa pedicure and a regular manicure. There were limited color options but I finally found cute colors. I was asked repeatedly if I wanted to do gel manicure that it was better but I kept saying no. I am glad I opted for the cheaper option because my nails came out atrocious. She did a good job on filing and shaping my nails but then just applied cream no massage and didn't wipe off the cream before starting the polish. Not sure if they thin out the nail polish or she just didn't blend in the sides but you can tell where the brush ended and looks like a double layer. For the pedicure the shaping, filing and painting looks good in the toes but there wasn't really a massage and my feet don't feel smooth like they typically do after I get a pedicure. While I was drying the woman didn't check in on me except for when she asked me to pay. Didn't double check her work or to check to see if my nails were dry before I left. I could've saved myself the money and given myself a better mani/pedi at home. Read Less

I went to the Gel bar this past Saturday. Β The place was congested, loud, unorganized and the owner was not very friendly. The place is run like a meat market. People in and out in a short period of time, which would be great, if they were thorough. Β I got the gel manicure. The technician was friendly and personably but I noticed a chip the next day and something under the gel of another nail. Β Cuticles were barely cleaned. Overall, it was an ok job.As I sat and received my manicure, I noticed that place was dirty, messy and not very appealing. It was not a relaxing atmosphere. It was more like a revolving door. I think maybe it was very busy because it was raining out but customer service is not their strong point at this location Read Less

If you've never been, don't waste your time. If your a regular, your royalty. I decided to give the Gel Bar a try for a few reasons, convenience being the main reason. When I walked in I was confused and began to regret my decision. I wasn't greeted until I saw the technician to my left and asked if they were accepting walk ins. He said 'Yes, what would you like?' To which I responded a Gel manicure. He then told me to sign in (to the clip board immediately in front of my on a piece of equipment) and then to pick my color. The colors are on the left wall and there is limited space to walk when chairs are being used. I picked out my color and stood by the polish for a few more minutes. Another woman had walked in and immediately got smiles and attention. Which made me feel like I didn't matter at that point. I decided to sit at the counter, waited and watched the jumbo tv in front of me. As I began to think that I was wasting my time and began to stand the tech to my right said 'no, you sit there I'll be with you in a moment.'I sat down and patiently waited. A decision I now regret. Tech #1 began to set up and have a friendly conversation with me while removing the gel already on my nails. I was beginning to forget my awkward intro and relax only for her to point to the man behind me and say 'he'll help you now.' So, I stood and sat at the bar behind where I was already sitting. With foil and remover on only 1 hand mind you. Tech #2 began to set up and remove polish from left hand. No real friendly conversation. He did tell me that they were short staffed. I tried to have a conversation but he wasn't interested. He was more concerned about what everyone else was doing. After he began removing the polish from my right hand he then put the foil back on telling me I needed more time. He then told another tech to send a young lady waiting for service to him. He began filing and polishing her nails. Paying no attention to me, he continued with putting her new nails on and trimming them to her desired length. After what seemed like an eternity I was yet again told I'd be moving. As I made my way to Tech #3 I joked that this was like musical chairs. Which apparently didn't sit well with Tech #1 who told me it was exercise. Which in turn made me (a not so small woman) respond with 'Right because I clearly need exercise!!!' At this point, I was kicking myself for not leaving the first opportunity I had. The manicure was fine, yes. Just fine. I had a nail break two days later. Probably because my nails soaked in acetone for about 45 minutes. I have no intentions of returning or recommending this establishment. They lack customer service and organizational skills. The space is jam packed with equipment and doesn't allow you to walk about or get comfortable at all. Read Less

My girlfriend just came back from there. She has been getting her nails done since she was a teenager. We just moved to hanover, so she wanted to try somewhere close to home. She said that getting her nails done there was the worst experience ever. She made an appointment then had to wait a half hour even though she was on time and people who came after her without an appointment were taken care before her, while she stood there. The person doing her nails was rude an very aggressive with her hands. The quality of the pedicure was horrible and not worth the money. Im surprised there people are still in business Read Less
