★★★★★ 5.0 Halo Crouse · Dec 2025

I went to The Gel Lab a few days ago and honestly had one of the best nail experiences I’ve ever had!! My nail tech, known as “Zaddy”, was absolutely phenomenal! Not only was his work incredibly detailed, clean, and precise, but he was also so educational throughout the entire appointment. I had gone to another salon about a week prior and my nails were already chipping and lifting, so he took the time to explain what went wrong, what to look out for in the future, and how to properly communicate with nail techs so I wouldn’t get bamboozled again 😅 It felt empowering! I learned so much while getting my nails done. From the prep, buffing, shaping, and cuticle work to the hard gel application and polish, everything was truly chef’s kiss 🤌✨ The polish selection was stunning! high-quality, u

Omg this place is a GEM! I had a pretty lofty request for my wedding nails - but the Team at Gel Lab didn’t bat an eye and said “we can do that!!” and omg did they slay the nail. Ellie was my artist and her vision, precision and artistry blew my mind. The whole environment at the salon is so fun, warm and welcoming - you’ll want to hang out and chat all day!! My GelX nails (and Gel Pedi!) nails turned out PERFECTLY. Ellie looked at my inspo pic and went to work - she hand-painted the stars on with the steadiest hand and helped me choose the perfect base color (and I was indecisive!). SO many guests at my wedding grabbed my hands and stared in awe of her artwork!! 💜💜💜 Thank you Ellie and Gel Lab!!

I have been going to Gel Lab for a couple of months now and it’s been great! The atmosphere is fun, vibrant yet relaxing. Claire, the owner and the techs are really nice and always know exactly what I want. Gel-x is definitely a step above acrylic and has been helping my natural nails also grow out healthily. There’s a reason people keep coming back to this place :)

★★★★★ 5.0 Socheata Sek · Nov 2023

I had such a fun and luxurious experience here. The vibes and ambiance were perfect. If you're looking to get pampered, this is the place to go. The staff is super friendly - they offer snacks and drinks upon entering. Also, loved the aesthetics in this salon. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

★★★★★ 5.0 Minda Newhouse · Nov 2024

The gel lab is my new happy place. Their customer service is unmatched. I broke my foot and they literally helped me get in out of the salon and moved my car for me. With my nails I never dreamed I could have had this much growth and happy nail beds but they mad it happen (this after 3 appointments with gel builder). But more than anything I love the community, the sisterhood, the laughs, and general vibes. If you live in the Bay Area you are dumb if you go anywhere else.
