    Great salon space and excellent nail techs!
    Julie C.

    I love Gel Touch and recommend them so highly! I'm a pedicure person and theirs are the best! It's very high quality with kind people and an adorable space. You will love them!

    Absolutely loved my experience with Juju at Gel Touch Nail Salon! She was so sweet, personable, attentive, and incredibly talented. My nails turned out perfect--she's a true pro and made the whole appointment feel relaxing and fun. She also convinced me to try hard gel, and I'm obsessed. Highly recommend her!

    BEST NAIL SALON IN CARLSBAD!! I have been so so many places and this one is the BEST by far. The service is amazing, all of the artists are so talented and careful with their work. The place is clean and the vibes are great! Everyone is so kind and great at nails! The price is fair and not too expensive, I'd say it's a great price for quality and service. I got gel extensions with no design for $65. I love it here! They have my business for life!

    Best experience I've had at a Nail Salon. I've been coming here for years. I can't say enough about the staff. I always leave feeling special. They produce everything I ask for and more. I love Lee and Angela and have been seeing them since 2015!

    Great manicure; lowering to 4 stars because I had a 5pm reservation and didn't get in until almost 5:30. I had Tina for a regular gel manicure (not extension). She did a great job not over-filing my nails and the gel was very even. The appointment took about 25 mins in total.

    Beautiful designs was done by Angela!

    Angela could do any nail designs that you bring up. Them always last for a month. LOVE

    Nu Pedicure and dipping powder nails
    Michele W.

    Called for a next day appointment while in Carlsbad for vacation and had a really great experience. Holly did my "Nu Pedicure" and she did an amazing job. Took her time, used excellent products and my feet felt like butter afterward. Nice massage skills as well. Sophie did my dipping powder nails and also was very detailed oriented. She made sure to put oil on the cuticles and even gave a quick lotion hand massage after - this is not common at a lot of other nail shops when you do acrylic or a dip. And it's really a nice touch to end off the whole experience well. Place was clean and quiet and exactly what I needed.

    Hate to give such a low rating but getting cut and poked for a basic nail trim during my gel pedicure was very uneasy.

    How long do the Gel X last vs acrylic. I am always rough on my hands so how long do they last?

    The hard gel lasts as long as acrylic. If you get the soft gel it only lasts 2 weeks tops. The key is to ask for hard gel. They do gel fills also. I get 6 weeks out of mine and never had a break. My nails are so much healthier than when I wore… Read more

    Do they use nail forms to extend the hard gel out if your nails are to short?

    They will add a plastic tip like they do for acrylic nails! Lasts super long

    Do you do the gel extension (gel x)?

    They do, I get it done regularly

    How much is a gel acrylic fill? I'm currently paying $45 somewhere else and wanting to try somewhere cheaper

    When they do a hard gel fill, they change the color and reshape the entire nail. It's different than an acrylic fill. It's still about 51.00 but I usually get nail art with mine. I would call and ask. I have to say that my nails are stronger… Read more

    I walked in to this salon and was able to snag the last appointment of the day thankfully!!…read more I was having a rough day and wanted to treat myself to a simple gel mani and regular pedi. The vibe in the salon was great! All of the ladies working in the shop were so fun and upbeat and chatty. The environment was great and it made me feel better after having a hard day. The salon interior is also clean and tidy. The gel mani was done by Tory. She is so detailed. I can tell she has very high standards for her work and is very skilled. She was precise and I noticed that she paid extra attention to cleaning up the gel with a brush to make sure it didn't get on my skin. Her attention to detail can be rare to find at other salons. I don't have pictures of my pedicure but it was okay - I didn't love how my nails were shaped but it was fine and the polish stayed on for a long time which was great. The pedicure was good overall. This was definitely the best nail salon I've tried in north county and I will have to come back another time.

    So the manicure itself was actually okay, I am however used to more of an elongated pampering…read moreexperience when it comes to manicures. Especially when you're paying $55 for them. I will say the polish doesn't go completely to the edges of the nail, but it is what it is. She did a good job . The reason for the 3 stars is due to the customer service element. When I walked in the employees were whispering/talking amongst themselves about a client/coworker that was currently in the salon sitting directly behind me. I don't mind if you need to talk about something going on in the workplace, but that is hardly something to discuss directly in front of the client you are working on. I don't think i'll be going again, but don't let this review sway you, I hope you have a more positive experience!

    First and last time giving this place my money. I came in for an acrylic set where my nail tech was…read morejust flat out incompetent. She kept putting way too much dipping powder on my nails and kept having to scoop it out from under my nails which the first time fair, but she literally did this with every single nail and it took her an entire hour just to do that alone. She started filing and cut my pinky under my nail to the point it was bleeding. I wish I was joking but she literally didn't look at me, acknowledge what had happened, or apologized. Just grabbed a cotton swab and acted like it was nothing. How you cut someone with a nail file is beyond me but not saying sorry is even crazier. Although she was wearing gloves, she kept stabbing where I was cut with her fingernail and seemed forget I was literally bleeding seconds before. She filed my nails so much that they went from the medium length we agreed on to short. She didn't even file under the nails, so they're super sharp and uncomfortable underneath. The woman was spending so much time shaping the nails that they're hardly even almond shaped anymore. Not to mention when she painted my nails she got nail polish all over my hands. I was there for almost TWO hours for a simple acrylic set. I complained up front when I went to pay and all they did was give me $10 off and didn't seem to care I had bled on their nail file? Also she refused to give me my receipt as well which I personally thought was very strange. As someone who works in customer service this place is a joke and lacks professionalism. I am a very understanding person but I left here very upset and wondering why you have someone working who has clearly only done nails a handful of times.
