Gel ombré nails
DD R.

I have been serviced by many different technicians at Gelish and they never disappoint! The service is always punctual, professional and of high quality. By far my favorite nail salon in Tucson!

Melody P.

I had set up two appointments for a pedicure today for my mom and I (9am aka right when they open). Two different ladies did our pedicures which was okay. The lady that did my pedicure (white) kept insisting that I should do gel polish as well as my mom. We ended up not doing gel polish and did regular nail polish. When the lady did my nails she never asked if the shape looked good to me nor did the lady that did my mom's nail asked either. The regular nail polish was super dry that you can see the streaks on my white nails. The lady shaped them extremely crooked and the corners of my toe nails are sharp as well as my mom's. You can tell that in my mom's pedicure (coral pink) her big toe nails are distinctly different. The nails look disproportional overall. I believe we could have done them better at home honestly. This is the last time I'll ever be coming back.

I'm convinced I could come here with any idea and the nail techs would execute it flawlessly. This is the place to go to if you want acrylics and nail art. I recommend booking in advance, especially on weekends.

$170 for gel mani and pedi???? Never again. This is ridiculous. My toes have polish this time b/c I'm tired of spending my hard earned time and money for sub par work. I was told "pay for a Tier II tech if you want better service" What? $60 for this and I look like a child slapped polish on my skin and toes? I was told to - leave nail glue on my calluses because it is "liquid band aid" ???? These are my toes directly when I got home from Gelish. Sent pics to owner. Arrogant and RUDE. Nope. Tucson. Get smart-

Absolutely love Gelish! I was referred by a friend and I'm so happy with it. I usually see Emily and I love her work. She is quick, efficient, talented, and sweet. Another tech, David, sits next to her and he's hilarious. I love that they take appointments and send reminder text messages. But they also take walk-ins if that's more your vibe.

I have been going here for approximately three years. This is my favorite place to go in Tucson until today. I drive 40 mins out everytime just because I love this place. However today I had an appointment and was told the tier 2 I requested didn't have time to do my nails. I'm not usually too picky however it was how he said it to me and then I was put with a tier 1 which I don't mind however she couldn't fully do what I was asking for. It did still turn out well. But scheduling an appointment and being told you don't have time for me is wild!!!

I paid $71 on October first for a hard gel fill, fixing one fingers uneven tip which in the end was filed off anyways. Within 48 hours I began feeling my nails lift and peel from the hard gel. I have never had this issue. After a few more days it began to be intolerable as I now have 5 nails that have water trapped under them, bending and chipping from lifting off of the set I got here on October first. I reached out to the salon in hopes of a refund seeing it had only been five days since my set and five nails are incredibly damaged from this salon. The salon replied stating they do not offer refunds but would be happy to soak them off for free. I am obviously not impressed with this answer and am quite offended seeing I paid $71 plus $10 cash tip for a seemingly wonderful set just for the set to immediately ruin my natural nails. They replied they do not offer refunds and it is "clearly stated" and sent me a picture of their menu after I explained it is in fact not clearly stated anywhere in the salon or on their Facebook or Instagram sites. Their services that THEY listed for THEIR business on Facebook do not include the refund policy, which they claim is on the service list. I explained I booked with them after viewing their reviews and both Facebook and Instagram, and then texted exactly what I wanted based on asking if they offered hard gel sets. I showed up to my appointment, was checked in and sat down never offered a menu. Their small menu is the only place that shows their refund policy-it is not listed on any of their sites that they own and operate, nor clearly in their salon like it has to be via state Arizona law. It is only listed on a menu that is apparently only offered if you ask. Not to new or returning customers, so it is incredibly deceptive to operate like this especially when customers pay nearly $100 for a set that is meant to last 3-4 weeks but only lasted two days before the set was completely defective. Water is now stuck under my nails, my index, middle, ring, pinky and thumb fingernails are lifting and chipping, and their only solution is to let them touch my nails again after ruining them after not offering a menu which is the only place this refund policy is mentioned-again against law. It MUST be offered to customers if not posted clearly, plainly and publicly for customers to see as they are in the salon. Deceptively running their business. Extremely unfortunate and will be disputing this with my bank and NOT returning. I recommend to take your business elsewhere to avoid destroying your natural nails and spending your hard earned money somewhere where they are not deceptive and value their customers by operating with integrity. Now I have to go pay a different salon to remove my nails and then pay for a new set from a new salon, losing just as much money if not more than I paid for this set that lasted less than TWO DAYS. Sort the reviews to newest. This is a reoccurring issue with this business and their quality of services, and they do not do anything to fix it aside from offer to remove poor quality services and then keep your money. Photos were from my nails when I was showing my sister how they are visibly damaged, water is now trapped and how my hair is getting caught on five of my fingers because the nails are lifting on the edges. Not even on their verified yelp page do they mention the refund policy. Not their own Facebook that they operate, nor Instagram that they operate, nor yelp. It is not posted when you walk in. The only place this policy is "posted" is a menu you must request-it is not offered or freely available. It is not posted on any of their personal business accounts or mentioned upon booking.

Tim did an amazing job!! My back to school nails are super cute and I'm happy with my set. The salon is super pretty. I will definitely be returning.

I got the idea for the summer multi-colors from Pinterest and they were able to match it exactly. So fun! They are always very friendly and helpful. The salon is always clean and smells good!

I've been going to Gelish for over a year now and before that I was hopping from different nails salons because I wasn't really committed to any of them. Everyone at Gelish is SUPER nice and welcoming. But after having Paulina did my nails for the first time a year ago, I'm Never going anywhere else! I drive all the way from sahuarita because she always gets my nails exactly the way I want while providing me options and patience. Lol I'm super picky and she still makes me feel welcomed and invited and understood! 10/10 recommend Gelish and especially Paulina! Here's just an idea of my pretty nails she's created , love them and can't wait to recreate

Jacqueline M.

Gelish never disappoints!! The salon is exceptionally clean, super sanitary, and beautiful. Not to mention the customer service is 100%. I started coming to this salon a little over a year ago after a recommendation from a friend. I found other salons were damaging my nails, thinning them, and drilling them down to the point where they hurt. I drive 35-40 minutes to come to the salon and look forward to my appts with Paulina. She not only executes my vision, but I feel like she takes the time to get to know her clients and what nail styles (art included) works best for them. I also found with just a few appointments my nails became healthy again. Highly recommend.

Ask the Community - Gelish Nail Salon

Do they offer BIAB manicures?

Yes, that's what I had done. Beautiful job and great price.

Do they offer GelX?

I'm not sure of that brand but they do carry several good brands. You can text them to ask. The number to text is on their website.

Does anyone know how they clean their nail tools and if they use disposable nail files on each customer? If they practice good hygiene techniques in general? I recently had a manicure at another salon that made me nervous and need somewhere better.

Taryn, I know they use industrial grade antiseptic and cleansers. They are very hygienic in all… 

Do they have dip powder?

They absolutely having dipping powder and many colors to choose from. They have all the latest nail products and they are fantastic at doing them all.

Do they take walk ins?

They do take walk ins however they stay so busy with appointment customers that it is definately recommended you make an appointment. They are awesome and do awesome work.

Are prices listed anywhere online?

Don't have a list of prices, but my gel manicure and regular pedicure was $60 total.

I did try to book online first and selected a specific manicurist, but I never received a confirmation or call back. When I followed up by phone, there was some confusion as they mentioned that person had not worked there in quite some time. Not a huge deal, but it does seem like the website may not be fully up to date, so I would recommend calling directly to schedule. My manicurist was Tommy and he was great. He completed the mani pedi in excellent time and delivered exactly what I asked for, including staying within the price range I expected. Pricing was comparable to other nail salons in the area. The interior was clean, nicely decorated, and well ventilated. The chairs were comfortable and there was a TV playing, which made the experience relaxing. Overall, it was a good experience in spite of the website weirdness, and I am glad to have this as a solid backup option when my regular spot is unavailable. I would definitely return if I needed a last minute appointment again.

The request was for undetectable, seamless, low maintenance pops of light To make my overall hair appear to reflect my natural base, which is a level 5/6. It's convenient that when I was asked what my budget was, that was what turned out to be the exact cost of the service plus a $70 haircut. There were also comments made that if I were to have spent more money, there were better odds that I could've achieved the result I was desiring which I found disrespectful. The first image was my hair prior to my appointment. The second image was the inspiration. The rest are what remain after going in for 'touch up.' I think it is blatantly obvious what the issue is far from just a 'tone' discrepancy. The Salon refuses to refund me and it's easy to fathom that I would not be comfortable getting seen for the third time to fix what has been broken. Extremely discouraging when I value the integrity of my hair more than anything else and how multiple individuals are not willing to make it right. I will never recommend this Salon to anyone in this city. I hate when smart people pretend to not see the issue at hand.

Even knowing this, I was scared to get my hair cut again. I have had many really terrible hair cuts, so coming here was a big deal. I had read about Spirals and Tanja online while at home in California. I was heading over to visit my best friend in Tucson, and she said she would come with me. I was not prepared at all for what a wonderful experience this would turn out to be!! Tanja was very calm and soothing, fully understanding what it is to have bad haircuts as a curly girl, being one herself. As she shampooed my hair, she gave me a neck massage which felt so relaxing, and extremely helpful. Then, she led me back to her chair, and we talked about what I wanted and hoped for in a good style. I told her I just wanted a simple, layered cut that would look graceful on a now 60 year old lady, that would be easy to take care of. I was nervous not to have any style photos to pick from, but she studied my face, etc, and seemed to intuitively know what I needed. The style is just perfect!! Not only that, and this is huge, I learned, gently, that I have been taking care of my hair all wrong....for decades!! No one had ever told me you don't comb curly hair while it is dry!!! She put 2 products in my hair: a leave-in moisturizer and a clear finishing gel. And then gave me further instructions to spritz my hair daily, in between shampoos or co-washes, then comb it through. This has been a huge change in my daily routine, it is quick, easy, and still looks marvelous after a month now!!I can easily find these 2 products online, and they are not expensive. I wish I could have Tanja cut my hair all the time, I have to hope I can find someone here to do it. I highly recommend Spirals and their very nice staff, and I will go there again next time I am in Tucson!!

I'm someone who isn't very good at visualizing or describing what she wants but definitely knows what she hates, which is terrible when you are getting your haircut. But if I bring in a bunch of screengrabs from Insta or Naturally Curly, I can run them by her and she'll be honest about whether she thinks a particular cut will look good on me--and, based on how much she knows about how much time (very little) I will spend styling it in the morning, whether it's worth doing. She's also amazing at mixing color, so you can be sure you'll get the exact same one every time. I've had some nail and skin treatments here as well, and I have nothing to complain about there, either. The staff are all friendly, and even if they are not the ones specifically doing your hair, they'll probably chat with you, give you product recommendations, and throw a compliment your way anyway. The only bad things about this place are a) it's maybe too popular, and that means noisy, so if you're someone who is prone to sensory overload, this is not your joint; and b) time is more of a relative concept than a hard and fast rule, so don't plan anything more complicated than a trim if you have somewhere to be that day. Otherwise, definitely show up. You won't regret it.

Beauty Republic is now located at the address reflected on their business page here on Yelp. The studio is actually located on a residential property, but it is NOT inside the main house. They make sure to provide you with instructions via text message the day of your appointment, which is very helpful. The studio is now officially a team of two, lead by founder Marissa Duarte and her sister in law Vanessa. The services no longer include nails services. Their focus is entirely on skincare. Vanessa does offer waxing and lash lift/tinting services though! So, if you are looking for a place that is entirely dedicated to facials of various kinds with a holistic approach, this is it! And it's LOVELY. The studio is cozy and super well appointed. I was super relaxed the entire time. I went in for a facial that included gua sha with Vanessa. Vanessa is incredibly sweet and fun to talk to before and after your session. She keeps the session chat free so that you can indulge in all the relaxation possible and I loved it! Another nice aspect to their business is that it is a gratuity free zone, meaning that the pricing on their website is what you pay for and that's it. So you can think of it as the gratuity is included. I've never experienced that before and I must say it's a really nice way to enjoy a treatment. After my facial, Vanessa was gracious with her time and gave me some tips on how to use my gua sha stone at home. Her energy is wonderful and both she and Marissa seem to be super dedicated to continuing their education and developing all the skills they need to be the best!

A facial experience with Beauty Republic is really unlike anything else out there. One of the things that drew me to them is that they were willing to use only products that contained plant ingredients. I'm unable to use products with synthetic chemicals because my body is very sensitive to them. Many skincare businesses have a problem with this because so many products that are out there are not actually clean and non-toxic. This was not a problem at Beauty Republic though. Not only did my skin feel fantastic post-facial, they sell products that I can buy to use at home, and there are so many options to choose from that meet my criteria of being clean and non-toxic! We are so lucky to have this business in our city.
