Fantastic nails, friendly staff and fast service! Love my nails! Haven't had them done in years, so I was a bit nervous. But they are lovely. Exactly what I asked for was exactly what I got. Thank you.

Had a lovely experience today at my first ever appointment at Gelous and so pleased with my nails! I'm very particular about my nails and like them to look quite natural so finding a good salon that listens and delivers my desired look is very important. Pleased that the nail profile looks natural and not too thick or heavy which I've observed can happen with nail technicians who maybe aren't as skilled but as you can see from my photos that Gelous did a fab job! Thank you, will be back again soon :)

Emily & team are very friendly & welcoming. I was recommended to visit the salon about 6 months ago, and have been coming back ever since! The service is always professional, the salon is clean & comfortable, and I love my nails every time! They're always helpful and willing to help me decide on my nail design, its very reasonably priced & have loads of options to choose from!

I've been going to Emily for my acrylics for the last 2 years and won't go anywhere else now (even though I've moved out of Cardiff)! Friendly staff, always feel welcome (without conversation being overly forced!). Emily is a diamond and excellent at what she does! Reasonable prices for such a great service, my nails always look amazing and they always LAST. I moved house and my set was still in perfect condition after a few days of packing/dismantling furniture and cleaning!

Words cannot describe how amazing Gelous Nail Bar is. The service is absolutely amazing and the acrylics I have got done at this place are incredible! The owner is so kind and the prices are affordable especially for the quality of the service and the outcome. Every time I get my nails done here, I always get compliments about them! Ive recommended this place to practically everyone I know! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Emily is my go to nail tech, when ever I fancy a new set I always go back to her as she knows exactly what she's doing and has such a welcoming and friendly environment at Gelous. I'd highly recommend! 😊
