Gel Society is a nail care business run by Averee Downes. It is located in Suite 3 at 14444 Excelsior Blvd in Minnetonka, inside the EZ Collective, and every appointment is one-on-one in a private studio.
The core menu covers a solid-color gel manicure on natural nails, a Man-icure with nail and cuticle cleanup, shaping, an exfoliating scrub, and a finish of buffing or clear top coat, and a builder gel overlay on natural nails that is meant to look like natural nails with a glossier, sturdier finish. Gel-X full sets use a full-coverage tip secured with LED-cured glue to add length, and the Gel-X material is a soft extension that the business describes as less damaging to natural nails than acrylic. Builder gel and Gel-X full sets are solid color only.
Add-ons include French tips, chrome, cat eye or pearl swirl finishes, and Extra Design for custom work. Designs with charms need a photo sent by email or Instagram before the appointment. Nail repair covers one to three broken, chipped or damaged nails, and repairs to more than three nails are booked as a fill. Removal services cover gel polish, builder gel, Gel-X, and nails applied by another technician.
Hours are Monday and Tuesday 11 AM to 10 PM, Thursday and Friday 10 AM to 10 PM, and Saturday 10 AM to 6:30 PM; the studio is closed Wednesday and Sunday. New clients pay a deposit at booking, $15 for a gel manicure or Man-icure and $20 for a builder gel manicure or Gel-X full set. Requests 48 hours' notice for cancellations or changes. Later changes are charged 50% of the scheduled service, and no-shows or same-day cancellations are charged the full service total. Buy Now, Pay Later is offered for in-person bookings from $50 to $4,000, subject to approval before the appointment.
