About

Gillette Gels is a gel nail salon in Johnston, Rhode Island, owned by Bella Gillette, a licensed Rhode Island nail technician. The salon says its top priority is long-lasting sets, and it describes sets holding for up to six weeks.

Manicures include a traditional option with a choice of polish or a buffed shine, and a gel polish manicure on natural nails that the salon says lasts two to three weeks. Enhancements range from overlays that reinforce natural nails without adding length to new extensions in custom length and shape. Hard gel is applied with the American Framework System, Acrygel with VPB Acrygel, and Gel-X extensions with Apres Gel-X. Luminary Builder Gel is used for structure on short natural nails and for regrowth work. Soft gel sets and Gel-X extensions can be filled up to two times before a soak off or full removal is required. Acrygel stays on the natural nail between appointments, and hard gel typically needs a full removal about once a year to refresh the foundation. A signature warm towel comes with the manicure and enhancement services that list it, and add-on spa services and nail art are available.

Removals include an e-file service for hard gel and Acrygel enhancements, followed by cuticle cleanup and a cuticle oil finish, and a soak off for soakable products such as soft gel, Dip, Gel-X, acrylic and polygel. The salon is open Tuesday and Thursday from 8 AM to 7 PM and Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, and is closed Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

Cancellations or changes made 24 or more hours ahead carry no fee. Later changes and missed appointments without notice incur a 50% fee based on the scheduled service. After a no-show, a non-refundable $45 deposit is required to book future appointments, applied toward the upcoming total, and it is forfeited if that appointment is canceled within 24 hours or another no-show occurs. A 10 to 15 minute grace period applies to late arrivals, and arriving after it may shorten the visit or require rescheduling. Booking means agreeing to the cancellation policy. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for in-person bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment. Questions can be sent through a contact form on the website.

The salon says its top priority is long-lasting sets. It matches each gel type to a specific system, such as the American Framework System for hard gel and Apres Gel-X for Gel-X extensions.
