About

The Gel Lab is a nail-only salon in Concord, North Carolina. Its menu is built around gel work: standard gel manicures, structured gel overlays, hard gel overlays, and GelX sets, along with freestyle designs and a la carte nail art on top of those services.

Each service is listed with its price and appointment length. Full sets run from about 60 minutes for a gel manicure to 180 minutes for a GelX removal and new freestyle set. Add-ons such as nail cut downs and reshaping can be added to any full service.

Existing GelX sets and removals are offered only when the current set was applied by the same technician, so returning clients who had their nails done here can book those options directly. Soak-off and hard gel removal is available for existing clients only.

The salon accepts payment through its booking platform and offers Buy Now, Pay Later in person for bookings between $50 and $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment.

The salon's work centers on gel-based nail services, with the aim of helping clients reach their natural nail goals and adding nail art on top.
