Gel Manicure in Grand Rapids
Imagine catching a glimpse of your hands mid-week and smiling. A gel manicure at Pleasant Nails & Spa gives you a glossy, chip-resistant finish that lasts two to three weeks — so that polished, put-together feeling follows you everywhere.
What's Included in a Pleasant Nails and Spa Gel Manicure
Every gel manicure at our East Beltline salon starts the same way a great classic manicure does: nail shaping to your preferred style, gentle cuticle care, and a light hand massage. Then your technician applies gel base, your chosen color, and a gel top coat, curing each layer under an LED lamp so you leave with completely dry, glossy nails — no smudges on the drive home.
- Nail shaping (round, square, squoval, almond)
- Cuticle care and buffing
- Gel base, color, and top coat cured under LED
- Hand massage and finishing oil
- Hundreds of gel colors on our polish wall to choose from
Most gel manicures take about 45–60 minutes. Add a simple accent nail or French tip in the same visit — just mention it when you book.

Why Grand Rapids Clients Choose Pleasant Nails and Spa for Gel Nails
If you've been searching for a "gel manicure near me" around East Beltline, Cascade, or southeast Grand Rapids, Pleasant Nails & Spa is an easy stop at 2739 E Beltline Ave SE with parking right outside. Clients come in on lunch breaks, before events at nearby venues, and on weekends when they want color that will survive the whole work week.
Our technicians cap the free edge of every nail with gel to help prevent early chipping, and we always ask about your day-to-day — typing, dishes, gardening — so we can recommend a shape and length that holds up. When your set grows out, we remove gel by soaking rather than force-peeling, which protects the natural nail underneath.
