10 of the 35 nail salons we list in Carlsbad, California have 4- and 5-star Google reviews that mention gel manicures. Each card quotes one.
Across California, reviewers typically paid $30–$42 for gel manicures (middle price $35), going by prices quoted in Google reviews of 29 salons. Too few reviews in Carlsbad give a price for a range of its own.
A gel manicure uses polish cured under an LED or UV lamp, so it is dry when you leave and keeps its shine for about two weeks.

We read the Google reviews on each salon's listing and kept the 4- and 5-star ones that mention gel manicures. Salons with more of those reviews are listed first. Nobody pays to be listed.
We only see a few reviews per salon, so a salon missing here may still do gel manicures. Prices are what reviewers say they paid, not a salon's menu, and each salon sets its own; a city gets its own range once 3 salons' reviews give a price. See all 35 nail salons in Carlsbad.
