I received excellent customer service recently over a bad batch of topcoat. Requested some information to record for business purposes however, the products were replaced and arrived extremely quick. Excellent service

BIAB is useless

Useless. The builder in a bottle is meant to be the holy grail of nail products, but on my first 2 applications I experienced the whole nail gel just peeling off entirely after just 4 hours. Worse than a cheapo drugstore nail polish!
I contacted them to ask for advice and was basically told that if you don't shell out hundreds on their lamp, base coats and colours, the BIAB won't work! I have a decent lamp which works really well with my Mylee products so can't see why I should have to buy a whole new lamp to use this product. To my mind, if your product doesn't stand on its own then it's no good.
The staff were quite rude and unhelpful, so I won't be bothering with Gel Bottle any more. My Mylee products work just fine and I definitely recommend buying them instead.

Hi there, thank you so much for your review and I am sorry to see you are unhappy with BIAB. The BIAB is a revolutionary product and has taken the industry by storm so I would like to try and understand exactly what happened in this instance. We do advise to use the complete system, and this is an industry standard as a lot of insurers will also request this to. We cannot guarantee results with other brands, which from what you have said seems to be the issue. BIAB is a super strong product, and can only 100% be cured with our lamp which we have tried and tested. Of course, if another lamp is working then that is great and your prerogative to continue using, but if your BIAB is peeling off after 2 days, this is probably the issue. That isn't us trying to be difficult, we just want to ensure that you can use the products safely.

I would appreciate it if you could email me at contact@thegelbottle.com so I can look into the claims of our team being rude as i would like to investigate this further - we are here to welcome everyone and ensure we can help with all eventualities, so if you could please reach out to me personally, i would like to have a look into this further.

Thank you

Premium prices but poor customer service

I really like the products but the customer service is appalling. My lamp recently broke (just outside of warranty) and several bulbs stopped working. I immediately placed an order for a replacement and contacted customer service to request this be shipped quickly as I’m unable to see clients until it arrives. The customer service agent didn’t appear to actually read and comprehend my request and despite saying several times I did not mind paying for the lamp and just wanted it asap, they offered me a discount code for a new order (irrelevant and not needed as I’ve already placed the order for everything I need) yet consistently ignored my questions about shipping the order.

The live chat function is problematic and disfunctional and when you finally get a response it’s a copy and paste response that makes no sense.

Dispatch times are often 10+ days when competitors offer next day delivery.

We pay a premium for this brand yet the customer experience is not premium at all.

Hi Miss Scott

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I am so incredibly sorry to have read about your experience. I am going to investigate this as a matter of urgency and will reach out to you directly if that’s ok? This is far from the experience I would ever hope we would give and I hope to turn this unpleasant experience around for you.

Best wishes

Research this brand first

Used and loved the product for 1yr but had two seperate clients develop Onycholosis (nail separation). Alarm bells rung and I researched allergies from tgb only to discover many many other techs/clients developing life changing allergies. Then sadly, it happened to me. I thought my career was over and had patch testing and discovered I had developed an allergy to hema. my dermatologist tested me with the quantity tgb claim is in their biab and no reaction. He then tested their cured biab and I reacted severely. He confirmed the hema content was much higher than stated on the msds. I do not trust this company and their history with trading standards clarifies my reasoning; the fine they received after underselling the the quantity of product they were selling to consumers. Do your research before using this brand!

Hi there,

Thank you for your review and I am so sorry to have read about your reactions.

Our MSDS sheets do not have our HEMA levels on them so there would be no comparison to be drawn. This isn’t information we share however, we would not be able to distribute or internationally trade unsafe or harmful products and as a responsible brand we would never market something without understanding and testing it fully to ensure it complied with all of these regulations. Our customers and their health is of the utmost importance to us and we would never do anything to jeopardise this.

Reactions can develop immediately or overtime and is the body’s way of saying it doesn’t like what is being applied to it and is an unfortunate side effect when dealing with cosmetic grade products. We see this across the entire industry, not just with nails but with eyelash tints, hair dyes, henna and many other treatments. I am so pleased you have visited a medical professional so they can confirm it is an allergy and not something else, and gives you that understanding to cease use of the product moving forward to avoid it happening in the future. Please ensure your clients have sought medical advice too.

Finally, I would encourage you to reach out to us directly to discuss this further so we can fully document your case, take as much information as possible and ensure this is recorded on our side. We take every report of a reaction seriously and offer support and information so we would love it if you could give us the opportunity to do so.

Best wishes

I emailed as my TGB lamp had stopped working properly. Within 2 days I have had a reply and had the issue resolved. They are sending me a new lamp as it is covered by warranty. Best customer service I've received in a long time. Will continue to invest in TGB products for my salon.

Amazing customer service!

Excelled customer service! Dealt with pronto and totally understood the frustration of DPD just dumping my parcel in an own safe place against my permission (looks like they put it in a skip or bin)! But my parcel is now being re-sent straight away and also replied within 24 hours. Very impressed!

Outstanding customer service

I was sent the wrong parcel by the courier. Being the festive season and my order being festive glitters I thought it was going to be a long process with the courier and the gel bottle to get my items to me , luckily that wasn’t the case. I got a response to my email within minutes and a quick sign of a document and my order was resent . Brilliant customer services !!!

Lamp issue

I had an issue with my lamp and spoke with Kirsty - who I must say was incredible and sorted out the problem and got my replacement lamp sent out straight away after confirming what was wrong with it. I had read some bad reviews on TGB customer services but the lady who dealt with my issue was extremely polite and helpful and couldn’t fault her customer service skills! Thanks again Kirsty!
