Testimonials
1. Celebrities the UK attest to the success of Calgel.
"The Calgel Spa pedicure makes your feet look and feel amazing,
and it's great not to worry about the chipping because the
colour is applied as a gel that sets, and lasts up to 6 weeks"
Susie Amy, Actress
"The Calgel manicure is great as it is long lasting and does
not chip, peel or flake."
Donna Air, Actress & TV Presenter
"One reason why I hardly ever wear nail polish is because I
can't find anything to withstand the spectrum of things I do in
a day: work, kids, dog. But Calgel is indestructible and has
changed the course of my nails for ever, it is utterly
fabulous!"
Thandie Newton, Actress
“Being a TV presenter and often away from home filming, I’m
always on the look out for the perfect pedicure and this time I
think I’ve found it. This is a pedicure like no other, as the
varnish stays on for ages, no matter what you get up to! Having
just got back from a month long filming trip to Argentina and
Thailand, my polish looks like it had just been applied, no
chips or cracks in sight - just perfectly polished toes. Thank
you Calgel.”
Nicki Chapman, TV Presenter
“‘I never knew such a great product existed. My nails stay
glossy and lovely for such a long time. Once you’ve had the gel
treatment it is very difficult to go back to ordinary nail
varnish!’2. Businesses across the UK attest to the success of
Calgel.

2. Beauty Professionals in the UK attest to the success of Calgel.
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at
Calgel for the fantastic job they are doing from my point of
view. I work from home in a busy nail business, and although I
see a lot of ladies daily, they rely on me for inspiration for
new ideas. Unfortunately, because I am not in a salon
environment I do not have the privilege of getting ideas from
other technicians as they work.
What I really appreciate about Calgel is the fact that, even
though I have not been using Calgel for too long, I really feel
as if I am important to your business. I really appreciated the
call from Robyn after the last Nail Show, - I don't think you
had a stand there, but Robyn called to see if she could assist
with anything and to ask if I had a wish list from Calgel what
it would it be. It really was most pleasant to think that I
could possibly ask for something, and my request would even be
considered.
I am sure that I am a very small spoke in the big Calgel wheel,
but if you take care of all the small spokes, hopefully we can
all grow to be big spokes in the Calgel wheel.
Keep up the good work and customer service. It is so refreshing
in these times to be appreciated, no matter how small the order
is. Who knows maybe one day I could be a big part of Calgel.
Wishing everyone at Calgel a fabulous festive season and wishing
that your business continues to grow from strength to strength
in the New Year to our mutual benefit. Well done everyone.
Kind regards and best wishes"

"After having numerous problems with my existing soak off
gel, I took it upon myself to find a gel to suit the needs of my
clients.
All I had every heard about Calgel was that they were the poor
relation to another soak off gel company. As I was already
having problems with my current supplier and was told they
worked the same way, I didn’t take it upon myself to pursue it
any further.
I was looking for a soak off gel that would produce thin and
natural looking nails. I also wanted a low odour system with a
vast range of semi permanent colours. Calgel offered me all
this.
After an initial conversation with Chris I still wasn’t
convinced. After receiving an information pack, I decided to go
see for myself. I popped along for a “try before you buy”
session with Robyn and boy I was sold. I was shown a clear
overlay, french pink & white, french tipped nail and a coloured
overlay. I was allowed to have a play with the gel and I did.
I’ve never “tried before you buy” and to be honest after a huge
start up cost with my previous supplier I would not of taken
that step again. This enabled me to see for myself and use it
myself before taking the plunge.
Calgel gave me the opportunity to sample their products with no
pressure or commitment. I came away feeling pleasantly surprised
and convinced Calgel was the way forward.
You only need one gel for everything, I was amazed. I had been
using 4 different gels and with Calgel you only needed one. The
finish was amazing and so easy to work with. Sculptures looked
far better, as the gel I had been using before was a green
colour. The strength was remarkable and I really couldn’t
believe that a gel could be as strong as liquid and powder. That
day I purchased my overlay kit and have not looked back.
I have placed numerous orders since then and have had queries
and problems that I have had dealt with efficiently and quickly.
I haven’t felt like the person on the other end of the phone
can’t wait to get off it. Their customer service is second to
none. They also do great offers and multi-buys on a numerous
different product lines (which is what us techs are looking for)
and they tend to be continuous instead of seasonal, which is a
bonus.
Calgel is in no way anyone’s poor relation. They are in a class
of their own."

CALGEL: "Definitely" The Nail System of the Future
Since providing clients with the Calgel Nail System in June this
year it has gone from strength to strength.
The majority of our clients, once having tried it, are returning
again and again making it part of their on-going regime.
The feedback from clients, and indeed staff, has been
astonishing, mainly that:
it lasts longer than any similar product on the market
it doesn't damage the nail, infact it strengthens
it doesn't chip or loose its shine
it looks natural
it is an ideal way to help the nail grow
Also, the vast range of colours available in the nail varnishes
are proving extremely popular making it even easier
for the client to keep their nails looking in top shape for even
longer.
A great big "thank you" Calgel from Melanie Halliday and all
at Envy Hair & Beauty.

Wendy Spring, Salon Director of
Orange Blossom Beauty Limited T/A Pinetree Beauty Salon says
" I was first introduced to Calgel at London Excel in 2005, I
then went on to trial the nail system for myself over the next
four months. I personally have been very impressed with the
Calgel system and how versatile it is. The Pinetree experience
promotes a caring, holistic approach to wellbeing, which has to
be echoed in the wide range of treatments that we provide.
Calgel has been one of my latest developments at the salon.
Since October 2005 I felt the innovative Calgel system, which
uses a blend of organic compounds to safely enhance nails, would
help promote my values of the clients’ ultimate wellbeing.
Calgel gave the clients fabulous looking and healthy nails to be
proud of, and importantly improved the health and safety of both
the client and therapist. I understand nail technicians are soon
to have regulations imposed in the area.
The result of the Calgel system being introduced into the salon
has meant an increase in my nail business of 93% to date and has
been a major player in the growth of nail treatments and retail
sales at Pinetree Beauty Salon.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the Calgel team who
have supported me through this development process. They have
provided me with help on marketing and branding the product,
providing an excellent training programme for my therapists.
Stock ordering is quick and speedy with a next day delivery - it
has all contributed toward this success story".

Tracy Bengougam of Pure in St Albans in Hertfordshire
says "We introduced the Calgel system to our clients five years
ago and haven't looked back. Our clients love the natural look
of Calgel and recommend the product, and my salon, to their
friends. Calgel nails represents 15-20% of our turnover and
continues to grow apace".

Jan Hoult says "We live in a society that wants
instant visual results in our appearance. That’s why I chose
Calgel to work with.
Salons and mobile technicians need a unique selling point to
offer clients, value for money and a healthy product that will
not be detrimental to their nails.
Calgel has many key features, such as a single gel application,
practically odourless if used in the beauty salon. It has no
harmful acid primers, minimal buffing required, and amazingly
soaks off in around 10-12 minutes. Fast and clean to use,
fantastic results every time, self-levelling and lots of colours
to choose from.
You can paint Calgel nail polish over the top of the gel so the
clients can carry out their own infill at home, which will not
chip or crack.
I cannot recommend Calgel enough".

3. Consumers also attest to the success of Calgel.
The girl who did my nails, I think her name was Natalie, was
a wonder. They are now strong and beauftifully shaped and the
range of colours she has is amazing. I adore the glittery ones.
I cannot thank you enough. For the first time in years I have
nails to be I will pass on the good news to everyone I see.
Thanks for giving me the salons in my area and thank you for
Calgel!.
Many thanks
Mrs Christine Priestly

"I've been visiting a professional for the last 3 months and
am DELIGHTED with the effect Calgel has had on my nails. They
are now strong and healthy and I don't need to hide them under
coloured polish.
I had soft, flaky nails forever. The only way to keep them
looking reasonable was to cover them with coloured varnish,
which was not very practical, to say the least considering that
I was a ward nurse.
Products available at chemists did not help at all. I wasted a
lot of money trying different things. However, since using
Calgel my nails are now strong and (if I may say so) very
attractive! I can't believe how fast they grow. I guess they
always did, but as they broke so easily I never realised it! "
