    Cut cuticle that's scabbed up and hurts
    Sab R.

    I now need surgery on my toe nail because of this woman! It's been a month of misery and pain. Wish I'd never set foot in this horrible establishment.

    Quynh P.

    I go here from time to time because it's close to my mom's house. Helen never disappoints! Love my gel nails.

    I walked in as a walk in and Helen was super nice ! I recommend her ! Good service and the best nail tech !

    Helen K. was absolutely amazing. Love her so so much. I told her I was a server at a restaurant so she made sure my nails were sustainable during work because I do a lot with food and other things. I appreciated it so much! She also put so much time and detail into it!! 100% Come Here!!!!!!

    I live a few minutes from this salon and was desperate to get my nails done the day before a wedding. All the salons I called were booked up and I was unable to snag an appointment so I thought to give this salon a try based on the good reviews and the fact that it's never looked too busy when I pass by. I regret this decision so much. I walked in at 430 to a completely empty salon except for 1 person working who did my pedicure. During my pedicure, she kept stating that I have small toe nails - I know - and that she'd have to work hard to cut my cuticles in order to make them look better. And boy did she deliver on that statement because she dug into my toe nails and it was extremely painful. Then the owner of the salon came and started on my full set of acrylics. I asked for almond shape which took her nearly 2 hours to shape. She even said "this is a hard shape to accomplish and I want to make sure it looks good for you." Spoiler: it didn't and I had to go home and re-file. I showed her my inspo photo which is a nude pink with white swirls. She kept insisting it was a clear pink. Now the WORST part of this experience is that she burned my finger. Not just a small little burn but a huge chemical burn on my pinky that's now bubbled up. When I showed her the burn and asked what it was, she exclaimed and asked why I didn't tell her I got burned. I literally got my hand back a minute before I asked and noticed it was white and waxy. At this point, I was just desperate to get this appointment over with so I could leave. When she began to paint my nails, she chose a clear pink that was basically clear and I had to again ask for a more pink/nude color. She chose a different color that was more or less the same and I just gave up. While drawing the swirls on one hand, she followed the photo I showed. When she moved to the next hand, she decided to freestyle and added blocks and flames. Not only did it not match my other hand, it's not what I asked for. She then commented on how much better her artistic style was than the photo I showed and asked if I agreed. I didn't but I just wanted to leave so I stayed quiet. She did not give me a discount or offer any sort of compensation for burning my skin. This was a terrible experience. Please don't come here.

    Epic Christmas nails!

    EPIC Nail Artist! If I could give 6 stars, I would. Helen is AMAZING, very careful with each nail, shaping them perfectly. Then she individually placed all those colored sequins! She had about 15 jars of various ones open & was choosing precisely the right ones. She cares about her work, it's very obvious. Customer for life!

    This place is awesome! I went there after a friend's recommendation of where to get my nails done. They sure know how to make you feeeeeeeel good!!!! So I walk in and Lily is the one who helped me out and did my gel manicure and pedicure. She talked to me about how fit I looked and how to be healthier and gave me advice about everything really. Also the owner herself, Helen, helped me pick the best color that suited my event and spent a while getting through with my hesitation until I made my decision. THEY MADE ME SO COMFORTABLE. P.s. you need to call for an appointment, otherwise you will wait a whil! But enjoy the well decent treat =)

    Basic black manicure with glitter. $12

    My first time here even though it's down the street from me. Very friendly girls. My nails were done by a girl named Tammy who was very nice and asked me about myself, which doesn't happen often at these places. She did an amazing job on my nails. She took her time and even gave me a tip about putting lotion on my hands (they get dry from washing my hands at work all day). I would definitely come here again and I have no clue why I hadn't come before. It's closer than the other places I've been going to lately. My manicure was only $12 which is a great price. Next time I'm doing a manicure and pedicure which is $22 and who could say no to that price?! Very highly recommend them. Nice girls. Great prices.

    Back at it again with the flawless nails. I haven't been here for a couple of months. It feels good to be back because Helen knows what shes doing. She knows all the answers to questions about nails. A full set with Gel is $35 pretty cheap compared to other places.

    Easter egg nails!
    Lorraine T.

    I'm picky I mean super picky when it comes to my acrylic nails. They must be perfect! Helen is a perfectionist!! She shapes them just right, thin too. Sometimes it takes me a while to get back on and they don't break. Nail polish is on my nail and not my skin lol. Lily does a great job as well. Seriously found my girls!!

    This was my first time visiting Polished Nail Salon, and I'm beyond impressed--especially since I…read moremade a very last-minute appointment. Steven did an absolutely amazing job on my nails; his attention to detail was spot-on, and they came out exactly how I wanted. I showed a photo for inspiration, and he truly mirrored it perfectly. Susan pedicure was next level--relaxing, detailed, and so well done. The whole experience was top-tier, and the staff was accommodating and welcoming. I will most definitely be back!

    This nail salon is now under new management for those familiar with the previous owners (Cindy and…read moreher family) - myself included. I used to be a semi-regular customer but took a six-month break from getting my nails done, so I hadn't been back until recently. I only found out about the management change after seeing the updates on Yelp. While they've kept the same name, Polished Nails, the business is completely independent from the previous management. I visited the other day for a gel-x soak-off after my three-week trip to Asia - I was long overdue for a clean-girl manicure and pedicure. I initially walked in without an appointment (rookie mistake!), so I definitely recommend making an appointment if you plan to visit. Steven was working on another customer when I arrived, but he kindly scheduled me to come back later that day - totally fair, given I hadn't called ahead. Steven and Hannah (new couple) completely remodeled the space, giving it a fresh, modern look. They've also expanded their selection with new polish colors and trendy design options, including textured effects like velvet (cat-eye), intricate 3D art, minimalist styles like micro French and nude diagonals, and bold finishes such as liquid-metal chrome and aura gradients. Steven and Hannah are offering 20% off for all services since they just had their grand re-opening. I requested a basic gel manicure ($35.00), organic basic gel pedicure ($42.00) and my gel-x soak-off ($10.00) - the total was $90.00 and with the 20% off, everything came out to be $72.00 (tipped separately). Though I only got a regular manicure without any designs, I was honestly so impressed by how meticulous and detailed Steven was. I change my nail color pretty often, and I've always wanted that perfect deep burgundy but for some reason, other salons/nail techs could never quite get the tone right. When I showed Steven the shade I had in mind, he did something unexpected: he mixed two different burgundy colors to create the exact tone I wanted. I've never had anyone do that before, and the result was spot on! Even with shaping, I usually have to "inspect" my nails afterward and request small fixes but not this time. Steven got it right on the first try, both in color and shape. It was practically perfect from the start, which says a lot! Regarding this specific Yelp page, it's important to note that it has been acquired by the new owners, Steven and Hannah. I recommend filtering the photos by "newest first" so you can see the updated nail designs and work done by them from August 2025 onward. Any older photos (prior to August) reflect the previous management - Cindy and her family, who no longer operate the salon. By doing this, you'll be able to see the difference in results and style between the previous management and the new one. Lastly, if you're someone who prefers a quiet, relaxing environment and wants to escape the loud, crowded nail salons in the area - while still getting quality nail art and care - I highly recommend coming here. It's peaceful, not overcrowded, and you can actually hear your own thoughts without feeling rushed.

She kept refusing that they had that, and that I was making it up. I had to get up of my seat and show her the sign. In addition she kept refusing to fix my seat to where I was comfortable. My knees were bent since I am tall and in addition I am pregnant. She was refusing to fix the chair for my comfort angel. The last straw was the small-mid size cockroach that was crawling on my arm. Not coming back. For a place that acts like they're upscale...the service is not there and if you have cockroaches you are not clean enough.

They survived camping all the typing and paper work, ABSOLUTELY ZERO lifting on any of my nails... First 2 is what I wanted. Last 2 is what I received.

My mom came with me to get a basic mani-pedi, because she doesn't need the works because she had awesome nails, and the ladies ensures that we had water, when my mom got a little too hot they turned the air on more and even brought over a little fan for her Donna did an amazing job on my pedicure!!! It has been at least 5 years since I've gotten my last "me" day, that this was sssooo needed. I felt bad that she had to duck from my calluses but she toughed it out like a champ and made my feet baby soft again!!! And if you're looking for CLEANLINESS, HERES WHERE YOU SHOULD GO! Everything is sterile and has its own packaging that gets opened right in front of your no need to worry about catching someone's funk. I decided last minute about a waxing, but unfortunately it was already occupied. But they are right around the corner, so I can always schedule another appointment for just that. I'm sure they will be amazing at waxing!!! Needless to say ladies and gentlemen, you will want to make this your new go to salon!! OH!!! Make sure that you check their websites for their monthly deals!!!

    I've been coming here for 6 years now, since the pandemic, and I've always praised this place for…read moretheir pedicure service. However, after my recent experience, I will no longer be returning. Making the appointment was easy, and we were seated within minutes, which I appreciated. When asked what package we wanted, I requested the deluxe pedicure for myself and my sister, and the basic pedicure for my daughter. The total came out to about $150. My issue is with the quality and time spent on the services. For a deluxe pedicure, which costs $45+, I expect the full service and attention that comes with that price. In the past, the deluxe service usually lasted 45+ minutes, while the basic service was around 30 minutes. My sister and I both received the deluxe service, yet she was completely done within 25-30 minutes. It felt rushed, with corners being cut by trying to do multiple things at once. Unfortunately, the callus remover was not done properly for either of us, which was very disappointing. After years of loyal business, I expected better quality and consistency.

    I really don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel like I have to share my experience. I came…read morein for a gel set and immediately noticed some of the nails looked bubbly after curing. The nail tech kept telling me to cure the gel over and over, which felt unusual. After applying the top coat, she started filing the edges, and gel polish actually began seeping out from the sides. When I asked if that was normal, she insisted that it was. They offered me a discount, so I paid $30 for the set. However, when I got to work -- literally 10 minutes later -- and started typing, gel polish began oozing out of my nails. The gel started chipping almost instantly. For anyone who doesn't know, uncured gel polish can lead to contact dermatitis, which is dangerous and not something to take lightly. Out of concern, I went back to the salon at 6 PM. When I walked in, the owner (I assume) was extremely dismissive. I asked her to please look at my nails because the polish was all over my hands. She refused to get up because she was with a client. When I asked if someone could just remove the polish, she said, "I am not going to stop halfway with my client who has an appointment. Can you wait 30 minutes?" I ended up waiting 45 minutes. When I was finally taken back, the owner removed the polish using a drill bit, cutting me multiple times and burning my nails by holding the drill in one spot for too long. Overall, it was an unsafe and stressful experience. Save yourself the headache -- and the potential health issues.
