My experience was ok nothing special. The technician burned a couple time and I asked her to do my nails more on the thicker end bc I work a lot with my hands. She did not listen and made my nails thin and also all types of different lengths . I had acrylic and gel done, it typically lasts me 3-4 weeks, it's been 1 week and I already have chipped and broken nails. Not happy at all won't be coming back ! read more

Well, I have been going here for years and love the place. My daughter and I go together every few months. No complaints until today. I was getting a pedicure and as she was scraping my heel she went to hard and took a chunk of my skin off. It took awhile to stop the bleeding and I had to limp out of there. Worst was when they charged me for it!! Sadly, we won't be going back. read more

I like this nail salon a lot! They're very friendly and efficient. My nails always look like how I want! They're great. They do parties and have wine (if you book a party). They are in a semi awkward location so if you don't know what you're looking for, you might miss it! It also makes for a pretty small parking lot. But I've never had an issue finding parking :-) Overall, it's a great experience and I'll keep coming back! Will definitely be booking a mani/pedi party just because! read more

I am very delayed in writing this review and sorry to be this late! As many know, I've been looking for my "go to" nail salon for months now and....I've found the place! Extremely clean - the owner REALLY has an excellent business model here. Yes, it's attached to an auto repair shop; but hey for those gals that need a "one stop shop" (oil change and mani/pedi) - this is REALLY the place for you! There's a great bar height mani location - this is great for both the customer AND the nail technicians! And, when they get a liquor license, think about the cute cocktails that you can have while getting a manicure! Tammy did my pedicure and I asked for a "unique" design! My baseball team was in the playoffs, so I opted for a themed pedicure and although it was unusual, she pulled it off perfectly (despite the fact my team didn't go all the way)! Clean, bright, nice music and overall great place. The only "con" and something I'm not even going to deduct a star for, is the parking. It's a little tricky on a busy day; but if you are fitness focused, you can get a little walk in too - so you can turn the "con" into a "pro"! My new go to place! read more

My first time getting acrylics done and I couldn't be any more happier with the results! I got my nails done by Shay! She's amazing and got them done in about 30 minutes!! I decided on pink acrylic powder in shade 58 and the accent shiny nail in 176! read more

This place was VERY disappointing. I made an appointment with Tammy. She did my pedicure in about 15 minutes. Right after she finished, she didn't ask if I wanted to wait a few minutes to let the polish dry, she lifted the arm rest and gave me my purse. There is nail polish on my skin where she was sloppy. The price is low, but so is the quality. The nail file she used wasn't new. There was used towels on other chairs that needed to be picked up. The overall feel of this place is dirty. I would never go to this bare bones nail salon again. The whole experience put me in a bad mood. I just moved here and I know where not to go. read more

Be Polished Nails-Spa - Bad pedicure - Waxing Near Me - Vista, California

Okay-- let me just tell you... I am SO thankful I found Be Polsihed... If you're looking for a full set that won't be too thick or rounded, this is where you want to go... "clunky" describes the nails I had done before i found Be Polished.. and i would drive all the way to carlsbad for the longest time!! Ever since I found Troy at Be Polished two years ago, this is the ONLY place i will go to.. (and I've since moved to Temecula but will still comute to Vista for a full set here by him!!) If your anything like me, you're looking for natural looking full set with longer-ish acrylic nails that are NOT too thick and rounded from the gel etc. but perfectly shaped and symmetrical (I like thinner looking acrylics that also don't break and are EVEN!!)-- Troy has always had that perfectionist eye and takes his time. He deserve those tips honestly, I have never been disappointed here. Love how friendly everyone is and would highly recommend you give it a try!! read more

Very nice staff, good atmosphere. Great work. My favorite nail salon. Natalie is great...

Today was my first visit here. Arrived right when they opened. Decent place inside. Good choice of colors. What is giving this place 5 stars is Natalie. She did a superb job on my pedicure and shellac/gel manicure. Best shellac manicure I've ever received. She was friendly and paid attention to every detail. So excited to find a decently priced nail salon that does a great job. Yay! read more

My first time here and I'm definitely coming back! Called to make an appt as it was Friday and I didn't know what to expect- I got a Hawaiian delux pedicure and manicure... Ummm it came with a margarita! Whaaaat!!? Loved everything about my experience, they were very friendly (Natalie did my pedicure), spa was clean and it was relaxing... Natalie took her time on my foot massage it was probably the best pedicure that I've had!! Great prices and a great variety of colors. I also got a gel manicure (not sure my techs name)and although it was a little confusing to explain to them I wanted an American manicure which uses a softer white for the tips and looks much more natural they got it and nailed it!! :) The salon is huge! It's in the old PepBoys building, parking is a bit limited but there is plenty of parking on the side street. read more

Absolutely loved it here! The wait time was kinda long but for good reason they are very good! Pricing is affordable and they do a great job from the shape of the nail, not too thick to the design. They did a beautiful snowflake on my ring fingers. They are friendly and patient I changed my mind a few times but they were not rude about it at all. Only downside is the wait time but I'd recommend just to book an appointment. read more

I made an appointment for a manicure with dip powder. Everything was fine until the person doing my nails started. It seemed odd to me that he was using the nail drill and then started putting the powder. I do not whatsoever have a cosmetology degree but from previous experience a manicure typically is soaking your hand and making your nails look polished and clean, but not here. He started putting my the dip powder and all that. He made my nails way to short to the point where I was in pain when he filed my nails then and I told him but he really didn't pay attention. I wasn't content at all. The biggest issue I had was the price. When I was going to pay she told me it was $35 and I was SHOOK! How can a dip powder "manicure" cost more than a full set. I asked her why it was so much and she said that it was because of the dip powder. I go ahead and tell her that I didn't even get a proper manicure which is why I was there for. She goes ahead and tells me that I only got the dip powder service and the manicure wasn't even done. I was beyond mad! It just didn't make sense that dip powder alone is a $35 charge. I don't think I'm coming again here. The price was outrages for the type of service that I got and didn't even get the service I wanted done . read more

This was great for what my mom and I were looking for. Jade did a great job with the pedicure. She was fast and thorough. The manicure was great as well. I believe the manicurist was Kathy. Came on a Saturday and we were helped right away, but they stated they are busy Friday through Sunday. Had a lot of fun and this was the quickest, best mani/pedi I've ever had. Thanks, Be Polished! read more

the worst acrylic job I've ever had in my life. I had chosen a back to white ombré color. the technician grabbed the wrong color and when I pointed it out he told me it will change with next coat. was he wrong! I left with the ugliest blue green I have ever seen and I cried all the way home. what a waste of 60 dollars. gel polish doesn't remove easily. disaster! read more

Had a hard time finding a salon in the area...every time I think I find one I like they do something to frustrated me. Be Polished I felt welcomed the first time I walked in the door...they were more than happy to give my son a mani/pedi and he enjoys the pampering much more than mom cutting his nails. I always get a design and they have never minded the creative designs I find on Pinterest. Between them and my son they usually alter to make it unique. When I don't bring my son they aways ask about him...So glad we found a salon that we feel at home at and my son can't wait to have nails done read more

Never coming back here again worst pedicure, caused an infection on my toe due to the tools they use not being properly cleaned/sterilized.

DO NOT GO HERE. I only write reviews when I feel really passionate about an experience I've had and this was one of them. I completely forgot to get the name of the woman who did my nails (which was stupid of me) but she was extremely rough with my nails, seemed rushed, did a shitty job. My gel manicure was all uneven. I itched around my fingernails for a week and it looked like I had fungus because my skin was all peeling off. Its seems like there's only one good person at this shop. Either way you shouldn't go anywhere that doesnt use sanitized tools. Obviously this is one of them. Fuck this place. Its cheap in price, its the reason I went here a few times. Spend a little more and go some where else. 0 stars read more

AWUL EXPERIENCE Giving one star because NO STARS wasn't an option. Went to go get a basic gel manicure, not only was the nail technician not very friendly. However the service it's self was awful. When I asked the technician to fix the nails I had a problem with she replied "it's because your nails are like this". Asked her to clean up the nails and she proceeded to FILE AND CLIP MY SKIN THAT HAD POLISH. I would never recommend anyone to go here and only paid to get out of there. read more

3.5 stars. Came here on a Friday morning for a pedicure. I had a coupon for 40% off which made it very affordable. I got the middle pedicure (the New York I think). Natalie did a wonderful job and my feet have never been softer. I left thinking that I had found a new go to salon. However on Saturday night I put on a pair of shoes and both big toes smudged. They did such a good job I'm willing to give them another shot but I might bring my own polish next time. read more

I have been a regular for a couple visits. And it wasn't until today that I left satisfied. Natalie did a great job and she was very friendly. My visits before today were uncomfortable because the other workers tend to be excessively chatty. I don't mind the Vietnamese but sometimes it feels unprofessional. The gel they use here actually works that's a reason why I come back. Prices are fair. $25 gel manicure read more

I'm not a person who really complains about anything. However, this previous time I went to get a pedicure done, whatever the lady was using to clean my feet before polishing, was burning my foot. I thought my foot was just getting irritated from it but as soon as I went to go pay and leave, I noticed my foot was burned. There's no way that the nail lady didn't notice something off about my foot as well. I called the next day to let them know and it seemed like they didn't believe what happened to me, especially because my receipt didn't line up with the care I got. When I went in to show them what happened, they asked if it was a blister instead of it being caused from what they did to me. They went to give me a refund with a gift card and I'm not coming back here, so it sucks I couldn't get a refund through cash or credit card. My friend and I were also over charged. We were both charged $50 and when they went to give me the refund they said it was $38. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Very rude owner/manager woman. When we came in we waited 45 minutes for with no communication from anyone there. When asked how long it would be we were snapped at by the manager/owner. The workers are always unhappy and act like you are bothering them with your business. So the 4 of us left with only two of us completed...we went to a much nicer and friendlier salon on University Ave in Vista. Also, beware the have a habit of over charging and don't give itemized receipts. Do not waste your money there at Be Polished Nails on E Vista Way!! read more

I don't know where to start with this place. I wanted to like this place and I've been here many times. The first thing is the pricing is different every single time you go in. The latest time I was charged 140 something dollars without a tip. For a new set and a pedicure. Sometimes it's 180 sometimes it's 120 based on pricing it should be closer to 120. I had a male gentleman who I told what I wanted and he completely did the opposite because he was upset that I was on the phone clearly for work. And he would make rude comments. The woman who did my pedicure claimed that they didn't have chrome while the woman who was doing my nails was doing chrome. So my feet did not come out the same as my hands, which is frustrating, considering how much money I'm paying to have the service done. The ambience completely sucks for the price. It is literally next to an autobody shop and if you're looking to relax, don't bother because they won't let you put the massage chairs on if they're doing both at once.I was really hoping for something better but it's just a racket. read more

These ladies are usually great but today not so great. I waited almost 20 minutes before someone even started my soak. Then I felt rushed and my girl did a sloppy job removing my polish and on my callous treatment as well. I had to fix my callouses when I got home to smooth them out. This is my first unfavorable experience with them. They usually are great. I'll still come back and be more vocal over what I want next time. That's what happens when everyone is in a hurry. read more

After making an appointment at my normal place and being told to wait an hour I decided to just wing it and come here. I am so glad I did!! They got me in as soon as I walked in, the girl working on my pedicure did such a great job! (My goes we're ferocious I was embarrassed) but my feet look amazing and feel baby soft! The gentleman who did my nails, although not talkative at all, he really made up for in his work! I've been to at least 4 different salons around Vista and this is the best my nails have ever come out :) So all in all, my nails and toes are very happy and oh so beautiful! Thanks guys! read more

I've been here a few times and it's not always perfect but they do a very good job 90% of the time. This last time they sat me down with a young man which, honestly, made me a little nervous because I assumed he was inexperienced and wouldn't do a good job. As it turned out, it was one of the best gel manicures I've ever gotten. Ask for Brandon, he is very sweet, takes his time and is very meticulous. Two weeks later my mani is still holding up! read more

Whoever was on phones today needs to get out of that shop. This place is awesome but unfortunately we will not be going there anymore simply because of this employee. I called to book 3 services which mean 3 CLIENTS- I asked if they had a specific time available to which they said no, I kindly asked what times they were available and she stayed quiet so I said "hello?" And she said anytime but that time. I gave her a time and she laughed and said, "I already said no you don't understand?" I was confused as to why she would talk to any client that way, I let it go and asked what times were available AGAIN, and she said, "I can't talk on the phone I have other calls to take." This phone call was literally no longer than 30-40seconds. This definitely wasn't the owner because the owner is a sweetheart and she knows me as a regular client because my entire family has been going there since they first opened. Whoever this was needs to be taught a lesson or retrained- regardless if it's their family's business. It's a customer service business therefore they are required to provide JUST THAT. absolutely ridiculous & unacceptable behavior. read more

This place has terrible customer service. I went with my mom to try to get a pedicure but there was quite a wait (which is expected and we were totally okay with waiting). We were told to look at polish colors while we waited so we did. Nail polish in a bottle looks different when applied. My mom tried a color on one of her fingernails, ONLY ONE and one of the ladies there came and started yelling at her, telling her she couldn't that. Keep in mind my mom only tried it on ONE of her fingernails. She wasn't doing her own manicure or anything. It was a very embarrassing experience. Once I noticed the way they run their business and how no one else said anything to her I decided we were not going to give them our business. We went to another nail salon off of Civic Center Drive next to Mama's and Papa's and had a wonderful experience. I will never return to this establishment and don't recommend it to anyone. read more

It was an Ok experience. Nothing over the top great, nothing totally bad. I came in due to the sign on the door saying 15 dollar pedicures and so I am willing to try a new place out for a deal. They have the awesome massage chairs if thats half the fun for you like it is for me. The experience itself was okay, I was of course told I needed to upgrade to exfoliation. I asked how much and she said five dollars and includes massage. Well it had been a minute and Ive been barefoot all summer so I went for it. The massage consisted of her rubbing it on my legs, there was no real massage. My skin did feel better. I paid 21 and Im wondering if I was charged a dollar for using my card? Anyways, just a little thing I noticed there. Overall good job. read more

Subpar quality and service. My first 1 star review for ANY business or organization , enough said.

I had my first pedicure with Lavender today and it was my best ever.. I had ink all over my foot and after removing ink, I got a wonderful pink set of toes. Vina always does my repairs and fills and now I have a good backup for my gel work. If I need an oil change or brakes, Advanced Auto is next door and then multi task time. Thanks again, Lavender & Vina., pretty in pink again... read more
