Luna and Linda are really great! I got a mani pedi and they both did a phenomenal job. They were really nice as well when I didn't like the initial color I picked and let me pick a new one :) read more

please DO NOT come here. extremely subpar service: - increased their prices by 30% between my appointments - my dip powder manicure lasted less than 4 days before it started lifting off of all of my nails - I came back to have them fix it and she did a much worse job (somehow) than the first time, and 1 day later the top coat is peeling off - I spend no less than 2 hours here each time, and have spent 4 hours here for a terrible $70 manicure (not including tip that they ASK you for even after you register your displeasure with the service) awful awful business, please go elsewhere read more

I never go to other nail salons, but decided to try this one out because apparently it reopened under new ownership? Anyways, spur of the moment decided to go here because it was my first time trying somewhere new by my work. BIG MISTAKE! The person doing my nails used a dirty drill on me and I remember getting burnt from the drill bit, a few weeks when my acrylics came off I noticed a green weird spot on one of my nails and a white area that looked like it was peeling... I tried to file it away and now this is what it looks like! I got some kind of infection on my nail and now have to get a doctors visit and pay for that to get it fixed! I've never had anything happen like this before and had seen horror stories of this happening to others but never thought it would happen to me! I'm so mad and upset I trusted them with my nails! Never again and learned my lesson that this is why I don't go to new nail places! read more

My bestie and I got a mani pedi here. We both agreed that the chairs gave a great massage. Linda and Luna (owner) did a great job! Aesthetic was on the nicer end for a nail salon. read more

I showed up for my usual appointment last weekend to be informed that Jolie was on vacation for a month, which was weird as she would always tell me when she'd be away. I just learned from yelp that H Polish has been sold and is under new management! A lot of things make sense now. While I was at the salon, workers had a trash can and were emptying out drawers at the manicure station right next to me. The new staff are inexperienced with dip. My manicure on Saturday took almost 2 hours and I left with some nails perfectly done and a few nails where the color was patchy and uneven. Sadly, I won't be back. read more

I rarely get my nails done, and when I do, it's as much about relaxation and being taken care of as it is about leaving with pretty fingers and toes. Today, I got it all - I enjoyed the massage chair and some hand and foot rubbing ahead of the trimming and painting, all at a completely unrushed pace. Oh, and pretty fingers and toes, too. read more

Mary and Luna did a great job on my pedi&manicure. They're also running a 10% discount right now so check them out.

Sad to say, but the updates are true! I've been coming to H Polish regularly to see Jolie for dip manicures for over 5 years now. She always offered efficient, high-quality, long-lasting work and cared for the health of my nails over anything else. Two weeks ago when I walked in for my scheduled appointment I was informed that Jolie and her family moved and that the salon was under new management. While they honored my appointment, the quality of work and the appointment experience itself just isn't the same. It took nearly 3 hours for a dip manicure and gel, pedicure and the drill was over used both on my hand and my toes a number of times (ouch!). Not to mention that my dip polish is already starting to lift only two weeks after the appointment. I used to come to H Polish because it was peaceful, calm, and personable...unfortunately that is no longer the case. Sad to say, but I won't be returning unless somehow Jolie miraculously returns. read more

I have been coming here for years to see Jolie for dip powder, and it looks like I am in good company with some of the other reviewers. Jolie was the absolute best in the city and you would be out in an hour with great nails that were healthy and would last forever. The new team who owns this spot are all super kind and friendly. There are some major differences in the process and quality though. It takes about 1.5 hours now to get a short dip powder done. A lot more Dremel work is now being done on your natural nails, which wouldn't bother me except my nail beds hurt after and it feels like my nails are getting weaker and I see a crack forming on my thumb nail for the first time in my life (this is a concern). Also they use a gel top coat with UV lamps instead of the traditional dip powder top coat polish that naturally dries in a few minutes, which is another major difference in the process. They still use Jolie's decor which I appreciate, because it is super nice compared to other nail businesses in the area. Also, instead of playing tranquil music on the TV like the previous owners, the Food Network was on for my last two visits (some people may like this more). This is my second time back to see how things will go with all the changes, so I'm hoping that they keep making changes to keep getting better. read more

The quality and service here is fantastic! I got a full deep Nail set with Loan and wow I'm just in love with these nails. She is very careful with my nails and paid attention to details. She did a beautiful job The salon is clean and organized with lots of color and design choices. Iwalk -In and was seen very quickly. All the staff were very nice read more

Jolie will be dearly missed! My roommate and I had been coming to Jolie for years for dip manicures and always had amazing experiences but unfortunately H Polish was sold at the end of May, and Jolie is no longer working here. The new owners are very inexperienced when it comes to dip. They also tried to avoid informing us Jolie had sold the business. We had to ask about four times before they finally said she moved and wouldn't be coming back. They were offering 10% discounts for their reopening, but did not offer me the same since I had already had an appointment scheduled. They've increased the prices, and the quality doesn't match the cost. Can't speak to regular manicures/ pedicures, but cannot recommend them for dip. I ended up reshaping my nails and adding my own top coat after my appointment because they were all uneven and the normal shine was not there. read more

While Jolie is out of town, her cousin has taken over. My nail person was Mary, she was very sweet and did an excellent job. I highly recommend her, she was friendly, professional, and thorough. The salon is well maintained and very clean. The new staff seems to still be familiarizing themselves with where Jolie keeps everything/running the business, but I'm confident they will figure it out after a little more time in the shop. read more

I was coming here for years because Jolie did the best dip manicures that would last at least 3-4 weeks. I was not informed when making my appointment that Jolie was no longer working here. When I showed up, they were redoing the dip swatches, so I had to just pick a dip container out of the bin without knowing what it would actually look like, so I didn't get the exact color I was hoping for. The dip manicure was poor quality and only lasted 1.5 weeks. I will not be coming back here for dip again. read more

I got a great mani and pedi from Mary who was lovely. Very clean, comfortable place, with a bonus for a fun show on and Lindt chocolate. I will be back! read more

I've been coming to H Polish Nails since December 2021 after trying many nail salons in the Richmond and NOPA districts. Their service and attention to detail are great. The salon is renovated and looks good, and they are clean. What I think stands H Polish nails part is they provides the most longest lasting dip manicures! I have gone 7 weeks with one dip manicure! It was so grown out so it didn't look great for that reason, But the whole nail color stayed intact. I typically go every 4-5 weeks in between dip manicures, and every other visit for my gel pedicures. I've attached a photo from my nails I had done for my wedding, the color "let's be friends" is my absolute fave and I always get compliments. Anyways, don't look further for a salon that'll give you a manicure that you can get your moneys worth. read more

Like some of the others have stated I've been coming here for years, Jolie was able to make the manicure last for 3-4 weeks. With the new owners, they pretended Jolie is just away for vacation, jacked up the The gel nails barely lasted a week. So disappointing. I will not be back. read more

I went to h nails and I was super impressed with how detailed they were. The staff really took their time to make sure everything was perfect, from shaping my nails to applying the polish. The place was clean and had a chill vibe, making it a really nice experience overall. If you're looking for a spot that really pays attention to the little things, I totally recommend checking out if you are in the Richmond area read more

I wanna start by saying I've never had a bad mani or pedi experience here. I've been coming here since the pandemic once every 3-4 weeks and it's always been great. My dip always lasts forever and the ladies take their time with shaping and filing. So why the low rating? I've finally had enough of their appointment system. Since the beginning, I've been booking through their website. Their system allows you to book online and then they'll send you a first text telling you that your request is pending. Then shortly after they'll send a follow up text confirming the appointment. About a month ago, I used the system and had my appointment confirmed. Then a day or so later, I get a text saying the shop will be closed on the day I booked and if I could choose a different day. So I gave my availability and confirmed on a different day that week. The day of, I arrived at the shop just to have every lady in the store stare at me as if I shouldn't be there. I showed my confirmation text thread and then proceeded to get on a call with the man who confirmed my appointment where he said he was sorry but he forgot to actually pencil me in even though he had told me I was confirmed. There was no offer to comp me for my troubles or time as they told me they were completely booked for the rest of the day. I was disappointed but I accepted that and went home. A month later, I decided to try again online. I booked my appointment, got the confirmation text and showed up at the day/time of my appointment. Once AGAIN, the ladies looked at me as if I shouldn't be there. And once again, I had to show my confirmation texts to prove I indeed had an appointment. I also made a comment saying "I can't believe this happened again" b/c I'm pretty sure they recognized me. I've been a loyal patron for years.. they ended up taking me but the entire appointment felt rushed as they had not anticipated me. Anyways, I'm done with this place. No matter how pleasant my nail experience is here, I'm sorely disappointed in the fact that I've had my appointment messed up two twice in a row. I'll unfortunately be taking myself to another place in the future. read more

Avoid this place if you can. I wanted to come to a nail salon to relax and get nails beautified...they grabbed my fingers way too hard and kept arguing with me about how I didn't make a long enough appointment, and they didn't do a good job. After I paid, I found visible flaws and asked them to fix them. They tried to fix it and still looked flawed, and then they kicked me out with anger because I told them I am not coming back again. What a waste of $120 and my 3 hours. read more

Really bad at abiding my appointments, been rescheduled on a couple of times at crucial times (including one of my wedding events)

Jolie did my dip powder. I asked for white chrome and LOVE how it turned out! My previous set was also done by Jolie and my nails lasted 3-4 weeks without chipping, I am amazed. I would definitely recommend this place for dip powder. read more

I can't stop staring at my nails! I've been coming to this nail salon consistently since 2019, and anywhere else is simply inadequate now. Every nail technician here is professional and I always leave a happy customer. I came in late one day for a gel manicure + nail art, and both my technician and the owner were patient in listening to my requests. They had every opportunity to cut corners and apply less coats to wrap up for the day, but they did not. They were very meticulous during the cuticle cleaning and applied more than enough coats of polish. I am a happy customer! Pro tip: call to make an appointment; they get busy during peak hours. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Came in on a Thursday afternoon. The place had one other customer but the staff was extremely rude! She was super rough with my fingers. She was also giving me attitude and yelling at me to relax my fingers while she was pinching it so hard. She proceeded to say mean things in her language. Never had a worse nail salon experience. Still gave her a tip because the nails turned out ok but would not come back. Why am I paying to get treated like crap! read more

This review is long overdue! I've been going to H polish for about a year and have been nothing but 100% happy with every visit. Jolie is so sweet and her work is so thorough and detailed. If you tell her exactly what you want, she delivers exceptional results every time! Especially now as the salon is finally allowed to reopen during covid, Jolies care and her meticulous work shines. She is taking every safety measure she can, such as only allowing in one client (and herself) in the salon at a time, taking your temperature and making you sanitize your hands at the door, disinfecting every surface (and the chair!) before she seats you, having acrylic glass dividers up at the tables to keep both client and herself extra safe - and wearing a mask of course! I'm so happy I get to get my nails done here again and I wouldn't go anywhere else in the city. I always get dip powder on my natural nails and they last a good 3-4 weeks. I work in retail and work with my hands all day and never have an issue with chipping prematurely. For $45 (not including tip) that's amazing! read more

I have been going to H polish consistently for 2.5 years and recently the service have drastically changed. The last 2/3 appointments I scheduled they forgot to "pencil" me in and wouldn't take my appointment even though I had a text proof of the scheduling. Additionally, they have been super rough and aggressively electric filing my nails to the point it hurt for days following my appt. When I nicely asked if they could reduce the filing, they berated me and acted like my request was unreasonable. Unfortunately, I will be going elsewhere from now on. read more

I have been to this salon many times because they do a great job. Today I came in for a dip manicure and gel pedicure. I mentioned that the last time my dip was a little bumpy and asked that she could file it a bit longer this time. The young woman working is usually in a grouchy mood but she usually does a great job so I usually don't talk while there. This time she flipped a handle because I gave her constructive criticism very nicely. She then refused to do my nails and told me to go elsewhere. This is after giving her praises about her work. For her to yell at me in front of another customer or even at all was rude and in appropriate. Like I said before she always did a good job and I tipped her very well because of that. On another note, the older woman working was very apologetic and seemed a bit embarrassed. She insisted on doing a pedicure for me. Again, this place does a good job but the young lady working is always grouchy and at times a bit rude. It's too bad because I live two blocks away in Laurel Heights and the salon is very convenient for me. Unfortunately, I will not be back because of the customer service. I'm giving them 2 stars because the other employees, the older woman and the original woman (who is on maternity leave) are nice and polite. The younger woman definitely needs to take some lessons on being nice to people. I wouldn't recommend this place as there are many other salons who have much sweeter staff. No matter how good a job they do being treated so rudely is a dealbreaker. read more

I came for a pedicure and a dip manicure. The customer service was the worst I've ever experienced. I arrived at 4:55 for a 5pm appointment and wasn't seen until 5:30. They rushed through my pedicure and barely even scrubbed the dead skin off. For the dip manicure, I was struggling to pick a color and the woman helping me seemed visibly frustrated and in a rush. When she was done, I told her that the dip was too thick and she proceeded to gaslight me saying "that's how dip is". I've been doing dip for years and this is not how it is. I asked for them to be fixed and she stood up, gathered her stuff and moved to take another customer after being super rude to me. After being persistent, another woman helped fix my nails, while the original woman visibly complained about me. I wouldn't recommend going here, it's a waste of time, money, the place is not clean, and the service is horrible. read more

If you've never been to H Polish Nail Salon, I strongly urge you to choose another salon. Today, I had a terrible experience when I brought my 5-year-old daughter here for a mani-pedi. I arrived at 12:15 PM, but to my surprise, the door was locked even though they were supposed to be open since 10 AM. Eventually, a young woman opened the door without even greeting me properly. I greeted her and requested a mani-pedi, presenting a gift certificate I received from a friend for my birthday. The certificate was dated 1.19.23 and was valid for six months, until 7.19.23 (meaning I still had 5 days left). I could immediately sense annoyance on the woman's face upon seeing the gift certificate, and she promptly declined, claiming it had expired. I explained that it was not expired, and that six months from 1.19.23 would be 7.19.23. At that point, she and two other employees started arguing loudly in Vietnamese about the date, then directed their screaming at me, insisting that it was indeed expired and they couldn't honor it. I was taken aback by their behavior towards a customer, especially one with a young child. My daughter was frightened and clung to my side. Given that there were no other customers in the store, it seemed like this was their normal behavior when they thought no one was watching. After a lengthy and heated argument lasting 2-3 minutes, the owner or one of the three employees grudgingly said, "Fine, but the mani-pedi will now cost $52, so you'll have to pay an extra $7" (the value of the gift certificate was $45). I expressed my disappointment at their disrespectful treatment and clarified that paying the difference was not an issue. My friend had used her hard-earned money to gift me this certificate for my birthday, and the owner was trying to undermine that. She was incredibly rude and showed no remorse. She even hid her face in another room until more customers arrived, forcing her to come out. The other two ladies who did my mani-pedi quietly apologized after they finished and did a good job. I reluctantly paid the $7 difference and left a tip since they apologized and performed well. I am still in shock and utterly disgusted by how the owner treated me and her employees. She displayed violence and unprofessionalism, making her unfit for the service industry. I strongly advise against seeking any services at this salon. read more

May I discuss why my nail shop is BETTER than your nail shop? Let us count the ways: 1. My Julie! She's a perfectionist! She's a go-getter and a trend setter! If she doesn't believe she can do it perfectly- she's going to tell you honestly and upfront! 1a. Julie is meticulous. No extra powder, no ragged, jagged edges! She checks repeatedly to ensure that your nails are smooth and strong. 2. The Atmosphere: It's a beautifully small shop. They're not going to over book so they can make every coin that comes their way! They are appointment driven, but when they have room for the occasional walk-in they are happy to take you on. It's luxuriously tiny. They've made awesome use of every inch of space. It's white, clean, with fresh flowers always to be greet you as you enter. 2a. Speaking of atmosphere: There's not a whole lot of unnecessary personal chatter between the employees. They want you to have a pleasant and relaxing spa experience and I truly appreciate that. 3. Personalization: You are NOT just another customer. They sincerely care about you. Kevin took my call that I needed to reschedule after going into the ER the day before. He relayed the message to the team and they were ready for me when I showed up! They were so kind and considerate- all they cared about was that I was okay to have services done. (Note: They only have a beautiful toasted green tea and filtered water on sight. No Coffee!!) I placed my order with Peet's and Kevin (the sweetheart) ran and got it for me! Talk about speechless. "Elites" this is our new spot! FLOOD THIS PLACE! The energy is awesome. The people are awesome. The facilities are awesome. The quality is CONSISTENT!!! Geary boulevard is coming back! My nail salon. My dry cleaner. My job. I'm a happy, happy girl! read more
