I've never gotten hangnails after a manicure but here we are... they hurt pretty bad. I've gotten acrylics here a few times: 1) my nail beds were sore for days because they were so rough while prepping, 2) the nail polish was never carefully applied, so it always looked messy and blotchy. I've wanted to like this salon so much since it's close to where I live. I've never had a great experience here so I will be searching for manicures elsewhere. read more

I recently moved from LA and have been having a hard time finding a good location that does dip and am so glad I came here. I highly recommend, Steven did an incredible job with my nails and even added extension tips to add length. All I had to do was show him a pic of what I wanted and I actually think my nails came out better than the pic. I will def come back. read more

I've been going here religiously to Linda for months and love it! The staff are friendly and there are lots of colors to choose from. I am super particular about the thickness of my nails (thick acrylics are a no no), and Linda always does such a good job making them thin and natural looking. She also does cute art too and helps me choose colors when I'm indecisive read more

Amazing experience! Anna was my nail tech and she was so sweet and did an absolutely incredible job. She recommended the dip powder instead of acrylic, and it turned out great! Will definitely be returning, and highly recommend to anyone looking for a seattle area nail salon. The price was very reasonable for the high quality work (so be sure to tip your nail artist!) Thank you, Anna! read more

A bit inconsistent, but very convenient location wise and well-kept. Great at accomodating walk-ins.

On a recently trip to Seattle I was in rushed and didn't get my nails done before that. I was in the area and decided to drop by to get my nails done. I'm glad I did. Customer service was great, i was greeted when I walked in, I didn't feel rushed at all, and they have great color selections. I was happy with my nails. read more

I wish I looked at the bad reviews before I went, and I should have NOT trusted the four star rating on yelp! I called to make an appointment on the same day for both manicure and pedicure. When I arrived, a lady I believed to be the owner told me to pick a color, while I was picking, she told me, "he will do you nails when you're ready." As I looked around, a younger guy was sitting on a chair with his phone, no greeting or what so ever, and yes, he will be doing my nails :) After I sat down, without saying a word, he started filling my nails with this machine. I told him to go lighter because my nails are quite thin, but he kept going with a rushing and almost aggressive manner which left my skin and nails feeling uncomfortable in the end. What did I got? Acrylic nail extension plus regular nail color on top. He did a terrible job, unfinished acrylic under the nails, and my thumb got chipped only an hour after the session. Uneven coating, and obvious bubbles on several fingers. Now I'm just wondering if he's been professionally trained for this! I couldn't wait to leave, so I ended up only doing a manicure :) currently at another salon for my pedicure and to recolor all of my 10 fingers! read more

Staff was nice but the seemed in a rush. Didn't give even a little foot massage just put on lotion. Sterilization bags for tools are just for show, I work in the medical field and know what to look for and the packing didn't show indication required. On top of that my simple neon green nail polish completely peeled off in 2 day. read more

Edit: polished has gone far downhill since I used to come here. They remodeled and appear to have electrical issues, their tech was rough with my hands and hurt my nails a bunch of times, and when I had one nail break two days after I had them done they told me I would have to wait for three people to have pedicures before I could have it fixed. I'm so disappointed and will be finding a new salon after this. Polished is by far the best place I've ever had my nails done at. All the ladies are kind and take their time, plus they make sure you really love the way your nails look before you leave. I've had a full acrylic set from them for about 3 months (with fills and a refresher set in between of course) and never once has any of my nails broken, cracked, or chipped. Kim, the owner, is super fun and kind, and always remembers me. I've had nothing but great experiences with Polished. Once, I wasn't very clear about what I wanted and my nails turned out a little wonky, which I only realized after I left, so Kim let me come back to have them repolished and didn't charge me any extra. It's worth the walk up pine st to have your nails done here!! read more

This place was ok. Super friendly girl in charge, I saw her interact with a lot of customers and she was great with everyone. A different lady was my nail tech and did both my gel manicure and regular pedicure. She RUSHED through both. Both kinda look like I could have done them myself, so paying $65+ tip was a LOT when I needed to go home and clean the polish off my cuticles and surrounding skin. Also, not a big deal, but I grew my nails out so that they would be slightly longer, and asked her not to cut them but just shape, and she ended up disagreeing with me and cutting them- but not all of them? So it's pretty uneven. I left feeling like my nails would end up looking fine, but disappointed that I spent any money on it. read more

I visited Polished for the first time recently and, shockingly, I developed a fungal foot infection in less than 24 hours of having a pedicure there. Mid-service, I did notice that there was a a fair amount of dust (and probably nail residues) on the technician's chairs and around the salon. They really need to clean this place and ensure their instruments and foot baths are fully disinfected. It's a shame because the staff was nice and it's a good location, but I can't offer anything more than 1 star after leaving with an infection. read more

I got the best acrylics I've ever had from here! They took so much care with making every nail exactly the same length, shape, and thickness. The prices are also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend! read more

After a one off visit because I needed an *emergency* pedicure, I quickly became a regular at Polished! Ana is my absolute favorite - she's so warm and quite funny. Plus, she always takes her time and makes sure my set is just right. I'm on texting basis with the owner, Kim, who is such a hard worker and so accommodating! The fact that I can text her for an appointment is amazing. I'm here every two weeks on the dot for my dip fill, and I'm always so pleased. Also, did I mention these are my natural nails?! No tips! Ana always makes sure to take care of my natural nail and is helping me to train them to be healthy and strong. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

Wouldn't recommend this place. I came here because I wanted to have a relaxing time but I had the opposite experience. 1) They were all yelling at each other the entire time so I couldn't even talk to my friends who were sitting next to me. 2) While getting a pedicure, they tried to give me a manicure at the same time. They don't have a setup conducive to doing both at the same time, so they basically had me holding up the LED lamp with my legs for my hands. When they realized that wasn't working, they put the lamp to the right of me on the bench I was sitting on. This meant whenever I had to put my left hand in the lamp, I had to twist my entire body to the right in order to reach it. 3) At one point the manicurist got a phone call and decided to sit on the bench between me and my friend in the middle of our conversation to take her call. 4) See pic for the job they did. They cut my nails painfully short and it doesn't look good. 5) Manicurist kept leaving to go talk to her friends or eat food, so I had to keep switching on the light myself or switching which hand to put into the LED lamp because she was MIA. 6) They were rushing us and made my friend pay for the second friend who was still getting her nails done. Made her sign the receipt for the second friend (is this even legal?) Don't like to feel rushed especially when it's not even close to the closing time Don't really recommend and I did not have a relaxing or peaceful experience. And paid $70 for this. There are other places to go so don't come here. read more

I had a great experience here, kind of a hole in the wall, super low key, in an out for a quick manicure on lunch break type of place! Anna did my nails, who was amazing..I'm incredibly particular about my nails because who isn't. I got a dip manicure for fall and I LOVE them. I let Anna pick the color after describing what I wanted and she hit the nail right on the head! This is going to be my new go to spot for mani/pedis! read more

Cannot recommend this nail salon enough. Have lived on the hill for years and tried many salons but this is the most consistent and accommodating. I always go to Linda because she is the dipped QUEEN but I've had my nails done by almost everyone and they all do great work. Kim is always so great with customers and happy to make any wrongs right. I tell everyone to come here... they're the best! read more

I got my nails done at Polished for my birthday. I typically have a good experience here but this time it was weird. The nail polish wasn't showing up quite as I had hoped so the stylist kept suggesting new colors. She pulled out this color from behind the counter and I agreed. Overall the nails at the time looked fine, not amazing. I tipped and the experience was weird because she insisted on seeing my phone because she didn't believe me when I said I Venmoed X amount for the tip. She grabbed my phone from me and made sure I tipped what I said. I left feeling a little uncomfortable with the tipping experience (not necessarily the mail experience). Fast forward to a week later, my gel is already peeling off my finger. I'm pretty used to gel staying on for 3-4 weeks but this only stayed on for about a week. It's starting to peel up from the top because it wasn't bounded correctly. Pretty upset that I only had my nails looking nice for a week considering I paid $40. read more

Didn't have an appointment but went in for a couple pedicures and they had us seated right away! The extra pedicure seats didn't have the back massager but we didn't mind since it was a walk-in anyway. The pedicure itself was very relaxing and my feet felt great afterwards! The ladies there were very sweet and made sure I had stayed long enough for my nail polish to dry, since I was wearing running shoes and socks. read more

I decided to go here for a Brazilian because another review said this place was "trans friendly". I go in, get taken to the back, and laydown naked as one does when getting a brazilian and she comes back and says "Oh we dont wax men here." Transgirls beware. Much like 99% of other waxing places around here if your pre-op / non-op then they will tell you to go home. I understand if someone isn't trained in doing brazilians on people with penis. But this is Capitol Hill and it's 2020. Girls have dicks. It's high time places start listing their services for vagina or penis! I am not a man and will never request a "male" service. read more

I've been going to Polished for years now and this review is long over due! The folks in here are truly some of the best in Seattle. They care about what service(s) you want to do and show such attention to detail. The photos I've posted here is a Dip Powder fill with Ana - easily the best set I've ever gotten in my entire life. I came in with a vision of what I wanted and Ana brought it to life! Fully obsessed with them and so grateful for the time she took to make them perfect. If you're looking for a new nail place on the hill, you've just found it! read more
