I went for a pedicure with a few friends, we did make a reservation, and they were ready for our group of four. The half basement space is open and light. The staff is professional and friendly, and we were all very happy with our nails. read more

Great place! So happy the first two places I tried couldn't squeeze me in, because this place made the effort! Very friendly staff, chill vibe, very clean and not too noisy! I think this will be my regular place now. Perfect pedicure, thank you! read more

Polished Lounge - View from pedicure station - Nail Salons Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Polished Nails is my run to spot for a quick manicure. I normally see Vicky if she's booked ( she's good so it happens. Then Mor is also Excellent. There's pleasant conversation. Here's what I appreciate Liners for pedicures ( some High End salons don't Use) Nail drying stations... lately I am doing my natural nails. This allows my nails to be truly dry before I leave Everything is touch less (even flushing the toliet) I don't always get offered a refreshment. Not sure why no biggie just Vicky selects my colors based on what I tell her the type of scheduled colors I will be wearing. I appreciate that also If there's a challenge booking online or if I am in a hurry tge receptionist that answers will quickly help book me read more

Book now! Since moving back to Detroit this has been my go to nail salon! BOOKING Online booking allows you to see exactly what's available for your tech of choice. Their hours always make it easy to find something that works. THEY START APPT ON TIME. This is huge for me having had issues with other nail salons. SERVICE They always offer you a bevvy - seltzers, water, etc. Techs are all very friendly and knowledgeable (colors, product/service recs). I have dip done and it lasts 3-4 weeks. I typically see Kia or MaiMai - both are excellent and go above and beyond to make sure I'm happy with my service. LOCATION Centrally located in Midtown near some good shopping options. The salon is located in the lower level and requires stairs to access. Street parking is fairly easy to find within a block from salon. read more

Fabulous care and service from the lovely ladies here today. Sam did an excellent job on my pedicure, and my friends and I all felt very relaxed and not rushed at all. We will be back soon! read more

I am a regular at Polished Lounge and I LOVE IT. I got my nails done here for my wedding, bachelorette and numerous vacations. Like any salon, your results may depend on the tech's expertise and what you request. Polished has a lot of techs with years of experience and varying areas of expertise. I tried out a few different nail techs there before honing in on 1 that is my go-to and 2 who I can count on if my go-to is out. The location is perfectly situated in Midtown. I would NOT try to walk in here...definitely book online in advance as they're very popular. Service is always attentive and they offer a range of mimosas and non-alcoholic beverages. read more

One of the best pedicures I've ever had! I was in town for the weekend and found them through Yelp. I was able to book an appointment easily online and get seated early. Mary was absolutely fantastic and took such time and care with each step, more than I've had in the past. The place itself is cute and comfortable, the music is great, and the mimosas are an excellent extra touch. Would absolutely come back the next time I'm in town! read more

I love this place! Super friendly staff and I've gotten my nails done by so many of the girls and they all do a wonderful job! They also always greet you with drink options and provide a relaxing experience! read more

I've never been a fan of wasting money. With that said, make POSITIVELY SURE you can make your appointment at Polished. I heard nothing but good reviews about their services. Although, they have a deposit policy (20%) down of whatever services you're getting, (at the time your appointment is made) with ABSOLUTELY NO REFUND, NOT even if you sick with food poisoning...like I was. NO MOVING YOUR APPOINTMENT to a different date. It's considered a CANCELLATION, and the 20% must be paid again. With no room for consideration if you are sick, this salon is a no for me. My opinion. But it maybe a yes for you. Poor customer service. No regard for me being sick. The manager apologized and said that is their policy. Like I said, it has good reviews but this policy is just not for me and it may be not for others. read more

If you want the best service & best nails, Vicky at Polished is your girl. She is the absolute best. I've consistently seen her for almost two years, moved out of state, and still make time to see her when I'm back in Michigan. The vibe is on point, and your nails will be too when you leave. read more

I can't recommend this place enough. I was referred by a friend when I was looking for a new salon near work and it has become my favorite salon in metro detroit. Everyone is awesome, but Ia is my go-to. She's so personable and a perfectionist! If you're looking for a great local nail salon - this is it! read more

Do not go here. I went here for a shellac manicure with cat eye polish. All of my nails were my natural long nails I had grown out for a month or so prior to getting done. Not only did my nails consistently all break within a week, they also had filed down my nails way too much. I finally was able to get my nails fixed today and the tech drills off the shellac I had on, and it would not come off. My nails looked disgusting I had gotten brown polish at Polished Lounge and my natural looks looked like they had brown fungus. I have never had fungus in my nails before. Not only did all my nails break and are now short, it was $55 for a shellac mani. Most places are only $45. Save yourself the time and DO NOT GO HERE. read more

They have one girl that does designs. She good , but the products or application is horrible. I have naturally strong nails and I get S&S (dip powder) to maintain the length. After the first visit my nails started breaking after one week which NEVER happens. I went back hoping they would fix it or do better... I now have 6 broken nails and three cracking. It's been three days. I do not recommend at all . Breaking a nail physically and emotionally hurst. It hits different when you put time , energy , and money into them just for one salon to ruin it all. She also said they didn't "have time"for the design I wanted. At 1 pm on a Thursday. So I only asked for clear read more

Polished is a hidden gem in midtown, and by hidden I just mean you need to walk down from the sidewalk into the best nail salon in Detroit! The owner, Ia, is the kindest soul and makes your experience amazing, as you are offered something to drink and a variety of pallets to choose your color from! And if you are looking for another color, just ask because they might have some in the back and really try their best to color match to what you want. But everyone at Polished is super kind and extremely talented. They take great care of my cuticles and if I ever want a design they easily get it done. Walk-in's are welcome, but if you want to guarantee book an appointment online. You will have to make a deposit but that money is deducted from your final cost. If you're looking for your new favorite nail salon, Polished is the place for you! read more

Best place in town for kicking back and getting a pedi! PJ killed it, zero complaints, 12/10. Book your appointment!

I've been coming here regularly and was always treated well -- until recently. My last visit was unprofessional and embarrassing. I was spoken to rudely in front of others for taking a drink that was always offered in the past. Maimai took the drink off the table that she usually offers to open for me and put it back in the fridge. Shouting are those yours you only take one next time. I left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. I won't be returning. There will be no next time. You lost a loyal customer over a can of LaCroix and your hostile rudeness and giving me a color I did not choose for the second time and I was polite and just went with it to be considerate of your time. However you are not considerate or respectful of my time or business. I hope a can of LaCroix was worth losing business and all the referrals I've given this business. I will be filing a complaint with LARA. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

I just love this place! So happy I have a great nail place within walking distance. I usually select random nail techs and leave happy. Keep on keeping on! read more

This place is fine. And if you adjust your expectations to it being fine. Not amazing, not great, but just fine, you'll walk out pleased. The deluxe pedicure I got was super mid. Didn't use cuticle softener at all. Didn't buff my nails. Didn't clean under nails. Didn't really get the callouses off, skipped scrubbing whole sections of my foot. Barely cut, barely shaped. Just enough that I wouldn't complain because it was a $45 pedicure and not a $70 pedicure- which btw I have had and would happily pay for to make sure I get the service I want. Staff are nice but the quality of the techs are inconsistent. I'll be back at some point because this place is generally easy to book and the options in Detroit are super limited, but I will continue to look for a new nail salon. read more

I went here for the first time a few weeks ago and i had such a great experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I booked an appointment online through their website. They do accept walk-ins but I was make an appointment just in case. You can typically find an appointment same-day. They have a bunch of colors to choose from and the service is typically pretty fast. There is also plenty of street parking available in front of their building and across the street. read more

So my niece and I decided to make a day in Detroit. First we went to see Beyond Van Gogh exhibit and then to cannoli Detroit before getting out nails done.

Decided today I will not be back. While I love my specific nail tech, the management has no concept of customer service. After two days, my gel was chipped and discolored. I called right when they opened to see if someone could correct the polish job and was told their was nothing they could do. Really? The young lady said the manager would be in touch later in the week. I explained I was going on vacation the next day and really wanted my nails fixed before my vacation. The manager called back at closing to tell me again they were sorry, but they wouldn't be able to see me until later in the week. You couldn't fit in a polish job within 6 hours????? Especially after I've waiting 20+ min after having an appointment. The just lost a repeat customer and unfortunately this isn't the first issue I have with their customer service. It's a convenient location, but not worth the poor treatment. read more

My new go-to! I like the atmosphere and my service was fantastic. Thank you for my gel mani-pedi.

Amazing staff and quality work every single time! I would not trust anyone else with my nails.

I normally enjoy the services here but the last time I went, the owner was in such a hurry to be done with me and sounded irritated that I got the services mixed up . They also dropped everything they were doing to rush to a white woman's aid because she wasn't happy with her nails that she CHOSE to get. I arrived before her btw. I was left just sitting there. If you're Black, just go to a Black owned business instead. You can tell who they're catering to. read more

I came here to get my nails done & I was so impressed! The girls went above & beyond to fit me in and my nails look great! The salon itself is decorated so nice & was very clean. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Wanted to return to Polished Lounge while in Detroit for work after my first experience last April. This time decided to book online. After several failed attempts, was able to book for September 3rd. When work schedule changed decided to call to see if possible to make an earlier appointment. Person who answered phone was rude, saying I made my appointment wrong and that the way I'd booked it would take too much time (2 hours). Afterwards I explained I needed to book earlier, for the next day (9/1). I was given a new appointment time and was looking forward to returning. An hour later while looking through emails I found a confirmation for the appointment but for 9/4. I couldn't keep that appointment as I am working that day, so called to say there must have been a misunderstanding, that I'd asked for an earlier appointment on 9/1. The woman told me I'd asked for 9/4, and when I said that wasn't possible because I'm working that day she insisted that this was the day I asked for. I finally asked point blank if they had an appointment available for 9/1 AGAIN and she told me no, and that she'd given my original appointment away. She then hung up on me. She was most rude, and lost what could have been a returning customer. So disappointed and so unnecessary. Terrible customer service!! I won't return. read more

How did I not know about this place??! Fantastic nail salon for anyone in or near downtown Detroit! I went in expecting to be "nail shamed" for the terrible condition my nails were in, but they could not have been nicer! Laura was lovely, not too chatty and extremely professional. She did such a terrific job on my nails. Loved everything about the experience. Have finally found my new "go to" place in downtown for nails! read more

Woke up yesterday feeling like I needed an indulgent pedicure and I was so excited to see this place when I searched for a nail place nearby. I got a deluxe pedicure and it was so relaxing and I'm PSYCHED to have this place in the neighborhood!! I was able to make an appointment for that same day which I love, even though it was pretty full and busy. My appointment was at 12:30pm and they called me to let me know they were running behind and asked me to come in at 12:45pm instead, and I appreciated that so much because most businesses just have you come in on time and wait! read more

What a great addition to Midtown. I came in for the first time today for a spa pedicure. Located in the lower level of one of the older apartment buildings on 2nd Avenue, decor is a little urban/industrial. They offer a variety of services for men and women. Very clean and organized, all staff members wearing masks (correctly), and were friendly and welcoming. Already booked my next appointment! read more

Jo is amazing! booking online is fast easy and convenient. always greeted with a smile and the salon is always clean! love this place

Came here with a group for a bachelorette party and it was great! Good vibes all around and our pedicures looked amazing!

prices have gone up quite a bit which now makes it average. the work isn't consistent enough for the prices and they were already on the higher end of salons. better than average set up and ambiance street parking sometimes hard to find and metered. read more

I wanted to love this place SO bad but unfortunately a series of less than stellar experiences led me to a 3 star review. The pros of this spot are it's convenience, cleanliness, and decor. However, the services are just "mediocre" and extremely dependent on the tech. I received gel here twice and dip once. The gel/shellac was sub par the first time and AMAZING the second. However, the dip completely came off my nails and caused a series of events I will not disclose. Additionally, I went in on two other occasions for pedicures and out of the 6 times My appointment time was pushed back for 10 + minutes at least three times ... unfortunately, I'm actually writing this from my car as I was told I had a 12:30 appointment but had waited over 25 minutes without being seen! Totally understand we are in tough times and labor shortages but the lack of communication and transparency on wait time was super discouraging. Disappointed I can not recommend any longer - especially as a Detroit resident and worker! read more
