They charge whatever they want. A simple fill with mo repairs needed sometimes cost 35. Other times 45 and a few days ago 52. They don't have their services with prices listed anywhere so they take advantage of clients. Quality isn't even that good. Will never ho back. read more

I'm actually super bummed about this place. This is the most expensive nail salon in Marina. So with that being said, I'm expecting to have at least somewhat nice nails. I got a gel manicure and a gel pedicure. I was there for an insanely long time and after all was said and done, I ended up running straight to target to get a nail polish to cover up the lady's work. I'm one of those people that doesn't complain when something looks bad... which is totally my fault. But they looked horrible and I'll never go back there. I'm really not sure why people rave about this place. All of the other salons in Marina do a better job PLUS they are cheaper. So if you are like me and don't like to tell someone they are doing a bad job, just skip this place. 2 stars because the nail tech was very nice. read more

All manis and pedis I've gotten here have been really well done! You won't be disappointed going here!! The staff here definitely pampers you! read more

They do a great job. The last two times I went left me quite pleased with their work. I had gel pedicures both times. The shop is clean, well organized, and the staff are all very kind. It's nice to have them in our neighborhood. read more

Full Set Gel Acrylics I didn't know they work by appointments, I came as a walk-in & they were kind enough to stay late for me. Had the BEST full set I've ever had in my life. Cindy Lou did my nails & when I tell you she's good, she's AMAZING! She knows every color by memory & which to suggest if you let her know what your looking for. She applied this beautiful pinkish/whiteish/neutral/light baby pink on me & she created the color mixing multiple. Also had a pedicure w/ Hong & she color matched my toes perfectly! Very kind, talented, talkative ladies! Highly recommend read more

You call for a price and then when you go there they charge you more. And when I have been there before they charge a different price for the same exact service depending on who checks you out. It's a shame because the ladies are so nice there that I want to go back because of them. read more

I was coming here for about 3/4 months straight . And caught a fungus on my big left toe. Super freaking upset but i loved the tech i was seeing. I am unsure what or why people are still polishing peoples nails when in school they Clearly show what a fungus looks like, and still take them . Be careful . And if you do decide to still come here.. take your polish or something because my nails were fine before and now i really hate my feet .. read more

The service is 5 stars and the pricing is more like 2. For $66 I got the spa pedicure with regular polish and added glitter (+8) and I also got a regular manicure with french tip polish (+5). I don't live here, so I can't say how it compares to other salons in the area. I had Nancy and she was lovely - gave me suggestions and helpful critiques (thinner white polish for French tip looks best). However, she recommended glitter for my manicure and tried it on one nail and then failed to remove all the glitter. I've now got one sparkly nail... However, it's a few days out and my polish is still holding well. The cuticle work definitely could've been better and overall the attention to detail was a bit lacking. I've attached photos of my manicure for reference. read more

Polished usually does good work and has a nice vibe inside. This has been my go to nail place... until they raised their prices. My gel manicure and normal pedicure cost $91. A day after getting my nails done, they already started to chip.... Definitely would beware. read more

Amazing amazing service. We had a very negative experience with Top Nails (Salinas) yesterday and were hoping to turn things around here...they exceeded our expectations! My sister, niece & I enjoyed the pampering and chill atmosphere at Polished. The quality of their work is stellar. They even offered a cute mermaid chair for my niece. Will definitely be coming back here everytime we are in town. Thank you so much Jen, Kristie, Vanessa, and Sam!!!! read more

Expensive!!! Quality not bad but Expensive. This is the 3rd time I have gone here. First time was an emergency repair of a couple of nails and it was $15. Ok fine. Second time they took off my acrylics and got manicure with dip, $55 not thrilled but and fine. But today just manicure with dip, $45.00. What?!? Really?!? That is crazy. And if I'm going to be petty, the lady forgot to give the five minutes hand message. The part I was really looking forward to. Sorry you just hit my limit. Thanks but not worth it read more

I got my acrylic's removed, I called and made sure they would not rip them off and they assured me they soaked and drilled them off. They ended up ripping off half of my nails, which was very uncomfortable and damaging. They also said I had to get a manicure, which I was fine with, but I didn't really get one. She barely trimmed my cuticles, there was no massage, even though they said there would be on the phone, and my nails are very uneven and not shaped. They charged me, I said thank you as I was leaving and they didn't even look at me, they just continued their conversation. This was a horrible experience and so expensive for nothing. read more

I was very disappointed today because I asked for a natural looking fake nails not to long and not to short. I left the shop with fat, short and ugly nails. I am very disappointed because I paid 45$ for nothing. read more

Love going to Polished to get my nails done by Tina! I make an appointment with Tina every two weeks to get a gel mani pedi. She does an excellent job every time! I used to always find an issue with my nails and pick at them all the time but I never do when Tina does them. It takes some time to get them done as I only want Tina to do both my hands and toes but the salon usually has enough people to do both at the same time. The salon is very pretty and the staff are all very friendly. I've had my eyebrows done at Polished as well and they do a great job. read more

They were very accommodating, kind and my nails looked amazing! I would go back again if I were in the area and needed a manicure.

I enjoyed coming here in the past, I took a break from getting my nails done due to Covid. I tried again on Friday 6/16. Unfortunately the nail tech cut my cuticle so bad I was bleeding for 20mins and was in so much pain. She decided to solve the problem with nail glue, which caused a huge scab. I asked her not to paint the nail bc it hurt so bad and I didn't want to risk infection. The tips she painted by hand are uneven, mismatched and misshapen. Not to mention it's only been 2 days and my cuticles are already looking awful- meaning she did not do a great job. She then charged me full price. Extremely disappointed read more

I've been getting my nails done by Ivonne and I couldn't be happier! On a journey to natural, healthy nails, she's taken great care of me. Always takes her time, especially while putting on gel polish (I can't stand a rushed polish application!), leaving my nails looking smooth and beautiful! If you want a well done, professional gel manicure, go see her! Also, they have an huge selection of polishes! read more

Updated: still go to Polished for all my nail, feet, eye brows AND lashes! Shop is still in business (when they are allowed to reopen) and present for any service. Polite and helpful! Enjoy the lashes too! read more

Polished is my go to nail salon in the Monterey area! I have always had the best service here, and all the staff are so nice. They are also very accommodating and will always squeeze you in if possible. This last time I went, I knew I wanted Disney Halloween themed nails for my trip to Disneyland, but was unsure of what exactly I wanted. I showed Samantha a picture of a general idea of what I wanted, but told her she could do whatever she thought would look best. What she did turned out AMAZING! She took her time and I could not be happier with my nails! read more

This is a nice clean nail salon. I would recommend calling to make an appointment before walking in. If you are looking for dip, they have VERY limited color options. I asked if they had more & they said that they could do shellac on top of a nude dip if I didn't see a color I liked. The price was higher than expected. I would go back, but not rushing to go back. read more

I really enjoy this salon. The techs are very nice, and they are really good about staying on schedule for appointments. I've had a few gel manicures done here, I'm always happy with the results. Also, prices are reasonable. read more

First time here was a little bit of a miss. My acrylic set with gel turned out uneven and really thick, but nothing broke or chipped, and there was only minimal lifting, which could have been me because I fidget with my fingers a lot. But I came back two weeks later to give it one more shot, and Hailey did a fantastic job thinning my nails and getting it all evened out. Get comfortable and make sure to speak up if something isn't looking quite the way you wanted it to! read more

I have came to Polished a few times and those times were fine but my visit today had to be the most disappointing. I got a pedicure which was fine as always and asked specifically for a soak off for my acrylic nails (got done by someone else) short almond nails that I had for a couple of weeks and wanted them off. When coming in I had made it very clear only wanted a soak off not a manicure to follow. Because on the phone when booking my appointment she offered me a manicure and I had said no but just ended the conversation. I felt in person I could've better explained myself. Which I thought I clearly did when I came in and they asked what I was interested in. After soaking them off and cutting my nails, she asked for me to choose a color. In response I let her know I do not want color or any type of coat on my nails because I do not want a manicure. She left my nails untouched after that. When going to check out after my pedicure I was told my total was 100 dollars!! Completely in shock I asked how much a soak off was and she express her coworker did a soak off and manicure. I tried to explain I had no color on my nails and not even a full manicure. It also states on their menu "Soak off 15+" under the acrylic section. She was expressing to me they just don't do soak offs? So Im confused onto why that is on their menu. Super frustrating experience because I did enjoy going there but now this has shifted my mindset. I paid 45 dollars for a soak off read more

I love the work the girls do here. There's so many good technicians, I can't just name one. A majority of the girls used to work at Stone Creek nails in Monterey. Since I won't be in LA as often, this is my go to place. They also do matte :). Gel nails that are shaped well and last several weeks. read more

I've been back and forth about writing this since I left last Monday. First off, I was charged $63 for a FILL! I had one broken nail and one lifting. I was told nail repair was between $5-$7 and the fill was $38 (which is extremely pricey but I was desperate).... How it became $25 for 2 nails to be fixed is beyond me! I asked for an easy "design" if it can even be called that. There was only polish used. No actual glitter or anything. The acrylic was left extremely thick and uneven, polish was all over the sides of my fingers, the lines for the "design" were not straight, and 4 days later, I had a nail break and polish was already peeling off. I didn't have time to get it fixed or argue what I was charged as I had an uber waiting outside for me already. All I have to say is I've never been so disappointed in my entire life while getting my nails done. This place is extremely overpriced and the quality of work is not too great. Take your money elsewhere! read more

I went here a few times for pedicures but never got a manicure. I decided to do acrylics for awhile and got them done here. The girl did an amazing job that when I went to another shop for a fill the tech kept complimenting my set 'they did a great job' several times. Meanwhile she didn't do that great of a job so I returned to Polished and this time Cindy did my fill and set. Now everyone was complimenting my nails asking where I went. Cindy does such a great job my nails again look amazing & I won't be bouncing around to other shops now! read more

I don't know what has happened to this place, but it's gone downhill I have been a few times in the past and it was good , but expensive. My daughter and I went today and the place is a mess. It's dirty , falling apart and the service is horrible. They no longer have printed menus to select from. I was told to get up and read the wall menu as my feet were soaking. I opted for the medium level pedicure and it was terrible They kept trying to push a parabin wax. We declined the wax but were overcharged at checkout Anyway. They wanted to charge us $5 each for exfoliation ? It is listed in the description of the pedicure we had The techs can not communicate with the customers and charge what they want I guess? I am truly disappointed because it used to be a decent place. I hope to find a new option in the area because I won't go here again read more

Ok so I hardly ever write yelp reviews but my nails look SO CUTE! Kim is so lovely, I wanted something festive for Valentine's Day and I couldn't find the right colors to match the picture I brought in so I let Kim choose and she recreated it perfectly!! I was a little weary because I'm not one for super pinky tones but I wanted to try something new and I'm so glad I let her pick out my colors, all of them compliment each other so well, thanks again Kim read more

I had the worst experience here! I went to get my toes and nails done and the lady who did my toes started whining and complaining that she had to do my feet when she rolled up my pants. I forgot to shave and there was just a bit of stubble nothing crazy but the whole time she was complaining and being dramatic by putting distance between my feet and her. This put me in a very uncomfortable environment and almost on the verge of tears. Overall the nails came out normal but still never recommend! read more

Im so disappointed with my recent visit to this nail salon. Its dirty and cold. The women who work there are all so nice but my pedicurist barely massaged my feet and legs and barely worked on my calluses. I get a regular pedicure and it was 33$. I dont get gels So I expect a good massage. I wont go there again. Ive been going there for a while but no more. Clean up your salon. read more

Every time I'm in Monterey this is definitely where I come to get my gel manicures. The owner is so friendly and has no problem helping out if you're having trouble picking a color or trying to replicate some nail inspo you've seen on Instagram or anywhere else. It's a little pricey but you absolutely get what you pay for so I don't mind splurging every once in a while. My nails always last 2+weeks so I think it's worth it! Here is the ombré gel manicure I got today! I 10/10 stars recommend! read more
