    pretty nail design despite my qualms

    I was taken care of relatively quickly even though I was a walk-in ; despite there only being two people working when I came in, I only had to wait about 5 minutes before someone got started with me. I showed the nail tech what I wanted and he started right away -- however, they don't soak your nails, cut off the dead skin and cuticles, lotion massage -- none of that. They didn't have builder gel, so I went with Gel X - even their shortest tip was still pretty long. I had to ask for it to be filed down a couple times. Not to mention, the glue under the nail was super thick. I asked for it to be cut down and filed three times before I left and it's still a huge chunk of glue under my nails, especially my thumb. Not sure if that's par for the course with Gel X, but it's not comfortable. The actual design came out beautiful, and for that they get the stars they did. However; $105 for this feels like a gut-punch. It wasn't even a full manicure in regard to aforementioned lack of cuticle care, lotion, skin cutting, etc. I'll only come here again if I have no other option.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Requested manicure and pedicure. The young male tech was welcoming and friendly however his skill lacked terribly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My nails were filed and cuticles trimmed and polish applied --$25 service no hand massage or lotion applied even to the cuticles. The water wasn't even warm he hand me soak them in and then as soon as I dipped one hand hand he took it out-- it didn't even allow for time for my cuticles to begin to soften. He had to repaint nails as they would not cure even after half hour then even 5 hours later the nails would not cure see video. My pedicure also lacked full callus treatment and the back and outsides of my heels were left untreated. My toes were trimmed unevenly which I didn't see until I left. Lastly, this place was so filthy-- disgustingly so. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was not for lack of staffing either when I left 4 people were sitting around on their phones doing nothing just waiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Counters and tools covered in dust and grime. It did not look like the counters had been cleaned in weeks at least. Additionally the chairs are very ragged and the quality of their massage' very poor. I really hoped for a better experience here, I cannot say I'll be back or that I would recommend but these are the opportunities they could improve.

    Was extremely disappointed with the service I received at this nail salon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My mom, sister, and I were so excited for a girls' day and had made this appointment after being referred by a friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We left feeling like we had wasted money for a service we could've done at home. Firstly, my mom is a hardworking nurse who never spoils herself. We were so excited for a girls' day to finally get to do it. She had asked for a pedicure and requested the extra package with the callus removal. Her nail tech took a sponge and rubbed both her feet within 1 minute and started applying her nail polish almost immediately. She left the salon with her feet barely touched. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For my manicure, I had grown out my nails after stress biting them for years, and was so excited to have them done for the first time in a year.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I sat down for a regular manicure, there was a young male nail tech who filed my nails without any symmetry between both hands. He then went on to apply the nail polish immediately, without doing any further cuticle prep. Because I don't get my nails done regularly, I didn't realize he was supposed to do more for prep until I left and already paid. He finished my nails within 15 minutes, and I left with cuticles that looked the exact same as when I had walked in. In total, the 3 of us spent $175 for nails that chipped within hours. This photo is from my nails on the same night of the manicure. Incredibly disappointed. In summary: overpriced + poor service. Will not be returning to this nail salon again.

    Needed somewhere asap. it was nice inside. overprice and not too happy with the results

    I would like to start by saying, I don't think I've gotten my nails done since 2017 - so this is not a regular event for me! I live in the Lake Nona area and haven't been to a nail salon since moving out here, so I wasn't sure where to go. A friend of mine posted a picture on her story and tagged Polished Nail Bar so I figured that's as good a recommendation as any! I checked out Yelp first (obvi) and read a ton of mixed reviews, then checked their Instagram. I felt comfortable enough to go ahead and book with a girl by the name of Chloe, after seeing her work and many mentions of her on here! I saw there was a menu shared on here so I called to book one of the options listed, which was acrylic / full set. The woman on the phone told me they do NOT do acrylic, they do dipping powder. No problem - but big FYI, this menu has to be outdated for sure. I booked with Chloe in advance for Sunday at 3:30. I arrived for my appointment - first impressions, super cute! I love the chandelier and the cute quotes - one of my favorites by Coco Chanel hanging loud and proud on the left and Hello Gorgeous on the right. You wash your hands and sit down for your appointment and tell them what you want. I looked everywhere ; I probably looked stupid like I was about to break my neck looking all over the walls for said menu here. It does not exist!!‍ I asked about it - they just started listing prices, but I quite literally never physically saw a menu anywhere, at all. Not even anywhere near anyone else coming in. I thought that was kind of odd!! I just asked a lot of questions. I ended up bringing in a picture of nail inspo I wanted to replicate - Chloe was SO HELPFUL AND SO PATIENT!! And honest!! I picked something that in hindsight would've been way off initially, and she told me right away that does not match the picture that's a little too bright.. and gave suggestions which was so helpful. She's so sweet and she did really good work - with super attention to detail! I got dipping powder, some on my real nails, some with added tips because I didn't want anything crazy for length - and I got 5 colors. Just dipping powder on your natural nails is $40. Adding tips / extensions is an additional $5. I used 5 colors, so that was an additional $5, making the total for my nails $50. That's what I expected so I was happy with it ! I feel like these days, that's just about what it's going to run you minimum, if you're getting what you want. A huge thank you to Chloe for the time and effort, patience and care you had with me because I had a vision and you made it a reality! I will be returning!

    Everything was great until I realized my nails extensions were going up, I told her and at first she told me it was because of the shape of my nails. Told her no because I get my nails with gel X every month and it never happened. She agreed to redo 2 nails after I told her I had the issue with 4 nails that she has done. I will never come back, I leave across the street and I am so disappointed. I do not recommend.

    Awesome. I'm so hard on my nails - even w gel or dip- so I've been on the hunt for the best pedicure and most relaxing experience. They're only taking reservations so it's less crowded. I had the pedicure area to myself but consistently about 6 people in the manicure area. The color selection is great but even better... it's organized! Makes finding you go-to color so much easier than just being all stashed on a spinner. The massage chairs are insanely high tech. I'm in love. I just wish places here in Orlando did loyalty punch cards to entice people to become regular customers.

    Why file the nails after they've been polished and designed is unknown to me? I went very early, since most reviews said that they were typically very busy. I was seated immediately for a basic pedicure. The technician worked at a consistent pace. Upon finishing, I had to check my toe because she missed a few times with the drill and it was hurting. I asked for square shaped toes and got sideway crookedness instead. She also applied this lotion on my legs that upon drying made my skin appear dry with scratch marks. She did try to wipe it off upon recognition, but with a dry towel which didn't help the situation. The fill-in was mediocre, and I feel like there was alot of unnecessary filing which led to 50 million hang nails. I wanted a French tip, which had to be redone due to inexperienced or lack of practice with the style. The tips are not completely white and have dark spots and random debris and dust specks in them. Then came the excessive filing after the nails had been polished with the clear coat cured. I went to wash my hands and had to pick away all the polish that had been file off which led to hang nail galore. The technician tried to fix it but it was beyond repair and it was time to go. Would I go back? Most likely not. I appreciate the effort though, and it was kind of cheap. $115 for a Basic Pedicure, Fill-In, Gel Polish and 1 Nail Tip.

    I love love love this salon! Everyone here is super talented and friendly! You can bring a picture of anything you want done and they will make it happen! Tried celebrating g on them with other salons but none can compare! My favorite artist are Eva and Krystal. They always get me. Even though I have move across town, I will come back here just to receive the great customer service and quality of work. I recommend making an appointment because they are always busy.

    Very nice place. Everything is clean and there is a ton of polishes to choose from including powder from OPI and SNS and some others. Kay has done my nails twice now and she's very gentle and does a great job. It's far from my house but worth the drive every 3 weeks. It's a bit pricier than the place I had been going to and they charge to shape the nail even though it's just a slightly pointed which is a little ridiculous but the outcome is good so I don't mind. Looking forward to my next

    Bare nails but as you can still, there's still product. Looks horrible.
    Karina C.

    I got in 40 minutes before they closed for a removal, no immediate greeting except blank stares. I got a hello from one person after staring back at them, the vibe was so OFF. Finally I sit down for my removal...25 minutes pass and I'm walking out with product still on my fingernails. When you remove acrylic, shouldn't you be walking out with BARE nails? I didn't say anything because they were already leaving and sweeping and getting ready to go. She asked if I wanted clear polish over top, i said sure because maybe it would help. Nope. My nails pre-removal were so much better than this. I'm so mad. I don't have time to go to another spot, now I'm just going to go home and remove the rest myself.

    Melyssa F.

    If I could give them more then 5 stars I would. I didn't leave happy the first time and dm them on IG the person who responded was so nice and gave me options. Never made me feel like it was my fault and well let's just say I no longer have to drive 30 minutes away from my home to get my nails done! Everyone here is super nice and I am so excited to try some new things with some of the nail techs that specialize in nail design. Julie did an amazing job with the shape and painting!

    Amy did amazing!

There are some wax specialists and some waxes that are better than others , but for the most part, the quality of care I receive is great! The last time I was in I believe I had a specialist named Donatella. I told her that I do get a little jumpy with waxes and that it has been a while so I know it would be pretty painful. But like a pro, she was able to start conversations with me to get my mind off the wax and we talked about all kinds of topics and before I knew it, we were done! That's a truly great specialist right there who knows how to care for their patients that are a little bit more sensitive to the service. She also didn't try to push any products on me which I loved. The vibe of this location is friendly and clean. There is only ever one other person in the waiting room so I feel that there are plenty of specialists for the appointments and you never wait long. I've come early several times and was able to get my wax early so they are truly flexible. I really appreciate the service here!

During my first visit, I paid approximately $60, including tip, for a gel refill. Within only two days, several nails had chipped and the polish began peeling. When I returned to have them corrected, the response was dismissive, and I was told that the color was simply "supposed to do that." I did not feel that the quality of the service matched the price, nor was the issue handled professionally. Despite that experience, I later decided to give the salon another chance. Unfortunately, the customer service was still an issue. After the salon provided me with the wrong total--and after my friend and I had already been overcharged--the owner followed me outside to my car, knocked on my window, and demanded an additional $5. The situation could have been resolved calmly inside the salon, but the way it was handled felt unnecessarily confrontational and uncomfortable. No apology was offered for the billing confusion or the interaction afterward. I understand that mistakes happen, but how a business responds to those mistakes matters. Between the premature chipping, inconsistent billing, and poor handling of my concerns, I ultimately chose to take my business elsewhere.
