    Nails
    Alex T.

    I called ahead to ask how much a gel acrylic fill would cost and was quoted $60. When I checked out, I was told my total was $80.I was then informed there was an additional charge because my nails were 'long' and another fee for cuticle work. None of these extra charges were mentioned when I called beforehand. What was frustrating is that my nails are only long because they had grown out from my previous set, so i wasn't expecting an additional length fee. I also had my cuticle nicked during the service, which was uncomfortable and is still sore. The staff eventually reduced the total to $75 after I explained that I came in expecting to pay the price I was quoted, but the lack of pricing transparency was disappointing. I believe customers should be informed of all additional charges before the service begins. The nails look okay overall, but some of the shapes and lengths appear uneven. My main concern is the unexpected pricing and poor communication regarding the extra fees. (P.s john is the one who did my nails)

    I came in to Polished Nail Bar and was seen by Sky and she did a phenomenal job. She paid attention to details. I got exactly what I wanted for my nails. She was taking payments, helping scheduling, & did an exceptional job. First time me doing French tips as well and she got me in love When you come here make sure to ask for Sky!!!!!!!!

    Great service wasn't happy paying 80 dollars for a regular pedicure and a gel manicure I think it's overpriced ..

    LOVE THIS PLACE! So quick, amazing service, and always such a good experience. Parking is a maze lol, but so worth it for the experience. Pay in cash -- it's easier!

    I was in the area and needed a quick mani/pedi. Found this place on yelp. Pros: 1. Takes walk-ins 2. Prices are reasonable for basic mani ($20) and pedi ($35) 3. No hard upsells 4. Nail techs are friendly Cons: 1. The place can use a revamp. The template/folder for nail colors was quite dirty and falling apart. (See photo). The spa chair was stained and dirty. 2. There were some issues with the accuracy of the colors on the palette vs. actual colors. I had to pick different colors a few times, either because the nail colors didn't match what was in the bottle or it was not available. 3. I got my nails done on Monday, and my mani was already chipped on Wednesday. 4. After they painted my nails, I was left alone by myself. No one came back to check on my nails and whether I was ready to go. No disposable flip flops provided, and no one helped with my sandals either. So after about 15 minutes, I just got up to pay and left. 5. Additional charge when paying with a card

    I had a nail appointment with Vivian for Gel X and she did a great job! She soaked them off and applied a fresh set within 1 hour. The price is comparable to other salons in the area. The cons are the location is sketchy so I will only go during the day, parking is crazy which is expected in DTLA and I don't remember if the tools were sterilized or if she uses the same tools on all of her customers without cleaning them. One last thing the salon wasn't the cleanest, like the floors needed to be swept, and she didn't use a clean towel, which had debris on it, after drilling and removing the set of nails that I came in with, which is not what I'm used to... Overall the customer service was great!! Vivian listened to what I wanted and I'm very happy with my nails.

    This nail SHOP (I won't even bother calling it a nail SALON because the professionalism is long gone) treats LOYAL customers -who have been with them for YEARS- like they are just another dollar in their pocket. -They are obviously charging high dollar prices while using the cheapest of products because your nails will not last for more than a week. -Also, they are unsanitary (but have the audacity to ask you to wash your hands while they don't even wash theirs) and the girl at the front desk is so desperate to have you add-on services so that even when they mess up your nails and have you to come back in to have them fixed, they STILL find a way to charge you. -September of last year, I tried getting in with the person that I normally go to (Tracy) bus since she was not there, they put me with a newer nail tech. I asked for a gel overlay on my real nails. The nail job was so bad that by the next day, my nails were so completely ugly, oddly shaped and peeling that I sent photos (see gold nails below) I didn't wanna where they had no choice but to tell me to come back in. They claimed that the gel overlay that I received was the wrong kind of gel and that I would have to pay $15 extra to have them fixed. So let me get this straight: YOUR NAIL TECH applied "the wrong" gel but I am responsible for paying for getting the "right" one AFTER spending additional money for the inconvenience of traveling back to have it fixed?? (MIND YOU, I travel by Uber/Lyft). December of last year, I had my nails done right before flying back home to Texas. The day that I had them done, they were rushing getting ready to close early for their Christmas party. So I had to correct Tracy several times for rushing, filing my nails down too short and changing the shape from what I normally get. I get that they had a Christmas party but that should not impact the quality of my nail service. My nails literally began to break the next day. Everyday they either peeled or continued to break so I messaged them and once again, they asked me to come back in. The problem is that I was out of town for two weeks and when I returned, they could not see me. I am a hairstylist and work in tv and film so I do not have the leisure to just pop back in to have mistakes that could have been prevented in the first place if they would just bother to CARE. -Needless to say, a couple of more weeks went by and I finally just asked to come back in to have them removed. Greedy ass at the front desk told me that there would be a charge to remove the shabby job that THEY did. No accountability. No integrity. JUST GREED. I will tell the world to steer clear of this place. I cannot wait until they get shut down...because mark my word: THEY WILL. YELP removed my original review claiming that I provided "promotional content", even after I updated the review to ensure that this was not the case. Deete it again and I will be posting again. They will NOT continue to get away with this. Also, be sure to read the rest of the reviews on here. I am NOT the only one. And to the POLISHED STAFF/MANAGEMENT: DO NOT RESPOND TO ME UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO GET READ FOR FILTH. I have time.

    They have the best quotes here. So cute
    Jackie O.

    The service was truly sensational, offering a consistently exceptional experience. Every time I visit, either Ivy or Vivian performs my manicure, and their work is invariably outstanding. The nail designs are creative and meticulously executed, and the engaging conversations make each appointment enjoyable. The entire team demonstrates professionalism and genuine friendliness, creating a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back.

    I love polished! I've been coming here for two years. The quality of the work is unmatched. Ask for ivy or Tracy and sky!

    Great customer service and professional. Nicely kept and decorated. First time, pedi and acrylic fill. Love my shape, very satisfied! Annie is amazing, I will go back to get my nails done just to get Annie's service and detailed care for what the customer wants.
