I went to this nail shop to get a full set done around 11 a.m., thinking it would be empty, but it was completely packed. As I waited, I started getting worried because I had to head back to work something I normally wouldn't try to squeeze in during my workday, but I had no other availability this week. I asked how much longer the wait might be since other clients were being helped (which I understand may have been appointments), and I wanted to know if I had enough time to stay or if I needed to leave. They were very kind and let me know I was next. Lily ended up helping me, and she was amazing. She was so attentive and apologetic about the wait, even though it was really my own time crunch. She took her time and paid so much attention to detail with my nails. In the 20+ years I've been getting my nails done, this is honestly one of the few times I can truly say they came out perfect from the shape to the polish to the design. I absolutely loved my nails and will definitely be booking with Lily again in the future. She was so sweet and genuinely such a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you, Lyn read more

I love the quality and experience I get when I come to this nail salon as I have paid the same price or more at other salons and felt the quality wasn't worth it. They usually get you in quickly. Clean and professional. Susan was an amazing lady takes her time to get your desired results. read more

Lily ( I hope her name) I highly recommend due to caring, professional and a lovely service. Birthday tomorrow I've been gardening and nails were full of dirt. Lovely massage at the end. So very caring- * I added her picture please let her know how amazing she is. !! Fun movie playing in the background- my preferred vibe! read more

Pros: they were responsive on Yelp and got me in the next day an hour after they opened. They have a lot of pedicure options with extra spa add ons- I'll attach a photo. My pedicure was fine- I mostly went for callus removal and my heels were better but still definitely rough when I left. Cons: it is very dirty in the salon. Every corner is grimy and it seems like it hasn't been deep cleaned in a very long time. All the technician carts are super dirty and every drawer that was opened looked dirty. Beyond that though, the chair arm rests had nail dust all over them and the leg rests too. The floor looks like it is rarely even swept. Also they had the same 3 minute video/and audio playing on a loop the entire time and that was super not ideal by the end haha. (I was the first client in there about 30 minutes after they opened so I can only imagine how dirty it was by the end of the day). Ultimately I won't be back because I grew increasingly grossed out and worried for my own foot health the longer I sat there and looked around unfortunately :/ read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I came in on May 24 and said 2 pedicure and a full set and they took me and my partner in to do pedicures first and then a couple minutes later the owner or worker at the front desk came to tell me she's not gonna be able to do my full set of nails that some other day mind you if I knew she wasn't we wouldn't even have got the pedicure there in the first place we would've gone somewhere else where they actually would do my full set as well. That's why when we walk in we tell you what service we want done. You could've made it clear from the start. Worst part is she said she'd see If I can get them done and she decided to just walk out and leave. Very UNPROFESSIONAL. Never coming back here again. I could've easily walked out myself like she did but we're not all like that. Have respect. Terrible place. Just cause you're the owner doesn't mean your shit don't stink. read more

Horrible Horrible experience, the staff was just staring at me, so unkind, so unfriendly. Just sat me down and literally just stared at me. I will never come to this place again. Worst nail salon in bakersfield. read more

Been here a few times before decided to try it again. The service was awful waited 20 min and the tech I had was rude and no personality as well as on the phone. My pedi was the worse barely any clean up and done quickly. I won't be coming back. There are so many options now to come and pay for bad service. read more

I have visited this salon a few different times for pedicures and always have a great experience! Amber and Michelle are both fantastic - highly recommend! read more

Amber is the best with pedicures! Very detailed with her work, I recommend you ask for her when you get yours.

5 STARS for Polished Nail Bar ! I reached out to Polished on Yelp at 10:30 AM on a Saturday, asking for the works: a gel French tip pedi for me and a basic kids pedi for my 5-year-old son. I expected a "Sorry, we're slammed" kind of response, but instead I got a magical "Come on down!" text like I was on The Price Is Right. We walked in and the place was packed. I thought we'd be waiting forever, but nope! They whisked us to chairs like we were VIPs who somehow made a reservation in 1997 and they were still honoring it. They even had a cute pink kid's chair ready, but since my little dude is more "blue Hot Wheels" than "pink princess," he sat with me in the big people chairs. It was his first pedi ever and he was skeptical until the kind, patient staff won him over. Now, my 5-year-old has no filter and the emotional range of a Shakespearean actor, so of course when the nice man came to seat us, my son looked him dead in the eye and said, "YOURE BALD." Thankfully, the man laughed and replied, "Baldy is my nickname," which might be the chillest response ever and immediately made me a lifelong customer. I got the "Pamper Me" gel pedicure with a French tip, and it delivered. We're talking callus removal, sugar scrub, lotion, paraffin wax, hot stones, AND a neck wrap situation that made me feel like I was in a spa commercial. My feet were reborn. For $90 before tip, it was worth every penny. My son got the kids pedi with a scrub and massage, and they even clipped his fingernails ..because why not get the full toddler tune-up? Eva was my nail tech and a total sweetheart. She kept checking to make sure I liked the French tip shape (I did), and just made the whole experience so relaxing and lovely. Also the provided Amy took care of my son and did a wonderful job!! TLDR: My feet are soft My son is now a tiny diva "Baldy" deserves a raise I shall return. With friends. And snacks. read more

While I so appreciated that my fingernails weren't damaged after a gel manicure, I am so sad I got a pedicure there. She filed the tops of my toenails, and now they have white spots on every single nail a full month and a half later. Pretty sure it's a fungus because I keep waiting for the spots to grow out, but they don't seem to be. so mixed feelings here!! Yes on hands-no on feet. read more

I came to get a pedicure and Amber was amazing! She made the entire experience very enjoyable and comfortable. She did an amazing job and was very gentle. I will coming back to her for sure! read more

Asked for a nude base with a baby blue French tip. Had to stop service because the base was horrible. They were super nice and invited me to go back. I did but when I got there the following day they starred at me as if i was an inconvenience. At the end of the second service the lady asked to see a pic of what I originally wanted. I pulled my phone to show her. She takes my phone and walks two spots over to show her coworker. Then both laugh making me feel uncomfortable. Why take my phone. Why laugh. And why stare at me when I came back giving them a second chance for a good service. I still tipped 15$ definitely won't go back. read more

The staff is incredibly nice. They did an amazing job on my fill and pedicure. It's a beautiful large salon!

Didn't like the wait time. But loved the quality and how great my nails came out! Wish it was cleaner but maybe because it was the end of the day. Other than that love my nails and the shape and length! read more

Need to teach the nail technician the proper way to paint nails and actually make them match. My daughter requested a leopard print French tip with a single flower on ring finger. The young guy who did her nails did not do the flowers matching at all. The flowers were made too big for the length of her nails and one even covered the whole leopard print French tip. She is so disappointed because she spent over $90 of the nails but is worried she will be forced to pay more to get them fixed. I told her I would go back with her today(she got them done yesterday) and talk to manager but she doesn't wanna look like a "Karen". We are going in cacay and she wanted to spend her first check on nails for trip and is so unhappy read more

I honestly don't understand why I gave this place a second chance. After trying to give it another opportunity, I left extremely upset. It seems like the only option here is gel polish because they don't have the patience to let regular polish dry. Both times I asked for my daughter's nails to be fixed, they immediately removed the toilet paper between her nails, causing them to touch and rub off. In the end, I had to pay extra for gel just to avoid further issues. And even then, there was glitter and white paint all over her nails. Why offer regular polish if you're not willing to let it dry properly? When it came time for my fill, the technician was very rough with the file and hurt me multiple times. The layers of pink looked awful, so I requested a glitter coat to cover it up--didn't want to make a big fuss. As soon as I was done, the technician got up and told me to leave the chair. I didn't even get a moment to check my nails. There was no effort to accommodate me with a chair to sit in while my daughter got her pedicure. I asked for one and sat down to examine my nails, only to find clear top coat all over my skin, making it feel tight and uncomfortable. I asked the manager to look at both my nails and my daughter's, and she said they could fix it. She did what she could, but I was still very disappointed with the overall service. After giving this place a second chance, I can confidently say I won't be back. The cleanliness of the salon is also a huge concern--there's dust and dirt everywhere. It's not just a little bit; it's layers of grime. I can't imagine how unsanitary everything is. I really don't know how anyone works here every day and is okay with the filth.

Susan was absolutely fabulous she made sure to take her time and made my nails look so good. The vibe here was awesome! I will be making this salon my go to!!

I took my 11 year old granddaughter for a basic kids manicure and based on the pricing list I expected to pay $23, but when the bill came it was $48! They said she was not a kid! I asked for a pedicure and was charged extra to remove gel polish, that I know for a fact was not gel. Price gouging place!! read more
