    Just moved back to NH, had a place in Gilford do my nails... what a joke! Came here on a suggestion from my cousin and well they 100% fixed my nails. This will be my nail salon for now on. Place is clean and relaxing and right to the point. Very very happy.

    Cuts and redness along the edges. Uneven polish application and imperfections of polish along nail bed :/

    Someone recommended that I go here as I was not familiar with nail salons in the area. I figured why not. I wanted a gel mani. So yesterday I showed up in the morning...and waited. And waited. And waited. One hour and 15 minutes later they took me in. Now I am not giving 2 stars because of that however I will say that it didn't help matters. If you know Feb vacation is beginning, just staff a couple more people. But they could have cared less if I were there all day to be honest. On to the review: The woman was VERY rough. I think it was the owner. I have cuts around my nail bed and now I have an infection starting from the nail bed going down my finger. I understand you are in a rush but CALM. DOWN. You may have skin tough like leather but I don't (her skin is beautiful but I am speaking of the toughness aspect). And being so focused on moving quickly that you disregard my physical comfort. The manicure itself is average to below average. She filed my nails down way too much and any length I had is now gone. A lot of imperfections along the nail bed and I can already see when it grows out in a week it is going to crack and peel because of the poor quality. I have 2 stars instead on 1 because the girl (a white woman with brown hair I believe...not sure of her name) who works the front was kind enough to try and make the situation better. She apologized for the wait. She tried very hard to smooth over the situation and I do appreciate her excellent customer service skills. Regardless please do not go here. It's not a good situation going on over there sadly

    I went to Polished Nails & Skin for the first time today with a friend for mani pedis and we had a great time! The staff were friendly and professional, the place was super clean and we got in right on time! The ombre that I wanted to do was a little too dark to show up so we ended up just going with a black-and-white design and I LOVE how it came out!! I'll definitely be coming back the next time I want a good mani pedi!

    Not being fully glued down is going to be a headache later.

    The salon is super clean, the folks are really nice, and the prices are really fair. But there are issues. We had manicure and pedicures. The pedis were phenomenal. The manicures were not worth the price at all. No matter how much my friend and I explained what we wanted... it wasn't done. We gave up explaining and determined we would have to fix it all ourselves when we got home. The biggest problem is that we both had issues with the nails not being fully glued down so they already (within hours) started to chip up. We'll go back for pedicures, but not manicures.

    Poor quality manicure with cut cuticles

    There is no rating low enough for this place. They don't give you what you pay for and have the nerve to ask "why you no tip" My mani and pedi are both disgusting. Tracy cut my finger during the mani. They are also dirty and don't disinfect after each client. There was dirt and watermelon seeds in my pedi water. After I left they recharged my credit card for a tip I did not authorize. They also refused to return my credit card or give me a receipt all because I refused to give a $5 tip. Stay away from this place. I will be contacting the authorities.

    Badly painted nails.

    I had an appointment at 10:30 and they didn't even begin with me until 11:00 I had to leave by 11:30 and they did not seem to understand that after I repeatedly told them. My nails ended up coming out awful as well (especially the big toe). Definitely wouldn't recommend.

    Design under white paint. Why ??? So bad.

    Terrible experience. I was rushed in and out. I showed them what I wanted and was told yes I can do that, then three different people got in on doing my nails! What? Weird. I paid for the gel manicure and they didn't give me a manicure, they just painted my nails. They also left paint on my skin. I could have done a better job, my kid could have done a better job actually. When I was asked "this ok?" I said no and they got offended, WIPED OFF THE PAINT with a cloth and put and other coat on over her horrible design ( you can see this in my photo) took my money and sent me out the door very unsatisfied. Had to go to another nail salon to have them fix this mess. Bad experience.

    I was a little skeptical since most of the reviews were not so great. I went the day before a friend's wedding for a powder dip French manicure and an eyebrow wax. Now, two weeks later, the nails still look amazing. No chips, no peeling. The only way you can tell I didn't just get them done is because my nails have grown a little since getting them done. Will definitely go back.

    So I have had acrylic nails for 30 years. I decided to try new place. I had a new set of nails (2 weeks) and wanted french style where acrylic new and looked good...a little sloppy in edges but ok, After grinding shelac off tech insists on new set saying that They were sloppy and 1 crooked so said ok. It took him 2 1/2 hours! I repeatedly asked for french- 8 or more times. He insisted on hombre. I finally caved and said fine. He showed me samples, I chose white tip with sparkles and said I LOVED IT! He put on new set, showed me a pink color on phone and said he would do that with sparkles. He put opaque white acrylic on tips, pink with sparkle acrylic on nailbed. Now I will need to have this pink soaked off to do french or let grow out. The look is pretty but TOTALLY not what I repeatedly asked for. He charged me $60! For his 2 1/2 hours I gave him $20 tip...should have looked closer at nails. They had drips underneath, were wavy, crooked and a terrible job. I went back next day where they had his wife fix. She would not talk to me and was very rough. It was not my fault he did such a horrible job- easily the WORST ever in 30 years! I had to return 2 days later after the crooked nail she replaced broke. She fixed it for me and I gave her $10 for her trouble. I was leary but wanted to give salon another chance. Asked for fill 2 weeks later, black shelac paint with glitter over. She said the fill would be $40 and I better not come back to complain!!! Expensive but I hoped that now that it would be worth it and gave her $10 tip because the polish was pretty and she did take her time doing and followed direction. Nope. Nails bumpy and uneven. Shelac peeling after 1 hour and there was no shine to polish where top coat was not fully applied. I went back next day to fix tip where polish peeling. She said too busy and come back later. I did and returned 1 1/2 hours later and she (Owner Traci) says I will have to wait for others who are waiting ahead of me???? She had me come back why???? I left disgusted and will NEVER return again. Ladies, take these reviews to heart. They make you feel like it is your fault they did a crappy job. If I figure out how to add pictures I will, yes Traci, I am sooo happy I saved them. Oh, and be aware they prefer cash for all including tip with postings "No tip on credit cards" and have a buy 6 cash get discount card clearly so they can avoid paying proper taxes on their earnings. So in 2 weeks I am into nails that are uneven (I was going to deal with) peeling black shellac over white acrylic for $140 that look like absolute sh*t and have pink powder that will have to grow out before I can ever have a french manicure again. This place was easily the WORST I have EVER experienced and I have never cried about bad nails until today. They are truly horrible. Wish I could leave a zero but it can't and even that would not be low enough. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Oh, salon clean and pretty but that doesn't fix a bad nail job by techs I recognize as fired by my old technician who while a bit more expensive truly cares that you are satisfied. Grass is not greener on other side ladies, its sh*t brown and muddy. DONT DO IT!!!

Mind you, it's down my back & very thick. I knew I needed to find a salon & stylist to be loyal to. I came across CCC & decided I would make a quick phone call to get an appointment. I spoke with Stephanie; she asked me some qualifying questions to match me with a stylist that would be the best fit. Typically, salons are booked on Saturdays (from some experience & other calls that I made), but given the nature of my request, she told me she would schedule me for a Saturday appointment at 9:00 AM with Elise. She ensured me that Elise is their "color expert" & is very familiar with treating thick, long, damaged hair. My initial feeling when entering the salon was WOW, this place is STUNNING. The decor & the front desk were so modern & updated. I love the light fixtures that they have when you enter & over some of the products for sale. For someone such as myself who is not very versed in this sort of thing (going to get my hair done & being pampered), I felt like I was in a very nice & upscaled environment. I had a lot of appreciation for whoever was in charge of the interior design (more of my department). I was greeted right away when I walked in. There were not a great deal of customers at that time, which I can't complain about considering I would rather have more of a one-on-one experience. Each stylist's chair was the same & had furniture-style cabinetry with granite countertops. Elise knew she had a project when she was told about my appointment. She was excited, however. My "project" took (3) hours to complete! But in that time, we had a lot of great conversation. She genuinely cared about me & getting to know me. She did an AMAZING job! After washing my hair with exceptional products, to adding highlights & lowlights to the exact color I was envisioning with organic dye, to explaining the whole process including the toner, she really took pride in reinventing my hair that needed help. She didn't even shame me for using box dye ;) The end result was drying & curling my hair. She also asked if she could take pictures to post on her Instagram which I agreed to. Believe me, the before & after pictures are a substantial improvement! I already have my next appointment booked & I cannot wait!! Sure, it's not cheap to have hair dyed & treated, but it is worth it. Thank you, Elise, for your hard work! I would certainly recommend making a relationship & connection with Creative Colors & Cuts if you are on the market for a salon, whether for hair or nails or the other services they provide.

Before my appointment started, I asked a gentleman at the salon how much Gel-X cost, and he told me it would be $55. The technician who did my nails barely communicated with me throughout the service. The only questions she asked were what shape and color I wanted. I also told her that the nails were too long, but she didn't seem to care and continued without making any adjustments. When it came time to choose a color, I asked how many coats she normally applies, and she told me one. However, she ended up applying at least three coats. Once she finished, I told her that I didn't like the color and was unhappy with how long the nails were. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, she told me the nails were already dry and that I would have to start over if I wanted a different color. I asked if she could simply remove the color, but she refused and said she had another client coming in that has an appointment. Things got even worse when it was time to pay. The total came to $62.52, even though I had been quoted $55. When I questioned the price, she turned the screen toward me and pointed out an extra charge for "long length" nails. I never asked for long nails--in fact, I specifically mentioned that they were too long. Charging me extra for something I didn't request is unacceptable. Maybe there was a language barrier that caused a miscommunication between the gentleman who assisted me to the technician. I also noticed a $1.52 tax charge. Since New Hampshire does not have a general sales tax on nail services I was confused about why I was being charged tax. I paid in cash, so there shouldn't have been any card processing fees either. It didn't occur to me until the next day, but now I can't help but wonder how many other customers have been charged tax/fees without noticing. Between the poor communication, lack of concern for customer satisfaction, unexpected charges, and disappointing results, this was one of the worst salon experiences I've had. I will never return and would not recommend this salon to anyone.

I said I was really worried as my last haircut they took off three inches when I asked for a trim. They said they had the perfect person for me. I went in for a bang trim and told her I hadn't gone to a stylist for three months and actually took a xanax because I was so worried about too much being taken off. I joked that I know it's crazy to be so scared and she said "right, it's hair. it will grow back." I should have jumped out of the chair then. I made a big deal of taking as little as possible off. She cut the bangs to above my eyebrows. I ALWAYS have my bangs below them and closer to my eyes. Not only that, but I have a shag cut, and she cut some of the side pieces , that are NOT part of the bangs, they blend with the shag. I didn't' notice how bad it was until I got home and looked in the mirror. I even washed it again thinking I just needed to style it better. Nope. I went to an emergency hair appointment this morning to see if it could be blended. I showed her a photo taken three days ago to compare to after the bang cut, and she agreed that those side pieces should never have been touched, and it will be another five or so months to get that length back and there was nothing I could do. She also pointed out that the right side was shorter than the left. I was sooo honest about just wanting the tiniest trim to clean up the bangs. It was horrible. I was very , very honest and adamant about taking off a little as possible. She should have used clips to hold back the side pieces that are part of the shag. And she should have taken just a tiny bit off and asked if that was good. It's easier to take too little off and take off more than to do a big chop. Now have to start ALL over again. PS...I NEVER leave bad reviews. If you check my profile I LOVE giving good reviews and supporting business in the area. I feel bad about leaving this one. But I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Yes like the stylist said "it's just hair". But for many of that it's a HUGE part of our identity and confidence.
