    SNS: What I asked for and what I got. But the real problem was how the owner handled it.

    I've been to Polished many times now, but I'm sad to say that this is the end for me. It's really too bad, because all of the techs who work there have been unbelievably meticulous, friendly, and professional. It's the owner who needs to go. Like other reviewers, I've been on the receiving end of her condescendingly telling me I booked the wrong services or wrong appointment times, but today took the cake. I had been in for an SNS mani and asked for a beige color. The tech, after looking for a while, pulled out a new jar of powder that hadn't been labeled. I told her it looked too pink to be right, but she insisted. Halfway through I again said it couldn't be right, at which point the owner came over and told me I was wrong. So I figured, what do I know, these people are professionals. At the end of the mani I took my pink nails up to the counter (see pic) to discuss with the owner. She still insisted they were the same color, and didn't even offer an apology. There are a lot of great things about this salon, but the owner's pattern of poor customer service has me looking for a new place. I can't go back to this salon if I can't even trust that the color I pick will be the one that ends up on my nails, and it's extremely disconcerting that the owner doesn't seem to understand that mistake.

    My patriotic Pedicure

    My Father was going to have Cataract surgery at the Laser Center and the were not allowing any one in to wait, so they told me 2 hours, which was more like 3. So I have not had a pedicure since 8/2019 and my feet were looking pretty rough. So I called a few places and no one was answering the phone. I called Polished and they had an appointment in 30 minutes and would take me. I entered the place with a mask on and met Kristen, I think. I am horrible with names. They supply face shield for customers and themselves while performing pedicures. Nicely organized and clean. We chatted and I asked for a patriotic pedicure. She was more than happy to perform. 1 hiccup with the flag, but a quick redo and walah a masterpiece. I will definitely come again.

    The salon is clean, the service is friendly and prompt, and the work is beautiful with great attention to detail. I love the hand and shoulder massages as well as the paraffin wax. When I came in for a gel polish manicure and had to have my previous gel manicure removed and asked for an additional rhinestone design they accommodated graciously. I would highly recommend this salon. A great deal for a very reasonable price.

    The worst manicure I have ever experienced. The nail technician was curt and short with me. She seemed annoyed that I did not make an appointment even though they advertise "Walk In's" appreciated. The technician told me my nails had ridges and were very dry. I asked for a certain shape, square with round edges and she grunted at me and said "ok". She cut my nails with a nail cutter then filed to shape. When I asked her to fix one nail she said I was looking at it wrong. Polish was put on and it was heavy in some areas and streaky in another. When I asked if she could even the polish out she said with tone, "Honey, the color is neutral and this is how it is." I got up and left the nail salon. The entire manicure walk in to polish was :30 minutes total. I'm 48 years old and have been enjoying wonderful manicures in many different nail salons for 30 years. If you choose to have your nails done here, make sure your service is not done by the technician who drives the Q5 Black Audi parked on the side of Atons Cleaners.

    Great experience. Tia is amazing!! I will ask for her every time for myself and for my daughter. She painted my daughter's nails recently. She took her time and did a perfect job. She even let my daughter pick a design and when my daughter requested something that was not in her portfolio she said that it's not a problem and she expertly drew a rubber duck on tiny nails and even included details. Check out the pic. I am so impressed that she could do this with nail polish and on the spot. A true artist.

    Tips placed on the top two fingers and pinky.

    Absolutely awful and left feeling robbed. Walked in to have a dip mani. I brought my own powder. Sat down and the lady was annoyed but accepted it. Started arguing with her colleagues about another colleague. Have no clue what was said but it was a lot of grumbling, shaking her head and pointing. Now due to stress, I bite my nails and 3 were very short so she offered to place tips on them. In the past it is usually 2-3$ per nail. Well fast forward to complaining about my nail color, bitching about the other employee who took the "only" electric file in the building, blaming my nail shape for the application, we finish the service by me washing my hands and her giving me a drop of AVEENO for me to massage my hands... I got to pay ... $68 effing DOLLARS! I said for what! Was told that each tip was 6$ but she "forgot" I came in with nothing on my nails so suddenly the base price was $45. The bill was $61! For that price at my typical salon my nails have had design and actually quality work. Never again

    First and LAST time here. Rude and condescending. Zero customer service skills. Go across the street to Luxor nails!

    I love the cleanliness of the salon and the additional services added in with a manicure such as shoulder massage and paraffin wax treatment.

And let me tell you, if money were no object, I'd be here every 4 weeks like clockwork. For just a little extra than the basic hydra facial, you get a complimentary LED AND dermaolaning (which if you added these separately would be a lot more). So far I have had two with her and definitely plan on coming back. I have also had nail services with Ava, structure gel mani, Dazzle Dry manis and spa pedicures. She is absolutely fantastic, super easy to talk to, very detail oriented and when I was apprehensive to speak up about something (which I did and it totally wasn't a big deal) she reiterated to me that if I had questions about anything, not to be worried about saying something because she wants me to leave happy. And boy , do I leave happy! The owner is also very nice and super knowledgeable and in the future, I definitely want to look into possibly getting IPL photo facial for my rosacea. They also offer brow services, lash services and other kind of skin treatments. I plan on trying those also. I know this was long but I can't say enough good things about this place!

Halloween is right around the corner so I had a design in mind to fit my Captain Marvel costume (whole family is dressing up as Marvel characters). Sun was not afraid to tell me the design I showed was to difficult because he wasnt comfortable and wanted to make sure I was getting quality beautiful nails. I SO appreciated that. Most people are afraid of the word no but you can tell how much he cares about his final product!
