    New to the area and needed a go-to nail spot - so glad I tried Polished! Welcoming and open interior space that was clean. Wilma was lovely and did my pedicure and no chip- mani with great detail and I'm very happy with how they turned out. Will definitely be back :)

    White spots are damage and pink is the new nail growth.

    Polished ruined my nails! I had a good experience with a seasoned nail technician the first time; however, during subsequent two subsequent visits, the front desk manager, Nina, assigned me to novices who overfiled nail surfaces. It is taking me months to grow out the brittle and damaged nails.

    **** HORRIFYING EXPERINCE **** I walked into the polished salon in oak park on 2/6/24 around 5pm. I showed the receptionist who I later found out was the owner a picture of the design I wanted to get done. She confirmed they could do this particular style and brought the Nail tech (Izmar) to the front and she confirmed she knew how to do this style. I asked for the price which was $115.0 and I agreed for her to start. Once I sat down in the techs chair as she was starting the foundation of my Gel X nails -I noticed her process was different then what I am used to with getting Gel X. She was one the phone talking to someone majority of the time. Once she got of the phone I informed her that two of my nails were crooked. She agreed that one nail was crooked and told me that the other nail was not crooked it was just my finger is crooked. I told her that was odd because my finger was not crooked before when getting these done by someone else. We agreed that she take both nails off and redo them. Once we starting doing the design I noticed the process was not going correctly so I politely said " if this design is too complicated I understand we can do something basic". She reassured me she knew what she is doing ...I decided to trust the process and let her continue. The Nail Tech starts doing the flower part of the design and stops midway during my nails and says quote " I'm sorry this design is too complicated for me." WHICH I ALREADY KNEW AS I WATCHED HER STRUGGLE DOING THEM. She also informed me after that she didn't have everything needed to complete the design. Due to the fact that she could not complete the design I told her to take it all off and I will pick a solid color ---once the process is complete and Its close to 8PM and I am leaving the salon without what I originally asked for. Now all I have is basic gel X with NO design one color polish and the tech rings me out and tells me my total is $85.00.......the starting price is $65.0 I have no designs just PLAIN POLISH. The tech proceeds to tell me the reason she is charging me $85 and not $65 is because she had to take off the prior design .......THE DESIGN THAT SHE COULD NOT COMPLETE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE SKILLS TODO AND DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE PRODUCTS TO FINISH. How is this my fault as the customer ? Why would you agree to something knowing you can't ? Why wouldn't you confirm that you have all the products necessary before you start ? and you are going to charge me for YOUR negligence??? I THINK NOT....I spoke to the owner and we agreed on $65.00. The owner also told me that normally they would charge $75.00. On the phone someone told me the starting price is $65 for basic one color polish(which is what I received)---the tech rings me up for $85......and now the owner is telling me $75 Soooo what is the correct cost ??? This is not rocket science...my nail salon experience with them has been forever ruined. When you get your nails done it's supposed to be a calming experience ---not all this back and forth. Moral of the story its ok to say NO--please do not say you can do designs and you can't. She couldn't even do something as basic as French tips. Also she is not doing Gel X properly!! I would not come here for Gel X AT ALL!! Side note: I used to come to polished all the time in high school they did my nails for both proms and Hoco every year. They used to be good/reliable. It's a shame that now they can barely do a basic/simple application. I still have to go to another salon to have them take these off due to the poor application. This was not only a waste of money but a waste of time. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ---

    Nina offers a warm welcome every time I walk in and Izamar is wonderful! I've been to many nail spots but I've found my favorite nail technician ever, Izamar. She is very thorough and detailed but efficient. I get an acrylic overlay on my natural nail with no chip polish and no chip pedicures. Definitely recommend this spot!

    I've been to the new Polished location on numerous occasions now. They do a great job with their manicures & pedicures, & they do a wonderful job accommodating my 4-year-old daughter. They're very reasonable with the pricing for the little ones, too. One word of advice though: make an appointment! Don't expect to walk-in availability on the weekends or evenings.

    Cozy ambience

    Beware of the Forest Park Elements Massage location. During…read moremy massage, the therapist applied so much pressure that I heard and felt a rib on my left side pop. The therapist heard it too, and we immediately ended the session. By the next day, the pain was so severe that I took time off work to get an X-ray because I believed my rib was broken. Fortunately, it wasn't fractured, but the X-ray confirmed significant bruising. What was even more disappointing was how management handled the situation. It took two weeks and multiple unanswered messages just to get a return call. I provided receipts for my X-ray and Groupon purchase and requested reimbursement for my medical expense, the Groupon, and the wages I lost while seeking medical care. They refused to reimburse me for anything and instead offered excuses rather than taking responsibility. Accidents can happen, but how a business responds afterward matters. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this location.

    I came back here for another try after allowing my membership to expire. I paid full price. They…read moreassigned me an "Elite" therapist who supposedly has more skills and is a better massage therapist- for more money. The table was cold. The room was cold. Her hands were like ice and when she slapped the lotion on me, it felt like it had been sitting in her car overnight. Needless to say, my Massage was just as poor. She also had a terrible attitude and her energy was very negative. OK. Maybe she was having a bad day; don't subject me to your shitty day. Enna. Avoid her. I'm so disappointed because the ladies at the front desk of top notch. All the other massage therapist smiled and greeted me when I came in. But not mine!

    I saw Joanna this afternoon for a 60 minute massage because of my sciatic and shoulder pain. As…read moresoon as I walked into her office I felt at ease. Joanna welcomed me in and sat down to discuss my issues. She asked great questions to understand my body and issues. The massage room was extremely clean and smelled like lavender and eucalyptus essential oils, which are my favorites! When she got started she asked me about the position of the head cradle, which I thought was fine at first. As she started on my back she adjusted the head cradle, which made it feel much more comfortable! I've been to many expensive spas and I have never felt more comfortable with my face planed in the face cradle than I did here. Joanna also added lavender and eucalyptus near my nose on the face cradle, which was such a nice touch! The massage was amazing! I walked out with no shoulder pain, which has been nagging me for months! Joanna payed really good attention to the areas we discussed and eased tension everywhere else! It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back!

I felt super comfortable expressing my needs and communicating with Erica during the massage, and I walked out of there feeling invigorated. My shoulders didn't feel like they were up at my ears anymore, and I felt my anxiety reduced ten-fold. The facility/room was comfortable and relaxing. I will definitely return.
