Polished is INCREDIBLE! I tell everyone who listens about how I'd never go anywhere else for my manis and pedis. Even when I lived in Fishtown, I'd drive over and hour for my regular appointments here. I've been going to polished for a few years, and have rotated through many of the nail techs- they're all skilled and deliver quality service. Huge shout out to CeCe, she is gentle and always delivers! Anny is also my babe, she was so good to me when CeCe was out. I should note, I'm a very classic nail girly, so Polished's minimal designs were totally fine for me. I really appreciate that they have made my nails stronger and healthier as I've gone there. Hoping that as I've recently moved further away, I can find anything remotely close to the quality and amazing staff that Polished has provided. read more

I love this salon. I have been coming here for a few years and love everyone. Feels like a family. Very clean. Best mani and pedi I have ever received. read more

Where do I begin. The place is not clean at all. It's hot in there on a hot day. Owner is rude, should hear the way she talks to people on the phone. Genuinely feel bad for her staff. Because I can't imagine she is paying them well. Avoid place, this isn't it. read more

Great service, affordable prices and a welcoming atmosphere. I got a regular manicure and it lasted over a week! I'll definitely be back.

This is the worst pedi I've gotten. There's polish ALL over and around my toenails and the cuticles aren't cut properly... the nail technician was also harsh with the pedicure and made my toes bleed I don't like to leave reviews but this isn't acceptable. I will not be back. read more

The vibe is very chill. Very relaxed. It's pretty easy to get to and they are very diligent about keeping appointments. I got a gel mani with a polished pedi. I was very pleased with how it turned out and they didn't try to press me to get a more expensive service. The conversation was light and fun and an over all great experience. I think I found my new nail spot! read more

Has the best experience at this place!!! Everyone was so nice!!! Susan was my tech and was the GREATEST!!

I wasn't very optimistic at first about my visit here since most of the reviews were very old however the service and product I received was amazing. I came in for a black french tip gel pedicure and I got just what I wanted. The service was great and the workers are very friendly. I definitely recommend this salon if your in the area. read more

I was able to make an appointment just 20 min before the set time slot through their helpful phone staff, and I had Polly do an express pedicure. Polly did an excellent job with the pedicure and was very attentive, checking with me every step to make sure I was satisfied with the polish color, scrub, etc. She was very friendly and quick. I really enjoyed my experience there, and I'll definitely be back! read more

This is the too-good-to-be-true, always welcoming, clean nail salon in the cute neighborhood that you have been searching for, ladies and gents. Expert service from technician Sally; she has a gift for the craft and awesome personality! Gel Mani lasted for three weeks and nails are stronger than ever...you should check them out. 02/15/20 update: She (Sally) did it again (see pic w/vino)...took it back to the classic Lincoln Park After Dark.... Perfect mani every time! And she's permanently at this location now YAY Happy Sunday y'all! read more

Clean + relaxing spot. My pedicure still looks perfect 3 weeks later! Love that they focus on using nontoxic products. Definitely coming back. read more

Seriously best nail salon around! Love their spa pedicures...great service, clean, and pedicure lasts a really long time! They're very accommodating and friendly. Perfect for beach time when you need that extra TLC. Great for a ladies day of pampering as well as quick lunchtime spruce! Great service.. someone below commented regarding their race and svc they received-- I'm Indian and did not feel as though I was treated any different from the other patrons. All the ladies that work here are highly professional and friendly, kudos! Btw--spa pedicure also includes wine! Winning! read more

I have been eyeing this salon for a while. Finally made an appointment for a manicure and pedicure, no gel. It's a quaint salon and relatively quite. A nice selection of colors and very clean methods for sanitation. I was rather impressed with my nail tech listening to my wants and she nailed it. Appointments are encouraged and give yourself time to find parking it can be a little tight in this location. read more

I've been going here for years and always enjoyed it. Good service, friendly staff and easy to book appointments online. I'm sure all of that is the same except the easy booking online. They upgraded/changed their booking system. Can't make an appointment and can't get them to pick up the phone. Good luck with appointments but if you get in; I think you will like it. read more

Be aware that business says there are no exceptions to a 100% charge for cancellations - hope you or your children do not get sick if you've booked an appointment. Dean Prak seemed to enjoy telling me about the policy. read more

Got the express pedicure. Everything was very clean and sanitary and they do great work!

I've been coming here for at least 5 years, probably longer. My first two nail techs aren't there anymore, but I always find a quick replacement who is great. Now I see Vy or Cece and they're both great. It doesn't smell like acrylic when you walk in, they are almost always on time for appointments, and the gel manis last 2 full weeks! read more

Very pleasant environment. Quick service and quiet enough to finish my book. I didn't even realize how busy it got. Definitely will be bac read more

Polished Salon - Going Rouge for Fall - Nail Salons Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Great attention to detail, very clean, and a cute little place. I'm very picky with nail salons and this is definitely my new go to. They take their time and are still very efficient. The employees are so sweet and do an impressive job-- but walk ins limited so book ahead online! so worth it :) read more

I absolutely love this place! My sister and I go in every couple weeks for a shellac (gel) mani and we love it there. The place is clean, doesn't have chemical smell, comfortable, and relaxing. The staff is wonderful! It's easier to make an appointment but they do accept walk ins. I always make an appointment because my schedule is very busy and it's better to know that I'll be in and out and on to my next thing on time. The color selection there is excellent! The ladies there are very stylish and helpful with picking out colors. I've had manis and pedis there and both are great! Price is average and for the great experiences I have, it's definitely worth it! Also a huge plus for a nice girls day out is that it's BYOB! read more

Polished Salon - They don't typically do designs but a couple of the girls do. Here are my festive NFL Philly Eagles nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Full disclaimer: I'm an adult male and I get regular manicures! That out of the way, I will only go to Polished Salon in Trolly Square for my "Manlycures". I mostly use their online appointment portal, but I also have made last minute appointments by phone if I happen to be in the area. My regular tech is CeCe. She is very friendly and does an awesome job! Sure, the place is a bit cozy, but I'm not going there with a bunch of my friends to hang out. I'm there to get a good manicure by staff who know what they are doing so I'm not bothered by the relatively small interior space. Note: they prefer to be tipped separately with cash (service can be paid by credit card thought) so make sure you have some on you when you get your service done. I only get manicures, about every 2 weeks, so I can't comment on their other service offerings, but I do notice they are busy most of the time and many seem to be regulars so they must be doing most things right. So if you are a guy who likes nice manicured nails and hands, then this is the salon you want to go to. read more

I just relocated to the area and needed a mani and pedi. I love that they have appointment time slots and do their best to keep on schedule. The salon had a friendly atmosphere, and all technicians appeared very professional. I love that they don't use any drills on your nails and use top-quality products. I was a little apprehensive when I noticed how quickly my technician moved, but I was soon put at ease when I saw that she was efficient and skilled and that my nails turned out perfect. This might be my new nail spot. read more

Went with a friend for a pedicure. Disappointed with the experience except the techs were nice. Not really worth the money, in my opinion.

The best salon for gel nails around!!! Polly and Thary are the best. Make sure you make an appt beforehand!!

I've been going to this location for over a year and I love it. Super easy to make an appointment online and they've always been on time. All the girls here are great, but my favorite is Polly. She's excellent at cuticle clean-up and the polish application is always clean and tidy. I usually just get the Express Pedicure, but have gotten gel manis twice and they stayed chip-free for pretty long. I've gone to other salons when I'm in a bind and can't get here, but I'm never as pleased with the results as when I come here. I like that they don't grind your nail beds down with a machine for the gel manis. I'm all for making your manicure last as long as possible, but not at the expense of my nail condition when it comes time for removal. read more

I really like this place. I've been here twice. I've had one great experience and one not so great experience here so I'm hesitant to return, but probably will. The pros - great color selection, really great atmosphere...sophisticated and great for groups, the a-la-carte pricing (polish color change v. express manicure v. full polished manicure) is great for when you had a manicure a couple of weeks ago and just want a color change without the huge price. Their prices overall were really reasonable (under $40 for a mani-pedi if you mix-match the express with a full one) and they take walk-ins with very little wait. I've never had a problem finding street parking near them either. My bad experience was that they tried to charge me for a "shellac" removal because they were using a nail polish remover that was basically water...they had diluted it down so much that she couldn't remove the normal essie nail polish that I had on...when she switched to the regular full strength stuff it came off instantly....I normally am the type of person to let things go and not create a fuss, but I refused to pay an extra $3 because they wanted to save money and dilute their products down to make them last longer. When I pointed this out to them they quickly agreed and returned the money, but it kind of ruined my experience... read more

Salon: nice interior, good location, clean Staff: very nice Service: pretty good Cost: this is where the points come off... I wanted a polish change and got one, but paid for a full manicure. WTF? I can't afford to pay the price of a full manicure when all i want and all I get is a change of polish, so, probably won't go back. my nails are one of those habits that I make priority to keep up, so, I have to work them into my budget somehow... pity because I liked the salon and otherwise would have been a regular. read more

Absolutely love this place! It doesn't smell like your typical nail salon--they're chemical free and the same price as everywhere else that is dirty and smelly and uses chemicals. Friendly, clean, modern and stylish environment. Polished takes walk-ins, which is great since I never know when I'll need a mani. Complimentary beverages with spa manis and pedis -- they have cute mini wines. I love and always get the Shellac mani. It stays on for up to 3 weeks, if you ask for a third coating! They charge $5 to take off shellac, so I just peel mine off in advance. Can't put tip on credit card--so bring some cash! I haven't had a pedi yet b/c it's been too cold, but I can't WAIT. I wish they offered a combo price for mani/pedi, but I don't think they do. SO glad I discovered this place and that the pricing is on par with what it should be for these kinds of services. read more

Was passing through DE on a long east coast road trip from NJ to GA and wanted to stop in to my former workplace in Wilmington. Realized this would be the only day I might have time for a mani/pedi before my cousin's wedding in VA, so searched some reviews for a place to go. Saw some nice reviews for Polished and called to see if appointment was necessary and they were able to accommodate me immediately. Kim Lee did a great job and i loved that this was an acrylic free salon so there was no nasty smell there! read more

When I lived in Newark I'd drive all the way to Hockessin to visit polished (the orginal) this place rocks and is owned by two of the nicest people you will ever meet. The second location opened a few months before I moved out if trolley so I got to take advantage of this place while I was still in walking distance. I came in to a few additions Which are awesome : they now carry zoya nail products, they offer the shellac manicure and they have added two more pedicure chairs. They offer services for every budget and manicures start at $11 and go up to $30 for the all out treatment the signature polished mani that comes with a glass of wine and a bunch of extra relaxing touches. Pedicures 23-48 and the polished service is offered for that as well. Plenty of guys frequent this place and they offer quite a few man services. The staff here is super friendly and accommodating. read more

A nice, semi-upscale nail salon in Trolley Square, this 2nd location of Polished has been open for a year although I just found out about it. It's more like being in someone's living room than a salon - all soothing green and brown earth tones with hardwood floors and exposed brick. It's not filled with chemical fumes and everything seems clean (including sterilized tools, and I saw the pedicure tubs being washed between customers). Definitely a relaxing experience and my nails look nice! It's a bit more expensive than your basic shopping center nail salon - though there are different price points to choose from, depending on what services you want - but I thought it was worth it since I'm always mildly creeped out by places that just spritz the tools with alcohol. Update: My Polished manicure lasted for over a week! Yay. read more

Just moved to the area and needed to find a place to get my bimonthly gel manicure - found this place on Yelp and was pleased with my experience! I am very big on a nail salon having a trendy, relaxing atmosphere especially if I have to sit in it for an hour or two - this placed delivered. The interior is updated and cute - no strong odors or kids running around. The staff is friendly and chill which I like because sometimes I don't feel like talking for an hour straight. I was very impressed with their selection of gel colors - very trendy with a wide selection. Their prices are extremely reasonable and they were efficient with their time. This was a Wednesday afternoon and I was able to walk right in without a wait. I will definitely be returning for a regular manicure and pedicure. read more

What a great nail salon. Really stands out as clean, friendly and professional. They were able to take me as a walk in on a busy Saturday. I was in town with my SO who had business in the LOMA district and I started walking around looking for a nail place. The couple of shops I found downtown were pretty scary with filthy floors and cut rate polish choices. I got on Yelp, found Polished, hopped in the car and was there in just a few minutes. My mani pedi was done quickly, in about 45 minutes, which was perfect timing. Looks great! Thanks, Polished. Highly recommended. read more

After years of trying nail salons once and then trying a new one next time, I've finally found a place I will continue to go again and again! They do not do artificial nails so there are none of those fumes, which is surprisingly so much better once you actually experience it. I've gotten a pedicure and two manicures there and they've all lasted longer than normal for me. The ladies working there all seem to be very meticulous with making the nails look perfect. I might say the color selection is not the absolute best, but I often bring my own polish in anyway. Unfortunately tipping is cash only, you cannot add it to your credit card, so remember to bring some green with you! read more

From Philly and was in Delaware for work...needed my pedi and gel mani done desperately. Yelped this spot and was so pleased. Nary did my services and was sweet and professional. She did a fantastic job on both and helped me pick out colors that looked great. Probably one of the best pedicures I have ever gotten. Love my nails. Thanks Polished! read more

I've had both gel manicures, regular manicures and normally get the sole pedicure. I haven't stuck with one manicurist so I've had slightly different experiences with each and when I find one who does everything just how I like I'll stick with them. I've had manicurists who were a little rough on my cuticles and one manicure immediately had paint rubbing off on the tips the same or next day but for the most part I like the ambiance, the products they use and the location. When I got a gel manicure last year the paint probably lasted around 10 days. I went in for a pedicure recently (regular polish) and it's already lasted me over two weeks so I think that's pretty good. I would recommend. read more
