    Me and my daughter came here for a mommy daughter date. They had a good collection of colors, the staff is professional, well mannered and speaks good English. They did my daughters nails really well. Mine had some smudges and dry cuticles but overall it was a good job. There is some waiting time involved if you don't have an appointment. It as crowded on a Sunday afternoon! While we waited, we were offered water. I guess technician depending the nails can be a hit or miss

    Between my two friends Doc B. issuing a challenge/edict on his review of this very place (re: real men take care of their feet) and Melissa O. stating surprise ("you haven't ever had a pedi before?"), I went to visit Red Polish Nail Bar to remedy my situation. It's very near to my place, but never had used their services before. I decided one day on a whim to try them out, and came in as a walk-in. I got Cindy when I arrived, and glad I did as she has treated me very well each time now. The massage chair itself is worth it! While I soaked my weary dogs in the basin, I enjoyed a cold beverage and relaxed, letting the chair and Cindy do their work. I got the deluxe gentleman's package which included a warm clay treatment and hot stone massage. Oh man, that's really worth it, I recommend it. If you have an hour or so to enjoy spoiling yourself, try it. *swoon* As far as cleanliness, I can say that I saw them cleaning surrounding chairs/basins while I was having my treatment done and they do a great job it appears to me. The whole spa bar itself looks great and is well maintained from its appearance. Overall, I enjoy coming here. I find it strange that the only two reviews for Red Polish Nail Bar so far are from men. But then again...real men take care of their feet.

    Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews because I have only had positive experiences here. The salon is your standard and they have kiddie pedicure chairs which is a plus. The parking lot is usually empty unless you're coming in on the weekend because it's located near a pub and some restaurants. I've only had SNS done here and I don't do any other manicure. SNS is kind of like gel polish except they dip your own natural nails into a powder which is the "nail polish". It feels so much better than gel and lasts longer as well. If you make an appointment, it's $35 for the SNS with an appointment. They also give you a stamp card and you get a free pedicure after five services more than $30. The staff is really friendly and accommodating but they do get busy and short staffed. Overall a good salon in the area.

    Mercedes did my nails last time and this time. She is efficient, friendly and the manicure lasts weeks. They have a loyalty card but you only get rewarded for paying cash and making appointments in advance. The place isn't beautiful inside. I like that they always have HGTV on because it's neutral and interesting to watch. They offer wine, water and maybe soft drinks as part of the experience.

    Nope not glitter but bubbles and dust. This was after they did it the 2nd time.

    2 1/2 hours, 3 different techs, manicure done twice and I walk out with bubbles in my manicure and the worst pedicure I have ever received.

    I went here for the first time for a gel manicure. I had Maria who was really sweet. She gave me red wine & water & she offered me more when I finished my first round of beverages, lol. It was $30 for a gel manicure & I asked about SNS & they said it is $40 or $35 for first time customer. They had a big color selection & she did a nice job. It took a bit longer than expected but it was a pleasant experience & she was very meticulous.

    One of my regular or favorite place to do nails. They are very sweet and I really feel comfortable there

    My freshly polished toes

    So I went with my wife for a Manicure and Pedicure recently & they really did a good job ....I got my toes painted Dark Blue for Colon Cancer Awareness & really like the look , the nail tech did a beautiful job painting them my wife approves .....we will return in the future ....might not be a look for everyday ....but it works for us...

    This is our first time here. It's a very nice place. We were treated like royalty as soon as we walked in. I'm pretty picky about who touches my feet and with this place I'm happy. I will definitely be back. Grade A top notch from star to finish

    I moved to Cary from Northern Virginia three years ago and discovered Red Polish through a Google search for salons that carried SNS. Cindy and her team always go out of their way to make me feel welcome and pampered. I travel out of my way to go to this salon because I know the quality of service I receive is going to be exceptional!

    I have found my new nail home. I first visited this nail salon because I had broken one of my acrylics and they were the only ones I could find to squeeze me in on a Sunday. Needless to say, I haven't left since. Cindy convinced me to give the SNS a chance and ditch my acrylics. I did and they last me 3-4 weeks each time. My nails are natural, strong and healthy. Highly recommend this salon.

    My finished nail next to nail color 24, which was the requested color.

    I am new to area and liked the location of this nail salon. First impression when I walked in was that there was a sewer problem as the place had a foul smell.... that wasn't strong enough to make me leave immediately. I picked a powder color from sample selection (24) and was a bit concerned when the first coat was applied because it looked much darker than sample I selected. Having powder dip in the past, I knew the color often changes after a few applications so I waited to see if that was the case this time. Each layer was darker and I commented that the color being used was pretty, it wasn't what I selected. She acknowledged it was different and that the sample color I selected was old and numbers had been updated. Huh? If you knew that when I showed you the color, why not make the correction at that time? Was not the cleanest nail salon I have been to and will spend the same amount of money in one that is cleaner and more in tune with customer requests.

    First time at this nail salon, and even tho it wasn't my first choice I'm very glad I ended up here! The initial greeting was very pleasant and welcoming. The manager helped answer any questions I had and then offered me a beverage. Then Mercedes took over and did fantastic. I had previously gotten my nails done and was not happy with the shape so I was going to cut all my natural nails off and start over. However, Mercedes persuaded me to keep my natural nails and that she could reshape them and it would look good. I'm so glad I did bc she did a great job! I will be back!

    Awful manicure--didn't work on my cuticles and the paint job looks like I did it myself.

    To say I'm upset & embarrassed is an understatement...i called this morning to make an appointment…read morefor after work...they scheduled me for 6:30 & i managed to get there early around 6:15. I haven't had my nails done in a salon for over a year, due to the cost & how stripped my nails had gotten from doing them consistently for 3 years. So for THIS to be my first experience & them being my birthday nails, not just a daily set is SO SO SO upsetting. I'm mad at myself for not speaking up but as a guest to a service business it shouldn't be my job to do that. I say this because i gave 3 design options to the girl & she looked at all of them like i was crazy so i did my best to simplify them for her, even let her talk me out of the gold design and THIS is what i got. I'm really upset that they didn't just tell me they couldn't do it...i would've just got my toes done instead. Worst part, the cost was outrageous. They told me the price of set 1 that i wanted would be $120+ so i agreed to go with design 2 to avoid such a high price. I still paid $75 for these because of the "French tips" I'm sorry but she did less work on the tips than she did on the solid color nails. Also the length when she put the acrylics on was perfect, they didn't get this short until she shaped all of them several times over again...I'm just confused and shocked honestly that she even thought this looked like what i wanted. Let's not forget how rushed the entire process felt since they closed at 7 and i was the last customer in there a little after 7:15. Im just beyond upset and shocked that anyone would think this work looked remotely similar to my request.

I had used a technician named Julie last time I was there and she did a great job. I called today for an appointment with Julie and was told she was not available. The person I spoke with was not fluent in English. I went: Hoping for the best. First of all, there was only customer in the place at 3 p.m. Then the quasi-manager assigned a male technician. I told her I prefer a woman, because men are too rough. I was assured that this guy was gentle; no problem. My bad: I should have walked out right then. The manicurist spoke only a few words of English. The pedicure went ok, but the manicure not so much. He did not do a good job AND WAIT FOR IT, cut the cuticle on my thumb so badly that it bled A LOT. By this point, I just wanted to get the heck out of there. I love paying $100 to be wounded while getting a BAD manicure. On the way out, I asked the quasi-manager what is going on, and why can't I get Julie to do my nails? The actual situation is that the business has been sold and all of the previous employees quit. That is why no Julie and no customers. DON'T USE THIS PLACE. And to the new owner: hey, you are doing a great job: no employees and no customers. Unless you plan to use the place to launder money, you have some material issues to deal with; one of which is that I will take you to small claims court if my finger gets infected and I need to see a doctor. GOOD

I mentioned I wanted round but after looking at the shapes posted on the wall I meant to get oval ok my mistake again I am paying for the service and didn't want it to be an inconvenience so the shape I kept. When it got to the french tip design I wanted it was an whole issue. She started with the pinky showed me the nail to see if it was the right thickness but I wanted it a little thinner and when I go to voice that to her it was huffing and puffing, eye rolling like I had just messed up her whole day because I wanted a thinner white tip and she had only did One Nail. Again I'm the one paying for the service. So I politely asked her to remove the french tip which again only the pinky was painted and to do another base coat. She gave a lot of theatrical treatment and was not professional at all telling me if she had an attitude I wouldn't be here like wow you're saying this cause I wanted a thinner french tip. It was a shocker because out of the 6 times I've been to her I never received that type of attitude. But I will be sharing with my 355k social media following to just have them beware and to come in with exactly what they want measurements, design, colors, length and correct shape if they sit in her chair because if you don't you'll receive a nasty attitude for a service YOU'RE PAYING FOR.
