I was very unsure about this review, so, I'll just share the good and the bad and you'll have to…read moredecide for yourself. First, location is close to campus, with a small parking lot, and the first thing I saw when walking up was an unhoused person sleeping on the sidewalk. Because the business has windows in the front and chairs right by those windows, it was just a little uncomfortable. I made an appointment online for 3:45, but my Regular Pedicure took until 5:15! Another girl came in after me and we were done at like the same time- did I get the slow guy? Price can't be beat- there is a small fee if you use credit card, so, bring cash. And the pedicure itself was well done! My regular pedicure was $30 and included a scrub, lotion, hot towel, and I was sitting in a massage chair, so, relaxing. Overall, the pros are price and a good pedicure. Cons were timing and vibe.

Omg. I had been going to a big salon in town for years, tipping every time and they still just…read morerefused to treat me right. I could never get in and my nails would suffer. Hailey at Polished Nails is so amazing! She keeps her appointments. She gives you special treatment and pays attention to what you want. My hands and nails never hurt because she doesn't drill them to death like my last shop. I'm never going to anyone else.

This salon actually had a whole system in place from check-in to check-out which made the service super organized and safe (respecting covid regulations with hand wash station upon arrival, temperature check, social distancing & signs everywhere). I also had a unique nail situation where I broke my nail pretty deep in the nail bed and had a fake nail on it from LA that needed to be removed. My nail tech Katie was able to remove it without causing any pain or discomfort and took her time carefully filing it down & checking in with me to make sure I did not feel any pain. I really appreciated her going over it a few extra times just to be 100% sure that it was good. I love my gel manicure and I'm so happy to have found this place and will definitely be coming back!

She did the normal things: filed my nails, trimmed my cuticles, massaged my hands with lotion, and painted my nails nicely. I had picked out a transparent color and she pointed this out. This was good because I wanted something bolder. She was fine with me picking out something else. All and all, she did a good job. But I'm giving only 4 stars because it wasn't remarkable. My friends all got pedicures (I didn't) and they came out cute, too. We will probably all go back again.
