    Cat eye gel nails by Crystal
    Lynda W.

    Love how artistic my nail tech always gives me different designs each time I come. She listens to what I like and creates her magic. I had a work event in the Hamptons so I wanted something blue for the oceans. She gave me these gorgeous blue crimson glitter cat eye nails. They accommodate my last minute appointments and she spends time, never rushed to show a few samples. Repeat business from me for sure. Good vibes and always leaves with gorgeous nails

    This review is truly overdue! Cindy has been doing my manicures for over a year now and I have never seen someone so talented! I customarily get a classic fill with design and she has been able to create everything I've asked for with ease and SPEED! She is truly so skilled. Can't recommend Cindy at star nails enough!

    Emily is amazing! She's so sweet, friendly, and talented. I only told her the color I wanted, and she came up with the perfect design. She works fast, is very professional, and my nails always turn out beautiful. I'm not careful with my nails at all, but her work is incredibly strong and lasts so well. I highly recommend Emily!

    Love the lay out.. the music.. the vibe! It was my first time coming here and the staff is super friendly. They were very helpful over the phone to schedule my appointment. They sent me a text confirmation and even text me to see if I could come in earlier. Maddie was my artist and she was very nice and did an amazing job!

    This nail salon is now under new management for those familiar with the previous owners (Cindy and…read moreher family) - myself included. I used to be a semi-regular customer but took a six-month break from getting my nails done, so I hadn't been back until recently. I only found out about the management change after seeing the updates on Yelp. While they've kept the same name, Polished Nails, the business is completely independent from the previous management. I visited the other day for a gel-x soak-off after my three-week trip to Asia - I was long overdue for a clean-girl manicure and pedicure. I initially walked in without an appointment (rookie mistake!), so I definitely recommend making an appointment if you plan to visit. Steven was working on another customer when I arrived, but he kindly scheduled me to come back later that day - totally fair, given I hadn't called ahead. Steven and Hannah (new couple) completely remodeled the space, giving it a fresh, modern look. They've also expanded their selection with new polish colors and trendy design options, including textured effects like velvet (cat-eye), intricate 3D art, minimalist styles like micro French and nude diagonals, and bold finishes such as liquid-metal chrome and aura gradients. Steven and Hannah are offering 20% off for all services since they just had their grand re-opening. I requested a basic gel manicure ($35.00), organic basic gel pedicure ($42.00) and my gel-x soak-off ($10.00) - the total was $90.00 and with the 20% off, everything came out to be $72.00 (tipped separately). Though I only got a regular manicure without any designs, I was honestly so impressed by how meticulous and detailed Steven was. I change my nail color pretty often, and I've always wanted that perfect deep burgundy but for some reason, other salons/nail techs could never quite get the tone right. When I showed Steven the shade I had in mind, he did something unexpected: he mixed two different burgundy colors to create the exact tone I wanted. I've never had anyone do that before, and the result was spot on! Even with shaping, I usually have to "inspect" my nails afterward and request small fixes but not this time. Steven got it right on the first try, both in color and shape. It was practically perfect from the start, which says a lot! Regarding this specific Yelp page, it's important to note that it has been acquired by the new owners, Steven and Hannah. I recommend filtering the photos by "newest first" so you can see the updated nail designs and work done by them from August 2025 onward. Any older photos (prior to August) reflect the previous management - Cindy and her family, who no longer operate the salon. By doing this, you'll be able to see the difference in results and style between the previous management and the new one. Lastly, if you're someone who prefers a quiet, relaxing environment and wants to escape the loud, crowded nail salons in the area - while still getting quality nail art and care - I highly recommend coming here. It's peaceful, not overcrowded, and you can actually hear your own thoughts without feeling rushed.

    This was my first time visiting Polished Nail Salon, and I'm beyond impressed--especially since I…read moremade a very last-minute appointment. Steven did an absolutely amazing job on my nails; his attention to detail was spot-on, and they came out exactly how I wanted. I showed a photo for inspiration, and he truly mirrored it perfectly. Susan pedicure was next level--relaxing, detailed, and so well done. The whole experience was top-tier, and the staff was accommodating and welcoming. I will most definitely be back!
