I had an amazing experience at this nail salon! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with friendly smiles and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The salon was clean, well-organized, and beautifully decorated, which made me feel instantly comfortable. My nail technician was incredibly skilled and paid great attention to detail. They took the time to understand what I wanted and made helpful suggestions without being pushy. The pedicure I received were flawless—my nails have never looked better! Lol I also appreciated the cleanliness and hygiene practices—tools were sanitized, and everything felt very professional. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re looking for a quick touch-up or a full spa day for your nails, I highly recommend this salon. I’ll definitely be coming back

==== 2-week update ==== I am SHOCKED that my nails still have not lifted or chipped at all, and it’s been 18 days since I got them done. I wash my hands a LOT, do the dishes, shower daily, and have even went to the beach and in the ocean, and they’re still in amazing condition. Seriously do yourself a favor and get your nails done by Trianna/Kha, because she works magic on your nails! ==== 1-week update ==== Nail are still in amazing condition, no lifting (photos included). ASK FOR TRIANNA/KHA for your manicures! ==== original review, the day of the manicure ==== Amazing prep work, attention to detail, wonderfully friendly people! I’ve been coming here for a little under 3 years, and I won’t go anywhere else because of how great the service is and how much care and detail they put into their work. I usually schedule appointments over the phone, but when I’ve walked in, they were always able to take me within 30 minutes. For manicures, I always ask for Trianna/Kha!!!! I usually do a full set of acrylics with gel and design, and she always amazes me with her skill! She is incredibly detailed and takes her time prepping my nails so that they last a long time. I needed to get my nails done at the last minute before leaving for a trip, and she came into the salon on her day off to work with me. We stayed way past closing time, and she still took her time to make sure the prep and the artwork was perfect and made sure that I was happy with her work. The prep and design were IMMACULATE! (See the picture and video.) For pedicures, I typically work with whoever is available. They’ve always done a great job cleaning my toes and feet and make sure to get off all the dead skin and cuticles. I’ve gotten a pedicure from Nancy in the past, and she’s always such a joy to work with.

I’ve gotten 6 acrylic sets from this salon and one overlay. The sets each lasted a month with no lifting which is amazing. I’ve never experienced that before (keep in mind this may also be due to the shorter length). It speaks volumes for the quality of the sets! I appreciate how they make recommendations for my natural nail upkeep and accommodate my requests for the style of french tip I prefer. I don’t think many nail shops can give you a nail tech finish so I’m happy I’ve found that here. I love how they can shape the nails the sharp square style that I want. I think the price is super reasonable as well. When asking for a soak off ensure your hands soak long enough to ensure comfortably when removing the acrylic. I would recommend coming here when you have a free schedule as the wait time for walk ins can vary 0-1hr and there may be an extended wait time even if you have an appointment. Overall would recommend they do great work.

Very careful and detailed. Asked a lot of questions to make sure they came out the way I wanted! My nail tech was also very friendly, and exceeded my expectations. I've been coming for 2 ish years now, and always have done a great job! I can't find all pictures but here are some.

I had a wonderful experience at Polished Nail Spa. The salon is clean, relaxing, and the staff are professional and welcoming. I tried a manicure, pedicure, waxing, and eyelash extensions, and every service was excellent. My nails look perfect, the waxing was quick and comfortable, and my lashes look natural and beautiful. Everything felt very hygienic and the prices are fair. I highly recommend Polished Nail Spa for anyone looking for quality beauty care.
