LOVED IT!!!

by Georgiagirlz at Citysearch

I just had a spa party last evening at Polished and I have to say that I had the best time ever! It was for my 30th birthday and the nail techs did a great job and were so nice and funny! The owner was incredibly accommodating and gracious as we had them working until 10pm and no one even seem to mind at all...Ladies if you and your girls want to get together and do something fun and relaxing, definitely go to Polished!!!

Upscale Nail SPA? NOT!!!

by customerrsat at Citysearch

Well, where do i begin. let me start off by saying the decor is beautiful, thats what the one star is for. This was my first time here and a friend reccomended polished to me she told me to ask for a technician by the name of Candice who they said would be there when i scheduled my appointment and wasnt there when i got there. someone else performed my services, which to me, were long and drawn out... not relaxing< more like aggravating because two other people were started after me and the still left more than a half hour before i did. i was there for two hours, only to get a basic manicure, and a basic pedicure ($40). it seemed like the technician didnt know what she was doing. very unorganized. Between the phone ringing and the nail tech taking forever to do a simple pedicure and manicure, i was uneasy and on edge by the time i left. on top of the fact that i could have done a better job myself. OH YEAH, im not exactly sure if this was the owner, but the person who seemed to be in charge was rude and only spoke to i guess frequent clientel (because she knew them by name), She never even asked me if i enjoyed my services . ive been much happier at less prettier places. take it from me, if you wanna splurge on a mani pedi, do it at a REAL spa, because this is merely your everyday nail shop in disguise. Totally NOT worth it.

• Pros: Very pretty
• Cons: unskilled nail techs, rude management

Great ambiance

by tru2myself at Citysearch

I was given a gift certificate for a mani/pedi to Polished and decided to finally see what this place was all about. Upon walking into the salon I was pleasantly surprised. It is very pleasing to the eye. It would be a great place for a girl's day celebration. Fortunately, I called ahead to find out if they took walk-ins, and found out that I had to make an appointment. I was told the services I received would take about an hour and a half and they were right on target. "Pinkie" performed both my mani and pedi and I loved it and her service. Let's see how long it lasts. This is a great place to get your nails serviced if you live in the area and plan your schedule in advance. The only negative experience I had was when the owner walked in. She rarely smiled ( in fact almost looked upset) the entire time, and did not greet me. She only spoke to what I assume were "regular" customers. I've decided that I will only return for special occasions. There's no need to pay THAT MUCH for a mani/pedi on a regular basis.

• Pros: atmosphere
• Cons: owner's attitude

Perfection is the name of the game at Polished

by TinaMorris at Citysearch

OMG...perfection is all that I can say. They are the epitomy of sanitation at Polished. This was the most relaxing experience that I have had while getting manicure and pedicure ever. For those who said that they didn't have a good experience you should give them a second chance because they fantastic or speak with the owner.

• Pros: Epitomy of sanitation
• Cons: none

Polished

by urreview at Citysearch

Atmosphere was very cute and thought it would be a great place to have girls' night - they have a special Martini Night on Thurs. They weren't very professional from appt. setting to greeting upon arrival. When I got there I had to wait and they did not offer me anything to sip on while I waited, even after they told me to come a little early and have a cocktail. I had a manicure and it wasn't very good. She asked if I wanted my nails cut and I said a little and she cut them super short. They don't have nail dryers, just small little fans. No good - my polish chipped off in 3 days. My cuticles are all peeling back and my hands look awful. I wouldn't suggeest this place to anyone.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Bad service & Manicures

Terrible Service

by Atlantagrl at Citysearch

A friend recommended that a group of us for a wedding party go to Polished for pedicures. We made appointments for 4 people. When we got there we made us wait 20 minutes because the employees had not arrived yet. When they finally sat us, they only had 3 people working on us. The fourth person in our party had to wait while the woman doing my pedicure rushed through it in 20 minutes to then work on my friend's feet. When my sister sat in the chair, a sharp plastic piece in the tub cut her leg about 4 inches and she started bleeding into the water. They merely drained out the water and glued down the plastic piece in the tub...never apologizing. They charged her for her pedicure and a mandatory 20% tip on top of that! They had a fourth employee working that day, but she was working on another person that came in after us. They then had the nerve to charge all of us a mandatory 20% gratuity for a 20 minute pedicure! Although it appears to be really trendy by its website and the salon's decor, the service is terrible, the people were rude, and I've had MUCH better pedicures in Atlanta/Vinings for a cheaper price. I recommend that you go some place else!

• Cons: Rude service, did not have spa tubs, rushed pedicures, expensive

Not worth the money...Polished Beauty lounge

by Colombo1 at Citysearch

This place was terrible! The atmosphere is great but the service is far below standards. The bowls are odd shaped and didn?t have enough room. The employees are not friendly and kept on rushing me the entire time. I have seen and used other nail spas that are equally nice in presentation but also better in service. I care more about what I get for my money?not about the wall decor!

• Pros: Atmosphere
• Cons: everything else
