I'm now a regular

by bjs2009 at Citysearch

I've gotten manicures in many other places and this is the first place I have ever returned to. The staff is well-trained, efficient, pleasant. If you want to carry on a conversation while you are being worked on, the staff is very friendly - if you want a private, relaxing experience (alone time) then the staff will accomodate. They take their cue from the customer, which I think is excellent training! My mani always lasts at least a week with no chipping, my pedi lasts many weeks. Because they are so good, they are very busy, but have always accomodated me in a very timely manner regardless of whether I just stop in and ask what time I can be seen or whether I call in advance and schedule a time. I feel very strongly that the cooperative and pleasant attitude one walks in with is the attitude that will be returned to you at Polished. I am now a regular bi-weekly customer if I have the time, monthly if I get too busy.

• Pros: Clean, friendly, knowledgeable
• Cons: Would prefer chairs to bench

Great ambiance

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
