Acrylics and Gel Nail polish
Emily F.

Linda did an amazing job on my nails she did a full set of acrylics and the gel nail polish on top I absolutely love them!!

Just went here to get a fill and get my daughter a gel manicure. Normally the service is outstanding and we were looking forward to this. Neither the man that did her manicure or the girl that did mine spoke a word to either of us, it was very awkward, not even friendly. The girl continued to burn my nails from the friction of drilling to hard. I do not have sensitive hands. A few times she glanced up at me as if she knew she was drilling to hard and wanted to see if I noticed but never did she ease up or apologize. Instead of this being a pampering relaxing experience on my day off I was on the edge of my seat waiting for her to stop drilling. She was rough filing and even dusting the dust off my nails. I opted for gel polish and had it all over my finger tips on several nails. It looked as if I painted them myself. I'm normally a huge tipper having waited tables but I gave a small tip for them to split because of our awful experience. I did take picture of the polish that's all over my fingers if I'm able to up load them to this review I will. We will never go back.

Outstanding! My daughter and I decided to visit for a much needed Mani and pedi! We received incredible service and they carry my favorite luxury products Light Concept Nails, LCN, from Europe. I was serviced by HI, the owner and my daughter saw his wife and collectively this is one of the few salons in my many travels across the world that provides keen attention to detail, first class service and quite reasonable rates! If your travels ever take you to Dayton, Ohio make sure you get your services here! LCN is very difficult to apply correctly and I'm elated to have found Essence salon!

The middle and ring finger were CLEARLY Crooked

DO NOT GO HERE!!! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!! Stay clear away from this place if you don't want to be yelled at for simply asking for the "professional" to fix the service that YOU, the customer, is paying your hard-earned money for. I entered this place to get a simple full set. It was only two people working, a woman and a male. Both were rude but the male got BELLIGERENT with me when I calmly and nicely asked for him to fix the shape of my clearly crooked nails. He started yelling and telling me that my nail bed was crooked & that's why it looked that way. I remained calm and explained to him that I get my nails done every two weeks and they have never been this blatantly crooked. He started YELLING, throwing up his hands, and getting visibly upset with me and didn't want to finish my nails. I asked the lady, the only other left person working, to finish them and she informed me it would be another 45min until she finished her customer. She THEN went on to side with him, saying that I should've told him it was crooked before he put the acrylic on. Basically blaming me for his poor work. Excuse me??!!! REGARDLESS of the one layer of acrylic he placed on, the nail could've been reshaped. That's all I asked for. Instead I left with half "done" nails and had to go to another nail shop to get them finished. I went over to Lazio Nails to get my nails fixed/done. I didn't even tell the lady the details when I arrived to the new spot. SHE pointed out to me that my nails were crooked and that the nails on my right hand were longer than the ones on the left. SHE was telling me how horrible of a job the last person had done. THEN i explained to her what happened and she laughed stating "you didn't even tell me and I noticed it. Why couldn't he see it"?! Which was my point exactly. Save yourself the hassle and DO NOT GO HERE

Broken nail, lifting nails

I will NEVER COME BACK. I got a full set on December 31st and it's only been 4 days. I have one nail missing && then I also have other nails lifting. On the nail that's missing 4 of my rhinestones are gone. Then they press their customers to take out cash when they have a card machine, just so they don't have to print out a receipt. I want a refund ASAP!!

Lida is amazing!! So great to talk to and so nice! She did an amazing job! 10/10 recommend

Awesome experience! Done in a great amount of time! Lida is amazing and I will definitely be back! I love my nails today:) I got SNS dip polish and it was done great!

Dayton area friends run, don't walk, to Jessica's Totally Polished Spa!…read more I had a spa pedicure and OPI permanent polish manicure today and can't say one bad thing about my experience. From the second I walked in to her earth-toned, serene corner salon I was treated as a VIP even though I was a first-time client. She was ready for my appointment on time (actually a little early) and invited me in to sit on the oversized recliner chair and make myself comfortable. I thought it was a bit strange because I was wondering where the water tub was for me to soak my feet. She noticed my confusion and explained that she does waterless pedicures for numerous reasons but one main reason is it's more sanitary than using water tubs...she also uses an actual autoclave on all her metal instruments every evening so if you're into clean salons look no further! But on to the good stuff...the pedicure was PURE BLISS and the conversation was equally as enjoyable. As she switched from foot to foot she wrapped my feet in hot towels and a warming boot that kept my tootsies warm and softened my feet and cuticles. The foot file she used on the bottoms of my feet was very gentle and didn't bother me one bit...I usually cringe at this part of the service because it's painful or tickles to the point I can barely take it. As for the massage...it was out of this world!!! She dimmed the lights, had me recline to chair (which also vibrates and warms -- but not in a painful way like a lot of the ones I've used in other nail salons) and I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for a few minutes. AWESOME! After the pedi I tried out the new OPI permanent polish. I'm not really a manicure person but thought what the heck. She told me she guarantees her work with this type of polish for two weeks so if anything chips or whatever she'd fix them for free. How about that for customer service?!? OK so wow, this is long but I am just so thrilled to have found Jessica I wanted to make sure to spread the good word. Get your tushes to Totally Polished, people!!! P.S. As I was preparing to pay we had a slight miscommunication where she had written down I scheduled a Spa Pedi though I only scheduled a regular (difference of $10). I didn't really care because WOW the Spa Pedi was insane...but as I was writing this review I actually got a call from Jessica and she apologized right away because she had checked her book and realized it was her mistake that she had given me the more expensive service on accident. She offered to make it up to me by refunding the money or upgrading my next pedi!! Seriously, who does that...AWESOME! Can't wait to see her again...https://www.vagaro.com/TotallyPolished

I started going to Jessica early last year and have had full eyelash extensions done, gel nails and…read morethe OPI permanent nail polish done. Jessica is a sweetheart and she listens. When I felt like my nails needed a break from the gel sets, she encouraged me to try the OPI permanent polish, which I have found I love. I've gone between gel nails and the permanent polish several times and she works with me every time I change my mind! I've brought my tween daughter in for a manicure and Jessica was gentle with her and attentive. I haven't tried a pedicure yet, but given the service and attention to detail she has given me over the past almost year and a half, I can't imagine it would be anything less than top notch!
