This is a small no frills kinda place. I went in on a Friday around 1 for a regular manicure and…read morepedicure. They don't take appointments on Fridays so you just gotta call to see what the wait is like or just have sheer luck with impeccable timing. I ended up with sheer luck on the impeccable timing. There were only two people working, a man and I woman, I assume they're the owners. While there were just two people working that may be because there's only two pedicure chairs and three pedicure stations. The polish selection is slim so I would suggest bringing your own color if possible. Also the pedicure chairs don't recline nor do the massage features work. The two individuals working were both nice. The woman did my pedicure while the male did my nails. Keep in mind I got a basic manicure and pedicure so I wasn't requiring much. I was satisfied with the job done and would consider going back. Just be careful with your timing on a Friday, you could be in for a long wait.

I had gotten long dipped nails a week ago from another place and it was just too impractical to keep. I wanted them removed and do shellac instead but they don't do shellac so I settled for gel. My technician suggested I just do an overlay and get the tips cut. He was meticulous and careful and I am so happy that I didn't have to get a new gel set! In total, the overlay was only $25. Well worth it! I will be back. Tip: since there is only two technicians, highly suggest appointments. I came at a good time as when I left, two people were already waiting.

I was also offered water much earlier during this visit, and my nail tech was meticulous. The final result? I LOVE my nails! But here we go again with the TIME. The fill-in took almost TWO HOURS. Why are we here this long for a fill-in?! I came for a fill-in, not a residency! Taking your time and being meticulous is one thing (and I appreciate that) but almost two hours for this service is just too much. The quality could still be better as well. I'll give credit where it's due because there have been improvements, and I really do like my nails. But I already know the rule when coming here: clear the calendar, bring some patience, and DO NOT come when you're in a rush.

I requested her and was told she's on "vacation." The person on the phone suggested "Pin" so I made an appointment with her. I show up the next day on time for my appointment. Pin was busy with someone else. They told me to have a seat at the pedicure bowl. I wasn't given a wait time. I sat there soaking my feet for at least 30 minutes before Pin was finally available. I understand taking walk-ins but why allow appointments?! Someone came in right after me and she was told a 30 minute wait. She literally was siting at the pedicure bowl for an hour. Pin did a great job but the color selection is very limited. I may give her another chance but I don't know if I'll be in a hurry to come back!

I am so surprised at how talented they are when it comes to hand painting details on the nails. They give you the best advice, not to use stickers and they'll do it themselves.

Amazing aesthetic design, and the services offered are great and reasonably priced!

I got a regular mani/ pedi. The young girl was nice but she rushed through the pedi, didn't scrape all the dead skin. I had to come home and use my electric pedi machine. Total was $60.

I've been going to Hello Nail Bar for a little over a year. I've always had great service, until…read morethis last visit. My nail tech left, so I tried other techs- no one in particular, just whoever was available. Part of my last service was a gel manicure with cat eye polish. I knew before I she was finished that the polish would look grown out within the week because she didn't get close enough to the cuticle. I told her to get closer to the cuticle; she slapped my hand, giggled and continued the exact same way. Now, a week later, it looks like I'm two weeks overdue for a manicure. My suggestion is to look at the progress after the first nail and stand firm on a redo. I don't want to mention the person because I should have insisted that she fix them before I left the salon.

In fact, I call him a genius because no matter what vision I bring in, whether it's a color, a style, or just a general idea, he somehow takes it to the next level and gets me exactly where I want to be. For my latest appointment, I wanted a rich, vibrant color, and he gave me a cat-eye look that I am absolutely in love with the results. The depth, shine, and dimension are stunning. The photos don't even fully capture how beautiful they look in person. The finish is flawless, and the attention to detail is unmatched. What I appreciate most is Vincent's creativity and willingness to collaborate. He listens, offers suggestions, and consistently delivers something unique and beautiful. If you're looking for innovation, quality, and someone who truly cares about their craft, Polish Nails is the place to go. Thank you, Vincent, for another set that has me staring at my nails all day long.

I just moved here and have been looking for a new nail place. I've tried a couple, and I fell in…read morelove with one, only for the nail tech I loved there to move to Texas after 2 appointments.‍ For the review: I'll start with the fact that the guy who appears to be the owner is absolutely lovely. I called to inquire about aura nails; I never do designs but my birthday is in a few days and I wanted a little extra something to feel fabulous. It's been an absolutely insane week and I rescheduled here twice. He was very accommodating and kind about my scheduling needs. Now, the less positive part: ***please note that I am only doing this review for the folks like me who take reviews really seriously and are particular about beauty-related things, specifically, in this case, nails. I have no desire to trash this place, because then were nice.*** That said, I was told that they could do the nails I wanted and I was excited based on the photos in their Yelp page. I felt really confident that they could do something I would absolutely love, specifically because their Yelp page says they do nail art and design, and whenever a salon does nail art and design, their basic nail techniques and everything else are typically great. Unfortunately that is not the experience I had today. I got an incredibly mid pedicure that actually looks 2 weeks old as I'm walking out of the salon right now. (Before leaving I told them that I did not like it, but it was late and I had to go and I could tell they were tired, which I didn't think would help my issue.) On my way out the gentleman who did my manicure (he only did my hands, not feet) told me to come back the next day to have it redone. The problem is that I don't think I have time to go back tomorrow, and frankly, I shouldn't have to. I'm sorely disappointed in a $70 pedicure looking like I did it myself. My other major issue is the color selection. I know not everybody is as maniacal about color as I am, so eat the fish and spit out the bones here. If you are pretty routine or have a basic range of colors that you're willing to try, you probably will not have an issue. I, however, am a brand designer/graphic designer and happen to be very color-sensitive. I always go to nail salons that have robust color selections because my eye can spot a vast difference between two pinks that might be right next to each other on the display. Not every color looks good on everyone's skintone, and I like what I like. It was SO challenging to find a color here that I liked and honestly I was just looking for a pink from a Pinterest photo. The sample nails that they gave me to choose from were inside of a plastic container, which 1. Dulled the color 2. Put the nails under a glare from the lights so you couldn't really see them The colors also just weren't great. It felt like a very old-fashioned selection of dip colors. When I actually did choose a color (one I only liked a little) and she went to put it on my feet, it turned out to be a COMPLETELY different color, and I'm talking maybe 20 shades different than the color that I chose and a totally different undertone. I didn't want to belabor the point because she had another customer she was rushing to try to get to that seemed to be a regular customer of hers and I didn't want to take up more of her time. But I'm really disappointed because I came here with a vision, wanting something very specific and I left with a manicure and a pedicure I wish I just had not even gotten. Honestly, my nails looked way better when I came in than when I left, which is saying a lot because both my hands and feet were nearly 3 weeks old. The only reason I didn't go back to who did them was because i was seeking nail design, and I ended up leaving with no nail design at all anyway! I feel like I flushed $140 down the drain, especially bc I will have to have this all fixed. In summary, lots of people seem to love this salon, so although I really had a two-star experience, I gave them three, because I truly think this is a matter of just not being a fit for me. Every place isn't for everyone. If you're pretty easy like Sunday morning with your nails, you should likely just ignore this. But if you are also particular about your nails like me, let this be a forewarning that this may not be the experience you're seeking. Stay beautiful, guys.
