Amy is amazing. I got my nails done somewhere else with a party and had to go back Amy a week later for a new set.

Beautiful nail salon! Diana is absolutely the best!!!! Everyone there is super professional The best in Elk Grove for sure

Comfy pedicures

I've been coming here for years and I love this place and the staff. They have recently renovated and it looks wonderful. I've never had an issue with a lack of communication or fulfilling my expectations. I often communicate how I would like my toes trimmed or how short I want my nails and I've never left disappointed. The atmosphere is relaxing on the days that I wish to remain quiet and pleasant when I feel like having conversations. I'm pleased with the cleanliness and will continue to enjoy the service here.

Polished is a classy salon with a pleasing aesthetic. Every technician I have seen has done quality work, even for a walk-in appointment. They have so many options for polish and a wide selection specially polishes. You can't go wrong with a manicure or pedicure at Polished

She cut my toe nails waayyyy too low. Ouch.

So. . .it was my daughter's birthday yesterday and she decided she wanted her, her sister and her cousin to get a pedicure together. I chose this location because I liked the setup of the seating for pedicures. She was super excited when she walked in but was thrown off because we weren't greeted upon entry. My daughter walked up to one of the ladies who worked there and told her (as I instructed) that we had an appointment. She was seemingly ignored so I spoke up a bit to get their attention so she could repeat herself. We chose our colors and were told we could sit to get started. I sat my daughters and niece first and explained it was my daughter's birthday, but for some reason, I looked up and everyone was being serviced except for my daughter. I could see she was disappointed so I had to instruct the ladies to service the young girls first since this was their experience as I explained earlier. We began to enjoy ourselves, talking and taking pictures when I felt that my big toe was cut too low. I made the technician aware but her demeanor showed to be a bit dismissive. As she started to file my big toe, it felt like she was scraping my skin (which was painful), again, I let her know she cut my nail way too low and she didn't respond. As she continued, she hurt me yet again and I responded with an "ouch". . .nothing. My daughter is enjoying herself so I let it be. My daughters and nieces definitely enjoyed their experience. I believe my sister who joined us did as well. I personally wasn't that pleased because my toe being cut extremely low exposing my skin and the lack of acknowledgment was disappointing. I ended up having to put a band-aid over my toe because it brushing up against anything is painful. My other toe is cut very low as well but thank goodness, not low enough to hurt. The establishment was very clean, the setup is very nice and the employees were nice enough. My one suggestion would be to let them know, before they start cutting, how low you'd like your toes cut because she either didn't care or she was oblivious to just how low she cut my toe nails.

I got a pedicure here on a Sunday. And as it was my first time at this salon, I took inventory of the cleanliness, the demeanor of the staff, as well as the ambiance. Needless to say, I loved it so much that I booked for a full set a few days later. I was met by Tiffany when I walked in. I showed her a photo of my nail inspiration and asked her if she could do mine similar to that. She not only replicated it, but my nails came out even better than the photo I'd shown her. She is quick, meticulous, talented, creative, and pays extra attention to the details. If you're looking for a calm and serene atmosphere, with people who make their clients a priority, this is the place. It is the absolute epitome of zen.

Two cuts which hurt like hell I had to pull my foot away.

I didn't think this day would come but here we are. I went in yesterday with a group and all wanted regular polish pedis. We felt unwelcome for the most part. The technicians kept being pushy on getting gel polish multiple times which had never happened in all the years I've been here. My tech was the last to sit and get to work on me. No hello no greeting just straight to the question "gel??" By this time I was annoyed and said NO! You know when you feel people are talking about you ,we felt it. When my tech was scrubbing my feet with the scrubber she cut my big toe in two places. I didn't get her name because again she didn't even introduce herself she was new for sure, I only recognized Kay who was working on my cousin next to me. No apology just paused and kept going. I loved polished bar and had been coming here for years thinking I finally found a great shop. All the nail techs I liked are gone. Except Kay, two stars for her because she's kind and accommodating. I'm afraid my patronage here is over after this experience. I paid $37 (tip included)for a basic regular polish pedicure.

I've come twice for pedicures and I really recommend this place! They also take appointments and I really recommend placing one, especially if you and a friend are both getting pedicures. The interior is nicely decorated I appreciate that as a customer. The ladies and gentlemen who perform the pedicures are very professional. They do a great job trimming your nails and making them very uniform and neat. The pedicure services are also so relaxing! They do a lot of massaging and use a variety of products (sugar scrubs, skin creams, hot rocks, hot towels, etc) that feel great on the skin. I am glad to have found a nicely decorated and high quality pedicure spot!

I go to Alex-he is amazing!!! I luv his work. Top Notch-can't vouch for the others but Alex is damm good!! I also like the setup of the shop. The owner is very accommodating

Cecilia A.

Not worth the price in my opinion. The work is messy and over priced. A 3 day set looks like 2 week old set. Over priced for the quality. Recommend looking elsewhere.

Kathi P.

I love this place! Super clean and the staff is amazing. Alex, the nail tech is an artist and so gentle. It's actually fun to have my nails done again! I can't recommend Alex enough. The guy is so good, and very professional!! I like classy and subtle, but he can do some crazy stuff! Check out his instagram!! Alex_pn10

Perfect for the sunny weather!
Caitlin H.

Tiffany was so nice! Took the pic I wanted, made it a reality and then some by adding these flowers. I wouldn't have even THOUGHT of that. Thank you Tiffany, I'll be calling you in like 2-2.5 weeks :)

Asked for natural and short lashes. Perfect! Thank you Kayla!

I went here Mother's Day Weekend on a Saturday. This was my first time patronizing this location…read moreand I will say that it is an experience I will not forget anytime soon. I called the day before to schedule an appointment and the guy who answered the phone was very professional, took my name and helped me work out a time that was best for me and my mother to come in the next day. The next day when I arrived, we were quickly ushered to sit in our chairs (for a pedicure) and even given water as we were able to enjoy the massage chairs. The staff doing our pedicures were very friendly and attentive to doing exactly what we requested. The aesthetics of this shop is very pleasing as the shop itself is clean, neat and orderly. They also have a myriad of options for nail polish colors. I ended up selecting a gel nail polish, which at the time of writing this review, a month later, is still intact on my toe nails. (I know - I need another pedicure soon. lol) I will say the price was a little bit costly compared to other places I have been, however, that may be because we selected one of the highest packages. Either way, my mother enjoyed the shop and even upon leaving the guy at the register, welcomed us to come back by giving us a 10% off our next service coupon. I will say due to the friendly staff, the clean environment and all of the safety protocols that they take to make sure that you get a clean experience, I would definitely visit the shop again. It's definitely worth the visit.

First time pedicure, making me into a long time customer…read more Look I have never been one to get a pedicure and honestly that is my lost for not getting one until now. I thought taking care of my feet wasn't a manly thing but that crazy thought process has prevented me from getting a pedicure until now. I am glad to be enlightened! Location: Off of Bond and Elk Grove Florin. It is not the biggest parking lot but it is generally isn't that busy. The interior is nice, clean and spacious. Very nail salon vibey but I like that Service: Staff was extremely friendly. The owners are very friendly and talkative. Really enjoyed the staff as they made me feel like long time customers Defintely worth checking out. Service was quick and happy with the results!

Liam's attention to detail is unmatched. My bridal nails & exactly what I asked for. The cost was…read moremore than reasonable for 3hrs of service (full set & gel pedicure).

I think, like any nail shop, it can be hit or miss if you're not familiar with who does good work…read more I came here when they first opened and had an okay experience. My nails and feet were done pretty well, but they do seem to push Gel X and gel services even if that's not necessarily what you went in for. My most recent visit has me thinking about trying other nail shops. My bill was around $300 for myself and my daughter, and unfortunately, I didn't feel like we received $300 worth of services. We made appointments but when we arrived still waited about 10 minutes. The lady who did my pedicure, Linda, was very nice and sweet, but I was disappointed with the service, especially for a $77 pedicure. She completely skipped the massage on my right leg, barely scrubbed my feet for a couple of minutes, and didn't really push back or clean up my cuticles. My feet still felt rough afterward, and the polish was left far from my cuticles. They honestly looked like they had been done weeks ago, even though the picture was taken the same day. The steamer was also mostly pointed away from my legs or toward her, so I barely felt it. The guy who did my nails, Liam, actually did a pretty good job. He took his time and was very thorough, so I was happy with my nails. Unfortunately, my daughter's experience was not as good. The design and color were not what she asked for. She wanted black, but they came out looking brown because only one coat was applied over a brown color. She was also talked into getting Gel X when a powder ombré would have been closer to what she originally wanted. Overall, I think there are some good technicians here, but it really depends on who you get. For what we paid, I expected a much better overall experience, so we'll probably be trying some other nail shops next time.
