the technician had great attention to detail. newly renovated and clean! Great place.

This is my favorite nail place in Milwaukee! Mea is THE BEST she is the only person to ever get my nails to last longer than a week. The last 3 times I've gone they recommended soft gel and they've lasted over 4 weeks! They made my natural nails strong, long, and healthy! They usually have some fun gift or raffle prize when you leave and the new renovations look so good! Also their choice in tv is chefs kiss. I tried literally everywhere else near Brady St before finding Polished and once Mea did my nails I have consistently come back. Reasonable prices, quick but detailed service, flexible hours, great location and it gives "we're a family" vibes. read more

Love my nails every time! Mea is great! Decor is awesome and clean, but also cozy. I highly recommend!

it was my first time coming here, I was glad they were able to fit a group of 5 and they give complimentary snacks and drinks. It's a pleasant experience. read more

I had the Milk and Honey pedicure. Talk about being pampered! And they used real honey and milk to massage my legs and feet. Also real oranges for my skin. The interior is bright and clean. All the techs are very friendly. We had wonderful conversations. My husband had the same service. He may have gotten in a little nap too. . Will be back whenever I'm in Milwaukee! read more

I absolutely love coming to Polished Nail Bar! Leo does a consistently fabulous job every single time. He's incredibly talented, efficient, and fast, but never sacrifices quality. My nails always look flawless, and I'm in and out without ever feeling rushed. Leo truly knows what he's doing, and it shows in his work. Mimi is also wonderful and incredibly detail-oriented--she does beautiful work as well. The vibe at Polished Nail Bar is just right too--clean, fresh, and new, but not overly bougie or pretentious. It's comfortable and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend! read more

Really friendly experience. My manicurist Mimi did an outstanding job. I will definitely be back.

LOVE CHRIS! my service today was very clean, quick, nice pedicure. The water was great and they had lots of candy

Jackie did a GREAT JOB on my pedicure! She was very gentle & careful, as I have leg issues. We had a nice conversation & she's made me feel at ease. It was a very nice atmosphere in the salon. It's Beautiful in there! read more

Such a great experience from start to finish. The staff was welcoming, the salon was spotless, and my nails turned out exactly how I wanted. Super impressed with the quality and care! read more

I was originally recommended this salon by one of my friends in the area when I moved to Milwaukee a few years ago. I liked it a lot at first as I only had issues with a single technician in the salon. However, they are pretty overprices for the quality they deliver compared to other salons in the area. The final time I went to this salon at this point about 6 months ago. After I requested ombre nails from a technician, it was clear that I spent $75 on a service that she did not know how to perform. I was really upset and disappointed and paid her because I had known her for 2 years and she had been doing my nails every 2-3 weeks for that time. However, I was frustrated with the exceedingly low quality of my manicure and never went back and switched to Bisou nails instead. It simply feels like they are not able to do many designs or anything more than a very simple manicure. The pedicures in general are nice though. read more

I am 50/50 on this salon. Sheena did an amazing job on my pedicure & manicure. Probably one of the best dip manicures I have ever gotten - not thick at all & very even (closer to a gel style). Sheena even did cuticle care which I have never had done with a dip manicure & something that always bothers me - will 1000% book with her again. The staff here are also very kind and attentive. My two complaints are the salon itself and the pedicure service. I did not feel that the tools used were sanitary which is a turn off for me. Secondly, my pedicure felt rushed & the chairs were not the best. My boyfriend went with me to get his first pedicure done & his nail tech barely scrubbed his feet (and I know he needs it). End of the day, id go here again if I needed a quick mani pedi but not if I wanted a true nail salon experience. read more

I was looking at my nicely painted toes this morning and realized that Polished Nail Bar deserves an extra thank you from me! My mom and I went for pedicures almost three weeks ago, ahead of our trip to Florida. Now I'm really not one to get manis/pedis often because they never seem to last long enough to be worth it. However (!!!) now thinking back, I spent a week on the beach in sand, and plenty of time in chlorine pools, and this pedicure is still perfectly intact. Truly has never happened to me before. PLUS, it's regular polish, not the gel "no chip" that costs an additional $20. So thanks for making me feel like a pedicure was worth it, Polished! Though this nail bar is definitely on the pricier end in my opinion, it'll probably be my go-to for occasions going forward. Bright, clean, friendly customer service, and conveniently located down the street from where I live. read more

I went to nail bar mke and had a horrible experience they did not give me what I wanted. I contacted polished with an image of what I actually wanted and they took me in within 24 hours. They literally laughed at the job that nail bar mke did. Brenda hooked me up with the cutest nails exactly like the photo that I asked for. I am so happy I had graduation photos the next day and she did me right go talk to Brenda at polished nail bar she's the best. read more

I have been a client of this nail salon for 6 years and they always do a great job. Online scheduling and being able to request your nail technician are great options. The vibe is great and relaxing. Love this place! read more

I am absolutely blown away that this place has so few negative reviews. I paid for the spa pedicure. It was ...meh. Not worth the money. But I could not believe, as soon as I was done my nail tech Nancy just said "so do you wanna dry" um yes...I've never been somewhere where you don't dry your toes? (This is regular polish) After twenty minutes of sitting and air drying my toes, I finally asked someone hello is there a fan in here? The tech pointed to a TINY desk fan on the ground that was being used already by a customer. That's it. That's all they had in the entire store and it wasn't even offered to me. I am appalled. Mediocre experience that won't even last because they won't dry your nails! I'm just blow my away read more

I came in to town for a funeral and needed to get my nails done ASAP. Nan was my tech and she was amazing! Very professional and kind and my nails looked very nice even though I'm a weirdo who prefers a traditional manicure to all the fancy stuff. The location felt safe and the facilities were clean and comfortable. I'm definitely coming back next time I visit MKE! read more

Paid $75 for this dip manicure and this is under 2 weeks ago.... Insane price to begin with let alone for it to only last 1 day before it chipped for the first time. So frustrating. Also- if it says free soak off if you get the same service but that is not true for dip- that should be specified. Would have done it myself if i knew. My boyfriend came w me and got a mani pedi and it only took 25 minutes and his feet still felt like sandpaper after.. read more

I booked 4 pedicures for the same time on a Sunday. Luckily, they were able to accommodate all 4 at the same time. Overall, the pedicure was enjoyable. $45 seemed pricier for their standard pedicure, but it can cost $40 if you pay in cash. The tech was friendly, and the massage was nice and you are offered a complimentary beverage. One of the massage chairs didn't work, and but the space seemed clean and well-maintained. It definitely beats out other nails places! read more

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a place to get manicure and pedicure done based on the reviews on Yelp. Polished Nail Bar did not disappoint. Judy did an excellent job! I had both the signature mani and pedi. Very happy! I'll be back! I was able to book an online appointment. There is onsite free parking. read more

Went with a friend for a pedi Saturday. She raves about how great they were although I was hesitant. I got the deluxe spa pedi which was $60. This is lore than double what I usually pay. Fine with me, It's a treat. The pedicure seemed a bit rushed and the only difference between here and my usual place is the hot towel and paraffin . The girl who did my pedi didn't even allow the paraffin to cool completely. I was fine with the service but less than impressed for the price. That evening when I showered I noticed that one of my toes was only painted half way and only has one coat of color polish and no top coat! Needless to say I will not be return Update*** I ended up with a fungus that cost me $263 in medical bills and medicine! read more

I've been coming here around a year and I feel like the work is inconsistent. Sometimes my nails look great and sometimes they really aren't shaped well and basically look like I could've done them myself. The prices are too high for such spotty work in my opinion. read more

Polished Nail Bar - Don't feel like this was worth $40 - Nail Salons Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

They only have one nail tech that can do dip manicures, so my friend & i were there for an hour & a half. A week later, half of my nails have fallen off. Dip usually lasts about 3 weeks. Aside from that, they were nice & everything was clean. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon with a friend, we were told the wait would be "20 minutes," when and we asked. The wait ended up being around an hour or so. (Tip: definitely schedule an appointment in advance!) The lady who was at the front, asked when we walked in if we were scheduled ahead of time. Also, my nail stylist had told me their busiest days are Thurs-Sat. I got the $40 "no chip" manicure. It has a 14+ day guarantee. The price is the average, for the area...I looked at a few other salons, and it is comparable. However, usually I end up spending $30 for the same type of service. These are downtown prices. My friend had a pedicure, and got the design free! The lady who did hers, name is Carly. Attached are pictures of both of our services. read more

First time here and had a great experience! Really easy to call and get an appointment the day before, but seemed like it would be just as easy to walk in. Great prices!! They're running a spring special right now - $30 for a gel manicure- but it's normally only $40 which seems super reasonable to me. Big, clean, well lit and open inside. Lots of room for both manis and pedis. The staff were super friendly. Rosa did my nails and she was excellent! Fast, clean and professional. She helped me pick a great color and I really appreciate the work she did. Will be making this my go-to place to get my nails done! read more

I came in and got a full dip set with tips and 3 nails completely lifted off my nail bed in a matter of days and 2 additional nails began lifting around the perimeter after one week. I was told that no one would be able to complete my repairs and fill that day and that I would have to come back during the work week to get a full set with only a 20% discount ($8 discount). This is poor customer service. The lady working the desk did not show any regard how this lack of customer service left me feeling. The nail tech that did my nails the week prior took a look at my hands and told me that my nail beds were naturally too oily for dip powder and that she should have buffed my nails with the drip instead of doing it with the hand buffer block. She also stressed she didn't have enough time to fix all the issues so she couldn't do my nails today. I found all of this completely unprofessional and unfair. Isn't the professional responsible for making the best decision for the customer based on the fact they are supposed to be the skill professional. I assumed that since I just got my nails done and since I spent so much money that I would get great customer service; boy was I wrong. I had just came in the week prior with my family of three and we all got pedicures and manicures. Despite the fact that this location is not aesthetically as nice as it used to be and the actual services were a bit sub par (pedicure bowls & sinks looked worn & techs were a bit inexperienced, timid and my nail tech worked really slow on some of the most basic phase of my full set); we still went through with the appointment because we had no room in our schedules to cancel these appointment because we were going out of town. Needless to say we spent close to $300 plus we even generously tipped every nail tech that serviced us. Did all of that compromising initially only to come back to be even worst service. Don't go here if you value efficiency, good quality workmanship, excellent customer. read more

The techs are amazing and the owner/manager is far from that. Continues to charge extra and fails to notice "online appointments" and acts as if she's doing you a favor by getting you in but the only way to book is via Verago aka online booking. Hoping ownership doesn't take money from techs because they are the reason this place is open. read more

I have been here quite a few times to get my nails done and have enjoyed their services. They do a good job with your nails! I have seen others get a lot of beautiful nail art done so I am sure service provides are uber talented. In the past, I have had to wait quite a bit (sometimes as much as 30 mins) despite having an appointment which was kind of disappointing. I think I have spent a lot of time waiting here, so not sure if the scheduling system is up to date or overbooking happens at times. They also have other services like eyebrow threading which is great. It's on the expensive side unless you have a Groupon and the lady does an excellent job! Overall their services are great and if you don't mind the waiting, it's a nice place to be to pamper yourself :) read more

Poor service front the desk staff. Waited 15-20 minutes and watched staff talking to themselves, when no other patrons were present. Which was awkward... The tech was nice, but disappeared throughout my mani/ pedi. Mani lasted 1 day, before multiple nails starting chipping. read more

Polished is in a convenient area. The staff is kind, the inside is really nicely done! You can also bring drinks and snacks if you are with other friends. I don't really love it here, though. The people doing my nails just don't seem that good. By good, I want a nice job on my nails by someone who appears to have confidence in what they're doing and to get in and out in a reasonable amount of time. I don't mean fast, I don't think that fair, but just reasonable amount of time. Last time I went here the young lady doing my nails literally took hours. Nails only! Gel style. I just didn't feel like she was very good, confident or experienced at what she does. I've had much better experiences elsewhere. But, it is an option if I am having trouble getting in other place and their hours are better. They do have a coupon at the front desk, but the caveat is you have to pay with cash. Which who rarely walks around with a ton of cash anymore? So, I'd have a separate thing to remember to do. read more

So bummed - got my nails done a day before I was supposed to leave for Thailand and splurged for the no chip to ensure they'd last the week of vacation. The polish was put on sloppy and thick, covering my cuticles in some areas. When I left, it still felt tacky. Three days into my trip and all the nails started to peel. By day 4, almost all polish had pulled off. It was a complete waste of money. I've come to this salon other times and it's been ok, but I'm afraid this might have been my final visit. read more
