im actually getting a pedicure here right now! a little pricey but I am someone who doesn't usually go to nail salons at all but the service is worth the price!! she accommodated for my missing/funky discolored nails, did not make me feel ashamed of them at all. read more

Would give 0 stars if possible. I purchased 10 pedicure gift certificates for my mom. She went in to use one today and they wouldn't accept it, saying the company had been sold. My mom uses a walker and it's difficult to get in to get the pedicure. "Polished" is still the name on the building. "Polished" is the name on the gift certificate. There is no expiration date on the gift certificate. NEVER going back. read more

I have been coming here since I was in high school (now 26 years old). I currently live in NYC but whenever I am back home I always make an effort to come here since they do such a great job and the nails last for a month!! I get the gel builder. Highly recommend coming here as everyone is so friendly! read more

Went here for my daughter who is ten. They did an excellent job on her nails and were very sweet to her! We will definitely be back!

French manicures are so poorly done. Gigantic thick uneven white stripes that cover half the nail. Nail cleaning and cuticle removal was non existent. There are better places read more

Jenny did my gel manicure and it just does not look good, there are bubbles, spots she missed, and polish on my cuticles. I also told her after she did one coat on a couple fingers that I did not like the color and she told me that it would look better after a few coats and it did not. read more

Came in to have my friends nail's done for her wedding. The woman who painted the bride's nails was very rude and did a very poor job. When we brought it to her attention she was frustrated and made her feel bad for having to fix it-- "That's just the way dip is. If you wanted it differently you could've gotten a regular manicure." The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the manager was understanding. read more

Love this salon and the technicians! They were so kind to my daughter and me and did such an awesome job with our pedicures!

terrible experience. I set appt on fb, no luck. Called and set another appt. Once we got there no one helped. Mani, pedi. At that point I should have left. I asked on behalf of the 10yr old with me that she wants a darker polish. The woman argued and toss the polish down it got all over her arm. I ask another woman to clean it because the woman helping us was no longer talking to us. After polish was put on she had the child hold the water for manicure and tools and filing on the child's clothes. I said please use a table. I don't want file dust on her clothes and she is going to drop the water. Why is she hold it on her lap? The woman got extremely angry. I was done. I didn't even want to pay. It was ridiculous. Sadly ruining a person's first experience. read more

I have been coming to Polished for about 6 years. My regular tech is Nina and she does an amazing job. She takes her time and my nails rarely, if ever chip. My daughter comes to her too and loves her. Nina is the only tech I trust and she's become like a friend asking about family and life events. She does a great job. The salon itself has changed ownership several times and I can see the quality has changed since the beginning, but I will keep coming as long as she's here. read more

I have gone to this salon for more than 4 years. The shop has gone through a lot of changes since management changed hands. The formally spacious, relaxing environment has been transformed to a cluttered, scaled down version of the old spot with an ATM in the corner. The abundance of snack items for patrons is also no longer available, basically only water remains. Also notable are the limited offerings of gel polish colors. There may be only 10 or so new colors since management changed. Even when I have expressed my concern about the limited colors, nothing much changes. After 2 years, still no gray! So why still go? My great nail tech, Aubrey. Aubrey accommodates all my odd requests for nail designs and gets them right. My other go to technician is Vy. Both have been at the location since it opened. You should make an appointment because their calendar is usually booked but they are worth the wait. Much of the staff speak English, particularly the tenured staff as that was a priority for the prior management. This allows you to be engaged in conversation while relaxing. It also means that particular people like me can get what they want because there is no language barrier. I would give Aubrey and Vy 5 stars but can't give more than a 4 to the overall location based on the many changes that are deteriorating the experience and the limited additions of new polish colors. read more

Polished Nail Salon - All change is not good but love my nail tech - Nail Salons Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Wish I could give 0 stars. DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL SALON! I went in for a rebase ($43), I requested a SMALL pattern of gems to make the color pop ($5-15 as listed). The women cut my finger with the drill and proceeded to OBLITERATE my nails. There is green all over my skin, the top coat doesn't cover my entire nail, the gemstones look like they were placed by a kindergartner, and there are hairs in my nails. I was hurt and torn by nails and how they looked. I was disgusted and extremely embarrassed and confused as to why they still have a license. Then the price comes out. To a WHOPPING $82! More than a full set of acrylics. I began questioning her and she told me my nails were long, she cut them down to more than half of what i wanted them to be. They are way too short for me so I told her, that, that charge doesn't even make sense. She told me the gems were $30 after I told her how I didn't even want all the gems or the gems she did! Please never go to this place, they will take your money and leave you crying in your car for an hour like I did. Save your money and go to 360 Nails, they are affordable and never leave me sad. read more

The salon is dirty, the nail technicians were not friendly hardly talk to my daughter, and I. The massage part was less than desirable. Will not be going back to the salon. read more

I've been going here since right before Christmas. Typically I only get my nails done for special occasions or to treat myself. I've never done nail designs but decided to ask. The designs were amazing and the Shellac lasted longer than usual. I kept going back because this was the first time I've ever felt like a salon cares about how My nails look. I've been going back ever since. My nail lady, Kayla is amazing. She convinced me to do SNS dip and I'm in love. She's always up for a challenge when I show her art that I want. My most recent set we did was for Pride. I got so many compliments. Everyone asked if it was stickers. Nope all free hand. The salon is clean and they have candy and water. The massage chairs work. I will never go to another nail salon. This is my place. read more

Polished used to be amazing, but has gone downhill. I got a standard pedicure today and they did it in 15 minutes. The manicurist was rude and cut a cuticle and made it bleed bad. The floors are also very slippery. I will not be back! read more

I've been coming here roughly every three weeks for the past two years and my first suggestion is to ask for Kimmie. Kimmie takes her time, she's detailed and precise, won't rush you, very personable and she LOVES doing nails so she's never scared of a complicated design. Overall: I often leave very pleased with a nicely done manicure or pedicure. Friendly, fast, and respect their employees. Tendency to miss steps. Pricey. Often unwilling to do designs (or may just lack in teaching/explaining why it's not possible). Will still recommend to others. There's many things I love about this salon: -inviting atmosphere -well staffed -a lot of dip/powder color choices -short walk-in wait times -friendly technicians -"cash tips are appreciated" is noted at every station showing they have standards and care about their employees What could be improved: -rushing their process and the customer -ability & willingness to do moderate to complex designs -dip/powder price starts at $50 (I.e. no shape changes or added length) -quality & precision; a few great tech's never miss a step but most tech's will miss/skip step(s) (E.g. drilling/filing under nail for added comfort, lotion massage upon completion, comparing nail lengths, etc.) -sweeping more regularly; busy weekend days can result in slipping and sliding on the tile, especially in sandals I am currently trying out different salons as I have not enjoyed my last three visits. 1) Weekday, seated immediately, was given a set of colors (~20 colors). Didn't like any, showed the tech a photo of 2 colors I'd like, told they didn't have color 1 and showed me an option that was only slightly similar to color 2, felt rushed, picked 2 totally different colors instead. Tech focused on socializing with other techs. Kept looking away, nicked me with drill, bled, tech ignored blood. Tech continued to socialize, skipped a lot of filing, asked for adjustments, left with nails stuck to skin. 2) Weekend, busy. Showed tech 2 colors, she went and grabbed a color set, told me they didn't have color 1, showed me exactly what I wanted for color 2. Color 2 was what I was looking for the last time I came in, I realized the last tech simply didn't care to show me other colors. No complaints about the actual visit. 3) Weekend, busy. Discovered they have 3+ sets of colors while waiting. Showed tech various colors/designs I'd like, none were possible. Gave me the same set I disliked from visit #1. Gave up, showed tech the color on my nails (color 2) and asked for that. She said they didn't have that color! Frustrated, I explain that the color was from here. She finds color 2, I once again settle on a random second color, #66. Brings the wrong color, #99 (no difference between 66 & 99 on the printed label). Frustrated enough, I don't say anything. My last and final frustration was realizing that #99 was color 1 I asked for during visit #1. read more

Tina is unbelievable! She fixed a crazy set of acrylics I had from a different salon. She did a full rebase in 30 minutes and it is just perfect. I will be back! read more

This was going to be my second time going to polished after my first time going there and sitting in the waiting area to not be acknowledged by anyone except for when I got there I was told to put my name down... which I did and I never heard from anyone again. 45 minutes later after they took others before me I got up and left. However this next time was worse. I was unlucky enough to get Karen.. I would call her a bully. Not friendly AT ALL. she was rough, rude and clipped my cuticle and made it bleed. Did I get an apology, ummm no I didn't. My finger continued to bleed through the whole appointment and after I left. She would move the ultra violet light while my hands were still in it. This appointment today was the absolute worst experience ever. I will not be back. Not impressed Polished. read more

Shellac on fingers was great. Pedicure wasn't very good. Callus razor was used too aggressively and paint chipped within a few days.

I have gone to polished nails a couple of times already because of how convenient it is where I live, but not good service at all. I've never left a review but it saddens me that I come to get my nails done to relax and my nails are never done the way I want them and I am not that picky when it comes to nails . Either the nail shapes are completely uneven, some are thick and some are thin AND all different lengths or my nail is bleeding, i wanted to have a marble nail design and it looked like zebra stripes. Every time I had a different nail tech because I thought I just had bad luck with the other ones and they all rushed and never took their time. last time I had the man that worked there do my nails and I have never had my nails hurt so bad being filed and cleaned, my nails were sore even driving home, HE EVEN TRIED ADDING A TIP HIMSELF!!!! I had to question the extra $4 that they were charging me and they tried to play it off as if it was okay to add the tip themselves . This place is not worth for what they charge, or their services, completely ingenious. Very upset with my experiences :( what does a girl have to do to feel good ! Sorry for the long review, just very provoked and upset of how much money I've spent here to feel good and i haven't walked out once feeling that way. read more

VERY UNHAPPY My second visit I brought a friend for her first time. She asked for the ombré nails. the lady told her that she could do it for $60 total. She showed the technician a picture of what she wanted in which the lady replied "not good for summer" and pulled out glitter instead & said "trust me". My friend eventually said ok and then told the lady that she wanted them short. The lady refused and said "I can't do an ombré on short nails" and proceeded to do it the way the technician wanted & not the way my friend wanted. She still charged her $60 even though she didn't even get an ombré( instead got clear with glitter tips). I'm getting my nails done across the room. I showed the lady a pic of what I wanted and she told me it would be $50.00 which was pricey. I explained to her what I wanted and She was slightly grumpy while I was trying to show her on my phone the picture I was referring to. She said she could do it and started putting layers upon layers of thick chunky white polish on my nails. And towards the end she blobbed some glitter on the top and spread it around a little with a little tool. I looked at them and was disappointed so I suggested she do something to fix it. She seemed annoyed and grabbed the tool and vigorously moved the glitter around. I thought "she was so grumpy and not at all easy to talk to so I'll just suck it up and deal for a few weeks". I tipped the lady which ended up being close to $60 as well. The next day I realized that the polish on the tips of my nails were already chipped or just not applied at all but I had work all that week so I had to wait to go in to talk to them about fixing it. No lie, everyone that looked at my nails said "you paid for that!?!" It was horrible. Day five I went in to talk to them and ask them to fix the chips and told her the polish was chunky and bumpy, not to mention,the shape of my nails are horrendous. To my surprise the lady blamed it on me and said the chips were normal and it's probably from typing a lot. (I don't type). And it was bulky because of how short my nails were. She had an attitude the entire interaction and told me there is nothing she could do. I tried explaining to her that I have never had paint from my acrylics chip before and she said it's completely normal. I said "so there is nothing you can do for me? She said no. You would have to get your nails completely redone. I chuckled and said wow ok. She then answered the phone and went on with business as if I wasn't even standing there. I will never go there again nor will ANY of my coworkers or friends. read more

I could have done a better job myself! read more

I have been going to Polished for over 2 years. Everyone has been friendly and personable. They do a good job of getting you taken care of in a timely manner. It is a clean and comfortable nail salon. Vy is my favorite! She does a great job of helping me select what would look good. My manicure and pedicure stay intact for a long time after I see her. Also, she is so funny and personable and remembers details about me each time I go in. read more

Pedicure lasted for 15 min.. she didn't shape or cut my nails. Color application was somewhat negligent- left nail polish on my cuticles. I came here with a friend of mine to catch up while doing pedicures, but they started working on her toes much earlier than on mine. I like their massage chairs though. read more

Rushed, unfriendly and overpriced. Took my friend for her birthday and we were done in 15 minutes for a shellac. I had regular nail polish that didn't cover my full nail bed and was botched before I got to the car, as they completely ignored checking if my nails we're even dry. I do not recommend. read more

Polished Nail Salon - Yeah Broncos!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

I decided to try this place out for a manicure the other day, and I was happy how it came out. Other places the polish was kind of all over the place but I have to say my nails looked great when I left here and have held up well so far. The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is my manicure was literally 11 minutes from start to finish -- it was super rushed. I know I was only getting a manicure so they probably wanted to get me in and out to get to more lucrative customers but still, I was paying for a manicure it would've been nice to at least feel a little pampered. Other places also usually offer a drink or water bottle but they did not. read more

I've been coming here since they first opened 4-5 years ago and even when I moved to southeast aurora I would drive all the way up here to see Vy. She knows exactly how I like my nails. Thin but not too thin, always comes out just how I want it! I always get compliments and friends ask me where I go She also paints my daughters nails, she's 3 and very comfortable with her and it makes it easy for us to have mommy & daughter day read more

I want to start by saying that Aubrey is an awesome nail tech! She takes her time and does really spectacular work. She is the only reason why I gave this nail salon two stars. The main issue I have with this nail salon is the new owner. The previous owners were very friendly and nice to the clients and to their workers. The new owner is rude. She never says hello or smiles, she just tells me to sign in and go sit at my nail tech's table. I've notice that she is very nice to new clients but not to the regulars. It's very obvious that she just cares about making $$$ than keeping her clients happy. In the end, I would recommend finding another nail salon. But if you do decide to go to Polished Nails than I recommend you seeing Audrey or Vee. read more

Ugh! Very nice place, customer service was amazing. But I left unsatisfied which sucks cause I paid 50$ for 2 crooked nails, they were super thick & uneven! I felt like the girl doing them was in a rush. I then went to my original nail place and he even said my nails were a mess ! I will never recommend or step foot in here again. I didn't even argue the price cause I had to ask her multiple times to fix them, I was over it ... paid & wanted to get out! NEVER AGAIN ! Lesson learned don't cheat on your nail salon! 70$ later my nails look so much better read more

me, my sister, my best friend and her sister all went in to get our nails done. we had 3 full sets and 1 gel manicure. 2 of the full sets were okay.. i could've probably done them but they looked fine (not worth $65). my sister got cut 2 times in the process of them filing her nails and their solution to her bleeding was using NAIL GLUE to bandage the cuts. the attitude from the nail techs in general was ridiculous. they made it seem like it was a burden to do our nails as if they don't work at a nail salon. my biggest issue with the whole thing was my best friends nails. she asked for an almond french tip and got the most god awful version. the polish is uneven and so is the acrylic. keep in mind we had asked the lady multiple times to fix the polish and to be honest she made it worse. it had seemed like it was her first time ever doing a french tip which seems absurd considering she is a nail tech. i'll insert photos below of what she asked for and what she got but even looking at them makes me so upset. it was $65 for a half assed job and attitude in return. i would literally recommend any other salon. contempo on 144th will literally be your best bet in Thornton at this point. super annoying. read more

This was my second time at Polished. I went back because the first time was just fine, no issues. I had the huge misfortune of having Karen today, she was absolutely unfriendly, rough and rushed through as fast as possible. I asked for a full set and she was annoyed from the start. Halfway through I had to remind her to do my thumb as she just completely skipped over it. She really didn't work to fill in the base and would just forcefully move my hands around. She made my hands bleed, with no apology and every time her electric file would slip and smack my fingers she would just roll her eyes and keep going. Adding to all of it was the fact that she had earbuds in the entire time. She said maybe 5 words from start to finish including "done" at the end. I walked up front waiting to pay and she came up, grabbed my card out of my hand without a word, gave it back and walked away. To add to it, she had a sign on her table that basically demanded cash tips. I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone and if you do go, make sure to ask for anyone but Karen! read more
