Came here a few times and this may be my new go to spot. My pedicures have been done multiple times by Cindy and her mom and they both give the BEST massages. Cindy is always so sweet and patient with me especially due to my arthritis she's always willing to help me and find a way to make things work when I am unable to properly sit in a position for her to see well she'll still do it (even standing up once). 10/10 would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Professional caring staff. Wait is always minimized, prices are competitive for the area. I have been coming here for at least 8 years and recommend this salon. Ask for Anna or Kathy. Honestly, everyone is great. read more

I have tried a number of nail salons over the past few years and tried several types of products to make my thin, ridged (aged) nails both attractive and strong. Finally, a friend referred me to Jenny at Polished Nails has given me what I didn't think was possible. Strong nails that look beautiful and natural. Jenny is skilled and explained the product and the process. She explained the need to transition to the new product (hard gel) to get to the best look. I am delighted! I have strong, beautiful nails and I can pick up a dime--just like with natural nails. The people there are friendly and professional. The shop is clean and bright. I am so pleased to recommend them! read more

I want to give this salon a positive review because the employees there are very friendly and attentive. However, after my third or fourth time coming here (mostly in wanting to support the business), I have to say that the quality of the outcome is not on par with the service. Every time I have gone to have a gel manicure done, at least one of the nails peels off. I dismissed it at first, but this time around, my gel manicure lasted *just* over a week-- definitely not even two weeks, maybe ten days. The photos below show the gel manicure on almost four fingers peeled off after this short period. read more

The nail technicians are really nice and professional. The level of service I get is consistent across both locations (Decatur & Brookhaven). I visited the Brookhaven location several times. It's one of my favorite nail shops in Atlanta. I was pleasantly surprised when while at the Decatur location I looked at the brochure and seen they own the Brookhaven location as well. read more

I've been here 4 times, Only been satisfied once. There's 2 lady's that do a good job. If you want a very basic manicure sure it's fine, but don't expect anything else. I'm not coming here anymore. This time the guy was getting visibly frustrated with me asking him to fix all this sloppy gel then he just quit and had another lady come fix his mess. I'm still somewhat dissatisfied, there's cured gel on my skin, fibers and bubbles in the base coat, a very lumpy nail. For $170+ and 3 hours it's not worth it. I'm gonna go home and soak this whole mess off, the more I look at it the more I hate it. read more

They tried to fix the mess & I appreciate that but it wouldn't have needed to be fixed if it was done correctly. They discounted my service because I got a very messy Dip powder, my finger was cut and tried to blame it on the dark color I got. We all know the color is never really the problem. read more

Every time I come here they file not only my nails, but also my skin off!! I WILL NEVER RETURN! Gave them a few chances and every time I had these same scabs and cuts that really hurt on my toes along cuticle line. I won't put my toes at risk anymore. Doesn't matter who is doing your nails so don't bother going here! I warned you. After she cleaned up my blood from cutting me, I noticed she left a bloody cotton ball on the ground and then kept touching the tip of a bottle to my skin on the same nail she just made bleed.... read more

The staff at Polished Nail Spa are always friendly and professiona!! They always do a Great job. My spouse and I have been going to them for 12 years. We live in Hampton, GA but we make that drive to Decatur just because of the excellent service that we receive!! read more

Unfortunately, this was my first time here and will be my last. I got a gel manicure and it was a mess - the gel didn't even fully reach the cuticles of my nail and started peeling up within two days! Typically gel lasts me up to two weeks. I'm just disappointed as the services are expensive for the quality provided. read more

Polished Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Very much recommend. It's a modest place. I can't speak to the acrylic nail experience but for sheer good will and people who try hard to please, you can't beat Polished. It's comfortable and maybe this is just a fluke, but I've never encountered there people who feel the need to be on their cell phone during their nail experience (I find this very jarring). read more

Tried this nail place on a whim because I had an event coming up. Arrived about an hour before close, which seemed like it'd be enough time for a very basic mani pedi. Everything seemed ok, if a little rushed, and they did a decent looking job. But when I took the polish off about a week later my nails were brittle, peeling, and damaged. read more

OMG! My feet and hands have never been treated with such well care. I came here with my mom today and got the works! The place was really clean, I saw them using awesome cleaning products after each guest to wipe the chairs and all the tools were sterilized and ready for use. The nail techs were really nice and made sure water temperature, filing and scrubbing were to my liking. I immediately told them that I would be back, and by the end of the experience, my and I were like yes! We are definitely coming back. 5 Stars from me. read more

I never leave Yelp reviews. But I tried with Polished. The hundreds I've given you guys. For month after month and I sometimes got great work sometimes okay work but for the most part okay. October 1 I get a I never leave Yelp reviews. But I tried with Polished. The hundreds I've given you guys. For MONTHS and I sometimes got great work sometimes okay work but for the most part okay. October 1 I get a brand new set. Simple almond dark red. The nail tech Dylan is very friendly *except he cut me twice, but I overlooked it, I pay and I leave. (Added later, what actually happened is I pointed out that he cut me and, I sh** you not, he suggested that I already had the cuts) Not ten days later, brand new nail pops off. One day, one more. etc. I went back for a new set when I could afford it - all fallen off but 3 - and expressed my frustration that they didn't last. This should have been a fill. I should not have had to have a new set at all at this time. I have been getting nails for over a year and I have never had them fall off like that. He immediately became unfriendly with me and was from then on rushed doing his work. He was rough and when I expressed it hurt that he was pulling off my nail with his fingers, not soaking it, he seemed very annoyed. It HURT LIKE F*** getting those off and I let him know, his response was "Do you want me to do them or not." I really don't see why he couldn't take two seconds to soak. The whole time I just got the feeling that he was unhappy with me because my nails had popped off, a problem that was not anything of my fault. I never even mentioned price or a discount or anything. It was unprofessional to say the least. Then when my nails were finished I paid and everything, they are fine but upon turning them over he seemed to have left them unfinished underneath? cuticles completely un left done, paint missing on the sides, just care and detail rushed though. I'm just pretty unhappy with the way it was handled and I won't be going there again. Like sorry I made you mad because all my nails popped off? So now you have the right to hurt me and not stop when I ask? Don't treat people like that. I guess part of it is my fault for allowing this tech to do my nails again. I wanted to give him another chance. This man should not be a nail tech, i'm really sorry and I know everyone needs a job but this is not the job for him. new set. Simple almond dark red.

Polished Nail Spa - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

I really wanted to like this nail salon. It's nearby, clean, and they have great color selection. I was seated quickly for being a walk in; within minutes of coming in. The shop wasn't busy, yet I was being rushed to pick a color. The tech doing my manicure manhandled my hands. It hurt when she pushed my cuticles and she clipped them excessively. I told her about how sensitive my hands are and that she was hurting me and she continued on as if she didn't hear me. At one point, she took a nail filer and filed my raw skin. It was by far the most painful manicure I've ever had. She made me bleed and now my cuticles are sore and puffy. read more

My sister and I went to Polished yesterday for deluxe pedis and regular manis. We had an appointment and got right in. The space is beautiful and clean. Wendy did my mani/pedi and she was absolutely lovely. She was great to chat with and did a fantastic job. I will definitely come back next time I visit Atlanta! read more

Awesome experience! Received a classic mani and polished pedi. My cuticle was cut and started bleeding but they were overly apologetic. Very clean space and the kindness staff. The best day to come is Tuesday. read more

LOVE polished - have found my go to salon from now on. My future MIL and SIL go to their location in Buckhead but the Decatur location is a bit more convenient for myself. Wonderful team, super accommodating and does a great job. read more

My girlfriend and I came to this salon, hoping it could be our new favorite place! Unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences we've had. We could not wait to get out of this place. I think there are much better options in the Decatur area and would not advise anyone to go here. read more

I'm so glad I checked this place out! I recently moved to Decatur and have been in search for a nail salon closer to home. I still love my original spot, but it's a bit of a commute. I was recommended Polished by an acquaintance and I finally had the chance to check it out! The girls did a great job with my dip polish nails and bringing my toes back to life. I was in and out in 1.5 hours. Social distancing is enforced, masks are required by both employees and guests, and the girls wore gloves the whole time. Currently there's a $2 COVID up charge for the deep cleaning they're doing between visits, but otherwise the prices are very reasonable. read more

I've been going to polish for several years now, even before it was renamed and renovated. The ladies are definitely pretty busy and are not so keen on small talk, but if you want a place to get your nails done quickly and for a good price, then this is the place for it. The owner (or previous owner) Mary is a sweet woman once you get to know her. She also used to do good facial waxing and she could do it in just a few minutes! Their prices for almost any service are great, though I think they have recently increased them slightly. read more

Got me in and out super fast and did a really nice pedicure. The woman was very nice and even helped me pick out a color. Definitely one of my favorite nail spots near Emory read more

It truly depends on who you get! The first time, the manager did my nails. She was great. It was one of the best gel manicures I received. It stayed for a month with no peeling or chipping. I asked for her again, but they said she no longer worked there. I would've given her 5 stars, but she no longer works there. So the second time, I got this guy. I felt he didn't listen to me and was rude & rough handed. First of all, he didn't properly cut my cuticles. Didn't even soak them and then half assed barely cut them. He asked if I wanted to have my nails cut or just filed. I said I wanted them cut, but he only filed them. I had to explain to him 3 times to please just cut my nails. Then, he was going to start applying the gel polish after he didn't properly buffer my nails. He only used the coarse buffet and they were covered in visible, large scratches and nail dust. I had to ask him to use the lighter buffer. Also, he kept filing my pinky nail with the coarse buffer until it formed a small cut. It still hurts and I'll have to wait for it to heal. He also left pieces of cotton in the manicure, and when I mentioned it, he scoffed at me. I also asked for a cup of water at the beginning of the session. He didn't remember to bring it to me, and instead gave me a bottle of water at the end when I asked a second time. Last time I had a manicure, she gave me a cup of water and didn't charge me. This time, the guy snuck the cost of the water when he charged me. I didn't realize until later. So he made me wait until after and hour when all I wanted was a sip of water plus he charged me without saying anything. And when I paid, he asked me to tip him either through cash or card. I was going to tip anyways, but find it distasteful that he asked like that. I did not feel valued as a customer and felt that it was just about the money. So basically I recommend not getting the guy to do your nails. Idk what his name was, but I think there's just 1 guy working there. He's rough handed, inattentive, and doesn't care about customer satisfaction. read more

I haven't had a pedicure for 10 months due to the pandemic. On a whim, I stopped in and received a lovely pedicure from Nancy. Door was open for ventilation and the place is immaculate. Took recommended precautions. A wonderful treat that felt even more indulgent than usual. I will be back. read more

Thoroughly disappointed. This is the second time that I am visiting. The first visit was okay, but this time paid over $100 for a manicure/pedicure and did not receive the pedicure that I wanted. They did a very sloppy job with the ombre glitter design on my toes. When I asked them to correct it and offered to show them a picture of what I had in mind, the pedicure technician became very rude. She said that she does not do designs and there's no time for them to do the design that I wanted. Please keep in mind that I had offered to show them what I wanted prior to getting the pedicure, but they acted as if they understood and yet did the wrong thing--incredibly sloppy. When I showed the pedicurist another easier, very simple style that I have had done at many nail salons (even by fairly inexperienced pedicure technicians), she said that she does not know how to do designs and refused. Instead, she started speaking very loudly and unpleasantly in a foreign language I did not understand (Vietnamese), presumably about me, which was very rude. Then said she was just going to put the top coat on and NOT do anything else with my pedicure. The owner did not intervene and everyone else in the store just remained silent. Then the pedicure technician told me that in order to do the design that I was requesting, they would need to do a gel pedicure, which I know is not true because I've had this done with several different salons and it never required the more expensive gel pedicure. It's literally just a sliver of glitter on the top of the nail, and does not require any special gel. I would definitely not recommend this salon and I am very unlikely to return. Both the lack of skill, and the way I was treated were intolerable. read more

Polished is the absolute best!! This is the 2nd location (first one is in Brookhaven). Not only is the salon freshly renovated, spotless, and beautiful, it's the best manicure and pedicure you'll find in the area! I've had gel, S&S, regular polish.. all have looked flawless! Thank you Polished! read more

I went to Polished today for a mani/pedi along with my young daughter who got the kids mani/pedi. It was very nice on the inside and we were quickly seated. They did a great job accommodating a fidgety 5 year old, and my pedicure and French nails look great. I also got my eyebrows/lip waxed and despite repeated instructions to "just clean them up" and "not too thin" my eyebrows are now pencil thin on the outside Ah well, they'll grow back. I would definitely recommend for an easy, last minute pedicure stop. I would not get my brows waxed here again. read more

Better options out there. Terrible job on SMS nails. Returned to have them removed & received no financial compensation, just an apology.

Great service and fantastic price! They are willing to try new styles of you ask.

I went to this place twice--the first time was fine and had no problems so I tried it again--big mistake!! I got a pedicure and noticed she was clipping my cuticles excessively. I said ouch and asked her to stop but it was too late--several were already bleeding! It's now been 2 days and when I woke up in the morning my pinky toe cuticles were swollen, red, and puffy. My foot hurts so bad it's hard to walk or put on shoes. I got a pedicure for a special event and now I can't even wear my heels. I'm going to the doctor to see if it is infected as it keeps bleeding and is very painful. Do not go here!! A professional would know what is too far to cut and wouldn't risk your health. read more

Polished is the best nail salon in the Atl. The entire staff is fabulous, they all are awesome at what they do. They are excellent with SNS nails. I would never trust my nails to anyone else! The salon itself is newly renovated and looks amazing, it's very relaxing and very posh !! I feel relaxed when I am in there and feel like a million bucks when I walk out!!! The prices are excellent and the customer service is outstanding!! read more

Not the same since Mary left. In fact, everyone there is new and when I asked to have my nails done the way Mary, Kathy and all the old employees use to do them I was told NO, and also told that the "old" way was not healthy and this new employee said Kathy gave her an infection doing it that way. My brow waxing was also horrible. She removed a large portion of my eyebrow. BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR 26 YEARS. SADLY I WONT BE RETURNING! read more

I've been coming here for a while now. Everything is very new, clean and sterile. The atmosphere is calm and soothing. They do a wonderful job. read more
