Left the dead skin and cuticles on. This was the day I got them done.
Maria P.

I just moved to Fort Collins and spent time researching nail places and was so happy this one was so close to my house. You can make an appointment or just walk in. I walked in on a weekday and was immediately seated for a pedicure and gel manicure. I was told to pick a toe color and I asked if I could see the gel colors so I could match it and right off the bat the employees seemed irritated. There was also an employee walking out from the back to the main area without a mask on. The pedicure was just not good. Barely cut a single cuticle off. The polish was sloppy(see attached). The manicure was also of the same quality, and I was left with several jagged edges and a 70 plus dollar bill. There was a language barrier so when I tried to ask questions about the work, there was not a mutual understanding. There has got to be better places!

A cute little place, I made an appointment and was promptly taken care of! Lots of color options for nails, and she took off my dip nails for no extra cost. Only took 30 minutes for my nails and they came out great, not lumpy or uneven! My dip nails cost $46, great service, I recommend trying it out.

Had a great experience! I came in as a walk-in, they were able to help me right away. Friendly staff and made me feel welcomed during the whole experience. I will definitely be going back to Polished Nail Spa.

I came in today with a crazy request: can you use dip powder/ gel polish and paint the eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings? I pulled up a picture for the 2 men at the front counter, and to my honest surprise they said yes. Sam did an AMAZING job! He did black dip powder on the pinkies, thumbs, and middle fingers, and clear dip powder followed by yellow gel polish as a base for the ring, and index fingers. He then proceeded to use a small detail brush, dipping it in red, yellow, and black to make the design. He was incredibly meticulous, doing multiple coats and shading. And after doing the intricate eye/fire design, he realized the black base was too dark for the middle fingers, and was willing to redo them with a white base. Now that's commitment! The nails came out even better than I could have hoped for. Will DEFINITELY be coming back here regularly.

This place must have new owners or something - the first couple of times I went (on recommendation of a friend, who was a regular) I got a gel manicure and the folks (Tony especially) did a great job. I feel like the whole staff has changed the last couple of times I've been. I got gel manicures the last few times, which lasted 2-3 weeks, like normal. The last time I had two nails chip after one week - they fixed these when I went back, though a bit begrudgingly. The last time I went in, I asked to have my gel manicure removed and to just get a regular polish manicure (I'd had gel on since April and wanted a break). The woman I spoke to didn't seem happy I didn't want another gel manicure, and she set me up with someone new who still seemed to be learning. In the past when I've had gel removed, they had me soak the polish off but this time they used the sander to grind it off. Well . . . my nails are ruined. The girl who was learning only did one hand and spoke the whole time about how nervous she was and didn't want anyone watching. She was also wearing fake nails so long she couldn't operate the speed control on the sander correctly. The two women who sanded off my gel polish took off not only the polish but a layer of my nails as well and left an incredibly uneven surface. I've had to layer polish on just to keep my nails from falling apart, and they're still incredibly thin and keep chipping and breaking. I hate having to leave a negative review as I had a very positive experience my first couple of times here, but something has changed lately and I won't be returning. Update: It's more than one month later, and I wanted to post a pic of the damage done to my nails. You can clearly see where the surface is ragged and uneven near the tips - it's a sharp contrast to the healthy nail growing in. (They're currently stained on the damaged part from the polish I still have to wear to keep them from breaking.)

Sam's beautiful work. Absolutely happy!

I moved here from a place where my nail artist was amazing. I've been looking for a new salon and artist for over a year now. Today I walked into Polished and asked if the could do a stiletto ombre. They placed me with Sam. I am beyond happy with his work and will be back. Thank you so much!!!

I've been trying to talk myself out of doing a yelp review for a while, but my roommate convinced me I should let others know. I'm not sure how the rest of their business artistry is, but a few days after thanksgiving I came back to town and got my acrylic nails removed by appointment. Simple right? Except I was left waiting 30 mins and by the time they had someone to do my nails, she didn't soak my nail in anything and shaved away at my acrylics. I had acrylic before, but it had been about a year since I had them done, so my nails were strong and healthy. She filed my nails down THINNER than paper (actually compared to printer paper) and I haven't been able to grow them longer than a millimeter because within the span of a day, SINCE THANKSGIVING, my nails fragment on average about 3-6 times. In the pictures you can see where my real nail sits and how much was shaved off in one sitting. I would get it if I have 2-4 sets of acrylic nails, but like I said. I had healthy nails. For acrylic nail removal, avoid at all costs. Still hurts to wash my hair and pick up things.

Look at these!!!

I love this salon! It's such a warm, inviting atmosphere. I love the music and the decor (what other nail salon have you been to that they play Red Hot Chili Peppers and Incubus?!) I brought a picture of the nails I wanted and got a dip manicure. There is a very wide selection of dip colors and they are amazing quality, however not a lot of blues...mostly red, pink, purple, teal, etc. But I walked away so happy. The price is extremely reasonable and the quality of work is amazing. And the nail art is flawless! Highly recommend.

My nails are amazing!! Usually don't like getting my nails in Fort Collins because it's not as good as back home but I have found this place and I'm so happy I did!! Really recommend coming!! They helped with picking out my nail color and were so nice. The nail tech was the best talking to me and making me feel comfortable. Coming back for sure.

I have been to Polished Nails for months now. They are clean and nice, friendly staff. Easy parking. They provide varieties of designs and colors. Tim is very gentle and detail oriented. I highly recommend this place!

I love the color and my nail shape. She did a great job
Makenzie B.

I am very impressed! I called a few days ahead of time to book two pedis and the guy was super helpful! I hate when salons use the cheese graters because it's a health concern and they are painful. I asked about it and he confirmed that they never use them. I was very happy going here because they all speak English, they are professional and they have all their tools individually wrapped, which it's great. Everyone was nice and talkative, I'll definitely go back. The only things that bothered me was the bathroom wasn't very clean, it didn't have toilet paper, and they didn't have the best selection of polish, some of them looked old. One of the biggest things that I really loved was the fact that they scrub the pedicure tubs and the drain plug before getting it filled with water for the service. Cleanliness is a big issue, especially with pedicure bowls. Very impressed. All in all, I'll come back when I'm up here in Fort Collins.

Taken a week after .. they have held up nicely but they are square and a little bumpy
Crystal T.

Came here for a gel mani and regular pedi. This place was less expensive then most I was finding in town. The service was ok, they where friendly. I ended up getting a dip manicure for first time with tips I asked for rounded nails I noticed they seemed a little square but let her finish ... now i realize they are very square and they are little lumpy looking . Not the best experience trying dip

Thinh was so accommodating and did such a great job on my nails. He made them look to natural and understood exactly what I was asking for. I came to this salon due to the good reviews online and am so happy I gave them a try! I will be back!

It was my husbands birthday and I was going away so needed to find another place to go. I was able to get a last minute appointment in at the screamin peach. Making the appointment was easy and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. Arrived at the location. It is difficult to find a parking spot right on college where they are, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot its pretty hard to back out onto college. Traffic doesn't want to let you out. I would high recommend parking on laurel instead. Once you arrive you have to call to let them know you are there. You will need to wear your mask inside and then use their hand sanitizer or bring your own in to use once inside. The person who worked on me was great. She did a good job and i was very happy with my full leg wax. However, Kristi at Waxing moon is still my favorite and i will be going back to her for my next visit. The prices were a little higher than what I pay at my other studio. The rooms are also private Overall i was happy and I was very thankful to be able to get in so last minute.

I was told there is a free slot for the next hour, see you soon. I arrive, am taken directly back, within five minutes I'm out. The wildest part is my underarms were NOT grown out significantly, often esthetician's give up, rip off my skin, or charge me for four hairs on a strip of fabric all while double dipping and not wearing gloves. Jill, I believe it was, plucked a few and I wholly expected to see endless stragglers as I had multiple different hair lengths coming in at once. I have maybe seven stragglers total (I am happy to pluck those myself), my skin is not sore, it was well priced, efficient, nearly painless, clean, and speedy. I will not go anywhere else from this day forward.
