    Nail design done by Fey at polish.

    I've gone here for years and I always enjoy my experience. I've brought many friends and family along with me who have also enjoyed it. Fay (I believe is her name) always does a great job on my designs! I'm usually very indecisive so I show her a couple pictures of different yet similar nails from online and she puts her own creative style into it and combines them! Comes out beautiful every time! Have no complaints! These are gel-x nails, highly recommend if you don't usually get your nails filled often and want them to come off without pain! Update: I got these done 2 days before my birthday and some of them broke off a day after getting them done.. soo I didn't even have the nails for my birthday!!! A week later and I only have 5 nails left... I spent $110 just for 1 days of all my nails. I'm not happy.. this is the first time this has happened, I would like a refund but we will see if this happens. I'll keep updating review if they do.

    I called ahead to see if there was any walk-in availability and was told to come in. I was the only person in there and went to pick my colors. I was rushed very quickly to sit and the guy I had just grabbed my hands and tried to start so I apologized and asked for just a second to just look at colors. I felt very rushed so I just picked two random colors and let him begin. He filed my nails for about two minutes and started to put the gel color directly on top, no prep or cleaning, there was white powder from filing still on my nails and my cuticles were a mess all around. The gel lamp kept shutting off and I kept trying to tell the guy it wasn't working but he didn't seem to really care. My nails did not properly dry as they were only under for about 30 seconds after the final layer. He spent no longer than 10 mins on my nails, and the whole time he was looking at the door, clearly in a rush. I went to do my eye brows with someone else, and by the time he was done the original guy had already taken a lady that came in. They clearly tried to squeeze me in knowing he had an appointment, rushing and not providing a quality experience. I think he would say himself that he did not do the best work. I left with polish not even covering the full nail, and chipping the next day already due to no prep work done. I paid just under $50, and definitely feel ripped off and just used to make a quick buck. Nails are messy, bumpy, and already chipped as you can see in the pictures. The eye brow guy did good, but do not recommend this place for nails, especially if you're just walking in and may not be a regular client. The best part is the guy had the audacity to ask if I'll be tipping in cash. Very disappointing as I went to get my nails done for a vacation. I wish I went elsewhere and definitely will next time.

    I went here while visiting family and the staff was rude and dismissive. I asked for an eyebrow waxing and explained to the technician that the skin under my eyebrows was sensitive to heat and asked her to make sure she cooled the wax as much as possible. She said the wax was already cool and didn't bother to cool it when applying to the first eye. When I mentioned that it felt like I got burned on the first pass, she kind of blew on the wax before applying again. Needless to say, I was severely burned. Additionally, when I told her I was definitely burned, they did not offer to comp any of the bill and publicly shamed me for not wanting to leave a tip. I will not be returning. Terrible people. I am adding a photo of my burns and how they look 24 hours later.

    Great service! Took their time doing my nails and they came out amazing! Would recommend to anyone!

    Super friendly, great service !! Loved the way that my nails came out! Would recommend to anyone!

    Loved this place. Four of us went in without Sn appointment on a week day morning. They welcomed us with open arms and we had four pedi chairs in a row with four happy faces given us the pedis. It was relaxing and thorough. When we were done our feet all looked great and we had a great time. Priced just right with good selection of polishes.

    After having a less than quality "anc" manicure done in Kingston (), I went into Polished wanting the "anc" removed. I went in around 6pm on a Tuesday and was seen immediately. The tech removed the heavy "anc" and then proceeded with a basic manicure. She was thorough and gentle making it a pleasant experience. I will definitely be back - especially as pedicure season is around the corner! (Color, OPI; Don't Bossa Nova Me Around)

    I have been going to Polished Nail for one year. I have always made appointments and they have always been considerate of my time. I was there last night extremely tired from work and when I sat in the chair for my pedicure I was in heaven. They go the extra mile to make you feel good and after being a client at other nail salons in New Paltz I must say Polished Nail is the BEST! 07/07/18...This is the best nail place in New Paltz! My regular woman is away in vacation and she was sure to have me set up with someone equally detailed and sweet as her. They never fail me! Make an appointment to visit them you will not be disappointed

    Broken nails, two days and eight days later.

    Inconsistent quality. (Long read but honest and informative!) So I came here for the first time back in April because I heard they were the "better" nail salon. I got gel nails and a regular pedicure. I don't remember much about how long the pedicure lasted, but it looked good while it did. The gel nails looked really good and lasted a while, and I got a lot of compliments on it. Fast forward to last Sunday. Only 8 days ago. I came in to get SNS done on my nails, and asked to wait for Faye, since she did my nails the last time. I had to have a guy in the salon translate for me, since most of the techs aren't fluent in English. While I waited, someone else did my gel pedicure. I chose a color and we began, but the tech advised me to pick another color since the one I chose wasn't very opaque. I went to chose another, and it took a few minutes since I wanted it to match my chosen manicure color. While I was choosing and comparing colors, I could tell the techs were getting annoyed, as if I was being a nuisance?? About three techs came up to where I was and started speaking to each other in (I believe) Mandarin or Cantonese. After I settled on a color, we got back to the pedicure. I remember the last pedicure I got feeling amazing, but this one was very meh. The tech wasn't very warm, though not necessarily rude either. Faye came in in the middle of my pedicure, so when it was done, I didn't really look at it much and went to get my manicure. She did the manicure with the SNS (a powder you dip your fingers into, similar to acrylic but without the added extension). She dipped my nails three times (so three layers) and they were noticeably chunky, even after she buffed them down. I asked her about that and she claimed it was supposedly because my nails bed is curved (???) and that it will look better as my nails grow out. Now, I'd never gotten SNS before now, but that didn't seem right to me, but I told myself I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. Once again, just like when I was ADVISED to choose a new color for my feet, the same lady who did my pedicure came up to her and they started talking; I could tell by her tone and her glances that it had to do with my questioning her work (how *dare* I right?!) After my pedicure finished, I went to pay Faye and she asked me if I had cash for the tip. I didn't, so she told me "Just put it on the card, but next time bring cash, we prefer that." Here's the thing; a tip is not guaranteed. I planned to tip, and almost always do, but do not make it seem as if I'm inconveniencing you when I have just as much right to walk out and give you zero extra. I paid, got my card stamped and left. I started inspecting my nails as I left, and noticed it was not as dark or as sparkly as it was on the sample nail. You can't even tell it sparkles unless it is under a bright light and you look closely. The polish looks almost the same exact color as my bare nails. My feet that I neglected to inspect? JANK! Absolutely JANK! The polish is so sloppy and uneven, you can see some of my bare nail in places, and it is more opaque in some places than others. Fast forward two days. The SNS on the corner of my right index finger chipped off, and my real nail with it! Fast forward to 15 minutes ago, the SNS on the corner of my right index finger has chipped off also. So much for strength and long lasting. This is the most dilapidated $73 I have ever spent on nails. It really should be fixed for free, but I don't think I'd like to step foot in there again. It was an absolute 180 between the experience I had in April versus last week. Shame.

    Great experience for gel nails! Yoyo was the technician for my mom's Christmas present manicure and she was wonderful. Great attention to detail, the gel is a perfect thickness! We also did a paraffin was wrap and it was WELL WORTH IT. My mom has very tough skin and hard worked hands that we very moisturizer afterward. The spot is right next to shop right tucked in a corner, super clean and big and bright. Great for people to go together. Girls day! Or a good couple outing ;)

The entire service felt rushed and inattentive after that. The final result reflects that. One nail has messy polish and several nails were not fully sealed with top coat, which affects both the appearance and durability of the set. I was still charged full price despite the noticeable issues. Professionalism and consistency matter in the beauty industry, and unfortunately this experience did not reflect that. Definitely not work the trip from Kingston.

I went in to dye my hair for my birthday and asked Chrissy if she had any ideas about what sort of haircut to do, and she was so kind and told me she actually had a very good idea for shaping my hair! She very expertly used a razor to trim my hair and made it look so stunning. She also was able to get my hair color perfect. I started at a pretty dark color and actually had some dye from a while ago on my tips, and she lifted everything PERFECTLY to make it an even color all around. I've never felt so confident in myself before. Every day I say out loud to the people in my life that I'm in love with my hair.

I asked for a short cut, showed reference pictures (about an inch above my shoulders with layers), and explained exactly what I wanted. I've had trims and layers done here before by other stylists, and it was fine, but today was a completely different experience. When I got to my car after the cut and blow-dry, I felt like something was off. Once I got home and straightened the blown-out curls, I realized just how bad it was--my hair was two drastically different lengths. I have no idea how my stylist thought it was okay to let me leave like that. I called the salon right away to request a refund, which they did provide, and they also offered to fix it for free. However, after seeing how uneven the cut was, I didn't feel comfortable going back. I've included photos so you can see for yourself why I was so distraught. I have an appointment at a different salon tomorrow to get it corrected. But I assume I am going to have to wear a very short bob for a while.
