Hard gel manicure with single design
Jenny B.

My first time at Polished went really well. Their hard gel manicure was meticulous (though if you have sensitive cuticles, brace yourself). And they did a fantastic job at creating the evil eye design I showed them for each of my ring fingers. My nails still look perfect (other than the natural growth) almost a month later. They were also very kind and attentive. I will be back.

Melania is amazing. Very detailed, professional and kind. And the receptionist was super sweet! Very professional ! Love my nails! Worth the money :)

I have fallen in love with this place and all its nail technicians! They are all so lovely and they go out of their way to ensure you're happy with your nails!!! This place is unlike any other! They did my engagement nails and new years! I will never go elsewhere, my nails last forever and are well worth the price. I always get compliments on my nails. I'm very rough with my hands as I have a hands on job and they've never chipped! Done by Dilara She's very sweet and patient!!! Love her work

Russian Manicure w/ Hard Gel

My second review on this salon. The hospitality is great very nice people and your nails look gorgeous right when they are done but for some reason the hard gel nails on my nails chipped within 3 days. I just looked down and on my gel pedicure the whole coat of gel polish is just gone.. slid right off after 3 weeks that has never happened to me. This review is more for the technicians to read and to be more thorough throughout the process to ensure this doesn't happen. Thicker coats on hard gel and prepping toenails better before you paint them

Three weeks since my appointment and barely looks like I need a fill  can't wait for my next appointment soon!

First off: I have been getting manicures all around the city for over 10 years. I've gotten gel, gelx, hard gel, acrylic, dip, regular manis...literally everything and everywhere between Manhattan and Brooklyn..and I've never found a place like Polished until now. 5 stars. I waited three weeks to write this review to really test out my nail's longevity, and my nails still look incredible. I get comments on how nice and fresh they look even three weeks out. There's a bit of grow out but that's to be expected, and it's a lot less noticeable than three weeks out after regular gel. The venue is also very clean & relaxing. I'm officially a Russian mani convert and I'm not going back. Highly recommended.

This places butchered my nails. Went in for a regular mani and pedi. This is how my nails look after I took off the polish. Also super expensive. Over $200. The ladies are nice but the results are awful at least for regular mani and pedi. I don't do fake or gel.

Elina is such an amazing nail artist. I'm so glad I finally found her after searching for the right person for so long. I've had really expensive and mediocre Russian manicures at other places in the city and never thought it justified the price but Elena makes it worth every penny. She's also so kind and collaborative since she really wants to make sure you're happy with your nails and the service. I actually enjoy going to get my manicure every month because she also generally makes the environment comfortable and enjoyable. Definitely book with Elina if you want a great Russian manicure and service :)

Best nail salon I've ever been to and I highly recommend it!!! The manicurists are so skilled and have such great taste Thank you so much

Polished is amazing! I went this past weekend and I got my nails done for Valentine's Day. let me tell you... i have never had such a lush, juicy, and sturdy gel manicure. The technician took her TIME with each nail, making sure each nail looked perfectly manicured and then perfectly flawless with its gel application. I... don't know how I'll go back to anyone giving me a less professional manicure. 6 stars, not 5. Oh also, the staff is lovely. Just a heads up, it is not your typical street front salon: the shop is inside an office building but it is legit. GO!

Two weeks old

This is what my nails look like two weeks since they've been done. They are starting to grow out but it still looks good

My nails right after the manicure

The best manicure I've ever had! My nail technician Irina was very, very thorough, she was like a surgeon doing the brain surgery. There wasn't the slightest imperfection, my nails and cuticles were as perfect as they could ever get. I went 3 weeks ago, my nails still look good! They obviously grew, but my cuticles are still in a very good shape, and nail polish didn't chip at all. I highly recommend! It is my new nail salon! I attached photos of my nails 3 weeks ago and today, 3 weeks later

Expensive but the best Russian mani ever. Russian pedi is not worth it. They give you drinks and chocolate. Love it here

love my giraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaffe wouldn't be happier with my nails definitely worth the moneyread more

This has been my go to salon for years. The last time I came they charged me $215 for nail art…read more(simple design that required some technique but WAS NOT hand painted) on medium long nails. Seeing that they've charged other customers $150/160 for more intricate designs on longer nails makes me feel robbed and descriminated against. Hoping I can update this interview soon. Edit: $215 not $250. While beautiful, I went to several salons in the area and not one quoted over $150. A stamp using one color is not an intricate hand painted design. Edit 2: 1stly I ALWAYS tip except this one time where I rightfully felt like I was being robbed. It took 2 nail techs to even do the design because the first didn't know how to use the stamp. I was told pricing was due to my nail length and the "specialty" stamping plates ordered from another country (they are $5 on amazon from China and ofc are reusable). Consistency is what matters. Not robbing your customers based on skin tone is what matters. Customer service and not being rude to loyal customers is what matters. Several people are in the comments complaining about random exorbitant pricing and "Nikki" right beneath me has longer nails and was charged $60 less. I'll update the girlies on where they should go when I find a new shop in midtown wishing YOU all the best.

I wanted to replace my old set with Cat Eye gel nails (猫眼美甲), and I'm so glad I chose this spot. The ladies here are super friendly--warm without being overly chatty--and very attentive while doing the nails. I love how my new nails turned out, and the pedicure was just as great. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area!

From the…read morebeginning, the technician seemed more interested in getting a tip than providing good customer service. She kept pressuring me to leave a tip, which made me feel very uncomfortable and was completely inappropriate. They also charged me extra for gel polish removal, even though I was not charged for it during my previous visit. The unexpected extra charge was frustrating, and the way everything was handled felt unprofessional. A tip should be given voluntarily based on the quality of service, not demanded or pressured out of customers. Good customer service, respect, and transparency in pricing are the bare minimum, and unfortunately, this salon failed in all three areas. I would not recommend this salon. They seem more focused on money and tips than on customer satisfaction. I will not be returning. Very Disappointing Experience
