New to the area and needed a go-to nail spot - so glad I tried Polished! Welcoming and open interior space that was clean. Wilma was lovely and did my pedicure and no chip- mani with great detail and I'm very happy with how they turned out. Will definitely be back :)

White spots are damage and pink is the new nail growth.

Polished ruined my nails! I had a good experience with a seasoned nail technician the first time; however, during subsequent two subsequent visits, the front desk manager, Nina, assigned me to novices who overfiled nail surfaces. It is taking me months to grow out the brittle and damaged nails.

**** HORRIFYING EXPERINCE **** I walked into the polished salon in oak park on 2/6/24 around 5pm. I showed the receptionist who I later found out was the owner a picture of the design I wanted to get done. She confirmed they could do this particular style and brought the Nail tech (Izmar) to the front and she confirmed she knew how to do this style. I asked for the price which was $115.0 and I agreed for her to start. Once I sat down in the techs chair as she was starting the foundation of my Gel X nails -I noticed her process was different then what I am used to with getting Gel X. She was one the phone talking to someone majority of the time. Once she got of the phone I informed her that two of my nails were crooked. She agreed that one nail was crooked and told me that the other nail was not crooked it was just my finger is crooked. I told her that was odd because my finger was not crooked before when getting these done by someone else. We agreed that she take both nails off and redo them. Once we starting doing the design I noticed the process was not going correctly so I politely said " if this design is too complicated I understand we can do something basic". She reassured me she knew what she is doing ...I decided to trust the process and let her continue. The Nail Tech starts doing the flower part of the design and stops midway during my nails and says quote " I'm sorry this design is too complicated for me." WHICH I ALREADY KNEW AS I WATCHED HER STRUGGLE DOING THEM. She also informed me after that she didn't have everything needed to complete the design. Due to the fact that she could not complete the design I told her to take it all off and I will pick a solid color ---once the process is complete and Its close to 8PM and I am leaving the salon without what I originally asked for. Now all I have is basic gel X with NO design one color polish and the tech rings me out and tells me my total is $85.00.......the starting price is $65.0 I have no designs just PLAIN POLISH. The tech proceeds to tell me the reason she is charging me $85 and not $65 is because she had to take off the prior design .......THE DESIGN THAT SHE COULD NOT COMPLETE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE SKILLS TODO AND DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE PRODUCTS TO FINISH. How is this my fault as the customer ? Why would you agree to something knowing you can't ? Why wouldn't you confirm that you have all the products necessary before you start ? and you are going to charge me for YOUR negligence??? I THINK NOT....I spoke to the owner and we agreed on $65.00. The owner also told me that normally they would charge $75.00. On the phone someone told me the starting price is $65 for basic one color polish(which is what I received)---the tech rings me up for $85......and now the owner is telling me $75 Soooo what is the correct cost ??? This is not rocket science...my nail salon experience with them has been forever ruined. When you get your nails done it's supposed to be a calming experience ---not all this back and forth. Moral of the story its ok to say NO--please do not say you can do designs and you can't. She couldn't even do something as basic as French tips. Also she is not doing Gel X properly!! I would not come here for Gel X AT ALL!! Side note: I used to come to polished all the time in high school they did my nails for both proms and Hoco every year. They used to be good/reliable. It's a shame that now they can barely do a basic/simple application. I still have to go to another salon to have them take these off due to the poor application. This was not only a waste of money but a waste of time. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ---

Nails PRIDE ‍ ready!

Nina offers a warm welcome every time I walk in and Izamar is wonderful! I've been to many nail spots but I've found my favorite nail technician ever, Izamar. She is very thorough and detailed but efficient. I get an acrylic overlay on my natural nail with no chip polish and no chip pedicures. Definitely recommend this spot!

I've been to the new Polished location on numerous occasions now. They do a great job with their manicures & pedicures, & they do a wonderful job accommodating my 4-year-old daughter. They're very reasonable with the pricing for the little ones, too. One word of advice though: make an appointment! Don't expect to walk-in availability on the weekends or evenings.

Cozy ambience

See all
