About Polished Nest
Polished Nest is a cozy nail salon that offers a variety of gel polish colors, including cat-eye and magnetic options. The interior has shabby chic vibes rather than a sterile environment, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and responsive, often accommodating last-minute appointments and allowing clients to bring their own colors. Many customers appreciate the tidy craftsmanship and long-lasting results, with nails often lasting at least two weeks, thanks to a great base and top coat. The salon features a different setup from traditional salons, with clients sitting in cushioned armchairs while nail techs work off the arm of the chair, making the experience more comfortable. Polished Nest is known for providing good service, quick appointments, and beautiful manicures, sometimes with a hand and forearm massage. While some reviews mention inconsistent results and cleanliness issues like discarded nails on the floor, overall, it is a lovely spot for nail treatments. The salon also offers dip manicures, which many clients find quick and gorgeous, often receiving compliments on their nails.
such a lovely cozy place -- i got a soft gel mani + design, total was 48$ + 35$ for the design. super fast, i was done in under and hour, and the quality was so good 😻 i gave a reference photo and my nails turned out exactly like it (reference photo is the one with the tamburins perfume) at the end they give a hot lotion massage for your arms and hands... it felt so nice 😌
Really clean and very friendly. I got gel nails with cat eye polish and design. Moderately priced, great service. I asked to adjust the design twice while in progress and they were super understanding and accommodating. I felt no anxiety speaking up at all, which speaks to their service.
The nail tech was FAST and very detailed. Bummed that I am visiting because I would LOVE to have been able to have this place as a local to my area.
Parking is very difficult however!
Will be back when I go to visit SF again.
Jessica and her team are always so pleasant and professional - they do a beautiful careful job and the setting is very relaxing. No fluorescent lights and British bake show at this salon! 💅🏻
