2025-11-03Nikki and her staff were amazing in making our girls weekend fabulous! They all were professional, courteous and kind. Some salons can come across very snooty, but we felt at home. Thank you for a great experience!

2025-10-20My friend and I decided to get our nails, brows, and eyelashes done here - on a whim, without ever visiting before. We read reviews and booked, and are so happy we did! We had Lindsay & Nish, and were very happy with their services. Both ladies were very easy to talk to, kind, and were meticulous about what we were asking for. We will definitely be back! Such a cute, little gem of a place!

2025-08-23I travel all over the country in a motorhome for 6 months every year. I have never had better nail, pedicure and hair color services than those at Polished on Main. Everyone is super skilled and meticulous. The attention to sanitation was amazing and nothing like I have ever seen. Entire salon was very clean. Everyone one there seemed happy to work there. All were wonderful to talk to. I will make sure my travels allow a stop next summer.

2024-08-01I started coming to Polished on Main this spring and fell in love. After many failed attempts in the area I nearly gave up hope until someone recommended Polished. Nikki and her crew are amazing. They care about the products they use and always do a phenomenal job. Only place I will trust with my Nails! Greta and Nikki both are incredible.
