| - Just so-so.
Went for a regular manicure, as I have an event after work and felt my nails could use some colour.
Didn't realize that Polish'd only does "dry" manicures. So no soaking, no warm cloths, etc. You're given the choice of lotion OR a scrub. I chose the scrub mostly because after being filed and buffed, I really thought my hands could use a wash! So they lead you over to a sink, and you wash your hands there at the sink with the sugar scrub, and then back to the chair for the polish.
The chairs are uncomfortable... you want to sit high up at the counter, but you can't without jamming your knees... so you have to sit much lower than feels right. (I should note that before they started, they were one chair short, and despite having an appointment, they asked if they could start me on the bench under the polish selections.... being pregnant and uncomfortable, and having an appt, I hesitated until they noticed a proper chair was coming right up, so I luckily got that....).
The 30-minute manicure was rushed and over in 20 minutes, and I was then ushered back to the bench while they powered through others.
I appreciate a place that is efficient and quick for a lunch-hour place... but I've definitely had better $25-manicures.
Oh - and I used a $30 gift card, and was left with $4 or $5. I asked them to use that to tip the girl, and was told they can't tip off gift cards. Hmm... so I had to pull that money out of my purse, and now I'm left with $4 or $5 that I might never use... Didn't seem fair.
Just an "okay" experience. Fine in a pinch I guess.
