I absolutely adore Shannon, owner of Polished. I always leave with fabulous nails and an extra pep in my step. She is a delight to talk to. Her energy and spirt motivate everyone who's in her presence. I also appreciate how much charitable work she does, particularly for the Ronald McDonald house in Charlestown. Her space is bright, pretty and clean. She is accommodating to my scheduled which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend her! Read Less

I just moved to the area and was looking for a new go to nail salon, safe to say my search is over thanks to Polished! Shannon and Lucinda gave impeccable manicures to me and my two friends - with plenty of laughs in between! They made us feel right at home in their cozy salon and were very knowledgeable about all nail products. They have so many different color options, too. I was so happy with my manicure and look forward to many more at Polished! Read Less

So warm and welcoming!My experience with the ladies at Polished was so wonderful. I felt like they welcomed me into their very clean, tidy and cozy living room for my service. I felt welcomed right into their family.When I messed up my nail putting on my shoes (argh!) there was no issue in fixing it right up for me. I'm so happy to have this wonderful boutique so close to me...but even if it wasn't, I would go out of my way to get my nails done at Polished. Read Less

I look forward to my trips to polished. I always get so many compliments on my nails when I leave here. The owner Shannon is always happy to try something new and to go above and beyond with designs or new techniques. She is the best with glitter designs! Polished is so clean and very easy to get an appointment that works for your schedule. I highly highly recommend Polished for manicures and pedicures. Read Less

Shannon is a connector, a lover of people, a go-getter, and a do-gooder.  Not only will you leave with perfect nails, but you will have a wonderful human connection, and feel like you made a sincere new friend.  So many times I go into a nail salon, nails a mess (hello!  that's why I'm there!) and the person makes me feel ashamed of them telling me I need to take better care of my nails.  Shannon, instead, sympathized with the stress of a busy life and told me she'd take care of me.  It was a great experience all around.  Also, if all that is not enough, consider supporting this nail boutique because she shuts down her shop every Thursday (and foregoes all her profits for an entire business day) to do the nails for the Ronald McDonald house patients and families.  When you go here you get a fair-priced, amazing manicure, a new sweet friend, AND an opportunity to support a charity!  An easy sell if you ask me.

Overall, I had a really good experience at Polished. Initially I was a little concerned because I had some difficulty getting an appointment- it might have been because I bought a Gilt City voucher and it was nearing expiration, so others may have been in the same boat.Either way, I thought that the manicurist did a very nice job. She did take longer than I normally would have expected- 1 hour for a shellac, but she did a great job. It's a small boutique with just 3 manicurists, but they were very friendly and kind. I would definitely consider coming back! Read Less

I have no idea where these great reviews came from. The tech herself was pleasant. Went in with a Gilt and I could tell she was new so the technique wasn't perfect but her personality made up for it. However, they do not tell you the removal of the present shellac is $10! I've never been charged this much before and it is courtesy for the business to let their customers know!! Also, when I was ready to pay the extra cost, rather then conveniently taking my card the owner told me to find the ATM and pay them in cash. Are you kidding me?! Not only am I paying double the price in removing my nail polish, having my nails painted subpar, you want me to go out of my way to get cash out?! Ridiculous. Will never be going back again. Rather then getting a "deal" I would rather go to another nail salon that was honest and did a better job. Read Less

I purchased the 3 visit Gilt voucher for this salon after seeing how high their rating was and I was NOT disappointed! I made an appointment with Shannon the owner and she was as amazing as everyone has previously stated. The salon smelled of warm pumpkin spice as soon as I entered which was a PLUS! The space is small but very comfortable and relaxing. My nails came out AMAZING, I hate when shellac does not go down to my cuticles but Shannon made sure it covered my entire nail. I will definitely be back!!!! And would highly recommend. Read Less

Bought a Gilt City voucher, was going to go in with my mom.  She didn't feel well the next day, I called to let them know 1 hour prior to apptmt time. (last min, yes)  The lady at the front desk was REALLY rude and unaccomodating, showing no sign of sympathy that she wasn't feeling well, just condescendingly said it's not good for their business and that her portion would be forfeited.  It's one thing to state the rules, but a whole other thing to be so uncaring and unprofessional, only looking out for the interest of the business.  I wouldn't have been so offended or angry if she was a tad nicer and concerned about their customers' wellbeing.  Therefore, we will NOT be coming to this salon afterall.  Customer servie/human connection is more than superficial beauty.

I had a great experience here.  Assistant Kathy helped me select a color and owner Shannon did my basic mani-pedi quickly, efficiently, gently and BEAUTIFULLY.  Both women kept me entertained the entire time, chatting effortlessly about all kinds of subjects.The salon itself is cozy, clean and comfortable, with good lighting and a great feeling of space (high ceilings, I guess) for such a small area.If you're looking for a really fancy, luxurious kind of spa -- this isn't the place.  The feel here is very down-to-earth.  I really felt as if I were getting my nails done by a friend who just happened to be a great nail artist.It's not often you find an establishment that manages to offer such friendliness and such professionalism at the same time.  Polished Nail Boutique is a class act.  I'll definitely be back.

came for a quick, basic birthday pedicure yesterday and Shannon was awesome. lots of "very's" about to hit you: she was very kind, very wise, very funny, and very attentive. it's clear Shannon loves what she does, is proud of her business, and works hard to treat her clients well - and I love nothing more than supporting women who strike out on their own in business and do it right! the space is bright, cute, and very clean (disposable tub liners!). I was obviously in very capable hands.  bonus balls: after a fantastic - and very reasonable - pedicure, I felt like i'd just had a cosy chat session with an old friend. i'd recommend Shannon and her boutique to anybody looking for attentive service and a very friendly atmosphere. i'll be back. (#protip: the boutique is on the 2nd floor, inside the sports club. the whole building is under construction - don't be swayed! it's worth the adventure through the dust and weird entrances to find this treasure!)

Apparently you NEED an appointment. Came here on a Thursday morning but nobody is home! Hours of operation are at the owners whim. Annoying that drop ins are not welcome. I guess it's my fault.The owner (I believe this is a small operation) called and apologized for not being available and explained that she volunteers on some Thursday's, which I thought was nice.

This is an intimate nail boutique, and I much prefer this atmosphere over other crowded and busy nail salons. Shannon and Cathy are wonderful - it's like hanging out with your sisters when you go there. Shannon does an awesome job, I've been seeing her consistently every 2 weeks for almost a year.  She did my nails for my wedding too. Prices are super reasonable! :) *Its definitely a little tricky to find the location the first time, so leave extra time. Read Less

Shannon was amazing. Her salon is small, very clean, and nicely decorated. Shannon is professional and friendly and made me feel right at home. But, the kicker is that my fingernails were done so well that the polish lasted through a move. Yes, I was moving my apartment the next day and somehow I walked away with nice looking fingernails. The toenails lasted for weeks. I can't recommend her enough. The place is a little tough to find, so ask her for good directions before you set off. Google maps doesn't cut it. But, once you know where it is, you'll be back again and again. Read Less

I made an appointment with Shannon the owner and she was as amazing as everyone has previously stated. The salon smelled of warm pumpkin spice as soon as I entered which was a PLUS! The space is small but very comfortable and relaxing. My nails came out AMAZING, I hate when shellac does not go down to my cuticles but Shannon made sure it covered my entire nail. I will definitely be back!!!! And would highly recommend. Read Less

Bought a Gilt City voucher, was going to go in with my mom.  She didn't feel well the next day, I called to let them know 1 hour prior to apptmt time. (last min, yes)  The lady at the front desk was REALLY rude and unaccomodating, showing no sign of sympathy that she wasn't feeling well, just condescendingly said it's not good for their business and that her portion would be forfeited.  It's one thing to state the rules, but a whole other thing to be so uncaring and unprofessional, only looking out for the interest of the business.  I wouldn't have been so offended or angry if she was a tad nicer and concerned about their customers' wellbeing.  Therefore, we will NOT be coming to this salon afterall.  Customer servie/human connection is more than superficial beauty.

I had a great experience here.  Assistant Kathy helped me select a color and owner Shannon did my basic mani-pedi quickly, efficiently, gently and BEAUTIFULLY.  Both women kept me entertained the entire time, chatting effortlessly about all kinds of subjects.The salon itself is cozy, clean and comfortable, with good lighting and a great feeling of space (high ceilings, I guess) for such a small area.If you're looking for a really fancy, luxurious kind of spa -- this isn't the place.  The feel here is very down-to-earth.  I really felt as if I were getting my nails done by a friend who just happened to be a great nail artist.It's not often you find an establishment that manages to offer such friendliness and such professionalism at the same time.  Polished Nail Boutique is a class act.  I'll definitely be back.

Shannon is awesome. She's friendly and does everything in her power to make the experience the best. And yes, make an appointment beforehand! She's great, but she's also only one person. I saw her have to turn away a few different people who tried to walk in (which I'm sure kills her inside). Give her the opportunity to do a good job and you'll love it. Read Less

came for a quick, basic birthday pedicure yesterday and Shannon was awesome. lots of "very's" about to hit you: she was very kind, very wise, very funny, and very attentive. it's clear Shannon loves what she does, is proud of her business, and works hard to treat her clients well - and I love nothing more than supporting women who strike out on their own in business and do it right! the space is bright, cute, and very clean (disposable tub liners!). I was obviously in very capable hands.  bonus balls: after a fantastic - and very reasonable - pedicure, I felt like i'd just had a cosy chat session with an old friend. i'd recommend Shannon and her boutique to anybody looking for attentive service and a very friendly atmosphere. i'll be back. (#protip: the boutique is on the 2nd floor, inside the sports club. the whole building is under construction - don't be swayed! it's worth the adventure through the dust and weird entrances to find this treasure!)

Apparently you NEED an appointment. Came here on a Thursday morning but nobody is home! Hours of operation are at the owners whim. Annoying that drop ins are not welcome. I guess it's my fault.The owner (I believe this is a small operation) called and apologized for not being available and explained that she volunteers on some Thursday's, which I thought was nice. I was very angry that morning but have since cooled down and am willing to give them another shot! Read Less

This is an intimate nail boutique, and I much prefer this atmosphere over other crowded and busy nail salons. Shannon and Cathy are wonderful - it's like hanging out with your sisters when you go there. Shannon does an awesome job, I've been seeing her consistently every 2 weeks for almost a year.  She did my nails for my wedding too. Prices are super reasonable! :) *Its definitely a little tricky to find the location the first time, so leave extra time. Read Less

Shannon was amazing. Her salon is small, very clean, and nicely decorated. Shannon is professional and friendly and made me feel right at home. But, the kicker is that my fingernails were done so well that the polish lasted through a move. Yes, I was moving my apartment the next day and somehow I walked away with nice looking fingernails. The toenails lasted for weeks. I can't recommend her enough. The place is a little tough to find, so ask her for good directions before you set off. Google maps doesn't cut it. But, once you know where it is, you'll be back again and again. Read Less
