    I have been going to Polished for about little over a year and my nail tech Nickola is amazing! I started going to Polished right around the time Nickola started working. Through this year I have seen Nickola grow into a stellar nail tech. Nickola is a hard working and truly has a passion for honing into her skill of being a nail tech. She truly put in 110% of effort and time into her work making sure the customer is happy. Nickola is also very personable and wants to connect with her customer she has been such a great person to talk to during your appointment. Her number one priority is making sure you are happy with her service. Nickola is also accommodating, I am recently a new mom and Nickola is always willing to work with my schedule. She goes above and beyond making herself available on her off days or staying later at the salon. She is amazing!! I love having Nickola as my nail tech!

    I completed the night Nail specialist program That was 16 weeks long!!! I absolutely LOVED my experience here! Mrs. Hope was my instructor, very informative and does not gait keep on information. She helped us so much all the way through the program. She will sit with you one on one and walk you through forming your nails with a nail form. Mrs. Melissa is the best! Very understanding and wants everyone to succeed as a Nail Tech!!!! She gives you all the tools you need to succeed in this industry!!! 10 out of 10 will recommend this school to anyone that’s trying to do things the right way as a Licensed Nail Tech!!!!

    I heard about this salon and their 20 day guarantee through a colleague. I never had any luck with gel polish at other salons. It would always chip& crack within a few days. I booked an appointment last fall with Julie and told her I typically only have my nails done throughout the holiday season. I said do not to expect me in the new year. Lol Well, to my surprise the gel polish lasts well beyond 20 days! I usually book an appointment every 3-4 weeks!! Needless, to say Ive been one of her regular clients for the past year! Highly recommend!

    Polished academy, is a great school. I just recently graduated from here and i have nothing but positive things to say. It was a great experience, start to finish. Very clean and professional. Lots of education in a short period of time. Melissa and Hope are wonderful ladies, willing to answer any questions and they are very helpful. If you live in Ocala or any of the surrounding areas I would definitely recommend this school to get your nail technician license.

    My wife and I visited for our first time, her getting a manicure while I got a pedicure. Both were amazing! I feel like a new man! Also found the prices to be very worthy in a quaint setting! We highly recommend and will be returning. Thank You Jessica and Melissa!

    I love this place!! As soon as you walk through the door you will not want to go to anyone else. Melissa is super friendly and awesome at what she does!! She can do anything you can imagine and beyond that to your nails. Polished is super clean and everyone is very professional there. You will not be disappointed.

    Love love loveeee! I’ll never go anywhere else!! I’ve been going here for about 2 years or more and I’m in love every single time I leave! Emily is my girllll and she is such a rockstar! Because of her, I’ll never go anywhere else! From day one she has always been so sweet and understanding! She makes my nail vision happen every time and she really takes her time! When I went to random salons in the past as a walk in, I always had cuts on my fingers or cuticles and I can say that I literally have never had one with Emily! And I am always getting compliments!Def worth making an appointment and giving it a try! All the girls are so sweet!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

  • Review 22 (2018-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    Polished is a fantastic salon. I have been going to Melissa for a very long time. I have not been disappointed with the work she does. I see her once a month. My nails hold up very well. I always get complements on them. Melissa takes pride in sculpting nails. She is up to date on the latest nail fashions. I would recommend anyone to go to Polished.

  • Review 23 (2022-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    Polished Nail Academy, is the best around! You get a first class education, and the two instructors are knowledgeable, and caring. The level of education, the products and environment are unlike the competition in the area. The owner has so many years behind the chair and brings all of that knowledge to the table to help her students. So glad I chose Polished Nail Academy, and proud to call myself a graduate from there.

  • Review 24 (2021-05-27 - Rating: 5)

    Chrissy is a delight. Her personality is a wonderful asset to the company. I cant say enough about her professional manner. She went above and beyond to make sure I had the nail design I wanted for my brothers wedding. I will most assuredly be back.

    Best place I have ever been to get my nails done! Located conveniently near downtown Ocala! Very professional yet relaxed environment providing hair, nail , massage therapy and even a small bit of jewelry for sale!! Great prices for luxury treatment! If you want to get overwhelmed with compliments then schedule an appointment here before you start your week!!

    The best nail academy Ocala has to offer! You’ll learn a lot from the instructors, Melissa & Tiffany. Very clean & beautiful school to attend. If nails is something you want to pursue I would strongly suggest PNA.💜
