The local community feel that we all had.”Īnd the manicures we all had, let’s not forget that!Īt Polished you’ll find all manner of shapes, colors and nail designs at your finger tips. I loved it 6 years ago when I moved to DTLA. “DTLA should continue to bring innovation to the nail industry. “I’m a Christian and I try to be positive in every aspect of life, Loving God ! Nothing is successful without glory to God.” Looking back, Nancy states she’s truly thankful to God to be open again. Nancy says her joy comes from creating pretty nails for her clients who frequent for the quality, attention to detail, customer service and how Polished Nail Salon keeps up with the latest nail trends.ĭespite the major accomplishment of owning and operating a successful salon in a major metropolis, Nancy states ensuring the survival of her small business through Covid and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is a story that should not be left untold.įorced to close the salon, then allowed to partially re-open the salon while having to invest in mandated Covid supplies, only to close and reopen again at a moment’s notice this is Polished Nail Salon’s tale of perseverance and faith. Polished offers “the Heavenly” for the ultimate pampering, a pedicure complete with callus remover, cuticle and nail trim, lacquer and massage. While patrons tune out to explore the ultra dimension of social media, the Lexor chair’s adjustable footrest prop each foot as it rises from the comfortably warm twirling waters below.

Inside Polished Nail Salon, however, is calm and relaxed and for good reason. Nancy Nguyen opened Polished Nail Salon in 2017 with the purpose to fill her new 2000 sq ft space with community members looking to enhance their appearance with hand and foot care.Ī visit to Polished has an inner-city feel from inside, patrons see the glimpse of passerby’s through the salon’s floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing the sporadic hustle of our Historic Core. We remembered! Didn’t take long after news of reopening for DTLA to spring back into action. Want wasn’t expected an unforeseen worldwide pandemic that would shake DTLA to its core only to release it a year later in hopes that somehow we would remember who we once were. At Polished, this was an expected practice. Mandatory conditions authorized by the local health departments and legal rulings long passed into existence, laid out for all in the beauty industry. Mask, sanitation, and safety were already a necessary mandate at Polished Salon. Each new Spring confirms our determination and our ability to survive the coldest, darkest winter months. Spring is here, revisiting DTLA once again revealing to us the beauty of everything new. Soon celebrating its fifth year, the corner nail salon known for great pedicures in the Historic Core is emerging from the winter months with a whole new look, and due to Covid, a whole new purpose.
