Where artistry meets luxury in every detail
Polished Nail Studio was founded in 2018 by Sophia Lin, a master nail technician with a vision to create Portland's most elegant and sanitary nail salon. After years of working in various salons, Sophia noticed a gap in the market: clients were forced to choose between luxury aesthetics and strict sanitation standards. She knew both were possible—and necessary.
From the beginning, Polished has been built on three pillars: expert artistry, impeccable cleanliness, and genuine care for nail health. We believe beautiful nails shouldn't come at the expense of your health or safety. Every service, every tool, every product is chosen with both beauty and wellness in mind.
Today, Polished Nail Studio is a destination for clients who appreciate the finer things—expertly crafted nail art, luxurious spa experiences, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing they're in the hands of true professionals.

Safety First
Your health and safety are our top priorities. We maintain the highest sanitation standards in the industry.
All metal tools are sterilized in a hospital-grade autoclave between every single client. We follow strict sterilization protocols that exceed state requirements.
Files, buffers, and other disposable tools are used once and discarded. You'll never share tools with another client.
Our pedicure chairs feature disposable liners and are thoroughly sanitized and disinfected between every client, with jet-less systems that prevent bacterial growth.
All technicians are licensed and certified. Our salon is regularly inspected by the state board and consistently receives top marks for cleanliness.
Stations are cleaned and disinfected between appointments. We maintain a spotless environment throughout the day, not just at closing.
We use only high-quality, reputable brands that meet safety standards. Many of our polishes are 5-free or 7-free formulations.
Step into our chic, welcoming space designed for your comfort and relaxation
Polished Nail Studio features a modern, elegant interior with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and a calming atmosphere. Our manicure stations are spacious and well-lit, perfect for detailed nail art. Plush pedicure thrones with massage functions make foot care a truly indulgent experience.
We've created an environment that feels both luxurious and welcoming. Whether you're here for a quick polish change or a full spa day, you'll feel pampered, relaxed, and cared for from the moment you walk through the door.

We never force off gel or acrylic. Our gentle soak-off process protects your natural nail bed from damage.
We prepare nails correctly without over-filing or damaging the nail plate. Healthy prep means better adhesion and less damage.
We incorporate cuticle oils, hand creams, and nail strengtheners into every service to keep nails and skin hydrated.
If we notice any signs of nail damage or infection, we'll discuss it with you honestly and recommend appropriate treatment or breaks from enhancement services. Your long-term nail health matters more to us than a single appointment.
