The Simply Polished Nail Philosophy

At Simply Polished Beauty, I believe that a beautiful manicure starts with a healthy nail plate. My approach is rooted in restorative care—I do not believe in "pinching" the nail plate or filing into the lower parallels, as these aggressive techniques lead to onycholysis, hangnails, and long-term breakage.

Every nail service I provide is built on a foundation of safety and integrity. Whether we are working toward natural nail health or applying extensions, my goal is to ensure your nails are stronger when the product comes off than they were when it went on.

What’s Included in Every Service

I believe high-quality prep and shaping are the most important parts of the service, not an "extra." Every appointment includes:

• Detailed Cuticle Work: Careful, non-aggressive cleaning of the eponychium to ensure health and a seamless grow-out.

• Precision Shaping: Shortening and filing to your desired aesthetic while respecting the structural integrity of the nail.

• Uniformity Check: For a small additional fee, I can extend individual nails to ensure every finger is a perfectly uniform length.

Nail Enhancements

Nail Health FAQ

"Do you offer Russian Manicures?" I do not perform "Russian Manicures" on damaged or compromised nail plates. My first priority is to restore the nail plate and respect the eponychium. We will focus on health first—once the foundation is strong, the aesthetic results will follow.

"What happens if I break a nail between appointments?" I offer repairs for Established Clients only ($20). This ensures that I am familiar with your nail history and can perform the repair in a way that maintains the integrity of your set.
